18: The cultivator can be killed instantly with one strike!

Midnight Gao Sou had thought it through very well.

From the live demonstration, the main storyline should be leaving the town and going to the mountain range to find a Sect to apprentice.

Then, there was no need to follow the procedure for this Immortal accepting disciples.

He would just fight his way through!

As for the Immortal's strength... actually, Midnight Gao Sou didn't have too many thoughts about it.

Many people, including him, who saw the CG and the live demonstration, only felt that it was a display effect, which meant the special effects were gorgeous.

In terms of specific values, it would definitely still be similar to traditional Wuxia, not too extraordinary, otherwise players would not adapt.

It was this misunderstanding that led Midnight Gao Sou to make a decision that would blow up the show's effect—

He was going to challenge the Immortal to 'prove' his strength.

"Brothers, I'm almost in the main hall. I'll soon see that Immortal. As long as I defeat him, the Newbie Village should be cleared.

"My progress must be the fastest, right?"

Midnight Gao Sou chatted happily with his live stream audience while letting the servants lead the way.

In his opinion, although the four servants didn't seem strong, it was because he, Midnight Gao Sou, had a Traditional Martial Arts foundation, could directly learn Qinghe Town's basic boxing, and could perform difficult moves.

If it were anyone else, they would definitely still be stuck at this point, still sparring with the servants' wooden sticks.

"[Streamer, is there a possibility that you don't actually need to fight the four servants?]"

"[I went to Old Potato's stream. He didn't smash the door. He waited a while and the servants opened the door for him. Now he's bribing the servants.]"

"[LOL, turns out the streamer chose the hardest path himself.]"

Midnight Gao Sou was stunned for a moment, but quickly regained his composure: "Ahem, since the game hasn't crashed and I haven't restarted, it means the game has high freedom and there's no right or wrong choice. Anyway, I'm just a reckless man (reckless person), so I'll just keep fighting!"

Midnight Gao Sou was very confident.

With his strength as a hardcore player, clearing a Newbie Village was a piece of cake, wasn't it?

"[Brothers, Xiao Daidai has already reached the main hall and is obediently waiting in line for the test.]"

"[I saw it too. That Immortal is actually just a Young man in black, nothing special.]"

"[They say he's a Cultivator sent by Duan Kong Cave. Anyway, he's probably like a recruitment officer from some school, right?]"

"[Then his strength shouldn't be strong.]"

Seeing the bullet comments, Midnight Gao Sou nodded.

Very good, other streamers were all peacefully going through the story.

So he just had to defeat the boss and rush all the way through.

Wouldn't that create a great show effect?

As for not being able to defeat the boss... impossible.

He, Midnight Gao Sou, was a hardcore player, had truly learned Traditional Martial Arts and fighting, and had been playing games for so many years. He had never had to fight a Newbie Village boss twice!

Soon, Midnight Gao Sou followed the servant into the main hall.

The martial arts hall's main hall was very grand, capable of accommodating hundreds of people. The straight wooden pillars were carved with statues of the Qinghe Ancestral Master, and weapons like swords, spears, staffs, and clubs hung above, creating a very majestic atmosphere.

At this moment, dozens of martial arts apprentices, including the burly Senior Brother, stood solemnly in the center, facing Midnight Gao Sou.

The respected Old Master trembled with rage: "Disgraceful disciple! Disgraceful disciple!"

After scolding, he prostrated himself at the feet of the Young man in black in front of the main hall, crying: "Immortal, although this is an apprentice from my martial arts hall, he has always been extremely mischievous and was already locked in solitary confinement. We knew nothing of what he did today!"

The Young man in black said nothing, merely stood up and walked towards Midnight Gao Sou with a smile.

"[He's here! He's here! The BOSS battle is here!]"

"[Why is there no BGM?]"

"[Where's the mod? Turn on the BGM!]"

For some reason, even though it should have been a boss battle, the game didn't switch the BGM.

The capable assistant quickly operated the controls and changed the BGM for the live stream.

The stirring music suddenly erupted, and layers of drumbeats sounded, as if an epic battle was about to begin.

Midnight Gao Sou was also very excited.

"Brothers, this person should be a Cultivator, which means new content in the Xuanhuan Worldview.

"We can see what makes this Cultivator different from a Martial Artist."

Midnight Gao Sou rubbed his fists.

At this moment, the bullet comments in the live stream suddenly exploded:

"[Holy crap! Holy crap! Streamer, run!]"

"[I just came back from Old Potato's stream. Old Potato is already dead!]"

"[He failed to bribe the servants and then tried to bribe the Cultivator, which was considered an insult, and he was killed on the spot.]"

"[The Cultivator is terrifyingly strong!]"

Midnight Gao Sou's eyebrow twitched.

But he didn't take it to heart.

"Heh heh, Old Potato plays with social interaction. He's not good at combat, so it's normal for him to be killed by the boss.

"I, Midnight Gao Sou, am different. I am a Traditional Martial Arts inheritor, and I've also learned fighting. And I'm not boasting, but I'm also a record holder for boss battles in many hardcore games.

"Do you really think I can't defeat a Newbie Village boss?"

Midnight Gao Sou chuckled, not at all thinking he would be killed.

Joke, dying in the Newbie Village? That's never happened, okay?

"[Something happened with Xiao Daidai too!]"

"[They said she doesn't have a Spiritual Root and couldn't pass the test.]"

"[She's already been put back in solitary confinement.]"

"[Holy crap, Xiao Daidai didn't resist?]"

"[No, she obediently went to solitary confinement, LOL.]"

Spiritual Root, what is that?

Midnight Gao Sou frowned, this was an unfamiliar concept.

But his comprehension ability was indeed very strong, and it seemed to be the standard for Cultivators to recruit disciples.

"Brothers, I'll say this now: even if I don't have a Spiritual Root, I will prove my worth with my strength and fight my way out directly.

"I, Midnight Gao Sou, will definitely not obediently go to the confinement room!"

Midnight Gao Sou looked directly at the Young man in black who was approaching step by step.

At this moment, he suddenly noticed that a faint glow seemed to linger around the other person.

It was white, very faint, but definitely there.

The Internal Energy of a martial arts master?

Midnight Gao Sou thought for a moment. He had played many Wuxia games before. Even if there was a difference in Internal Energy, it could be compensated by skill. He wouldn't be instantly killed by one blow; he could always find an opportunity to counterattack or even escape.

This was the characteristic of the Wuxia world: no matter how strong a master was, their strength had limits, and there wasn't too great a gap between them and Mortals.

Then the Young man in black suddenly accelerated, flashing next to Midnight Gao Sou. Then, his hand glowed and pressed against Midnight Gao Sou's forehead.

Soon, the Young man in black shook his head: "No Spiritual Root."

Midnight Gao Sou froze, his pupils contracting.

Because the Young man in black's speed was simply too fast, not like a small boss in the Newbie Village, but more like the final boss at the end of the game.

Did Jiang Feng from Huan Meng set the values wrong?

This thought had just popped into Midnight Gao Sou's mind.

When he saw the Young man in black lightly tap his forehead.

The next moment, a faint white light directly pierced through his entire skull.

Under the gaze of countless people in the live stream.

Midnight Gao Sou slumped powerlessly.

Dead!

"What's going on?!"
