All-Heavens Game, the Strongest Player

Chapter 136 A World of Wind and Cloud, Underworld Gameplay!
Welcome to the Multiverse Game!

"This instance map is the 'Wind and Cloud' world. There is no new player protection period, but the first round of elimination will begin three months after entering the game!"

"The elimination mode is: Faction Betting!"

"Before each round of elimination begins, the system will list two camps, and players will choose one to place a bet. The winner can continue to participate in the game, while the loser will be eliminated directly!"

"The two factions eliminated in the first round are 'Tianxia Hui' and 'Wushuang City'. Players can choose to join one of them and will be assigned a dungeon identity based on their characteristics. They can choose to place their identity in the opposing faction!"

The total number of players in this instance is 1024!

"In this instance, players can choose from five classes: Destiny Wind, Destiny Cloud, Destiny Overlord, Martial Arts Myth, and Sword Saint! However, this round of the game features a second class change, which can lead to higher-level classes such as Emperor Shitian, Qilin Demon, Full Moon Great Demon God, Ten Strong Warriors, and Martial Saint. Players are encouraged to explore the class change requirements themselves!"

Note: Higher-level professions are not necessarily stronger than basic professions!

"There are nine class levels in this game, and you level up by killing players from the opposing faction!"

Special Note: The fourth-tier dungeon is the last dungeon in the region and also the one with the most participants. Therefore, the power level range is much larger than that of the previous three tier dungeons!

Furthermore, the "class template" for this instance is far from the instance's combat power cap, so the main difficulty for players competing for instance rankings may not come from competing with other players, but from fighting against the instance's natives!

……

After reading through the rules of this game's instance, Chu Xiu couldn't help but smile, turning to look at Zhou Wushang and Ye Lingxian, who had teamed up with him.

"The way this game is played is a bit underhanded!"

Upon hearing this, both of them nodded.

Zhou Wushang said, "After players bet on one faction, they can choose to start in another faction. In this way, players of the same faction will not know who the mole is, and they will not even know if killing a player from the opposing faction will accidentally hurt their own team!"

Take the first round of elimination as an example.

Players now need to choose between "Wushuang City" and "Tianxia Hui".

However, players can choose to win the World Tour and start the game in Wushuang City, thus directly attacking the enemy's interior, which allows for a wide range of underhanded tactics.

Furthermore, the initial identity is assigned by the system based on the player's characteristics.

In theory, he could easily obtain titles such as Elder of the World Society or Grand Steward of Wushuang City. If he were a traitor, he could easily ruin the lives of players in his own faction with a little trickery!

"So, which camp should we choose?" Ye Lingxian asked.

If the original storyline were followed, the choice would definitely be the World Alliance. Even the city lord, Dugu Yifang, is a fake from the Peerless City, so there's no way they could defeat Xiong Ba.

Fengyun is also a chosen one of destiny; whoever opposes them will be doomed.

However, with players joining now, things are hard to say – Wushuang City, as a long-established and deeply rooted power, is actually stronger than Tianxia Hui on paper!
Sword Saint is stronger than Xiong Ba, and two of the three hall masters, Feng Yun Shuang, can be turned against him.

The World Society is actually all bark and no bite.

However, the destiny of the overlord who dominates the heavens is quite mysterious, and even if players join, they may not be able to defeat him!

“Let’s choose Wushuang City!” Chu Xiu said.

If no "marked players" from the other three regions join, he will choose the World Alliance because he can win without doing anything.

But with the addition of players who have the mark, things could change.

It all comes down to the game between the players.

At this point, what he needed was not to win by doing nothing, but to be able to take control—Wushuang City was the easiest force for him to control. As long as he used the Mark of the Heavens to send a few people over, he could have absolute authority.

On the contrary, with Xiong Ba in charge, the World Alliance can never become a place where players have absolute power.

As for eliminating Xiong Ba...

What value does the World Society have without Xiong Ba?
Feng Yun is full of traitors!

"What about the template?" Zhou Wushang asked Chu Xiu, "Do you choose wind or cloud?"

As for the one next to him, Ye Lingxian didn't hesitate and directly chose "Sword Saint," which was also the choice of the vast majority of players—that was the ceiling of combat power in the entire Fengyun trilogy. If it weren't for the plot-driven death, Sword Saint could have single-handedly fought his way to the end.

He easily defeated the main villain of the first movie, Xiong Ba, and the ultimate villain of the third movie, Lian Chengzhi.

Although players cannot completely replicate the Sword Saint class after choosing it, as skill, sword intent, and fighting spirit vary from person to person, the ultimate move "Sword Twenty-Three" is real.

"You can choose whatever you like, I'll just pick the other one!" Chu Xiu said.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Wushang pondered for a moment and said, "Then I'll choose 'cloud'!"

"Sure?"

“Confirmed!” Zhou Wushang said, “It’s not that I deliberately left ‘Wind’ for you! Although Nie Feng and Guan Yu share the same destiny, and it’s said that ‘Heavenly Destiny Wind’ can become a high-level ‘Martial Saint’ once he learns ‘Love of the City’, I still think ‘Heavenly Destiny Cloud’ is stronger!”

This made Chu Xiu look curious.

"How to say?"

“Bu Jingyun is always stronger than Nie Feng!” Zhou Wushang said. “The Martial Saint Guan Yu is indeed powerful, but throughout all the realms, Guan Yu can’t defeat Lü Bu. So I think that during the Three Kingdoms period, there was not only the Heavenly Mandate Wind, but also the Heavenly Mandate Cloud, which is very likely Lü Bu. I think that perhaps we can use the Heavenly Mandate Cloud to explore Lü Bu, and maybe we can even discover the peerless Lü Bu!”

These words caused Chu Xiu to reveal a strange expression.

Believe it or not, you should know!

Bu Jingyun does indeed resemble Lü Bu somewhat. According to the theory of mutual generation and restraint between wind and cloud, the Heavenly Mandate Cloud of the Three Kingdoms period could very well be Lü Bu.

In the myriad realms, even if the same person exists in different worlds, they are not without commonalities.

Zhuge Liang, who was originally from the Three Kingdoms period, becomes "God-like Zhuge Liang" after being upgraded.

If we can tap into the potential of the Destiny Cloud, we might actually be able to create the Musou Lu Bu from Dynasty Warriors, just like Zhou Wushang imagined!
"But to be honest, the skills of these two main characters are just too weak!"

Destiny Wind and Destiny Cloud are both passive characters, and when they team up with another character, they can unleash even greater power.

However, when used as a job template, its skills are among the worst of the five major jobs.

The other three classes' max-level ultimate skills are Ten Thousand Swords Return to One, Sword Twenty-Three, and Chaotic Demon Body, each one more powerful than the last, and unlocking them brings a qualitative leap in skill level.

But what about the Destiny Wind and the Destiny Cloud?
It turned out to be the "Six Secrets of Frostbite" and the "Qilin Arm"!
Yes, that's right, these two things!

The Demon Heart Crossing is gone, the Seven Qi Unity is gone, the Overlord Sword Path is gone, Nie Feng's demonic state is no longer in the skills, and Bu Jingyun's "Reversing Heaven and Earth" and the like are completely gone.

It was practically hacked to pieces!

"I think it's alright! You can practice martial arts yourself, the important thing is your destiny. Maha Boundless is their real ultimate move. But that Qilin Arm, something feels a bit strange about it?"

When Zhou Wushang spoke, he glanced at Chu Xiu's face, which was slightly flushed.

It's obvious that he's thinking of something not so proper.

"Wait until you unleash your ultimate move!" Chu Xiu said with a wicked grin.

"Screw you!"

Amidst playful banter, Chu Xiu chose the "Destiny Wind" template.

His basic skills are indeed quite poor.

The highest it can achieve is a "40-meter-long sword," which looks impressive, but it has absolutely no advantage against all kinds of divine martial arts.

However, his "Destiny Wind" is not at level nine.

There's nothing fancy about it.

The obvious level 10 ultimate skill, "Love That Captivates the City," is described as follows: [Destroying a city stretching for dozens of miles with a single strike, yet its power remains undiminished. When combined with a sworn enemy, it can unleash even greater power!]
