The full-time master's double peak

Chapter 114 [120] All-Star (Part 3): Rookie Challenge
"It's alright, let me introduce them to you." Chen Guo pulled Tang Rou from Lin Xichen's arms to her side and began to introduce them. In fact, any Glory fan would recognize these characters. Chen Guo introduced them one by one without making any mistakes. They were all correct. Jiang Botao's Demon Swordsman Wulang, Yu Wenzhou's Warlock Soksar, Sword Saint Huang Shaotian's Swordsman Yeyu Shengfan, Zhang Xinjie's Priest Shi Buzhuan, Li Xuan's Ghost Swordsman Fengshan Guiqi, and Magician Wang Jiexi's Witch Wang Buliuxing. Almost anyone who plays Glory would recognize these characters. Those who were selected as the 24 All-Stars were the 24 most popular players. The only ones who wouldn't recognize them were probably newbies like Tang Rou and Baozi Invasion who never followed professional players.

Zhou Zekai's character was always floating in the center position. As the main stage of Samsara, Samsara naturally had many fans. The screams from the fans gradually subsided when the 20th character was projected.

After the 24th character's projection, these characters began to move, showcasing their common skills like sprinting and jumping. Then came the skills of each class. One character, "One Shot Through the Clouds," turned and pulled out a sniper rifle, followed by a level 70 ultimate skill, Barrett Sniper, which was fired towards the audience. The bullet exploded into a sky full of colorful light and shadow, a truly beautiful sight. Suddenly, a whoosh rang out, and streaks of sword light appeared. It was Night Rain Demon demonstrating the swordsman's level 70 ultimate skill, Phantom Sword! Immediately following was a shower of purple raindrops falling from the sky. A magic circle was flashing in the air, and Soksar raised his weapon, Curse of the Gods, and unleashed the warlock's level 70 ultimate skill, Rain of Chaos.

A beam of light descended from the sky above the Rain of Chaos, followed by six smaller beams of light that began to rotate around the central beam. These were the satellite rays released by Mu Yu Cheng Feng. Before the beams of light dissipated, a magic circle appeared, and the sky was instantly covered with dark clouds while the ground began to burn. Feng Cheng Yan Yu was releasing the level 70 skill, Heavenly Thunder and Earthly Fire.

A tiger's roar suddenly echoed from within the magic array of thunder and fire, followed by a flurry of tiger-headed fist shadows. This was the Fierce Tiger Dance unleashed by Desert Lone Smoke. Amidst the fist shadows and tiger roars, a high-pitched dragon's cry rang out, and a giant dragon soared past before exploding into light and shadow, slowly descending. This was the Battle Mage's level 70 skill, Dragon Soaring to the Sky. On the dragon's head, a figure rode a broom and flew past. It was Wang Bu Liu Xing. It didn't demonstrate any skills, but merely made a flying appearance.

Each character had their skills showcased except for Wang Buluoxing. It wasn't that they were being treated differently; the level 70 skills of the Magician weren't particularly impressive, especially since he also played a dragon knight.

After the skill demonstration ended and all the lights went out, the figure of Yi Qiang Chuan Yun suddenly lit up and leaped straight into the sky. One by one, the characters below lit up and also flew into the air. The 24 characters soared into the sky, collided and exploded in the air, turning into a sky full of starlight that fell down. It has to be said that the event planned by Samsara was really good, and the on-site effect was very explosive.

Amidst a sky full of stars, the host walked onto the stage and loudly announced: "The 6th Glory All-Star Weekend has begun!"

The emcee then expressed sincere gratitude to Lin Xichen's company for providing holographic projection technology support, followed by some advertising sponsorships that the audience did not want to see.

Ye Xiu looked at the holographic projection but then turned to Lin Xichen: "Xiao Chen, if I remember correctly, the company the emcee mentioned supporting the holographic projection is yours, right?"

"Yes, that's right." Lin Xichen nodded without hiding anything; there was no need for her to conceal it at all.

"Oh." Ye Xiu responded with an "oh" and fell into deep thought. He was very familiar with the All-Star event's procedures. Next up was the Rookie Challenge. The Rookie Challenge didn't require selection; any professional player registered for less than two years could participate and be paired with a non-rookie player with more than two years of experience for a 1v1 battle. The characters used by both sides were provided by the organizers to be balanced in strength. If they used their own accounts, the difference would be huge, because a rookie's account could never compare to a veteran player's account. If they challenged a god-level player, their silver armor would make the rookie weep. So this decision was made to take care of the rookies and also to ensure fairness.

The first rookie to take the stage was from the Thunder team, named Dai Yanqi. She was a girl, and the applause from the audience was neither enthusiastic nor lukewarm, simply because she was a female player, and the audience tends to be more considerate of female players.

Dai Yanqi, showing no stage fright whatsoever, waved to the audience and bowed before announcing her challenge: Chu Yunxiu. "Sister Chu is a heroine among women. I've always admired her, and I hope to take this opportunity to compete against her and receive her guidance," Dai Yanqi explained, her reason for the challenge brimming with respect. This was a classic case of a junior challenging a respected senior, hoping to gain guidance and instruction from her idol.

Chu Yunxiu rose from her seat at the Misty Rain team and walked onto the stage. In the Rookie Challenge, challengers cannot refuse a challenge, even if they are challenged multiple times or consecutively. The unfortunate one at the All-Star Weekend was Ye Qiu, now called Ye Xiu, who was challenged seven times in a row. There were only seven rookies who signed up for that All-Star Weekend, and they ran out of reasons for their challenges in the end, only able to use "same reason as above" instead. Ye Xiu also set a record for the most challenges, making him the undisputed champion.

The two sat on opposite sides of the arena. As their characters logged in, the lights dimmed again, and the holographic projection in the arena began to build a map. Once the map was completed, the characters were also projected into it. Ye Xiu was surprised; his prediction had come true.

He knew that Honor's development had entered a new era, a major technological leap that would propel Honor to new heights.

The challenger chose the map, and Dai Yanqi opted for a flat, open map instead of a complex one. After loading the map and exchanging greetings in the chat box, the battle began. The audience, comparing the holographic projection with the electronic screen, discovered that the holographic projection and the electronic screen were synchronized and began watching the battle with great interest.

In the end, Chu Yunxiu won the victory quite normally, and the audience applauded. However, both Chu Yunxiu and Dai Yanqi knew that the applause was for the brand-new holographic projection technology, not for them.

Then the lights came back on, and the emcee announced the second challenger to come on stage: Gao Yingjie from Team Tiny Herb.

The thunderous applause was like reaching for the moon in the sky and capturing a turtle in the ocean. This time, the applause was truly for Gao Yingjie. His reputation as a genius was already well-known to his fans. He was the designated successor to Wang Buluoxing. The audience was looking forward to it because Gao Yingjie's reputation as a genius had been legendary for a long time, but he had never officially appeared. The audience was very much looking forward to seeing how this genius would perform.

Gao Yingjie also needed to go on stage and say a few words, at least to say who he was challenging. The boy had a rather handsome face, but he was somewhat introverted and didn't dare to speak loudly in public. He walked stiffly onto the stage, raised his hand and quickly said, "Hello everyone, my name is Gao Yingjie." But the last three words, "Gao Yingjie," were so soft that he himself couldn't hear them. The members of Tiny Herb in the audience all shook their heads. Based on his personality, this boy definitely wouldn't sign up for this challenge. It was Wang Jiexi who signed him up. This boy still needs a lot of training.

"I'm going to challenge our Tiny Herb's captain, Wang Jiexi." His voice was very soft, even with a microphone, but at least the three words "Wang Jiexi" were clearly pronounced. The emcee reminded him to speak louder several times in his earpiece, but it didn't work. The emcee couldn't get angry, so he could only pinch his thigh to force a smile and announce Gao Yingjie's challenger, Wang Jiexi.

Wang Jiexi went on stage as soon as the emcee started speaking, clearly there to save the day for Gao Yingjie. After a few words, the audience applauded generously. Wang Jiexi's words demonstrated his masterful style and commanded the stage.

Both sides received account cards provided by the organizers and allocated skill points during the holographic projection map construction time. Gao Yingjie meticulously allocated skill points to his preferred skill levels, while Wang Jiexi…
