Chapter 1054: One Hundred One Kills

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

Xia Fei’s Xiao Xing model was widely acknowledged as the trashiest model in the entire soul battle simulation networks. Though Xia Fei had managed to win eighteen challenges using this worst model through his rich battle experience, all of them were not easy wins. After all, Xiao Xing’s model was truly

very trashy with only one arm.

While using the model, though he mainly relied on his leg strength, being one-armed severely hampered his balance. This was why, when Xia Fei habitually did his high-speed charge at the beginning, he had difficulty executing it. Xia Fei kept feeling like something was amiss.

However, as he spent more time fighting with this Xiao Xing model, Xia Fei slowly realized that there was a hidden potential to it. Every time he used Sly Thrust and its dazzling footwork, the unsteadiness of his body would not, by any means, be a burden but would, instead, provide him unrestrained

movement. It was almost as if the Xiao Xing model had this unique control over unbalanced movement, granting Xia Fei a level of agility akin to that of a butterfly, easy and flighty.

Xia Fei’s greatest trait was his ability to lean and utilize anything and everything that benefited him. Soon, he had adapted his Crafty Approach toward this unsteadiness. Given how Crafty Approach focused on extreme twists and evasive movements while extremely unbalanced, and with how his body

had changed now, Xia Fei made it even nimbler and more peculiar, which greatly enhanced the flightiness of his movements.

*Whoosh*

Everyone saw Xia Fei twist at his position, and in three steps, he had actually managed to appear in front of his opponent, raised his arm, and stabbed the target’s heart with cold precision.

Fuchen frowned. ‘This footwork is simply too erratic! There doesn’t seem to be any pattern to it, and so it’s extraordinarily unpredictable! Who said that Xiao Xing is trashy and the worst model? If I could achieve such whimsical footwork after losing an arm, I’d gladly trade mine for it, too!

Not just the secular Fuchen, even the average warrior could tell just how frightening this footwork of Xia Fei was. He could practically appear beside his enemy in just a few steps and deal a lethal blow on them.

With Xia Fei controlling it, Xiao Xing was like a different model; he exploded with a combat strength that frightened people!

Warriors could see the change in Xiao Xing through Xia Fei’s demonstration, but it was too bad that these commoners had no way of knowing just what he had done to achieve that.

Most opponents he faced treated this as merely a game, and when he did face a real warrior, Xia Fei naturally outclassed them in terms of combat experience, not to mention when Xia Fei used Crafty Approach to enhance Xiao Xing’s movements. Hence, this rarely seen challenge quickly tuned into a

one-sided slaughter.

*Squelch*

Lives were taken with every raise of his sword!

From the start till this point, Xia Fei had not used a single soul art and had solely relied on his physical agility to kill everyone! In the blink of an eye, thirty-seven people lay dead on the ground.

Those watching the fights and those who had challenged him were all dumbfounded! None of them expected that the garbage Xiao Xing model could actually turn into a one-armed killer!

Xia Fei had forcibly turned this garbage model into an awesome evildoer!

His immense learning capabilities could finally be used once more. Because of his many injuries, Xia Fei had no way of participating in actual combat, but he was able to find new enjoyment from these simulated battles.

Crafty Approach was constantly changing, and ever since Phantom taught this Assassin Sect footwork to Xia Fei, he had never stopped improving on this technique. If any Assassin Sect warrior were with Xia Fei right now, they would surely fail to recognize this as the Crafty Approach, which had

originated from them. This was because, under Xia Fei’s constant improvement of it, this technique had long transcended the limit of what was humanly possible, becoming as ephemeral as the shadow of a ghost.

His erratic footwork still continued, and another opponent fell without any suspense, collapsing into a pool of virtual blood.

Flicking his shortsword to one side with a bit of force, droplets of fresh blood fell off its blade.

Xia Fei shook his head and called, “Next!”

The feminine voice of the system sounded: [There are presently no challengers. Please wait patiently.]

Xia Fei was surprised. He clearly remembered accepting over three hundred challenges, so how come he had run out of opponents after fighting only about a hundred or so of them?

Xia Fei’s finger brushed the air and saw that, indeed, not a single name was left on the challengers’ list.

It turned out that after his one-sided massacre, those who originally wanted to beat him up had all chosen to withdraw their challenge. None of them hesitated even though they would lose three points by doing so.

Xia Fei only had himself to blame for being too savage, slicing and injuring the crotches of his enemies at the drop of a hat. After all, the system would transmit whatever damage their models received directly to the players’ neural system. While those simulated injuries would not actually harm their

bodies, the immense pain would be unavoidable. These common folks were only participating in soul battles for fun, and there was nothing fun about a game if they would just get abused.

The Mammoth, Soul Battle Simulation Great Hall.

“One hundred and one consecutive wins! That’s a new record!” The shaken crowd gasped in shock.

“He’s using Xiao Xing, too! To think that there’d be someone who could achieve one hundred and one consecutive wins with that garbage model. It’s no doubt a miracle!”

“Did any of you recognize the footwork he used?”

“I don’t recognize it at all, but it seems to be very powerful!”

“It’s not just powerful; I reckon that that Xiao Fei person is a professional warrior!”

“Most professional warriors don’t start from rank 1. If he’s been cultivating since young and got exposed to this soul battle simulation, why would he still be rank 1 even now?”

How could any of them know that Xia Fei was not a local of the Alpha Universe and that this was his first time playing such a virtual soul battle?

In the Alpha Universe, warriors would start receiving virtual training at a young age, so even if they had not tapped onto soul power at that time, they could at least familiarize themselves with soul battle simulations. This way, when it was time for them to use their Soul Marks in reality and become real

warriors, they would be able to do more with less.

Hence, there were few warriors who joined the first rank of soul battles, as most of them had gotten past it when they were still young.

It was precisely this that Xia Fei had only ever encountered regular people the entire afternoon and had only bumped into a handful of warriors, and these warriors were those with poor cultivation, too.

Even if Xia Fei’s opponents were not strong enough, his record was still very outstanding, given that he was using the jinx Xiao Xing, the trashiest warrior model in the entire universe.

Soon, Xiao Fei’s name was on the lips of the Mammoth’s soul battle enthusiasts. As it was an alias and there were several million people onboard the ship, no one could find any clue on who he was, so they could only make guesses.

“Look! Xiao Fei’s gone offline!”

“Hmm… That’s true. Is he no longer planning to accept challenges? Even if he doesn’t have any challenger, the system can still match him with one.”

“He earned 535 points in just over an hour. I’m afraid that Xiao Fei will still be number one even if his record is put on the Galaxy network. That’s even more so because of the fact that he’s using that jinx of a model. He probably felt that there’s no meaning in continuing to fight, so he logged out.”

In soul battle simulation, every opponent someone killed would earn them one point, and whoever withdrew from a challenge would be docked three points, which would then be transferred to their opponent. Xia Fei had accepted 318 challenges all at once, and though he only fought one hundred one

battles, he had managed to earn a total of 535 points! As for his win rate, it was 100%!

Unfortunately, just as everyone had begun to look forward to Xia Fei breaking the record and reaching the top, he actually chose to log out! Many were all perplexed over this.

The crowd, which had gathered in the great hall, gradually dispersed, but their curiosity over Xiao Fei’s identity only intensified.

Not one of them had taken notice of a young man with strange purple hair walking past the hall.

He was about fourteen or thirteen years old, yet this young man gave off quite an aura. Two skinny elders were behind him; it was easy to tell that neither of their cultivation was weak.

Seeing how packed the hall was, this young man frowned slightly. He then lightly gestured with his hand, and one of the two elders quickly stepped forward and waited for his instructions, appearing very respectful.

“Go and find out what has happened,” said the young man coldly.

In no time at all, the elder returned to the young man’s side after a quick trip in the crowd.

“The commotion was caused by someone using Xiao Xing’s model, for they achieved a 100% win rate for his one hundred and one battles.”

“Xiao Xing’s model?” the young shrugged as he muttered. “What rank is that from? Why don’t I recall it?”

The elder smiled. “Xiao Xing is by no means a powerful character, but because he’s a cripple, his model has an outrageously low win rate, and that’s also why it’s called a jinx. No matter who that person is, it’s no easy feat to win one hundred and one matches with the Xiao Xing model.”

The young man got curious. “Do either of you think that I can achieve a similar win rate as him if I use that model?”

The elders chuckled. “Young Master Xiaoxiao sure knows how to crack a joke. Xiao Xing is a rank 1 soul battle model. You’re not really thinking of using him to mess with those average rank 1 warriors, are you?”

“Let’s not talk about whether I’l do it or not. I wanna take a look at the model first.” The young man called Xiaoxiao spoke earnestly. “Let’s go. We’ll head back to the room right now.”

The two elders behind him shrugged helplessly. It could not be helped. This was the serious side of Young Master Xiao.

Duke Suite.

Xia Fei lit himself a cigarette after he logged out from the system and was now deep in thought.

“Heh… Looks like you gained something from that experience, huh?” asked Fuchen with a smile.

Xia Fei nodded. “That’s right. The Xiao Xing model isn’t actually garbage. He also has a hidden potential; it just hasn’t been explored.”

Fuchen thought about what Xia Fei had just said and commented, “That’s not exactly impossible; it’s just that Xiao Xing is quite low-ranked, so no one is willing to waste time uncovering his potential. That’s also why that cripple model has long been forgotten by the people.”

After a pause, Fuchen asked, “What do you think will happen if you use that amazing footwork on yourself?”

Xia Fei answered, “I’m also wondering about that very question myself. It’s just unfortunate that I can’t cultivate or do real training right now, so there’s no way for me to test out what I’ve just gained.”

Fuchen said, “Well, since you’ve already experienced it, you should of course test it out immediately, or else you might eventually forget it. At such a time, the benefit of occupying a Duke Suite is once more apparent! Come with me.”

The two exited the room, and Fuchen led Xia Fei to the top floor of the ship. The Duke Suite and other luxury rooms were all in the same zone, so both did not face any impediment as they made their way over to their destination. They easily entered the VIP training room for The Mammoth’s elite clients

like them. If Xia Fei were not in this zone, there would be no way for him to access this place at all.

“What’s that?” Xia Fei inquisitively pointed to the largest machinery in the training room..
