"Let's go with the Shinjuku battlefield, a classic map that you can't miss."

As Xia Jie spoke, she looked at the deer for her opinion.

A duel should be fair only if both sides are satisfied.

"Whatever, do as you please."

Lu Ziyun waved her hand dismissively. As a seasoned veteran, she could easily defeat a newcomer who had just entered the metaverse.

There was no reason why she would lose, and it was impossible for her to even take it seriously.

In short, this is the teaching bureau.

She's guaranteed to win.

The scene has been determined. Entering the arena marks the start of the duel. Countdown: 3...

2……

1……

"0"

In the blink of an eye, the world has changed.

Before Xia Jie's eyes appeared a pristine white wall. The deer was nowhere to be seen, but a violent, lightning-like aura of magical power was emanating from the opposite side of the wall.

Clearly, the two were teleported to the same building by the network's arrangement, and were only separated by a wall.

Yes, it's physical transfer, not entry of consciousness.

The virtual duel, though virtual, actually involves the physical body arriving at a real location, and then being healed and resurrected by the network after the duel.

Now that the enemy is in the open while we are in the dark, it's a perfect opportunity for a sneak attack. But both Xia Jie and Xiao Lu prefer direct confrontation, so...

"Here is wasabi!"

Xia Jie made no attempt to hide her presence, activating her magical power to unleash her aura and reveal her location to the little deer.

Boom! Boom!

The next instant, the wall, like weathered and brittle plastic, was easily pierced and shattered by the electric-infused stick.

The stick continued its momentum, aimed directly at Xia Jie's face!

The electric light magnified rapidly in her pupils, but Xia Jie seemed unable to react and remained standing still without moving.

Meanwhile, the live stream chat was already flooded with comments.

<Wasabi VS Lu Ziyunyi? Haha, both sides are cosplayers!>

"Wasabi, you absolutely have to win! Don't embarrass the Heavenly Lord of the Realms!"

<Request a song, Rain Loves DJ version~>

Go for it, Miss Electric Baton!

"Wow, that's fast! Does that mean Lu Ziyun is going to win?"

<For someone completely unfamiliar with this, can anyone tell me what happened on December 24, 2018, at 35 degrees 41 minutes North latitude and 139 degrees 42 minutes Tokyo time, in the battlefield filled with cursed spirit ruins, during the strongest clash of forces?>

<I can't do anything with you, sit tight...>

The battle had only just begun, and the basic version of the live broadcast space in the online duel zone was already filled with consciousness projections.

Eighty percent of them are human, one and a half percent are humanoids, and the remaining half percent are various strange and intelligent life forms.

The massive population base creates an equally massive audience of onlookers and bloodthirsty viewers.

It can be said that as long as there is excitement to be had, a large number of spectators who enjoy watching the drama will appear, no matter when or where.

To ensure that viewers of varying skill levels can clearly see the battle, each spectator can adjust their personal time flow according to their own skill level for the best viewing experience.

Strong players who find the battle too slow can apply a time-slowing buff to themselves, making the seemingly agonizingly slow battles more exciting.

Casual players who can't keep up will activate high-speed time acceleration based on their own strength as casual players, so that their thinking can keep up with the pace of the battle.

In the live broadcast, a semi-transparent, all-around, spherical barrier of magical energy appeared in front of Xia Jie, deflecting the force of the Ruyi Staff.

While it might seem cool to dodge a blow by the slightest margin, doing so could easily backfire if the opponent is highly skilled and their hand is unknown.

With so many people watching the live stream, Xia Jie didn't want to be the one to lose and fall flat on her face.

The citizens of the metaverse have never stopped exploring the power system. Xia Jie does not believe that after so many years, the combat power of sorcerers can still be limited by spells and the total amount of sorcery power.

Therefore, he would proceed with caution until the situation became clear.

"You defended against it? Not bad at all."

Across from the huge hole in the wall, the little deer retrieved its magic staff, its magical power contained yet not unleashed, its aura like a venomous snake poised to strike.

"It was just a test; it wasn't anything special."

Xia Jie smiled as she maintained the modified Falling Flowers Barrier. Before she could finish speaking, Lu Ziyunyi, who was on the other side of the hole, disappeared from the spot amidst flashes of lightning.

Boom boom boom!

A violent gust of wind struck from behind, and the Ruyi Jingu Bang, which broke the sound barrier, aimed directly at Xia Jie's vulnerable back of the head.

"Huh? Interesting."

Faced with this fierce attack, Xia Jie's eyes lit up. Instead of dodging the attack from behind, she concentrated the power of Falling Flower Sentiment on the right front of her body.

boom! ! !

The next instant, lightning flashed!

The attack from behind vanished like a phantom, while on the right front, the real Ruyi Cudgel, wrapped in blazing lightning, collided violently with the Falling Flowers, creating a brief vacuum at the point of impact.

Before the pungent smell of ozone from the ionized air could spread along with the blast wave, the deer's brief appearance vanished again, accompanied by the bright blue electric arcs that pierced the air from its body.

<Heh heh, using lightning-attribute magical power to manipulate electromagnetic forces, and then using advanced magical programs to influence the environment, creating the illusion of an attack to deceive the enemy? Little Deer, you're being despicable right now!>

<I'm a 200+ year old internet user beating a 0-year-old newbie! This is an old man teasing a kid [laughing.jpg]>

Is it an old man playing with a young child?

<Gan, with over 200 years of online experience and still can't take down the opponent in a second? Do you even know how to play?! You have ten seconds to defeat him, or you'll be officially crowned a "prisoner" and sent to a bar for your next life.>

<At first glance, Ding Zhen's power was identified as a cursed version of electric current propulsion. This was a complete stomp; I can't even imagine how the opponent could have won.>

The live stream was bustling with activity, and the battle was equally fierce outside the live stream.

With a flicker of their figures, fists and staffs clashed repeatedly, the air between them tearing and healing like a wound.

And this was only 5 seconds into the battle.

"Hey, you, aren't you going to reveal the technique in exchange for some enhancement?"

Xia Jie ducked to avoid the sweeping blow of the Ruyi Cudgel, then twisted her wrist in an extremely awkward posture to exchange a punch with Xiao Lu.

While expelling the external charge, ignoring the numbness in his fist, he used the recoil from the punch to quickly retreat, smashing through the French windows and leaping out from the 35th floor.

Lu Ziyun followed closely, leaping out of the building as well. She pulled back the iron bar and aimed it at Xia Jie like a javelin, then threw it out.

"Hmph, very well. My spell is called Illusionary Beast Amber, and its effect is..."

Xiao Lu spoke incredibly fast, compressing the lengthy explanation of the technique into just two seconds.

Xia Jie, who was protected below, crashed heavily to the ground under the impact of the Ruyi Staff, kicking up a cloud of dust.

The sky seems ever farther away, and the earth ever higher; what can be done?

Man! What can I say?

Eight seconds later, Xia Jie stood up from the smoke and dust. Xiao Lu raised her hand to recall the Ruyi Cudgel, frowned, and said:

"Xiao Jie, where is your technique? Show it to me quickly."

"I remember your psychological gender is female, so why do you keep saying 'old man, old man'?"

Xia Jie, who was born without any magical abilities, spoke of Gu Xiaolu.

"I learned it from my mom."

The little deer raised its magic staff, pointing it directly at Xia Jie:

"Don't change the subject, where's your technique?"

At this point, 13 seconds of the battle have passed, and the original 30-second limit is almost halfway over.

The little deer was getting a little impatient.

"No, if I had to say, love is my magic."

"Noble, pure, and selfless love, as well as twisted, base, and ugly love, all reside within my heart."

"Love is the universe."

Love is omnipotent.

Xia Jie shrugged and said that the Love Curse Power System he developed did not have the concept of innate spells at all.

Love itself is an all-powerful ideal, and constructing a formula for it is completely superfluous.

He is the very source of love, the very foundation of affection and bonds. With love, even the theory of lifespan can be easily defeated; why add further, limited-function spells?

"Huh? Are you kidding me?!"

Eighteen seconds into the duel, feeling tricked, Lu Ziyun decided to go all out.

She's getting serious!
