204: Chapter 204 Are you teaching me how to do things?

The blood-colored tornado slowly dissipated.

Kuito's demon-god-like figure stood like a statue in the center of the empty arena.

No enemies remained standing.

The remaining ten teams waiting outside the arena, over two hundred and fifty players, couldn't make a single sound at this moment.

What just happened?

A textbook siege by a twenty-five-man elite group.

A... one-sided slaughter.

One person slaughtered twenty-five.

From beginning to end, that man named Chen You hadn't even moved more than three steps.

He just stood there and, in a way they couldn't understand, "spent money" until the Titan Temple's elite group was dead.

In the end, he even summoned a War God Kuito who was cooler than the rank one player, performing a full-screen wipeout.

This wasn't a battle anymore.

This was a dimensional reduction strike.

"Gulp."

Someone, it was unclear who, swallowed hard, the sound exceptionally clear in the silence.

"He... what kind of existence is he?"

"No... why is he so rich?!"

"I don't get it, I completely don't get it!"

In the spectator stands, the Titan Temple players looked as pale as death.

The elite team they were so proud of was as fragile as stray cats and dogs before him.

Shame, an unprecedented shame!

In the guild channel, the Titan Temple's guild leader Salos, the man ranked first on the leaderboards, didn't say a word.

From the moment Kuito appeared, he knew it was over.

On the other side, at Moon Gods Radiance, Arrow of the Moon finished watching Lone Wolf Under the Moon's real-time commentary.

A hint of helplessness appeared on her beautiful face.

And in the Roman God Clan's guild channel, Ao Bi made a final summary.

[Ao Bi]: As expected of the Doghead Strategist, your suggestion was indeed visionary.

The implication was that if they had stepped onto the field, the outcome wouldn't necessarily have been better than the Titan God Clan's.

[Oro]: How many people would it take to defeat him?

[Ao Doghead]: If he's at the same level, I'm afraid no matter how many there are, it wouldn't be enough for him to kill...

[Oro]: And if the levels are different?

[Ao Doghead]: To be conservative, if he's level 50, he probably wouldn't be able to hold out.

Seeing this, the members of the Roman God Clan all felt a sense of relief.

The level advantage is still there, so that's good!

Just then, in the center of the arena, the flag bearer npc, who had remained neutral throughout, slowly raised his head.

He seemed to have fallen into a moment of... daze because of the situation before him.

Soon, his solemn and grand voice echoed throughout the venue.

"This trial has ended."

"The winner—Chen You's team."

As soon as he finished speaking, before everyone could recover from the shock, a blood-red light soared into the sky, instantly dyeing the entire sky of the Source Realm red!

The familiar system announcement arrived once again.

[World Announcement: Congratulations to player 'Chen You' for being the first to clear the Mythic dungeon [The Path of the Monarch - Kings Arena], achieving the unique achievement [Unparalleled Martial Arts]!]

If the battle just now had only shocked the two hundred-plus people present,

Then this world announcement set all the players in the Source Realm on fire once again!

"??? Again? It's him again?! Does he live in the world announcements?"

"Wait, Kings Arena? A PVP stage? He cleared a PVP stage by himself? Is there a bug in the system?"

"I just heard that he single-handedly wiped out the Titan Temple's twenty-five-man elite team! I thought it was fake news!"

"Stay calm, everyone sit down, it's just standard operation."

...

Inside the dungeon, new system prompts popped up before Chen You's eyes.

[Ding! Congratulations on successfully clearing the [Kings Arena], you have obtained a [Legendary Treasure Chest] and +50,000 EXP!]

[Ding! Congratulations on obtaining the First Clear achievement for [Kings Arena], you have received the unique title [Arena Overlord]!]

[Arena Overlord]

[Unique Title]

[Effect: In PVP scenarios, the damage you deal to other players is increased by 5%, and the damage you receive is reduced by 5%.]

"Hmm, not bad, although I don't seem to need it right now."

Chen You curled his lip; at least it was better than the previous one that didn't add anything!

His gaze fell on the treasure chest, and he chose to open it without hesitation.

A golden light flashed.

[Prompt: You have obtained [Monarch · Glory Greaves] (Legendary · Plate Armor · Legs)!]

Chen You: "..."

Another piece of equipment he couldn't use.

He sighed, feeling like his destiny was incompatible with the Monarch Set.

While he was grumbling, a soft golden teleportation light pillar lit up beneath his feet, completely enveloping him.

"I'm off, next stage."

Chen You waved his hand casually toward the spectator stands.

Under the watch of over two hundred gazes mixed with awe, fear, and worship, his figure turned into a stream of light, soared into the sky, and disappeared from the arena.

Leaving behind only the empty battlefield and a group of top guild elites questioning their lives.

...

After the white light, Chen You found himself in a strange space.

There was no sky and no ground here.

Beneath his feet was a circular platform about a hundred meters in diameter, paved with some unknown black crystal, smooth as a mirror.

Beyond the platform was an endless, deep void, dotted with billions of stars, as if he were in the center of the universe.

In the very center of the platform stood an ancient bronze mirror quietly.

The mirror was about three meters high, with complex and abstract patterns carved on the frame.

The entire space was silent, with only starlight slowly flowing.

Oppressive.

A sense of oppression originating from the depths of his soul made Chen You subconsciously tighten his grip on the jade huang sword.

"Welcome, Challenger."

An old and ethereal voice seemed to come from the void in all directions, echoing directly in Chen You's mind.

"This is the third stage of The Path of the Monarch—The Mirror of True Sight."

Chen You raised an eyebrow and didn't speak, waiting for what came next.

"A true monarch must not only conquer enemies but also conquer himself."

The voice continued, "Cowardice, rage, hatred... these are all poisons that erode the throne."

"Only those who dare to face their deepest emotions and overcome them are qualified to continue forward."

Chen You understood.

So this is a psychological counseling stage?

"Before you is the Mirror of True Sight."

"It will reflect your strongest negative emotion. You need to completely defeat it within the illusion."

The old voice paused, seemingly giving Chen You time to digest the information.

"Now, tell me your choice."

"Hatred, Anger, Fear."

"Which one do you choose to face?"

Hatred?

Chen You thought for a moment; he used to be a regular corporate slave, so he didn't seem to have anyone he hated deeply.

Anger?

That seemed fine too; most of the time he was quite calm.

Fear?

If it were before, there were quite a few things he was afraid of, but now...

Fear of death?

Facing death? That didn't feel very good.

After thinking quickly, Chen You suddenly thought of something.

Based on his understanding of the Source Realm, for this kind of multiple-choice question...

Only children make choices, I want them all...

No, I choose none of them!

Chen You looked at the huge mirror surface, which reflected himself, the starlight on his body seemingly merging with the background.

He spoke coldly.

"Who are you? I'll choose just because you tell me to?"

Are you teaching me how to do things?

One second.

Two seconds.

Three seconds.

Chen You's words seemed to have directly rendered the other party speechless.

After a long while, the voice sounded again.

"If you want to pass through here, you must make a choice."

Chen You smiled upon hearing this.

"Sounds great!"
