"National Destiny: Global Tower Climbing Skills Drop by 10,000 Times": Explosive word-of-mouth and rave reviews!

The two walked past the campfire and arrived at the next final boss – the 'Waterfall Beast', a huge turtle-shaped beast with scalding waterfalls flowing over its body and steam appearing and disappearing above its head.

Ye Fei took a deep breath.

He had seen this boss before, and he felt both happy and worried about it.

The good news is that it's not a "Soul Fish," and it has both an intangible form and a card, which is a devastating blow to his infinite solution approach.

The worry is that it's not 'Grandma Le Jia'. Her slow growth and agile absorption characteristics have almost no impact on his Infinite Sword Forging, making it the easiest situation to fight.

As for the 'Waterfall Behemoth', its Deathrattle mechanism is like a sword hanging over its head, accumulating every turn.

This means that he must complete the activation before the deathrattle damage exceeds his maximum health tolerance.

This is no longer a tactical game, but a race for survival.

But as long as he can successfully launch it before then, there is still a glimmer of hope, which is why he chose to take the "Starry Sky Infinite Flow" route and gamble on it.

Ye Fei spoke into the phone microphone, his voice lower than before:

"I can only promise to do my best to help you with this boss; there's no guarantee we'll win."

Chu Liang, however, seemed quite relaxed. He typed a line of text in the chat box:

"It's okay. Getting this far is enough. Just fight as hard as you can."

Ye Fei didn't say anything more. His eyes quickly swept over Chu Liang's hand, the draw pile, and the discard pile, his brain working at lightning speed.

The order of playing cards in each round, the choice of deleting cards each time, and the allocation of every resource must be precise to the extreme, with no waste whatsoever.

He must complete the startup in the shortest possible time!

Soon, Ye Fei's instructions came in like a flowing stream. This time, the instructions were more cautious and more frequent than before.

Chu Liang's fingers flew across the keyboard, barely pausing to think, simply following along flawlessly.

Two rounds, three rounds, the Deathrattle value of the 'Waterfall Behemoth' has begun to accumulate, and the atmosphere has become extremely tense.

The audience below the stage held their breath, completely focused, no one spoke, all eyes were on the big screen, trying to see something.

Chen Hong sat opposite him, feeling uneasy. He was afraid that Chu Liang would pull off that incomprehensible move again and turn the tide.

But he was powerless to do anything and could only pretend to play a few defensive cards. For the first time, he felt that even as a "vampire" deliberately dragging down his teammates, he could become so desperate.

Because Chu Liang's actions just now had almost broken through the limitations of the two-player mode. He could feel that even against three or four people, as long as his world-destroying greatsword was forged, they could win no matter what.

Thinking of this, his mind went blank. He was speechless. Chu Liang used his strength to shatter all his malice and scheming in that single sword strike.

But he had to take responsibility for the failed order, becoming the real clown who jumped off the beam.

However, just five rounds later, at the start of the sixth round, Chu Liang had already finished deleting cards and once again played that mysterious infinite loop.

He watched helplessly as the greatsword above Chu Liang's head grew larger and larger until it almost covered half the screen before he stopped playing cards.

"Chop!" Ye Fei gave the order.

The 'Waterfall Beast', which was still gathering its strength, had its health bar emptied by this sudden sword strike.

The screen flashed, and the boss's health bar turned into an infinity symbol in the middle. Its body began to tremble violently, steam spewed from its head, and it let out a low roar.

A red bomb icon has appeared above its head, indicating that it will trigger a deathrattle explosion in the next round.

"It's up to fate," Ye Fei sighed and closed his eyes.

He dealt 35 points of damage, while Chu Liang only had single-digit health left. He searched his deck and could only find one "Particle Wall" as a defense.

"I'll see you off." Chen Hong murmured, and finally played the 'Meteor' card in her hand for the first time, putting a layer of "weakness" on the 'Waterfall Beast'.

The damage indicator at the top, which originally dealt 35 points of damage, instantly became 26 points.

Ye Fei opened his eyes, looking somewhat excited:

"Play another Radiance!"

Upon receiving Ye Fei's command, Chu Liang immediately understood his meaning. After casting "Radiance+", he restored two points of starlight and cast "Particle Wall" again.

Ye Fei counted again: 6 HP, plus 18 points of block, totaling 24 points, while the deathrattle damage was 26 points, plus 2 points of damage.

Just 2 drops of blood short!

He pondered for a moment, then finally gave the final instruction, his voice cold:

"I've done my best, this is all I can do for you."

Chu Liang watched this scene with a surprising sense of relief. He moved the mouse and clicked "End Round," and Chen Hong immediately followed suit.

"Bang!"

The body of the "Waterfall Beast" exploded into countless boulders, and the two "crown princes" fell together on the game screen.

"game over……"

The system displays a settlement page.

The waiting room was suffocatingly quiet; everyone's thoughts were still stuck on the shocking scene they had witnessed just seconds before.

"it's over……"

"So close! Just a tiny bit more!"

"He did his best. There was nothing he could do. Anyone else in his shoes would probably have collapsed long ago."

"Shouldn't he advance? With that kind of play, who could pull it off a second time?"

"Let him win! Let him advance!"

The noise grew louder and louder; some people were shouting, and some were cheering.

Chu Liang stood up from his chair, his expression relaxed, as if he had just experienced a great battle.

He took off his headphones, smiled slightly at the audience, and said in a calm tone:

"I lost, I failed the tryout."

Then he slowly turned around and walked towards the door.

The murmurs gradually subsided, and no one shouted anymore. They all looked at each other with sympathy and admiration.

As soon as he finished playing, Ye Fei immediately left the live stream and went to the restroom.

Inside the live stream, however, the scene was quite different. The comments were scrolling faster than ever before, making it almost impossible to read the content of each sentence.

But everyone is basically asking the same question: Who exactly is "I am Hei Xi"?

"Holy crap! Who is this person? Someone who understands the crown prince even better than the 'Sword Demon'."

"Where are the others?"

"Isn't that insane? He managed to turn such a huge disadvantageous start into a game like this?"

"Is it some profession that's helping him out? I don't understand this at all."

"It would be strange if you could understand it. Look at Brother Sword Demon, he was completely dumbfounded."

"Impossible! This must be a frontline professional pretending to be a fan."

Someone followed the account and searched around, discovering that it belonged to a warrior player. Besides some comments on warrior videos, there were also some clips of Chu Liang's live streams that were collected, clearly indicating that the player was also interested in the "Crown Prince".

Apart from that, there was no other useful information to be found. He was neither a professional nor a streamer; you could say he was just a complete stranger.

"Can't find it, absolutely can't find it!"

"Just a casual viewer, a fan who frequently watches Sword Demon's livestreams."

……

Just as Chu Lianggang reached the door and was about to leave, a hand suddenly reached out from the side and blocked his way.

"Wait a moment."

The sound was familiar, yet jarring.

You Shao stood by the door, one hand holding the Buddhist prayer beads he had picked up again, and next to him stood a tall security guard, the one who had reached out to stop him.

His expression was complex, with a cryptic smile playing on his lips, and his gaze fixed intently on Chu Liang.

"Given the outstanding performance of this player in the previous match, and after comprehensive evaluation, Zixia has decided..."

"This candidate will be admitted exceptionally!"

The waiting room fell silent again, and everyone's gaze shifted from Chu Liang to You Shao, and then back to Chu Liang.

Chu Liang stopped in his tracks.
