Who is Ordinary Who is Extraordinary

Lu Ze's mod library was packed to the brim.

The [Nine Heavens Divine Thunder] from Chaowendao, Zhong Yi's [Great Dao Spirit Words], Li Moran's [Profound Ice Sword Art]...

All were things he casually crafted in his free time.

As the creator of "My World," Lu Ze had an innate grasp of its laws, further enhanced by the skills he'd acquired through the system.

Unlike others who had to painstakingly study for days, crafting mods was as effortless as eating or drinking for him.

However, if he were to unleash mods like [Nine Heavens Divine Thunder] or [Great Dao Spirit Words], the entire Lingxiao Sect would undoubtedly scour the world the next day for traces of "White Veil's" true identity.

"Then, I'll use you..."

Lu Ze chuckled as he selected the topmost skill mod—

The [Heavenly Dao Black Veil] mod.

This was the skill mod used by the remnants of the Heavenly Dao in illusions, where it took the form of a "Black Veil" to torment others from time to time.

With its ever-changing, indestructible obsidian, it could instantly annihilate anyone in its path.

"Damn, this is going to make someone feel even more immersed..."

Lu Ze muttered to himself as he walked up to the shop.

He exchanged all his remaining spirit stones for obsidian.

"It's time to end this."

Lu Ze sighed.

It was a shame to wrap things up before he could fully enjoy farming demonic points.

He tossed an Ender Pearl toward the central island.

In an instant, his figure appeared at the very heart of the map.

Meanwhile, the remaining team members, having learned of "White Veil's" appearance, rushed toward the central island!

...

In Zhong Yi's illusionary world...

"Brother White, what a blunder!"

Zhong Yi sighed inwardly.

With the final showdown upon them, he muted his voice to avoid disturbing "White Veil's" maneuvers and instead started bantering with the live chat.

"Brother White is undoubtedly powerful, but now that skill mods are involved, it's tied to real-world strength..."

"Stalling until the random event ends would've been the wiser move!"

The chat overwhelmingly agreed with Zhong Yi's take.

[Youthful arrogance, understandable.]

[Those who can craft mods nowadays are all top talents of their sects.]

[I recall even Senior Brother Zhong hasn't made a mod yet.]

[Maybe he bought it from the mod market?]

[No way! Mods sold there are not only expensive but also pale in comparison to the techniques of these elite disciples.]

[White Veil is too overconfident...]

[Let him see the gap between ordinary folks and prodigies!]

...

Lu Ze stood at the central island, leisurely awaiting the storm.

He even dug a hole, poured in a bucket of water, and sat by it fishing.

Several Ender Pearls rained down from the sky.

Over a dozen contestants appeared around the central island in quick succession.

"White Veil!"

Li Jiujian's voice rang out first.

He stood atop an iron sword, hovering leisurely in the air. Behind him floated several stone and iron swords.

"You showed me such 'kindness' earlier... Now it's my turn!"

"Haha, Brother White, what a leisurely mood—fishing, no less..."

Shen Yan swung his sword, golden light coating the blade and shaping it into a hammer.

"Could it be... you're fishing for a mod?"

"Brother White, seems like you're doomed..."

Zhou Yue crossed his arms, shaking his head with a smirk.

The black-and-red flame giant behind him mimicked the motion.

"How about this? I'll help you survive this random event, and afterward, you spar with me alone. Deal?"

"Brother Zhou, you'd dare help him? What if he's a demonic cultivator!?"

Xu Huoyao's voice was laced with fury as violet-black flames spread from his fists, threatening to engulf his entire body.

The humiliation of being trapped and slaughtered repeatedly by "White Veil" earlier had ignited an unquenchable rage within him.

"Today, this bastard dies by my hands!!"

With that, he channeled his flames to their peak and charged straight at "White Veil."

Everyone held different attitudes toward "White Veil,"

but everyone wanted him dead.

As if it were some prestigious honor.

In an instant, the scene turned spectacular—

Countless flying swords, a colossal golden hammer, a violet-black flame giant, crystalline frost sword energy...

All converged from all directions toward "White Veil" at the center!

The storm was coming.

Yet "White Veil" remained seated, eyes half-lidded, still fishing.

"Ah, got a bite."

He tugged the rod, and a perfectly grilled fish appeared in his inventory.

At the same time,

just as the onslaught was about to strike—

Countless obsidian blocks erupted beneath his feet!

In an instant, an indestructible barrier formed, swallowing every attack whole!

Every onlooker's eyes widened in shock.

This technique—

Everyone recognized it!

It was the signature move of that mysterious entity, the "Black Veil"!

The scene left Zhong Yi and the cultivators watching his livestream utterly dumbfounded.

[What the hell? The "Black Veil"!?]

[Damn, there really is a Black Veil!]

[How does he know the Black Veil's techniques?]

[This is just broken...]

[Who the hell is White Veil!? How is he this terrifying!?]

[Now that you mention it, this "White Veil" character is basically the counterpart to "Black Veil."]

[Outmatched in skill, outmatched in mods...]

[Well then, who's the ordinary one, and who's the prodigy here?]

...

The smoke slowly dissipated.

The obsidian barrier hadn't even cracked.

Block by block, the obsidian receded,

revealing a face identical to the "Black Veil's"—

save for the eyes, which now had pupils instead of blank whites.

This was the face of "Steve," the protagonist from his past life's "My World."

Lu Ze couldn't help but smirk at the sight of Xu Huoyao collapsed before him.

While everyone else attacked from range, this fool had charged in fists-first, only to lose half his HP from the obsidian barrier's recoil.

"You—!"

Xu Huoyao tried to spit out a threat,

but before he could finish, an obsidian spike pierced his chest, ending him instantly.

At that moment, the last flicker of hope in the others' eyes died.

This mysterious man wasn't just using a skill mod resembling the "Black Veil"—

He was the "Black Veil" incarnate!

"Alright then..."

Lu Ze rose with a sinister grin, stowing his fishing rod.

One after another, obsidian spikes levitated behind him, poised to strike.

"Who's next?"

...

In Zhong Yi's illusionary world, the spectators were once again stunned by "White Veil's" actions.

[Why not just kill them outright? Why trap them with obsidian?]

[RIP Senior Brother Zhou—he'll be seeing obsidian in his nightmares tonight.]

[This is just cruel and insane!]

[Compared to White Demon, even Lu Demon seems like a saint!]

...

The match concluded.

Lu Ze emerged victorious.

"Haha, Brother White! See? I told you I wasn't jinxing it!"

Zhong Yi cheered, overjoyed.

Recently, the pressure on him had been immense.

So many people claimed that his True Words Spirit Root had turned into a Jinx Spirit Root, and even he began to doubt himself.

But in the end, the facts proved it was all just coincidence!

Didn’t Lu Ze still secure victory?

When asked about it, Lu Ze’s response was simple:

“Heh.”

He couldn’t be bothered to explain.

Because of Zhong Yi’s careless remark, he had lost hundreds of points of Demonic Path Value.

Still, he chose to forgive this walking disaster.

After all, the rewards he could reap from him were far more valuable than a mere few hundred points.

Right on cue, the system’s notification chimed in his mind.

[Quest Completed!]

[Host has slaughtered righteous cultivators within the Heavenly Dao Secret Realm, claimed final victory, and left numerous prodigies with psychological scars!]

[Reward: For the next week, all Demonic Path Value rewards will be tripled.]
