Chapter 19 He's Really Strong

Gu Fei made no attempt to conceal his kung fu.

His movements were sharp, his offense and defense were well-organized, and every move was executed with grace and precision. Although no one in the Yun Mu guild understood kung fu, they could all see that this man had been trained.

Someone who had been trained would definitely have a great advantage when fighting ordinary people. But there was no way he could defeat dozens, or even hundreds of people, even if he only faced four or five at a time. Because in reality, there was the issue of stamina. Ordinary people couldn't withstand such a war of attrition. When their stamina was exhausted and their strength failed, no goddess would suddenly appear in their hearts and give them infinite cosmic power. At that point, opponents could poke you to death with their fingers, and no matter how good your skills were, they would be useless.

But the environment Gu Fei was in was not reality, but a game.

Although games strive for realism, one aspect is very illusory: fatigue.

Whether it was the continuity and excitement that players wanted from the game, or the maximization of profits that game companies needed, fatigue was a very disharmonious attribute.

Disharmonious things are, of course, harmonized.

At this time, Gu Fei showed no signs of fatigue at all, only the thrill of battle.

Frankly speaking, this battle, with skills disabled, was neither intense nor exciting, and there was nothing flashy about it. The firelight from Gu Fei's Baptism of Fire was the only colorful firework.

The people from the Yun Mu guild were currently in an awkward situation. Because Gu Fei made full use of the terrain, the number of people who could rush up to attack at one time was limited to four. Even with four, they were limited to using thrusting or slashing attacks. Swinging their arms horizontally would require the other three to squeeze together and make room for you, which was too much trouble.

Gu Fei had been loudly advocating "retreat when your health is low," and many people had accepted it in their hearts. But the first person to take the plunge never appeared, and everyone was forced to tough it out for the sake of face.

Since the others wouldn't retreat, Gu Fei couldn't do anything about it. Besides, he wasn't a soft-hearted person in the first place. If this had been when Gu Fei had just started playing the game, he wouldn't have given such kind advice at all. It was only after playing the game for a long time that he had some understanding of the difficulty of leveling up, understood the value system of ordinary players, and put himself in their shoes.

Before long, three more people had fallen under Gu Fei's blade. Except for the newly substituted one, the remaining three were all low on health, looking left and right, hoping that a brother beside them could put down their pride and take a step back, and they would be sure to respond immediately.

Unfortunately, it still didn't happen.

The three of them were equally miserable in their hearts, and were just gritting their teeth when they suddenly heard someone behind them shout, "Retreat when your health is low."

Everyone could hear that this was the voice of their guild leader, Yun Zhong Mu Di. They were greatly relieved.

Yun Zhong Mu Di stood up at this time, and his words were no longer an order, but gave everyone a way out, and a wide enough way out at that. There was no psychological burden at all in retreating after hearing Yun Zhong Mu Di's words. The three people in the battle immediately retreated.

The replacements quickly stepped in, and the battle continued. With Yun Zhong Mu Di's order, no one resisted to the death anymore. Before long, two more people retreated, and then the replacements stepped in again.

Repeatedly, a special formation gradually appeared in the ranks of the Yun Mu guild, and all the members here were low on health. Yun Zhong Mu Di looked at this group of people and only felt a headache. Without using skills, even if Yun Zhong Mu Di personally took action, he wouldn't necessarily be much stronger than the others. But seeing the brothers who went into battle retreat one by one, it would eventually be his turn to go into battle, and he would be in the same situation as everyone else. Where would the guild leader's face be?

Just as he was feeling annoyed, a member sneaked up to Yun Zhong Mu Di and said to him, "Guild leader, we can't continue like this."

"Oh?"

"This person's skills are too good. Not using skills is simply a trap he set. If we continue to fight like this, as long as he doesn't make any mistakes himself, no one can do anything to him."

"I know..." Yun Zhong Mu Di naturally understood this, he was just hoping that Gu Fei would make a mistake!

"Guild leader, in fact, we don't have to fight him head-on like this. His attacks can't kill people instantly. Have the brothers tank his attacks and swarm him. He has a wall behind him, so there's no way to retreat. He definitely won't be able to dodge in that little space. Four brothers are enough to knock him to the ground."

"This..." In fact, Yun Zhong Mu Di had thought of this method long ago, but he just felt that this method was a bit rogue, and he was still hesitant for a while.

Sure enough, as soon as this person proposed this method, someone immediately objected: "Isn't this a bit shameless?"

"Then what else can we do?"

"In short, this method is not good."

"Then let the guild leader decide!" The ball was finally passed to Yun Zhong Mu Di.

Yun Zhong Mu Di hesitated, and that person urged him again: "Let's do it this way, guild leader, this person is too strong."

"Too strong..." Yun Zhong Mu Di heard these three words and suddenly reacted, waved his hand and said, "Stop."

The four people who were besieging Gu Fei couldn't attack him no matter how they tried. Either he dodged them or he used his sword to deflect them. They were feeling depressed when they heard Yun Zhong Mu Di call to stop. They were greatly relieved and happily stopped.

"There's no need to fight anymore." Yun Zhong Mu Di said, "You're very strong!" A compliment that his subordinate had unintentionally given to Gu Fei finally reminded Yun Zhong Mu Di why they had started fighting Gu Fei in the first place.

It was to test Gu Fei's strength and see if he was the masked black-clad powerful mage.

At this time, although Gu Fei's skills didn't seem to have anything to do with the high magic damage of that masked black-clad mage, he was still a very powerful expert. This could be definitively concluded.

Since this was the case, there was naturally no need to continue fighting. Regardless of whether he was that masked black-clad man or not, Yun Zhong Mu Di had only one thought in his mind at this time: to win him over.

"Ahem..." Yun Zhong Mu Di cleared his throat and stepped forward, first praising Gu Fei, "Brother's skills are really good, have you been trained?"

"I only know a little." This was the humble answer that a martial artist should give.

Yun Zhong Mu Di didn't care about this, but just asked, "Which guild is brother in now?"

"Rebirth of the Purple Crystal!" Gu Fei replied.

"You're really that person?" Yun Zhong Mu Di asked.

"That's right!" Gu Fei responded. Yun Mu's advertisements were all over the city. Gu Fei casually picked up one, poked it and said, "I'm this person."

Yun Zhong Mu Di took a deep breath, and was just about to launch a major offensive to win him over when he suddenly heard someone shouting, "What are you doing? What are you doing! Why are there so many people here?"

A person squeezed into the Yun Mu guild circle, poking his head and looking inside. He saw Gu Fei, who was alone in the core of the circle, and was immediately overjoyed: "Ah, it's you, I was just looking for you!"

Gu Fei took a look, and it was none other than the obscene Tian Xia Wu Shuang, Ying Zuka Yue Zai.

Yun Zhong Mu Di also recognized Ying Zuka Yue Zai. They didn't have too deep a friendship, but at least they would stop and exchange greetings when they met on the road. They could be considered a pair of friends in their early stages.

Yun Zhong Mu Di knew that Ying Zuka Yue Zai was also a top-ranked expert on the level leaderboard, and also ran a small guild. At this time, hearing him say that he was looking for Gu Fei, he immediately felt a sense of crisis.

Is this guy also having the same idea? Yun Zhong Mu Di thought, and quickly took a few steps forward, walking in front of Ying Zuka Yue Zai: "Yue Zai, it's been a long time!"

"Oh, Lao Mu! What are you doing here?" As he said this, he looked around and asked, "Are all these people from your guild? What's going on?"

Before Yun Zhong Mu Di could answer, Ying Zuka Yue Zai looked at the circle of people surrounding Gu Fei against the wall, and had already realized what was going on. He immediately patted Yun Zhong Mu Di and said, "Lao Mu! I know this person, give me some face, don't make things difficult for him."

Suddenly seeing Ying Zuka Yue Zai speak so seriously, Gu Fei was a little unaccustomed to it. And he was even pleading for him, really treating him like one of their own.

"Not at all!" Yun Zhong Mu Di's eyes were bright and energetic: "There was a little misunderstanding earlier, in fact, we wanted to sincerely invite Brother Qian Li to join our guild."

"Join your guild?" Ying Zuka Yue Zai seemed to have heard the most ridiculous joke in the world, with an exaggeratedly surprised expression. He walked a few steps to Gu Fei and put his arm around Gu Fei's shoulder and said, "Brother Qian Li is one of us, he won't be interested in your crappy guild."

Yun Zhong Mu Di was immediately stunned when he heard this. He understood what Ying Zuka Yue Zai meant by "one of us." Back when he had first met Ying Zuka Yue Zai, Yun Zhong Mu Di had also invited him to join the Yun Mu guild with all his might, just like he was facing Gu Fei today. But Ying Zuka Yue Zai had readily refused, and explained his hobbies to Yun Zhong Mu Di, as well as his determination to strive for them. Not long after, Yun Zhong Mu Di heard that this guy had formed a very perverse guild, collected a group of players who shared his interests, and from then on, Yun Zhong Mu Di no longer bothered him.

At this time, suddenly hearing Ying Zuka Yue Zai say that Gu Fei was also one of them, he seemed to have vaguely thought of something.

And Ying Zuka Yue Zai was continuing to introduce: "Moreover, Brother Qian Li is a leader among us, infiltrating the Rebirth of the Purple Crystal, this beauty guild, all alone. This integrity, this method, really makes us envious and admire him!"

"That's right!" Yun Zhong Mu Di suddenly woke up. This guy was alone in a weak guild full of girls, obviously of the same ilk as Ying Zuka Yue Zai! Why hadn't he thought of it earlier?

Yun Zhong Mu Di understood this point and suddenly looked disappointed. Looking at Gu Fei's expression also changed from appreciation to disappointment. After deeply despising the two of them, he waved his hand at the Yun Mu crowd: "Let's go!"

"Hey! Wait, you've misunderstood!"

"Misunderstood what! Stop talking nonsense, I have something urgent to talk to you about!" Ying Zuka Yue Zai pulled Gu Fei.
