Online Game: Crazy Skeleton-Chapter 1259 - 1170: News from the Celestial Realm

"..."

Su Ran felt his cheeks blush a little. To be wildly rumored to such an extent was just too exaggerated. It was just killing a foreigner, for goodness’ sake.

Packed with the force of three men’s gossips, Su Ran had now seen the awe-inspiring power of word of mouth.

However.

Once the competition officially started, Su Ran didn’t do anything he wasn’t sure about and directly summoned his Skeleton Army, ready for a big fight. But as his signature pets appeared, the opposing warrior player was dumbstruck.

"Bro, you go ahead and keep busy, don’t waste your time on me, go ahead."

This warrior looked at Su Ran with an embarrassed expression. With the appearance of the Undead Skeletons, if he didn’t understand now, he really needed to get his head checked. In his wildest dreams, he never thought that ’Spilt Water Can’t Be Regained’ would only be enough to get by in the Earthly Fiend Group—it was simply unbelievable!

As for fighting ’Spilt Water Can’t Be Regained’, he didn’t have the guts. He knew his own limits well. Without waiting for Su Ran’s skeletal pets to begin their assault, he chose to forfeit very single-handedly and was ejected from the arena by the system.

"If we keep this up, the competition will lose its purpose."

Looking in the direction where the warrior disappeared, Su Ran sighed and said, "I hope the opponents to come won’t do the same. It would be great to have a real fight, with real swords and spears!"

At the same time, a sentence popped up on the World Channel, immediately causing a stir. There were expressions of surprise, of schadenfreude, all conveyed through text vividly, making the World Channel as lively as a marketplace.

"Brothers in the Earthly Fiend Group, take note. ’Overturning Water’ the great god has been allocated to our group by the system. I’m the first one to strike it unlucky; you all better prepare mentally!"

"Greetings from the Newcomer Group!"

"Greetings from the elite group!"

"What? ’Spilt Water Can’t Be Regained’ moved to the Earthly Fiend Group? Isn’t this bullying? With his strength, he should be in the Heavenly Gang Group at the very least!"

"To the one above, why didn’t I see you stand out when he was in our Newcomer Group? You only come out to complain when it affects your own interests. Is that interesting?"

"Nobody wants to fight ’Spilt Water Can’t Be Regained’. We’re simply not on the same level. Isn’t that masochism? Not only do you lose a level when you die, but you might also lose your own equipment. Who can bear this? If I meet him, I’ll just forfeit directly. Not afraid of you guys laughing, this way the loss could be less..."

"The one above is right, thumbs up for you first!"

"Brothers and sisters, who wants to join me in filing a complaint? A godlike player like ’Spilt Water Can’t Be Regained’ shouldn’t be divided by level. If he’s going to wreak havoc, let him do it in the Heavenly Gang Group. What a joke having him in the Earthly Fiend Group!"

"Seconded!"

"If you’re filing a complaint, count me in. With him here, the Earthly Fiend Group might as well not compete and just hand over the group championship to him!"

Because of Su Ran, the players once again kicked up a fuss, and continuous complaints entered the Celestial Realm’s corporation’s headquarters, probably giving the corporate executives a headache with such an unconventional presence.

To Su Ran’s surprise, in several consecutive battles, these players didn’t even have the courage to fight him. They all readily forfeited, and some even wanted to take a photo with him as a souvenir, which left him somewhat bemused.

As the saying goes, "A man’s reputation is like a tree’s shadow." Su Ran had now experienced the influence here firsthand, consequently making it difficult to find a worthy opponent in the Earthly Fiend Group.

Unbeknownst to himself, the martial arts tournament had been ongoing for a day, and Su Ran had gained eight resurrection opportunities in total, defeating more than eighty people consecutively. After the first two encounters, the rest were won without a fight, presenting no challenge at all. He couldn’t experience the joy of the competition; had it not been for the champion’s reward, Su Ran would have given up long ago.

From 6 p.m. to 8 a.m. the next day, it wasn’t the event’s active time, so players finally had a break. After a day of intense scuffling, to say they weren’t exhausted would be a lie; of course, that excludes outliers like Su Ran, for whom picking on the weak was hardly something to be proud of.

...

At this moment, Su Ran still didn’t know he had been ostracized, with nowhere to turn, especially by the Earthly Fiend Group, who detested him deeply. Almost everyone had lodged a complaint against him, a "special treatment" no one had enjoyed since the server opened!

"Overturning Water, you really did it this time," a friend teased. "No matter where you are, you become the center of attention, a real superstar!"

The Smoker sent a message, his tone dripping with envy, "If I had your swagger, wouldn’t Xiaotong love me to death?"

"Cut the crap!"

Su Ran retorted irritably. Already stifling a bellyful of anger, the Smoker’s message provided a vent, "I might’ve been blocked by the system. In the last half-hour, I didn’t encounter a single opponent, leaving me to stupidly stand in the arena for half an hour!"

"Haha, you don’t know yet? You’ve been complained about countless times now. I tried lodging a complaint just now and the system didn’t even react, probably too fed up to deal with any more. Your ability to create such a buzz shows just how significant you’ve become in the hearts of players!"

The Smoker’s reply came swiftly, almost without pause, and he nearly skipped the punctuation, "But it’s a double-edged sword. It’s not evident usually, but when you affect their interests, like in this martial arts tournament, the drawbacks emerge."

"What? Even you complained about me? You’re really looking for trouble!"

Su Ran was annoyed. It was one thing for others to complain, but he hadn’t expected a stab in the back from his own friend, something he couldn’t accept!

"Nonsense, those guys from Earthly Fiend Group want you moved to the Heavenly Gang Group. What if they succeeded? Not complying with the game’s rules calls for a complaint! Besides, if a tiger like you comes to our Heavenly Gang Group, how would the rest of us get along?"

"Damn!"

Su Ran thought for a long time and could only come up with that response. He now realized he had become the kind of person loved by neither uncle nor grandmother. All he could do now was await the system’s judgment, but regardless, the system wouldn’t easily expel him from the arena unless his identity as a member of the Human Race was exposed, which was nearly impossible.

"Alright, Overturning Water brother, I didn’t manage to lodge a complaint, did I? You can’t blame me if you take this weirdly. Also, I need you to help me with something tonight, come with me to the Divine Wood Forest to kill a story BOSS."

"Buzz off, we aren’t brothers. I’m not going, I don’t have the time!"

Su Ran immediately refused, not giving an inch of face.

"Come on, Overturning Water brother, is this minor issue really worth getting mad over? Quit joking and get over here, we’re just waiting on you!"

"I’ve never even been to the Divine Wood Forest; how could I help you?"

Just from the ’Divine’ character associated with the forest, Su Ran sensed it was no ordinary place, and he speculated that the Smoker must have gotten a pretty good story quest, which was why he was eager to complete it even during the tournament.

"What? You’ve never been there? You’ve been to the Divine Domain, right? It’s just north of the Divine Domain Main City, not hard to find."

"Where’s the Divine Domain Main City? I haven’t been there either!"

Su Ran’s interest was piqued. He needed to go to the Celestial Realm to find blood, a heart, and the Sun Soul Stone. A trip to the Divine Domain Main City might just turn up something!
