Chapter 242: Chapter 181: Bei Zige’s instant kill show!
Players’ forums soon featured several hot topics.
“Incredible! Hall of Valor simultaneously births three Transcendents! It’s said that ascending to a Transcendent is easier than drinking water, you only need…”
“Shocking! Vice Chairman of the Hall of Valor actually challenges a solo player to a duel! The story behind it is infuriating…”
“Guilds’ Earthquake! Chuxi Guild Chairman is furious! Tomorrow’s showdown with Hall of Valor’s Guild!”
“God’s Love Guild sends two into battle, leader vows to knock out a trashy man with two punches! Players: What in the world happened?!”
“Don’t! Miss! This! The Three Major Guilds actually going all out over one guy?! Tomorrow, Amber City opens public beta for a massive Transcendent free-for-all!”
“…”
A series of headings caught players off guard and imnsely shook them.
Only after clicking in did they realize, oh, there’s going to be a public PK tomorrow, with two of the Three Major Guilds participating, plus a top-tier guild,… and most importantly, there was a solo player involved.
This was very thought-provoking.
Coupled with the subtle hints in the posts and the highly persuasive “speculation,” players who viewed the posts were abuzz with discussions.
Just what earth-shattering, insane thing did this solo player called “Polaris” do, to trigger such a terrible clash of dragons and tigers?
At the sa ti, what shocked the players was that the first batch of Transcendents quietly ca out fresh from the oven during the beta! And they were revealed all at once, a total of ten Transcendents!
The topic began to spread, with confusion and anticipation fernting over ti.
More and more players were looking forward to tomorrow’s PK to satisfy their intense curiosity. This was the first large-scale PK among Transcendent players since the public beta started!

The following morning.
Black ssenger Square.
A very large number of players gathered here.
Those nearby almost all rushed to the scene, hoping to witness this spectacle up close.
“Holy shit! So this place is called Black ssenger Square, and that statue… is it the ‘Erald Town Guide,’ the Black ssenger?!”
A newcor player expressed his shock upon seeing the winged humanoid statue by the water pond.
“That’s him! I got scared when I first ca here too!”
Another player nearby explained.
“But haven’t you seen the latest reveal post on the forums? Just a couple of days ago soone discovered that this Black ssenger is freaking Jack!”
“Which Jack?”
“The protagonist from the ‘Prelude’ video, and the official CG you see when you enter the ga. The ‘Destiny Guide’ Jack Spett!”
“I didn’t watch the ‘Prelude’, I skipped the official CG.”
“…”
More and more players arrived at the square and were also drawn to the statue of the Black ssenger.
The news that the Black ssenger was Jack was also becoming known to more people.
Many players slapped their thighs excitedly, realizing that the “Guide of Destiny” had even made a cao as a mysterious rchant! No wonder that was his title!
There were also rumors that the Transcendent players in today’s PK, including the solo player, were all able to advance so quickly to Transcendents and widen the gap with ordinary players because they joined the faction of the NPC Jack.
The players who could co to the square in the Inner City District to watch the battle at this stage were mostly capable individuals. Hearing this, they imdiately had a thought—
That was to find a chance to get in touch with the NPC Jack! Join his faction! And then gain Supernatural Knowledge from him to ascend to a Transcendent!
“Polaris bro, you’re here.”
Dongyang stood on the edge of the square and saw a young man coming quickly from a distance.
Polaris nodded at him.
Chenxi, Doghead Gold, and Su Keying, along with six other players, stood beside the trio headed by Dongyang.
“Since everyone has arrived, let’s begin.”
Dongyang suggested.
“Okay.”
Polaris replied briefly.
Su Keying conscientiously started the live stream and titled it—
“Public Beta Transcendent Brawl! Hall of Valor, God’s Love, Chuxi, and solo player Polaris join the fray!”
As soon as the live stream opened, the long-awaiting players flooded in, sending the chat flying with comnts.
“Wow! It’s finally starting!” “Hurry up! Hurry up!” “Don’t dawdle, just start fighting!” “Let see what the man at the center of the controversy looks like, how many legs does he have!” “Hall of Valor bros, cheer for the Vice Chairman!” “Go God’s Love!” “Go Chenxi sis!”
Dongyang silently glanced at the number of viewers in the live stream. It had reached three million and was still increasing.
He knew this was the result of the operation team’s hype. Unfortunately, there wasn’t much ti, just one night, and the incident hadn’t had ti to fernt… But ti waits for no one, and he had to make an appearance soon, or when other players also beco Transcendents, this gimmick would lose its value.
He closed the live stream, exited the forums.
Dongyang looked around, as the square was surrounded by many players, including many local residents drawn by the inexplicable excitent.
“The reason I chose this spot for the showdown is to emulate the Transcendent battle from the ‘Prelude’… the showdown between ‘Destiny Guide’ Jack and the high ranks of the Red Apple Church.”
He said to Polaris with a proud look on his face.
Su Keying was in a good position, centering the cara on Dongyang, allowing millions of players to see his expression clearly. Paired with his speech, it gave off an aura of unstoppable confidence.
“—Are you sure you don’t want to change venues? Aren’t you afraid of attracting the Shelter’s attention? If we cause too big of a commotion and get caught, it’s all over!”
Polaris sent a text, frowning.
“—No worries, this is what makes it more attractive! We’ll fight briefly and then commit suicide, quick and decisive.”
Dongyang seed to have a plan in hand.
“Polaris! You dare to steal my woman! Do you have the guts to fight!”
He voiced his question with an angry tone.
Polaris secretly rolled his eyes.
But having taken the money, he had to do the job. He put on a cold deanor and clenched his fists.
“Chenxi belongs to no one, she makes her own choices.”
As soon as these words ca out, the live stream exploded.
“Damn! Major drama!” “Didn’t expect a love triangle!” “So it’s all over the Chuxi Guild Chairman!” “What is this lodramatic love story?!” “Cut the crap and start fighting! Whoever wins gets Chenxi!”
Chenxi, the person in question, widened her eyes in shock.
Honey Polo was also very surprised.
“This… this isn’t the right script!”
Seeing the chairman’s face ready to punch soone, she knew that they had been set up.
“In a mont, these two are going to get what’s coming to them!”
Chenxi’s pretty face was tinged with frost.
Doghead Gold and Forget No Taboo were watching the drama with glee, snickering endlessly.
Bang!
A dull thud drew everyone’s attention.
Dongyang was already exchanging blows with Polaris!
Both of them stepped back a step after clashing fists.
“Let’s see how strong the path of the Destiny Faction you’ve taken really is!”
Dongyang said, and stepped forward again.
As a “Sequence Nine – Believer,” he didn’t have very obvious supernatural power effects; it was just his punches and kicks that shimred with a faint golden glow.
But that was enough to draw the attention of many players.
“Transcendents, so cool!” “Three Transcendents from the Hall of Valor all follow the Sun Faction!” “Their punches glow without even needing special effects!” “Can that solo player beat them?”
Just then.
Dongyang’s fist struck Polaris square in the chest.
Bang!!
A flash of golden light, followed by a massive forceful impact.
Logically, even a bull would have fallen after such a punch, but—
To the shock of the live audience and the onlookers present, Polaris didn’t step back a single inch!
At his chest, a layer of dark green armor-like keratin ford, easily blocking Dongyang’s heavy punch!
Then he lifted a hand.
And swiftly swung it!
During this motion, keratin layered over the back of his hand, and sharp teeth sprouted from his palm—like a crocodile’s head with its maw wide open!
Pfff—!!
A dark green shadow flashed by, and Dongyang’s body froze in place…
His head was gone.
His headless corpse dissipated into white light.
Everyone fell silent.
Seconds later.
The crowd erupted into noisy chatter, and the live stream was flooded with comnts.
“What just happened?!” “Holy shit! The Vice Chairman of the Hall of Valor was instantly killed!” “What exactly is that supernatural power? Is the gap that big?!” “I’m on the scene, sent a scout, and that Polaris is from the Destiny Faction!”
Not just the audience, but even Polaris himself was stunned in place.
“Am I… that strong?”
He murmured.
“—Polaris bro! That’s not how the script was supposed to go! Why did you kill in one hit?!”
Dongyang sent an exasperated ssage.
“—Eh, sorry.”
Polaris replied.
“Vice Chairman! You died so miserably! I must avenge you! This Polaris is no son of man, he stole your woman and then killed you in a second!”
The Horseman shouted and, taking out a Mysterious Object that was a spoon, charged forward.
This was an improvised performance he thought of on seeing the unexpected turn of events.
It wasn’t just him, Kuang Benkuang also reacted swiftly and followed with a look of sorrow and indignation.
“This is going to be a righteous two-on-one battle!”
Doghead Gold mused.
“But how co Polaris is so strong? Is the Destiny Faction really that overpowered?!”
Forget No Taboo wondered.
Bang!!
Once more, the fight on the field unfolded.
The Horseman, wielding an enlarged soup spoon, made a fierce smash, which Polaris easily dodged.
His legs had transford into antelope’s hooves, moving deftly between the Horseman and Kuang Benkuang’s combined attack, completely unhard.
The spectators even felt that Polaris was toying with them.
“Damn it, Polaris!”
The Horseman, as if being made a fool, waved his giant spoon and missed every strike.
Wuuuh—!
Polaris took a leap, avoiding another vertical strike from the spoon, and while still in midair, deactivated “Antelope Leap” and spread his right hand, transford it into “Crocodile Bite.”
With one snap, he plucked off the Horseman’s head.
And that wasn’t all.
After landing, Polaris executed “Iron Support Mountain.” His arm, covered with “Crocodile Skin” keratin, slamd into Kuang Benkuang, sending him flying several ters and crashing heavily to the ground.
Seconds later, both changed into white light and disappeared.
“Now Polaris is going to be famous… He’s too strong!”
Doghead Gold clicked his tongue.
“I think it’s Jack who’s going to be famous. Polaris is from the Destiny Faction… Don’t forget, Jack’s title is ‘Harbinger of Destiny’!”
Forget No Taboo said.
Chenxi observed from the side, her brows slightly furrowed, clearly puzzled.
As a player who had also recently advanced to “Sequence Nine,” why was he able to beat three all by himself?!
