Chapter 26 Chapter 26
When the pictographic nightmare beast began to be summoned, the director enlarged the small split screen of the live broadcast to allow the audience to watch better.
As Xuanyin began to possess the spirit and the purple divine power came crashing down, the director shuddered and shouted, "Zoom in! Zoom in even more! Zoom in! Cut to a close-up! Use as many cameras as you can!"
Facts have proved that his decision was correct, because just after adjusting the picture, Xuanyin completed the possession. There were seven or eight cameras shooting at her alone, without missing any blind spots.
Thus, the image of Lady Shiji was presented to the audience in a complete and vivid manner.
The robe that fluttered in the wind, the sparkling gems and the understated luxurious patterns on the clothes, the gorgeous and sharp makeup on the face, and the gleam in the eyes when she opened them.
The director watched intently, shocked and slapping his thighs repeatedly. He is so smart. Hahahaha, the bonus is secure this time!
The audience in front of the screen were stunned.
The cross-dressing video from the dream world last time has been widely circulated and many people have seen it. However, the camera was shaking at the time and it was not very clear. At this moment, they finally saw the whole process of possession clearly.
The sense of shock spread from the vision to every cell of the heart, and the excited emotions suddenly expanded like blowing bubbles.
It felt like watching a big-budget fantasy drama, or like seeing a truly extraordinary figure descend from the sky.
Before they could react, the next moment, the person on the screen raised his hand, drew a half circle with the sword, and then swiftly reversed his grip and thrust it into the ground.
Then Chanyeol’s divine power exploded, and the Nightmare Beast was blown away like a sandbag.
All screens were dominated by this purple-gold light.
At the same time, the entire auditorium seemed to be blown over by a strong wind-like air pressure. The bottles on the table were directly knocked over, and the audience's hair and clothes were blown up.
"Wow!"
Everyone exclaimed and covered their pounding hearts. This was not excitement, but they were really affected.
"Yes, it's the fluctuation of divine power!"
"Holy crap! This screen has a divine power filtering function, and it can still transmit divine power. How powerful is this?"
Everyone covered their faces and held their hearts. They were obviously afraid, but they still opened their eyes wide to see.
Then Xuanyin jumped up instantly and slashed down with a sword.
"Wow, so handsome!"
The pictographic nightmare beast that had been burning for a long time but had not yet died was directly split into two halves.
The audience exclaimed, "Awesome!"
"For those with commanding abilities and the ability to unleash ultimate attacks at low health, either ignore them or kill them with one strike! Well done!"
"When two armies clash, kill the commander first!"
On the field, after Xuanyin chopped the pictographic nightmare beast, she fell to the ground. The nightmare beasts around her that were blown away were one step behind her and fell to the ground one after another, stirring up a cloud of dust.
Although these nightmare beasts had lost their commands, their hunting instinct told them that Xuanyin was the strongest and most delicious. As soon as they got up, they pounced on Xuanyin without even looking at the other contestants.
"Ah, get out of the way!"
"Quickly knock them away like you did just now!"
The audience stood up and cheered excitedly as if they were the ones being besieged.
The judges on the judging panel also clenched their fists excitedly: "Let's see how Lady Shiji will respond, or will she violently send her flying?"
"It seems that shocking it away is useless. After shocking it, it will rush back. It should be a big move."
"Wow, you said that shocking dozens of nightmare beasts away in one breath, isn't that called a big move?"
Cheng Zixin looked at these guys who were as excited as monkeys. Before, she wanted to let them speak, but now they all talked as much as the commentators of the game.
On the screen, Xuanyin did not send the nightmare beast flying again. She clasped the hilt of the sword with both hands, shook her arm, sent the sword out, and used her divine power to control it to circle in the air.
The sword flew like a stream of light, circled around, and returned to Xuanyin's hand. The nightmare beast that was cut by the stream of light was directly separated from its head and body and fell down.
The Nightmare Beasts behind were stunned when they saw this scene, and seemed to be really scared. Except for a few particularly stubborn ones, the other Nightmare Beasts decisively gave up Xuan Yin and turned around to pounce on other contestants.
Contestants: "Fuck!"
Audience: “Fuck!”
The judges shouted, "Wow! Awesome! Really awesome!"
"We saw that Lady Shiji had really unleashed her ultimate move. How on earth did she do it? She could actually detach her weapon from her body and even do a complete circle in the air!"
"Let's take a look at the information. The divine robe worn by Lady Shiji is classified as a mythical figure. It is said that Lady Shiji is a demon fairy who has attained enlightenment for tens of thousands of years and possesses immense magical powers. Magical powers? Is that the power displayed on the screen? This is truly novel and powerful!"
"The sword in her hand is called the Tai'a Sword. I have to say, this sword is quite remarkable. It seems to have a mind of its own. Even if it's out of its owner's hands, it can kill a large number of Nightmare Beasts!"
Cheng Zixin's face was frozen from laughing. Listening to all the flattery, she felt that she shouldn't have had this extra pair of ears.
Looking at the person on the screen, she took a deep breath.
After this Lady Shiji appeared on the stage, everyone else on the field became a background figure.
If I were there, I can’t imagine how overshadowed I would be.
At this moment, she felt a little sympathy for Jin Qi from the Empire. Judging from the performance of the contestants, his divine clothes could be ranked in the top three, but now... go away, who still cares about his divine clothes?
Jin Qi was indeed very depressed at this time. He was dealing with the nightmare beast and releasing fireballs for free while looking at Xuan Yin.
Oh, she swung her sword again and killed another bunch of nightmare beasts.
Is her divine power inexhaustible?
Wouldn't she feel tired?
He just released a few fireballs, but he felt his divine power was being consumed, and it seemed like he couldn't hold on for much longer.
At this moment, the space around Xuanyin suddenly twisted, and a new space gap was forming.
Jin Qi's eyes lit up. He knew how to deal with the spatial gap. He shouted to Xuan Yin, "Do you need my help?" Then he called to the attendant in the divine robe of foresight, "You go..."
Before he could finish his words, Xuan Yin ignored him, leaped up, stepped on the gaps in space, circled half a circle in the air, slashed with a sword, and then all the gaps in space were directly cut off by her.
Jin Qi: “!”
He nearly choked on his own saliva.
This person's ability to predict space cracks is much more sensitive than his subordinates' predictive divine clothes.
Her ability to seal space cracks is even better than the glue-powered divine clothes. Just one strike of the sword will do the trick!
As for combat effectiveness and lethality, even if ten of me were put together, they would not be able to match it.
Damn, how could one person crush several people at the same time? It's really unfair!
The judges were speechless. After a while, someone finally said, "Just eliminate the spatial rift in one go?! You know, spatial rifts constantly send Nightmare Beasts in, which is the most troublesome and vexing thing on the battlefield. And once a spatial rift appears, it's difficult to close it manually until all the Nightmare Beasts inside have escaped."
"Yes, the Imperials just had a divine robe that could fire cannonballs to seal gaps in space. I already thought it was amazing. In comparison, this one from Lady Shiji is even more explosive."
“Isn’t this divine garment almighty?”
"It's incredible that the Divine Tower can actually pass through such a heaven-defying divine garment."
"Compared to that, I'm more curious about what kind of incredible physique this spirit-possessing master has that allows him to withstand the load of so many powerful attacks."
The judges were speaking enthusiastically, and the audience was listening and watching at the same time, their ears and eyes almost too busy to keep up.
The scene was already in a killing frenzy.
In the chaos, Cheng Shuhui's teammates grabbed him and said, "Run now, the longer you can hide, the better."
Cheng Shuhui's eyes were filled with the radiant Xuan Yin. He broke free from his teammates' hands and said, "You guys run away. I've already unleashed my full power. I can't hold on much longer anyway. Instead of wasting time running away, why not show off more? The judges' scores are also very important."
As he spoke, he spun towards the Nightmare Beasts like a spinning top, and immediately scattered a group of Nightmare Beasts that had gathered to attack Xuan Yin.
My teammate has a toothache, but when he sees his idol, he ignores everything!
Take a look at the remaining number of people, oh, well, in just a short while, there are only more than 900 people left!
Now that you've advanced a thousand feet, you can use your ultimate move.
He let out a loud cry and unleashed all his strength. A gong-like object in his hand instantly grew larger, and he pounded it down heavily.
There was a loud, deep, long and harsh thud.
This sound was particularly effective against the Nightmare Beast. The Nightmare Beast froze for two seconds and could not move at all.
The teammates laughed: "Not bad, not bad!"
Just based on his performance, the judges should give him a good score!
The person next to him covered his ears in pain and cursed, "What kind of magical clothes are you? How can you not distinguish between friend and foe and attack indiscriminately?"
"Oh, sorry, sorry."
When Jin Qi saw this scene, the corners of his mouth twitched. The divine clothes of the federal players were not all bad.
He sighed deeply and gritted his teeth, "Everyone in the Empire, obey my orders. Give it your all and do not retreat."
We may not win the championship this time, but we cannot bring shame to the empire’s reputation!
Looking down from the air, the nightmare beasts formed many poison circles and besieged several waves of contestants. In some poison circles, the contestants were wiped out, while in other poison circles, the contestants broke out of the siege.
The poisonous circle where Xuanyin was located was the one with the highest concentration of nightmare beasts because of the previous call of the pictographic nightmare beasts.
The federal audience watched the scenes of desperate resistance on the screen. Some of those who had experienced or knew about the tragic situation on Planet H8 couldn't help but have tears in their eyes.
The judges sighed.
"This scene is so similar to what it was back then."
"Yes, we were also surrounded by Nightmare Beasts, divided and scattered, feeling hopeless and helpless. There were gaps in the air that kept appearing, and there was no end to the Nightmare Beasts. There was a bloody road that was impossible to escape even if we died."
"Beside me were Spirit Attached Masters who had collapsed from exhaustion, and ordinary soldiers who, despite wielding advanced and sophisticated weapons, were of no help to the battle situation and could only use their bodies as blood bags for the Spirit Attached Masters."
After hearing these words, some people in the audience wiped their tears silently, and the bigwigs in the federal backstage who had experienced ups and downs also had tears in their eyes.
The judges continued, "When we learned that this competition was replicating the H8 planetary battle, we thought it would be over quickly and the contestants wouldn't be able to hold out for long. But in reality, the quality of this year's contestants far exceeded our expectations."
"Yes. In fact, in recent years, we can see that Nightmare Beasts are constantly evolving. In the future, sneak attacks similar to those on Planet H8 may become the norm. Although this designer competition didn't explicitly state it, one of the main goals is to discover divine clothing that can be used to deal with such situations."
"Today, we saw many excellent divine garments, some capable of predicting and sealing spatial gaps. The two Imperial divine garments were excellent. The Federation player, who was like a spinning top, was also quite good at dispersing the gathering of Nightmare Beasts. And this one, using sound waves to silence Nightmare Beasts, was a bit like total control, and was also quite good."
"There are many similar Divine Garments with great potential. Although they all have some issues, they are all promising. We know that the maximum number of licenses for each Divine Garment is between 10 and 20. Therefore, a constant supply of new and excellent Divine Garments is the lifeblood of our army."
"Of course, at present, it seems that all the divine clothes cannot compare to this Shiji Niangniang."
"If Lady Shiji releases the authorization, I think all the famous spirit masters in the galaxy will rush to grab the authorization. This divine clothing is really amazing. I wonder what kind of person can wear it."
Cheng Zixin couldn't help but look at these senior colleagues.
It turned out to be a group of sensationalists and praisers.
She had never been a judge before. Are judges for all competitions like this?
She looked at everyone, and everyone looked at her, as if expecting her to say something inspiring.
Cheng Zixin: “…”
Cheng Zixin stammered, "If I have the chance, I really want to discuss this with the designer of Shiji Niangniang. This is a true genius."
The judges nodded: satisfied, and left.
At this time, on the field, the nightmare beasts on Xuanyin's side were almost solved.
Of course, there aren't many players left here.
Some were killed by nightmare beasts, some were so scared that they pressed the exit button and left, and some were forced to be eliminated because they could not withstand the consumption of the divine clothes.
In the end, the only ones left on the scene were Xuan Yin, Jin Qi and one of his servants, Cheng Shuhui and another person.
Xuanyin put away her sword, straightened her clothes and was about to leave.
Jin Qi called her: "Hey, wait, what's your name? I'm asking for your real name."
Xuanyin turned her head to look at him: "Why should I tell you my real name?"
Her heavily made-up face was truly devastating. Jin Qi was blinded by the flash, his heartbeat quickening as he took a step back. "Why, why did your appearance and voice change after you became a god? I've never heard of a divine garment that also had cosmetic effects."
Xuanyin said: "Of course not, it's just that the direction of the plastic surgery is different."
Jin Qi was stunned. What did this mean? Why didn't he understand?
Xuanyin was about to leave when Cheng Shuhui limped over and said, "Um... Madam."
Xuanyin was shocked, the corners of her mouth twitched, and she looked at him coldly.
In my current position, getting close to Cheng Shuhui will not benefit either of us at all.
Being looked at like this by her, Cheng Shuhui suddenly didn't know what to do with his hands and feet: "I, I am your fan."
Xuanyin thought that this cheap brother could be so shy.
She looked at the time. There was not much time left, and there were still more than a hundred people on the field.
She couldn't be the last one to leave the arena, otherwise her identity would be locked.
She said, "So?"
Cheng Shuhui was speechless for a moment.
Xuanyin didn't wait for his answer, turned around and left, waving her sleeves, leaving no trace behind.
Very cool.
Cheng Shuhui looked back at the place where she disappeared, feeling lost, but he didn't dare to chase after her.
Jin Qi was still thinking about what Xuan Yin meant by that sentence.
The attendant whispered, "Your Highness, shall we continue?"
Jin Qi bared his teeth and said, "Go on, Your Highness, I am about to fall apart. Back off."
Jin Qi and the other person pressed the button to exit the game.
Cheng Shuhui glanced at the remaining number of people. There were only more than a hundred people left. The longer he stayed to the end, the higher his ranking would be. Even though he was exhausted now, he decided to wait a little longer. Anyway, it was still quite safe here.
Another contestant hesitated: "Hey, man, you're not retreating? If you encounter the Nightmare Beast again and get killed, it will take a long time to recover."
Cheng Shuhui shook his head: "I'll stay a little longer."
The man thought about it and decided that saving his life was more important: "Then I'll withdraw first."
Meanwhile, Xuanyin moved forward, avoiding cameras and drones, while mentally asking the Divine Tower, "Should I have successfully completed my mission this time?"
After a while, the voice of the God Tower was heard: "Although you didn't beat that kid, but... you did a good job."
It brings honor to the Shenta.
Xuanyin smiled: "Then I will withdraw from the competition, and then you can do me a small favor."
Half a minute later, Xuanyin left the competition venue and reappeared in the competition room.
Her legs went weak and she almost sat on the ground.
The system's little yellow cat was frantically spinning around, but when it saw her emerge, it quickly ran over. "You're out! I can't even follow you into the competition arena. What a shame! I saw your live broadcast of the competition. You were amazing! You shocked all the audience and judges. Your bragging points are rolling in. And your advancement task has been completed."
There was a lot of noise, and Xuanyin couldn't find a chance to continue.
She leaned against the wall to rest for a while, and after she recovered, she said, "Let's go, let's get out of here first."
"But the security outside is very tight. They are determined to find you. The contestants who haven't withdrawn from the competition are all guarding the entrance."
Xuanyin said, "It's okay, the Divine Tower will help me. You just need to help me blur my face when I'm photographed by the camera."
"Okay." The system jumped onto her shoulder and pretended to be the AI elf again.
Xuanyin pressed the brim of her hat, opened the door and walked out.
Sure enough, there were two soldiers standing outside the door.
When they saw her come out, their expressions were full of respect. After all, being able to fight until now and advance into the top 100 was indeed worthy of respect.
They also said that they wanted to take Xuanyin to rest, as the competition would be over soon and there would be an awards ceremony, and the judges and organizers would want to meet with them, the contestants.
Xuanyin nodded, but then acted very uncomfortable and said in a hoarse voice: "I'm sorry, I feel very uncomfortable now, and I feel like going to the bathroom."
This is what happens after being possessed by a spirit. The soldiers understood and asked the staff to take her to the bathroom.
In the dream world, people can eat and drink, and of course they also have to defecate and urinate, which is very realistic.
Xuanyin put away her expression as soon as she entered the bathroom.
There weren't many people in the player area at this time, but she wasn't the only one in the restroom. Some people came straight here from the competition venue to vomit and defecate.
Xuanyin came to the compartment, opened her personal panel, chose a set of clothes from it, and disguised herself as a t. She immediately changed into a different look and walked out leisurely.
The staff member outside glanced at her but didn't look at her for long.
Xuanyin left the toilet smoothly, and then, following the twists and turns of the road, walked out of the contestant area under the guidance of the system.
At this time, there were still more than ten minutes before Cheng's mother finished her physical therapy. After thinking for a while, she came to the audience area.
The atmosphere here was still relatively relaxed at this time, with many audiences coming in and out, and Xuanyin was not noticeable at all.
She came to her previous position.
Yu Xiaoqin was chatting with others. Seeing her come back, she said happily, "Where have you been? Did you see Niangniang Shiji appear just now?"
Xuanyin said, "I came back from the restroom. It was too dark here, and I saw a seat at the side, so I just sat there and watched. I also saw the wonderful performance of Lady Shiji. She is really amazing."
"Yeah, yeah, but I don't know where she is now. I can't see her on any of the split screens."
Xuanyin said seriously: "It's easy for someone like her to avoid the camera."
"That's right, the champion this time is definitely Lady Shiji!"
Xuanyin looked up at the big screen and saw in the upper right corner a list showing that there were 57 contestants on the field, and the four words "Shiji Niangniang" were ranked first because her score was the highest, one digit more than the scores of the contestants behind her, which was a direct crushing victory.
That's why she asked the Divine Tower to help her, to create the illusion that she was still in the arena.
Xuanyin's attitude towards the existence of the Divine Tower is to make a request when necessary. If the other party does not agree, there is no loss. If the other party agrees, then you gain.
The main mentality is to get the best deal.
However, what she didn't expect was that Cheng Shuhui was still staying in the competition. It seemed that this time, he would be able to get a considerable prize money.
Suddenly, a purple figure flashed across a split screen, and the audience exclaimed, "It's Lady Shiji!"
"Ah, it passed by so quickly that I didn't see it clearly."
Xuanyin raised her eyebrows. This divine tower is quite interesting. It makes it more realistic this way.
She sat for a while and told Yu Xiaoqin that she wanted to go out for some fresh air.
Yu Xiaoqin: "There will be an awards ceremony later. Maybe you can see the real Niangniang Shiji. Remember to come back!"
Xuanyin nodded, walked out of the audience area, and then walked out of the venue quietly. No one stopped her or paid attention to her on the way. She found a place to log off.
"Huh——" Xuanyin took off his helmet, his forehead was covered with sweat and his face was as pale as paper.
The system light ball flew in front of her: "Your face is so pale, so scary."
Xuanyin took out He Xiangu's elixir, and her hands began to shake like Parkinson's disease. "It's normal to feel weak after possessing the spirit."
She took the elixir, which melted in her mouth as soon as it entered her mouth. It was like a warm current that quickly flowed to her limbs and bones. She immediately felt refreshed, and most of the discomfort was gone at once. Her face gradually became rosy.
Xuanyin let out a long breath and patted her face: "It is indeed a magic pill, the effect is really good."
She stood up and stretched a bit, then immediately rushed to the physical therapist. The nurse was waiting at the door. Seeing her coming, she smiled and said, "Xiao Cheng, you've come at the right time. Your mother will be out soon."
