Chapter 346: Chapter 335 I Hit Myself! (1st Update) Chapter 346: Chapter 335 I Hit Myself! (1st Update) “The most troubleso part of the Black Ash Knight has co; the creatures he summons can replicate the data and… combat abilities of all the players present. If they’re not cleared out quickly, the risk of the entire team being wiped will rapidly increase.”
Comntary from the frontline reporter reverberated throughout the stands, but the audience had no concept of these Black Ash creatures’ combat strength, which included the boss of Supre Overlord.
“I don’t understand what the developers at Holy Spirit are trying to do.”
The boss of Supre Overlord returned to his backstage seat and sat down. In this area, there were also the planners behind the holographic screens, representatives sent by various ga developers, and so officials.
Yin Zong had just left this area in a hurry and caught the attention of the boss of Supre Overlord, and from here one could clearly see the changes on the stage.
“Summoning so many well-known players at once, it’s practically an all-star lineup. What the audience wants to see is a confrontation between these players! Now the Holy Spirit officials are having them fight boring computers? Are they complaining about too much hype?”
The boss of Supre Overlord still acknowledged Yin Zong’s ability to handle tasks and even feared it sowhat… In just four days, he’d gathered an all-star lineup for Holy Spirit, and the temperature would skyrocket just by looking at the list of participants.
Yet, the history of VR MMORPG competitions showed that the audience found no interest in watching professional players fight monsters in the ga; no one cared to see their favorite player challenge a computer programd from the start, even if it was set to an insanely difficult level.
“Is that so? Your ace player is getting beaten up by a ‘boring’ computer.”
Bubbles was also one of the onlookers. Although he hadn’t personally experienced the terror of the Black Ash Knight, he had been through the horror of the Magic Thief raid. Bubbles knew that the lord-level monster AI in Holy Spirit was no joke!
“Feng Yi? Why is that kid on the field?” Reminded by Bubbles, the boss of Supre Overlord realized that one of the IDs on the battle stage bore the na ‘Fengshui Huizhuan’.
The live stream focused a tight shot on Feng Yi’s avatar, who was currently struggling to defend against his own Black Ash creation and even got suppressed in a short ti.
The viewers in the live stream chat had recognized Feng Yi’s real identity, and a bunch of ‘question marks’ appeared on the screen all at once.
‘? Little Feng is playing Holy Spirit too, but how is he getting suppressed by a computer?’
‘I’m starting to believe this computer’s AI is on par with Beta Dogs; the timing, the initiative, the timing for pressure, absolutely professional level! How is this kind of AI even created?’
‘Even Fiery Fla Burning Step can be countered by a mob? What the hell is this fight?’
‘I hereby declare that today marks the rise of artificial intelligence.’
“What is Feng Yi doing? He’s getting so flustered fighting a computer?” It was evident that the boss of Supre Overlord had no ga sense whatsoever, a complete layman, and thus he couldn’t see the intricacies of the combat between the two.
It was clear that Feng Yi’s Black Ash creation had the sa level of skill as Feng Yi, but its ntality was even calr… This was why, even with equal stats and without the enhancent of healer skills, it could beat Feng Yi at every turn.
Inwardly, Feng Yi was harboring difficulties he couldn’t voice. He was the kind of player who perford better with a winning mindset, so when the Black Ash creature appeared in front of him, Feng Yi had carelessly thought ‘it’s just a computer’ and fought half-heartedly.
And then… he got casually beaten up by the computer’s AI in return.
Feng Yi had never encountered such a frustrating situation in the arena; it seed like whatever move he planned to make, the opponent could anticipate it. Even his awakening got interrupted by the Black Ash creature.
Chance!
After defending for more than a minute, Feng Yi’s Black Ash creature finally showed an opening. Just as Feng Yi was about to launch a counterattack… his Black Ash creature’s waist was kicked by Zhao Mingwei, who had appeared out of nowhere.
“Feng Yi, you go and take down Qi Junzi’s Black Ash creature,” Zhao Mingwei shouted at him after kicking Feng Yi’s Black Ash creature away.
“Damn it! That was the monster I was targeting! What are you ddling for?”
Seeing Zhao Mingwei suddenly erge and snatch his prey, Feng Yi instantly went into frenzy mode, not to ntion the next second when Zhao Mingwei seized an opportunity and sent the Black Ash creature that had been pressuring him into mid-air. Amidst the roaring of dragons and tigers, Feng Yi’s Black Ash creature was reduced to half health by a combination of moves from Zhao Mingwei.
“Follow the commands, now’s not the ti to act rashly. Qi Junzi’s Black Ash creature shouldn’t be a problem for you,” Zhao Mingwei quickly leaped back to dodge the counterattack from Feng Yi’s Black Ash creature and turned to shout back at him.
Feng Yi was taken aback for a mont as he glanced back at the chaotic situation on the battlefield. When Core Dynamics first clashed with the Black Ash Knight, the knight could only conjure up so black shadow legions and was completely incapable of duplicating the players’ abilities.
But this ti, the strength of the Black Ash Knight had increased… increased to a terrifying level. Therefore, it brought great chaos to the strategy team, and seven non-professional players had died at the hands of their own Black Ash creations.
Mo Shigui, acting as the overall commander, quickly made adjustnts, alternating the slaying of those Black Ash creations based on the professional counters and technical strengths and weaknesses of every player in the strategy team.
With Feng Yi’s current skills, he could eliminate the majority of the veteran professional players in a short amount of ti. As for Zhao Mingwei… he… countered everyone!
When Feng Yi arrived in front of the Black Ash creation of the current team captain of Reign Supre, Qi Junzi, Zhao Mingwei had already killed his Black Ash creation with a point-blank Psionic Cannon.
“In less than two minutes, Old Laughing has taken down his own Black Ash creation and then quickly succeeded in killing Fengshui Huizhuan’s Black Ash creation. This man has shown all the viewers with his power that the old captain is still your captain! He’s now heading towards Caral, the fanatic Cola player, who is one of the strongest players in the active Strife League! Does Old Laughing intend to challenge the current myth in this manner?”
The front-line reporter’s comntary might be second-rate, but her ability to capture hot topics is top-notch. Zhao Mingwei’s active performance on the battlefield is definitely what all the viewers are most concerned about. Driven by Zhao Mingwei’s popularity, the entire audience was like finding their ho team scoring a goal in the World Cup… sitting and cheering was no longer enough to vent their excitent. What they needed to do was to stand up and cheer!
The heat in the live broadcast room also skyrocketed to 15 million at this mont!
“Old Laughing, you just took down your own Black Ash creation?” Caral noticed Zhao Mingwei running over. The way he fought his Black Ash creation wasn’t as disheveled as Feng Yi. Caral and his Black Ash creation were exchanging blow for blow.
Moreover, he had the buffs of healers and buffers on him, but to completely kill his own Black Ash creation was still very tricky for Caral.
“You take this long to fight yourself?” Zhao Mingwei retorted.
“Damn it! Monster!”
Caral crouched slightly and released a Moonlight Draw Sword Slash. The Black Ash creation did the sa, unleashing a Draw Sword Slash. The quadruple moonlight collided in mid-air, but after the collision and dissipation between the moonlights, Caral’s Black Ash creation was thrown over by Zhao Mingwei.
The Draw Sword Slash had an immobilizing after-swing when sheathing the sword, a flaw Caral was aware of, hence creating an opportunity for Zhao Mingwei, who seized it. But instead of taking down Caral’s Black Ash creation himself, he let Caral do it.
This move is commonly known as feeding, a collaboration that only happens during sparring sessions.
Caral certainly didn’t waste the opportunity given by Zhao Mingwei. With the Moonlight Sword in a reverse grip, he executed a clean Breaking Army Slash combined with a set of Flowing Heart Sword Technique to instantly kill his own Black Ash creation.
The bodies of the Black Ash creations didn’t disappear after being killed but accumulated on the playing field. To avoid the embarrassing situation of being tripped by corpses, Zhao Mingwei threw all the killed Black Ash creations to one spot and piled them up.
“I’m going to help the others!” Zhao Mingwei waved to Caral and charged towards another player struggling with a Black Ash creation.
The rampage of the Black Ash creations lasted less than ten minutes, with twelve players sacrificed and all the Black Ash creations were killed through Zhao Mingwei’s active involvent on the battlefield.
Just then… space fissures suddenly appeared on the playing field, and the reinforcents of the Magic Thief started to slowly erge from the spatial cracks.
The Magic Thief des and his cohorts had long known about the Black Ash Knight’s ability; it didn’t differentiate between friend and foe. They only chose to enter the battlefield after confirming that the Holy Spirits had killed the first wave of Black Ash creations.
Presumably… the Holy Spirits were now heavily wounded by their own Black Ash copies!
Now they were intervening in the battlefield to deal a Critical Strike to this group of Holy Spirits.
But just as this thought surfaced in the Magic Thief des’ mind, what appeared before him wasn’t the Holy Spirit squad busy casting Resurrection Technique, but a… pile of corpses three ters high.
This pile was composed of fifty-three Black Ash creations, and the Magic Thief des was stunned. At that mont, he suddenly looked up above the pile of bodies.
A figure sowhat familiar to the Magic Thief des was sitting atop this pile of corpses.
“Hello there.”
Zhao Mingwei sat on top of the bodies of nearly half of the professional gods from the Huaguo professional esports scene, smiling and waving at the Magic Thieves who had just arrived on the battlefield.
