CHAPTER 556: CHAPTER 451: PHOENIX MOUNTAIN? JUST AN ORDINARY PERSON! (4K)_2

Twice in a row!

Two announcements released so coincidentally; even Phoenix Mountain began to doubt himself a little.

The one questioning life alongside him was Phoenix Mountain’s father, ’Feng Qiwu’.

Fuming over the rebellious words sent by his son in private, the furious middle-aged man nearly had a stroke.

After calming down for a while, the strong middle-aged man burst into anger and directly cursed: "It’s your mom!"

"Is it really?!"

Phoenix Mountain was utterly shocked, such a fortunate thing, and the old man had been hiding it from him all along. How unethical!

Seeing the three-character reply from Phoenix Mountain, Feng Qiwu clutched his heart and gasped: "Get lost!"

Oh no~~can’t do this, heartache, headache, how could I have such a foolish son?

If Phoenix Mountain didn’t look almost exactly like he did when he was young, Feng Qiwu would seriously doubt that Phoenix Mountain wasn’t his biological son.

No way, no way, this brat hardly ever takes the initiative to contact me, yet infuriates me. Better put him on the blacklist for now.

Feng Qiwu casually set his own son up with a permanent blacklist and mute package. Maybe once his mood improved, he’d let him out.

"Why is the old man also playing this blacklist and mute game?"

Phoenix Mountain closed the private chat page, looking full of melancholy, and glanced at Li Zheng with resentment: "I’m beginning to suspect that you’re my dad’s real son. How else can you explain the fondness for blacklisting and muting others?"

"Sigh..."

With a complex expression, Li Zheng sighed deeply, raised his hand, and patted Phoenix Mountain’s shoulder forcefully: "There’s no point hiding it anymore. Actually, I... I am your dad’s twin brother from different parents, so in terms of seniority, you should call me uncle."

Phoenix Mountain: "???"

What the heck, twins from different parents!

I was just joking, and you’re out here using family ethics jokes to take advantage of me?

Zhan Zhouzhou pursed her lips and laughed: "Serves you right for always calling Lu Li big nephew. Now you’ve got your payback, haven’t you?"

"Could this be the so-called ’those who take advantage of others will sooner or later be taken advantage of’? "Phoenix Mountain retorted with a dark expression.

"Alright, enough of the jokes." Li Zheng became serious and analyzed: "Actually, this sudden release of an upgrade reward announcement by the Terminal is a matter of course."

Since the Terminal organized an event allowing players to choose participation freely, the rewards and difficulty levels have to match.

Otherwise, what happens when this event ends, and nobody joins future events?

If you want the horse to run, you have to let the horse eat grass.

Even a mule that pulls a mill has a carrot hung in front of it.

If you want Starting Point’s authors to keep posting, wouldn’t you have to vote more monthly tickets or tip a bit more cash?

Same logic...

It’s a matter of subjective motivation.

"Probably the Terminal didn’t expect anyone could clear this event in just seven days?" Yan Guang chimed in: "That’s why the reward was set to the Extraordinary Level initially?"

Lin Fengjiao thought for a moment and softly said: "Maybe the Terminal didn’t expect someone to be silly enough to take unmatched rewards and do high-risk tasks..."

Everyone: "..."

Indeed, when the difficulty didn’t match initially, the team discussed whether to abandon the subsequent challenges.

But considering the potential threat of these variants, they agreed to team up with Li Zheng and continue challenging the event dungeons.

At that time, they only thought they could kill a few to minimize potential risks.

Who knew that while fighting, they would unknowingly be on the verge of clearing it?

"Since the Terminal has upgraded the rewards, let’s see this through to the end and take down the last variant soon." Li Zheng looked at his remaining Original Force, he was still in relatively good shape, enough for another high-intensity battle.

This round’s challenge, Nisha Creek, actually didn’t possess particularly outstanding combat abilities.

However, her strange Invisibility Ability and Anti-Spiritual Power measures were too bizarre, precisely counteracting the strengths of Zhan Zhouzhou and Li Zheng, which made the fight rather difficult.

In fact, if Nisha Creek had one less trick up her sleeve, Li Zheng thought she might not even be as good as Divine Power.

"There’s no rush, I just had a serendipitous moment and gained some Enlightenment in Sword Dao, give me some time to sort through it." Zhan Zhouzhou proposed: "No more than half an hour, regardless of the outcome, I’ll contact you guys afterward."

Li Zheng opened his mouth, wanting to ask something, but in the end, didn’t and just nodded in agreement: "Okay."

"Then I’ll head back first."

Zhan Zhouzhou pulled out an event ticket and left the event dungeon.

After she left, Phoenix Mountain spoke the words Li Zheng intended to say: "Zhan Zhouzhou’s style is becoming increasingly outrageous; did you guys catch those last two moves clearly?"

"That was Sword Qi, wasn’t it? And the kind that’s visible to the naked eye!"

"If I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn’t believe such fantasy stuff exists in this world."

Outrageous?

Fantastic?

It’s indeed outrageous and fantastic!

But upon careful thought, Li Zheng felt like he had seen a similar Technique before.

[Friendly Reminder: Little Enchanting Demon, Myriad Whips Return to the Root.]

The words displayed in front of him awakened Li Zheng, and he turned to look at Mirel, who was bored because she couldn’t understand the conversation.

Zhan Zhouzhou’s final use of "Sword Qi" was indeed very similar to Mirel’s "Myriad Whips Return to the Root."

The difference being, although Myriad Whips Return to the Root had over ten thousand whip shadows, only ten could be transformed into real attacks.

While Zhan Zhouzhou’s "Sword Qi," though small in number at just five, every single one was a real attack.
