DOASCC – Chapter 44: Cang Hai Bright Moon Sword

Bright Moon City going on sale was naturally just a joke, but after XieRan and the major sect bosses had a cordial meeting, Yang Xianyun had his subordinates bring two chairs to add to the first row of the podium, inviting Xie Ran and Meng Feixuan to sit down with them.

The whole venue went crazy, especially the people from Dynasty Smoke Pavilion , whose eyes were almost bleeding.

Tan Yunguang grabbed Kuang Jingning arm anxiously and said, “Brother Jing, why are Xie Ran and others allowed to sit there? Isn’t that reserved for the top twenty experts? You worked so hard ro reach the second place on the power rankings but you still are only allowed to sit on the second row…”

“Enough! Is it not embarrassing enough?” Kuang Jingning mood had become extremely irritated since he encountered Xie Dafang outside the city so he was not in the mood to appease Tan Yunguang. He waved his hand and pushed him away.:”The competition is most important now, so you all go sit down.”

Tan Yunguang hands were left empty, feeling even more resentful in his heart, but in the end, he could only grit his teeth and say: “Fine.”

“Also…” Kuang Jingning reminded, “Keep an eye on Xie Dafang and don’t let him escape.”

The people from Dynasty Smoke Pavilion were dissatisfied, and the World Channel was in an uproar. A large number of on-site spectators began to attack the organizers, asking why Xie Dafang and Meng Feixuan didn’t register for the Martial Arts Conference but could sit in the best seats on the podium.

Even the game company was bewildered and quickly assigned someone to investigate, but for the time being, they couldn’t find out the detailed reason and could only give vague responses.

[System]: Bright Moon City Lord Yang Xianyun expresses gratitude to player Xie Dafang and Meng Feixuan for rescuing him from the Treasured Chess Game and specially invites them to watch the decisive battle of the Martial Arts Conference. The heads of various sects in the martial world are also impressed by Xie Dafang and intend to make friends with him and discuss the development of the various sects.

In other words, Xie Dafang treatment was entirely given by the NPC themselves and had nothing to do with the game company.

World: […………]

To think they replied directly through the system, Xie Dafang was indeed truly unique.

This response didn’t completely satisfy everyone, but it was all true. Xie Dafang had indeed not demonstrated any martial arts from start to finish, but he did things that other top experts couldn’t do, so the NPCs viewing him differently wasn’t impossible.

Even so, everyone was still stunned by the phrase “discuss the development of the various sects.”

“Xie Dafang is too formidable!”

“…This is the first time I’ve seen NPCs in a game collaborating with players on development.”

“No match, no match!”

“Let’s continue to curse the planners!”

“Makes sense, make them suffer to death!”

On the stands, Meng Feixuan and Xie Ran whispered to each other: “Sir, people in the world have objections!”

“Hmm.” Xie Ran responded and casually blocked the World Channel. He was used to being in the spotlight, and as long as the comments didn’t affect his work plans, he wouldn’t pay too much attention to them.

With his legs crossed, one hand propped on the armrest of the chair, lightly supporting his chin, his face devoid of expression, naturally exuding the aura of a Ceo as he said in a light voice: “The game company should almost find out.”

“They are currently investigating the data.” Meng Feixuan reported while holding Jiu Ji on her lap.

“Koko…” Jiu Ji flapped its wings.

Xie Ran glanced sideways and smiled mysteriously. With his other hand, he reached out to scratch Jiu Ji’s neck: “You can make a copy of Jiu Ji’s data first.”

“No, Jiu Ji is our chicken. We can’t leave it to others,” Meng Feixuan grabbed Xie Ran’s hand and held it: “I want to directly cut out its data.”

When Jian Jingsheng walked onto the platform and prepared to sit down, he saw Meng Feixuan playing with Xie Ran’s hand from a distance.

Jian Jingsheng: !!!!!

Aren’t these two a little too unrestrained in public?

But Xie Ran situation was just a small episode. The decisive battle was about to begin, and everyone’s attention was focused on the arena.

Today’s competition actually consisted of the semifinals and finals together. A total of four participants advanced to the final. The first and fourth in terms of strength points would fight against each other, and the second and third would face off. The two winners of the semifinals would then have the final battle, and the ultimate winner would become the leader of the martial arts world, receiving the NPC coronation and the title of “Martial Arts Leader.”

In the first match, Jian Jingsheng faced a powerful opponent ranked fourth, the female swordsman Fei Ling.

Jian Jingsheng had accumulated a suppressed anger, and from the very beginning, he unleashed a deadly moves of the God of Swords, dealing fatal damage.

Fei Ling was able to enter the finals and her martial arts skills were naturally not weak. However, under Jian Jingsheng’s uninhibited outburst, she was greatly pressured and remained on the defensive throughout the entire match.

Fei Ling was almost certain to lose.

The crowd was in an uproar.

“I f**king can’t believe it, Jian Jingsheng seems even more formidable.”

“Seriously, Fei Ling had a significant advantage against other opponents. But in front of Jian Jingsheng, she didn’t even have the ability to fight back. Did Jian Jingsheng never use his full strength before?”

“It seems that the position of the Martial Arts Leader has already been decided.”

The people from Dynasty Smoke Pavilion were even more enthusiastic, shouting loudly: “Master, you’re amazing!”

Amidst the amazement, the second match began.

The contestants: Bancheng Yanyu vs Yunru

This was another highly anticipated aspect of the finals. The former vice-master of Raging Thundercloud Tower Yunru who had a long-standing grudge with Bancheng Yanyu. Yunru had initially led a rebellion against Wind and Rain guild and later attempted to seize their headquarters, nearly causing the collapse of Wind and Rain guild. However, it was now public knowledge now that he was wiped out due to disturbing Xie Ran love affair, causing his plans to fail.

But in the end Yunru had a a solid foundation. After the dissolution of the Raging Thundercloud Tower, he joined a small guild with his strong skills and became the leading expert in the guild. This time, he was determined to make a name for himself and forcefully climbed to third place on the power ranking board, bringing glory to the small guild.

Naturally, the battle between Bancheng Yanyu and Yunru was regarded as an honorable duel by the entire server.

Bancheng Yanyu stepped onto the stage and stood facing Yunru.

Yunru eyes were filled with hatred, and his tone was full of disdain: “ Bancheng Yanyu, you’ve had good luck. In the past, you had the favor of the God Fade and later Xie Dafang helped you out. But your luck won’t last forever.”

“Cut the nonsense.” Bancheng Yanyu said coldly. “Yunru, let’s settle things today. From now on, let’s go our separate ways.”

“Just you?” Yunru always looked down on Bancheng Yanyu, even though he was already second on the power ranking board. In his eyes, Bancheng Yanyu was still a useless person that only relied on others.

But this time, Bancheng Yanyu surprised him.

When Bancheng Yanyu kicked Yunru off the stage and it was announced that Bancheng Yanyu ad won, the hatred in Yunru eyes intensified. Instead of accepting defeat, he shouted loudly: “So what if you beat me? You are unworthy of leading the Wind and Rain Guild.”

“Without the God Fade, you are nothing!”

“You can imitate the God Fade all you want, but you can never compare to him. You’re just a counterfeit!”

To ensure the effect of the competition, the arena had audio features so Yunru shouts reached the audience, sparking whispers. The legendary name “God Fade” undoubtedly brought back memories for many.

“God Fade has been gone for so many years, and Yunru still hasn’t woken up?”

“What’s going on? Wasn’t it Yunru who drove away the God Fade? Why is he now praising the God Fade again? Is he crazy or something?”

“Emmmm, maybe it’s love?”

“But it must be awkward for Bancheng Yanyu to hear that from Yunru, , considering everyone know that Bancheng Yanyu know personally God Fade and was most like him. But what’s the use? It’s not like he’s a substitute… I can’t even imagine what Bancheng Yanyu is thinking.”

Bancheng Yanyu coldly stared at Yunru. When Yunru finished his rant, Bancheng Yanyu suddenly made a face at him and said: “La la la, I see you’re just jealous of my good relationship with the God Fade. Don’t think I don’t know. You also want to imitate the God Fade, but you’re just not good at it!”

“Do you think it’s easy to be like the God Fade? It requires observing the details of life. Can you compare your relationship with the God Fade to mine?” Bancheng Yanyu said while proudly lifting his chin.

Yunru: “…”

Others: “…”

Yunru was frustrated and furious, shouting in anger, “Bancheng Yanyu, f***! Damn it!”

Jian Jingsheng who was guided by an NPC and was preparing for the final battle with Banchen Yanyu, who was still on the stage…

“Bancheng Yanyu , I never expected that it would come down to a duel between the two of us,” Jian Jingsheng looked at Bancheng Yanyu with gentle eyes, concealing the subtle and embarrassing feelings in his heart.

The young man before him stood tall and handsome, with a gentle smile in his eyes when looking at people. He always appeared composed and refined, exuding an air of dignity and elegance. It was evident that he had grown up in the best possible environment, receiving the finest education since childhood.

Jian Jingsheng could still vividly recall the first time he met Yin Luyan. It was when he realized, for the first time, that he was attracted to men.

Unfortunately, his first love was interested only in women.

Jian Jingsheng knew that his background was far inferior to Yan Luyan, and he understood that he had no chance with him. Therefore, he could only bury that desire deep in his heart and watch from a distance.

When the game “Bright Moon River Lake” finally launched, he thought he had found a way to get closer to Yan Luyan. However, Yan Luyan ended up following his senior brother God Fade everywhere.

Later on, when God Fade quit the game, Jian Jingsheng encountered Xie Dafang in the game. Xie Dafang resembled Yan Luyan in every aspect, and Jian Jingsheng had genuinely wanted to form a bond with him.

Jian Jingsheng stared directly at Yan Luyan, and strangely enough in the past he used Xie Dafang to search for trace of Yan Luyan. But ever since Xie Dafang unhesitatingly broke up with him and became an unreachable figure in the eyes of many, whenever Jian Jingsheng saw Yan Luyan, he couldn’t help but search for traces of Xie Dafang in him.

Jian Jingsheng’s gaze was too intense, making Yan Luyan feel an indescribable sensation.

Yan Luyan smiled and said: “On the battlefield, there are no brothers. Jian you don’t need to hold back. Just come at me with all you’ve got.”

However, Jian Jingsheng didn’t immediately attack. He continued to gaze at Yan Luyan and suddenly chuckled, his tone mocking as he said: “Yan, do you know? Xie Dafang used to look a lot like you…”

“Huh?” Yan Luyan didn’t understand the meaning behind his words for a moment and sincerely asked: “How could that be? Xie Dafang is much more awesome than me!”

Jian Jingsheng: “…”

Unable to control his anger any longer, Jian Jingsheng drew his sword and charged forward.

During this period of time, he had been suppressing his anger and putting a lot of effort into his training. He had mastered the martial arts of the Blade God, one stage ahead of others, and his skills were far superior to other players. With every move he made, he displayed tremendous momentum and performed brilliantly.

The audience around them cheered continuously.

Bancheng Yanyu also showed remarkable skill. He had taken over the Wind and Rain Guild after God Fade departure and had finally demonstrated abilities matching those of the Guild former master.

The field was filled with flashing blades and swords as the two of them unleashed skills and techniques that other players had never seen before.

The cheers and applause from the spectators grew increasingly enthusiastic.

“What kind of technique is this? It’s amazing!”

“I never expected Yanyu to be this skilled!”

“Looking at it this way, he didn’t even use his full power when fighting against Yunru!”

“It seems that Wind and Rain Guild is truly going to rise again.”

Jian Jingsheng also seemed somewhat surprised. In fact, Bancheng Yanyu strength had always been formidable, but his predecessor God Fade was just too brilliant. Everyone’s expectations of Bancheng Yanyu naturally surpassed those of others, making him seem less outstanding.

However, at this moment, with Jian Jingsheng who had obtained the true inheritance of the Blade God, Bancheng Yanyu still appeared to be evenly matched. Which made everyone take notice.

There were even a few instances where Bancheng Yanyu turned the tables on Jian Jingsheng. His footwork was unpredictable, his speed was incredibly fast, and his moves were elusive, making it difficult to judge.

Jian Jingsheng narrowly avoided a close encounter with Yanyu, showing surprise on his face. “Yan, I didn’t expect you to have something up your sleeve.”

“Isn’t that the case for you too, Little Jing?” Yan Luyan admitted generously: “If we didn’t have a backup plan and let others figure us out before the finals, wouldn’t that be giving them an advantage?”

As they spoke, Yan Luyan activated a new skill, a secret technique from a mysterious sect: Cloud Shadow, Heavenly Light.

Yan Luyan footwork resembled the shadow of clouds and the light of the heavens. With dazzling skill effects, he repeatedly closed in, swiftly maneuvering from clever angles next to Jian Jingsheng. Astonishingly, he managed to snatch the weapon from Jian Jingsheng’s hand.

The spectators on the sidelines who witnessed such agile and ingenious footwork for the first time erupted in thunderous applause.

Even Yunru who had always looked down on Bancheng Yanyu , widened his eyes in amazement.

Jian Jingsheng suddenly found his hands empty, and the long sword had already landed in Bancheng Yanyu hands. Jian Jingsheng narrowed his eyes slightly and praised: “Impressive footwork.”

Bancheng Yanyu happily replied: “Thanks to Brother Fade, he helped me obtain this mysterious manual!”

Jian Jingsheng: !!!

Jian Jingsheng completely lost his composure, his voice filled with hatred as he sternly shouted, “I treated you better then him, but you cherish him!”

“What’s so great about God Fade? I’ve been so good to you. What does he have that I don’t?”

Yan Luyan was taken aback, as if he had suddenly grasped something, and instinctively asked: “Why did you consider him as me?”

But before he could fully comprehend this, he saw a flash of cold light in Jian Jingsheng’s hand, and a magnificent golden blade, never seen by anyone in the game before, appeared.

The relevant data of the golden blade also appeared on the control panels of all the spectators.

“Self-made weapon!!!”

“It also a divine-level attribute weapon! Not some trash equipment!”

Everyone’s gaze was immediately drawn to that golden blade. This was the first divine weapon developed by a player since the introduction of the self-made equipment system.

The golden blade, accompanied by magnificent and almost dazzling skill effects, flew toward Yanyu.

Blade God’s ultimate skill: Wings of Slashing Descent.

Bancheng Yanyu was defeated.

Jian Jingsheng emerged as the victor.

The whole arena erupted in excitement.

The people from Dynasty Smoke Pavilion were so thrilled that their faces turned red, and they shouted until their voices were hoarse: “Our leader is amazing!”

“Our leader is so incredible!”

“Why call him the leader? Call him the Martial Alliance Master!”

“The Supreme of the Martial World! Our leader is the Supreme of the Martial World!”

Surprisingly, Fu Guang who was always the proudest of Jian Jingsheng, wasn’t as excited as the others. There was a hint of confusion on his face as he fixedly watched Jian Jingsheng and Bancheng Yanyu, feeling a vague uneasiness that he couldn’t explain.

Jian Jingsheng unquestionably claimed the final victory.

He proudly stood on the stage, holding that astonishing divine-level weapon, resembling a war god. All eyes were focused on him.

A faint smile finally appeared at the corner of Jian Jingsheng’s mouth. He knew that after this battle, his name would completely replace God Fade and become the new legend of the “Bright Moon River Lake”

His past with Xie Dafang would also be replaced by his own legend.

“Jian Jingsheng defeats Bancheng Yanyu and wins the final victory of the Material Art Conference!” Bright Moon City Lord Yang Xianyun stood up, his loud voice carrying his powerful internal energy, reaching the ears of every spectator present: “From today onward, Jian Jingsheng is the number one expert in the martial world, earning the title of ‘ Martial World Leader.” and also obtaining the peerless divine weapon Cang Hai  Bright Moon Sword.

All the spectators exclaimed in admiration: “Wow, there’s even a divine weapon!”

“What is the Cang Hai Bright Moon Sword? I’ve never heard of it before!”

“Although I’ve never heard of it, just by the name, you can tell it’s incredibly powerful!”

Amidst everyone’s expectant gazes, Yang Xianyun looked towards the figure sitting at the edge, nodding and saying: “Green Shirt Guest, the martial world’s number one expert you’ve been searching for has appeared. Please hand over the Cang Hai Bright Moon Sword.”

Green Shirt Guest let out a puzzled: “Ah,” and after a moment, he pointed in Xie Ran direction, saying: “I’ve already given the Cang Hai Bright Moon Sword to him.”

Yang Xianyun: ?

The entire audience: ??

Wait, what does Green Shirt Guest mean? He had previously given Xie Dafang a diving sword, but that one was the Mark Sword. How come Cang Hai Bright Moon Sword also ended up in Xie Dafang hands?

However, Yang Xianyun was more concerned about another question, furrowing his brow as he asked: “Why did you give the Cang Hai Bright Moon Sword to him?”

Green Shirt Guest blinked, seeming a bit puzzled as well. After thinking for a moment, he suddenly realized: “Because he is the number one expert in the martial world.”

Author’s note: Mark Sword: Sobbing, I’m finally getting recognition!

Mark: This set of data won’t work, delete it.
