The Seventh Class Assembles!

"Brother Yun, you promised to help me reach Glory last time! When are we doing it?"

Zhou Da rushed over as soon as class ended, his eyes full of anticipation.

"After 12 tonight," Ling Yun said while packing his schoolbag. "Before 12, I need to push for the Peak Tournament."

"Got it! Brother Yun is awesome!"

Zhou Da was overjoyed. Then he remembered something. "Oh right, Brother Yun, we haven't added each other on QQ yet! Let's add each other quickly so you can call me!" The two swiftly scanned QR codes and added each other as friends.

Back home, Ling Yun, like a precisely programmed machine, opened Honor of Kings on time and began his journey in the Peak Tournament.

This rank (2300+) was already a place where dragons and crouching tigers hid, filled with professional players and top streamers.

However, in the face of Ling Yun's almost inhuman operation, awareness, and game sense, the so-called "top experts" all fell!

Whether it was extreme suppression during the laning phase or his elusive dives and clean-ups in team fights, he displayed a dominance that surpassed the current version!

After battling until midnight, with the enemy crystal exploding for the last time, Ling Yun's record was set at 65 games, a 93.8% win rate, and 2300 Peak points!

He, with undeniable dominance, surpassed the man with the ID 'Sea of Thoughts' (top professional jungler Hua Hai) and reached the Top of the Peak!

Early Monday morning, the rankings were finalized! The shining golden "Top of the Peak" border was like a crown!

[Ding! Congratulations to the host! On this King's Continent, where geniuses gather and heroes compete, you have successfully entered the top 10,000 of the "Genius Ranking" (Peak Ranking)!]

[Quest Reward Issued: Wind Blade Technique!]

[Wind Blade Technique]: Draws upon the power of wind elements, condensing and compressing air at the fingertips to form an incredibly sharp energy blade as fast as a gale, capable of striking enemies from a distance.

[Ding! Host detected to have exceeded quest requirements! Reached the summit of the Genius Ranking (Top of the Peak) with an almost impossible win rate and efficiency! Achieved an epic feat!]

[Additional Reward Issued: Wind Blade Technique has been upgraded to -- Storm Blade Domain!]

[Storm Blade Domain]: Undergoes a qualitative change based on Wind Blade Technique! The host can guide spiritual energy to instantly create a ten-meter diameter "storm domain" around themselves or in a designated area! Countless violent wind blades within the domain spin and cut at high speed, forming a no-dead-zone death storm! It continuously and devastatingly slaughters all enemies within the area!

"Whoa! The bonus reward is really powerful!" Ling Yun's eyes lit up. "Single-target elimination directly turned into AOE clearing! This is a huge win! I need to strive for exceeding quest requirements for all future tasks!"

Just then, a team invitation popped up in the game – Jiang Yingxue was online on time.

As soon as she entered the room, Jiang Yingxue's slightly stubborn voice rang out: "Ling Yun! I'm playing mid lane today! I want to carry! I don't want to be carried anymore!" Her tone was filled with the fighting spirit to prove herself.

"No problem," Ling Yun readily agreed. "But it's perfect timing, I promised a classmate I'd help him reach Glory. Shall we three-man queue? He can play support or sidelane."

"Male or female?"

Jiang Yingxue asked subconsciously, her voice carrying a hint of undetectable nervousness.

"Male, my deskmate Zhou Da."

"Oh... then it's fine."

Jiang Yingxue breathed a sigh of relief, then her voice became softer, with a hint of embarrassment. "But... I have some social anxiety, and I'm not very comfortable communicating with people I don't know on voice chat... I'll just type in the game later."

"I understand," Ling Yun chuckled. "But you seem pretty comfortable talking to me? You talk a lot too."

"That... that's different!" Jiang Yingxue's voice was clearly tinged with shyness, as if she were trying hard to explain. "Maybe... your voice sounds more reassuring? I feel... more relaxed talking to you than even my family..."

After saying this, she felt it was a bit too direct and quickly muted her mic.

Ling Yun's heart warmed, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but turn up. This feeling of being treated specially and being trusted was indeed very satisfying.

Soon, Zhou Da, with the ID 'I'm Raising Pigs on the Frontline' (Rank: Star Glory 2-star 1 star), was pulled into the team.

"Brother Yun! Your ID is awesome! 'S of Honor of Kings'? Are you implying that everyone in Honor of Kings is S... (shit)? Hahaha!"

As soon as Zhou Da joined, he launched into his "trash talk" mode, his laughter extremely infectious.

"Get lost! Can you speak properly?" Ling Yun laughed and cursed. "If you insult your brother again, I'll let you fend for yourself! Hurry up and get ready, there's a beauty waiting next to you!"

"Beauty?!" Zhou Da only noticed there was someone else in the room then. "Holy crap! Brother Yun, are you dating online? You're moving this fast?"

"Dream on!" Ling Yun said irritably. "This is Jiang Yingqing's older sister! She also likes playing Honor of Kings, and we've been playing together often recently."

"Beauty Jiang's sister?!" Zhou Da's voice instantly rose by eight octaves, full of gossip excitement. "She must be a goddess too! Hello, Sister! My name is Zhou Da, Jiang Yingqing's classmate, and Brother Yun's most loyal little brother!"

"Hello Zhou Da, I... it's not very convenient for me to use voice chat, so let's communicate by typing in the game," Jiang Yingxue typed in the team channel.

"No problem, no problem! Sister, please do as you please! Just being able to play with a goddess like you, just looking at your ID is a pleasure!" Zhou Da's "simp" nature was fully exposed.

"Squad Seven assembled! King's Canyon, initiating!" Zhou Da shouted in a strange tone.

If you can't find the book by its title, you can try searching for the author, maybe they just changed their name!

"Good grief, you're a Naruto fan too? You're done for." Ling Yun almost burst out laughing, amused by him.

Entering the BP interface, the three were listed as picks 1, 2, and 3.

Jiang Yingxue immediately locked in Daji, determined to shine in the mid lane.

"Brother Yun, what are you playing? Still carrying the team in the frontline?" Zhou Da asked.

"Of course, real men play the frontline!" Ling Yun's tone was relaxed.

"Huh? Frontline? Brother Yun, to be honest, my main role is also frontline..." Zhou Da's voice carried a hint of awkwardness about conflicting roles.

"It's fine, Brother Yun will guide you. I'll play support and lie down... ah, no, I mean, provide escort!"

Zhou Da's expression changed instantly, and he locked in Zhang Fei.

Ling Yun confidently locked in Ma Chao.

"Oh right, Brother Yun, what's your rank in the Peak Tournament now? We entered too fast earlier, I didn't get a good look at your profile."

Zhou Da asked curiously. Jiang Yingxue also wanted to ask, she hadn't had time to look earlier either.

"Why the rush? Won't you know once the game starts?"

Ling Yun kept them guessing.

"Oh, Brother Yun is being mysterious! Hehe, but I like it!"

Zhou Da continued to play the clown.

Team composition confirmed:

Blue Team (Ling Yun's Team):

Frontline: Ma Chao (Ling Yun) Sprint

Mid Lane: Daji (Jiang Yingxue) Flash

Jungle: Han Xin Smite

Development Lane: Lu Ban No. 7 Flash

Red Team:

Development Lane: Di Renjie Flash

Support: Niu Mo Flash

The loading screen lit up!

Zhou Da's gaze immediately focused on Ling Yun's Ma Chao loading frame—the striking golden "Top of the Peak" border, and the glittering Provincial First Ma Chao emblem next to the avatar!

"Holy—crap—!!!"

Zhou Da's exclamation almost brought the roof down, "Top of the Peak?! Provincial First Ma Chao?! Brother Yun! You you you... have you been living in the canyon cultivating immortality these past few days?! Is this even possible!!" He finally understood why Ling Yun had told him to wait for the game to start.

"Calm down, basic operation, no need to show off,"

Ling Yun's voice carried a hint of Versailles-like laziness, "Getting first place? As easy as drinking water. By the way, my Ma Chao is currently at the National First level, it's just that the Grand National Emblem won't be settled until next month. Cherish this game, it's your good fortune accumulated over eight lifetimes to be able to fight alongside the Top of the Peak and future National First Ma Chao!"

"Yes, yes, yes! Brother Yun is mighty! Brother Yun is awesome! This little brother's glory this season will all depend on Brother Yun's guidance!"

Zhou Da immediately switched to sycophantic mode, his tone so fawning it could drip honey.

At the same time, a message popped up in the chat box in the lower left corner from Jiang Yingxue:

Daji (Jiang Yingxue): So amazing! You're already Top of the Peak so quickly! Unlike me, I still need you to carry me to reach King... [Emoji: Adoration]

She was afraid that if she typed too slowly, it would seem like she didn't value Ling Yun's achievement enough.

Ma Chao (Ling Yun): Thanks for the compliment! [Emoji: Smile] You're actually playing quite well, your awareness is good. Even if you didn't queue with me, you'd definitely be able to reach King solo. Besides, duo queueing with a beauty is a pleasure in itself! [Emoji: Dog Head]

On the other side, Jiang Yingxue, who was lying on the soft large bed, saw Ling Yun's line "duo queueing with a beauty is a pleasure," and two red clouds instantly appeared on her cheeks. Her heart inexplicably beat faster, and she quickly buried her flushed face into the pillow.

"Hey, hey, hey! That's too much!"

Zhou Da wailed dramatically, his tone full of the resentment of a single dog, "I just want to rank up quietly, do you guys have to shove dog food in my face like this? I eat yours and my goddess's (Jiang Yingqing's) during the day at school, and I have to eat yours and my goddess's sister's at night while playing games! This life is unbearable! Brother Yun, you're still the scumbag!"

Ling Yun completely ignored Zhou Da's complaints, controlling Ma Chao, clad in silver armor and wielding the Cold Radiance Spear, he charged towards the frontline with imposing momentum.

Meanwhile, Jiang Yingxue, seeing that Ling Yun hadn't responded to Zhou Da's "scumbag" comment, felt a subtle sense of loss well up in her heart. She controlled Daji and walked somewhat absentmindedly towards the mid-lane river bush.

"Sigh, looks like he thinks I'm too much of a third wheel..."

Seeing that both of them had "fallen silent," Zhou Da chuckled instead, feeling a little smug like a prankster who had succeeded, "Don't worry, little Lu Ban, Brother Da will protect you!"

He controlled Zhang Fei and, with an arrogant stride, headed to the development lane with Lu Ban.
