: Battle Against Chu Zihang

....................................

Chu Zihang!

"Brother Crow" stared in disbelief at the figure that appeared on the stage.

"That's impossible, why would Chu Zihang come to a place like this?"

The other players had similar expressions of surprise.

This is Chu Zihang!

He is one of the main characters in "Dragon Raja", and compared to Lu Mingfei, he is more like the protagonist.

A tragic backstory, the same looks as herself, formidable strength, and oh yes, the unforgettable tale of a star-crossed lovers.

If this "Dragon Overlord" template were placed in other books, wouldn't he be the undisputed male lead, the undisputed center of attention?

"Fly Bro" was relatively calmer. After thinking for a moment, he spoke:

"Nothing is impossible. In the original story, Chu Zihang did learn kendo here. It's normal for him to come here during his vacation."

Of course, if you really want to know why, then everything can be attributed to the invisible hand of "Xuanyu Company".

That makes sense.

"Brother Crow" nodded. "But Lin Zhiying is probably in trouble. No matter how strong he is as the number one player, he might still suffer a setback when he meets Chu Zihang."

"Fly Bro" agreed, saying that no matter how strong the players are at this stage, they can't possibly be a match for "Chu Zihang".

Even disregarding "Word of Power" and "Level," Chu Zihang would definitely have a clear advantage over the players in terms of swordsmanship skill level.

So Lin Zhiying is probably going to run into a brick wall this time.

The next moment, "Fly Bro" watched as his friend "Crow Bro" made an unusual move.

"Crow Bro" grabbed the edge of the ring and shouted towards the stage:

"Waaah, Senior Brother Chu, you've finally arrived! This guy is too arrogant, shouting that he could take on ten of us. You have to teach him a lesson for us!"

Along with "Fly Bro" and other players, as well as the NPCs in the venue, everyone was baffled by "Crow Bro's" behavior.

Wait a minute, you were just supporting "Lin Zhiying" a moment ago, how come you've switched sides so quickly?

However, his words garnered support from the other NPCs at the Musashi Kendo Training Center, who chimed in with their agreement:

"That's right, Senior Brother Chu needs to be taught a lesson."

"Senior Brother Chu, Master has been ambushed by this guy. You must avenge him!"

"Fly Bro" nudged "Crow Bro" with his elbow and whispered to him, "Aren't you afraid of offending Lin Zhiying by doing this?"

"Brother Crow" patted his chest. "Scared? But so what?"

"Speaking well of him may not necessarily bring any benefits, but speaking well of Chu Zihang can definitely increase his favorability."

"Besides, I have never favored either side. I just feel that Chu Zihang's strength is more authoritative."

After hearing this, "Fly Bro" was speechless.

He finally understood: he would help whoever won.

Although it's a bit shameless, it's very much like what players do.

As things stand, Lin Zhiying's prestige is not yet great enough to surpass Chu Zihang's.

This is especially true for ordinary players like "Crow Bro" who haven't witnessed his performance firsthand.

On the contrary, professional players like "One Cut to Cut Water" are more aware of the gap between themselves and "Lin Zhiying".

He shook his head slightly. "But I don't think a fight will break out. Lin Zhiying should also be well aware of the difference in strength between him and Chu Zihang."

"So I think he'll probably just admit defeat."

....................................

On the stage, Lin Zhiying paid no attention to the little farce that was happening offstage.

More cheers won't bring any more bonuses; more criticism won't diminish your experience.

For players, skill is the most important thing.

Sweat dripped from his forehead onto the ground, and his hand holding the bamboo knife was also a little damp.

Chu Zihang put a lot of pressure on him.

Standing there, Chu Zihang looked like a fierce tiger descending from the mountain.

He didn't move, but Lin Zhiying knew that tigers could eat people.

"Admit defeat and go apologize to the curator."

Chu Zihang held the wooden sword upright in front of him, his eyes expressionless, except for a fleeting glint of something when he saw Lin Zhiying's golden eyes.

What should I do?

Should I really admit defeat?

Lin Zhiying gritted his teeth and drew his bamboo knife.

With a "crack," it collided with Chu Zihang's bamboo knife, and then slowly pulled away. He answered with his actions.

Do you want him to admit defeat?

no way!

Didn't I trigger the quest for nothing?

Chu Zihang's appearance was indeed unexpected.

In his previous life, someone saw Chu Zihang at the "Musashi Kendo Training Center," but no one actually had any interaction with him.

It is an indisputable fact that Lin Zhiying's current strength is inferior to Chu Zihang's.

But this has nothing to do with whether he admits defeat or not.

What is he doing at the "Musashi Kendo Training Center"?

It's for practicing swordsmanship and increasing proficiency.

Even if you lose a match against a master like Chu Zihang, you can still greatly improve your skills.

If that's the case, why should he admit defeat? Not only will he not admit defeat, but he will fight Chu Zihang with all his might.

Look at how big the gap is between your current strength and his.

Moreover, Lin Zhiying wasn't without a chance; there were only five minutes left in the mission, so this was a victory!

In front of everyone, Chu Zihang couldn't possibly use his Word of Power. And in terms of bloodline alone, he was also an A-rank, making this a double victory! (Note 1)

Chu Zihang will inevitably underestimate his strength, which has made him an arrogant soldier, and an arrogant soldier is bound to be defeated. This is the third victory!

I have three wins, and Chu Zihang has zero wins, making this four wins!

Then you can keep doing nested nested dolls indefinitely, so why should you admit defeat?

"Fly Bro" in the audience was surprised to see the two clash.

He didn't expect that Lin Zhiying would not only refuse to admit defeat, but also seemed to really be trying to challenge Chu Zihang!

The next moment, as if he had thought of something, he quietly turned on the game's built-in recording function.

Chu Zihang looked at Lin Zhiying, who had come to greet him, and a strange light flashed in his eyes. He nodded slightly in agreement.

Courage should never be mocked. Since he wants to take action, I am willing to play along.

Chu Zihang slowly walked to the center and bowed to Lin Zhiying face to face.

At least at this moment, he deserves my respect.

"Chu Zihang, please guide me!"

Lin Chih-ying reciprocated with the same courtesy.

"Lin Zhiying, nice to meet you!"

The next moment, the two moved, and their bamboo knives collided with each other at different angles and with different forces.

....................................

Some readers have said that my writing is not good, and that is true.

Then how about I practice more in the future, add more descriptions and such?

But I feel like this is a bit of a sloppy writing style?

As you read through, you'll notice that some of my chapters are quite concise.

Some plot points could have been split into two chapters, but I wrote them all together.

Sigh, newbies don't really understand this stuff.

……

Note 1: Regarding Chu Zihang, some say he originally had a B-grade bloodline, and only improved to A-grade due to his high "Bloodlust". Here, we will use A-grade for the time being.
