Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio

After Ao Jian had advanced into the hidden character class, the news was heavily discussed by the players in the forum. Who is this player? Is the hidden character class powerful?

Before long, one of the players uploaded a 10-minute video to the forum and triggered a tumult amongst the players.

In the video, a Level 4 player was seen challenging the netherworld creature at the Ghost Mountains.

The players were astonished to find the nine glowing Spiritual Swords levitating behind the Level 4 player. His style appeared to be extremely glamorous.

It was inconceivable for other gamers that a Level 4 player could effortlessly defeat the netherworld creature, which was far stronger.

He continuously changed the Spiritual Sword in his hand as he utilized his Shenfa to stealthily move around and attack the netherworld creature. Not only that, his every strike landed accurately on the netherworld creature’s vital body parts.

The video lasted for 10 minutes. The Level 4 swordsman single-handedly killed the netherworld creature with his incredible ability before he picked up the Netherworld Pearl and headed to the Ghost Mountains.

The players who had watched the video were greatly impressed by the man’s skills.

Strike_Gold: “He is the true boss! He must be the player who has successfully achieved class advancement and become the Demonic Sage of Ten Swords.”

Crayon_Shinchan: “I take my hat off to this man! He performed his skills perfectly as though he was a bot! I have scrupulously watched the video thrice. Every step he took was well-judged. Moreover, his every attack hit precisely on his enemy’s vital body parts, namely the head and throat. He is the real boss!”

A_Mammoth: “A bot-like player makes the most formidable opponent!”

God_Slayer: “After I watched the video, I have a sudden urge to replace my Greatsword with a Longsword. If I were the opponent, I would yield to his skill at my own will!”

A_Rough_Man: “Before this, I used to always wonder why berserkers would opt to use the Longsword, a light weapon, during fights. The damage of the Longsword is not as impactful as the Greatsword and Greataxe. However, after I watched the fight between Mu Jiuge, the Demolition Officer, and the bot-like player, I learned that the Longsword is the most powerful weapon, given that you are exceptionally skillful!”

Junior_Captain_Of_Demolition_Officers: “He is probably the godlike man who, according to Old Mu, was defeated thoroughly by a Level 0 unimportant player! Initially, I refused to believe it , thinking that it was merely a joke. But now, I am absolutely convinced!”

Captain_Of_Demolition_Officers: “The Demolition Guild needs mighty men like this. Join us! (Clamour till our voices crack)”

Watermelon_Taro: “The number of experts is increasing. Today, they have all risen and their eyes are fiery. Can we launch an attack at Cha Na now? My patience is wearing thin!”

Crayon_Shinchan replied to Watermelon_Taro: “Talented man, please relax! We shouldn’t act impulsively. When our team grows more mature, we’ll definitely beat Cha Na!”

Xueli_The_Strongest: “Wow! It was an outstanding play! Upon witnessing his skills, I began to admire this bot-like player deeply!”

……

Just like how it was showcased in the comment section, the swordsmanship of the bot-like player had impressed the other gamers tremendously. Apparently, his expertise was beyond the public’s belief.

Out of curiosity, Lu Wu did a little research on Ao Jian’s soul, only to find out that the strength of his soul was noticeably stronger than the other players.

In Bei Li’s opinion, the player had definitely gone through cultivation in real life and his personal ability must be sufficiently good. Otherwise, it was impossible to strengthen one’s soul to this level.

Lu Wu was astounded by Bei Li’s theory, “It’s possible for one to go through cultivation in real life?”

Similarly, Bei Li was surprised by Lu Wu’s questions, “When the underworld truly exists, why is it impossible for cultivation to be carried out in real life?”

Lu Wu replied, “If that’s true, why haven’t I met any cultivator?”

“Had you visited the underworld before this?” Bei Li asked a rhetorical question while she looked at Lu Wu as though he was an idiot.

Lu Wu was dumbstruck by Bei Li’s rather sound reply.

At this moment, Lu Wu’s mind was filled with graphics of cultivation, zombies, Taoism, Buddhism, and immortality. Nevertheless, he was an experienced man.

Bei Li stared impassively at Lu Wu who was engrossed in his fantasy.

“You don’t have to dwell on it. The underworld is at its Dharma-ending age because of the dissipation of reiki. Cultivators might exist but they are as rare as hens’ teeth and you will hardly meet one throughout your entire life.” Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.

“Then, why would a cultivator join the online game? Have they discovered something?” Lu Wu could not help but ask after a terrifying thought struck him.

Upon listening to the question, Bei Li chuckled, “Wu, you’ve underestimated the power of the artifact. The Lord King of Beiqi has invested his whole life to forge the artifact. Even if they run a thorough investigation, they will not be able to uncover the underworld. For them, this will just remain a game.”

Lu Wu heaved a sigh of relief. He was afraid that he would turn into the cultivators’ target. He would be in deep water if Kunlun, Shushan, or any other virtuous forces collaborated to arrest him for the felonies he had committed.

“Wu, it actually benefits us when a cultivator joins the game.”

“How so?”

“I’ve never told you before. You only know that the King of Beiqi forged the battle artifacts in order to conquer the underworld. However, you didn’t know that he will never antagonize a player. Instead, he may even aid the players as they develop their strength.”

“But, why!” Lu Yu was baffled.

“Because their souls have been marked by the battle artifact. If they are disloyal to the King of Beiqi, their souls will be recalled by the artifact to be exterminated! This is a crucial part of the Lord King of Beiqi’s plan to ensure that there’s no traitor under his reign!”

Lu Wu was shocked by Bei Li’s words. He did not expect the battle artifact to be this potent. Then, he recalled about his plan to put the game on the map. He was pumped up.

Lu Wu’s plan was to turn the underworld into a second world for mankind. Regardless of their age, everyone would be able to have fun in this world. Killing monsters was only one of the fun activities. That means if his plan works out…

He will rule mankind!

“Little Li, can I ask you a question?”

Curious, Bei Li lifted her gaze and asked, “What is it?”

“Can you tell me about your background?” Lu Wu took a deep breath and summoned his courage to ask the question.

It was a question that had been buried in his mind for a very long time. Not only she participated in the development of the terrifying artifact, she also gained the trust from the Old Ancestors. Besides, her ability was outstanding. That was why he had always been curious about her true identity.

“I… I was… adopted by Lord King of Beiqi,” Bei Li responded awkwardly as she played with the corner of her shirt.

Lu Wu was caught off guard by the answer. After a short while, he put on a grin on his face and reached out to ruffle her hair.

“It’s fine if you don’t want to talk about it now. I’ll patiently wait for the day when you are ready to tell me the truth.”

A hint of dejection flashed across Bei Li’s eyes, but she gave a confident nod.

“Wu, I’ll definitely tell you when it’s time! But, you have to believe me when I say that our fates are intertwined. I will never betray you even if the three worlds are against you!”

Lu Wu smiled and patted Bei Li’s tiny head again before he left the room. Then, he went to prepare a plethora of delicious dishes as a reward to the hardworking game master.
