“Your spear swings are too wide!”
“Why must you use your powers in this way!”
“Back off! You should lower your body at a time like this.”
“When thrusting, don’t always aim for the lethal spots, the chin, shoulders, knees, the soles of the feet, these are all places you can target!”
Jiang Qiao watched the duel between Juan Canyun and Thorne in the Blossom Plaza. It was now six o’clock in the evening… This was already the fifth duel between Juan Canyun and Thorne.
The summary of the round was extremely exciting, so exciting that Jiang Qiao was holding a bucket of popcorn, eating it while watching the duel.
In today’s challenge, Thorne wasn’t going easy. He’d made it clear that he knew why the Divine Chosen Ones were unwilling to challenge him and where the biggest problem lay.
So, in this period, for every duel with Juan Canyun, Thorne had been taking the time to teach this fledgling how to flap his own wings.
As for his agreement with the gods… to slay fifty Divine Chosen Ones in one go, Thorne also really wanted to slay fifty Divine Chosen Ones at once!
But the problem was whether there were even fifty Divine Chosen Ones challenging him each day, and the Devouring God was very cunning. In this wager, any Divine Chosen One who accepted healing from the Priest was essentially considered to have conceded defeat.
Those Divine Chosen Ones could continue challenging the Divine Chosen with their wounds, but then they risked their divinity gifted by the gods being devoured by the Divine Chosen Ones.
Thorne wouldn’t hold back; he would slay as many Divine Chosen Ones as there were, on the condition that those Divine Chosen Ones were willing to challenge him.
“It’s over.” Thorne looked at Juan Canyun, who knelt on the ground. Five consecutive high-intensity battles had drained Juan Canyun’s stamina almost completely.
Thorne swung the branch in his hand, intending to knock Juan Canyun out of the match because he knew Juan Canyun’s energy was spent, and insisting that he continue fighting would be pointless.
After the fifth defeat, Juan Canyun lay on the ground outside the ring, looking at Zhao Mingwei sitting beside him and Jiang Qiao, still eating popcorn.
“Five consecutive losses… isn’t that too embarrassing?”
Juan Canyun had thought he could win one or two rounds, but after fighting all morning and into the afternoon, he realized he had been too optimistic.
“Not embarrassing, I lost five rounds too.” After thinking for a moment, Zhao Mingwei tried to comfort Juan Canyun in a way that could inspire him.
“Laughing Master, you lost too?” Juan Canyun sat up from the ground, having assumed that Zhao Mingwei had defeated Thorne earlier, but Zhao Mingwei shook his head quite candidly.
“If Laughing Master you… lost to Six Hundred Sixty-Three Thousand, is there anyone in the world who can beat him?”
“Yes.” Zhao Mingwei said with certainty, “Provided they play Divine Chosen Ones, and they play for a long time.”
“I’m a bit curious as to who it is.”
Jiang Qiao put down the popcorn. To him, the world of the Divine Chosen Ones had always been just a concept and idea because he had too many things to do at the moment.
The gameplay in the Inner World was too simplistic, and Jiang Qiao needed a lot of time to perfect it, not to mention dealing with the three Island Masters of Biland Island, the gods, the looming Annihilation Legion, and the new excavation of the Divine Fragments.
However, even though he had many tasks at hand, giving out one or two gameplay passes to friends on the foreign server was still manageable.
“I can’t answer that, I don’t even know the current status of those old rivals. When the Dynamic Nucleus enters the world competition, maybe we’ll know.” Zhao Mingwei said.
Zhao Mingwei’s statement sounded as if he was certain that the Dynamic Nucleus would make it into the world championships.
Juan Canyun didn’t ask any more questions. After a short rest to recover his strength, just as Thorne defeated another high-score passerby, he stood up, took his silver-white spear, and strode directly towards Thorne.
……
Several days later, the stronghold of Nucleus Hopper was in full Emperor of Grind mode recently… During this period, they were constantly clashing with Coke Frenzy and Abyss Temple for the New World Square area. Today, Nucleus Hopper’s campaign in the inner world battleground had a brief pause.
Today marked the first day of the Postseason of Discord, and everyone at Nucleus Hopper, except for the players and coach who were going on stage, was watching the match at the stronghold.
Jiang Qiao, as the game designer and producer of Holy Spirit, really didn’t want to pay any attention to the matters of another game’s professional circle, but the problem was… they actually dared to diss Fureya?
Ahem, this was a sentiment echoed by quite a few Holy Spirit players.
In any case, everyone at Nucleus Hopper was holding their breath, just waiting for their players to give a good beating to Masters of the Heavens in this match.
“Welcome to the live postseason of the Discord League, I’m Wang Douyou… The first match taking place is a tournament match, and looking at Nucleus Hopper’s starting lineup, the first player up is Tang Wen, also known to everyone as Juan Canyun. Shi Qi, what do you think of player Tang Wen?”
“Strong, end of story.”
“??”
Jiang Qiao, hearing this exchange between the two commentators, wasn’t the only one who was caught off guard—so was the rest of Nucleus Hopper. According to the usual script… shouldn’t they start with a slight diss towards Juan Canyun?
The members of Nucleus Hopper were somewhat in the know; Juan Canyun recently spent half his time in the Holy Spirit’s competitive arena and the other half ‘neglecting his duties’ fighting the NPCs in Holy Spirit.
In the eyes of some fans who didn’t know the truth, this behavior was akin to giving up on himself entirely, but…
“Oh! Is this commentator one of our own?” Fluffy Bunny asked, they had braced themselves for their player being criticised as soon as he went on stage.
But as Fluffy Bunny guessed…
“Facts speak for themselves, Juan Canyun recently climbed to the top five of the American server, his momentum is strong.”
“Masters of the Heavens also had quite a few players reach the top five on the American server; this doesn’t seem to prove much.”
Midway through the commentators’ analysis, the tournament had already kicked off. Juan Canyun’s performance wasn’t great in the first match, and he was facing Lin Xi who had also played Holy Spirit.
Some of Juan Canyun’s combat techniques and skill releases very obviously showed… shadows of a Holy Spirit Final Fighter, like certain back jumps, gun lifts, Cloud Formation and other attack methods.

In the first game, he won very narrowly, barely managing to take Lin Xi out when only a quarter of his health remained. Afterward, the commentator named Wang Douyou even made a joke, ‘He still thinks he’s playing some unnamed game.’
Jiang Qiao was certain… these two commentators… were totally one of us; their commentary was full of Holy Spirit references, possibly without even realising it themselves.
But winning the first match didn’t really prove anything, this was a tournament match… when the second player from Masters of the Heavens came on stage, Juan Canyun finally experienced the thrill of being ‘Thorne’!
The second player didn’t even manage to take a single drop of blood from Juan Canyun before being taken down.
“The bets are on! The bets are on! I bet Xiao Wen can take down another one,” Lazy said.
Lazy’s prophecy came true… Juan Canyun was gradually getting into the zone, and in the end, he took down the third player from Masters of the Heavens when only five percent of his health was left.
If Jiang Qiao remembered correctly… the coach could replace a player who was low on health, but Juan Canyun didn’t do so, thinking he still had fight left in him.
“It’s about time… to start.”
Seeing this, Jiang Qiao felt that Juan Canyun had already aggressively avenged his Darling Fureya, and it was about time for him to start arranging the storyline for Fureya’s day trip to the inner world.
