Confessing to someone who thinks I'm a fat otaku, and then crying when monsters descend?

The nerdy guy, Xiao Cheng, easily caught Chu Long's lightning attack.

This scene truly shocked everyone present!

"How is that possible?!"

Li Yunwei almost intervened; she was afraid the man would be killed by the other party.

But who would have thought that he would easily parry the opponent's attack...

Something's wrong with him!

This was not his own decision at all; it seemed as if someone was manipulating him from behind.

Li Yunwei hurriedly looked around, but she couldn't see Chen Nian, who had already used "Shadowless".

Qin Yu and her large group were also in a state of intense shock, their mouths agape, unable to close...

"Xiao Cheng is only level 30... Is he really that strong?!"

"This is unbelievable!"

Only Deng Rongrong and the other two, after a brief moment of doubt, were overjoyed.

They knew, of course, that it wasn't that this person was particularly skilled, but rather that someone had secretly intervened!

Who could do something like this without anyone noticing?

Only aged!

Chen Nian used "Ethereal Serpent" to manipulate Xiao Cheng's body and slowly raised his right hand.

"Ah... my hand, my hand moved by itself?!"

Word of Power, Flame Burst!

Boom!

As Xiao Cheng pointed, a ball of flame suddenly exploded.

One of the opponents was blown away on the spot, his body charred black, and it seemed he wouldn't be able to stand up for a while...

"Holy crap?"

Xiao Cheng stared at his hands in disbelief, three question marks appearing above his head.

Holy crap, am I possessed by a ghost?

Before he could react, his finger pointed at another person.

Boom!

A fierce burst of flames erupted beneath the opponent's feet, like a volcanic eruption.

Another person collapsed and couldn't get up.

"Well done!" Qin Yu couldn't help but cheer, thinking that his money was well spent and he had actually hired a master.

Deng Rongrong and the other two were marveling at how incredibly powerful Bu Yu was!

Without even showing his face, he can manipulate others into fighting with his incredible skills, transforming a skinny, nerdy guy into someone possessed by a demon—it's terrifying!

"Where is it?!"

Li Yunwei's gaze swept across almost every corner of the scene.

However, they still couldn't find any trace of the "person behind the scenes".

She couldn't confirm whether the person who made the move was Chen Nian, but besides Chen Nian, who else would care about this mess?

"Boss! This guy is really strange!" Yang Yan couldn't help but swallow, sweat already beading on his forehead.

As a powerful individual, Chu Long naturally noticed that something was amiss.

He's being manipulated!

Could it be the ability of a "puppet master"?

Or is it some kind of superpower similar to "telekinesis"?

Alright, I didn't expect there to be a real powerhouse hidden here. Since you don't dare to show yourself, I'll just blast the people you're controlling to smithereens.

"If you're going to play tricks, then don't blame me for being impolite."

Chu Long made a gun gesture with his right hand.

His left hand was gripping his right arm, making him look like someone with a teenage angst.

Suddenly, an electric current gathered throughout his body and converged on his right index finger, and a terrifying surge of lightning energy was about to burst forth!

"Holy crap, run!"

"I'm going to die... I'm going to die..."

Those around Xiao Cheng practically scrambled to their feet and fled to the side.

Xiao Cheng was all alone.

Of course he wanted to escape, but he couldn't escape at all; his legs wouldn't budge!

"Oh my god... no way."

As his legs trembled, Chu Long's "Thunder Spear" shot straight at him.

Focus on one thing, and you'll reach the pinnacle!

The Thunder Spear is an extremely powerful single-target attack skill with unparalleled penetrating power. If an ordinary person is hit head-on, they will surely die!

Chu Long was certain that this attack would either kill or cripple his opponent.

He's not afraid even if he kills someone. A powerful player like him is a valuable asset for Linhai City in its fight against the Blood Moon Calamity, and he can't be held accountable.

But what happened next made his pupils suddenly shrink!

The lightning spear, which resembled a divine sword, was blocked by a transparent wall. Its terrifying energy was completely neutralized, without touching Xiao Cheng at all.

"impossible!"

Chu Long shouted out instinctively.

As the highest-level player in Linhai City, no one in the entire city could easily withstand such a powerful attack.

What gives him the right?

Of course, it was Chen Nian who took the hit from the lightning spear.

He simply used the "Invisibility Technique," making him invisible to others.

As for how he took over, he simply stood in front and did not take any special measures.

With Chen Nian's additional defense of "500" and constitution of 100, this thing hit him like a tickle, without even causing any external damage!

Xiao Cheng was already in tears from fright.

While he was crying, his hands continued to move uncontrollably.

Fireball!

Fireball!

Fireball!

One by one, Chu Long's men were blown away by the erupting flames, completely powerless to fight back!

In the end, only Yang Yan and Chu Long remained.

Xiao Cheng raised his hand and aimed it at Yang Yan first; this was the man who had stolen Qin Yu's equipment.

"Boss!"

"This guy is fucking weird, how am I supposed to fight him!"

Chu Long coldly replied, "What's there to be afraid of! His attack methods are too simplistic. They might be useful against low-level newbies, but do you think they'd be effective against you or me?"

His analysis was actually correct.

Flame Burst is one of the lowest-ranking Words of Power from Chen Nian. Its only advantage is its ease of use. Since Chen Nian's attack power is not high, its power is also not very great.

But he's not limited to just one move.

Word of Power - Flame Burst.

Word of Power—Lightning.

Word of Power - Wind Demon Cut.

Fire, thunder, wind.

The three kinds of spiritual power intertwined and struck Yang Yan simultaneously.

Yang Yan screamed and collapsed to his knees. His body was charred black and covered with countless bloody gashes cut by the wind; it was a gruesome sight...

"......."

Chu Long subconsciously took two steps back.

Simultaneous use of three elemental attacks?!

Elemental mages are usually proficient in a single element, such as lightning. I've never seen one use multiple elements together like this!

At that moment, he finally realized just how terrifying the person behind him was...

It's an existence I can't possibly challenge!

I wonder how this woman managed to bring such a powerful figure into the picture? Linhai City truly is a place where hidden talents abound; rank doesn't necessarily reflect strength.

Continuing to fight would only bring shame upon ourselves.

"I surrender."

Chu Long had no choice but to surrender, raising his hands in resignation: "I'll return the equipment to you, and I apologize on behalf of the guild."

His gaze was directed forward, but not at anyone; instead, it fell on the empty space.

Because this apology was addressed to Chen Nian.

Chen Nian did not make any further moves, and canceled the control of the Void Serpent. Without support, Xiao Cheng's legs went weak, and he was unable to stand up on the spot.

"Did we win?"

Qin Yu was still confused.

But when that epic piece of equipment was back in her hands, she was overjoyed.

Xiao Cheng became a great contributor, and everyone else had to call him "Big Brother," but those people were unaware of the truth.

The only ones who truly know the truth are those few who know Chen Nian's identity.

"Quick, let's go find Chen Nian!"

Qin Yu said happily that she couldn't wait to give the equipment to Chen Nian, lest something unexpected happen.

Uh... Brother Chen Nian is right here, where are you going to find him?

The group couldn't help but complain inwardly.
