The Variable

The next day

Old Wang, who had a match today, didn't spend much time with Lin Qimeng. Old Wang logged on rather reluctantly.

"Alas, the land of gentle pleasures truly is a hero's grave; the ancients were right!"

The first few matches today were quite intense; judging from their encounters, they've all done a lot of studying of each other afterward.

However, the match that everyone is most looking forward to is the one where Old Wang plays, because they can make stable financial investments.

After what happened with Leng Feng yesterday, Old Wang's odds have returned to 1 to 1.1. This time, no matter who stirs up trouble online, the odds won't go up.

Old Wang did consider intentionally losing a match to profit from the losses, since he only needed to Claim the Championship and didn't need to win every game.

However, after thinking about it, he realized that everyone was just trying to get a reward, and betting on him to win was a way of supporting him. If they were to exploit him like this, it would be too unethical.

The main reason was that he didn't really need the reward, so the matter was dropped, and countless investors escaped a disaster.

After Leng Feng and another player finished their match, it was Old Wang's turn to play.

His opponent in this match was Wang Xinghe. Old Wang experienced the Blazing Wyvern descending from the sky up close, which was indeed very cool.

However, Old Wang, who possessed the inheritance of the Azure-Winged Dragon, could tell at a glance that the control of the Blazing Wyvern Beast form in front of him was not yet at the beginner level.

This road was clearly developed independently, without any guidance from Master.

"You're not piloting the Blazing Wyvern correctly. Although the Wyvern form is a beast form, it's still you controlling the beast form."

You are ultimately a human, not a dragon. Don't try to become a dragon. Just control him like you would a mount!

Transforming into a dragon is not the right path.

Old Wang had a good impression of Old Wang Xinghe, so Old Wang gave him a piece of advice.

Don't underestimate this saying, Thousand King the saying goes, true knowledge can be conveyed in a single sentence, while false knowledge can fill countless volumes.

The more Wang Xinghe pondered Old Wang's words, the brighter his eyes became. After thanking Old Wang, he chose to concede defeat.

He finally realized that this person wasn't just lucky; his one sentence had saved him from countless detours.

"What's going on? This Wang Xinghe is supposed to be the leader of a gang, and he's already surrendered?"

"What else can I say? I can only say that the Thousand King of Gamblers is awesome! He repelled the enemy with just one sentence!"

"Wang Xinghe, you've embarrassed yourself!"

"You're not shameful at all; you don't even have the chance to go up there and embarrass yourself!"

While the Player were debating heatedly, Old Wang faced his next match. This time, it was still him, and his opponent was the only Mecha among the ten that he hadn't encountered before.

This is a water-attribute agile Mecha, and also a very low- Mecha one.

This Mecha was so unassuming that if it weren't for the fact that it was Old Wang's opponent in this competition, Old Wang wouldn't have even realized that it was currently in second place.

He had never faced Old Wang or Leng Feng before, yet he hadn't lost a single match. If Old Wang hadn't played one more match than him, they would both be tied for first place.

That's a bit much. Even though he didn't encounter Leng Feng or himself, his record shouldn't be so insignificant!

Even Wang Xinghe lost to him, so why is he still not famous?

Old Wang stared at the Mecha with a Tai Chi tattoo on its chest and secretly braced himself; he didn't want to crash.

"3!"

"2!"

"1!"

"0!"

"The match begins!"

After the familiar countdown ended, Old Wang threw several bolts of lightning at the Mecha in succession. If these bolts hit, even a Great Immortal couldn't save him.

But the other party performed a magic trick for Old Wang, and after a Yin-Yang Taiji Diagram appeared in front of him, all of Old Wang's lightning was absorbed into it.

Old Wang could clearly sense his lightning being channeled into the Underground, a sight that made Old Wang eyelids twitch.

Who is this expert? I've never even heard of this skill Old Wang.

"May I ask who you are?"

After his attack failed, Old Wang immediately moved away from the Mecha in the meeting and asked the other party a question.

"Martial Alliance, Chen Baidi!" the pilot of the water-attribute Mecha said leisurely.

"The Martial Alliance? Is that the force behind the Mount Hua Sect and Wudang? So you have experts of your caliber?" Old Wang.

"It's not accurate to say it's a powerful force behind the scenes. The Martial Alliance is actually a collection of martial arts forces, and both Mount Hua and Wudang are part of the Martial Alliance!" Chen Baidi said.

"You people seem to know a lot more than we do. Could you tell me about it?" Old Wang asked again.

"I'm afraid that won't work; we've signed a confidentiality agreement!"

"That's no fun, please!"

"Please!"

After exchanging a few perfunctory pleasantries, Old Wang drew his Dragon-Rising Jian, unleashing countless spells towards Chen Baidi.

Chen Baidi remained calm. The Yin-Yang Taiji Diagram in front of him began to operate, and all of Old Wang's attacks were guided onto the diagram and then spread underground.

Just when Old Wang was at his wits' end and was preparing to use the River Styx Armor, Chen Baidi made his move.

He was incredibly fast, arriving in front of Old Wang in an instant. He didn't use teleportation; he was genuinely fast.

Old Wang felt a flash of blue light in front of him, and the light was already in front of him. Old Wang tried to use Flash Step to create distance, but his Flash Step skill failed the first time he tried to activate it.

Only then did he notice that a large Yin-Yang Taiji Diagram had appeared beneath his feet, enveloping the two of them.

"Domain? No, I'm not being suppressed by any attribute, it's just that I can't use any skills other than water attribute skills, it's False Domain!"

After checking his condition, Old Wang said...

Old Wang's words made Chen Baidi's eyes flash, and then he said, "You really are very knowledgeable!"

"You flatter me! You're too kind!" Old Wang said.

As he spoke, the other party rushed up, and a sword made of flowing water slashed towards Old Wang.

Old Wang instinctively used his Dragon-Rising Jian to block the sword, but after being blocked by the Dragon-Rising Jian, the sword curved into a strange arc and struck Old Wang directly.

Fortunately, his attack power wasn't very high, and Old Wang didn't lose much health.

Old Wang became somewhat irritated by the relentless attacks, and a blue light flashed in his eyes as an ice ring burst forth from the Lord of the Elements's body.

But this attack disappointed Old Wang again. The opponent was immune to the control effect of the Ice Ring, and the water attribute attack failed to harm the opponent, instead restoring their health.

His health bar, which had been reduced due to the damage reflected by Old Wang's passive ability, was instantly restored to full, and some of the excess health was even converted into a shield.

Old Wang's gaze sharpened slightly upon seeing this; it seemed the other party had come prepared!

All of this was prepared for myself; I was determined to bring him down!

After Old Wang's first attack failed, his opponent seized the opportunity to close in and land several blows.

This person's attacks were incredibly graceful; although piloting Mecha, he still gave off an aura of a celestial being descending to earth.

Compared to him, Old Wang seemed like a complete idiot.

You can't hit it, you can't defend against it.

The audience's hearts were in their throats again, but because of the lessons learned from the previous times, Old Wang still had plenty of health left, and some people didn't rush to jump out.

Despite the opponent's relentless attacks, Old Wang remained calm and collected. He patiently endured the attacks and finally found an opportunity, delivering a powerful frontal strike that left his opponent with no way to dodge to the left or right, forcing them to retreat and evade.

Old Wang finally managed to create some distance between himself and his opponent, but he didn't easily try to fly out of the Bagua diagram. Instead, he stood far away on the arena and confronted the man.

"Is this all the skill level of the so-called invincible Thousand King of Gamblers? His reputation is well-deserved, but his abilities are far from commensurate!" the man said, looking at Old Wang's serious demeanor.

Old Wang didn't say anything, he just watched him silently. Although the skills on his equipment were also disabled, the passive effects of the equipment were still there.

Now, with his feet firmly planted on the ground, his health is rapidly recovering, and Old Wang is analyzing the principles behind his skill.

Seeing that Old Wang remained silent, the other party intensified their Taunt:

"From today onwards, you shouldn't call yourself the number one gamer; you should change your name to the number one coward in gaming!"

The match has a time limit. Given the damage I've done to you, I'll win when the time is up.

Based on the countless Player placed on you, I think they'll tear you apart with their criticism, right?

I'm actually looking forward to this day, but I don't know if my booming Future can hold out.
