302: Chapter 302 You like rap, right?

High in the air, the projection of the Star Sea King spread his arms wide.

"Feel the fury of the Star Sea! No one can block my rhythm!"

Accompanied by a deafening heavy metal electronic remix, hundreds of starlight blades tore through the air, heading straight for Chen You's face.

Chen You stood where he was, not even lifting an eyelid.

The Nine Revolutions Primordial Chaos Art within his body operated frantically, and the massive spiritual energy of the Qi Refining Eighth Layer instantly poured into his legs.

Bang!

The metal ground beneath Chen You's feet suddenly caved in, cracking with spiderweb-like fissures.

His figure transformed into a blurred afterimage, charging directly toward the sky full of starlight.

There were no flashy skills, no gorgeous light and shadow effects.

It was pure numerical suppression and extreme speed.

Chen You wove through the gaps between the spears; those attacks, which were enough to instantly kill an ordinary level 30 player, couldn't even touch the corner of his clothes.

The Star Sea King's projection's expression changed, and he slammed his hands together: "Starlight Cage!"

The surrounding air instantly became viscous, attempting to imprison Chen You.

Chen You let out a cold snort, and the blade of the yuhuang sword in his hand vibrated, the violent spiritual energy directly shattering the surrounding imprisonment force field.

The next second, he had already appeared behind the Star Sea King's projection.

"Percussion, begin."

Chen You flipped his wrist, not using the sharp blade, but instead gripping the hilt tight and swinging his arm in a full circle.

Aiming at the back of the Star Sea King's projection's head, which was emitting blue light, he smashed down fiercely.

Thud!

An extremely crisp, extremely loud dull thud echoed over the mining area.

This sound even drowned out the Star Sea King's built-in electronic BGM.

The Star Sea King's projection stiffened all over, his head suddenly pitching forward, and a huge red damage number floated above his head.

【-27321! (Weak Point Attack)】

"You..." The Star Sea King just wanted to turn his head.

Thud!

Chen You backhanded another hilt strike, precisely hitting the same spot.

"You like to go 'untz-untz', huh?"

Thud!

"A comeback debut, huh?"

Thud!

"You like RAP, huh?"

Thud-thud-thud-thud-thud!

Chen You's hand speed was so fast it left afterimages.

The hilt of the yuhuang sword was like a pile driver, frantically pounding on the back of the Star Sea King's projection's head.

The crisp pounding sounds merged into one, forcefully beating out a strange sense of rhythm.

The Star Sea King's projection was completely stunned.

He was a dignified Mythical-grade BOSS projection, with his own heaven and earth phenomena upon appearance, but now he was being held in mid-air and bludgeoned.

He tried to counterattack, but every time he just started to gather energy, the back of his head would receive a heavy blow, and his skill would be instantly interrupted.

Below.

Shadow Monarch Dai had crawled to a safe corner at some point.

He didn't know where he had fished out two glowing blue fluorescent ores, one in each hand, waving them frantically.

"His Majesty is mighty! His Majesty is awesome!"

"Hit him! Yes! Just hit that spot! This old thing used to love looking down his nose at people!"

"Left! Right! Oh my, this positioning is superb! As expected of His Majesty!"

The soul fire under his mask jumped frantically with excitement, turning into the most professional cheerleader, his chanting voice ringing loud enough to shake the sky.

Chen You listened to the noise from Shadow Monarch Dai below, the force in his hand increasing a few more notches.

The Star Sea King's projection's health bar dropped frantically at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Fifty percent.

Thirty percent.

Ten percent.

One percent!

Chen You's eyes narrowed, and he raised the hilt, preparing to deliver the final blow.

However.

Thud!

This blow landed, but no damage numbers floated above the Star Sea King's projection's head; instead, a gray 【Immune】 popped up.

The health bar, which had originally reached the bottom, was locked by a glaring red frame.

Chen You paused.

Locked health?

The Star Sea King's projection took advantage of this pause to suddenly dash forward dozens of meters, putting some distance between them.

He looked extremely wretched at this moment.

His silver armor was pitted and scarred, the starlight bandages were broken into several pieces, and several large bumps had swollen on his originally deep blue skin.

"Despicable outlander!"

The Star Sea King's projection clutched the back of his head, the electronic voice trembling with exasperation.

"If it weren't for the fact that I have been sealed for three thousand years and my energy is depleted, how could I suffer such a great humiliation!"

He violently tore open the void in front of him with both hands, and a dark blue portal instantly took shape.

"I just haven't recovered my strength yet! You just wait for me!"

The Star Sea King's projection stepped half his body into the portal, turning back to glare viciously at Chen You.

"When I return to my peak, I will definitely..."

Chen You expressionlessly raised the yuhuang sword in his hand, making a motion to throw it.

Whoosh!

The Star Sea King's projection swallowed the rest of his sentence, scrambling and crawling into the portal.

The edges of the portal began to flicker, clearly unable to hold on for much longer.

Chen You looked at that portal, cursing the planners of the Source Realm system ten thousand times in his heart.

This crappy game, forced health locking, running away when unable to win—it had pushed being annoying to the extreme.

He turned his head and looked at Shadow Monarch Dai below, who was still waving the ores.

"Do you want to go together?" Chen You asked.

The ores in Shadow Monarch Dai's hands fell to the ground with a "clatter".

He stood straight, chest puffed out, his tone incomparably serious.

"Your Majesty! This mining area has just been unsealed, and the space is extremely unstable."

"As the logistics supervisor of the Royal Court, I must stay behind to stabilize the formation eye and protect the ruins on site!"

"The Star Sea King, that old thief, is insidious and cunning; I fear he is trying to lure the tiger away from the mountain!"

"You can rest assured and chase him! With me here at home, nothing will go wrong!"

Chen You looked at his righteous appearance, which was actually cowardly to the core, and couldn't be bothered to expose him.

"Suit yourself."

Chen You dropped these three words, his figure flashing, and he charged directly into the portal that was about to close.

With a flash of light, the portal completely disappeared.

The bottom of the mining area returned to dead silence.

Shadow Monarch Dai breathed a long sigh of relief, slumped on the ground, and touched his own cold armor.

"That scared the life out of me."

"That was the Star Sea King's projection, and this new boss is just too fierce..."

...

Chen You's feet landed on solid ground.

His ears were no longer filled with the roar of the underground mining area and the howling of the cold wind; instead, they were filled with extremely noisy human voices.

"Forming a party to farm Icefield Wolves, need a mage with crowd control, missing one! Hop on and let's go!"

"High price for Snow Lotus, bring your price if you have it! Scalpers get lost!"

"Take a look, take a look, freshly made Cold Resistance Potions, lasts for two hours, essential for dungeons!"

Chen You opened his eyes and looked around.

This was an extremely wide circular plaza.

The ground was paved with silver-white metal floor tiles, fitting together seamlessly.

Around the plaza stood buildings that towered into the clouds.

These buildings had strange styles, mostly built with giant stones as the main material, indescribably simple.

The plaza was crowded with people.

Berserkers carrying giant swords, elves holding staves, and even several players riding mechanical motorcycles weaving through the crowd.

The hawking of stall vendors, the shouts of party organizers, and the greetings of acquaintances meeting gathered into a strong, lively atmosphere of an online game main city.

Chen You stood in the center of the plaza.

"Is this... the real Cangxing City?"
