“The champion……”


  “Che!”


  Upon hearing Wang Yu’s confident declaration, the audience immediately gave him their middle finger.

  What a shameless bunch. They only relied on trickery and deceit to obtain their position. Do they really think they are even close to the level of professional players?

  Those tricks would be easily seen through by these more experienced experts……

  Within the gaming community, the attention that the professional tournament received was quite significant. These players only unveiled their true faces during the competition.

  Furthermore, not of the players had the capital to watch the game live so some of them simply spectated the games through the stream.

  This was the clout of a celebrity……

  There was now a public arena in every main city in the game. Through the holographic mode, there was not much difference in watching the game in the public arena and watching it live.

  Soaring Dragon Game Studios would not waste such a golden opportunity to milk more money out of the game. Selling ticket to players to watch the game in the public arena also generate valuable revenue. It was also much cheaper compared to a live experience ticket.

  The players felt that since they had spent money, they had to be rewarded with a mind-blowing experience.

  Since Quan Zhen Sect had been so underhanded in their battles, other than affecting the opponent’s competition experience, they had even affected the viewing experience for the audience.

  Once the competition ended, many of them called upon Soaring Dragon Game Studios to offer a refund on the tickets.

  Soaring Dragon Game Studios could never stoop to acceding to their request because fulfilling such a request will become a precedent for any other similar issues that might occur. The reason why the competition fell into such a state was partly attributed to its format……

  The players went on the forum to disparage Quan Zhen Sect and they became public enemy number one.

  Overnight, the notoriety of Quan Zhen Sect in <> was spread far and wide.

  Even those players who were not as invested in the gaming scene came to know about Quan Zhen Sect’s vile reputation.

  The members from Quan Zhen Sect paid no attention to the commotion around them. As soon as they received their award for being the Champion Amateur Team, they headed for dinner with Old Bull.

  There were some other players at the same place for dinner and that included Purity.

  The atmosphere was extremely strange as fifty to sixty people sat together.

  Old Bull’s intentions were clear. The point of the dinner was to celebrate their victory. However, more importantly, it was an opportunity to rebuild their relationship with Purity’s team. There was no need for the previous battle to sour relations.

  Confucius once said, “Aren’t young people prone to bouts of frivolous behavior?”


  Everyone present at the dinner was a hot-blooded and passionate martial artist. They had to find a way to regain their dignity after that tragic loss in the battle arena.

  Wang Yu knew how to act with propriety but less could be said about his friends. Without the boundaries of the game, they would degenerate into a bunch of uncouth individuals.

  As long as the group of them had a meal together and talk through things, they could remain as friends in the future. They could cut any potential conflict in the bud.

  In reality, Purity, Nian Liuyun and the other members of her team came from distinguished families which had brought them up well. Even though they had taken a loss, they accepted it with grace and did not have any warped thoughts.

  Furthermore, since Wang Yu and his father made the initiative to make amendments, they could only stifle the residual grievances in their hearts.

  For the others like Thirteen Ji, they did not dare to provoke such a powerhouse like the Wang Family so she also did not make any fuss.

  After the meal, everyone shook hands and the final remaining animosity was also dispelled.

  There was a need to tread carefully because this was unlike online where the most damage keyboard warriors could do was to hurl vulgarities.

  Upon reaching the hotel, night had already fallen.

  It was also raining.

  The night time view in Lin Hai City was absolutely stunning.

  Wang Yu stood at the window, gently holding Mu Zixian’s waist. Gazing intently at the outside world through the glass windows, he was feeling very nostalgic and appreciative.

  Wang Yu had left home a year ago and it was also this season and coincidentally also raining.

  The difference was that Wang Yu at the point in time was just a canary that had just been released from its cage. He left the safe space where he did not have to worry anything about his survival. His heart was in a messy state and he felt lost.

  In this one year, Wang Yu had gone through many difficult times but he also had his fair share of positive experiences.

  Friendships, love, affection…… None of these was contradictory and Wang Yu had gained them all through his own effort.

  In particular, Mu Zixian taught Wang Yu how to survive, how to love others and taught him how to adapt to this bustling and unfamiliar world.

  Perhaps in the near future, Wang Yu would have to return home and take his place as a successor. However, these life experiences would definitely serve him well in the future.

  Birds always learn to seek the vast expanse of the skies.

  “One year went past like that!” Wang Yu softly uttered.

  “Mhm! It has been a year.” Mu Zixian smiled back at him gently, her face etched with happiness.

  There was nothing more fulfilling to see her efforts to transform a big boy who did not even know basic life skills to one that had matured in his own rights come to fruition.

  “Thank you……” Wang Yu said in a still small voice.

  “Thank you too.” Mu Zixian moved her hand closer to Wang Yu and hugged him tightly……

  I would really want to end the book here but the story has yet to end. Ending on a bad note is not my style. More importantly, I don’t want to be accused of being a quitter.

  As the rain falls, it often sets the mood for people to sleep very deeply.

  Once the sun came out, the whole world seemed to have been washed and painted anew.

  The audience that came was much more than the previous two days.

  This turnout was reasonable.

  The first two days were just amateur teams competition. Everyone could simply watch the live broadcast without spending additional money on tickets.

  The first two days were just amateur teams competition. Everyone could simply watch the live broadcast without spending additional money on tickets.

  The audience was predominantly players that were supporting the major teams. One banner after another opened up spectacularly.

  Many of them were engaging in gossip and friendly banter about the potential outcomes of the battles……

  The other fan slogans that were unveiled were also a sight to behold.

  Wang Yu and the rest of the players were taken aback by such an elaborate display.

  “Arrogant!”


  The group of Quan Zhen Sect wiped their cold sweat as they entered gingerly into the arena.

  Upon seeing the whole group of them, the audience flew into an uproar, “Quan Zhen Sect, get out of the gaming community, Team A Murder of Crows, get out of the gaming community.”


  In the beginning, there were a few people chanting but it slowly grew louder and louder until tens of thousands of people were involved in the chants.

  The scene was full of energy and vigor and this energized the players from Quan Zhen Sect as they were filled with pride.

  Fearless clenched his fists unabashedly and declared, “Thank you all for your support…… Friends, it has been tough for you.”
