"Idle is idle anyway, so this recent period ...... I studied the way I used the sword a little more. ”

In the sound of the huge wind roar and the cough of the broken wind and thunder, the young man who raised his head and Duan Qing's eyes from above and down gradually converged: "I'm not as busy as my two eldest brothers seem, so...... You know, I have a lot of time and leisure to dive into the secrets of this field. ”

“…… What about your results? ”

"I've come to the conclusion that the sword of intent needs to consume people's mental power."

Tapping his head with his finger, Duan Shanhe raised his slightly serious voice: "This is not the spiritual power of the characters in the free world, but the spiritual power of the players themselves - if you want to really change the original structure of the virtual world, imagination alone is not enough." ”

"Connect, build, and integrate with the rules of this world...... Even today, in the 22nd century, human beings have reached an extremely high level of physical fitness, and it is very difficult to achieve this. Broken Shanhe stretched out a hand he clenched: "I tried several times to reconstruct the laws of other game worlds in the free world, but in the end I gave up because I almost passed out, and the security guards that have been forcibly installed in the game pod by Alliance Protocol 7 have also kicked me back from the brink of danger several times......"

"Forcibly using the sword will not only be kicked out of the system, but it will also cause great damage to people's spirits." He waved his raised fist to the side: "Am I right, Broken Heaven...... No, Mo Shangqingshan? ”

“…… Wonderful conclusion. ”

Duan Qing, who was still sitting on the top of the hall, was silent for a long time, and then slapped his crossed arms: "It's a pity...... It's not close. ”

“…… Oh? What's the problem? ”

"Just like the martial arts that exist in the rivers and lakes, comprehension is a major indicator that determines whether you can learn what martial arts and to what extent." Duan Qing pointed to the top of his head: "Everyone's physical fitness and qualifications will be slightly different, the conclusion you have reached...... Maybe it's just for you. ”

"Do you want to say that my mental power is much worse than yours?" Broken Shanhe shook his head indifferently: "Don't be kidding, I'm also one of the experiencers of that death realm now, even if my brain is stupid, a truth is still very easy to understand——"

"There may be a significant difference between having ten mana and having fifty mana, but in the face of the need for 10,000 mana...... The difference is not at all. Duan Qing's gaze became more and more serious, and he shouted loudly into the sky with one hand on his waist: "If you want to completely break the barrier of virtual reality, you have to pay the price of your life...... Isn't it? ”

“……”

"We've had a lot of speculations in private."

Looking at the other party who fell silent again, Broken Wind Thunder, who had just taken the healing potion, slowly straightened his body: "You feel that you have won the championship and won the softness, you feel that the professional world has become boring and you have retired, you have been threatened by other people who are not used to you and fled, your family has changed, the family is unsustainable and you give up, you can't get used to your marriage contract, so you eloped hand in hand with your old lover......"

"Don't think I'm joking, we've checked the existence of these possibilities one by one." He raised his head: "It's a pity that it wasn't until we ruled out so many years and finally came to this day that we discovered this new possibility, that is, ...... There may be something wrong with your body. ”

"You've been gone for three years...... Is it still a living person? The broken mountain river on the side then asked very tacitly: "Can you still play the game like a normal person?" ”

“…… Nonsense. ”

It seemed that he had endured it for a long time, and Duan Qing, who was sitting above, finally raised his head and made his own retorting voice: "Of course Lao Tzu is still alive, I was a guest in the commentary seat during the League Cup before, do you want to pull the flowers over and ask?" ”

"You didn't show up at all, you just kept commenting on the game with your voice." Broken Wind Thunder grinned and showed a smile: "With the current level of technology...... It should be very easy for a player to narrate a game in real time over the Internet, right? ”

“…… I want to kudos to your imagination. Duan Qing sighed helplessly: "But...... You guessed it, I couldn't have been there for that occasion......"

"Is it because you're a fake?" Broken Shanhe then said loudly: "You have no entity at all in reality? ”

"What do you mean by having no entity? A living man the size of Lao Tzu—"

"You don't want to deceive the eyes of our Long brothers! You died three years ago! ”

“…… Ha? ”

"Three years ago, your body collapsed due to the overuse of the sword of will, so you borrowed other powers to hide your consciousness in the virtual world! It's the safest place and the easiest place to use your strength...... Right? ”

“…… So what are you talking about......

"Then why haven't you shown up!?"

“…… I don't want to show my face, can't I? ”

"I'm afraid it's not that you don't want to show up, but you can't show up at all, right? A man who has become a revenant...... Hmph, hehehe, what a blade that breaks the sky, and if he dies, he will deceive us all over again. ”

"He's meowing, are you a magic barrier, I said I can't show up!"

As if he was irritated by the whimsy of the two people below, Duan Qing's voice finally became angry: "If you are really caught by them......

“……“

“……”

“…… They? ”

“…… Damn, you're going to set me up, aren't you? ”

The atmosphere of silence and awkwardness was dispersed over the square by the sudden and simultaneous silence of both sides of the conversation, and finally broke with the result of both sides speaking at the same time: "You two guys who sing and harmonize...... Lao Tzu will actually fall for you! ”

"Less nonsense, can I hear the truth from you without a set?" Duan Shanhe, who exchanged glances with his brother, replied with a smug face: "You have to keep your mouth shut about the past, you can't blame me for being unjust." ”

"There's no point in hiding it." With a long breath, the Broken Wind Thunder slapped his fist vigorously, and then gestured to the sky: "Anyway, the rumors outside have begun to fly all over the sky, and the target of those accidents is ...... Sooner or later, it will also fall on your head. ”

"Tell me, who told you to retire." His face darkened: "What happened three years ago?" ”

“…… Forget it, it's probably useless to tell you anyway. ”

Scratching the back of his head, Duan Qing, who had an ugly face, finally pursed his lips: "After today, it will probably be meaningless for this matter to spread out." ”

“…… What did you say? ”

"Three years ago...... There have been some accidents. ”

Covering up the words he had said to himself before, Duan Qing began to say in a long voice: "Specific people...... They are all members of our Kluhid guild, and they have approached me through Chen Tiancheng and hope that I can teach them some skills in the competition. ”

"The skill of the game?" Duan Shanhe took the lead in raising his eyebrows: "I'm afraid it's not the skill of Yijian, right?" ”

"I didn't see their purpose at first."

Without denying the other party's statement, Duan Qing continued in a low voice: "However, for the sake of the face of the Heavenly Shield, I still accepted the pleas of those little guys...... What to watch? I could have called it that, was there a problem? ”

"No problem, no problem, you are always our senior...... Please go ahead. ”

"Anyway, I taught them some simple tricks, and there is nothing to do with the sword."

It seemed that he had finally fallen into the atmosphere of reminiscence, and Duan Qing's voice became low: "The little ones are very good, and they have not been scolded by me, some of them ...... He also showed a good talent at the time. ”

"One of them...... I remember his name was Qiu Mingyang, a pretty good name. Sitting cross-legged on a high place, his eyes gradually focused on one point: "He is very diligent, and he has never been afraid of being bullied by me, whenever he has combat skills that he doesn't understand, he will always find us for advice as soon as possible......

"Qiu Mingyang?" The two brothers, who were next to each other as listeners, looked at each other: "Is there such a person among the pros?" ”

“…… Of course not, because he was long dead. Duan Qing replied expressionlessly, "I died three years ago. ”

“…… Because you taught him the sword? ”

"Even if it was the main members of Kruhid at that time, I didn't teach them anything about the Yijian." Duan Qing shook his head and replied, "For this matter, Phantom Dream has quarreled with me many times, but it was only after that incident happened later...... He also thought that I had secretly conferred it. ”

"Slowly, slowly, can you explain it one by one?"

"Now I want to say that I can't understand it either, because I also have a lot of things I don't understand."

His eyes lost their original brilliance in the process of gradually condensing, and Duan Qing replied in a low voice: "Anyway, that little guy somehow learned how to use the Yi Sword, and later showed off his might in the world of the Rise of the Empire for a while, and after challenging several masters among the civilian players, he also excitedly declared to us that he was about to be worthy of his name and win glory for the guild and the clan......"

And then ...... He's gone? ”

"No, including the guys who get along well with him."

Answering the natural question that Broken Wind Thunder then asked, Duan Qing looked up at the nearby sky that was gradually obscured by the clouds: "We found them in the training camp of the clan at that time, they all died in their respective game cabins, and the people of the alliance later took over the investigation of this incident, but they did not come to any valid conclusions in the end. ”

"In the end, the matter was settled, and the alliance finally chose to hide it." Speaking of this, he let out a long sigh: "They think that this incident will have a bad impact on the virtual game industry, and it will also have a big impact on the reputation of the teams, including me, the favorite to win the championship. ”

“…… What about the cause of death? ”

"Nervous failure."

Deeply burying his head, Duan Qing propped his hands on his knees: "Since then, I have never mentioned the matter of Yijian. ”

“…… Didn't the people of the alliance let you go in the end? ”

"No, it wasn't them who didn't let me go, but the people of the Duan family."

His eyes were buried in the action of bowing his head, and Duan Qing's back began to rise and fall violently: "No matter how much you hide it, those family patriarchs and family heads who are at the top of the interests still can't hide it, and some of them have long hated the words 'Heaven Breaking Blade', and they may have already seen this opportunity to exert pressure...... Soon, I received an order from my father, who asked me to quit the world of virtual games and go back to inherit the Duan family's family business. ”

"It was the day I played the League Cup final, and I got that communication in the hallway of celebration." His head seemed to be buried deeper and deeper: "And then ...... I retired. ”

"That's it?" Yu waited quietly in silence for a while, and said indifferently in a voice of Broken Wind and Thunder: "I can't understand it, but the patriarch of the nobility shouldn't give up your value easily because of the pressure brought by these few lives, right?" You're not ......."

"That was my last day as a young man in the Duan family."

As if understanding what the other party's doubts were, Duan Qing raised his head and interrupted the other party's words: "When I returned to the Duan family, what I saw was not my father's serious face, but his unconscious body lying on the hospital bed......

"What?" Broken Wind Thunder asked in surprise, "How is that possible?" The Duan family was also one of the famous big families at that time, how could they change the successor at will because of this matter? ”

"This little thing is enough, because it is the current head of the Duan family, my dear uncle, who made this decision." Duan Qing's voice was like a low cry coming from under the Nine Shadows: "Everything has been arranged a long time ago, everything is ...... I'm afraid it was arranged before this series of events. ”

"Now that I think about it...... Duan Qingchun, the original head of the Duan family, did have news of a similar accident during that time. Duan Shanhe pinched his chin in a low voice: "...... And then what? And then you left? ”

"Don't think they'll let me go so easily, if I hadn't left early, I'd have died several times." Duan Qing shook his head and replied, "You should all know about the rivalry between the big families, dirty and dirty are just words used to describe the mildest techniques, and after the people of the Duan family found that they couldn't completely extinguish my only flame by all means, they moved those previous things to the front of the alliance. ”

"If I show the slightest hint of wanting to make waves in the future, they will reveal the culprits who killed those young people in the first place."

Pointing to the clouds that had become cloudy due to the drop in the height of Sky City, Duan Qing let out a few self-deprecating chuckles: "This ......"

"Probably that's the ultimate meaning of the rumors you're hearing right now."
