CHAPTER 276: CHAPTER 257: THE FOURTH MATCH, IT’S MY TURN.

...

As Shengshi Yiyi just entered the Bluestone formation, a hint of joy appeared on Shengshi Yiyi’s face.

Perhaps today’s winner or loser is uncertain.

Shengshi Yiyi even envisioned her moment of glory, being honored as a "God of Battle" after defeating stable as a mountain.

At the moment when everyone was worried about the upcoming Fang Zhengrong, Fang Zhengrong suddenly made a huge leap forward:

"Powerful Strike!"

With a muffled "bang", the skill missed.

However, Fang Zhengrong instantly closed the distance with Shengshi Yiyi. At this moment, Shengshi Yiyi had just entered the Bluestone formation, preparing to circle around a three-meter-high boulder to enter the formation’s interior.

Just as Fang Zhengrong landed, he took his shield from his left hand with his right hand. With a flushed face, he fiercely hurled the shield:

"Shattering Throw"

The dark red shield, engraved with an angry lion relief, swiftly detached from Fang Zhengrong’s arm, spinning as it flew towards the Bluestone formation.

Fang Zhengrong immediately pulled a longsword from his backpack, sprinting with determination.

People outside the screen were taken aback by Fang Zhengrong’s action, and the next moment the heavy shield smashed into the massive standing bluestone.

With a thunderous "boom", Shengshi Yiyi, beneath the bluestone, was left with ringing ears.

The shield was deeply embedded in the bluestone, with pebbles and dust continuously falling from the giant stone.

Just as Shengshi Yiyi was about to continue forward and hide within the Bluestone formation, she was horrified to see a huge stone section crash down, landing less than half a meter in front of her.

Shengshi Yiyi was startled into a state of shock and fear.

However, years of danger perception quickly kicked in, and Shengshi Yiyi reacted promptly, preparing to dodge the falling stone and run in another direction.

But just that slight delay, coupled with Fang Zhengrong’s improved speed after shedding the shield weight, as Shengshi Yiyi turned around, she suddenly felt the ground shake.

"War Trample!"

"-113"

System: 1 target triggered passive, stunned for 1 second.

Shengshi Yiyi was instantly frightened, her beautiful face pale: How could it be so fast!

"War Strike"

"-256" Critical Strike~

Then Shengshi Yiyi felt a pain in her back, her health dropping sharply.

Before Shengshi Yiyi could recover, Fang Zhengrong followed up with a slash:

"-81"

In just that brief moment, Shengshi Yiyi’s health plummeted by one-third.

Everyone was stunned by Fang Zhengrong’s sequence of actions:

"Is this even possible?"

Especially watching Fang Zhengrong sever the giant stone with the shield and block Shengshi Yiyi, it stirred the crowd’s blood, their faces flushed:

"That move was so damn cool!"

"Mind-blowing!"

Shengshi Yiyi’s shock at this moment was no less than that of the spectators.

However, Shengshi Yiyi, caught in danger, had no time for sentiments. As soon as she recovered from dizziness, she quickly initiated an instant magic backward:

"Fiery Flame Impact!"

"-391" Critical Strike~

Without the shield, Fang Zhengrong’s defense greatly reduced.

As Fang Zhengrong resisted the Fiery Flame Impact, Shengshi Yiyi harnessed the magic’s force to rapidly retreat.

Simultaneously, as Shengshi Yiyi retreated, she turned swiftly towards the Stone Forest, hoping to hide within the Bluestone Forest.

Once inside, Shengshi Yiyi could use the intricate bluestones as cover, turning the current passive state into an active one.

Moreover, with Fang Zhengrong’s defense lowered due to the lack of a shield, it would be easier to kill him.

But while the idea was good, she underestimated Fang Zhengrong’s capability.

Or she underestimated the special ability of Fang Zhengrong’s hidden profession: War Knight.

Just as Shengshi Yiyi was about to turn, Fang Zhengrong suddenly let out a roar:

"War Roar"

"-101"

System: 1 target triggered passive, resulting in 1.5 seconds of chaos.

Originally intending to escape towards the Bluestone Forest, Shengshi Yiyi, under the spectators’ puzzled eyes, turned around and charged towards Fang Zhengrong.

Turning around, Shengshi Yiyi’s face was full of horror.

Amidst exclamations, Shengshi Yiyi didn’t even have a chance to counterattack, soon turning into a beam of white light, disappearing into the Bluestone Forest.

Silence!

Everyone blankly watched the brawny man on the screen, who was now step by step walking towards the shield on the ground, bending over to pick it up.

From start to finish, no emotion could be discerned on his face, neither joy nor sorrow.

Killing Shengshi Yiyi seemed as trivial as an irrelevant matter, without a hint of ripples.

As Chen Ping witnessed her man showcasing his might on the screen for the first time, her face was filled with admiration:

"No wonder you’re my Rong Bro, so impressive!"

...

At this moment, in the e-sports room, you could hear a pin drop.

Shengshi Yiyi walked out of the booth with a frustrated face, pouting:

"I’m at least a girl, right? You didn’t hold back at all, hmph."

"Not gentlemanly at all, no fun."

Song Tianyang recalled what he just saw, instinctively swallowed hard, and looked at Fang Zhengrong: what a scary man.

Then Song Tianyang, still shaken, looked towards Shen Yanhua, who was all excited, thinking to himself: luckily he only has one friend like this.

If there were a couple more like him, wouldn’t all my meticulously planned efforts go down the drain?

Song Tianyang let out a breath of relief:

"Thank goodness."

When Fang Zhengrong walked out of the booth, Shen Yanhua and An Yunfeng immediately crowded around him:

"Rong Bro, you’re amazing, that combo was awesome!"

"Indeed, you’re the number one Shield Warrior, well-deserved reputation!"

Even though it was just a single win that didn’t change much, Shen Yanhua still felt a sense of satisfaction, and some of the gloom from being suppressed earlier lifted.

Even Jiang Zhenguo couldn’t help but give a thumbs up:

"Impressive!"

All the people from the Jiang Family behind Jiang Zhenguo were blushing and whispering among themselves.

If not for Jiang Zhenguo holding them back, they probably would have rushed forward.

However, to everyone’s surprise, when Fang Zhengrong came out, he looked incredulously at Guo Shaojie, who was smiling behind Shen Yanhua:

"Why are you here?"

If he remembered correctly, they should be leveling up in the game. How come they’re here?

Guo Shaojie chuckled:

"Just like you, I’m here to see a friend."

When he said "friend," he glanced at Shen Yanhua.

Fang Zhengrong immediately understood:

"It’s great that you’re here!"

Fang Zhengrong excitedly approached and hugged Guo Shaojie, then asked:

"Did you come alone or...?"

Guo Shaojie winked at Fang Zhengrong and said:

"Everyone’s here, having a meal upstairs."

"Great, great!"

Fang Zhengrong laughed heartily.

Shen Yanhua couldn’t help but feel curious:

"You guys know each other too?"

At this point, Song Tianyang said displeased:

"It’s just one win, but you’re acting like you’ve beaten me, tch."

Song Tianyang then swung the agreement in his hand and turned to Jiang Zhenguo:

"It’s obvious you guys have lost. Uncle Jiang, you know what to do now, right?"

Even though Song Tianyang currently had two wins and one loss, no one thought a fourth match was necessary.

Because Shen Yanhua had admitted that his skills weren’t up to par, and Fang Zhengrong was his last trump card.

So Jiang Zhenguo naturally thought Song Tianyang had won the match.

Thus, when faced with Song Tianyang’s pressuring, although Jiang Zhenguo was displeased, he had to accept his defeat:

And the Jiang family behind him sat back down in silence, although Fang Zhengrong’s victory was inspiring, it didn’t change the final outcome.

The previous joy was instantly wiped away.

Sometimes reality is just that cruel.

In front of the Song Group, a major capitalist in Yuanfeng City, the small Jiang family could only comply.

"Since the agreement is signed, I will abide by it," Jiang Zhenguo said.

With that, Jiang Zhenguo stood up to leave.

At this time, Guo Shaojie couldn’t help but ask Shen Yanhua out of curiosity:

"Didn’t you say it was best of five? They’ve only won two games, how come we lost?"

Guo Shaojie’s words immediately attracted everyone’s attention.

Upon hearing this, Song Tianyang looked displeased and said:

"Who are you? Is it your place to speak?"

To someone like Song Tianyang, Guo Shaojie felt it wasn’t even worth a glance. Instead, he directly told Shen Yanhua in front of everyone’s shocked eyes:

"Let’s continue, I’ll play the fourth match!"
