Journey to the West: Life Simulation of Sun Wukong

"Taking on this guy is going to drain a lot, and it takes time to recover with potions,"

Su Jie stepped back, "So, let's retreat first, there's no need to battle this guy to death. His speed shouldn't be as fast as ours."

Jos agreed immediately.

If they had to face such a foe, even with Su Jie as the main force, the skeleton was too fierce. One careless move might kill him instantly.

He didn't want to exit the scene so soon and end up watching the live stream in the meeting room.

That would be too boring.

Chen Tian Yuzi also agreed, "Preserving our strength and securing a victory in this round is key."

In reality, if Chen Tian Yuzi could merge with the Angel's Wings, dealing with undead creatures like the skeleton would be twice as effective.

However, Chen Tian Yuzi did not plan to merge in this Supreme Cup game.

After all, if she lost, the Angel's Wings would drop and be picked up by someone else...

Indeed, she believed that Su Jie could secure the ultimate victory, but if she needed his help to retrieve the Angel's Wings in the subsequent rounds, what would happen to her dignity?

Therefore, she planned to merge with the Angel's Wings after the elimination rounds of the Supreme Cup were over. At that point, the Angel's Wings would fully belong to her — she just needed to make regular repayments to Su Jie.

The four of them stepped forward and soon escaped the fiery tornado, heading into the distance.

At that moment, the circle refreshed again.

Su Jie and the others were still within the circle, but not at its center.

Thus, the four of them ran towards the center.

Meanwhile, the fiery tornado also chased after Su Jie and his team, but it was much slower and they quickly left it far behind.

However, this part of the map was round.

Therefore, no matter how far Su Jie and his team ran, they could always see the sky-reaching fiery tornado.

"We've temporarily disengaged." Zhang Manman had just breathed a sigh of relief when suddenly four sharp arrows shot at them from all around.

Su Jie and his team, quick on their feet, dodged them all.

"Friend, why not come out for a chat?" Su Jie called out loudly, "Shooting from the shadows isn't nice."

However, the little town was eerily silent.

Su Jie transmitted a message through the channel: "Zhang Manman, go around to the house twenty steps to the right beyond the main street; Jos, you also flank from the side and head to the house thirty steps to the left."

The two nodded, running through the narrow alleys on either side.

The four people hiding in those two houses saw Zhang Manman and Jos flanking them and tried to change their position too, but their speed was not as fast as Jos's and Zhang Manman's.

Both were able to take down two enemies each quickly.

Unfortunately, the loot boxes of these four people had no rare items.

Either they had stashed the items elsewhere and not brought them along, or they simply hadn't picked up any supply drops.

However, Jos did find a book on archery skills: "Sun-shooting Arrow."

According to the settings, once equipped with this skill, the arrow needs three minutes to charge up. Any enemy hit by it is certain to die.

The drawback is that charging takes a long time, and during this process, the shooter must remain completely immobile. This chapter was made possible by the MV_LEMPYR community.

It's good for long-range surprise attacks but absolutely unusable in close combat; it would make you a sitting duck unless you're impervious to weapons and invulnerable to elements.

Jos thought for a moment, equipped it in his Cultivation Technique slot, and informed Su Jie and the others about the characteristics of the Sun-shooting Arrow.

"So, can this Sun-shooting Arrow explode the fiery tornado formed by the skeleton with one shot?"

Zhang Manman glanced at the fire, which had come a bit closer, and seemed to see buildings, horses, and even players being swept into it.

Players could last at most three minutes before turning into loot boxes.

It seemed the skeleton had set its sights on them and wouldn't rest until it killed them."Are there others nearby?" Jos asked.

"No." Su Jie was firm, "Do you want to try out the power of this Sun-shooting Arrow?"

"After all, the Sun-shooting Arrow is a rare skill. Even though it's useless in close combat, it's said to be unbeatable from a distance. I've never picked it up before and really want to see just how powerful it is."

Having received Su Jie's approval, Jos activated the Sun-shooting Arrow skill. He stepped forward, his legs slightly bent as if connecting to the earth, anchoring himself firmly.

He held a bow in one hand and an arrow in the other, pulling the bowstring tight like a full moon, aiming the arrow at the slowly approaching fiery tornado.

In the void, specks of golden light gathered into the arrow, coating it with a layer of gold.

Simultaneously, intricate golden patterns emerged all over Jos's body, resembling thousands of golden rivers flowing, reflecting off the bow and arrow in his hands.

"Tweet--"

The energy at the tip of the arrow converged, forming a beak-like shape, with two ribbon-like wings billowing on either side.

"It really is a special effects-laden skill," Chen Tian Yuzi circled Jos, inspecting him from every angle: up, down, left, right, front, and back.

"Su Jie, have you noticed?" Zhang Manman seemed to sense something, though it wasn't very clear, feeling only that this unique rhythm wasn't just special effects but also a kind of breathing.

"The various cultivation techniques set in this Martial Arts Supreme game can actually provide references for our own martial training," Su Jie said with narrowed eyes. "This Sun-shooting Arrow is an unusual breathing technique that allows one to gather all their energy at one point in an instant and then burst forth."

"However, in reality, most people can't achieve this, not even for reference, so this method can currently only be realized in this Martial Arts Supreme game."

"And the three minutes of charging time..."

"I estimate that once vitality reaches 10, there won't be a need to waste so much time. It's just that the players who use this Sun-shooting Arrow skill are too weak, which is why it takes so long."

"If it were me, I reckon it would take about thirty seconds to handle it."

Three minutes passed in the blink of an eye.

During that time, no one else came over.

"Done!"

Jos excitedly released his thumb that was pinching the arrow feathers.

Whoosh——

In an instant, the arrow shot out like a meteor, breaking through the air rapidly, and the energy-carrying shaft turned to ashes in a flash, but the energy itself remained cohesive.

The radiance transformed, morphing into a divine bird, golden-feathered, three-footed.

Because it was so fast, only Su Jie had a clear view of it all.

The Three-legged Golden Crow hit the fire tornado directly.

Boom!

The two collided, and a tremendous burst of energy instantly ignited, causing the entire fire tornado to explode, forming a huge energy mass in mid-air.

At that moment, all the players looked up, watching the violent energy in the distance and stopped their actions.

"What on earth is that?"

"That's a bit too exaggerated!"

"It seems like Su Jie is in the same field as us; could it be his doing?"

Various teams were shocked and somber and couldn't help forming a large group spontaneously, preparing to jointly eliminate Su Jie and his team first.

"Let's not fight for now. How about we eliminate Su Jie first?"

"Unlawful teaming? I like it."

Whenever a team encountered another team, they almost invariably raised this topic and then united, moving together towards the explosion.

All players still active in this desert spontaneously banded together.

No other reason.

Su Jie's presence was a bit unprecedented.

Among them, the player with the highest vitality was merely at 4, while Su Jie had reached 7, which was a completely dimension-reducing blow to them, and with the big commotion he just made, it was certain they needed to eliminate him first.

Otherwise, they would be eliminated in this round.

The players were both male and female, but they all had one target—Su Jie.

At this moment, Su Jie became the focal point of this battlefield, making everyone spontaneously unite...

…

"Great! We see that Jiang Wudao has successfully defeated a special airdrop in the Supreme Cup elimination match—the twenty-meter-tall Saiya Giant, obtaining a unique item of this Supreme Cup: Saiya Essence Blood."

"This essence blood can strengthen the flesh, and is indeed very practical."

In the broadcast room, Zhao Xinglong and Cao Jingjing, acting as commentators, introduced the situation of various game fantasy battlefields to others, mainly focusing the video on outstanding candidates.

For example, Jiang Wudao.

However, during the commentary, they glossed over various items that could be brought into reality, only mentioning that they were unique to the Supreme Cup, without specifying whether they could be taken out.

This was a form of respect for the privacy of the contestants.

"Jiang Wudao's victory is secured, but honestly, it's just him fighting in his team. The rest of the team is just filling the numbers," Cao Jingjing venomously remarked, giving no face to the other members of Jiang Wudao's team.

If this were ordinary game commentary, her frankness would basically warrant dismissal.

Unfortunately, she's Cao Jingjing.

No one dared to fire her, not to mention that she and Zhao Xinglong were hosting this Supreme Cup together.

The purpose of hosting it was plain: to allow interaction among players from internal and external courtyards and beyond Ming Lun.

Thus, the vitality of players entering this Supreme Cup remained exactly like their real-life counterparts.

However, to ensure fairness, they did not remove various materials within the fantasy realm.

After all, if those cultivation techniques were used well, they could turn the tables unexpectedly, allowing the weak to overpower the strong.

For example—

"Now, let's take a look at another team, Ye Xiu's team."

Zhao Xinglong continued, "This is an external courtyard game team, also the only one that has persisted to the fourth round. Their team includes team leader Ye Xiu, members Fang Rui, Tang Rou, Su Mucheng, who are quite famous in the game Martial Supreme, having an individual vitality roughly at 0.7."

"Hah, they're all ordinary people," Cao Jingjing scoffed.

"Indeed," Zhao Xinglong nodded. "But if you went back ten or so years, a vitality of 0.7 would have been considered a minor expert, capable of fighting five at a time."

"Of course, we're not talking about their vitality, but their game operation."

"After being fully armed, their strength also reached the level of vitality 3, and with their coordination, even opponents with a vitality of 5 would bitterly face elimination."

Cao Jingjing sadly remarked, "If they could practice martial arts, they would undoubtedly be among the high experts."

Zhao Xinglong switched the screen, pretending to be shocked, "Oh my, Ye Xiu and his team's luck might end soon, as they've matched in the same field with Su Jie..."
