Chapter 134 There is something dirty on the battlefield!
This senior Zhou was the enthusiastic senior who insisted on teaching Ji Ruo how to practice Tai Chi.
It was Ji Ruo's first time to participate in the morning exercises at university, and he planned to practice Tai Chi with everyone.
As a result, because everyone was practicing the simplified version of the 24 Tai Chi postures, while Ji Ruo was practicing the complete version of Tai Chi, the enthusiastic senior mistakenly thought that Ji Ruo was just practicing randomly.
Although the simplified version of the 24 Tai Chi postures does not have much killing power, it is still very effective in improving one's body and mind, relaxing muscles and tendons, etc.
You can't practice martial arts randomly. Not only will it have no effect, it can also easily hurt yourself.
So the enthusiastic senior Zhou came to correct Ji Ruo at that time.
It wasn't corrected... Later, this senior Zhou rushed to class and said he would teach Ji Ruo again today, but Ji Ruo was forced to change his morning exercise to 'morning run' and he didn't meet this senior Zhou.
Unexpectedly, we met in a simulated battle. Isn’t that a coincidence?
…
The sky suddenly darkened.
Day turns to night, the moon is high in the sky, and the stars are twinkling.
This simulated battlefield claims to be able to simulate everything and is absolutely real.
Not to mention day and night, even thunder, rain, wind and so on can be simulated randomly.
It's just that the flow of time in the battlefield is a little fast. This simulated battle has only been going on for less than two hours, but the simulated sun above the head has already moved from the east to the west and fallen into the horizon.
A day on the battlefield passed just like this.
“What a coincidence.”
Ji Ruoyi grinned: "It's a good opportunity for you to see how I perform Tai Chi."
…
"Oops!"
Zhou Yishu and others frowned deeply.
They couldn't see Ji Ruo's movements clearly to begin with, and now as night fell and the light became dimmer, their situation became even worse.
It's no longer possible to end the war quickly if you want to. How can you end the war quickly if you can't even find the enemy?
The key point now is that if Ji Ruo is in the dark and they are in the light, he will not know where to escape if he wants to waste time.
"Old Zhou, what should we do now?"
A teammate said with a trembling voice: "I'm a little afraid of the dark..."
Several people: "..."
Zhou Yishu really wanted to say something, but suddenly——
“Rustle~~~”
The forest suddenly began to shake, and the leaves rustled against each other.
Huang Honglun was stunned for a moment: "Is the wind blowing?"
"Simulated windy day?"
The branches are swaying, and the shadows are blurry.
The cold moonlight passed through the gaps between the treetops and fell on the grass, making a mottled and dancing sound.
The dead branches and fallen leaves were blown by the wind, floating in the air and dancing in the wind.
The tree crowns swayed and the leaves rubbed against each other, and amidst the rustling sounds there were also creaking sounds, as if the trees were laughing eerily.
Faintly, it seemed that there were countless strange trees dancing in an eerie manner, which was quite scary.
"Why does it feel a bit creepy..." A team member couldn't help but shudder.
"Don't scare yourself, it's just a gust of wind, what are you afraid of!" Zhou Yishu scolded in a low voice.
In fact, he was also a little uneasy.
This wind is a bit strange...
There seem to be quite a few dancing trees in the forest...
"As I recall, dryads usually have the habit of 'walking at night'. Could this simulated battle be a simulation of dryads?"
The team member who said he was afraid of the dark trembled and said, "There are so many trees around here..."
…
Ji Ruo was practicing Tai Chi slowly.
His Tai Chi has the special effect of sweeping the floor. When practicing, as long as Ji Ru wants to, creating a gust of wind is a piece of cake.
Tai Chi itself has its own set of body movements, which exude a sense of roundness and naturalness.
But this set of body movements is only suitable for dodging and moving in a small range, and if you observe carefully, you will find that this set of body movements is only performed within a "circle" from beginning to end.
The range is not large.
So Ji Ruo thought about it, and suddenly changed the Tai Chi's supporting body movements to shadow steps.
Suddenly, the originally grand and majestic Tai Chi became weird.
The young man's figure appeared and disappeared in the woods, moving around everywhere.
Ji Ruo had an idea to combine two completely different martial arts together. Not to mention Zhou Yishu and the others, even Ji Ruo himself was not sure what his next step would be.
The power borrowed from heaven and earth circulated within Ji Ruo's body and gathered at his feet.
Then Ji Ruo's shadow seemed to explode suddenly, pushing Ji Ruo away.
The displacement speed was so fast that it even exceeded Ji Ruo's reaction limit.
It's like teleporting - although it's only a short distance teleportation.
Tai Chi combined with shadow steps becomes ghostly and strange.
Feeling the whistling sound of the wind beside his ears, Ji Ruo faintly heard the whispers of Zhou Yishu and others.
Ji Ruo smiled.
He suddenly thought of an interesting way to play.
So the boy began to sing.
…
"Let's fight it out!"
"I can't stand it anymore. This atmosphere is so...
"I even feel like I'll have nightmares when I go home at night... How could there be such a hellish scene in a simulated battlefield!"
The emotions of several people became increasingly unstable.
Seniors are seniors, but they are still students after all. Even if they have seen blood and participated in the special "summer camp" held by the first martial arts school, they can't become fearless.
As a human being, you will be afraid.
Their opponent in this match is a strong man who is proficient in assassination, and the scene of this simulated battle is so horrible - the simulated battle has lasted until now, and they haven't even seen the opponent's face clearly, and they feel depressed and scared.
"Go out and kill them. Life or death depends on this wave! I don't want to stay in this simulated battle for even a minute!"
"Me too! Kill him!"
Zhou Yishu hesitated for a moment and was about to nod.
suddenly--
A soft singing voice mixed in the wind, floating in the air, sometimes far away and sometimes near.
"The bright moon shines, the evil wind blows, the night deepens, the fog grows colder"
Suddenly, the originally clear night sky was filled with thick fog.
The dead branches and leaves swaying in the wind were looming in the thick mist, and they looked like strange-looking people!
"Sound power?!" Zhou Yishu was shocked: "Or a sound power with hallucinogenic effects?!"
"The ghost walks all over~the lonely road~looking for a substitute~the cold wind blows the cold moonlight~"
Ji Ruo was still a little unskilled in performing Tai Chi and Shadow Step at the same time.
At this moment he started singing again, his breathing was a little disordered and he couldn't control his steps.
His figure flickered in the mist of illusion, approaching Zhou Yishu and others again and again, and moving away again and again.
The 'sweeping wind' created by Tai Chi also became chaotic, with dead branches and leaves flying far away and back, appearing and disappearing in the mist of illusion.
His singing seemed to echo in all directions at the same time, scattered by the wind and condensed by the wind.
It was like little hands drilling into the ears of Zhou Yishu and others.
The dark night scene, the eerie dancing of dead branches and leaves, the whistling night wind, and Ji Ruo's singing voice that seemed to come and go because he couldn't control his shadow steps well...
The lyrics fit the occasion!
The title of 【Soul Singer】is effective!
【Sense of being immersed】Blessing!
Zhou Yishu and others had strong hallucinations, and the fear in their hearts bloomed like flowers and grew like grass!
They subconsciously leaned against each other, their backs pressed tightly together, nervously looking at the 'thick fog' around them.
suddenly--
"ah!!!"
Huang Honglun screamed and felt a withered human hand grabbing the back of his neck. Based on the feeling alone, Huang Honglun imagined a withered corpse lying on his back with a sinister grin.
It wants to turn me into its substitute!
"Surrender! I surrender! I surrender, I admit defeat!!!"
Huang Honglun was so frightened that he screamed wildly and disappeared suddenly.
He had already surrendered, and was directly judged as "killed in action" in the simulated battlefield and teleported out.
The rest of the people were also startled by Huang Honglun's scream. They turned their heads and saw a dry branch fallen to the ground.
Huang Honglun, a sophomore student, was frightened into surrender by a branch.
"Don't be afraid, it's just a branch..." Zhou Yishu pretended to be calm and comforted his remaining three teammates.
"I didn't expect that our opponent this time actually possessed such a mysterious sound martial art... But it doesn't matter. Since the opponent chose to use this method to influence us, he must be unsure of defeating us in a head-on battle. We still have a chance..."
Before Zhou Yishu finished speaking, the sad song suddenly changed its style and became cheerful.
"Her eyes~ Her eyes~ seem to be shining like stars~ See you~ See you~ See you~ I feel even more panicked~"
However, even though the style of the music has become more cheerful, it somehow feels even more pervasive.
Zhou Yishu listened to the singing voice getting closer and closer to him and swallowed subconsciously.
"It's just a trick. I'm not afraid. I'm not afraid. I'm not afraid..."
He repeated in a low voice, "I'm not afraid," and twisted his stiff neck.
The song has come to him!
"Senior..." Ji Ruo said softly.
Zhou Yishu suddenly felt a heat on his neck, and his whole body trembled, with goose bumps all over his body in an instant.
“Ahhhhhhhhh!!!! I give up, I give up!!!”*4
Ji Ruo's remaining four opponents all disappeared in an instant, automatically admitted defeat, were judged as "killed in battle" by the simulated battlefield, and were teleported out.
They didn't even get a clear look at what Ji Ruo looked like.
Ji Ruo put away his fist awkwardly and continued his unfinished words: "...How do you think my Tai Chi boxing is?"
…
There was a beep from my watch, and ten credits were credited to my account.
In a simulated battlefield, anything could happen, making it a great place to earn credits and gain practical experience.
Of course, in order to earn credits, you must win the battle.
Take Ji Ruo’s simulated battle as an example.
If he is not as skilled as others and loses, he will be deducted five credits, and Zhou Yishu and others will each get one credit.
Even though Zhou Yishu and others' income is low, under normal circumstances, they would almost certainly get it, and it wouldn't take much effort.
If Ji Ruo could turn the tables, he would naturally gain a lot of points. Two credits would be deducted from each loser, so Ji Ruo would earn a net of ten points.
The greater the risk, the greater the reward.
Ji Ruo walked out of the simulated battlefield.
The plant juices that were originally used to disguise his body were actually simulated in this simulated battlefield. Although it is said to be absolutely real, it is a simulation after all.
After leaving the simulated battlefield, the fake paint disappeared completely, and not even a trace of smell remained.
Recalling everything that had just happened on the battlefield, Ji Ruo touched his nose.
"It seems like this is a bit too much..."
He had originally intended to play a small prank, but he hadn't expected to scare the five seniors like that...
The boy planned to apologize.
Outside the simulated battlefield, Zhou Yishu and others have not left yet.
They stood in the sunshine, breathing heavily, looking up to face the scorching sun, their eyes filled with tears from the intense light.
For the first time in their lives, they felt the sunlight was so kind.
Zhou Yishu and others did not notice Ji Ruo. They were enjoying the sunshine after surviving the disaster.
Ji Ruo walked over, coughed, and said, "Ahem, Senior Zhou."
"Huh?!" Zhou Yishu was still a little sensitive to the word 'senior' and was almost frightened to jump by Ji Ruo.
He breathed a sigh of relief only after he saw clearly that it was Ji Ruo.
"It's you." Zhou Yishu forced a smile and said, "Didn't I agree yesterday that I would teach you Tai Chi today? Why didn't you come?"
Ji Ruo shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, Senior Zhou, I didn't mean to break the appointment. I was asked by other classmates to go jogging this morning."
Judging from the results, Ji Ruo was indeed "invited" to run.
"Is that so?" Zhou Yishu nodded and said, "Then let's make an appointment tomorrow...By the way, do you have no classes today? What are you doing here?"
Although the First Martial Arts School does not have many students, it covers a large area. The freshman teaching building area, dormitory area, and simulated battlefield are distributed in a triangle shape and are not close to each other.
It's just the beginning of the school year, and freshmen should be busy attending classes to earn credits and points, so they don't have time to hang out in places like this.
Ji Ruo said truthfully: "I don't have classes. I heard that the simulated battle is very interesting, so I came here to experience it..."
"Mock battle..." Zhou Yishu and his four classmates couldn't help but shudder. Zhou Yishu said in a trembling voice: "Junior, as a person who has experienced it, I have a suggestion for you. You have just entered school, so it is better not to participate in the mock battle for the time being."
"Why?"
Zhou Yishu glanced at the entrance and exit of the simulated battlefield, shuddered, and whispered: "The simulated battlefield is not clean, there are dirty things... I am not superstitious, we just saw the dirty things with our own eyes! It was an ugly zombie with a green face and fangs, which was invulnerable to swords and guns, water and fire, and could even drive the undead. It was so scary!"
Ji Ruo: “???”
How am I dirty? I even washed my hair white!
and--
What do you mean by an ugly zombie with green face and fangs? Did you really see me just now?
Seeing Ji Ruo's suspicious expression, Zhou Yishu said solemnly: "Junior brother, everything I said is true. If we hadn't met that guy, my teammates and I wouldn't have been defeated... If you don't believe me, ask them!"
"Yes! That's right! We saw the dirty thing with our own eyes. He is very powerful and ugly. He can also use human wave tactics. Otherwise, we would not have lost this game!"
Huang Honglun said loudly: "And I can testify. At that time, the zombie put its hand on the back of my neck and tried to suck my blood. Although I fought desperately, it still succeeded. There are bite marks here...Huh? I forgot that all injuries in the simulated battlefield, including death, are simulated. They disappear when you leave the battlefield... What a pity."
Ji Ruo and Luo Xi looked at each other.
Rosie looked confused.
She took out her smooth 'Omni-Mirror', looked at it carefully, raised her head, and said hesitantly: "Meow~ (Master, the ugly zombie with a green face and fangs... is not talking about me.)"
Ji Ruo: “…”
…
