Otherworldly Skeleton Evolution

Zhang Mengmeng had actually been doubting Jiang Cheng’s identity all along.

The mysterious and powerful him, once he appeared, would sweep away everything.

Whether it was the various godly techniques he used in the game, or his outrageous understanding of the game…

As well as his subtle control over every detail and his attitude of handling anything calmly no matter who he faced…

All of it deeply fascinated her.

Up until now, no matter what opponent he encountered, he had never lost a single match.

In Zhang Mengmeng’s heart, Jiang Cheng was simply an invincible legend.

Sometimes she even wondered if the Twelve Gods would also not be a match for him.

She was eager to know about Jiang Cheng’s past and try to understand his heart.

It’s just that she was very clear that everything now was brought about by Skeleton Big Brother.

She was very afraid. What if once she asked, Skeleton Big Brother would feel distanced from her?

But as Jiang Cheng’s strength grew stronger and the information he revealed increased, she became more and more curious about Jiang Cheng’s identity.

Because she always felt that Jiang Cheng gave her a feeling quite similar to a certain person.

It’s just that she didn’t dare believe it and also felt it wasn’t very likely.

“Who am I?”

Jiang Cheng’s footsteps paused.

The past glories suddenly flashed one by one in his mind.

Hailed as the ceiling of the gaming world, always at the pinnacle of the pyramid.

Single-handedly defeating the Seven Oddities, praised as the supreme god standing at the peak of the clouds, a legend above the Twelve Gods.

The master of all sixteen professions.

Ranked first on the leaderboards of all sixteen professions, hailed as the Great Demon King of the Ladder.

Three consecutive champion of the Sword Testing Tournament in Mythic, the absolute ruler in professional competitions.

Taking online gaming to its peak, creating the era of nationwide gaming, the founder of the Fourteen Divine Techniques, and the creator of the Divine Technique era.

The man who, by himself, forced the game company to change the rules.

The former holder of 1,175 world records.

Publicly recognized as the most successful and greatest person in the history of online gaming.

In the legends, the most popular among players and the role model master everyone wanted to follow.

The dream man of countless female players.

The winner of the Best DPS honor for four sessions of the Sword Testing Tournament in Mythic.

The only one who dared to openly oppose the Temple, although that was just his alt.

Of course, he had many other titles, but they were all unimportant now.

No matter how glorious the past was, it was still the past.

“The past is not important. You only need to know that I am your protector now. That’s enough.”

Jiang Cheng hid in A Silly Cutie’s shadow and spoke no more.

“Mm, I know. Skeleton Big Brother is the best.”

Although she was still a bit curious, she didn’t dare ask more.

She was afraid of losing Jiang Cheng, and it wasn’t because of any benefits.

“But Skeleton Big Brother, this walking pace you taught me is really bizarre.”

Along the way, she had actually been practicing the mysterious footwork Jiang Cheng taught her.

This footwork made her slow at times and fast at others, occasionally requiring her to jump left and right, and she even had to maintain an elegant walking posture. It made her feel very awkward.

Although Yue Xia Qing and the others didn’t say anything about her, that was only because she was their guild leader and they didn’t dare say it.

Zhang Mengmeng reckoned they must be laughing their heads off inside.

However, what she found amazing was that this footwork seemed to have some special effect.

The fast and slow, left and right, front and back all had their unique patterns. It was very profound and was likely some incredible stepping technique.

“It’s a combination of Phantom Step and Flash Step Flicker. This is my latest experiment.”

Jiang Cheng slowly began, “Phantom Step is the pinnacle of vision and footwork, awareness and predictive ability.”

“Using the opponent’s thinking and body momentum, absolutely predicting the direction of the opponent’s movement, calculating in advance with footwork to block the opponent’s blind spot and make yourself disappear from their field of view.”

“Flash Step Flicker, on the other hand, is the pinnacle of movement speed and footwork. It uses extreme speed double-position flickering to dodge the opponent’s skills and attacks. In the past, it was used to snatch equipment dropped by monsters that others were killing when there was no time limit.”

“Ah… this is a combination of Phantom Step and Flash Step Flicker?”

A Silly Cutie was incredibly surprised in her heart.

She felt she was really too lucky.

To actually receive guidance from a master like Skeleton Big Brother.

Although she didn’t know what his identity was…

But with his skill, even Dharma Demon was no match for him, and he had never lost. Naturally, she wouldn’t doubt Jiang Cheng’s strength.

As for using her as an experiment, she didn’t have the slightest bit of aversion.

You have to know, others didn’t even have this opportunity.

“Actually, Phantom Step and Flash Step Flicker have many things in common.” Jiang Cheng said.

“The footwork of Phantom Step is mainly based on fast and slow progression, while the footwork of Flash Step Flicker is mainly based on left and right flashing.”

“The effect of Phantom Step is to use the opponent’s vision blind spot to make them suddenly lose sight of you, causing them to fall into confusion and lose skill lock-on. This is the abstract part.”

“Flash Step Flicker, on the other hand, is suitably dodging while advancing without affecting the forward steps when you clearly know the opponent’s skill is coming at you. This is the concrete part.”

“These two techniques, when used against opponents of the same level, actually don’t have much effect. Because what you know, they also know. It’s hard to predict their movement, and they can also change strategies at any time, gradually making you lose control of the battle rhythm.”

“However, if the two can be combined, allowing you to both avoid skills and disappear from sight while charging forward…”

Jiang Cheng’s eyes focused.

“But you don’t need to aim too high. For now, just practice the footwork well. This is just an experiment of mine. It’s hard to say if it will succeed.”

“Of course, even if the footwork succeeds, it’s useless. Your foundation is too poor.”

“Eh… alright, don’t worry, Skeleton Big Brother. I will definitely work hard. Hehe.” A Silly Cutie shrank her little head.

“But Skeleton Big Brother, you sounded like a teacher just now. Have you taught disciples before?”

“Disciples? I have.”

Jiang Cheng nodded. In his mind, the petite figure with ice-blue long hair involuntarily appeared again.

Who knows where that little girl ran off to and what she was doing now.

“Then… how are they doing now?” A Silly Cutie’s eyes spun, a hint of cunningness in her gaze.

Unfortunately, Jiang Cheng didn’t directly answer her question. “Actually, you are my disciple now.”

“Ah? Really?” Upon hearing this, A Silly Cutie was instantly overjoyed and turned her head. “Then do I need to pay tuition fees? Do I need to perform the apprenticeship ceremony?”

“Tuition fees?” Jiang Cheng recalled what she said before. “Someone has already paid it for you.”

“Someone has already paid it for me? When?” A Silly Cutie was a bit dazed, completely not knowing what riddle Jiang Cheng was speaking.

“You will know in the future.” Jiang Cheng smiled and patted her head. “Don’t think too much. Right now, you should focus on learning and strive to stand on your own.”

“Oh, alright.” Zhang Mengmeng pouted. She felt as if something was tickling her heart, making her very uncomfortable.

“Wait! Where are you taking me? This isn’t the resurrection point, right?”

As Ghost walked, he suddenly felt something was off and his face changed.

He always felt that he had been tricked by them.
