Online Game: Crazy Skeleton-Chapter 1276 - 1186: Encountered a Master

"I didn’t expect you would really go. Are you not afraid of getting a cold shoulder?"

Su Ran watched the Great Smog’s departing figure, feeling quite surprised in his heart.

"The Great Smog has been tricked to this point, what else is there to care about? Anyway, it’s all a waste of time. Torturing some NPCs might even net some useful quest intel; that’s a good thing, too."

Creamy Playboy retracted his gaze and spoke softly, "Everyone log off and rest. We need to save our energy for tomorrow’s competition and strive for the best ranking possible. Oh, Overturning Water, everyone is counting on you to take the championship, so don’t let us down."

"With you putting it that way, I feel even more pressured. There are plenty of capable people in the Heavenly Gang Group, where do I stand?"

Su Ran smiled bitterly, not excited by his teammates’ confidence. His summoner occupation had significant disadvantages in the arena. Any opponent with a bit of brains wouldn’t give him the time to summon his pets.

However, in the Earthly Fiend Group, Su Ran wasn’t too worried, but his ultimate goal was to be in the Heavenly Gang Group!

"Overturning Water, don’t be so modest. In the championship popularity polls on the God-Demon forum, you’re ranked in the top three!"

Creamy Playboy rolled his eyes at Su Ran and didn’t linger on the topic, his voice tinged with exhaustion, "Logging off now, time to sleep!"

After saying farewell to Youtong and Gu Yue, Su Ran also logged off. He first topped himself up with a bottle of Nutrient Solution before lying down in bed, his mind blissfully blank, and fell into a deep sleep.

"Meow?"

Little Black’s eyes flashed with a hint of confusion, not expecting Su Ran to be so tired. Could it be tiring just lying around in a box?

Humans are really strange creatures, incomprehensible!

The next day.

In the God-Demon game, the martial arts tournament was in full swing. The participating players were extremely enthusiastic, their fighting spirit soaring. Of course, there were also some players sighing in dismay, looking worried. The reason was well known to those in the Earthly Fiend Group.

"Whoosh!"

Guided by the system, Su Ran teleported to the arena, only then realizing that he was still in the Earthly Fiend Group. Player complaints hadn’t led to any changes in the tournament rules, after all, his level was perfectly suited for the Earthly Fiend Group and had nothing to do with the Heavenly Gang Group!

"The system’s pretty fair, the champion of the Earthly Fiend Group is mine!"

Su Ran showed a confident smile, waiting for his opponent to appear.

"Eh?"

To his surprise, the system teleported a mage player who was very extravagantly dressed, with fiery red hair and robe, holding a fiery red stone in his hand, quite eye-catching.

"F*ck, it’s you?! I was planning to have a big fight, but I didn’t expect to meet you first, that’s just really damn unlucky!"

The great name of Spilt Water Can’t Be Regained was well known throughout the God-Demon Continent, not to mention this fire mage. Without hesitation, he pulled out a black wand and embedded the red stone into it, speaking solemnly, "Spilt Water Can’t Be Regained, they may fear you, but I don’t! Let me tell you, this weapon is a top-notch Dark Gold Wand and will greatly enhance my fire damage. As for this red gem, its background is noteworthy. I won’t say much about the effects, you’ll know once you try!"

"Oh man, what a nice guy, spilling all the beans right at the start. You’re too kind!"

Su Ran really wanted to tell this arrogant fellow that his own weapon was also dark gold, adorned with several ancient gems. His pets included magical creatures, Platinum ones, and a Mechanism Divine Pig. If it’s a comparison of gear, he wasn’t afraid of anyone!

"Spilt Water Can’t Be Regained," he declared, "ever since I acquired this staff, I’ve never been willing to use it, but today I shall christen it with you as a sacrifice to this artifact!"

Facing the notorious Spilt Water Can’t Be Regained, the fire mage player viewed him as a formidable opponent. Before the duel even started, he had already prepared for an attack.

"It’s a bit too much, isn’t it? You called it a Dark Gold equipment before, and now it’s an artifact. Make up your mind and tell me, what grade is it actually?"

Su Ran had developed a strong interest in this black wand. The way this guy revered it, it seemed like it indeed had impressive properties that could make him doubly confident in the upcoming battle. It was not an easy feat to witness a proper fight within the Earthly Fiend Group.

"Is there a difference? This wand embedded with the red gem is comparable to an artifact!"

The fire mage was anything but modest, extending the staff before him and sneering, "With this wand, killing you will be effortless. Remember, it will be I, North Mountain Evil Fire, who ends your winning streak."

"Dude, those words are pretty big. Less talk, reality will prove everything!"

Su Ran couldn’t stand to listen to such boasting any longer, eagerly hoping the match would start soon.

"Whoosh!"

As the system alert sounded, North Mountain Evil Fire launched a preemptive strike, instantly unleashing a Fire Bundle Strike towards Su Ran’s direction.

"Darn it, it doesn’t need any preparation time?"

Su Ran was caught completely off-guard and hurriedly dispelled the surrounding magical elements, stepping through the void to dodge the fiery assault.

"Not bad reflexes, truly deserving of your reputation as a master. But to think you can simply evade my pursuit... it won’t be that easy!"

North Mountain Evil Fire’s cold gaze fixed on Su Ran in the air, his wand tapping continually as fireballs shot out like a machine gun, forming a massive fire net in the sky and engulfing Su Ran.

"How can this be? Such a high rate of attack!"

Su Ran was astounded by the scene before him. He never imagined that a mage from the Earthly Fiend Group could possess such formidable power, with an attack speed so rarely seen in the world!

Thus, he had no time to counterattack, let alone summon his pet.

With fireballs blocking him from above, below, left, and right, Su Ran was shocked but not panicked. These were the most basic fireballs, which wouldn’t be fatal even if they hit him. As long as he could summon his pets, the real show would begin!

With that thought, Su Ran promptly abandoned his aerial advantage and swiftly plummeted towards the ground, clenching his scythe in front of him, ready to take the hits.

"Bang!"

The fireballs exploded, forcing Su Ran back a few steps and only reducing his health by a few dozen points, still within a tolerable range. He didn’t hesitate, intending to summon his Shield Skeleton immediately, but in the next moment, three of the dozen fireballs made a turn and continued towards Su Ran below. This unexpected attack shattered Su Ran’s plan to summon.

"How are this kid’s skills so bizarrely unique, even able to track with magic spells?"

Su Ran rapidly retreated, aiming to put some distance between himself and North Mountain Evil Fire, but the latter didn’t intend to let him go, relentlessly pursuing while launching more attacks. Fireballs nearly formed a fire dragon, roaring towards Su Ran.

"Impressive!"

Su Ran felt genuine admiration. He could never have anticipated encountering such an exceptional fire mage in the Earthly Fiend Group, someone who could wield fire magic to such a degree. Not to mention the Earthly Fiend Group, there were only a few in the Heavenly Gang Group who could outperform him!
