Fang JingXing said: “Chairman, we really do have something to do.”
He also never imagined someone so mature and composed as Du FeiZhou would come up and immediately suggest a dogpile.
With the Wardcaster’s temper, not retorting back instantly was already very good. To avoid an awkward standoff, Fang JingXing had to step in.
Du FeiZhou has always loved going straight to the point.
He knew that his words could easily be misunderstood, so he explained: “We are all professional gamers in the past, some have not touched Wandering Dreams for many years, only coming back to play recently. Normally, we don’t have that much time to level up so our levels are much lower than you. That’s why we want to PK with you as a group.”
The people behind him chimed in as well.
“Just look, our lowest is only around level 40. You’re almost level 80.”
“Not to mention, our reaction is not as fast as you youngsters.”
“One round of PK is only a few minutes.”
“That’s right, the main reason is because we’re too curious about you.”
“If that’s really no good, we can send 10 people and you can have people on your side supporting you, how’s that?”
Jiang Chen said: “Then just wait until you guys are max level to fight. Describing yourselves like such noobs, it’s not even fun to kill you all.”
Fang JingXing: “……”
Nice, here comes the jibes.
The Old But Vigorous members fell silent as well.
Hey kid, how are you so disrespectful to elders!
Du FeiZhou still remained very calm and asked: “How about I fight you myself?”
Jiang Chen said: “For what reason?”
Du FeiZhou said: “It’s been very long since I pk’d with a powerful Wardcaster. I want to try.”
Jiang Chen was startled briefly.
In the keyboard version, the attack-build wardcaster had really high requirements for hand speed.
Throughout the years, gaming geniuses who reached the criteria just happened to play other classes. As a result, in the last 30 years, there has never been another Wardcaster who could seal God.
Du FeiZhou visited his grave every year. Did the other ever mention this before?
Has Du FeiZhou ever felt it was such a pity? And thus consequently, after hearing about him, the other wanted to come exchange a round with him?
Seeing him remain silent, Du FeiZhou didn’t force him: “If it’s really not convenient today, we can arrange for another time, or wait until we’re max level……”
Jiang Chen interrupted, saying: “Come.”
He looked at the people on the opposite side: “What IDs did you guys use in the past when playing esports?”
The Old But Vigorous members said: “Ah?”
Jiang Chen said: “Curious.”
We’re sorry for MTLers or people who like using reading mode, but our translations keep getting stolen by aggregators so we’re going to bring back the copy protection. If you need to MTL please retype the gibberish parts.

“Ktja’r gluta, lo sbe kjca ab tjnf j ubbv ilof, sbe tjnf ab ifjgc ab ibbx jtfjv.”
“Do not worship this uncle. This uncle is only a legend.”
Jiang Chen said calmly: “Say it and we fight. Don’t say it, and it’s goodbye.”
The Old But Vigorous members: “……”
Can you respect your elders just a slight bit?
Jiang Chen said: “I’m in a rush. Choose one out of the two. You guys have 3 seconds.”
The Old But Vigorous members: “……”
No way, why do all slightly powerful Wardcaster have this kind of shitass temper?
If they remember correctly, Chen Hui Lan Le seemed to have behaved like this as well?
Perhaps it’s a good idea to let this kid go watch some videos.
When he’s done, he’ll know just how powerful the uncles were!
As such, they quickly reported their competitive IDs.
It was only after saying them that they realized he might not be able to remember them. He probably really did just ask out of curiosity.
Jiang Chen froze once more.
There were actually 5-6 people that he recognized amongst this group.
One of them was actually a teammate that he played with back then.
The career of an esports player was too short, only a few years.
After eating that youthful bowl of rice, you either transform and remain in the esports circle, or leave forever, submerged in the crowd of people.
After he woke up, he once researched his old teammates. Thirty years later, they’ve all gone missing at this point, probably married and settled down, living a normal life. Originally, he thought they’d only meet again after his identity is announced or exposed to the public. Unexpectedly, he encountered one right now.
His feeling became complicated for an instant. Seeing these people just happened to be relatively higher levels amongst the group, he said: “You guys can pick out a few.”
The crowd was very happy and felt this kid was actually pretty cute.
Originally they wanted to send 10 people, however hearing someone mentioning that this terrain was not as favorable as the Stone Forest, they restrained themselves slightly and only selected 8 people.
The crowd entered the nearby forest and got in formation.
Fang JingXing asked in the chat channel: “Do you need support?”
Jiang Chen said: “No need.”
They’re so low in level that their damage was greatly reduced. He can definitely tank it.
Fang JingXing said with a smile: “Then good luck, Ace. I’ll cheer 666 for you.”
Xie ChengYan couldn’t tell if he felt emotional or excited. Suppressing this sweet and sour feeling, he said: “Ace, do you best!”
Jiang Chen nodded and activated PK mode. Seeing that they were ready, he charged right at them.
The Swordsman raised his hand and cast an immobilize, then instantly followed by a sword thrust…… exactly the same as before.
Both moves missed. The Warrior immediately swiped his spear horizontally, wanting to restrain him. This person swung wider than normal and needed to move half a step forward…… Oh, the skill deterioration was obvious.
Jiang Chen moved aside and evaded, thinking to himself, Du FeiZhou should be taking action right now.
He ducked subconsciously.
An arrow enveloped by an aura of ice missed him by a smidge and shot into the tree trunk behind him with a bang.
“Oh damn, that reaction speed!”
“It’s so nice to be young.”
“Here I thought we could create an opportunity for Lao-Du with our two moves.”
“Lao-Lin, Lao-Xia, move further away. You guys are the only ones who can cleanse conditions amongst us. He will definitely seal you guys first.”
“Understood., you guys watch your distance. Don’t run too far away. If you’re out of our skill range, you can only pray for luck.”
“That goes without saying…… damn, is he starting already?”
Inside the forest, Jiang Chen sealed the Swordsman’s movement with one attack and swiftly stacked a round of warding talismans on him and the nearby close ranged characters. Then he instantly detonated them when the staff of one of the supports raised and started glowing with light.
“Damn!” Lao-Lin spat out a mouthful of blood: “This kid is too cunning!”
Purposely choosing to detonate right when he used his skill.
Not only was he unable to save his squadmate, he wasted a skill, which entered cooldown.
“God dammit, how did he explode 5 times in such a brief period!”
“Amazing, how much time did he reduce his cooldown by with this round?”
“Why’s he so impatient?”
“He’s not impatient. He has no one to help, so he knows he can’t stack that many layers.” Du FeiZhou said: “Lao-Zhang, be careful. He’ll most likely kill you off first.”
During the time span of their conversation, Jiang Chen already threw a bunch of warding talismans on the Swordsman.
The single-target attacks hit a single point consecutively, doubling the critical strike damage. The Swordsman, who was lowest in level and had already suffered two explosions, instantly dropped to only a trace of HP left.
Jiang Chen didn’t give him any chance to recover. Dodging the other people’s attacks, he used a small ranged AOE attack at the same time, which covered him perfectly and immediately sent him off.
“Damn!”
“Too brutal!”
Jiang Chen killed one off and started to pick the next target.
He didn’t actually blindly seek to stack as much as possible because these people knew attack build wardcasters very well. Even if they’ve never touched Wandering Dreams for 30 years, before coming, they should have done their reviews. As such, he was very patient to fight the long battle with them, deciding to kill a few people first and see.
The Swordsman was dead. Next was the Warrior, whose skills had deteriorated.
Currently, he was only at a regular highly skilled level. Jiang Chen didn’t show him any courtesy and quickly sent him off.
The 8 people instantly changed to 6.
The two tankier ones already ate dirt. Most that remained were squishies.
Meanwhile, his Volatile Storm has already gone off cooldown.
Jiang Chen headed straight for the two supports, one immobilization skill and another to seal abilities, both hit with incomparable accuracy.
The guild chat of Old But Vigorous became rowdy again.
“Fuck, didn’t I tell you guys to be careful?”
“Why don’t you try to fucking dodge one and show us!”
“There was no warning. He attacked too fast, and out of nowhere, I got sealed.”
“Too terrifying, how did he get that off? He’s practically matching Chen Hui Lan Le!”
“Oh fuck, not good. You guys all got warded. He’s going for the big one!”
“Lao-Du!”
Du FeiZhou didn’t need their reminders and activated an AOE, wanting to interrupt this Wardcaster.
Jiang Chen already knew he would do this and activated the Wardcaster’s status ability.
Wandering Dreams had added this new ability after the optimization. A five second self-protection skill that prevented him from being interrupted by any skill, so considerate that he felt rather pleased with it.
Du FeiZhou was helpless.
He was playing the Ranger, which focused heavily on single-targeted attacks. His group attacks were limited. Now that this one skill was blocked, he had no other ways to stop him.
After activating the self-protection ability, Jiang Chen took advantage of the fact that he still had 80% of his HP to boldly withstand their attacks and start stacking the warding talismans, paying close attention to the two supports. Once their seals ended, their bodies instantly burst into flames.
The roar of explosions spread throughout the forest, increasing more and more.
The two supports collapsed in unison. The Wardcaster’s dark patterns appeared, gradually connecting together.
The 5th one, the 6th one, the 7th…… In the forest, where blood spattered in all directions, a black colored Wardcaster appeared.
The observing elders collectively held their breaths as their hearts beat wildly.
Fang JingXing stared affixed at him, eyes flashing with a light that even he didn’t realize.
Jiang Chen turned around and met the eyes of the Ranger in the distance.
The forest regained its peace, the smoke practically dispersing completely.
Wearing gold framed glasses, the Wardcaster stood elegantly over the ground full of corpses, the black painted heavily on his body, as if no light could penetrate.
Du FeiZhou aimed his arrow at him, fingers trembling faintly.
For someone that’s suppose to be keeping a low profile he’s really isn’t holding back at all with rubbing his signature move in the face of the people most likely to recognize it.
The way I think about it is… if no one did the moonwalk after Michael Jackson died and someone suddenly starts doing it 30 years later, I don’t think ppl’s first reaction is going to be like omg it’s Michael Jackson back from the dead. So I don’t think ppl will make that kind of connection naturally. xD
Yeah, “he suddenly came back from the dead” wouldn’t be on most people’s mind XD
Thank you for the update! It’s going to be fun when everyone starts finding out who he is 😂
💖💐💖💐
I can already feel the emotions that will soon rupture the moment his identity is revealed 🤧
wahhh leaving off at this moment…. i feel like i’m being emotionally edged😞
Thanks for the update 🤣❤️🤣❤️
waaaa~~ Xiao Ji is so handsome~ I really love his feature of the shirt turning black (definitely his trademark), also I kinda feel bad for Chairman Du because he doesn’t even know that the wardcaster was his team caption (he was part of Xiao Ji’s team right?)
Thx for the translation Infinite-sama~ <3
