Xing Wenghu prepared himself as the Round was about to begin. This time he would take a radically different approach. He would not use his gun at all, instead he would find a way to beat up his opponent within the game. This was the way of a True Heavenly King, not some random Gun Cultivator off the street. "Any Tribulations this trial can throw at me, I will crush like an ant!" Before the Round timer finished counting down, another system notification appeared. The blue screen shined directly in Xing Wenghu's face. Almost threatening to blind him. For a moment, he had mistaken the system of the trial as if it were a opponent. [BECAUSE YOU WERE THE PREVIOUS WINNER, YOU ARE NOW ABLE TO SELECT YOUR STARTING LOCATION]A scattered series of Blue pinpoints appeared across the ruined town map that Xing Wenghu was on. Each of these was able to be registered as his starting point for the next round. Xing Wenghu looked at each one, surveying them carefully to give himself the best vantage po
The Platinum screen shimmered elegantly in front of Xing Wenghu, displaying a similar two options to the ones he was presented last time. [User may select between the following two options.]The first one revealed itself to Xing Wenghu as an upgrade to his speed. It would multiply the increase in his speed to 10x his normal speed and even remove the health debuff activating the speed gave him. However, it came as a large cost. He would never be able to wield a gun again.The second one offered an incredibly fancy destructive gun. That slowly refilled it's ammunition automatically and had a large rate of fire with no recoil. It even featured a weightless perk, allowing Xing Wenghu to effortlessly use this as a new style of fighting instead of beating the ass of his opponents.However, Xing Wenghu knew what to choose without a moment of hesitation. He pressed his hand to the icon of the first option. This was the one he would choose. It would grant him only but a portion of his true
The System screen kept repeating the same error over and over. Xing Wenghu looked to where Fatty Wei had gone. The direction where Fatty Wei ran off to was shimmering back and forth, as if preparing to lock back up. Xing Wenghu immediately activated his speed buff, sprinting rapidly into the area before the gate way could close.Behind him, a sudden strange red Lock formed. The area behind Xing Wenghu was now closed off. A red locked wall reading [ERROR, ERROR] now spread where he formerly stood. "I don't know whats going on. But I can't leave Brother Wei by himself for too long. Who knows what may be happening to him without me around." Xing Wenghu scanned the area carefully, looking through the desolate neighborhood. The corpses of other people littered the area, but there was nothing notable in sight save for a eerie glowing red string of data. A hand suddenly clasped Xing Wenghu's foot, making him leap back. He looked down to see another player like him with their body half cut o
"Ready to meet your doom fool?"Xing Wenghu boldly looked at his last opponent, a feeble construct that the trial had prepared to fight him. In reality a security ai that he had no clue of what it really was. The Robot looked at Xing Wenghu, staring at him before speaking in it's monotone robotic voice."User threat Assessment concluded, Engag-"WHAM!Xing Wenghu immediately slammed his fist through the Robot's head, killing it. He knew better than to allow his adversaries to talk, as often when they did they would prepare some kind of sudden last minute power up. An "Ass Pull" If you will that made no sense in the plot and made them incredibly stronger out of nowhere.Xing Wenghu's fist had come crashing through the robots head worse than a Fathers belt when you failed a math test. Circuits and gears splattered everywhere as the robot fell to the floor. "Now that distraction is out of my way. Let's go find brother Wei." Xing Wenghu approached the familiar Red Lock, noticing the small
Xing Wenghu looked out at the ruined landscape that was the town Chaddy Wei had wandered in the direction of. He walked slowly and carefully through it, being very minute to avoid falling into any traps or being ambushed by any hidden enemies. He gazed carefully at the area around him, but there was naught a soul in sight.The town was was utterly deserted. The area was coated in the corpses of other players, disintegrated into red masses. Strangely, there were also the bodies of similar robots to the ones Xing Wenghu had fought earlier and blasted to pieces. He looked at one carefully. "Was there a battle here? There must be another person if there are bodies here. None of these look old.""It's so empty in here. Could Chaddy Wei have gone to another location by now?" Xing Wenghu went further, he began sprinting instead. He channeled the qi in his legs to allow him to go much faster than he normally could. He took a dramatic pose right before doing it, contorting his hands in a funny
Xing Wenghu sat in his chair as the robot continued its long and very boring monologue. It was one that took Xing Wenghu back to a very painful memory of his life. A time when he had to deal with accursed topics in school like Calculus. He could remember the suffering like it was yesterday, a true fate that did not befit a Heavenly King.It was back when Xing Wenghu was in his last year of High School. The class had always made fun of him for being unable to do math properly. He had the lowest grades, and everyone looked down on him. The teacher had challenged him to come up to the board and solve a problem. Unfortunantly, his Heavenly King powers were dormant at the time.Thus, Xing Wenghu lacked the advanced intellect he had to not only solve the problem. But also graciously write the secret to immortality as a casual gift to the classroom in spite of their treatment of him. As a true immortal was often very forgiving when it came to arrogant mortals who did not know their place.
Xing Wenghu shifted around in his chair. "No...The Calculus! Not the Calculus!" Xing Wenghu muttered to himself, utterly ignoring the long and boring dialogue of the robot in front of him. Its long monologue had reminded him of overly long and boring rpg games. Xing Wenghu was not at all a fan of games that required a modicum of patience or reading.Xing Wenghu sat back as the robot continued their monologue. "And that's why we need you. You are an anomaly in this system that can help us overtake it for good. But we would need your help to complete our victory. Would you help us?" The robot questioned to Xing Wenghu, who only look at it with a bored expression."This is clearly a test. And I am not helping a bad person that attacked me. Die!" Xing Wenghu stood up and immediately kicked the robot in the leg without any mercy. No dramatic call out or charging his attack, that was how serious he was. "Your story is boring and long!!!!' Xing Wenghu shouted as a piece of metal immediately
"Brother Xing, over here!" A familiar voice had called out to Xing Wenghu. He turned to see none other than Chaddy Wei, crouched over in the bushes. He looked desperate, hiding himself carefully amongst the leaves. "Come quickly, it's dangerous here!"Xing Wenghu turned to Chaddy Wei and smiled confidently. "Brother Wei. Have you begun to doubt your power? There's nothing I cannot handle in this world." Chaddy Wei immediately made a exasperated face. "Brother Xing! There are monsters here! We have to be careful. You can't hurt them so easily!!!" Chaddy Wei shouted loudly, causing him to cover his mouth immediately. A loud rustling sound could be heard now approaching them. Xing Wenghu turned to face it. "Watch Brother Wei. I will show you that you are wrong." Xing Wenghu prepared himself in a fighting stance for what was coming, the ground slightly shook as a tremendous creature immediately stepped out of the jungle.It's face was gargantuan, it's arms were incredibly tiny. It had a
