Chapter 106 Sudden Enlightenment
Chapter 106 Sudden Enlightenment
After advancing, the seven members of the strongest club did not stay to watch the potential opponents' matches like the other clubs.
Hao Ren was left alone to gather intelligence on the enemy; everyone else left.
After a long period of missions, everyone was a bit tired. The strongest guild had just completed a B-level mission the day before the competition.
It's good to keep your nerves on edge, but too much tension can lead to a breakdown. So Mo Xiu is giving everyone a day off. We'll meet again on September 17th for the match.
After the match, Mo Xiu did not go straight home, but went to see Cao Fenglin again.
As soon as he entered, Cao Fenglin said, "You're different now!"
Mo Xiu didn't stand on ceremony and sat down directly, saying, "Really? How is it different?"
"You've matured a bit. Are you still here today to inquire about firearms?"
"Yes, I've been out of town for a while now. I'd like to know how things are going?"
Cao Fenglin said, "Things have improved. There have been no incidents of injury recently, and not even any firearms have appeared."
Upon hearing this news, Mo Xiu's body first relaxed, then suddenly tensed up; things weren't that simple.
Cao Fenglin nodded slightly when he saw the questioning look in Mo Xiu's eyes.
Mo Xiu nodded and took his leave.
Things couldn't possibly be under control; this is... the calm before the storm!
With the advent of firearms, various departments had no choice but to resort to forceful suppression, inevitably leading to a period of calm followed by a frenzied counterattack.
Now that he needed to hurry up and make preparations, Mo Xiu called his mother again, telling her to immediately stop all work and go to find Yue Yuan.
After explaining the situation in Shuncheng, he told all of Mo Xiu's friends the truth: now anyone with connections knows about firearms, so there's no need to hide it.
Things have improved somewhat recently, making it easy to become complacent. Mo Xiu warned everyone he knew to be prepared, emphasizing that it is precisely at times like these that one must not let one's guard down.
Back at the villa, Mo Xiu first went to the room to check on Xiao Fushun. He was still in the awakening state, and it had been half a month. He didn't know how much longer it would take for him to complete the awakening.
September 17th, the second round of the club team competition!
The strongest team in this round is facing the second team of the Xuanwu Society, which can be considered a formidable opponent.
The lineup consists of Mo Xiu, Yang Qingzhuo, Hao Ren, Dong Fang, and He Lingyue. At first glance, this lineup doesn't seem very strong, as two of their strongest players, Du Ya and Liu Ziyang, are not playing.
However, it's clear to anyone with a discerning eye that, apart from the absence of Xiao Lan, the rest of this lineup consists entirely of support-type team members. While the lack of Xiao Lan might slightly reduce their combat strength, their overall teamwork has improved, and Hao Ren is also more tenacious.
Mo Xiu, as always, launched God's Peeping directly at two of the team members!
Skill 1: Explosive Assault 2
Skill effect: After activating the skill, perform a savage charge in the designated direction, with a charge distance of 20 meters. During the charge, defense is increased by 1000%, and effective damage is dealt to the target hit.
Cooldown time: one minute
This skill has obvious advantages and disadvantages. Its advantages are that it has strong defensive capabilities and can be used for both offense and defense. It also has a short cooldown time and can be used multiple times in a match. Its disadvantage is that when used as an offensive tool, it is easily dodged.
Skill 1: Overweight 2
Skill effect: Increases the user's weight to five times their original weight, while also increasing attack power by 200% and defense power by 500%.
Duration: 10 minutes
Cooldown time: one hour
After releasing God's vision, Mo Xiu felt something was off.
The God's Peeping I just used seems a little different, but I can't quite put my finger on why.
Once on the field, the skills are activated subconsciously, as if they weren't released by the user.
It felt like God's vision was released by someone else, who then showed the skills they saw to me.
Wait! God? Spying? Mo Xiu stared blankly at the ceiling.
The referee had already announced the start of the match.
The strongest gang members all looked at Mo Xiu the moment the match started. This was their habit; they listened to Mo Xiu's commands on the field!
But Mo Xiu was staring blankly at the ceiling, not saying a word or making any movement.
Dong Fang couldn't help but ask, "Mo Xiu, what are you looking at? Is there some kind of tactic on the ceiling?"
Mo Xiu remained staring at the ceiling without moving. Yang Qingzhuo and He Lingyue leaned closer to look at him. Mo Xiu's eyes were lifeless, as if he had lost his soul.
Yang Qingzhuo was extremely anxious and immediately tried to save Mo Xiu.
But He Lingyue stopped him, saying, "Don't stop me, I need to save Mo Xiu!"
He Lingyue said, "Little one, don't be impulsive. Have you ever heard of enlightenment?"
Yang Qingzhuo thought for a moment and said, "Enlightenment refers to a deeper understanding of a skill after using it, which leads to a state of enlightenment. Enlightenment is often accompanied by skill upgrades. Are you saying that Mo Xiu is currently in an enlightenment state? And his skill is about to upgrade?"
He Lingyue nodded and said, "This state is very similar, but Mo Xiu didn't use any skills just now, which is really strange."
Hao Ren then said, "There's no doubt about it. Mo Xiu's current state is exactly the same as the information I've researched before—it's an epiphany. But this epiphany is really untimely; it's troublesome."
The Xuanwu Society's second team wouldn't give the strongest society that much time. They hadn't launched an attack immediately because they noticed something strange about the strongest society and feared it might be a trap.
But now it seems that the Great Demon King has entered a state of enlightenment, and this is an opportunity!
The audience gathered on this side, eager to see the legendary enlightenment. That great demon king was already strong; if his skills were upgraded, wouldn't he dominate the first year?
Mo Xiu stared at the ceiling. The five opponents attacked simultaneously, and Yang Qingzhuo and the other three looked tense. This was a big problem.
Dong Fang asked, "What do we do now?"
He Lingyue took over the on-site command from Mo Xiu.
"What else can we do? The four of us can't possibly defeat five of them. We need to protect Mo Xiu, and then... we can only pray that he wakes up soon."
He Lingyue now deeply regrets that the lineup was chosen by her and Mo Xiu at the same time. Why didn't she bring either Liu Ziyang or Du Ya onto the field? Otherwise, even without Mo Xiu, they would still have a fighting chance against the other side.
Besides Mo Xiu, Dong Fang is probably the strongest fighter on the field right now. Yang Qingzhuo didn't hesitate and immediately used his skills on Dong Fang and Hao Ren.
The two of them acted as the vanguard, blocking the opposing group. He Lingyue did not release her skill; she waited until Mo Xiu woke up before using the skill on him.
The opposing team was, after all, the Xuanwu Society, and all five members were offensive fighters. Dong Fang and Hao Ren were quickly defeated in a two-on-five battle and were knocked out of the arena.
Dong Fang and Hao Ren are eliminated!
Neither Yang Qingzhuo nor He Lingyue arrived in time to provide support.
If Mo Xiu doesn't wake up soon, they're really going to lose. He Lingyue had no choice but to use her skills on herself to stop him, but she only managed to delay him for a few seconds before losing.
He Lingyue is eliminated!
Yang Qingzhuo withdrew his skill, picked up Mo Xiu, and was about to run away.
At this moment, the opponent used the skill Burst Assault to crash into Mo Xiu.
If they didn't dodge, Mo Xiu would be knocked out of bounds. Yang Qingzhuo was carrying Mo Xiu, which slowed him down considerably. He could only do his best to push Mo Xiu away, and he himself was knocked out of bounds.
Yang Qingzhuo is eliminated!
The strongest gang is down to only one person, and Mo Xiu is still in a state of enlightenment.
Five against one! A desperate situation!
