The Fourth Calamity: People in High Martial Arts, Gods in Games

Chapter 35 Simulation Match

As Fang Zhen went offline to rest, the entire live stream chat exploded.

"Why did you log off so quickly today? I haven't had enough!"

"Hey streamer, open the door! I want to see the goddess's trembling figure during her cultivation session. I'll pay you, just lie there like a corpse!"

"It's unbearable! They've already started formal training and are even preparing to open open-world dungeons, while we're still in testing and assessment. The worst part is that I can't even last three seconds. I'll pay you. Can anyone help me pass? If you pass, I'll transfer 100,000 yuan to you directly."

"100,000? Dude, didn't you know? A while back, a pro player was invited by a super-rich player to boost his account, and guess what happened?"

"You've already fought them?"

"Yeah, that pro player got beaten up, and he was yelling in pain. The cost of dying and reviving that day exceeded 100,000. That big spender was not satisfied and offered a 1 million reward in the game boosting industry, vowing to pass the test. Now many boosting pros are frantically studying how to beat him."

"Not only that, I heard that Su Wuming, the Wusheng Blade Saint who went on a pilgrimage recently, took the entrance test for Tianwei. The test was for the High Martial Arts Descendant assessment. As a result, his final score was eleven seconds and he failed. Although he eventually joined Tianwei, he became a joke within the pilgrimage."

"I've also heard that a dignified saintly being who is supposed to be a pilgrim couldn't even pass the test assessment for a new game. Many people doubt that Su Wuming's title of Sword Saint is somewhat exaggerated. As a result, Su Wuming made a bold statement that if that saintly being could fight much better than him, he would retire from the pilgrimage and even break away from the Heavenly Might."

"Yes, because of this statement, some of the Saints seem to be willing to give it a try. After all, it is usually difficult for Saints to fight each other during pilgrimages. This is a great opportunity, especially for the other four major guilds. This is a good chance to strike at the Heavenly Might. I estimate that many Saints will give it a try."

"Holy crap! This is amazing! So many pilgrims claim to be saints, if they really come to participate in the test, someone will definitely pass. If we can figure out their method, then we'll have a good chance of passing too!"

As the viewers in the live stream chatted amongst themselves, they stopped caring whether Fang Zhen, the streamer, had gone offline and instead became filled with anticipation for the test and assessment of the arrival of high-level martial arts.

As a masterpiece of martial arts fiction, Pilgrimage is a story where anyone who can be called a saint is a master standing at the pinnacle. For such a group of people to pass the test of the arrival of high martial arts is just a matter of minutes.

In the city of Kuru, at the Storm Shadow Club.

As the morning sun began to shine into the club's small high-rise building, hundreds of people gathered in the lobby on the first floor, all wearing matching blue and white turtleneck jackets with the three-headed shadow wolf emblem of Storm Shadow printed on their arms.

"Captain, all six regular players and 120 reserve players are ready."

A young man with a buzz cut, not yet twenty years old, stepped forward and loudly reported to Li Ranxing, the captain of the Storm Shadow team, while glancing at the time on his phone.

"The coach and the others have gone to meet the Blue Rose team. They should arrive in about five minutes."

"Good, rejoin the team."

Li Ranxing glanced at the six regular players present. Apart from Fang Zhen, the veteran player, who seemed to have some mental issues, the others were in good spirits.

"Gentlemen, although today's match is just a simulation, it is still a very valuable match for us, the Shadow of the Storm."

"Because our opponent today is Blue Enchantress, a regular in the top four of the national tournament. Unless we can make it to the top eight in the national tournament, it will be difficult for us to encounter such an opponent again."

"So I hope you can perform well today. Based on your performance in today's mock match, the coaches will probably readjust the team roster. This will be the final roster confirmation for the national tournament. You can decide for yourselves."

After Li Ranxing's words, all the regular players and reserve players present became solemn, clearly showing that their mindset towards this simulation match had completely changed.

If everyone was just playing casually before, now it's time to fight tooth and nail.

This exchange match between the two teams was divided into two parts. The first part was the official simulation match between the two teams, and the second part was for Blue Fairy to watch the group match of Storm Shadow's reserve team.

Originally, this exchange match was of no concern to the reserve team members; the main focus was on the regular team members. However, according to Captain Li Ranxing, the roster for the national competition has not yet been finalized.

The national tournament in Mech Continent usually consists of seven official players and three reserve players. Each match is a five-on-five team battle, and the lineup will be adjusted according to the venue and the opposing team for each match.

The list is not yet confirmed, which means everyone has a chance to compete for a spot on the official team today.

"Xiao Zhen, are you alright? Why are you shaking so much?"

Li Ranxing frowned as he looked at Fang Zhen, who was trembling in the front row.

Today's simulation match is arguably the one he values ​​most. It's not just about seeing the overall gap between the Storm Shadow team and the Blue Enchantress team, but also about determining a winner against Bloodflame Gunner Chen Ya.

The main reason why the Blue Rose team was willing to have a simulation match with the Storm Shadow team was that Chen Ya wanted revenge. Otherwise, the two teams would not have had the opportunity to have a simulation match at all.

If Fang Zhen affects this simulation match, it will deal a significant blow to the team's confidence.

"Me? I'm fine." Upon hearing this, Fang Zhen immediately stopped shaking his limbs.

"Fang Zhen, you'll be playing backline support later. If I find any problems with you, I'll replace you immediately!" Li Ranxing looked at Fang Zhen with a grim expression. He had originally thought this was Fang Zhen's last match, but judging from Fang Zhen's attitude, he didn't take this simulation match seriously at all.

"Yes!" Fang Zhen quickly replied.

As Li Ranxing turned his gaze to the seven Blue Enchantresses who walked in through the gate, Fang Zhen also breathed a sigh of relief.

What's wrong with me?

Fang Zhen looked at his hands and legs with a puzzled expression.

Ever since Gao Wu descended and logged off, Fang Zhen felt something was off about his body, a vague feeling that his body wasn't his own.

The latest novel is first published here!

This feeling is not that the body is out of control, but quite the opposite. The control over the body is too delicate. Not only can the ten toes bend at will, but every muscle in the body seems to be able to move at will.

It was only because he tried it that Li Ranxing noticed he was shaking, and shaking quite violently.

On the other side, Li Ranxing had already taken the initiative to meet the seven members of Blue Enchantress.

"Captain Chen, I really didn't expect that we would meet again so soon." Li Ranxing looked at the woman in front of him who was at least 1.8 meters tall, with a single ponytail that swayed with her waist. Even with sunglasses on, she was still stunning.

"Captain Li, it's been a long time indeed." Chen Ya put away her sunglasses, her gaze slightly teasing. "Three months have passed. I wonder if Captain Li's skills have improved. If they haven't improved much, then I'll be disappointed."

"I'm sure I'll improve," Li Ranxing said confidently. "Since my debut, no one I've ever surpassed has ever caught up. I definitely won't let Captain Chen down this time either."

"I hope so." Chen Ya stopped looking at Li Ranxing and instead glanced at the game pods that had been prepared in the hall. "I'm in a hurry. I have to go and communicate with the other four teams in an hour. Let's get started quickly."

The other six members of the Blue Enchantress team had no intention of following the Storm Shadow team's instructions and instead headed to the virtual game pods on the side.

This scene made the club members, who were still planning to show off their Storm Shadow strength, look grim, especially the coaches, whose faces were so dark they could drip water. But they could only signal everyone to start the simulation match directly.

Although this exchange and simulation match between the two teams was initiated by Blue Rose, everyone knew that Blue Rose was there for Li Ranxing, and she didn't care about the others at all.

In no time, both teams selected five participants, all of whom lay down in the virtual gaming pods.

"You guys quickly take care of those small fry, and leave Li Ranxing to me," Chen Ya instructed, then clicked the Mech Continent icon to enter the game.

The other four members of Blue Enchantress didn't say anything either. A team that ranked among the top 32 in the country wasn't worth their attention at all, and they immediately entered the Mech Continent.

"I don't know what's wrong with me today, but I feel unusually energetic!"

"Mech Continent Activated!"

Fang Zhen lay in the virtual game pod, no longer pondering what had happened to him, and directly clicked the icon to enter the Mech Continent.
