Chapter 1215: Chapter 1215: Star Sea (20)
In the dormitory of the academy, Wang Chen stretched his body, executing an exceptionally intricate move.
His arms, hands, legs, and feet twisted and bent effortlessly, as if molded from dough—sotis standing on one leg like a golden rooster, sotis sitting cross-legged on the floor, constantly shifting positions.
At this mont, Wang Chen was wearing only a pair of shorts. His muscles bulged visibly, supporting his lightly bronzed skin, which glead with sweat pouring like torrents.
If soone were to asure his temperature with a thermoter right now, they’d be shocked to find that Wang Chen’s body temperature far exceeded the limits a human can endure.
A mist hovered above his head, and the speed at which his body lost moisture was nothing short of horrifying!
The next mont, Wang Chen’s entire body trembled, his hands and feet returning to their original positions, while dense popping sounds erupted from inside him—as if beans were being stir-fried.
A total of 206 pops!
Wang Chen took a deep, long breath and exhaled in a steady stream of white vapor.
The vapor shot straight toward the wall in front of him like an arrow, silently dispersing afterward.
A sharp glint flashed abruptly in Wang Chen’s eyes.
His Heavenly Dragon Vajra thod had broken through the second tier, Jade Bone Realm, elevating his physique to the next level!
Casually grabbing the energy drink placed by his side, Wang Chen downed it in one gulp.
Feeling entirely refreshed!
After a satisfying hot shower to wash off the gri and sweat, he lay on his bed and logged into the Star Sea Network.
In the blink of an eye, Wang Chen arrived at the Starry Seas Arena.
ID: Jurou Hill Sword God, Record: 1157 Wins, 810 Losses, 45 Draws, Tier: Gold.
When he first ventured into the Starry Seas Arena, the account he inherited carried a record of 128 Wins and 784 Losses.
Bronze Tier.
Within a month, Wang Chen, equipped with his new ID, gained over 1,000 victories—not only earning more than a million Star Currency but also amassing abundant virtual combat experience.
He even managed to improve his spiritual power considerably.
At present, Wang Chen’s Spiritual Energy level had reached the tier of Second Ring, with prospects of breaking into the Third Ring before heading to the Imperial First Military Academy!
The Star Sea Network and Starry Seas Arena had beco his ideal training ground for honing his spiritual energy.
To prevent his arena tier from advancing too quickly, Wang Chen had deliberately thrown multiple matches, breaking his winning streak. This allowed him to rake in easy money while stomping on weaker opponents in lower-tier zones.
Even so, he still managed to climb to the Gold Tier.
Wang Chen skillfully submitted his wager-based duel application to the arena, letting the system handle his match pairing.
The Star Sea Network completed his matchmaking almost instantly.
Wang Chen appeared in a dense rainforest environnt.
He couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow.
The Star Sea Network was incomparably powerful, offering hyper-realistic virtual environnts. The rainforest setting was rendered so perfectly that Wang Chen could feel the rich humidity in the air and sll the earthy aroma of soil and vegetation.
His opponent had also entered the sa scenario at the sa ti.
However, they had yet to encounter each other directly.
Wang Chen didn’t particularly like such complex environnts—not because they restricted his combat ability but because searching for his opponent consud valuable ti, thereby slowing down his money-making pace.
These days, Wang Chen fought dozens of matches daily in the Starry Seas Arena, each with the maximum wager of 1,000 Star Currency.
He was a man who earned tens of thousands in a single day!
But there was no helping it; wager-based challenges ca with more demanding conditions, testing participants’ comprehensive combat ability, so quick and decisive matches were not commonplace.
Wang Chen slightly lowered his eyelids, his ears silently twitching as he attentively listened to sounds from all directions.
Although his real-life physique couldn’t transfer into the virtual Starry Seas Arena, a player’s spiritual power greatly enhanced their sensory abilities within the virtual environnt.
This sensory enhancent encompassed vision, touch, sll, hearing, and intuition!
Wang Chen believed the purpose of the Starry Seas Arena wasn’t solely to advance combat skills for the Empire’s citizens.
As Wang Chen imrsed himself in a state of heightened perception, a faint and nearly imperceptible sound of breathing reached his ears.
Kill!
Without the slightest hesitation, Wang Chen lunged toward the 10 o’clock direction, crashing into a thicket, disregarding the whipping vines and branches that struck him. With a decisive sweep, he drew his longsword.
In less than the blink of an eye, he locked onto his opponent.
The opponent clearly hadn’t anticipated being detected despite their stealthy hiding spot, and their mind instantaneously unraveled.
The next mont, an icy, dazzling beam of Sword Light filled the opponent’s vision.
Slash!
The sword struck, blood erupted, and the figure fell lifeless!
A cold electronic voice followed: “ID: LY297483 Victorious.”
“凸(艹皿艹)!”
“La!”
“If you’re this bad, don’t bother handing over free wins!”
“Sword God is incredibleー～”
Among the thousands of spectators watching the match, so shook their heads in frustration, others cursed loudly, so cheered with exhilaration, and others laughed heartily as virtual comnts flooded the screen.
Over the past month, Wang Chen had been farming low-tier matches and annihilating weaker opponents in the Starry Seas Arena. Despite intentionally breaking his winning streak several tis, he had amassed an impressive record.
The fan base for his new ID, “Jurou Hill Sword God,” grew from 0 to over 50,000!
While this number paled in comparison to the Arena’s celebrities and star players, the fans Wang Chen earned, climbing from Bronze to Gold purely based on performance without any promotional efforts, were undeniably genuine.
As a result, every ti Wang Chen logged in, a group of fans would inevitably rush to spectate his matches.
However, this particular fight ended too quickly, causing spectators to feel disgruntled and view his opponent as disappointingly weak. Many weren’t satisfied.
Yet for so, their admiration for Wang Chen deepened even further.
Because Wang Chen’s prowess had visibly improved!
When they attempted to contact Wang Chen, they discovered he still refused to receive any ssages, leaving them completely unable to reach him.
They could only feel helpless.
Initially, Wang Chen had enabled the option to receive ssages from strangers.
But after winning a hundred matches, he was inundated with spam—pleas for advice, insults, offers to collaborate, and even virtual rendezvous invitations.
Fed up, Wang Chen decisively disabled the feature to avoid wasting his valuable ti on junk ssages.
His primary goals in the Starry Seas Arena were to accumulate Star Currency and train his spiritual power, not to make friends or flirt!
With his victory secured, 1,000 Star Currency was automatically transferred to Wang Chen’s account.
He submitted an application for another wager-based duel.
The long night had only just begun!
However, as Wang Chen’s application was processed, an eye-catching notification suddenly popped up.
“ID: GR003889 issues a direct challenge with tenfold stakes. Do you accept?”
Wang Chen’s eyes lit up instantly—an exciting opportunity!
