CHAPTER 284: CHAPTER 265: SETTLING THE DUST

The Elf Race is located in the Mist Forest south of Cyan Dragon City, which is the most pleasant of the Four Major Cities in the Hua Country District.

Different from the other three cities, around Cyan Dragon City you can truly feel the meaning of gentle winds and sunshine, and an everlasting spring.

Because of this, the Elf Race located within the Mist Forest of Cyan Dragon City has been unanimously voted by all players as the Peach Blossom Spring in this game, much loved and admired.

Therefore, no matter when you arrive at the Elf Race, it is almost always bustling with a constant flow of people, lively and prosperous.

What’s more, the many handsome men and beautiful women of the Elf Race add a unique charm to the place.

But on this day, players within the Elf Race suddenly noticed a dense cloud covering the sky above Hundred Flowers Slope.

The dense clouds were accompanied by deafening thunder and lightning, appearing extremely intimidating.

In the instant the clouds formed, in merely the blink of an eye, five formidable bolts of lightning struck consecutively, leaving the players witnessing this scene in shock and awe.

Many players who saw this scene even took the opportunity to tease:

"Is some fellow cultivator over there undergoing a trial?"

Some thought there was some mysterious treasure appearing, each rushing out of the Elf Village in a race towards that location.

Fearing that if they were a step too late, this great ’fortune’ would be snatched away by others.

However, when someone arrived at that location on Hundred Flowers Slope, they were surprised to find nothing left but scorched marks on the ground, struck by lightning.

Let alone any mysterious treasures.

...

In the real world, at Jinfudu Hotel in Yuanfeng City

Everyone in front of the screen was dumbfounded, as if they had rehearsed in advance, watching the big screen with eyes full of shock and disbelief.

This posture lasted for a few minutes before someone took a deep breath and said:

"No wonder he’s the number one in the game, terrifying!"

The words revealed the inner shock and awe that couldn’t be hidden.

Recalling that scene just now, a chill ran down everyone’s spine, sending shivers despite the warm surroundings.

They all thought, if they faced Feng Hua, would there be any chance of survival?

The answer was: definitely not.

At this moment, they understood why in the game, almost as soon as people opposed Feng Hua, they eventually sided with him.

It’s just because Feng Hua is too formidable. To oppose someone like him, one would definitely be sleepless and restless.

...

Just moments before:

The Lone Wolf, who was evenly matched with Red Eyes in the previous round, appeared as helpless as a baby in front of Feng Hua, with no strength to fight back.

Especially those high damages in excess of a thousand dealt by Feng Hua, which stunned the onlookers.

At that moment, in the eyes of everyone, Feng Hua was practically a humanoid boss, terrifyingly powerful.

In front of Feng Hua, with a Magic Attack of over 3000, the 26-level Lone Wolf was almost instantly killed by Lin Yi in a face-off.

Not to mention a Leather Armor Thief like the Lone Wolf, even before progressing through the Third Transformation, hardly any Shield Warriors could withstand Lin Yi’s attacks.

After the initial shock, everyone quickly displayed ecstatic expressions:

"Feng Hua God won, Feng Hua God won!"

"I knew Feng Hua God wouldn’t let us down, hahaha~"

"What Lone Wolf, Double Wolves, in front of our Feng Hua God are they not just like trivial pests, unable to withstand a single blow!"

Perhaps it was Lone Wolf’s previous actions that elicited disdain;

Or perhaps it was the long-standing charm accumulated by the character of Feng Hua.

At this moment, it erupted fully.

Originally, it was just an ordinary duel, but right now at Jinfudu Hotel, it felt like celebrating the New Year, everyone wore excited smiles, and some girls were even moved to tears of joy.

After the excitement, some began to tease Lone Wolf:

"Honestly, that skill scroll Lone Wolf used at the end looked quite spectacular."

Someone followed up loudly teasing:

"That was Five Thunders Strike the Top after all, how could it not be spectacular?"

"It’s a shame that such an excellent Skill Scroll was wasted. If auctioned, it’d probably fetch quite a bit of money, haha~"

"Bang!"

In the electronic sports room’s cubicle, the Lone Wolf, after logging out of the game, fiercely slammed the gaming helmet to the floor, shattering it into pieces.

However, the Lone Wolf didn’t spare it a glance, immediately turned around and opened the cubicle door.

Opposite him, Lin Yi also opened the door and came out, the two suddenly locked eyes.

Lin Yi’s face unexpectedly broke into a smile saying:

"Thank you for letting me win!"

While the Lone Wolf glared fiercely at Lin Yi:

"I will retrieve today’s humiliation from you one day, just wait and see."

After saying that, the Lone Wolf put on his black baseball cap again and walked off the high platform.

Watching the Phantom of Lone Wolf, Lin Yi chuckled without a care:

"I’ll be waiting."

After stepping off the high platform, Lone Wolf walked through the crowd, opened the door, and left the place,

During which Song Tianyang remained silent, his face expressionless, uttering not a single word.

Until Lone Wolf’s departure, everyone woke up as if from a dream:

"We won, we won!"

Suddenly, two streams of hot tears burst forth from Shen Yanhua’s eyes.

Seeing Feng Hua swiftly and decisively defeat Lone Wolf, Shen Yanhua felt his blood boil with excitement.

The mix of excitement, tension, and worry was a feeling he might never experience again in his life.

But fortunately, after so many twists and turns, the clouds parted and the moon shone through, they finally won the victory!

Shen Yanhua quickly rushed forward to grasp Lin Yi’s hand, tears in his eyes:

"Thank you, Feng Hua, thank you!"

It’s often said that men don’t easily shed tears, but only because they haven’t reached their deepest emotions.

Lin Yi looked at Shen Yanhua and chuckled:

"Glad I could deliver."

Though he wasn’t the protagonist, Lin Yi could fully understand Shen Yanhua’s feelings at this moment.

If there was an irresistible force trying to separate him from Zhang Xinying, he would probably do something even crazier than this man in front of him.

Jiang Zhenguo looked on with satisfaction, finally able to breathe a sigh of relief.

Behind Jiang Zhenguo, the older members of the Jiang family laughed heartily, as carefree as children:

"This Feng Hua really lives up to the name, truly impressive!"

"Indeed, that move just now got my old bones all fired up."

"Oh, how I wish I were a few decades younger to gallop with them on the battlefield!"

"But this Shen Yanhua really kept himself well hidden!"

"Who knew he knew such remarkable people, seems we’ve all missed out on that Jiaying girl."

At this time, someone didn’t forget to speak with the air of a seasoned elder:

"Well, as we age, our eyesight deteriorates, isn’t that normal?"

After saying this, they laughed heartily among themselves.

If there were a word to describe these people’s feelings, it would surely be "exhilarating," satisfying!

While everyone was caught up in the joy of victory, only Jiang Zhenguo remained composed, turning to the lost-looking Song Tianyang:

"Master Song, what do you say now?"

It wasn’t until Jiang Zhenguo spoke that everyone snapped back to reality.

They all turned to look at Song Tianyang, who just a moment ago was so high-spirited and arrogant.

Perhaps the suddenness of the defeat left Song Tianyang unable to accept the outcome for a moment.

It took a long while for Song Tianyang to react, looking up at those who seemed eager to see him defeated.

Song Tianyang looked around, finally focusing on Shen Yanhua, and coldly sneered:

"You must understand that the people who beat me today were not you, but them!"

Song Tianyang pointed at Lin Yi and the others, his adam’s apple rolling up and down without managing to speak his mind.

In front of everyone, he vented his frustration by violently tearing the contract in his hands into pieces, scattering them to the side.

As the fragments fluttered, Song Tianyang said harshly:

"I, Song Tianyang, keep my word, and I will remember what happened today."

After saying this, Song Tianyang left the arena without looking back.

No one seemed surprised by Song Tianyang’s departure, and no one bothered to say anything.

However, Jiang Zhenguo suddenly called out to one of the middle-aged men behind Song Tianyang:

"Jiang Yi, are you going to keep making mistakes?"

The middle-aged man named Jiang Yi paused for a moment, then also left without looking back, following Song Tianyang.

Seeing this, the Jiang family sighed:

"In the end, we’re family, is this necessary?"

Someone else saw the situation clearly:

"Everyone has their own ambitions, let him go."

After Song Tianyang left, Shengshi and his group approached Lin Yi to greet him one by one:

"Sorry for the trouble today, please forgive us."

In fact, had they known that they were up against Feng Hua’s group today, they wouldn’t have come, no matter how much money was offered.

But unfortunately, there are no ’if onlys’ in this world.

In any case, in the game, the relationship between Shengshi and Feng Hua’s group was still good.

Last night’s ’Treasure Hunt’ went smoothly thanks to Lin Yi and his group’s help.

Since they met here, they felt it was only right to say hello.

Luckily, they hadn’t given Feng Hua too much trouble, otherwise, they’d be in for a scolding from Shengshi Drunkard when they got back.

But after this experience, they also truly realized the terrifying strength of Feng Hua’s group.

After bidding farewell to Shengshi’s members, the people Song Tianyang brought had completely left.

Lin Yi then said to the red-eyed Shen Yanhua:

"Since it’s over, shouldn’t we get ready to pick up the bride?"

At this time, Jiang Zhenguo stood up and said:

"Let’s go, don’t keep my precious daughter waiting for too long."

Just as everyone was about to leave, Ning Wenliang suddenly pushed open the door and entered, with an apologetic smile on his face, asking:

"May I ask who is Feng Hua?"
