Sitting sedately beside Xiao Yulv, the werewolf opened his wolf muzzle, and a foul odor permeated the air.
Old Xiao, what do you think about that Song Qingfeng? He played the game the longest; do you think he has the potential to get first place?


I’m familiar with the King of Fighters.
Xiao Yulv regained his confidence when talking about the game.
This game requires cleverness, which means that having played the longest doesn’t equal high skills. Besides, there are several others who have played the game as long as he has.


Duke Nalan is both experienced and talented. Do you think he has the potential to be the champion?
Mu Donglai asked again.
Xiao Yulv shook his head and pointed out,
Old Duke indeed has great battle experience and strength, but he doesn’t have any advantage in Qzone.

Mu Donglai asked,
I heard some players in Half City Shop excel in the King of Fighters. Do you think they will take the top places?



Xiao Yulv waved his hand and said,
They are mostly women and are thus insignificant in this game.

Hearing his words, Mu Donglai looked at Xiao Yulv’s outfit up and down and was at a loss for words.

Watch the match! Watch the match!
The big werewolf sitting beside them also looked embarrassed.
– On the big screen –

We’re now broadcasting the King of Fighters Competition live! I’m Biyao and one of the hosts of this event!


I’m Little White, the other host of the event.
The camera turned to the temporary hosts. Biyao and the nine-tailed demon fox Little White stood together with microphones in their hands, looking quite professional.
Little White suddenly seemed to find that something was wrong with her microphone, and she glanced at the microphone in Biyao’s hand.
Then, she turned her microphone around without showing any emotions on her face.

Let’s continue with the topic.


Right now, our first group of contestants is in position.



On the big screen, many contestants went onto the platforms wearing their cosplay costumes. On the left, a guy wearing Chris’ costume from Resident Evil had begun choosing his characters.
Beside him sat a Wesker who also began choosing characters after casting a glance at him.
On the other side, a girl wearing Athena’s costume chose Athena as her character.
Beside her was a girl wearing Lin Yueru’s costume
Then, three Li Xiaoyaos ran up.
…
– In the lounge area of the Jiuhua City shop –
A purple-robed old man and an old Daoist wearing a white robe and a jade belt sat on a couch, each with a cup of milk tea in their hands.
Beside them, Li Longyuan pointed at the big screen and said,
Master, this is the competition that this shop is hosting. They held such competitions before. This time, they gave a special name to this competition—E-Esports.

At this moment, the camera turned to the players who used Athena and Terry. ‘Athena’ pushed the joystick wildly, and Athena on the screen moved nimbly, hitting Terry so hard that the latter hammered his hand on the joystick in frustration.


Li Longyuan explained,
This game requires the players to have good reflexes and judgment. Compared with chess, you must move swiftly in the game. The moment your mind falls behind, you’ll be overwhelmed by your rival’s storm-like attacks. More importantly, when you reach a high level in the game, you can unlock the fighter’s fist techniques and spiritual spells.


Of course, the shop also offers battles in virtual reality mode besides these, allowing you to fight through puppets,
Ling Wanyin added,
They are more realistic!

The old Daoist wearing white robe and the jade belt said with a nod,
The E-Sports mode enriches cultivators’ battle experience without causing casualties, which means that the major factions won’t suffer from unnecessary losses of their talented disciples in practice battles. Very good!


Indeed.
The purple-robed Daoist said,
The grandmasters here can even mimic the laws of nature of the outside world and use them in the virtual reality world?

Li Longyuan said in a low voice,
The sunlight in the Taixi Faction that we saw from our factions was in fact the technique named ‘Orochi Divine Light’ from the King of Fighters…

Instantly, the purple-robed Daoist and the white-robed Daoist widened their eyes.
What!? Then, why did you recommend Devil May Cry 3 to us?! We died hundreds of times in that game!

They pointed at the big screen and said,
Is this the King of Fighters you mentioned? Are you sure?!

Li Longyuan and Ling Wanyin said,
We’re sure.


I didn’t know that!
The purple-robed Daoist took out his communication jade and said,
No wonder the Wuwei Daoist Alliance refused to attend the Cultivation Realm Conference!

The white-robed Daoist said,
Their stuff is indeed much more precious than ours!




But we can’t just dump the Cultivation Realm Conference that we inherited from our ancestors,
the purple-robed Daoist said with a frown.

Maybe we can change the Cultivation Realm Conference into…

They said simultaneously,
Cultivation Realm E-Sports Competition!

They laughed.
This way, our two factions will get out of the current crisis very soon.


I think we can unite with the top force from the other shop that Longyuan just mentioned,
the purple-robed Daoist said while clapping his hands and laughing.

Good idea!
The white-robed Daoist warmed up with this topic and got excited.
Then, the whole world will know about our Cultivation Realm E-Sports Competition!


But…
Li Longyuan said in worry,
We will need the support of the shop owner. After all, only he has been holding the E-Sport Competitions…


He does his business, and we hold our competition; we don’t interfere with each other.
The White-robed Daoist said with a snort,
When we held our Cultivation Realm Conference, we never interfered with the other factions’ internal competitions among disciples!


I think Longyuan has a point,
the purple-robed Daoist said.
After all, the E-Sports Competition can only be held in this shop.

Solemnly, they discussed this issue while sipping milk tea.
We’ll hold a world-scale Cultivation Realm Conference which is much grander than before; the elites from all over the world will gather together and compete with each other!




It will be a much-anticipated glorious event!

Hahaha! This E-Sports is excellent!

They continued sipping red bean milk tea with straws.
Meanwhile, new contestants appeared on the screen. Seeing the contestants of the King of Fighters Competition fiercely fighting on stage, some young men who were familiar with the moves couldn’t remain on their seats.
An Iori Yagami jumped onto the platform.

Look! Iori Yagami!

Under everyone’s gaze, Iori stretched and launched several of Iori’s moves with energy,
Guoooo… Shine! Guoooo… Shine!

[TL Note: Guoooo… Shine(Japanese) means Guooooh… Die]
Then, he got off the platform with his hands in his pockets and took a seat.

Wow!


Iori Yagami! Iori Yagami!

The fans of the King of Fighters cheered wildly.

Hehe! It’s my turn!
On the other side, Kyo Kusanagi and Benimaru Nikaido also jumped onto the platform.

Hehehe… I didn’t expect this, but the main characters are all on stage now.
‘Biyao’ handed her microphone to Little White and walked up to the platform.
It seems that I must show my moves too.


Humph!
With a snort, a beautiful girl with waist-length hair walked up; she wore a pure white uniform and a pair of tight-fitting trousers

Chizuru Kagura?!


Go! Go! Junior Sister Liu!
The disciples from ‘Green Cloud Faction’ cheered enthusiastically.

Fck! Look at that Iori Yagami! He took down three opponents with one!


This Kyo Kusanagi is awesome!


Look at that Chizuru Kagura!
Behind ‘Chizuru Kagura’ on the platform, Chizuru Kagura on the screen used a combo of 27 moves.

Fck! She took her opponent from full HP to zero!

The atmosphere of the competition and in the shop instantly reached the highest point!
