Chapter 217 Virtual Arena
As people gradually received the Extraordinary Bracelet, the functions that Qin Le had set up inside it were also developed one by one.
It also includes some entertainment features from the virtual universe of the bracelet—the virtual arena!
The standard mode of the virtual duel arena involves inviting two people to enter the virtual universe and placing them into a special terrain generated by the system.
Both sides may use any means to fight within the designated area, and the one who survives to the end wins.
All damage in the virtual universe is fake, and everything that happens in the arena is a false illusion. The participants will not need to bear any psychological pressure.
Tangmen.
After obtaining the Extraordinary Bracelet and entering the virtual universe, Malone immediately saw the virtual arena inside.
He had now officially begun his first match in the virtual arena.
The terrain generated by the game system was a forest. He hid in the shadows of the treetops, watching the figure searching for him in the forest.
He knew that he could take the life of the person below at any time if he wanted to.
But he hesitated.
As Ma Long looked at the figures below, sweat involuntarily seeped from his palms.
Even though he knew it was fake, and the system had told him when he first entered the arena that his deaths and injuries in the arena were fake, and that it was all a simulated illusion.
But he still couldn't bring himself to deliver that final blow!
Everything in the arena was so real that he couldn't believe it was fake.
Although he had already fought against the Biheren during the sword-testing tournament at Changbai Mountain and successfully drew blood.
But he didn't actually take Higanbana's life back then.
But this time, what he's going to do is truly take that person's life!
If there were any skilled members of the Tang Clan present at this moment, they would have noticed that Ma Long had completely lost the demeanor expected of a Tang Clan disciple.
His rapid breathing and trembling arms, if it weren't for the fact that his opponent wasn't very skilled, would have completely exposed Malone's true nature.
Just as Malone was convincing himself that it was all just a game and preparing to truly end the match, he suddenly realized that the match was over, and a notification sound rang out in the air.
[Ding! Your opponent has forfeited. Congratulations to player Ma Long for winning.]
what?
Ma Long didn't expect that while he was making mental preparations, his opponent had already chosen to surrender and admit defeat because he couldn't find him.
He exited the virtual universe in a daze, suddenly doubting whether he was capable of being an assassin and whether he should switch to another skill.
Beside him, Xu Xin stood watching him expressionlessly.
"What? You met a master and couldn't beat them?"
Hearing Xu Xin's words, Ma Long lowered his head even further and said shamefully, "The opponent was a novice, and I didn't know how to start. The opponent surrendered and admitted defeat on his own."
Xu Xin nodded, having already sensed something was amiss.
“You people living in the new era are good in every way except that you have never experienced death. You don’t need to be too sad. Your current behavior is normal. If you could really be ruthless and kill people from the beginning, that would be abnormal.”
“But you guys are lucky to have something as good as the Extraordinary Bracelet.” Xu Xin raised the bracelet on his wrist and said to Ma Long, “Come on, let’s enter the virtual universe and have a match with you. You’ve never killed anyone before, right? I’ll let you experience it without any guilt.”
Ma Long didn't understand Xu Xin's words at first and looked at him blankly.
"Elder Xu, what do you mean?"
"Idiot! The virtual arena lets you challenge opponents, right? Why don't you challenge me? I'll just stand here and let you kill me once so you can experience what it's like."
"This...this works!" Ma Long waved his hands repeatedly.
Xu Xin was an elder in the sect, of the same generation as his master, so Ma Long didn't dare to lay a hand on him.
"What are you afraid of?! It's all virtual, what's wrong with taking action? Stop talking nonsense and get started."
After scolding Ma Long, Xu Xin sat cross-legged on the ground and entered the virtual universe.
Seeing that he had already entered, Malone had no choice but to sit cross-legged to the side and enter the virtual universe as well.
……
Virtual arena.
The terrain simulated by the system was a hilltop, and Xu Xin staggered toward Ma Long.
"Hurry up and come over. Once you're ready, let's get started and you can finish your experience as soon as possible."
Ma Long approached Xu Xin shakily, and having mentally prepared himself, he raised the Tang Clan's needles with both hands.
"I have offended Elder Xu."
Just as Ma Long was about to make a move, Xu Xin smiled and Ma Long felt a sharp pain in his body.
It felt as if thousands of ants were gnawing at his body. The pain seemed to come from the depths of his soul. Even Ma Long, who had undergone years of arduous training in the Tang Sect, could not help but howl in agony.
As Malone lost consciousness, he was forcibly pulled out of the virtual universe when he opened his eyes again.
Xu Xin stood up, looked at Ma Long, and said coldly.
“Marlon, I’m going to teach you a lesson now. As an assassin, never believe what others say, especially when they say they won’t fight back. Never forget your own methods.”
Although it was virtual, the pain from just now seemed to be right in front of him. Ma Long forced himself to forget the pain and raised his hand to bow to Xu Xin.
"Thank you for your teachings, Elder Xu. I will keep them in mind."
Xu Xin nodded in satisfaction as he watched Ma Long's performance.
He wasn't angry even though he was tricked by his elders, and he didn't forget the etiquette of the Tang Clan even though he had just experienced death. In the future, Ma Long will definitely be an excellent Tang Clan disciple.
"How does it feel to be killed? You're very lucky. Although you haven't experienced the feeling of killing yet, you've personally experienced being killed. This is an experience that Tang Sect disciples never had the chance to enjoy."
Looking at Ma Long, who was standing there with a wry smile, Xu Xin continued, "And how did I feel about the Tang Sect's Dan Shi? You are the second person to have experienced Dan Shi and still be alive."
Dan Shi?!
Upon hearing Xu Xin's words, Ma Long realized that the technique Xu Xin had just used in the virtual arena was the Tang Sect's ultimate skill, Dan Shi!
He said he was poisoned before he could react to anything, and he didn't see how Xu Xin poisoned him at all. So that's what the Devouring Pill was.
"Hey, Elder Xu, why do you say it's the second one? Has anyone else experienced it?" Ma Long asked curiously.
Xu Xin pointed to himself.
"Of course it was me. When I entered the virtual universe, I was curious whether dying inside would affect my physical body. In addition, I was also very curious about what Dan Shi felt like, so I used Dan Shi on myself."
