Trooper Duel (Bonus Chapter)

How did I manage to beat the game without taking any damage?

Luo Jun thought to himself, "I'm in big trouble. I didn't even withstand those two attacks you mentioned. Even with my shield, I was almost cleaved in two... But I have dice! Dice can be upgraded, and upgrading them restores my full health. Isn't that infuriating?"

These words couldn't be said directly, so after much thought, all that could be said was, "Just good luck..."

Was it just luck? Everyone stared at Luo Jun, completely bewildered, unsure whether this "Night" was being modest or just showing off!

However, Jin Fei's actions served as a reminder to the others: even if they couldn't hear each other speaking, they could still wave to signal, and everyone could help Qi Xingzi come up with ideas.

Thinking of this, everyone waved to Qi Xingzi, but found that a layer of black mist had covered the platform, making it impossible to see Qi Xingzi's figure at all.

Just as everyone was wondering what was going on, a line of large characters appeared in the center of the chessboard.

The pieces are prohibited from communicating with the player in any way; this will not be repeated.

I finally found a loophole, but it was rejected as soon as I was about to put it into practice.

At this moment, in Qi Xingzi's eyes, her teammates on the chessboard all looked like ordinary chess pieces, just like the statues on the opposite side. However, their portraits and statuses would appear on them, making it easier for her to control their actions.

Now that no one can give her any hints, she has to rely on herself. Qi Xingzi looked at the chessboard below, sighed, and then began to operate it.

Cannon moves from rank 8 to rank 5!

He heard a moving sound behind him; the cannon that hadn't moved before was now directly behind Luo Jun.

Luo Jun turned around and saw that the cannon was the same Eyeglasses Woman with a serious and acerbic demeanor who had spoken at the beginning. After being introduced, he learned that her name was Su Linna, that she was Elemental School, especially skilled in Ice Magic, and that she had defeated three competitors to obtain the cannon position.

Everyone immediately understood that Qi Xingzi's next move was to take down Luo Jun's pawn. Once Luo Jun captured the opponent's pawn, the central cannon would checkmate him!

Instead of hesitating, this girl should follow her own ideas; her tactics are very direct.

Now look at the Red Side, the rook moves from the first rank to the second rank, move the rook out!

Directly opposite the red car is the Black Side knight in position eight, the Buzz Cut Muscular Man had applied for the "car" earlier, but he lost the competition and ended up as the "knight".

He was originally hot-tempered and fond of fighting, eager to engage in battle from the very beginning. But now, discovering that the opposing team's soldiers were all highly skilled, like the Scholar's Sword Swordsman, and their cannon had even brought in the legendary Storm Strom, he was starting to feel intimidated.

That's a rook on the other side! It's undoubtedly the strongest piece on the chessboard, so you can imagine how terrifying it must be!

The man with the buzz cut swallowed hard.

"Don't worry, if you get 'eaten', I'll avenge you!" A slightly sarcastic voice offered words of comfort.

The man with the buzz cut turned around, and to his left was a tall woman with thick, long braids. Her name was Duan Feilan, and she was nearly 1.9 meters tall. She was wearing a sports vest and loose shorts, revealing her well-defined muscles in her arms and legs, and exuding the health and agility of an athlete.

It was her who stole the buzz-cut man's "car".

"How could I possibly be eaten!" the buzz-cut man retorted stubbornly. "I'm only letting you have your way because you're young and a girl!"

Although Duan Feilan was tall, his features were delicate and he still had a youthful appearance, so he should be quite young.

"Alright, alright, I believe you won't be eaten!" Duan Feilan said, but she had already started stretching and warming up.

At this moment, Qi Xingzi made his move.

With the sound of the base rubbing together, Luo Jun took a step forward.

Pawn advances to the fifth rank, captures the pawn!

As expected, everyone guessed correctly!

With a sudden change of scenery, Luo Jun and the Scholar Sword Fang Ru opposite him were pulled into the Arena together.

Before Luo Jun's eyes appeared a long-handled broadsword. He gripped it and its specific attributes were revealed.

Name: Siege Blade

Grade: Rare

Description: The weapons of an invincible elite force are thick, heavy, and exceptionally sharp; legend has it that a single strike can cleave through three layers of armor!

Function 1: Sharpness: Possesses extraordinary hardness and sharpness.

Function 2: Moon Blade: Can unleash a powerful Moon Blade to attack enemies from a distance, consuming twenty Breath Vital Energy, with a five-minute Cooldown Time.

Note: Soldiers, charge with me!

A simple yet practical weapon; the bonus for low-ranking soldiers is quite good.

Luo Jun grabbed the Siege Blade, twirled it lightly in his hand, and then clenched his empty left fist.

The weapon was secondary; what Luo Jun truly felt was the 50% Strength Enhancement!

Aside from when he broke through a cultivation level, he hadn't felt such a significant strengthening in a long time!

Feeling a surge of power coursing through his body, Luo Jun looked defiantly at the person opposite him.

No matter if you're a sword that brings life or a sword that brings death, you'll all become a sword of death in my hands!

As the Countdown ended, the Scholar Sword Fang Ru drew his longsword, his steps swift as the wind, and charged towards Luo Jun!

Luo Jun also swung his broadsword and charged forward!

"I said... it must have taken at least ten minutes..."

On the chessboard, everyone looked at the battle symbols floating up and down on the opposite bank of the river, and they were all somewhat worried.

"It only took him two or three minutes to Counter-kill Storm Strom before..." Zong Zhiyong touched his bald head and looked back at Jin Fei.

Jin Fei shook his head. "I don't know what's going on. Storm Strom is definitely stronger than Scholar's Sword, and defense is much harder than offense. There's no reason for it to be this slow..."

"Could it be that Ye is the type who's good at dealing with mages?" Duan Feilan shouted from the other side, "He's actually at a disadvantage against warriors?"

"Impossible!" The crew-cut man next to him curled his lip. "Haven't you seen that post? Night killed the Polluter with a hammer. This guy is clearly a melee fighter, most likely Martial Combat Faction!"

"What could be the reason?" Duan Feilan shrugged.

"Maybe it's a cooldown..." The woman with the bun pushed up her glasses, looked at the battle icon in front of her, and analyzed, "Perhaps, the reason he was able to Counter-kill Storm without taking any damage last time was because of a powerful skill or Noble Phantasm with a huge cooldown. Now that the cooldown hasn't expired, they can't decide the winner?"

"I think there's another possibility," said the eldest White-bearded Old Man. "He does have a skill with a long cooldown, but even without it, he might still win. On the contrary, he's deliberately stalling for time because he knows he can easily defeat his opponent."

"He's stalling for cooldowns? Waiting until he encounters a stronger enemy so he can unleash his Ultimate Move?" Everyone suddenly realized. "There's such a tactic?"

Although the battle is limited to twenty minutes, everyone felt that delaying it as long as possible made sense...

Little did they know, a bizarre scene was unfolding inside the Arena.

A semi-transparent yellow protective shield was placed in the center of the arena. Outside the shield, the Scholar Sword Fang Ru lay on the ground covered in blood. His legs were broken, and his hands were useless. His sword could be seen not far away, but it was broken in two. Although he was seriously injured, he was still clinging to life and could only crawl on the ground.

However, judging from his appearance, although he was trembling all over from the pain, he was still using his last bit of strength to get closer to the barrier, as if he would smash it open with his head.

Looking inside the Earth Barrier, Luo Jun was sitting on the ground, his Five Hearts Facing Heaven, with the Trapping Blade stuck beside him and the Earth Construct resembling a knight statue behind him.

After a long while, Luo Jun let out a breath.

At the same time, a notification sounded in my mind.

"Event ' Realm Breakthrough ' Completed, Event Difficulty 91 points, Severity Tenfold, Final Experience Value Points 910!"
