Chapter 97 Holographic Online Games Are So Cool (18)

Si Yisi didn't have a moment to rest.

He entrusted most of the battles to Luo Xinxiu, as a way to hone his skills. Once he developed a fighting spirit, some deep-rooted weaknesses would loosen and weaken.

Until the day it is finally eradicated.

However, Si Yisi would not miss the duel with Liejiu Qinghan, as it was a bet between them from the very beginning.

There's no reason to let his "half" get involved on his own initiative.

Si Yisi said to Luo Xinxiu, "Your fighting spirit is good enough, but you're still lacking a bit of madness and ruthlessness."

Be ruthless to yourself, and even more ruthless to your opponents.

After saying this, Si Yisi walked straight onto the stage and met Liejiu Qinghan's gaze from afar.

Luo Xinxiu did not disappoint him. He fought his way through the enemy lines and successfully made it to the day when he faced the strong liquor and cold air!

At this point, more than half a month had passed since the selection competition began. As expected, Luo Yi'an made things difficult for Luo Xinxiu, using "his parents' words" to put pressure on him.

This time, however, Luo Xinxiu only felt a trace of affection for his twin sister, whom he had grown up with.

Luo Xinxiu's words stopped Luo Yi'an from uttering the curse he was about to unleash:

"Sister, don't forget why I became a cripple." Do you really have the right to look down on me?

The car accident was truly just an accident. Luo Xinxiu was more mature when he was young, while his sister maintained that naive and foolish appearance from the beginning.

So Luo Yi'an ran onto a section of road with passing vehicles to play, and Luo Xinxiu, seeing the speeding car, instinctively pushed his sister away.

With a loud bang, Luo Xinxiu's fate was turned upside down.

Luo Yi'an's face immediately turned blue. Her lips moved as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she stomped her foot angrily and completely ignored Luo Xinxiu.

That's not all; Luo Yi'an seemed determined to make things uncomfortable.

She deliberately pulled some girls she'd played with in the neighborhood into a chat, speaking very loudly, as if afraid Luo Xinxiu wouldn't hear her.

"My younger brother—he has a terrible temper at home, he'll throw things and try to hit people at the drop of a hat." Luo Yi'an curled her lip and gave Luo Xinxiu a smug look. "If it weren't for the fact that he's my brother, and I tried my best to persuade the family, Mom and Dad would have sent him for treatment long ago..."

“Our family wasn’t well-off to begin with, and we’ve almost exhausted our savings to treat his leg. We’re struggling to make ends meet,” Luo Yi’an said loudly. “What he did was utterly disheartening!”

"Sigh...you should think about your brother's feelings. I've heard that sick people are a little abnormal."

"It's not like there aren't cases of patients stealing a kitchen knife at night and killing their entire families."

The girl from this gossipy neighborhood said in a high-pitched voice.

How could Luo Xinxiu not see the smug look Luo Yi'an gave him? She was saying, "I can completely slander you and portray you as a villain."

Then... let's see who sides with you!

Si Yisi knew that Luo Xinxiu was not helpless against Luo Yi'an.

Luo Xinxiu had simply gotten used to receiving such criticism and judgment. He had developed self-confidence, but he hadn't corrected some of his bad habits.

Si Yisi didn't interfere not because he was reluctant to, but because since the person in charge was here, it was better for the person in charge to take action personally!

These thoughts swirled in Si Yisi's mind, then he pulled his wandering thoughts back and fixed his gaze on the strong liquor and cold air in front of him.

With a complex mix of emotions, yet also a surge of fighting spirit, he said to her, "I never expected you could actually do this."

He has gained a new understanding of the value of the broken brush and ink painting. At first, he was only pleased by the appearance, but now he has begun to think about how to use the contents of the bet made after Si Yisi's defeat to strive for the greatest benefit for the guild.

“Well,” Sis said, “if you’re going to fight, then hurry up. My semi-acquaintance is waiting for me.”

Liejiu Qinghan glanced at the black-robed player who had been attending every match, Duanbi Huamo, whom he had noticed.

What does this player's name start with? Let me check.

While Liejiu Qinghan has connections in the Stellar Game, he can only uncover a relatively large amount of information about the city where Duanbi Huamo lives.

If she were to add someone she knows, the process would be much more efficient.

Lie Jiu Qinghan turned his head back, only to find Si Yisi staring at him without blinking. He gave the impression of... hunting!

What lies before us is a ferocious beast poised for its hunt!

Si Yisi opened her lips to remind the strong liquor and cold air: "You'd better not mistake me for the broken brush painting you've researched."

At first glance, this seems like a mockery, ridiculing Shengxing Guild's ineffective information gathering capabilities. But in reality, both Si Yisi and Luo Xinxiu knew why Si Yisi would say that.

His fighting style is similar to Luo Xinxiu's, yet completely different!

Liejiu Qinghan didn't understand Si Yisi's hidden meaning. He stretched his muscles and waited for the announcement to begin before charging at Si Yisi like a lion.

The official designation for mages is that they are not melee classes, but after Liejiu Qinghan obtained this job advancement, he broke through this constraint!

While he was attacking at close range, he was also casting a spell – the mage's ultimate attack was brewing!

As skilled archers, the elves are definitely no match for close combat, and Liejiu Qinghan felt he could perfectly counter Si Yisi!

But the instant they were close, Si Yisi suddenly lunged at him—what was she trying to do?! Lie Jiu Qing Han was slightly confused, but then felt a powerful force throw him away!

Using the supple wood of the bow and arrow, and with the aid of spiritual power, Si Yisi transformed the strong, cold liquor into an arrow that formed a full moon on the bow! And just like that, he projected it in the direction he had come from!

What is she doing?

Is this the fighting style a ranged Pokémon should use?

But Si Yisi happens to be an elf! The moves he used throughout the entire process completely overlapped with the talents of the elven race, without any deviation from the norm.

Si Yisi, an ordinary elf, fought to a draw with the berserker mage carefully selected by Liejiu Qinghan!

No, or rather, even better!

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!" The arrows pierced the air, attacking the strong liquor with unstoppable force.

At this moment, the strong liquor and cold air were already showing signs of blood loss.

He roared inwardly, "Impossible! This isn't how you draw ink with a broken brush... I've carefully studied her playing style for the sake of absolute victory!"

It should have been more secure, or rather, it showed some signs of being a bit of a hindrance!

Si Yisi said, "I told you, don't treat me like someone you've thoroughly studied in the art of ink painting."

He shifted his gaze slightly to Luo Xinxiu, who was standing below waiting, and watched closely—

What should a real arrow look like? Si Yisi drew his bow... and released the arrow!

The moment the arrow was shot, everyone present, including the spectators, seemed to see the entire arrow shaft filled with a rich green!

Furthermore, a beam of white light captured everyone's attention with an undeniable and powerful presence!

The strong liquor made him tense up. His muscles were clearly well-defined but not exaggerated, yet he subconsciously tried to shrink himself even smaller... He retreated!

The white light, the arrow, came straight at him, trying to pierce through the strong liquor and chilling coldness on the spot!

The strong liquor and cold air became aware of its presence, but the body couldn't keep up with the brain. He listened to the "thud" and watched as the arrow pierced his heart.

How beautiful is this arrow that has been shot? It rivals the most dazzling fireworks, displaying a transcendent posture! It's like a display of skill, or like sharp fangs hidden deep within its magnificent display!

It can be said to be the strongest arrow ever!

Luo Xinxiu paused, realizing the meaning behind Si Yisi's glance. He was saying... this was a demonstration arrow specifically shown to him!

Liejiu Qinghan was instantly disqualified and stepped down from the stage, looking down at his chest, still somewhat stunned. He had lost, which meant that Liejiu Qinghan had to leave the Shengxing Guild!

How could someone as cold and strong as this possibly accept such a thing?!

At this moment, all of Liejiu Qinghan's delusions turned to ashes, and he was about to lose the guild he had built up!

Lie Jiu Qinghan's face was terrible, extremely terrible. He looked at Si Yisi and moved his lips slightly, but at this moment his eyes were filled with an undeniable hatred!

"You lost." Si Yisi didn't take his slightest bit of hatred seriously at all. Did he think he had to respond just because someone hated him?

He'd probably be exhausted to death on the spot!

"I... understand!" Liejiu Qinghan practically gritted his teeth!

On that day, a sensational event stunned most of the players—the guild leader of Shengxing Guild, Liejiu Qinghan, voluntarily left the group!

He took away a large portion of the elite forces of the Shengxing Guild, and after he left, the Shengxing Guild issued a permanent kill order against Duanbi Huamo!

All of this stems from a player who accidentally broke their brush while drawing ink!

"Hey, Yi'an, do you play holographic MMORPGs?" One of Luo Yi'an's best friends pulled her into a conversation. "Let me tell you, there's a player who's really making waves lately!"

"Who is it?" Luo Yi'an asked absentmindedly. "Let me make this clear first, I'm not interested in this game."

Her younger brother was playing this game, wasn't he? She secretly took the game helmet and used it, but ended up getting into trouble!

“There’s an elf female player named Broken Brush Painting Ink. She’s really made us female players proud,” my best friend joked. “Speaking of which, Broken Brush Painting Ink and you, Yi’an, look somewhat alike.”

She saw Luo Yi'an's eyes widen, almost bloodshot.

"What did you say? Who?!"

"Broken brush to paint ink..." My best friend was startled and said weakly.
