Bragging Balance?

Brother Cheng had no idea what this thing was.

But he felt an instinctive intuition that this would definitely be the most fitting resurrection plan for his style so far!

The system's finally on track, it actually knows how to please me now.

This brother contently opened the interface in front of him.

Everything froze at that moment, like the sign before the Origin takes action.

All the people battling ahead were completely motionless at this moment.

A small balance appeared before Jiang Cheng.

At each end of the balance were two huge trays.

He was already standing on one of the trays.

As for the tray on the other side, it was completely empty.

"Please choose your competition target!"

There was a system prompt ahead, along with the explanation of the competition rules.

However, Jiang Cheng didn't bother to look at any of it.

He didn't need to look.

Clearly, it was his first time encountering such a Divine Object as the 'Bragging Balance', but he acted as if he'd used it countless times.

Directly drawing a circle, he selected all the enemies in front of him.

"Warning! Too many targets selected by the host, significant disparity in bragging value!"

"Warning! Too many targets selected by the host..."

"Warning..."

The system issued three consecutive warnings.

"Are you done yet?"

"Since when do I need you to teach me how to brag?"

Brother Cheng directly ignored the system's 'friendly reminders'.

He acted very proficiently, directly putting all the enemies into the opposing tray.

As soon as this was done, the balance immediately tilted.

There were nearly a hundred people on the opposite side, while he was all by himself.

Although the balance was about bragging value, not physical weight, the initial bragging value of so many people was still much higher than his alone.

Thus, he got lifted to the top along with his tray.

He was just a hair's breadth away from the red boundary line above.

Jiang Cheng didn't look at the rules, but he knew that once he touched the red line above, it would be over.

That was the reason for the system's constant warnings just now.

Despite being the King Bi, adding too many people at once was still dangerously risky.

However, he showed no concern, calmly pressed the start button.

And the previously still world regained its activity.

The opponents awoke from their daze, and immediately resumed wielding Ice Power against those around them, starting to fight!

Just a moment ago, they were caught in battle.

Yet this time, they inexplicably discovered that none of their powers could be used.

Forget about magic attacks.

Even physical attacks with an ice sword in hand, striking someone, caused no damage.

"What's going on?"

"Why have my powers vanished?"

"No, my realm is still intact!"

"What's happening?"

"Where is this place, why can't we get out?"

A crowd was yelling and shouting.

Across the way, Brother Cheng sneered at this scene.

"A bunch of ignorant fools."

"Not even aware the competition's started, adorably dumb indeed."

With his words, the balance creaked.

The tray he was on descended a bit, finally gaining some distance from the top red line.

While his opponents' tray ascended a bit.

Although his height was still higher and more dangerous, it didn't seem as exaggerated as before. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

This is the method of the Bragging Balance competition.

Earlier was actually just the first round.

In this round, the opponents were panicked and bewildered, while Jiang Cheng remained calm and taunting.

This contrast makes the difference clear.

The Bragging Balance naturally deemed him the bragging winner of this round.

Accordingly, his weight on the balance increased, while the opponents' weight decreased.

This competition cannot be halted, both sides can engage in countless rounds, a tug-of-war until one side hits the red line and has their life erased to end it.

And at this point, the opponents finally noticed Lord Jiang in the tray.

Utterly shocked.

"Jiang Cheng, weren't you dead?"

"How could you still be alive?"

"What is this?"

"Kill him, kill him!"

Someone else made a reckless move towards him.

But on the Bragging Balance, they couldn't leave their tray, and their attempts to attack were completely ineffective, mere wasted effort.

In response to their furious shouting, Brother Cheng just laughed lightly.

Then he delivered a line he knew all too well.

"You just had your spirits shattered, if I don't play dead once, where would you even find confidence?"

"Helping our opponents maintain a healthy mental state, avoiding psychological chaos and bladder loss, that's really the humanitarian glory we should pursue!"

Though they couldn't understand some of the terms, they got the general drift.

Such inexplicable chatter naturally fueled the opponents' anger even more.

They cursed vehemently again, with all sorts of profanities.

Brother Cheng sniffed once in response.

"Alas, it seems my realm and vision, you guys can never fathom..."

The balance creaked again, confirming his victorious bragging in the second round.

There's no choice, one side engages in meaningless cursing while the other engages in organized, purposeful, proper bragging.

It's like scattered troops encountering fully armed elite special forces, the difference is too great.

Jiang Cheng's tray weight increased again, while the opponents' side rose further.

At this stage, the two trays became roughly level.

The opponents still didn't know what was happening.

Seeing their tray rising, they merely shouted loud again, while hurled abuse towards Jiang Cheng.

And Lord Jiang responded with affectionate applause full of enthusiasm.

"Your persistence in this folly, knowing it's ineffective, is commendable!"

"Keep going, keep going..."

Thus, in the third round, the system once more ruled him the bragging winner.

No question, bragging and cursing are worlds apart.

This time, his opponents' tray was lifted up, higher than his one by a notch.

By now, some opponents finally sensed something was off.

Even though none of them died, no one was hurt, but the situation looked sketchy!

"Stop!"

"Everyone stop now."

"What's going on, why is our tray continuously rising?"

"Could rising result in some terrible consequence?"

"It must be, this must be some special treasure, defying Rule Origin with special treasures!"

Wei Chang further sneered with cold taunts: "Jiang Cheng, what machinations are you playing?"

"Do you think with mere petty tricks you can kill us?"

"That's preposterous!"

He hoped to provoke Sect Leader Jiang into confrontation, blade against blade, sword against sword.

Others witnessing this, followed with loud taunting.

Brother Cheng observed, oh ho, this group unwittingly stumbled, getting a tad closer to the subject of this bragging competition.

Only too raw in the end.

Faced with their provocations and taunts, this brother turned slowly around, giving his back to the enemies.
