The Immortal Ruins - Chapter 37 The Omnipotent Netizens
A short video, only several seconds long, taken in the danger zone.
Two huge wild boars were resting by a heap of rocks. Suddenly, their bellies were sliced open and they died as a figure flashed by.
The female boar had a big belly and was obviously pregnant, but the figure still cruelly killed it.
“Who was that?”
Jiang Shaoliu stopped to watch the video again.
He had seen those wild boars before. He let them go out of mercy, even though he was hungry.
Most importantly, they had clearly never killed people, since there was no scent of human blood on them.
He never thought there were such cruel people.
It was indistinct, but he could see in the video that the figure’s hair was red.
He knew of only one redhead who could run like that. It can only be the leader of the Yungang League – Chi Xiao.
“He’s a bloodthirsty maniac with three silver life rings and it’s said that he has killed over a thousand beasts.” Jiang Shaoliu clenched his fists, “If he wants to challenge me, I accept!”
The military had got intel that Chi Xiao had taken his team to Sector 2 and the task force would almost certainly come upon them while retrieving the fruit.
“The Ice Lotus, Yin Manshu, Chi Xiao, Li Bailong from the Hongfa Group, and the Lion Warrior, Ling Yuetao, from the military.” Jiang Shaoliu’s eyes glittered with fighting spirit.
The top four masters of Yungang City would all come to Liang Duan Mountain.
The locals were excited and even opened started a poll on the city forum’s to pick their favorites. There were so many rumors that the discussion covered almost 80% of the forum’s front page.
The Lion Warrior won the most votes, being the favorite of almost half of the population.
“Sources confirm that the Lion Warrior has obtained four silver life rings. With the military’s assistance, he will surely be the one who brings back the fruit.”
“How did you get this information? Show me the evidence! The three top masters will cooperate and kill him, just wait and see.”
“Who cares about the ‘top four masters’? They’re nothing at all. Why don’t they get the damn rock down from the sky if they’re so strong?”
Jiang Shaoliu read with amusement. “The fight hasn’t even started and people are already at each other’s throats.”
Most of the hottest discussion threads were focused on the top four masters’ strength.
Some people were comparing their signature moves while others were trying to calculate their exact speeds and striking power based on videos on the internet.
“Everyone’s an ‘expert’ these days…” Jiang Shaoliu sighed.
Within hours the wisdom of the crowd succeeded in working out an analysis very similar to the intelligence report Jiang Shaoliu had been shown by the military. A user called ruthless_data had posted a detailed summary of each of the four great masters’ abilities and characteristics.
“The top four masters gather at Liang Duan Mountain. Who’ll emerge on top? See my analysis and predictions of the final result.”
Jiang Shaoliu was tempted to click and perused the article with growing interest.
“Li Bailong from the Hongfa Group has three silver rings. This analysis is based on four known videos totaling about 7 minutes of footage. It seems his preferred weapon is a longsword, which we can call the White Dragon Sword since it’s just like a dragon when he fights. We can assume that his breathing technique is a True Treasure. Li Yuetao is from the military and his codename is Lion Warrior”
