Show It Tonight

Heavenly Dao Livestream.

Just a few seconds ago, the sky was filled with a barrage of tearful comments, deeply moved by the ultimate goodness in the human world.

Just when everyone felt that "goodness" had been personified...

No one could have imagined that the touching moment would last merely a few seconds. The incredibly heartwarming scene of a shield cultivator using a grappling hook to bring a stranger to the extraction point was torn to shreds by an overwhelming barrage of fireballs.

[???]

[Animal... What an absolute animal!!!]

[Too beastly!!!]

[Pfft!! Old Demon Lu, give me back my tears!!!]

[Has the righteous path ultimately lost to Old Demon Lu...]

[The most benevolent and the most evil in history actually appeared in the exact same frame.]

[Doesn't the Red Wolf's triple fireball have a delayed explosion? Why did Old Demon Lu's explode instantly??]

[I don't get it, but I'm deeply shocked.]

[The worst hit the Red Wolf's reputation has ever taken!!]

[Right now, the Red Wolf is even scarier than Uluru, anyone else feel that?]

...

Lingxiao Sect Spectator Area.

The previously boiling crowd of Lingxiao Sect disciples instantly fell dead silent.

Everyone collectively gasped, causing the surrounding temperature to plummet.

The next moment, without much communication.

The disciples who had just returned to the sect scrambled to exit, not even bothering to find an excuse.

The Lingxiao Sect Spectator Area instantly became even more deserted than before...

"Junior Brother Lu, you really played a brilliant move..."

Zhong Yi covered his forehead, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

He knew very well in his heart that Lu Ze had simply bombed the extraction point and coincidentally hit Mu Yawen; it definitely wasn't targeted.

If he had just bombed the people at the extraction point, that would be one thing—at most, it would be a troll playstyle on par with Hualai.

But the scene of Mu Yawen sacrificing himself to save someone was incredibly shocking and highly infectious.

Bombing the extraction point during a moment that moved the entire cultivation world...

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say the level of beastliness had multiplied tenfold.

Lu Ze's reputation was beyond saving...

He thought to himself, but quickly let it go.

It seemed that it had been beyond saving for a long time now...

"However, how did he manage to make it explode instantly?"

Zhong Yi, who had always been keen on studying various tactics, instantly took an interest in Lu Ze's method of bombing the extraction point.

He recalled Lu Ze's bizarre actions at the time and soon had a clue.

"Oh... I get it!"

"Eighty-eight meters... is probably the maximum flight distance for the triple fireball..."

"Does the fireball explode when it reaches eighty-eight meters?"

"Junior Brother Lu must have perfectly calculated the time and angle..."

"He truly is a genius!"

...

...

Lu Ze happily looted all the bags.

He wasn't worried that the last gate was gone.

Because he had already secured a spot at the top of the tower's extraction point, and he had plenty of time to get there.

"So bombing the extraction point is this beastly? It can increase the progress bar by this much all at once..."

As Lu Ze rushed to the top of the tower, his eyes sparkled with anticipation.

The returns for bombing the extraction point are this high?

That's wonderful.

On the Bakhsh map alone, he had a full nine different locations to bomb extraction points!

Nine!

"Bomb each place once, and the mission will be complete~~"

...

...

Throughout the night.

Lu Ze changed his spots and tricks countless times, playing the Initial Sage in Bakhsh for the whole night.

That night, everyone in Bakhsh feared for their lives.

A Red Wolf might spawn in a corner, a Weilong might spawn overhead, and a six-burst fireball might spawn at the extraction point...

Seeing [Lu Ze] appear on the list of star cultivators, players often fought tooth and nail just to drop their bags and extract.

This was his reputation.

"So strange..."

Lu Ze, who had just exited the illusion, frowned in deep confusion.

This night in Bakhsh could be said to have gone very poorly.

He originally thought that since bombing the extraction point for the first time increased the progress bar by 20%, completing the mission should be a breeze.

Even if subsequent attempts didn't add as much as the first time, it shouldn't be ridiculously low.

However, the truth was that the progress bar increase from bombing extraction points was no different from Hualai.

But how efficient was Hualai?

Not only did bombing an extraction point require waiting an entire match, but by the latter half of the night, competitors had likely learned about the bombing tactic by watching streams or browsing forums.

This caused his success rate for bombing to drop.

Cultivators would rather not extract at all than be bombed to death.

In many matches, not only did Lu Ze fail to act as the Initial Sage, but he also ended up getting lost because all the dropped bags for extraction were snatched up...

After a whole night, he earned fewer spirit stones than at the Dam.

Despite the mission progress bar surging by 20% in the first match, it only increased by a total of 30% by the end.

This left Lu Ze incredibly puzzled.

"Strange, what exactly did I do in the first match to increase the Initial Sage value by so much..."

The confusion in Lu Ze's heart remained unresolved.

Early the next morning, Zhong Yi brought Mu Yawen to visit the Spirit Jade Pavilion.

"Junior Brother Lu, you really did a great deed..."

...

After hearing Zhong Yi's description, Lu Ze finally understood why bombing the extraction point the first time increased the bar by a whopping 20%.

Mu Yawen's hook at the extraction point was exactly like a famous scene from his previous life.

It could be said that this single hook drastically raised the moral standards of the players.

And then his own hand cannon successfully blasted the players' moral standards right back to their original state...

No, they were probably even lower than before.

Originally, bombing an extraction point was quite an Initial Sage thing to do, but since he coincidentally bombed a saint, it became a heinous, ultimate Initial Sage act.

This served as evidence for Lu Ze's speculation about the system mission.

The increase in the progress bar, which was the Initial Sage value, was based on the viewing cultivators' opinions of the event.

Often, seeing something for the first time was highly shocking, so the Initial Sage value increased the most.

Afterwards, as people got used to it, the increase would slowly diminish.

Unless, like the first time he bombed the extraction point, he managed to bomb a "true saint."

Such special events would grant extra Initial Sage value.

"So the point is, not only do I have to be an Initial Sage, but I also have to do it in various ways?"

Lu Ze muttered softly, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

This was a bit twisted.

The Initial Sage tactics he had learned from some almighty expert or cowardly junior in his past life were almost depleted...

Even then, it had only reached 60%, and that was with the bonus of accidentally bombing Mu Yawen.

Looking at it this way, reaching 100% on the progress bar within five days was going to be much harder than he thought.

"Senior Brother Mu, apologies for yesterday."

Lu Ze turned around and sincerely apologized to Mu Yawen.

"Junior Brother Lu, your fireball is truly amazing... That's the first time I've ever seen one explode in mid-air!"

Mu Yawen showed no intention of blaming him and cheerfully gave Lu Ze a thumbs up.

"Want to learn? I'll teach you!"

Lu Ze said with a smile.

"Shoo, shoo, don't corrupt Junior Brother Mu!"

Zhong Yi glared at Lu Ze.

"Hehe, Red Wolf is too hard, I can't learn it... Junior Brother Lu, if you're willing to teach, why not teach me the Deep Blue techniques?"

Mu Yawen seemed quite happy upon hearing that Lu Ze wanted to teach him.

"Shield Do—Bro? That works too, I can teach you anytime."

Lu Ze didn't overthink it and nodded in agreement.

"Then... can you demonstrate it in tonight's match?"

Mu Yawen was full of anticipation.

Among players, the pick rate for shield cultivators was extremely low.

Throughout the twelve days of the tournament, he hadn't encountered a single shield cultivator besides himself.

Therefore, upon hearing that Lu Ze knew how to play Deep Blue, Mu Yawen couldn't help but feel a surge of anticipation.

Lu Ze smiled brightly: "Of course! I'll show you tonight!"
