"Find them for me!! You must find them!!!"
Zhou Yue, who had just been revived, trembled with rage as he looked at the white armor and white blade now strapped to his body.
Luring him into a trap was one thing, and ambushing him was something he could tolerate.
But stripping him of all his gear and then calling him a broke loser…
That was just inhuman!!
"Got it! Leave it to me!"
Mu Yawen, who had been scouring the area around the Xihe Courtyard, shouted back confidently.
"Senior Brother Zhou, you’re so skilled—how did they manage to kill you? Did they corner you?"
Zhong Yi, who had come to revive Zhou Yue, asked curiously.
"They… laid out a trail of purple and gold items, lured me into this tiny room, and then…"
Before Zhou Yue could finish, laughter suddenly erupted in the team voice chat—Mu Yawen’s voice.
"Heh, Senior Brother, there’s a golden armor in this room! Haha… Holy crap!!!"
……
……
By the time Zhong Yi and Zhou Yue rushed over, they saw Mu Yawen, forced to unleash his ultimate skill, already transformed into a dark, menacing deity, locked in fierce combat with three opponents.
Mu Yawen’s fighting style was brutally straightforward—he focused all his attacks on Temuer in the middle, completely ignoring the other two.
"Damn, Junior Brother Mu’s ultimate is this insane?"
Zhong Yi was stunned—this was his first time witnessing the transformation of Yue Mountain.
"Haha! This feels amazing!"
Mu Yawen executed a leaping slash, sending Temuer flying.
"I feel like a god of war!"
"Junior Brother Mu, save some for me… Let me finish the rest!"
Zhou Yue’s eyes burned with vengeance at the sight of his enemies.
Without hesitation, he ignited his ultimate.
"Raging Inferno!!!"
With a furious roar, crimson flames engulfed Zhou Yue’s body, transforming him into a blazing deity.
Under the stimulation of the fire aura, his mobility multiplied several times over.
Like a flaming arrow loosed from a bow, he shot toward the two enemies still attacking Mu Yawen.
"Hell yeah!!!"
A fiery slash tore through the air as Zhou Yue howled in exhilaration.
Admittedly, this was the first time the trio had ever managed to fully charge their ultimate gauges.
Zhong Yi watched the two with envy.
Mu Yawen and Zhou Yue had been fighting nonstop since the start, so their rage had built up quickly.
Zhong Yi, however…
Had spent the opening moments napping in a river valley, relying solely on passive rage generation—his gauge still wasn’t full.
He glanced at his ultimate skill: [Vajra Subdues Evil].
The description claimed he could transform into a colossal vajra guardian, which sounded incredibly tempting.
Zhong Yi desperately wanted to unleash his ultimate and fight alongside his brothers!
The fastest way to build rage was to attack enemies.
"Old Zhou, Old Zhou—hold back a little, let me handle this!!"
Unable to resist any longer, Zhong Yi raised his spear and thrust forward.
The next second, he was sent flying by a charged attack from the enemy.
The player controlling Cui Sanniang blinked in confusion. "Huh… Did I just hit something? And who was that babbling behind me?"
……
The battle was a one-sided slaughter.
The three opposing players weren’t particularly strong.
Or rather, at this stage, aside from prodigies like Zhou Yue and Li Moran, most fights were just noobs clashing.
Mu Yawen had single-handedly held off all three, forced them to burn their ultimates, and even taken down Temuer.
The moment Zhou Yue entered the fray as the fire god, the outcome was already decided.
"Hmph, so what if I’m using a white blade against your purple one?"
Zhou Yue launched Cui Sanniang into the air with an uppercut, then swiftly sidestepped, charging a sword beam.
The flaming slash pierced through Cui Sanniang’s body, ending her life.
Zhong Yi, who had been observing from the sidelines, muttered thoughtfully, "Weird… Old Zhou’s dashing speed after activating his ultimate seems way faster than any of ours…"
"Haha, fighting—this is the best!!"
The dark aura around Mu Yawen gradually dissipated as he reverted to his normal form, swinging his broadsword with lingering excitement.
"Damn it, take your white trash back!"
Zhou Yue angrily rummaged through the three enemy soul cairns, searching for his stolen gear.
The battle had been fruitful.
Zhou Yue reclaimed his purple Tang blade and purple armor, plus an extra purple weapon and a golden chestplate.
More importantly, they now had plenty of healing items.
"Heal up! Once we’re topped off, let’s head to the Immortal Shrine to hunt more prey!"
Zhong Yi reminded them.
He pricked his ears—the Immortal Shrine to the east had fallen eerily quiet.
The moment he spoke, an arrow whistled through the air and struck Zhou Yue square in the forehead.
The two bars of armor Zhou Yue had just restored were instantly wiped out.
"Damn it! Another rat hiding in the shadows!"
Zhou Yue yanked the arrow from his head and followed the sound, looking up at the rooftops.
A fully stacked trio stood atop the building, glaring down at them.
"Fall back, heal first!"
Zhong Yi decisively grabbed Zhou Yue and Mu Yawen by the shoulders.
Mu Yawen was reckless, and Zhou Yue was overconfident in his skills—both clearly wanted to fight despite the odds.
Having witnessed the power of ultimates, Zhong Yi’s mind was crystal clear.
A team without ultimates challenging one with them was suicide!
Especially when their health and armor were already in the red!
"Trying to run?"
The Temuer player among the rooftop trio immediately noticed Zhong Yi’s plan.
He leapt down, his body swirling with a sandstorm-like aura.
"Sandstorm’s Wrath!"
A massive tornado erupted, trapping the three inside.
Zhong Yi’s team knew firsthand how terrifying this skill was.
Last round, they’d been wiped out by the combo of Temuer and Ning Hongye.
The worst part? Enemies could move freely within the tornado, but anyone caught inside would be forced to cover their eyes, moving at a snail’s pace—completely helpless!
At the same time, another figure appeared.
The enemy Master Tianhai activated his ultimate, transforming into a towering black vajra, as large as a hill!
The vajra’s face was fierce, with two additional arms sprouting from its back, its body covered in intricate runes. Every step it took shook the earth.
The sheer pressure was overwhelming!
"Oh no…"
Even someone as confident as Zhou Yue felt his heart sink.
"Dammit, let’s just fight them!!"
Mu Yawen, furious, drew his broadsword, ready to go all out.
"Old Zhou, Junior Brother Mu."
Zhong Yi sighed and stepped forward, shielding them.
"Don’t worry. I’m here."
Zhou Yue: "That’s exactly why I’m worried…"
Zhong Yi: "…"
"I can transform into a vajra too. Stay behind me and heal up… Leave the rest to me!"
As the enemy vajra closed in, Zhong Yi activated his ultimate without hesitation.
"Vajra Subdues Evil!"
With a thunderous roar, Zhong Yi transformed into an equally massive black vajra.
"Tch, extra arms? I know all about that."
Zhong Yi smirked, shaking his head with confidence.
"Old Zhou, Junior Brother Mu… Listen carefully."
"When Master Tianhai transforms, a weak point appears somewhere on his body—a golden mark!"
"Find it and attack… We might still have a chance!"
Zhong Yi had studied Master Tianhai’s skills and knew the details.
With his guidance, Zhou Yue quickly spotted the golden rune on the enemy vajra.
"Found it! Right at the neck... Junior Brother Mu, shoot it with the bird gun!"
"Got it!"
Mu Yawen and Zhou Yue huddled beside Zhong Yi's massive foot, feeling an inexplicable sense of security.
"Hard to believe... Old Zhong can actually make me feel at ease even in the midst of a combat illusion."
Zhou Yue swallowed some armor powder while marveling at the thought.
"What kind of nonsense is that?!"
Zhong Yi shot him a glare.
"By the way, help me check where my weak spot is... So I can adjust my stance during the fight."
"Alright..."
Zhou Yue responded, then raised his head.
The moment he lifted his neck, his eyes widened in shock.
Between the legs of Zhong Yi's colossal Buddha form, a talisman seal blazed with dazzling golden light.

grated, and just when he finally managed to get into an elite academy, he discovered that he actually had a system, and the way to earn rewards was extremely ridiculous. So for the sake of rewards, he had no choice but to start acting ridiculous as well. Su Cheng: "It's nothing but system quests after all." But later, what confused Su Cheng was that while he was already quite ridiculous, he never expected those serious characters to gradually become ridiculous too. And the way they looked at him became increasingly strange... (This synopsis doesn't do it justice, please read the full story)
