Chapter 17: Challenge me, give me your IP address, and I'll come and kill you.
"How did Zhanji do it? Is it true? Chu Jue joined Zhanji?" Yun Qiandu was completely baffled.
Fang Zhiyi immediately clarified: "No."
"Oh, I also said it was impossible. Although Zhanji is much stronger than the Lunar Eclipse Group in terms of being the worst, he is still a man. The trashy male group leader is extremely arrogant and has a very annoying, cocky attitude. Their philosophy is that the strong are respected, and Chu Jue, you definitely won't get along with them."
Although Chu Jue is strong, he is very low-key and just likes to kill people quietly.
Jiang Tianjiao asked curiously, "Then why did they say that the halberd was made by them?"
Ying Yi thought about it and made a judgment:
"Perhaps because the Lunar Eclipse Group was severely weakened, Zhanji realized that the reputational benefits of admitting to this matter outweighed the drawbacks."
"There was already some friction between them, and Zhanji didn't care who the enemy's enemy was."
The reputation and status of the Lunar Eclipse Group have been steadily rising, and its popularity remains quite high. It's not surprising that Zhanji actively sought to piggyback on this trend.
"Although Zhanji's actions were not honorable, the result will make the other spiritualists believe that their strength far exceeds that of the Lunar Eclipse Group."
And the lunar eclipse group will truly suffer a crushing defeat in this "battle".
In short, seeing that popularity and fame were offered to them, the Zhanji Group seized the opportunity.
"They claim responsibility." Chu Jue seemed to be the delayed party in the call, still stuck on the previous topic.
My feelings are complicated.
She now has a strong possessive desire for the Lunar Eclipse Group, after all, it's full of merit points. How could she let another organization take her merit points?
What's the difference between this and someone coming to your door to rob you?
"No," Chu said calmly. "I'm going to kill them all."
Others: ...
Is this conclusion something that can be reached casually?
That's it, this attempt to ride the wave of popularity is going to ruin Zhanji.

[1999L][User123****1111]: You even steal this?
[2000L][User123****1111]: I killed the person; I never joined Warspear.
[2001L][User123****1111]: @[Warspear] Report your IP address, I'll come and kill you.
War Halberd: ...
Who is this?
Zhan Ji was in a state of agitation, wishing he could jump over the screen and let this 123 know who the strongest spirit master was.
His men quickly comforted him, "Boss, don't be angry! Maybe it's just some nobody throwing a tantrum..."
But someone this bold must have some skill.
"Tsk." Veins bulged on his powerful muscles as he twisted the round table with his halberd. "Didn't you guys say that if we took on this, there wouldn't be any problems? But problems have arisen so quickly."
"Uh..." The men looked at each other, their expressions somewhat embarrassed.
"I never expected the other party to be so stupid. We were already shielding him from the Eclipse Group's criticism, so why would he come out and admit to it? Isn't he offending two organizations at once by doing this?"
"Yes, I just can't understand it at all."
The men chattered and vied to express their innocence, their eagerness to claim credit earlier matched their swiftness in shifting the blame.
"Never mind." Zhanji stopped making things difficult for his brothers.
Although it seems a bit embarrassing at first glance, and there's already a commotion on the forums, both sides have given the same account, so there's no definitive conclusion yet on who's right and who's wrong.
Many people are now focusing on 123's taunts against them.
He had already planned his response: "Didn't he say he was coming to kill me? Then let him come."
"People stop talking when they die."
[2467L][War Halberd]: Stop bragging, come on. [Coordinates Shared]@[User123****1111]

Chu Jue is either killing people or on his way to kill people every day.
She was followed by all the members of Group 111, as well as her entire sect.
"How did it get to this point?" Yun Qiandu was still somewhat incredulous. "This is a one-on-one duel with Zhanji? Zhanji, one of the two major organizations?"
"Um."
Jiang Jingshu was the most relaxed, casually stating that she was about to do something big: "It's not necessarily a one-on-one fight, we're here too."
Upon hearing this, Ying Yi nodded.
Yun Qiandu: "...Is that what I meant! Oh well...but let's fight then. They're just stumbling blocks on the road to success that we have to get rid of sooner or later."
She was infected by this reality and began to introduce some of the characteristics of the battle halberd to Chu Jue.
"This Zhanji is a dual cultivator of spiritual and martial arts. You know the characteristics of a martial artist: lots of muscles and great strength. He also has a well-known weapon, a long halberd. Once he gets close, he's formidable. With the added boost of spiritual power, he's indeed quite difficult to fight."
Ying Yi added: "His weakness is that he's not very bright, and his tactical approach is more like brute force. He got to this position entirely by fighting with his fists."
Everyone added the characteristics they knew:
"Although War Axe and Co-prosperity are two major organizations, the strength of the War Axe group leader far exceeds that of the Co-prosperity group leader. It's just that the Co-prosperity group leader has a better reputation, so in terms of organizational development, it can keep pace with War Axe."
"In the entire Spirit Evolution Zone, the combat power of the War Halberd is among the best. However, when the various organizations fight, there are rarely one-on-one situations; it's usually a chaotic melee where everyone goes together."
"Judging from the previous exchange meeting, Zhanji is quite powerful in a one-on-one situation."
And it can easily take on multiple opponents.
At this point, Fang Zhiyi shook his head wisely: "My disciple can take on multiple opponents without any effort."
She and Da Huang watched for quite a while yesterday, so they were the ones who knew best how strong Chu Jue was.
“Exactly, exactly.” Jiang Tianjiao echoed proudly.
"Woof woof!" Big Yellow expressed its support.
Seeing her senior sister's agile and fierce appearance yesterday, she developed a strong yearning for spiritual energy and wanted to become a powerful species like her.
That's just how dogs behave.
Teacher Fang said this is a kind of "empathy". When the senior sister was fighting monsters, she teamed up with her and gained experience points, so her "awareness" also leveled up.
These words thrilled Da Huang, making him feel as if he could speak and overcome the communication barrier with Jiang Tianjiao in the next second.
How could there be any human being who couldn't compare to such a powerful senior sister?
She, Dahuang, firmly supported her master's school.
Fang Zhiyi put on a teacher's airs: "Your junior is praising you, quickly say thank you."
Chu Jue: "Thank you."
Whether it was Jiang Jingshu and Ying Yi, who were prepared to fight alongside her, or Yun Qiandu, who explained the enemy's weaknesses to her, or even her sect and Jiang Tianjiao, who blindly believed in her, she wanted to say thank you to them all.
It turns out she met such good friends here.
Designer: [。]
Chu Jue: ...
The designer has quietly gone online again.
Why aren't you saying anything? Is it because you don't like it?
Designer: [Good afternoon, X113 armor is not happy to serve you.]
Chu Jue: ...
They can speak now and are starting to get a little emotional.
Suddenly, the letter restriction was lifted, and we were able to communicate fluently. It seems that the accumulated merit points really did have an effect.
Yun Qiandu was quite surprised to catch Chu Jue's smile for that one second, and quickly shared it with the others behind him who hadn't seen it.
"Chu Jue just laughed. She must be under a lot of pressure to do that."
Fang Zhiyi didn't believe it: "How could he be laughing? My disciple is naturally not fond of laughing."
How could Chu Jue possibly make such an un-Chu Jue-like expression?
Being scrutinized by both humans and dogs, Chu Jue didn't revert to her cold and ruthless modeling expression. Instead, she maintained her smile, feeling a long-lost sense of happiness.
Everything at that moment made her feel relaxed.
Chu Jue was friendly to every friend who joked around to relax her, but she wasn't nervous at all—she just went ahead and joked.
It should be the halberd that's feeling nervous.
Yun Qiandu was the first to react: "Oh no, is she giving me a cold laugh...?"
Jiang Jingshu and Jiang Tianjiao: "Hmm... I think so too..."
Ying Yi: "...I understand. Yun Qiandu, don't make Chu Jue angry anymore."
Fang Zhiyi: "It's clearly just facial spasms, it's not that scary to a dog..."
Chu Jue: ...
She retracted her gaze, wondering what she was even smiling at these awful friends for.
She will never smile again. Are they satisfied now? She will never forgive these cold-hearted people...
Designer: 【^^】
The conversation among the group of 111 gradually drifted away, and the designer's system was a bit delayed, still telling her the newly collected corny jokes.
As Chu Jue got closer to the location where Zhanji was sharing the weapon, he could already see the dense mass of black numbers on the other side.
As expected, the other side had not only sent Zhanji alone. In addition to Zhanji's team behind him and the onlookers, there were probably quite a few members of the Lunar Eclipse team as well.
With enemies on both sides, the Lunar Eclipse Group was bound to join in the fun of this "challenge".
They might even take the opportunity to launch a sneak attack; after all, it's not like they haven't done such things before.
As Chu Jue was reviewing the enemy information, he heard a system sound effect indicating the issuance of a mission.
Designer: [A side quest has been posted for you. Please select whether to accept it.]
Designer: [Side Quest to be Accepted: Perfectly Raid the Target]
Chu Jue was somewhat surprised, and only after a moment of confusion did he realize that the designer was impersonating the system to issue tasks, generating two fake notifications for him.
She cleverly exposed his tact: "What about the reward?"
Designer: 【! 】
Designer: [Task completion reward: [Randomly answered questions] *1]
Huh? Such a good thing?
Since the designer was initialized, Chu Jue had long been used to exploring on his own, viewing the designer's existence as a companion. He never expected that she would refresh with such a reward at this time.
Although it's random, at least you can unlock a blind box.
Chu Jue pressed his advantage, trying to get some additional hints: [What constitutes a "perfect plunder"?]
Are there specific standards, or is it a matter of free interpretation?
Designer: [Side quest accepted: Perfectly Plunder Target]
The conversation ended with just that one sentence, and Chu Jue waited for a long time but didn't hear anything more.
Chu Jue: ...
Okay, I'll give up asking.
Chu Jue's gaze swept over the dense array of numbers and he discovered that the average merit value of these people was much higher than that of the previous Lunar Eclipse Group, which had twenty or thirty points.
It seems the audience is of good quality; she would be happy if someone were eager to give her merit points and spiritual power.
Designer: [Your current "pleasure" level is detected to be high; a target has been identified for you.]
Seeing the font size of the excessively large boldface characters increase from 38 to 88, Chu Jue: ...
Is this the locking method? If it doesn't really have any practical function, there's no need to force its use.
Moreover, she said that Fang Zhiyi's racial ability was quite familiar, because the designer's function was exactly like Fang Zhiyi's.
His inner monologue faltered as he began to scrutinize the room, his attention completely drawn to the most prominent line of text in the entire room:
Current Merit Points: 330
In an average of double digits, how could someone have a number marked 330 above their head?
What a fascinating blood pack... the numbers.
Although the criteria for judging merit points are unknown, based on current observations, the stronger a person is, the more merit points they provide.
Such a prominent number might be the name of the halberd.
The unknown strength did not bring Chu Jue the slightest sense of crisis; on the contrary, it made him even more excited.
Who cares who it is? It's just a blood bag delivered to our door.
Kill him, reduce him to zero.
