Liu Hao’s keyboard was truly broken. The force of that smash was too great, and it had already snapped the supporting legs that propped the keyboard up at an angle. Liu Hao didn't care about all that, and after placing the keyboard flat, he gritted his teeth and typed a string of words: "I'm asking you, is it a ranked arena or a free arena!"

"Oh! That! Why didn't you say so, a free arena." Steamed Bun Invasion said.

"Room number?" Liu Hao entered the free arena and was about to howl.

"You make one, I'll come find you in a bit." Steamed Bun Invasion was currently in a heated battle with someone.

So Liu Hao built a one-on-one room, set a password, and sent the room number and password to Steamed Bun Invasion. After a moment, Steamed Bun Invasion finally appeared in the room Liu Hao had created.

"Get ready, get ready, get ready!!" Liu Hao urged wildly.

Steamed Bun Invasion had just clicked ready when he was already in battle the next second.

Liu Hao chose the smallest map, a square arena without any obstructions. After the two characters were teleported into the map, they each occupied a corner of the arena.

After the three-two-one countdown ended, Liu Hao didn't say a word, frantically hammering the keyboard and mouse as Hateful Sword raised the heavy sword on his shoulder and charged forward.

The map was small, and the distance between the two sides wasn't far. In a few steps, he was almost in front of him. Steamed Bun Invasion was applying poison to his weapon, but how could Liu Hao wait for him to finish? With a swift operation, Hateful Sword soared into the air, and a Collapsing Mountain Strike with the furthest distance, the greatest damage, and the greatest impact slammed down.

Using Collapsing Mountain Strike like this actually had a big flaw. Generally, experts wouldn't stretch the Collapsing Mountain Strike to the limit when using it, but Liu Hao was really depressed for a long time, and if he didn't erupt like this, he was afraid he would vomit blood.

Originally, he thought Steamed Bun Invasion would move to dodge, and Liu Hao had already planned his follow-up moves in his mind. Who knew that the other party was standing there stupidly. Seeing that the heavy sword was about to chop down, Steamed Bun Invasion suddenly jumped backward.

The timing of this jump was excellent, almost dodging the tip of the heavy sword by a nose. As soon as he landed, Steamed Bun Invasion immediately jumped forward again, looking like he was sending himself back under the sword.

But as soon as Liu Hao saw it, he knew something was wrong. Steamed Bun Invasion jumped back to dodge the slash, but jumped forward to leap over the shockwave after the Collapsing Mountain Strike hit the ground. Moreover, this jump could launch an attack on Hateful Sword, but Liu Hao was too slow to recover from this fully stretched Collapsing Mountain Strike and couldn't dodge Steamed Bun Invasion's attack.

Sure enough, the heavy sword fell to the ground, and before he could retract it, Steamed Bun Invasion’s hand accurately grabbed Hateful Sword's throat, using the skill "Throat-Locking" that had shone brightly in the dungeon that night. Then, with the other hand, a brick was smashed on Hateful Sword's head.

Liu Hao was extremely annoyed and used the keyboard and mouse as if they were about to break. After the Collapsing Mountain Strike finished, he followed up with a "Reverse Slash".

"Reverse Slash" was the most basic skill of the Berserker, similar to the Battle Mage's Sky Strike and the Swordsman's Upward Pick, but although the effects were similar, the Berserker's "Reverse Slash" was the one with the most damage and the strongest floating effect among all similar skills.

Liu Hao's operation was accurate and ruthless, and Steamed Bun Invasion actually failed to block it and was hit by the upward sweeping heavy sword, floating into the air. If this "Reverse Slash" had been fully executed, Steamed Bun Invasion could have become a kite, but Liu Hao only let Hateful Sword use half of it before stopping. Then, he jumped back, raised his sword with both hands in front of his chest, and a "Charging Stab" pounced forward, stabbing right into Steamed Bun Invasion's abdomen in mid-air. Hateful Sword charged forward, and Steamed Bun Invasion was pushed into a V-shape, plowing through the air before crashing into the ropes at the edge of the arena.

Liu Hao was just about to let Hateful Sword continue his attack when he saw Steamed Bun Invasion, whose body had been bent into a shrimp shape, suddenly raise his hand and throw a handful of fine sand directly at Hateful Sword's face. Liu Hao was shocked. He didn't expect this lousy Steamed Bun to be able to accurately use Sand Toss to counterattack in this situation. He quickly made Hateful Sword roll to the side, and although he was still hit by some sand, he at least avoided being blinded.

Getting up from the ground, Steamed Bun Invasion had already rushed behind Hateful Sword, grabbed Hateful Sword's shoulders with both hands, and gave him a knee strike. At the same time as he kneed Hateful Sword in the waist, he released his hands, and Hateful Sword immediately staggered forward involuntarily. This was the forced effect of Knee Strike when hitting the back.

Steamed Bun Invasion pressed his advantage, grabbed a brick, and chased after him, ready to smash it on the back of Hateful Sword's head. Unexpectedly, Hateful Sword suddenly jumped forward, but twisted his body in mid-air, and the sword light slashed down on his face. It was actually a Collapsing Mountain Strike.

Steamed Bun Invasion hadn't expected this at all. He had been spending a lot of time in the arena these past few days and had sparred with players of all classes. He had seen all these low-level skills, which was why he had been able to jump backward and then forward at the beginning to completely dodge the Collapsing Mountain Strike. But Liu Hao's move, Collapsing Mountain Strike, was actually slashed out during the backward jump. Steamed Bun Invasion had never seen this before. It was only because the operation of this Reverse Collapsing Mountain Strike was very complicated, and few ordinary people could use it, so Steamed Bun Invasion had no chance to see it. Now that he had encountered a professional-level player like Liu Hao, although Berserker was not his main class, it was not a problem for him to use such an operation.

However, because it was a backward jump, the Reverse Collapsing Mountain Strike was basically not fully executed. This operation was not for offense, but to prevent the opponent from chasing. Steamed Bun Invasion didn't know about this move, so he was hit.

After a few more rounds of back-and-forth fighting, Liu Hao gradually calmed down.

He was originally a deep and scheming guy. Before, he was only in a state of excitement because he had successfully stepped on the record set by Ye Xiu. After being stimulated by a few words from Steamed Bun Invasion, this noob, he wanted to beat Steamed Bun Invasion flat. Now that he had calmed down, he knew that he must not continue fighting like this.

Steamed Bun Invasion's skills were indeed not weak, and he was a rare expert among ordinary players. Even so, he was still not difficult for Liu Hao to handle. If he continued to fight in this way, his Hateful Sword could steadily win.

But after calming down and thinking about it, Liu Hao felt that he couldn't win. This Steamed Bun Invasion was already very strong. Those who could beat him were not professional-level, but they were not far off. Liu Hao was afraid that his strength would be exposed too obviously, arousing Ye Qiu's suspicion.

If he was only narrowly defeated by this Steamed Bun Invasion, then he could both prove that his strength was good and not arouse Ye Qiu's suspicion because he was too strong.

With this in mind, Liu Hao immediately made up his mind, started to slack off, and sold loopholes. Steamed Bun Invasion was indeed a good player, and when he saw a loophole, he immediately took advantage of it. However, Liu Hao didn't want to be defeated too easily, so he tried to entangle him. In this way, the two seemed to be fighting inextricably, but Liu Hao knew that his Hateful Sword was slowly heading towards defeat, and the situation was under his control.

In the end, Hateful Sword was indeed defeated by Steamed Bun Invasion in this round. Liu Hao in front of the screen had a sinister smile on his face and challenged Steamed Bun Invasion again, pretending to be unconvinced. Steamed Bun Invasion also readily accepted the challenge, and the two started another round. Liu Hao continued his performance, slowly heading towards defeat in a balanced match.

In this way, they played a total of five rounds, and Hateful Sword was narrowly defeated by Steamed Bun Invasion in all of them. Steamed Bun Invasion looked mighty, but the situation was completely under Liu Hao's control.

After five rounds, Liu Hao had Hateful Sword leave the room and sent a message to Steamed Bun Invasion saying "Rest for a while". Then, he sent a message to Ye Xiu: "Great God, that Steamed Bun is quite powerful, I can't beat him."

"Hehe, I heard him say, he said you're no match at all!" Ye Xiu replied.

Liu Hao was furious. How could this lousy Steamed Bun not be honest at all! Although he had lost five times in a row, how could he be described as "no match at all"? He had only barely won five times, and all of them were the result of his hard work. He originally wanted to use Steamed Bun's mouth to convey the message to Ye Qiu, which would be easier for Ye Qiu to believe. Who knew that this guy was shameless and directly ignored the important details of his narrow victory. If he had known this, he would have created a narrow victory and gone to Ye Qiu himself.

"Well, I think my level is about the same as his. He was just luckier today." Liu Hao had no choice but to reply with an explanation while still angry.

"Hehe, he's still waiting for you in the arena, you guys keep playing!" Ye Xiu replied.

Liu Hao wanted to cry but had no tears. He was just putting on a show with that Steamed Bun, who would have thought that he would really keep playing with this lousy Steamed Bun? So he quickly replied: "I'm not very good at PK, but my dungeon-clearing skills are really good. When will the Great God take me to break records!"

"There are no records to break now!" Ye Xiu replied.

"Really? But I saw that the Frost Forest dungeon record you broke in the early hours of the morning was broken again. Aren't you going to break it again?" Liu Hao inquired.

"That, we'll see!" Ye Xiu replied.

Hehehe, you can't break it again, right! Liu Hao secretly rejoiced again and continued to pretend to reply: "Then what are you doing now, Great God? Take me with you!"

"I'm leveling in Graveyard of the Dead. If you want to level, come over too!"

"Okay." Liu Hao replied with a message and let out a long breath. He had finally successfully sneaked to this guy's side. Now he wanted to see what this guy was up to in the new server.

After Liu Hao asked for the coordinates, he immediately had Hateful Sword head towards the Graveyard of the Dead. When he arrived at the location, he saw a male and a female character, each holding a spear and farming monsters. The female character had magical fluctuations flashing under her feet, obviously the Glory mage status possessed by a genuine Battle Mage. Although the male character was also using Battle Mage skills, he didn't have magic fluctuations, and was using a multi-classed character to impersonate a Battle Mage, it was Lord Grim.

"Hey hey!" Taking advantage of the distance, Liu Hao tested his voice and found a tone that didn't sound like his own. He tried to say a few sentences, and with the distortion that voice would have to some extent, Liu Hao felt that Ye Xiu definitely couldn't recognize him. Only then did he calmly let Hateful Sword walk over.

"Great God." Liu Hao stepped forward and greeted him, feeling slightly nervous in his heart.

"You're here!" The other side replied casually, and an invitation to join the team was sent over.

Liu Hao confirmed and joined the team, smiling sinisterly without showing any signs.
