Chapter 582: Chasing One’s Dreams (1/2)

The Apparition Ring on my finger blinked with a ghastly light as I chuckled softly. “That was only a clone that I created with a skill. It has 75% of my stats but it can’t use any defensive skills. If not, do you think that this group of losers would be able to kill me so easily?”

Lu Buyi’s enraged expression swiftly became one of shock and joy.

Roaming Dragon’s expression turned extremely ugly as he stared at me from the distance. “A clone skill? What the hell! Iron Pardon was actually done in by this asshole’s clone?”

Coldmoon Rose stared at me with a cold look in her eyes as she raised her longbow in the air. She said, “Lu Chen is getting harder and harder to deal with. What should we… do now?”

Inconstant’s eyes also turned cold as he said, “We don’t really have much of a choice left. I’ll go and fight him with a few of our comrades. If I could kill Broken Halberd Sinks Into Sand once, I can do it again!”

Inconstant walked forward and waved his spear in the air, yelling, “Lu Chen, prepare to die! Don’t think that you’ll be able to protect this guild just because you’re here!”

……

I ignored Inconstant as I turned to look at Lu Buyi and the few surviving players of Waste and Burn. I summoned out the Sky Obsidian Greedy Wolf to help them kill the boss before I turned to Lu Buyi and said in a dry voice, “Li Buyi, you knew that the strength of your forces were far inferior to Mad Dragon’s, so why did you choose to fight to the death?”

Lu Buyi: “....”

I continued, “You’re a tactician. Your true value lies in using your stratagems to buff a party. Yet you chose to use magic and physical attacks to PvP. If a support class player chooses to play like that, they will often get the short end of the stick. Didn’t anyone ever tell you that before?”

Lu Buyi balled his hands into fists as he jerked his head up to look me straight in the eyes. He continued staring into my eyes and he deliberately emphasized every single word that proceeded from his mouth, “Yes, that’s true. Tacticians are a support class, but I believe that I can play this class the way I want to. Many high-level tacticians have told me the same things that you just did, but I kept telling myself that I wouldn’t let anyone dictate what I could or could not do. The ones who have already failed will always tell you that you will fail as well! But I believe that a person should chase their dreams boldly. I will master this class with my own style and become the number one tactician in China!”

Lu Buyi nodded his head vigorously before he said excitedly, “Being able to battle shoulder-to-shoulder with Little Heavenly King Lu Chen is my honor!”

I added Lu Buyi into my party after his passion-filled words. After that, I activated my Martial God skill to raise our attack power by 190%. This would greatly boost the damage of his Dragon Vein Art and Vein Splitting Fan skills!

Lu Buyi turned pale as he stared at my stratagem with wide-eyed shock. “What the hell! This attack buff is ridiculous!”

I chuckled before I said, “There’s no need to be shocked. There will come a day when your stratagems far exceed mine. I mean, if you can’t even beat me, then you can forget about ever becoming the number one tactician in China!”

“Okay!”

……

After I finished encouraging Lu Buyi, I brandished my sword and stalked across the battlefield like a prowling tiger. I pointed it straight at Inconstant as I growled, “You, surnamed In! What did you say just now? You said that you were going to fight me for three hundred rounds, right? Bring it on! Do you think I’m afraid of you?”

The muscles on Inconstant spasmed violently as he yelled back at me, “My… my surname isn’t In, dammit! Fuck your grandfather, Lu Chen!”

After he spat out those words, Inconstant took his longspear and charged toward me with several hundred Mad Dragon fighters. I too began to run forward. There wasn’t a single hint of fear on my face, despite the horde of players bearing down on me.

Lu Buyi’s courage soared once he saw me dashing fearlessly across the battlefield. He waved his steel fan boldly in the air as he roared with laughter. “Lu Chen! It was only today that I found out that you are a true hero!”

I chuckled as well. No shit, I mean, I am risking life and limb to uphold justice here. Of course I’m a true hero, dammit!

However, I was just a dumb and clumsy one at best, as He Yi and Murong Mingyue kept reminding me on many occasions.

“Let’s go!”

I activated Ghost Deity Armor as I broke out into a dead sprint. Just before I collided with the first enemy player, I quickly raised my sword in the air and slashed downward, launching Thousand Ice Slash into the most packed group of players. At least fifty people were caught in that attack, and 70% of them were frozen, pinned to the ground. I waved my left hand at them, causing an Ice Cyclon Domain to form around. As icicles violently stabbed into the players caught in the area, the Mad Dragon players began dying one after another. They didn’t even get a chance to be healed by their healers in the back.

While that was happening, Inconstant and his squad finally got within striking distance. Countless blades erupted with energy as they smashed or stabbed into my body. The Crimson Rock Dragon Armor shuddered violently as it was struck from every direction, and a string of damage numbers began popping up above my head.

2245!

1029!

428!

521!

98!

……

Only Inconstant posed any real threat to me. The rest of them were just small fry. In fact, a few of their magic knights could only deal double-digit damage to me. I couldn’t help but chuckle every time they tickled me with one of their attacks.

However, I couldn’t get cocky, because even an elephant could be brought down by a horde of ants. If I wasn’t careful, this endless rain of attacks would bring me to my knees. Besides, Coldmoon Rose’s attacks were still as deadly as ever.

I violently slashed at a group of players in front of me with Burning Blade Slash!

Clang! Clang! Clang!

Inconstant leaped forward to tank my attack! He braced himself behind his shield, using his Holy Shield skill to absorb those three burning blades of sword energy. Sparks flew in the air as they exploded against his shield, three damage numbers flying above his head.

4101!
