The newcomers had come targeting the Wardcaster. The supporting squad had bumped into the Wardcaster halfway, then heard that Captain Fang was on the other side. Naturally, they didn’t dare to head over there and instead went running after the Wardcaster.
Jiang Chen repeated his old tricks and dragged them around to separate the squad.
At this time, two death notifications appeared in the chat channel.
[Combat] Tiny Hearts was brutally murdered by Abyss.
[Combat] Lonely was brutally murdered by Abyss.
He said: “Pretty quick.”
Fang JingXing chuckled inside the squad channel.
The next second, another death notification popped out again.
[Combat] s~k was brutally murdered by Abyss.
This was how the temporary 7-man squad lost 3 members in such a short time, like cutting melons and chopping vegetables.
Facing Fang JingXing, they already felt goosebumps and basically didn’t even want to fight him. By now, they had even more trouble gathering the will to fight and instead, turned around and ran off.
Right on time, the members of Indulge arrived successfully and helped block their path.
Fang JingXing chased over there, dispatched them nimbly, and kicked their corpses.
The newcomers were motionless.
Fang JingXing beckoned with his fingers and indicated for them to get up.
The group fell silent for a moment and obediently revived on the spot.
Fang JingXing said: “Look at world chat. It’s because of you guys that it’s such a mess.”
The group hung their heads, not daring to look at him.
Fang JingXing sighed: “If you guys want to PK with him, just ask him. It’s not like he won’t agree.”
He patted his junior’s shoulder and said warmly: “I know you guys had no choice. Just wait right here. We’ll change location in a bit to let you guys fight.”
The group was surprised and looked towards him in unison, not expecting him to be so nice.
Seeing this, Fang JingXing said with a smile: “Did the people who sent you guys here say bad things about me?”
The newcomers lowered their heads awkwardly as their cheeks burned, silent.
They told this to their squad mates. Very quickly, 8 more people came over, in the same group as them. Meanwhile, the people still off in the distance weren’t in the same squad channel. As such, there was no way to notify them.
Avian Ruler said: “Who are you guys?”
The newcomers huddled together, silent.
Fang JingXing said: “Don’t ask. I will handle this in a bit. You guys watch them. I will go find Total Annihilation.”
Avian Ruler said: “En, you don’t need to worry. We split the team. Qing Yan and the others should have found him by now.”
Fang JingXing nodded and asked inside the squad channel. Seeing Xie ChengYan sending coordinates, he went to meet up with them.
There were 15 people here. Inside the Stone Forest, there were still 10 more people.
As Fang JingXing advanced, he asked: “How’s it going over there?”
Jiang Chen said: “No need to worry.”
Fang JingXing looked at the combat channel, which hasn’t updated for quite a while, and said with a smile: “Your speed is kind of slow here.”
Jiang Chen’s voice actually sounded somewhat delighted: “Naive.”
Next to the Stone Forest, there was a small hill, high in terrain and capable of seeing the full view of everything that was happening below.

The tiger said: “His positioning is quite impressive.”
He guessed: “Could he be stacking the warding talismans?”
The rabbit said: “What warding talisman?”
The tiger said: “The ultimate skill for level 70 attack-build Wardcasters, Volatile Storm.
The rabbit was very curious: “What kind of skill is that?”
The tiger explained to him briefly.
The Wardcaster’s outer appearance and apparel usually follow an elegant and refined path, but the name of this skill altered the style drastically. One look was enough to feel the full force of aggression.
Volatile Storm places warding talismans on one or multiple people. The warding talismans can last 25 seconds. Within these 25 seconds, the Wardcaster can explode them whenever he wants.
In addition, he can stack the number of warding talismans. The more he stacks, the higher the blast damage because they’re folded in by layers. Meanwhile, with each explosion, the cooldown time of the skill is also shortened accordingly.
The rabbit said: “That’s pretty strong.”
The tiger shook his head: “You’re overthinking it. How could there be such advantages in this world?”
This skill couldn’t miss. For example, if you stack three, and then accidentally miss on the fourth one, then only three can be counted. Not to mention, if you just happened to be interrupted while placing a talisman or cleansed by a skill that clears conditions, the previous efforts will be completely wasted.”
He pointed down below: “If that group has a previous understanding of attack-build Wardcasters, they’d be able to respond very quickly.”
The newcomers indeed already realized what’s happening.
This Ace has only been using little single target attacks or small ranged group attacks to hit them occasionally. The remaining time, he’s only been dragging them around and playing with them.
“I’ve read skills for attack-build Wardcasters in the past. Is he stacking the warding talismans?”
“Oh, that’s a possibility!”
“That’s not too bad. Why hasn’t he exploded them yet?”
“Who knows, let’s cleanse them first.”
Hearing this, the cleric in the squad raised their staff.
The tiger up above said: “See that? They’re going to be cleansed.”
He clicked his tongue: “If this were Chen Hui Lan Le, he definitely won’t give people the chance. He can seal you until you questioned life.”
The rabbit said: “Hey, that Wardcaster seemed to have sealed them just in time as well!”
The tiger looked carefully and discovered that sure enough, the Wardcaster had struck unwittingly and sealed the cleric’s skills with one move.
He said: “No use. There’s still an exorcist…”
Before he finished speaking, he saw a group of people arrive. There was suddenly a flash of white light on the Exorcist. They were also sealed.
Xie ChengYan, 5cum, and the others sealed the Exorcist as instructed by the Ace. Hearing him say there’s no need to help, they watched obediently to the side.
The tiger said: “Oho, came just in time.”
The rabbit said: “Dad, that whoever Le you were talking about just now, is he your former teammate?”
The tiger said: “No, the captain of another team.”
The rabbit said: “Is he very powerful?”
The tiger said: “Powerful.”
He said reminiscently: “So powerful, it’s a bit unnatural. He played this technique most terrifyingly.”
Stacking warding talismans infinitely within 25 seconds.
Chen Hui Lan Le had a steady hand speed of 5-6 hundred. Under the assistance of his squad mates, as long as he had the space to perform, he could overlay the talismans to a terrifying number. Without this kind of hand speed and awareness, others were incapable of reaching his level.
Were there players within the league in recent years with a steady hand speed of 5-6 hundred?
Yes, even in the last few seasons. For example, Fang JingXing, who had a hand speed of over 500.
But first of all, there were too many restrictions to the Wardcaster’s abilities. Second of all, the player must know how to seize the moment. As such, the class has long since fallen out of popularity. Those great masters, whose hand speeds reached the requirement, just happened to not play Wardcaster. Even though Wandering Dreams optimized the Wardcaster’s skills later on, no one played it anymore.
Du FeiZhou once made a statement back then: After Chen Hui Lan Le, there are no more Wardcasters in Wandering Dreams.
These words still applied to this day.
The tiger said: “Let him explode 10 times and the cooldown time will be cut in half. In other words, while he explodes some other person, he can stack another round back on there. Squishy classes basically die in one round.”
In the Stone Forest below, the first blast sounded, followed immediately by a round of explosions.
The Exorcist, who had received the special treatment, dropped to the ground first and became a corpse.
The tiger said: “Explode 20 times, and the skill can be activated instantly. He can stack the warding talismans continuously during the explosions. Can you imagine that? Back then, 70 was the max level. An instantly casted level 70 ultimate skill, who can block that? Unless you can interrupt him or hope that he will make a mistake and miss— but the scary thing was that he never missed……”
Fang JingXing walked halfway and finally saw the first death notification.
[Combat] Evening Specter was brutally murdered by Total Annihilation.
He smiled and said: “So long and you’ve only killed one person?”
Jiang Chen said: “Watch carefully.”
Before Fang JingXing replied, three more messages appeared instantly.
[Combat] Side Account was brutally murdered by Total Annihilation.
[Combat] Not Eating Lunch was brutally murdered by Total Annihilation.
[Combat] Hand Speed Monster was brutally murdered by Total Annihilation.
He raised a brow and increased his pace, hearing the ‘boom boom’ sound of explosions.
Looking up, he saw several newcomers exploding at the same time. The Wardcaster was gliding between them, still the same old refined appearance, as if the blood splattering in all directions couldn’t even touch him.
In Wandering Dreams, when players kill, there were special effects.
For example, every time the Abysswalker kills a person, the magic inscriptions on his forehead will spread downwards slightly, running from his cheeks all the way to his neck. In the Wardcaster’s case, before selecting a build, his white shirt had dark patterns that disappeared completely after picking the attack build, turning pure white. As such, every time he kills someone, the dark patterns will reappear more and more on his shirt.
[Combat] The Deity of Song was brutally murdered by Total Annihilation.
[Combat] Oh My Liver was brutally murdered by Total Annihilation.
[Combat] Mango Ice Cream was brutally murdered by Total Annihilation.
The dark patterns on the Wardcaster’s shirt gradually connected together.
Amidst the view of the explosions and blood splattering in all directions, a black figure appeared.
[Combat] Don’t Want to Study was brutally murdered by Total Annihilation.
[Combat] Midnight Alarm was brutally murdered by Total Annihilation.
The Wardcaster’s white shirt was dyed completely black.
Fang JingXing breathed heavily as he stared unblinkingly at the other.
A black colored Wardcaster. He has only seen this once when Xie ChengYan showed off Jiang Chen’s video in front of him. This was the second time, and he’s witnessing it in person at such a close distance.
Eyes beaming with light and filled with tears, Xie ChengYan had to grab onto 5cum’s arm tightly to avoid losing his composure.
5cum and the others were completely dumbfounded and looked at the Ace in astonishment.
On the hill, the tiger, who was educating his son on the history and basics, looked fixated at the sight. Still not finished with his long speech, he mumbled: “You have to see it with your own eyes to understand how astonishing it was. Now that was truly the League’s number 1 Wardcaster…”
—Killing anyone and everyone who stood in his way.
Inside the Stone Forest, the last newcomer hit the ground.
The battle ended. Jiang Chen stepped over the corpse-covered ground and walked towards Fang JingXing. The dark marks on his body gradually faded, transforming back to the harmless white.
Fang JingXing stood there motionless and watched as he walked over, step by step.
Having enjoyed himself in the fight, Jiang Chen asked: “Did you resolve everything on your side?”
Fang JingXing acknowledged softly and subconsciously raised his hand towards the Wardcaster.
Lifting it halfway, he suddenly returned to his senses. For a moment, he didn’t even know what he was trying to do. As such, he followed the momentum and patted the other on the shoulder, saying with a smile: “Ace 666.”
5cum and the others also returned from their thoughts and cursed, fuck, feeling like even their entire family was stunned by the sight.
When did Wardcasters become this powerful? How come they didn’t know!
“Ace, so [content=”OP”]Overpowered[/tn]!”
“I’m kneeling. Ace, please accept my knees.”
“I want to play Wardcaster now. Ace, teach me!”
“Unc…Exactly!” Xie ChengYan said excitedly: “Too powerful!”
Seeing them surrounding the Wardcaster, Fang JingXing glanced at him once again and then walked past them to stop in front of the newcomers. He told them to revive on the spot.
The newcomers were all scared dumb, still unable to find their heartbeats.
Fang JingXing gave them a few words of comfort before spewing the same rhetoric as before and bringing them to meet up with the other 15 newcomers.
The newcomers followed behind him in a daze. When passing by the Wardcaster, they glanced at him. Seeing him about to look back, they felt goosebumps in unison and hastily withdrew their gazes.
On the hill, the two people watched them leave. After 5-6 seconds, the rabbit finally said in excitement: “Dad, is that Chen Hui Lan Le you were talking about even stronger than this guy?!”
With an ‘oh fuck’, the tiger looked at his son and grabbed him by the shoulders: “Did you re-re-record a video?!”
The rabbit said: “No?”
The tiger released him and clicked open the guild chat, saying: “Is anyone here? Where are you guys? Where, where!”
The guild members said: “Watching the commotion. Just look at world chat, the young people these days, so vigorous and full of energy.”
The tiger said: “Where?!”
The guild members said: “In a dungeon. Lao-Du and the others are still playing the hidden story quest. What’s the matter?”
“The Wardcaster, fuck!” For a second, the tiger was so shocked, he couldn’t speak: “I just saw an extremely powerful Wardcaster!”
The guild members showed little interest: “How powerful? As powerful as Chen Hui Lan Le?”
The tiger said: “Yes!”
The guild chat fell silent for a moment. Immediately afterwards, the crowd said simultaneously: “—What?”
The tiger said: “Really, no lies!”
The guild members said: “Did you record a video?”
The tiger said: “Too unexpected, I forgot.”
The guild members said: “Fuck, did you see clearly who it was?”
The tiger said: “No, I was far away.”
Before they got angry, he continued to say: “But I reckon it’s most likely that Total Annihilation!”
If Fang JingXing is as clever as Jiang Chen’s sister thinks he is then I’d say he’s now got enough pieces of the puzzle to work out what the picture is.
And if he’s that smart, I reckon he might just hide the fact that he knew and start playing 5D Chess with the whole scenario-
nah man he might as well start playing 8D chess… (does 8D chess exist??)
Sweet execution…heh heh heh. Tiger was too busy talking to record… Thanks for the update 🤣❤️🤣❤️
💖💐💖💐
RESPECT 🔥🔥🔥 TOO POWERFUL 😮😮🥶🥶🥶
