"Oh my god, come and see, I can fly right from the start!"
"Me too!"
"Could it be that a Martial Artist's flight isn't as difficult as rumored, but actually quite easy?"
"What a joke! Hovering in the air and walking on nothing are feats only a peerless Martial Artist can achieve!"
When other players first entered the game, they were quite cautious due to their monster hunter experience.
But who knew that the initial sword-riding flight would collectively blow their minds.
At this moment.
All players experienced what it meant to ride a sword on the wind and traverse the heavens and earth.
They were utterly awestruck.
"Awesome, so awesome!"
At this time, Zhou Yang was also treading on a flying sword, like a streak of light across the sky, passing through layers of clouds, facing the brilliant sunset, and admiring the stacked mountains.
Originally, he was the first player to enter the game, aiming to clear it as quickly as possible.
But now, the game had been going on for a while, and he was still engrossed in flying, let alone game progress, he had even forgotten all about the quests.
And this situation wasn't unique to him; many players were the same.
However, the only regret was that while they could freely experience flight, they found that they ultimately couldn't fly out of this specific world.
They now understood that this was probably due to the game's mechanics.
So, they eventually found the Luocha Ghost婆's Cave.
As soon as they stepped into the cave entrance.
They immediately encountered an unfamiliar monster attacking them.
Although the type was different from those in reality and in monster hunter.
However, at this point, most players didn't show much panic; they were all veteran hunters who had cleared monster hunter, after all.
Even with a different game and without their usual weapons, their mindset remained.
Subconsciously, they dodged by rolling, then drew their swords to counterattack.
Who knew that as the longsword was drawn, they just casually swung it lightly.
A peerlessly sharp sword qi was unleashed, streaking rapidly, sparks flying, and wherever it went, even the air was directly torn apart.
The monster was instantly obliterated by the sword qi!
The players themselves were dumbfounded: "How are we so strong right from the start?"
Immediately after.
Many exquisite and incredibly powerful Martial Arts techniques appeared in their minds.
The vast Martial Qi within their bodies and their excellent full-body equipment were also quickly noticed.
"This…"
The players' eyes widened, truly an eye-opener.
They were even startled by their current state.
Starting with King-tier strength, complete with divine equipment and divine skills?
Ahead, no matter what kind of monster they encountered, they were all annihilated with a single sword, without any suspense.
"These monsters are too weak!"
"Is this what it feels like to be a King-tier big shot?"
"This is too awesome!"
"Hahaha…"
The players burst into hearty laughter one after another, feeling like their lives had reached a peak.
Meanwhile, in the Internet Cafe, players who were originally playing monster hunter, noticing the commotion from these people, also came over curiously to take a look.
But upon seeing it, their jaws nearly dropped.
"Oh my god!"
"Didn't they just start playing this new game?"
"How are they all so powerful already?"
They themselves had to struggle immensely to take down a single monster.
But these players were like slicing melons and dicing vegetables, effortlessly and at ease.
The scene of them slaying enemies with swords while chatting and laughing was incredibly cool and awesome.
The more they watched, the more excited they became.
Who among those who practice martial arts doesn't dream of being a powerhouse?
At this point, even players who hadn't cleared monster hunter yet couldn't resist and were eager to try out this new game.
…
"Haha, with a sword in hand, I am invincible!"
"Come, you can all come, no matter how many, I'll kill them all!"
Wu Hao was also filled with heroic spirit at this moment, charging straight through the Luocha Ghost婆's Cave.
Wielding the Chunyang Sword, with a mere lift of his hand, powerful enemies turned to dust.
This feeling was utterly exhilarating.
Before coming, he remembered Wu Lei telling him that although the games in this Internet Cafe were fun, they were extremely difficult, and he should try to survive the early stages.
But now, it seemed far too simple, with no difficulty at all.
Wu Hao continued deeper into the cave.
After taking a few more steps, he discovered a treasure chest at an intersection ahead.
He had found two earlier in the cave and realized that good items could be obtained from treasure chests.
So this time, without thinking, he stepped forward and opened the chest.
Unexpectedly, a humanoid earth monster suddenly appeared from inside the box.
"A trap?"
Wu Hao raised an eyebrow, ready to draw his sword.
Then he heard the earth monster speak: "Sword Immortal, please spare me, I have something to ask of you!"
"Sword Immortal?"
Wu Hao was startled; it was the first time he had heard this title, but he felt it was quite fitting for his current identity.
Then he was surprised that this monster could speak human words and seemed to have something to ask of him.
Wu Hao reprimanded: "Others see me and can't flee fast enough, yet you, a monster, dare to deliver yourself to my doorstep. What is it?"
The earth monster sincerely said: "This little demon is here to ask for the Chunyang Sword, Great Immortal!"
Wu Hao sneered: "What you, this savage beast, say is truly amusing. Do you think that by tricking me into giving you my precious sword, you can escape disaster?"
"Great Immortal, please don't misunderstand. This little demon certainly has no such lucky thoughts. It's just that I have never harmed anyone, and I believe Great Immortal will not make things difficult for this little demon!"
The earth monster then said with an admiring expression: "Moreover, I also know that Great Immortal's profound cultivation has reached the peak, and you no longer need weapons to be invincible in the world. Even an ordinary sword used by you would make ghosts and gods retreat!"
"Oh?"
Wu Hao had been praised by others before, but being praised by a monster was a first, and he found it quite novel and interesting.
"Then tell me, what is the purpose of you risking to borrow this Chunyang Sword from me?"
"Actually, in the cave where this little demon resides, a Blood-Horned Azure Dragon has appeared, spewing cold, poisonous fire day and night. This little demon wishes to borrow this sword to eliminate this great menace!"
Wu Hao laughed heartily: "Hahaha, you should have said so earlier. After I eliminate the Luocha Ghost婆, I might as well help you get rid of that Azure Dragon!"
The earth monster, however, requested again: "If Great Immortal can lend me this sword, it is already a great kindness; I dare not trouble you further!"
Wu Hao had just felt that he was too strong, and with the Chunyang Sword in hand, he didn't even need to use Martial Arts; the monsters just died, which wasn't satisfying at all.
Now, this was perfect.
So he simply threw the Chunyang Sword to the earth monster.
"Hehehe…"
Unexpectedly, as soon as the earth monster received the precious sword, it let out an extremely cunning laugh.
Wu Hao frowned: "What do you mean by this?"
The earth monster, however, said with a smile: "That poisonous Luocha woman is not far ahead. I hope Sword Immortal will eliminate her for the people soon!"
With that, the earth monster's figure vanished in a flash.
"Looking at his sly smile, could I have been tricked? Damn it!" Wu Hao felt slightly annoyed.
However, whether he had the Chunyang Sword or not didn't really affect him at this point.
He casually pulled out a wooden sword and continued to sweep through the monsters ahead.
"This Sword Immortal is indeed terrifyingly strong!"
Wu Hao's confidence soared even higher, and he continued to kill his way to the end of the cave.
"Hmph, kid, of all people to provoke, you chose to bully this old woman!"
Ahead stood an old demoness wearing a red cloak, with a greenish face and long fangs, holding a ghost lantern in her left hand and a spatula in her right.
Wu Hao knew that this must be the Luocha Ghost婆!
Wu Hao could even feel a terrifying aura from her, and his heart trembled slightly.
But then he thought, he was King-tier strength now, what was there to fear?
"It is you, demon, who harms the world. This Sword Immortal is here today to enforce justice on behalf of heaven!"
Wu Hao pointed in the air, and several sword qi bolts shot out.
"Overestimating yourself!"
However, the Luocha Ghost婆 showed disdain, casually slapping her spatula, and scattered all the sword qi.
Immediately after, she waved the lantern in her hand, emitting a red ghostly light.
"What?!"
Wu Hao was greatly alarmed, because he felt that his hands and feet were no longer obeying him.
The next moment, several skeletal ghost claws suddenly rose from the ground and tightly entangled him, unable to break free no matter what.
In an instant, he lost all ability to resist and was captured.
"Why is this Luocha Ghost婆 so powerful?"
"This shouldn't be!"
Wu Hao was dumbfounded.
Clearly, the other monsters in the cave couldn't even withstand one move against him.
But now, facing the Luocha Ghost婆, he seemed to be in the same position, only their roles had been reversed.
Shouldn't he be a peerless powerhouse now?
Wasn't this game supposed to let people experience what it felt like to be a King-tier?
How did he suddenly become so vulnerable?
The Luocha Ghost婆 looked at Wu Hao with a sinister smile: "Kid, do you know fear now? If you kneel and beg for mercy, I might spare your life!"
Wu Hao snorted: "Since I've fallen into your hands, kill me if you wish. Eighteen years later, I'll be another brave man!"
He certainly wasn't afraid now.
Because he knew that dying in the game wasn't truly dying; at most, he would just come back later to seek revenge on this old witch.
"Good, then I'll grant your wish!"
Seeing the Luocha Ghost婆 raise her spatula, viciously aiming to strike his head.
Wu Hao closed his eyes, and suddenly felt a dizzying sensation.
"Ouch…"
Opening his eyes, he found that the surroundings had changed, and he had fallen off the bed.
And everything he had just experienced was like a dream bubble.
"Huh?"
At this moment, not only Wu Hao, but also Li Xiaoyao beside him, and all other players who played to this scene, were stunned, feeling their brains had crashed.
What was going on?
Was everything they had just experienced just a dream?
