The King's Avatar: The Sword Immortal Returns

Chapter 38: Interactions during the exhibition match, the fun with Mu Cheng... Let's jump around!

"The rules for this exhibition match are simple: everyone climbs upwards, and the first person to reach the top will receive a prize!"

Mo Qian wasn't interested in the reward at all, but he could play with Mu Cheng. However, in this kind of climbing game, well, swordsmen really don't have much of an advantage. Swordsmen are more comfortable on the ground, so he could only slack off in this exhibition match.

"The exhibition match begins!"

As the starting signal sounded, Su Mucheng and Chen Guo launched their flying cannons from their spots. Don't be surprised; who do you think taught the boss how to use his flying cannons? It was Mo Qian who personally trained them.

"Waaah—Boss, you finally learned it—"

Only Ye Xiu knew how long it took Mo Qian to teach his boss this little trick of the flying cannon. Mo Qian truly wasn't exaggerating when he said it was more tiring than playing three consecutive days of high-intensity matches—but he finally succeeded. After learning the flying cannon, Chen Guo was even excited to learn the technique of pressing the gun.

However, Mo Qian cunningly assigned this "simple" task to Ye Xiu. You see, teaching the boss how to use the Flying Cannon isn't actually that difficult. In essence, the Flying Cannon is just an advanced movement technique, which has always been characterized as "easy to learn but difficult to master".

However, gun control is completely different. Gun control is a skill that is "difficult to learn and master." It is not something that can be learned so easily, much less mastered so easily. Therefore, Lao Ye may be destined to be unlucky.

At this moment, Ye Xiu was completely unaware that Mo Qian had secretly tricked him. He was sitting in the audience, leisurely watching the exhibition match. However, he saw that Mo Qian was actually at the very back, slowly climbing the tower. Su Mucheng was almost at the top of the tower, but Mo Qian was still at the bottom.

"Huh? Where's Mo Qian? Why is he down here? Humph!"

Su Mucheng initially assumed Mo Qian was following her, as his skill and hand speed made it entirely possible. However, when Su Mucheng turned around, Mo Qian was nowhere to be seen; there was no one behind her.
At this moment, Su Mucheng was ranked first, followed by Boss Chen Guo, who was struggling to climb the ranks using his unfamiliar flying cannon. Third was Xiao Tang, who was quietly climbing the ranks. As for fourth, it was naturally Mo Qian, who was slacking off.

"This guy's slacking off—even my grandma could do that faster than him!"

"Why don't you try getting your grandma to come over? Haha, but this guy is really slow."

In fact, some viewers were right, but there were also some discerning people who saw through Mo Qian's trickery.
"Wait a minute, did you guys notice that every single block this kid jumps onto seems to be in the exact same position?! Even the distance between them doesn't change, and he even controls the jump distance perfectly!!!"

"Seriously! Holy crap!!! Is this something a human could actually do?!"

You might think Mo Qian was slacking off, but actually, he was secretly testing whether his fundamental skills had regressed. As it turned out, not only had his fundamental skills not regressed, but they even seemed to have room for improvement. No one knew why, but it seemed as if his fundamental skills had evolved once again.
Professional players all know that Sword Immortal's fundamentals are arguably the best in the league. There's no professional player with more refined fundamentals than him. Ye Xiu has the most basic and unpretentious playstyle, and Sword Immortal has the most basic and unpretentious fundamentals. Never try to compete with Sword Immortal in fundamentals; you'll understand what true terror is. "Huh??? Why is Mu Cheng coming down again? Wasn't she just one step away from reaching the summit?"

The commentator looked at Su Mucheng with some confusion as she almost reached the top of the mountain but then came down again. Was she going to let the water out of her way?
Under everyone's watchful eyes, Su Mucheng slowly flew down using the flying cannon, stopping when she was almost at Mo Qian's position. After stopping, Su Mucheng followed behind Mo Qian, imitating his movements, jumping up little by little. However, it was clear that Su Mucheng's movements were not as skillful as Mo Qian's.

However, they do look a lot like two little rabbits hopping around, which is quite adorable.
"It turns out that Mu Cheng saw that our last contestant was a bit too slow and didn't want to embarrass him, so she specially jumped down to give this audience member some encouragement. Mu Cheng is so kind."

The commentator completely filled in the blanks with his own imagination, even leading the audience astray. Su Mucheng's purpose wasn't to encourage Mo Qian at all; she was clearly just there to have fun. The commentator's interpretation completely distorted the truth.

"Could it be that Mu Cheng really came here to comfort this guy?"

"Probably, but didn't someone say he's a master?"

"You just believe him because he says he's an expert? Don't you have any thoughts of your own? It's probably just that our Mu Cheng saw this young man was too slow, so she took pity on him and came to help him out—"

"Yes, that makes sense!"

Everyone believed that Su Mucheng had come to encourage the young player, and had no other intentions.

"Haha! Little Tang, I'm here! I'm here!"

Chen Guo was so focused that she didn't notice Su Mucheng suddenly disappearing. She thought Su Mucheng had already reached the top, only to find out that she was the first person to reach the top.

"Huh? Where's the great Mu Cheng???"

Chen Guo stared blankly at the empty platform at the top, lost in thought.
