“Are we sure that thing is him?”
Chiyo Ji was fiddling with a special camera in his hands, aiming it toward the sky, in the direction of the black-and-red war chariot.
He couldn’t quite make out if the figure on it was Sin. The speed was just too fast. But the color of that mask still gave off a strange sense of identity.
Once a masked person appeared in the real world, everyone’s mind would instantly flash to that guy.
There was probably no one else in this world who dared to show up hours late and do so in such a provocative manner.
“His direction... seems off,” Chiyo Ji hesitated.
“That’s because he probably isn’t here to participate in the East Sea Debate!” Chiyo Eine gritted her teeth, staring at the figure in the sky.
“Huh? Then what’s he here for?” Chiyo Ji asked recklessly.
But soon, he clearly noticed the taut lines of muscle on Chiyo Eine’s handsome cheeks—the clenched jaw posture.
Suddenly, Perfect Life, who had been standing excitedly among the crowd, started laughing.
As the world’s second-ranked player, his white robe fluttered without wind, and beneath that wide garment loomed what seemed like a terrifying weapon, its aura restrained but overwhelming.
He looked excitedly at the arc in the sky and muttered to himself,
“This is the kind of momentum it should have.”
“World heroes? Not in my eyes! Without this kind of mindset, why would you be number one?”
“Good... You’re human, not some game creation. That’s a relief...”
He was clearly becoming a little fanatic. At that moment, another voice rose from the crowd.
“Not necessarily.”
“After all, everyone’s assuming Sin is Chinese.”
“Maybe China sent a top expert to impersonate him to keep that title?”
Such doubts were not uncommon. After all, it was easy to find someone to ride the vehicle around once or twice.
“Nonsense.” Sun turned, shifting his attention away from Perfect Life. “Whether he is or isn’t, wouldn’t we find out once we fight?”
“What’s the East Sea Debate about? Just all talk?”
As he spoke, his legs began to charge power. According to his judgment, if anyone was going to make the first move, it would probably be him.
But in fact, it wasn’t!
Someone else was even more impatient—and the first to make a move was a surprise to everyone.
On the deep blue sea, a large area of water suddenly turned black!
Chiyo Eine’s eyes lost their whites, turning as black as ink, as if only the pupils remained.
Her entire body was wrapped in a chilling aura. She lifted her head, motionless, staring at the approaching figure in the sky.
This man, who had dealt her the greatest defeat in life, seemed like a mountain blocking every path she wanted to take.
She clearly understood that breaking one’s inner demons was the greatest taboo for personal growth.
“Sis?…”
Beside her, Chiyo Ji was stunned. He didn’t expect his sister to be so impulsive at this moment.
When he was young, it was she who taught him,
“No matter what you do, never make the first move unless you’re absolutely sure. Because the first to strike often becomes a hero but a cannon fodder. The real benefits belong to the followers.”
Chiyo Eine was always known for her cautiousness and far-reaching wisdom, but now...
Chiyo Ji instinctively tried to grab her arm, but caught only air.
He grabbed a handful of black water. Beneath her feet was a black pool; Chiyo Eine’s body had already merged into it.
The next second, the calm sea suddenly began to churn. The black waves rose one after another like ink, crashing against the shore.
This looked like a precursor to a tsunami.
But everyone present had seen enough of the world to remain calm, until a huge black serpent shot out of the water!
The sea was Chiyo Eine’s domain!
That black serpent looked like a giant beast from the endless deep sea, bursting out from the exploding sea like a towering pillar.
The intense demonic aura instantly sent chills down many players’ spines. Even the Dragon Group personnel far away went on alert.
But looking closely, the serpent wasn’t a real creature—it was an energy monster composed of black seawater.
The first to make a move in the East Sea Debate: No. 6, Chiyo Eine!
The giant black serpent’s head soared into the sky, blocking Lu Ce’s path, opening its huge mouth, and roaring!
Then, a surging energy blast shot from the serpent’s mouth, like a laser cannon, roaring toward Lu Ce.
Against the backdrop of this giant serpent, Lu Ce’s figure seemed so tiny.
In that sense, those who played spellcasters did look much cooler.
But Lu Ce had no intention of stopping! The Black Knight had no intention of turning either!
One man, one vehicle, charging straight into the black energy water cannon without defense or dodge—plowing straight through!
Using his body to take it head-on!
Amid the fierce roaring, the black energy blast was forcibly pushed aside. Black water splattered in the air, but the man and vehicle in front did not slow down one bit. They charged right through the middle of the energy blast.
No obstacle on the road of war!
Red light flickered in the eyes of the black serpent. Its huge body instinctively tried to dodge.
But it was too late.
The black-and-red stream of light collided like a missile. Then came the earth-shaking roar.
Boom!
That seemingly terrifying black serpent instantly exploded in the air, revealing Chiyo Eine’s body.
Lu Ce didn’t even look at him. The road of war unfolded ahead as he continued charging forward.
At the same time, many people on Penglai Island below jumped up.
The East Sea Debate’s world number one had arrived. Were they not going to dare to fight?
Everyone seemed to share an unspoken understanding, realizing Sin didn’t intend to stay, ignoring the people here and heading elsewhere.
Fine, then this would be the first real event of the East Sea Debate!
Stop the world number one!
As for Lu Ce himself, he had no extra thoughts—no matter why these strange people suddenly stood in his way.
He only needed to... charge the formation!
