Your title has been updated to – Hater Raiser

This was the first voice prompt Feng Bujue heard upon returning to the login space...

"Why did it turn out like this…" Feng Bujue squinted at his new title, his mouth twitching, feeling utterly dejected. "I just figured out how to use high-level data… and I immediately lost my title ability. Without [Battle Demon Advent]… even if I leveled up to the max, I might not reach that kind of realm…" He thought for a moment, "And… without [Battle Demon Advent], I'm in danger in the finals…"

He immediately opened the menu to check the new title ability.

[Name: Hate Furnace]

[Special Ability Type: Passive]

[Effect: Each attack you suffer will restore a certain amount of stamina and reduce the cooldown time of all your skills (the benefit is proportional to the severity of the injury; the attacker must harbor hostility towards you; natural disasters, accidental injuries, or self-harm will not trigger the skill)]

[Note: Being targeted means you have strength, or you're just annoying...]

"This…" Feng Bujue thought, "For players with many active skills, this title ability is indeed a godsend." He glanced at his skill bar, "But… I only use four skills frequently in combat. Among them, [Ling Shi Gathering Technique] is a continuous consumption skill, while [Moon Step] and [Rankyaku] have no cooldowns. Therefore, only [Nanto Flying Dragon Fist] benefits from it…"

While Jue-Ge was pondering these things, he was standing in front of the touchscreen, his peripheral vision fixed on the mailbox, eyeing the surging number of emails… He didn't even need to click in to know that his blacklist would undergo a massive expansion…

At this moment, a communication request window popped up. Feng Bujue connected it and said, "You're done too?"

The voice on the other end was naturally that of Wang Tanzhi: "Actually, when you and Xu Huai Shang were striking a pose in the arena, I was already in the mall…"

"Heh… so you saw this daddy's invincible performance." Feng Bujue said shamelessly.

"Where were you invincible…" Xiao Tan retorted, "You were almost killed, weren't you? And you got slapped in the face repeatedly, okay? You said you'd handle it in thirty seconds, but you failed. You said you'd tear someone apart, but you didn't succeed. In the end, you only won because of Kojin's existence. It felt like you only won by 'a tiny bit'!"

"Hmph…" Jue-Ge snorted, "You wouldn't understand defeating Qisha with style points."

"I've never heard of such a strange statistic…"

"You don't even know that… it seems that you, as a riajuu, are still too ignorant. When you're repenting for your life at the stake, you'll have many regrets…"

"Why did the topic suddenly turn to me! And it's completely meaningless! It's just a curse and mockery!"

"Stop talking nonsense! It's expected that there will be budget constraints after a lengthy and continuous battle scene." Feng Bujue replied righteously, "Whenever this happens, the main character must shoulder the responsibility of filling up the transitional chapter."

"Budget constraints are a reason! This isn't a cartoon!" Xiao Tan roared.

"Inspiration is also a kind of budget, you bastard! Don't underestimate the author! Do you think battle scenes are easy to write? Describing them word by word, racking your brains to imagine the scenes, frantically looking up information; to maintain the rhythm, the content of fifteen thousand words is divided into three chapters instead of six or seven chapters, and as a result, it's still considered too slow to update." Feng Bujue said, "If this daddy wrote it, battles would usually be condensed into a single sentence… like 'A smashed B's head with an ashtray'; and war scenes are usually summarized with sentences like 'Millions of iron cavalry trampled Kyushu, three thousand city management officers leveled the world.' How could an amateur like you understand how difficult it is to create complex violent scenes with imagination!"

"Are you blatantly speaking up for the author out of concern for some kind of situation…" Xiao Tan said, "Speaking of which, this nonsense has been going on for two hundred words, it should be about enough…"

"Eh~ Right, how was your match?" Feng Bujue's tone changed, asking casually, "You finished so quickly, were you insta-killed?"

"Your switch is a little too fast…" Xiao Tan was stunned for a moment, then replied, "Um… actually, I insta-killed someone else." He paused for a moment, "Let's not talk about my business… do you know your current situation…"

"What situation?" Feng Bujue even replied with a rather smug tone, "It's nothing more than the popularity of the ID [Crazy Bujue] reaching new heights, adding fuel to the fire…"

"No, no, no… that's two different things." Xiao Tan interrupted, "If you hadn't said some unnecessary things during the battle, it might be like that, but now… the fuel for your fire is not oil, but something like biogas…"

"Oh, so I'm regarded as a 'bad guy' by everyone, right?" Feng Bujue continued.

"It's more appropriate to say 'Great Demon King'…" Xiao Tan said.

"Hehe… many demon kings these days are male gods and older sisters." Feng Bujue laughed.

"Um… but you must be the most traditional kind, like Baal (one of the three Diablo demon heads, the evil God of Destruction, cruel, cold, powerful, not handsome, not moe)…" Xiao Tan replied.

"Oh, is that so…" Feng Bujue still said in a very calm tone, "Heh… it doesn't matter, I roughly guessed this result before the game, so in the game, I simply played the role of the villain to the end, wantonly and recklessly."

"If you had kept silent from the first second of the match…" Xiao Tan continued.

"Ha! What's the point of that?" Feng Bujue interrupted him.

"Yeah…" Xiao Tan also smiled, "For you, that would be worse than losing…"

…………

While Jue-Ge was chatting with Xiao Tan, the official website of Dream Inc. had quietly announced the rules for the [Peak Tournament] finals…

The final time is set for one o'clock in the morning on May 30th.

Fifty players who emerged from the [Butterfly War] will be teleported to the same script at the same time.

The script is naturally a special script for the Peak Tournament. So far, the maximum number of players that any script in the game can accommodate at the same time is six. This is the first time that fifty players have been placed in the same script at once.

And the mode of confrontation for this final is actually…
