The Master s Mask Unveiled Again

Chapter 315: Chapter 314: Lu Mian is out of his league in every aspect!

Looking at Lu Mian, it initially seemed that she was running around randomly, but upon closer observation, it became apparent that the places she had run through had patterns and hidden purposes; she wasn’t running blindly at all.

This time, to trigger the biggest secret reward, one simply needed to run in a pattern that formed the letters SF on the map to receive the largest gift reward.

Various rare materials, weapon components, and so on—all of them top-notch.

Not many people knew this secret, and the various guides on the internet weren’t true either; they only triggered other rewards, not this biggest one.

The classmates behind her were shocked; in all the years since Valley of Heroes went online, they had never seen anyone trigger such a huge reward. What excited them even more was that they were watching it live this time!

Discussing how a nobody could have such outrageous luck.

“This set of rewards, if sold to competitive teams, could definitely fetch several million!”

“Following Lu Mian has been an eye-opener; I’ve never seen such rare materials before!”

“Bro Mian, your skills are average, but your luck is incredible!” Shouhao said euphemistically.

Shouhao, Su Luo, and others couldn’t help but envy her good fortune.

But how could there be so much luck in the world?

Lu Mian pursed her lips, she just understood a little bit more than others.

Lu Mian clicked to claim the reward, and with a devilish smirk and sarcasm, she waved across to Sheng Zixin.

Shouhao couldn’t wait and urged her, “Bro Mian, hurry up and put on your new equipment, beat him up while he still hasn’t found anything good!”

As long as Lu Mian put on the reward equipment, she would basically be able to beat the opponent blindfolded.

Lu Mian didn’t do so; instead, she took the opportunity to run around the map for a bit longer, with the notification sound of “please claim your reward” ringing nonstop.

Across the way, Sheng Zixin felt like he had been cursed. The skilled were laboriously running around the map, while the technically weak relied on dumb luck to score big.

He was almost to the point of breaking.

“Sheng, don’t be discouraged! Now you can only rely on skill to beat Lu Mian!”

“Lu Mian is holding a pile of treasures, but it’s useless if she can’t use them. Sheng, you still have a big chance!”

Sheng Zixin nodded and steadied his heart before deciding to go after Lu Mian first.

The people behind Lu Mian kept advising her on what to do, and the bystanders seemed even more nervous and worried than she, the party involved, was.

Lu Mian didn’t carry anything with her, just waiting for Sheng Zixin to come over, looking as if she was seeking death.

However, after the first attack from Sheng Zixin came her way, an even more shocking turn of events occurred.

Lu Mian, previously labeled as having poor skills, suddenly made her game character leap into the air, wielding a basic spear. In the process of falling, she rapidly activated her skills.

Wow!

The eyes of the onlookers brightened. That airborne move was executed beautifully. What surprised them even more was that Lu Mian was about to unleash a combo skill!

At this moment, everyone could only see Lu Mian’s hands moving quickly and methodically. They couldn’t even see what she had done in the previous step before she sprang into the next one.

“Five-hit combo.”

“Six-hit combo.”

Chain-combo skills are a technical feat that test quick reflexes. Normally, only professional esports players who have undergone specialized training can achieve so many consecutive hits.

Lu Mian’s classmates silently watched her screen, counting the hits in shocked silence and tacit understanding.

“Eight-hit combo.”

“Nine-hit combo!”

Could this be—

Sheng Zixin’s phone suddenly trembled and dropped to the ground; he was dumbfounded looking at Lu Mian.

His character in the game, under that recent nine-hit combo,

had its health depleted and died.

Instant kill.

Just moments ago, they were mocking Lu Mian’s crappy skills, and now they had been KO’d by those very “crappy skills.”

Sheng Zixin sprang up, his eyes suddenly shining as he looked at Lu Mian. All thoughts of the game’s outcome gone, his voice trembling slightly, he said, “Do you realize that the nine-hit combo also goes by the name Phoenix Dance to the Heavens…”

Phoenix Dance to the Heavens, a skill embedded into the Valley of Heroes game by San Qianyu. If you could release nine different skills in rapid succession without a break, the ultimate strike would be unleashed.

Everyone was clueless.

Sheng Zixin blurted out with excitement, “That’s San Qianyu’s killer move!”

Lu Mian slightly tilted her head, a clear look of puzzlement emerging through the indifference in her eyes.

So what?

“I’ve studied that killer move for three years and still haven’t mastered it. Countless esports players can only reach a six or seven-hit combo. How, how did you do it!”

“Ah.” Lu Mian looked unenthusiastic, her tone indifferent, “Just cut one hit from the combo.”

“!!!” Listen to this, can you believe what she said?!

Sheng Zixin took a sharp breath, the words truly fitting Lu Mian’s character. Though arrogant, when she said them, coupled with her nonchalant expression, they somehow made people unconsciously convinced.

So, was she faking it while playing on her phone earlier? Or was it just annoyance?

He suddenly changed his demeanor completely and raised a fist towards Lu Mian.

“Lu Mian, I, Sheng Zixin, am totally convinced by you!”

Sheng Zixin had really been terrified of Lu Mian. He had come to a conclusion: never try to provoke Lu Mian, or you’ll be the one getting slapped in the face.

Only because he never learned his lesson did he get trounced and humiliated time and again.

Unfortunately, he realized it too late.

In any aspect, he was no match for Lu Mian!

This time, Sheng Zixin willingly handed over his last school badge.

And so, this exchange ended with Kunpeng High School’s sweeping victory over Jinjing’s Era Middle School. What was even more spectacular was that all of these victories were won single-handedly by Lu Mian!

Her brilliant achievements would be displayed in the school showcase, recorded in her shoddy files, and imprinted in everyone’s memory.

Sheng Zixin still had that combo on his mind and swiftly changed the subject, “Lu Mian, from now on, I’m your diehard fan. Can you teach me that Phoenix Dance to the Heavens move?”

Fat Hao and Shouhao unfeelingly blocked Lu Mian’s path, staring him down.

“Do you think just anyone can be our Bro Mian’s fan?” They’re not just any Galaxy Guard for Mian!

Hmph.

Even though they won the match, there was a palpable sense of gloom hanging over Lu Mian.

Su Luo pulled Lu Mian aside, looking at her, “What’s wrong with you?”

Not happy even after a grand victory?

Lu Mian pressed her lips together, shaking her head in confusion, “Nothing.”

Then she headed back to the classroom.

People were used to her somewhat cold persona. Maybe, with all the recent competitions, the prodigy was just fed up.

Luckily, it was all over now, and they could brag about it to their heart’s content.

“I think it’s time for our class to have a dinner party!”

“Yeah, yeah, our class is the real lucky one — look who will dare to look down on Class 1 (25) now!”

Fat Hao and Shouhao bubbled with enthusiasm, shouting excitedly from meters away.

“Bro Mian, let’s go for dinner tonight!”
