Upon hearing the System Announcement, Lufeng and the others had just finished their first round of bears. The image of the Demon Hunter rolled through Lufeng's mind; this seemingly fragile woman possessed such immense power that it left Lufeng in awe. Everyone suppressed their urge to watch the real-life Duel and continued into the bamboo forest to start the second round of bear hunting!
This time, as they passed by the Red Bear King, Lufeng was more cautious, avoiding aggro from the Red Bear King. They quickly dispatched the small bears, getting closer to completing the Bloodlust Divine Weapon quest with each kill.
Now, Lufeng and the others had already defeated over 400 monsters. Five runs yielded 315, and five rounds of bears brought them to 405. After finishing five rounds of bandits, they would reach over 700 monsters. They only needed to go to the Feed Factory to hunt half a dozen small stone monsters, and everyone could complete the Bloodlust Divine Weapon quest. This was all part of Lufeng's plan to forge a powerful artifact as quickly as possible, enhancing the overall strength of the team so they could progress further.
Abandoning this Duel was indeed a wise choice; not attending showcased Lufeng and the others' pursuit of strength. They were not swayed by the excitement around them. For Lufeng, rather than idolizing others, it was better to have others admire him. However, this path would undoubtedly be challenging. Everyone had been pushed to a dead end by Night Wolf, leaving Myth Studio to forge their own paths to greatness, which naturally required greater effort.
Seeing everyone diligently eliminating bears brought great satisfaction to Lufeng, who felt no need for motivational speeches. However, what Lufeng did not realize was that everyone understood their purpose. Witnessing Lufeng work hard for the studio and elevate everyone's abilities motivated even Gao Chao not to slack off. Their food and lodging were all provided by Wang Xiaojing, who belonged to Lufeng. Thus, hunting in the Dungeon took on a deeper significance; entering Asking Heaven felt like a mission, and everyone treated it as a career!
Efficiency was key in hunting in the Dungeon. In simple terms, it meant continuously shortening time spent. To reduce time, one could not slack off; teaming up with others often led to inefficiency due to players who did not contribute fully. A dungeon that could be cleared in five minutes might stretch to ten if players did not use their skills effectively. Currently, gold coins in Asking Heaven held significant value—one gold coin equated to one dollar. As long as they had strength, they could access better dungeons faster, leading to more loot drops. Opening a shop to sell these items could yield substantial profits; all of this was part of Lufeng's plan.
For others, grinding monsters might become tedious; however, for Lufeng and Wang Xiaojing, every skill used increased their proficiency in Bursting Qi. Only by continuously using the Vital Energy Control Technique could they release skills more rapidly. For future instant-cast skills, Lufeng worked tirelessly, constantly employing the technique and inspiring others like Gao Chao.
Now, every time Lufeng used an amplification skill with a 100% increase in hit rate, when he amplified once, all teammates’ skills landed on that monster. The efficiency was evident; typically within five seconds he could amplify again and eliminate one monster. This skill without cooldown made Lufeng feel less frustrated than before. In free mode, players released skills based on energy consumption and proficiency in Bursting Qi, which influenced release speed. The energy required for skill release remained constant; by continually improving proficiency (to 10,000 points), skills could be released instantly without energy constraints.
Each skill consumed different amounts of energy; thus, the speed at which Lufeng released each skill varied. Compared to his current carefree skills, he naturally chose [Stream Mountain Journey] for its significant amplification effect—doubling damage allowed for much higher output from teammates like Gao Chao. Originally dealing around 2000 damage per hit, after amplification it soared between 4000 and 8000—a speed increase of fifty percent!
Soon after, Lufeng completed another round of bear hunting: 80 ordinary bears and one Red Bear King. After finishing up, he returned to the Suzhou Escort Agency, submitted his quest, and continued into the bamboo forest for a third round of pest control.
After some time spent grinding, the first championship match of the Martial Arts Tournament began. This meant that last time against the Bear King, it took only over four minutes—a speed that astonished even Lufeng. Ignoring the championship match's duel, they continued hunting bears.
Once the duel between the Demon Hunter and Scorpion Tail Needle officially commenced, both were teleported to a private duel arena. The championship arena was vast enough to accommodate millions of spectators outside watching live. It featured various amenities for competitors; similar to NPC arenas, it had large screens on all four sides so distant viewers could see what was happening in real-time.
As soon as the duel began, countless players flooded into the stands to watch. These stands were fixed positions where movement was restricted once entered; spectators could see other players as well as the arena itself.
"Oh~~~~ Oh~~~~ Go Demon Hunter!!!"
Countless cheers inspired the players, but as soon as the match began, Scorpion Tail entered stealth mode. After using Golden Cicada Leaves Its Shell, it did not reveal itself for two full minutes, leaving many players feeling anxious.
Demon Hunter maintained a serious expression, showing no signs of relaxation. It was impossible to stay still now that Roar was unavailable; the carefree hunter had to keep moving to avoid Scorpion Tail's Eagle Strike and immobilization. Both were Skill Mode players, and skills had cooldowns. Tianshan's usual tactic was to go into stealth and wait for the opponent to let their guard down before using 【Iron Chain Across the River】 to immobilize them, followed by a series of skills. A slightly less skilled player could easily be taken out in an instant.
After two minutes, Scorpion Tail finally made a move. It did not wander around but stayed in place, waiting for Demon Hunter to jump nearby. Just then, Demon Hunter passed right by it. If it didn't strike now, the opportunity would be even harder to come by. A precise Iron Chain Across the River successfully immobilized Demon Hunter.
"Damn it!"
Demon Hunter exclaimed angrily but calmly used Lingbo Weibu, teleporting 15 meters away. Even so, Demon Hunter was still hit by Scorpion Tail's subsequent Eagle Strike.
Scorpion Tail sneered and, seeing Demon Hunter run away, quickly used 【White Horse Passing Through a Gap】 to increase its movement speed by 50% for 15 seconds. In no time, it caught up with Demon Hunter, who hurriedly jumped and shot while constantly moving, waiting for the cooldown of Lingbo Weibu. The two chased each other, with Demon Hunter clearly at a disadvantage. Fortunately, there were potions to replenish health; otherwise, it would have fallen to Scorpion Tail.
Both players had pets, but their pets were useless and perished within five seconds after starting to attack each other. The overall confrontation depended on how well each controlled their skills. However, for these two experts, operational mistakes were unlikely. Now that they were virtually immersed in the game world, they could use their skills more adeptly and maneuver more sharply. Their spectacular duel drew cheers from countless spectators!
After 12 seconds, Demon Hunter's Lingbo Weibu skill was off cooldown. It quickly used it to create distance from Scorpion Tail and then turned around to unleash a powerful skill followed by Hidden Weapon and Finger Flicking Divine Skill. For a moment, Scorpion Tail was caught off guard; however, its mental fortitude allowed it to enter stealth again, escaping combat and denying Demon Hunter the chance to immobilize it.
As such, neither player had any chance of defeating the other in this duel. With both in stealth mode, their health regenerated fully; as long as they couldn't sustain combat, both players' health would be replenished—defeating each other was simply impossible.
Ten minutes later, neither player had achieved any results; Scorpion Tail remained in stealth mode.
"Ding!"
System Announcement: The First Martial Arts Championship has not determined a winner. Overtime will continue for five minutes and will be indefinite until a winner is decided, or someone voluntarily withdraws, and no healing is allowed!
At this moment, Lufeng was in the midst of his fifth Bear King. Hearing about the peculiar overtime, he couldn't help but chuckle and shook his head, speculating, "Someone will definitely come looking for me soon!"
"What do you mean by looking for you?" Wang Xiaojing asked.
The crowd was puzzled, unsure of what Lufeng was muttering about, and they all turned to him. Lufeng smiled mysteriously, "You'll find out soon enough."
Regarding the Duel, Gao Chao chattered on, "I hate facing Tianshan Duel. Luckily, this is the championship match; they must determine a winner. Otherwise, both would be eliminated! I think these two have planned it out; that's why they're not fighting to the death. If neither has a strategy, they'll just keep going endlessly!"
"Nonsense!" Lufeng laughed and scolded.
Sure enough, not long after, Lufeng received an email from Childish Can Also Become a God: "Brother Lufeng, where are you? Come to the Luoyang Training Ground quickly; I need your help urgently!"
Lufeng shared Childish Can Also Become a God's email with the group and laughed, "See? Someone is indeed looking for me!"
Gao Chao curiously asked, "Boss is really impressive; you even guessed this! You didn't coordinate with them beforehand and have them send you a message, did you?"
"Childish!" Lufeng replied nonchalantly. He then explained the sibling relationship between Childish Can Also Become a God and Demon Hunter. When Childish Can Also Become a God learned that her sister needed to go into overtime, she would definitely come to borrow the Sunglasses Cat. Once they had the Roaring Baby, there would be no doubt about Demon Hunter's chances of winning.
