Chapter 786: Teaching the Playstyles of Noob Zed and Cash Cow LeBlanc

A profound silence enveloped the canyon.

It seemed... as though the loss of first blood had altered very little.

The entirety of the chasm was saturated with an air of solemn gravity.

On the blue side, where Nalan Mingxue was stationed, the mid lane was occupied by a player commanding LeBlanc.

Pitted against her on the opposing side was Zed.

Within the newly opened establishment of the Dongxuan Mystic Realm, in the most conspicuous seat, sat a woman robed in pristine white.

Her countenance was as frosty as it was fair, her skin like congealed ointment—a beauty of the absolute highest order, possessing a snow-pale face brimming entirely with haughty pride.

She resembled a banished immortal descended from the heavens, her white garments surpassing the snow, her visage akin to flawless jade.

She was like a snow lotus that could only blossom upon the desolate, untrodden peaks of the highest glacial summits.

At this moment, she was focusing her entire mind and spirit on operating the Deceiver, deftly evading her opponent's onslaughts.

This was her very first encounter with this thing called "electronic sports."

Behind her stood a gathering of ordinary disciples, all watching and learning.

"Watch closely!" an elder urged from the rear. "Observe well how your Eldest Senior Sister engages in this 'electronic sports'!"

"Yes!" the disciples behind her responded, their voices filled with excitement and adoration.

"Hiss—! This person is incredibly formidable!"

"How is it that he can always strike Senior Sister with those flying daggers..."

She dared not slacken her vigilance in the slightest.

As the Eldest Senior Sister of the Haotian Sect and one of the most outstanding individuals among the disciples, Yu Yin had heard the elder state with his own ears that this "electronic sports" could allow her to take a step further and become a legendary "grandmaster"!

Therefore, no matter what, she had to treat every single battle with the utmost seriousness.

At the same time, she needed to ensure these junior brothers and sisters learned well, grasping the very essence of it!

Only in this manner would the entire sect make progress!

The minions within the canyon fought on blindly, heedless of their surroundings, and perished just as blindly.

When meeting on a narrow path, the brave shall prevail; Yu Yin controlled LeBlanc without a shred of negligence, confronting the enemy Zed in a tense standoff.

The throwing knives and magic of both sides clashed back and forth, a battle that seemed to dim the heavens and earth.

Magical light, resembling cannonballs, shot forth furiously!

Sigil of Silence!

Swish!

In the spark of a flint, the opposing Zed reacted with extreme velocity, stepping aside and retreating backward.

The golden light flashed past his ear!

"You think you can hit me?" A smug smile tugged at the corner of the opposing Zed's mouth.

Right at that instant, a magical sigil twisted mid-air.

It slammed violently into the center of his back!

"Pfft—!" The opposing Zed instantly spat a mouthful of blood, and the expression of a player sitting in a corner of the Half-City shop turned deeply solemn.

"So... so strong!"

"Truly an expert!"

A flash of magical light erupted, and in the next heartbeat, that figure instantaneously dashed right before his eyes!

Terrifying magical elements exploded within a minuscule space in an instant. The Zed player wished to move, only to find the power within his body sealed away, rendered incapable of driving any skills whatsoever.

"How terrifying! To seal the power within my body at the same moment she injured me—this must be a peerless master! Run!" Hastily executing a desperate roll on the ground with a face full of horror, he fled backward frantically.

The staff in her hands swung repeatedly, and a chain, accompanied by a lightning-fast magical assault, was unleashed instantly!

When experts clash, the outcome is decided in mere fractions of a second.

A succession of three strikes ensued; though two failed to land, the momentum of absorbing three consecutive blasts from the turret scared the opposing Zed out of his wits! He simply did not dare to step forward again!

Only then did she walk back to her minion wave, fully satisfied.

"Eldest Senior Sister is incredible!" a group of disciples behind her cried out in awe.

"The opponent is also an expert!" Yu Yin appeared neither proud nor impatient. "Though he seemed suppressed by me just now, he actually feigned weakness to paralyze my judgment, taking three hits from that magical turret's attacks—a truly seasoned and calculating move!"

"Then what should we do?" a disciple asked anxiously.

"Confronted with such a situation, how do we face it?" Yu Yin drew a bottle of red potion from her spatial backpack. "Little does he know I came prepared. This is a top-grade healing medicine; as long as I drink it, the injuries I sustained just now will slowly recuperate. And of this healing medicine, I bought a full five bottles!"

"To think Senior Sister anticipated this long ago?!" several disciples behind her exclaimed in wonder.

"Mm... forcing back a great enemy yet remaining humble and steady. And to achieve such foresight, planning before acting, link upon link, holding everything within one's grasp upon the very first contact with this 'electronic sports'—not bad, not bad at all!" The white-robed elder in the back clapped his hands in praise.

"The Elder praises me excessively."

Yu Yin's attention returned once more to the game.

"Look quickly, the opponent also brought 'healing medicine'!" At this moment, everyone witnessed Zed's injuries slowly recovering as well.

"I have already said the opponent is also a master; it seems he thought of this too!" An appreciative glint appeared in Yu Yin's eyes, and she grew increasingly exhilarated. "To think that in this 'electronic sports', one can encounter such a powerful adversary so casually!"

The confrontation between the two sides grew even more cautious and meticulous, lasting all the way until level six, by which time all five red potions had been completely consumed. For both sides, the killing intent surged violently!

"Now is the moment to truly decide victory and defeat!" Yu Yin declared.

The ordinary disciples watching from behind grew tense in tandem; at this moment, they felt as though they were witnessing the figures of the lofty "Eastern Heretic" and "Western Venom" spoken of by Owner Fang, standing proudly atop Mount Hua.

Perhaps this... was the true meaning of the Sword Meet of Mount Hua.

At this instant, they wished for nothing more than to be standing upon the battlefield themselves!

And at this very moment, Yu Yin moved, controlling LeBlanc.

So swift it defied sight, akin to instantaneous teleportation, she appeared directly before the opposing Zed.

Yet almost simultaneously, Zed shifted and swapped positions like a phantom, leaving only a dark shadow in his original place.

Meanwhile, Zed's figure had already materialized where Yu Yin's LeBlanc had stood a moment prior.

"The unseen blade is the deadliest!" The player operating Zed softly murmured the phrase the hero frequently spoke. As the sharp edge of the blade slashed across, the living shadow clone he left behind instantly replicated the exact same movement.

Boom!

A magical projectile crashed down with a roar.

Having hurled the shurikens, he retreated hastily, successfully evading the third attack from the turret!

The minds of both individuals were currently in a state of high tension. Swiftly, Yu Yin reacted, activating Mimic to unleash a teleportation-like Distortion, dodging the strike of one of the shurikens.

But at that very moment, the opponent's other shuriken flew, as if possessing divine foresight, directly toward the precise location where the Deceiver was landing!

"Hiss—!"

"Even this was calculated?!"

"Too powerful!"

At this moment, the lifelines of both combatants were visibly wearing thin.

The crimson healing elixirs had long been exhausted.

When rivals meet on a narrow path, the brave shall prevail, and this was the ultimate moment of reckoning!

"Time to risk it all!" So long as her magical sigil locked onto the opponent, almost no one could escape their doom!

Furthermore, it would seal the enemy's powers, if only for a fleeting moment!

Coupled with the phantom chains, the opponent was undeniably marked for death!

Two beams of magical light erupted in an instant.

Yet right then, she witnessed the enemy's shadow assassin vanish into thin air!

Forbidden Arcane! Death Mark!

Yu Yin discovered to her horror that this dreadful killer seemed to have slipped into her very shadow, clinging to her like a ghost that could not be shaken off!

"My goodness!" The disciples watching from behind stared blankly at the scene, "Too strong!"

"Do not panic!" Worthy of her status as the chief disciple, Yu Yin instantly regained her composure, "My distorting shadow magic allows me to return to my previous position in the blink of an eye, he will never catch up!"

Whoosh! Whoosh!

"Whew..." Just as she let out a sigh of relief, the sharp howling of the wind rushed straight at her face.

"Watch out!"

"He is still there!"

"Ah—!" Controlling the pale witch, Yu Yin was thoroughly startled out of her wits, fleeing frantically toward the safety of her own base.

"Run, quickly!"

Boom!

Boom!

The shadow assassin finally sensed that something was amiss and hurriedly retreated backward.

Boom!

The defense tower executed the player named Blade King.

Yu Yin, feeling somewhat embarrassed, maneuvered the witch to scramble up from the dirt after a clumsy, frantic stumble: "It is finally over."

"We won?!" A burst of applause erupted from behind her.

"It seems Senior Sister possesses the superior technique after all!"

...

"No! He still has an accomplice!" Just at that moment, the eyes of the elder watching from behind flashed with a sharp light.

Suddenly, a figure materialized from the shadows of the corner!

"Be careful."

"Rest assured, Elder, my distorting magic is almost off cooldown!" Yu Yin's mind tightened once more, "The very instant he strikes! I shall evade him."

"Splendid! Remaining calm in the face of peril, to think you still held a trump card!"

The newcomer was a blindfolded monk.

Deprived of sight, he relied entirely on instinct, kicking out toward the corner of the wall: Sonic Wave!

A bolt of white light shot out instantly!

"Distortion!" Almost simultaneously, Yu Yin invoked her magic, plunging directly into the trajectory of the incoming white wave!

Notification: The Asura Player has executed Chief Disciple Yu Yin.

"???"

"????"

"?????"
