DHMB - Chapter 15

Chapter 15

The audience in the live stream was confused at this point, but their main focus wasn't on the trio's god-tier operations, but rather the faint scent of gunpowder lingering in the air.

"Why can't I understand what they're saying? Isn't this just gods fighting?"

"That set of 'Pear Blossoms in a Storm' just now was completed at a very high level, even few seniors could do it, right? Sounds like the other side isn't satisfied? It scared me silly, are they going to ascend?"

"How long did they last? Over a minute after activating their ultimate isn't impressive? My coach would brag about that for three days!"

"Do those people not understand swordsmen at all?"

"Beautiful, strong, and tragic."

"I think that girl is super amazing! Couldn't tell the specific style of those few slashes just now, but they were all so damn accurate! How many blade users can achieve that kind of coordination? Clean, decisive, and master-like. Did anyone recognize the lineage?"

"Speaking of the girl, I vaguely feel like she looks familiar? Is it because the imposing figure of a strong person gives off that illusion?"

"Hahaha, the guy next to her is the familiar one, okay? Did you all forget? Scrambled eggs with tomatoes go well with corpses!"

Reminded by the comments, everyone finally remembered who Kai Yun and Lei Kaiding were. The comment section's style instantly went off track, oscillating between wild laughter and shock.

"What kind of devilish combination is this?"

"Confirmed hype! Why aren't those two even trying to avoid suspicion?"

"When did the Alliance Military University and the First Military Academy sign this kind of project? Why aren't the Alliance University students included? You're unfair!"

"Doesn't the Second Military Academy deserve a name? Just because they were a little slow when grabbing the school name?"

"Although it's said to be hype, these two are indeed visibly strong. I forgive them."

The live stream administrator also saw the comments and realized that Kai Yun was the legendary "little lucky star for viewership."

What a treasure! He secretly rejoiced and casually added a follow to Kai Yun's personal page.

When the pink heart lit up, his heart was filled with satisfaction.

In the arena, the two sides were still in a standoff.

Kai Yun's side did not take the initiative to attack.

Then the leading boy sighed, first put away his weapon, and then said, "Let's go."

"Just like that?" Flat-top said unwillingly, "We were here first, it's too late to go back now!"

"There's not much time left, so go back and prepare well," the leading boy said. "Even if you fight them here, can you get any points? It's better to conserve stamina and prepare to break through the encirclement. Our purpose in coming here wasn't to compete for victory."

Flat-top angrily said, "She provoked us directly!"

The boy said in a deep voice, "The fact is, the three of them got the key that we didn't. They could have attacked from the start, do you think they would be afraid of us?"

Flat-top looked up at the two people in front of him.

There was no hint of retreat in their eyes, even a sense of eagerness to try.

Judging from their performance just now, that girl was definitely not someone to mess with. She hadn't even revealed her style of blade techniques yet, but had already resolved the situation that had troubled them for a long time, and was likely still holding back.

Just based on the depth of internal energy in that one slash just now, she had no reason to be afraid.

Flat-top knew his captain was right. In the face of strength, you couldn't help but yield. He swallowed his frustration and prepared to turn and leave.

"Brother."

Kai Yun called out to him.

"I have a question I'd like to ask you."

Flat-top stopped, pointing at himself hesitantly and asking, "Me?"

"Yes, I really want to know. Since you can mock Jiang Tu because of his strength, then I should also be able to mock you because of your strength. In your eyes, this is an intolerable provocation, so why should Jiang Tu just tolerate you as a matter of course?" Kai Yun pointed to the large door behind her, indicating, "Furthermore, I don't agree with your evaluation of him. If he's not strong enough, isn't it because his teammates aren't strong enough either?"

Flat-top was speechless.

Jiang Tu stood up, watching them silently.

The young captain lowered his gaze and said, "What I said earlier was indeed unpleasant, but we didn't mean anything else. I hope you won't take it to heart."

He said to Jiang Tu, "Good fight."

The team of six left one after another, leaving only Kai Yun and her two teammates.

Kai Yun sheathed her saber and urged Jiang Tu to go open the door.

Jiang Tu hesitated for a moment and said, "Thank you for sticking up for me. But actually, I know very well that the root cause is myself."

"That's not a reason to mock someone. And me standing up for you is for my own reasons, because I think that's not okay," Kai Yun said. "But their captain seems alright."

Originally, she brought Jiang Tu here just to find an opportunity for him to show off his skills and cause some trouble, but she didn't expect that only one team could pass through one path.

Since that was the case, there was no need to be polite.

Yes, it's all Sanyao's fault!

Lei Kaiding said, "Let's go."

The large door opened, and a bright light shone into the dim training room, making all three of them squint. Then they jumped out of the door together.

Outside was an empty street.

The map for this exam was not large. From their position, they could directly see the boundary line, which was probably to prevent candidates from running around.

However, the modern street map had relatively complex terrain, with many places to hide.

They first found a spot with a wide view, where they could see the situation at the entrance of the building clearly, and which was also easy to retreat from. Then they sat down and slowly discussed tactics.

"No tactics," Lei Kaiding said bluntly. "Just watch Lu Que's position and act accordingly!"

Jiang Tu nodded in agreement.

Lei Kaiding continued, "When the other side rushes over, they will definitely spread out due to Lightness Skill, and Lu Que will certainly be in the stronger vanguard. We can avoid the main force and launch a surprise attack from the rear, quickly racking up some kills. But be careful, the attack must be fast, don't give the opponent a chance to switch formations! To attack fast enough, you must be sneaky. Here... Hey, Kai Yun, are you listening to me!"

Kai Yun rummaged through her bag and pulled out a cucumber. She casually wiped it with her hand and took a bite directly.

Lei Kaiding: (￣_￣ )

Jiang Tu's eyes widened.

"You... you..." Lei Kaiding said with a cold laugh, "The ingredients you prepared this time are quite simple, huh?"

"Me?" Kai Yun said, "Oh, this time there were ready-made seasoning packets in the mall, so I bought them, and my backpack had some empty space. I thought this exam might take a long time, so I brought some fruit as a pre-meal snack."

She held up the cucumber and indicated, "Also to cool down." After all, she was going to make a spicy dish.

Lei Kaiding: 凸(艹皿艹)

Jiang Tu's worldview was greatly impacted. He felt this was quite different from the world he knew well, and weakly spoke up, "But why would the mall have something like this?"

Lei Kaiding's mouth twitched, and he said gruffly, "If I knew who wrote the code, I'd block their way home from work every day!"

Kai Yun seemed oblivious to his towering rage and took another bite.

The crisp chewing sound of the cucumber echoed around the three of them.

Crunch.

Crunch...

Kai Yun exclaimed in surprise, "The code is really well written!"

Lei Kaiding: "Bah!"

Kai Yun got to the point: "What kind of person is this Lu Que you're talking about? I watched his videos, is he really that terrifying?"

Jiang Tu said seriously, "Never curse him in front of him."

Kai Yun expressed understanding: "I also don't like it when people curse me."

Jiang Tu: "No! It's... if you curse him... he'll get very angry."

Kai Yun nodded again: "I get very angry when people curse me too!"

The two of them said urgently in unison, "It's not the same!"

Kai Yun suddenly raised her hand and made a shushing gesture. The three of them simultaneously lowered their bodies, concealed themselves, and looked into the distance.

A group of candidates wearing different uniforms were rushing towards them like a surging tide.

Kai Yun checked the time and found that 28 minutes had passed, and the lockdown on the training building was about to be lifted.

She spotted Lu Que in the crowd at a glance, not because he stood out visually – it was hard to see faces from this distance – but because his aura was completely different. He came with a self-contained vacuum freezing effect, with no one near him.

His weapon was an iron claw, worn on his hand, which strangely suited him. Like the sharpest blade, it kept people a thousand miles away.

The vanguard probably consisted of twenty to thirty people, with a long line of scattered figures chasing after them in the distance.

Then the lights of the training building dimmed, the large door opened with a boom, and the crowd surged forward.

The trio prepared to use the chaos to circle around to the enemy's rear, waited, but found that Lu Que didn't enter the fray as they had planned. He stood idly in place, surveying the entire scene like a beast king.

He was also followed by a few subordinates.

"Damn it!" Lei Kaiding whispered, "Lu Que is actually blocking the door!"

His teammates entered to score points, and he was blocking the door to prevent the opposing side from escaping in the chaos.

Too ruthless.

Lei Kaiding's steps instantly faltered.

"Of course, it's not because I'm afraid of him, I'm just considering the long-term strategy," Lei Kaiding said. "Let's change positions first, the angle here isn't good."

Jiang Tu nodded.

As soon as they made a move, Lu Que moved too. His cold gaze swept towards their direction, seemingly landing on the spot where the three of them were.

"Impossible!"

Kai Yun exclaimed in surprise, quietly lowering her cucumber.

"Since we're exposed, there's nothing we can do," Lei Kaiding said with a frown. "The three of us will team up to kill him, which will eliminate future worries, and we can fight freely later!"

As he spoke, he quickly stood up, and Kai Yun couldn't even pull him back.

"Damn it!" At this moment, not far in front of the trio, an unfamiliar voice rang out: "We've been spotted!"

Over there, Lu Que raised his eyelids, finally sweeping his gaze correctly towards Lei Kaiding's position.

Lei Kaiding: "..."

He gritted his teeth, stomped his foot, and shouted, "Brothers, let's go together!"

Lu Que only glanced at him before quickly retracting his gaze. He clenched his fist, gathered strength in his arm, and launched his attack.

However, his target wasn't Lei Kaiding and the others, but the team closer to him that had planned a sneak attack but was discovered.

His punching speed was faster than Lei Kaiding's, and with the sharp blades on his glove, he blurred into a difficult-to-catch white shadow. At the same time, an astonishing amount of internal energy erupted with the attack. The powerful pressure mixed with the wind generated by the internal energy rushed towards them.

Lei Kaiding held his breath.

Experiencing this head-on, he suddenly realized that he might not be Lu Que's opponent.

Even more terrifying was that Lu Que wasn't just someone with deep internal energy; his limbs were unexpectedly flexible. He charged forward like a leopard, stabbing a claw towards the opponent's throat.

A single strike to kill.

Top ten... worthy of being in the top ten. Senior is indeed worthy of being a senior. As expected, a lone wolf who can make it to the top ten in the tournament is not a normal person.

The gap in strength between geniuses is even larger, enough to be suffocating.

Kai Yun quietly poked out half her head, just in time to see this scene.

At the same time, the group of "subordinates" at the entrance also looked over with shining eyes, staring leisurely at them.

The three of them fell silent together.

Lei Kaiding swallowed, and said softly, "It's not suitable for a fight to the death when there are no points yet at the start."

Kai Yun and Jiang Tu nodded obediently.

The three of them unanimously turned around and ran like hell.
