Chapter 120: Report These Two for Match-Fixing

Jue Se Tian Xiang lost terribly.

Her Shushan Puppet was instantly trapped by Yun Yun Bu Xiang Nai’s Liyuan Sword Formation.

Then, it was relentlessly attacked and its HP plummeted.

Unlike Yi Lian You Meng, Yun Yun Bu Xiang Nai didn’t attack the healer herself.

She believed that since this was a competition, it should be won fairly with real skill, not through cheap tricks.

After more than ten minutes—

Jue Se Tian Xiang used her skills so often that she ran out of Fragrance and conceded defeat.

“Thank you for showing mercy, senior!”

Upon admitting defeat, Jue Se Tian Xiang’s previous tension vanished, and she smiled at Yun Yun Bu Xiang Nai to express her thanks.

She’d thought she’d get slaughtered again this round.

After all, dragging things out with a healer usually took forever; it was easier to save time by attacking the healer directly.

She never expected that this Yun Yun Bu Xiang Nai would actually not do that.

“It’s fine, I’m afraid of pain too. If I don’t have to fight, I won’t,” Yun Yun Bu Xiang Nai shrugged lightly.

“Oh yeah, Sister Yun Yun, you’re so awesome!”

As Yun Yun Bu Xiang Nai returned, You You Bu Hui Nai instantly transformed into a little fangirl, showering her with praise.

“Oh, knock it off. If I were you, I’d be thinking about how to handle Chong Chong in the next match.”

“What’s there to think about? Just watch me pull out the Lazy Lay-Flat Technique and let the big boss have it!”

You You Bu Hui Nai wasn’t stupid.

With such a huge gap in skill, how was she supposed to win?

It’s not like she’s some headstrong fool.

“You really have no backbone,” Yun Yun Bu Xiang Nai rolled her eyes.

“Group Four, Yun Yun Bu Xiang Nai wins. Group Five, Chong Chong and You You Bu Hui Nai, please step forward.”

“Coming, coming!”

Chong Chong rubbed her fists together, raring to go.

But on the other side, You You Bu Hui Nai strolled up unhurriedly.

Her leisurely manner made her look more like she was out shopping than competing.

“Hurry up, little sister,” Chong Chong urged impatiently.

“Greetings, big boss,” You You Bu Hui Nai greeted Chong Chong as soon as she arrived.

This left Chong Chong utterly baffled.

Shouldn’t there be tension, swords drawn?

Why were they being so friendly?

But Chong Chong was no fool—she politely replied, “Hello.”

“Hehe, big boss, why is your Spiritual Energy so high? Got any secrets?”

“Nope, it just went up after playing a while.”

“Wow, that’s amazing!”

You You Bu Hui Nai morphed into a fangirl again, her eyes sparkling.

Chong Chong couldn’t shake the feeling she’d seen this before.

“Unlike me, I’m just a rookie with barely over 800 Spiritual Energy.”

“Have you cleared Abyss Canyon?”

“I have!”

“No worries, just take your time.”

“Mm-hmm, got it, big boss!”

You You Bu Hui Nai and Chong Chong didn’t even fight—they ignored their puppets and just started chatting.

They completely ignored the murderous looks from the audience.

“Have these two bosses forgotten where they are? This is a competition! Why are they just chatting?”

“Out of all five groups, this is the most absurd.”

“We came to see a PK, not listen to you gossip!”

“Hahaha, I’m dying, these two are hilarious.”

“I’m so curious—how do these two manage to ignore everything and just chat right there on the field?”

“Goose, goose, goose, maybe they just have really strong minds.”

Yun Yun Bu Xiang Nai slapped her forehead.

That silly You is at it again.

She’d long since gotten used to her younger sister’s unpredictable ways.

You could never figure out what she’d do next.

She acted entirely on her whims—totally impossible to guess.

“You two, please refrain from doing anything unrelated to the tournament,” the NPC couldn’t hold back and reminded them coldly.

Chong Chong had no choice but to stop chatting with You You Bu Hui Nai.

“Let’s start, or we’ll both get in trouble,” she said, glancing meaningfully around.

“So, big boss, shall we chat after we finish?”

“Sure.”

Chong Chong smiled and nodded.

Puppets entered the fray.

Shushan vs. Divine Strategist.

You You Bu Hui Nai immediately had Divine Strategist activate Super Armor and charged in with a Dragon Break.

The Shushan Puppet dodged with a Blink, then countered with sword strikes and icy shadows.

But the Divine Strategist Puppet was like a rabid dog, chasing the Shushan Puppet relentlessly.

Chong Chong was confused.

Why couldn’t she understand You You Bu Hui Nai’s fighting style?

She’d planned to bait out the Divine Strategist’s Dragon Break, but the other side just used it right away.

Without Dragon Break, the Shushan Puppet could have kept its distance and attacked the healer directly.

But now, Chong Chong didn’t want to do that.

She felt it was a bit shady to attack the player directly—it just didn’t feel right.

Not that she was going soft just because the other called her big boss!

Watching from the side, Chen Xiaoyan felt a bit bewildered by You You Bu Hui Nai’s whole approach.

Was this girl just giving up?

The Divine Strategist Puppet never used a single skill at the right moment.

Whenever a skill came off cooldown, she’d just press it.

Wherever something lit up, she clicked it.

No matter how little you knew, you couldn’t possibly play this badly, right?

And what about Chong Chong—wasn’t she supposed to attack the healer directly?

Why was she just dancing around?

Chen Xiaoyan was filled with questions.

In less than a few minutes, You You Bu Hui Nai decisively conceded.

“I give up! Out of Fragrance!”

The NPC senior sister standing as referee looked like her face was covered in charcoal.

No one could be more perfunctory than this.

Divine Strategist was practically full HP—what was the point of using any skills?

What, got OCD and can’t stand seeing a puppet with even a sliver of HP missing?

A perfectly good tournament duel had ended in such a ridiculous manner.

Sigh~

“Group Five, Chong Chong wins!”

After announcing it, the NPC senior sister didn’t even look at them again, to save herself the headache.

As soon as the NPC finished speaking—

The square instantly erupted with scorn.

“Tch.”

“What the heck? Are we watching some kind of slapstick comedy?”

“Report these two for match-fixing!”

“They’re not battling skills, they’re battling feelings—get it?”

“Damn emotional match.”

“As an audience member, this was the most ridiculous and frustrating match I’ve ever seen.”

“Silence!”

The host NPC shouted.

The square immediately fell quiet.

“Second round participants: Chen Xiaoyan, Chong Chong, Xian Yun, Yi Lian You Meng, Yun Yun Bu Xiang Nai.”

“First match of the second round: Chen Xiaoyan vs. Xian Yun, please come forward.”

Upon hearing this, Xian Yun immediately raised her hand and said to the NPC, “Um… Senior sister, can I concede?”

The senior sister took a deep breath, gave a frosty smile, and spat out a single word through clenched teeth, “Yes.”

“First match, Chen Xiaoyan wins. Second match, Yi Lian You Meng vs. Yun Yun Bu Xiang Nai, please come forward.”

“Senior sister, I concede too,” Yi Lian You Meng also raised her hand.

There was just no comparison in Spiritual Energy or cultivation between her and Yun Yun Bu Xiang Nai.

No way she could win.

At this moment, the host senior sister was emo.

She really wanted to kill them.

If it weren’t for the sect leader and elders watching from the stage, she’d definitely go down there and teach them a lesson.

“Third round: Chen Xiaoyan, Chong Chong, Yun Yun Bu Xiang Nai.”

“Third round, first match, Chen Xiaoyan vs. Yun Yun Bu Xiang Nai, please come forward.”

The clash of the century was about to begin.

Tianxiang’s number one, Chen Ten Thousand, versus the recently renowned Yun Yun Bu Xiang Nai.

Which of these two bosses would win?

The Tianxiang players watching finally perked up—this was the kind of high-quality PK they’d been waiting for.

“Come on, place your bets!”

“I bet on Chen Xiaoyan to win—odds one to one. Bet on Yun Yun Bu Xiang Nai, odds one to ten!”

“Boss, I’ll put a thousand RMB on Chen Xiaoyan!”

“I’ll put ten thousand on Chen Xiaoyan!”

“Twenty thousand on Chen Xiaoyan!”

“Haha, isn’t it a little much for you all to undercut like this?”

“Bet your head—everyone knows Chen Xiaoyan is the strongest!”

“Exactly.”

“Fine, I’ll stop betting, okay? Don’t flame me.”

In the center of the square, Chen Xiaoyan brought her Divine Strategist Puppet to the middle.

Yun Yun Bu Xiang Nai also walked over with her Zhenwu Puppet.

They looked each other in the eyes; the atmosphere grew tense.

The audience stared anxiously, not daring to breathe.

Even usually noisy cheerleader You You Bu Hui Nai was so nervous for her older sister that her palms were sweating.

This was on a whole different level than the previous matches.

Chen Xiaoyan—famed across the entire Immortal World since just a few days after the server opened, a true super boss.

She’d never been dethroned—her strength was obvious.

For a moment, the entire square was utterly silent, so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

“Hello, Yun Yun,” Chen Xiaoyan raised her hand and greeted Yun Yun Bu Xiang Nai.

There was no hatred between them—no need to make it awkward.

“Good morning, Boss Xiaoyan,” Yun Yun Bu Xiang Nai replied, a bit nervous.

After all, the woman in front of her was the undisputed big sister among Tianxiang players—it was impossible not to be nervous.

“Shall we begin?”

“Okay! Yun Yun Bu Xiang Nai humbly asks for pointers.”

She knew she couldn’t beat this legendary figure, but she wanted to witness those miraculous healing skills firsthand.

Chen Xiaoyan smiled faintly.

“I wouldn’t say pointers—I just have a little more Spiritual Energy than you. Not enough to be giving out pointers.”

Hearing this, the players rolled their eyes.

Only a little more?

It was more like a billion times more!

“The big boss really is something else, even when she’s showing off, she does it so elegantly.”

“Isn’t it a bit much?”

“So what if it is? If I were as strong as her, I’d show off even more.”

“Doesn’t anyone know where her skills came from?”

“Nope, next question.”

Yun Yun Bu Xiang Nai suppressed her nerves and excitement, commanding her Zhenwu Puppet to attack the Divine Strategist Puppet from range, hoping to kite and chip away at its health.

Chen Xiaoyan saw through her tactics, smiled at the corner of her mouth, and muttered, “Trying to whittle down my Fragrance?”

You’re out of luck.

“Activate Super Armor, forget defense, go all out on offense!”

She gave a simple and brutal command.

The Divine Strategist Puppet turned on Super Armor, then charged forward with a Dragon Break.

Zhenwu didn’t have Shushan or Yihua’s mobility.

It had a nickname: “Turtle Turret.”

Turtle for its toughness.

Turret for its sword attacks.

In short: tanky and deadly.

The Zhenwu Puppet didn’t dodge the Dragon Break and was knocked into the air.

“Sweep Across the Eight Directions!”

Before it could even land, the Zhenwu Puppet was blasted away again.

【87%】

As soon as it got up, Zhenwu Puppet unleashed Liyuan Sword Formation.

Then it quickly put distance between itself and the Divine Strategist Puppet, launching counterattacks with sword strikes.

【98%】

【92%】

【90%】

In just a few seconds, the flying swords shaved a tenth off the Divine Strategist Puppet’s HP, even in Super Armor mode.

Chen Xiaoyan didn’t react.

Losing a tenth wasn’t enough to bother her.

Yun Yun Bu Xiang Nai threw a Miraculous Hands Rejuvenation onto her Zhenwu Puppet, just in case.

【+738】

【+16】

A level 20 Zhenwu typically had about 5,000 HP.

Divine Strategist had more—over 6,000, almost 7,000.
