Chapter 14: Watch Out, I Won’t Hold Back Anymore!

“Could this Tortoise Title’s display be glitched? Maybe it actually has healing properties?” Chen Mo hinted again.

“Huh? Old Mo, you might be right! Fill your HP, let’s test it again!” Wang Lei urged excitedly.

Version 60’s early PK arena—
Undoubtedly the most chaotic battleground in history!

Beyond the usual unbearable class imbalance and lack of protection mechanics,
there were all sorts of absurd additions:

- Activating Awakening Skills
- Throwing items like darts, bombs, and Burning Bottles
- Consuming potions—HP, mana, or even damage-boosting varieties

After downing several Sky City Springs, Chen Mo’s health
(once critically low at 15%)
refilled completely.

“Old Mo, I’m starting now—might hurt a bit, endure it!”

Chen Mo: ……

Test commenced.
Wang Lei blasted Chen Mo backward with Mountain Splitter,
then immediately launched his combo:
Upward Thrust!
Xxx!
Upward Thrust!
Cross Slash!
……

Seconds later, the familiar scene replayed.
Chen Mo’s health, which had dropped to 70%,
leaped to 80% in an instant.

“Old Wang, looks like we guessed right! This Tortoise Title definitely has a hidden healing effect!” Chen Mo said gravely.

“Right! Though it’s probabilistic, recovering ~10% each time makes it a god-tier title in Pvp!” Wang Lei nodded, then grinned.

“Haha! With this healing boost, those guys who used to wreck me? Gonna flatten them this time!”

Chen Mo rolled his eyes at Wang Lei’s enthusiasm.
Such a golden opportunity presented itself,
and all Wang Lei could think about was revenge?
How tragically single-minded!

“Ahem. Old Wang, call Tengzi now. Have him rush here—we’re about to make him rich!”

“Rich? What kind of fortune?” Wang Lei asked, puzzled.

“You’ll see later!”
Too lazy to explain twice, Chen Mo withheld his plan.
Luckily, Wang Lei didn’t press further—
he merely flipped Chen Mo off, then dialed.

Minutes later, Wang Lei hung up.
“Old Mo, Tengzi says he’s free today—he’ll come soon!”

“Good!”
Chen Mo nodded, then gestured to the game.
“What now, Old Wang? Continue fighting?”

“Fight? Definitely! I’ll mop the floor with you at full HP!”

“Full HP? We’ll see who dominates who!”

“Huh?!”

For fairness, Chen Mo removed his Tortoise Title.
After refilling his health, he shouted:
“Ready, Old Wang!”

“O fucking K!”

Wang Lei immediately attacked from the room’s left side.
Triple Slash closed the distance—
Mountain Splitter struck!

Wang Lei had expected his Crescent Wave to hit,
but Mountain Splitter’s wider range should’ve guaranteed contact.
Yet as he swung,
Chen Mo effortlessly shifted two steps upward,
leaping into midair.

What—?!

Before Wang Lei could react,
a descending blade cleaved down—
Silver Falling Blade!

Launch successful!

Wang Lei: ???

As Wang Lei gawked, Chen Mo initiated his combo:
Upward Thrust!
Xxx!
Cross Slash!
Xxx!
……

This version’s update featured the Heavenly Scale System—a mechanic designed to help lower-level players compete.

When opponents’ levels differed drastically,
the system auto-balanced stats,
boosting lower-level characters’ damage—
the lower the level, the stronger the boost.

Despite being level 20 with garbage gear,
Chen Mo’s damage output surpassed Wang Lei’s (level 60)
thanks to this system.

After a short combo,
Chen Mo secured the kill.

K.O!

Wang Lei: ……

Before the match, Wang Lei had imagined countless outcomes—
but never imagined being utterly crushed by Chen Mo, a self-proclaimed “PK novice.”

Staring at the defeat screen, Wang Lei’s mouth went dry.

“Old Mo… have you done PK before? How’d you learn combos?!”

“What’s strange about that? I used the same moves fighting the Zombie King!” Chen Mo suppressed a laugh.

“Zombie King?! You—”

Realizing he’d been treated like a monster,
Wang Lei’s face darkened.
Clutching his teeth, he growled:
“Old Mo, rematch! This time, I won’t hold back!”

“Go ahead!”

Round Two began.
The map randomized to the Suspended City—
a bizarre terrain with massive fans on both sides.

Chen Mo stood right, Wang Lei left.

3!
2!
1!
Fight!

Remembering his reckless first round loss,
Wang Lei didn’t charge headfirst this time.
Instead, he cast Leap and began pacing cautiously.

Chen Mo smirked.
“Old Wang, why no aggression this time?”

“This? Just giving you a chance to strike first. Otherwise, you’d lose instantly!” Wang Lei replied, unfazed.

“Noble! True comrade spirit!”

Suppressing laughter, Chen Mo dashed leftward.
As he approached Wang Lei,
Crescent Wave slashed through the air—
Chen Mo shifted upward, dodging effortlessly.

Triple Slash closed the gap.
Soul-binding Claw!
Upward Thrust!
Wang Lei’s opening moves missed entirely.

Forced to leap skyward,
Wang Lei planned to retaliate with Silver Falling Blade—
but Chen Mo jumped too.

Both soared, then landed—
Wang Lei first, Chen Mo second.
The shockwave from Chen Mo’s landing launched Wang Lei upward.

“What the?!”

The familiar combo followed:
Upward Thrust!
Xxx!
Upward Thrust!
Midair slashes!
……

Within seconds, Wang Lei’s HP emptied again.

K.O!

“Ahem. Old Wang? Keep playing?”

The PK arena truly was a playground back then!
