Chen Tian was also preparing to step into the Star Mark Sacred Hall. The grand hall before Chen Tian was called the Star Mark Sacred Hall, a building specifically opened for the Star Mark Sacred Meteor's anniversary competition. Leng Feng then directly approached Chen Tian and said, "I want to duel you. Do you dare? The God King you are now!"
Chen Tian also looked at Leng Feng and then nonchalantly replied, "Not interested. You were no match for me four years ago, and you still aren't now. You simply don't have the qualifications. You should spend your time improving your personality and leading your team to greater heights! Otherwise, don't settle for third or fourth place every year. Your team members are not bad; it's your personality that's lacking."
As if his sore spot had been touched, Leng Feng became enraged. "Do you think you're still the same as before? I don't need your criticism. I'll find a way to sort out my team myself. Right now, I just want to fight you. Do you dare or not?"
Chen Tian ignored Leng Feng, but Leng Feng blocked Chen Tian's path. Chen Xue then stepped forward and angrily reprimanded, "My brother said he's not interested. Are you going to move or do you want to be a stumbling block?"
Leng Feng's expression darkened upon hearing this. He then looked at Chen Xue, and upon seeing her, he was stunned. His eyes then lit up. "Chen Tian, who is this? She's not your girlfriend, is she? You should leave Chen Tian and follow me. After all, Chen Tian is a good-for-nothing."
"Enough, Leng Feng. Say one more word, and get out of my way!"
Chen Tian's face became somber, and he stared at Leng Feng with killing intent. Leng Feng was still incorrigible, still eyeing his sister. Chen Tian then said to Leng Feng, "Oh, you're angry now, aren't you? How about we have a fight? I want to see if you still deserve the title of God King."
"Oh! Right, right, right. I forgot your account was already repossessed by the officials and given to someone else from another team. You don't have an account anymore."
Leng Feng said with a sneer. Chen Tian raised his arm high, and a flower bracelet appeared on it. Chen Tian then said, "Who says I don't have the game's Star Mark Flower Ring?"
Leng Feng was delighted and then raised his arm, revealing a seven-colored flower bracelet. Chen Tian said, "Oh! Seven Sacred Meteorite fragments, and they're not low level either! It looks like your strength has grown quite a bit over the years!"
"Of course. So, do you dare to compete?"
"A joke! You, a player with seven Sacred Meteorite fragments, challenging me, a player with four Sacred Meteorite fragments. Are you even embarrassed? The gap is so large, have you no shame?"
Leng Feng's expression turned unpleasant. Indeed, for him, a player with seven Sacred Meteorite fragments, to go up against a player with four Sacred Meteorite fragments would be a loss of professional player dignity if it got out.
"Chen Tian, Sister Chen Xue, why are you so slow? The anniversary competition is about to start."
Long Xue'er also appeared before them. Another stunning beauty. Leng Feng felt that this young girl was very familiar, as if he had seen her somewhere before.
But then Leng Feng shook his head and said, "I'm challenging Chen Tian, wanting to spar. But Chen Tian is too afraid."
He shamelessly requested this, making it sound as if Chen Tian were a coward hiding in his shell. Chen Xue's fists clenched. Chen Tian instantly sensed a power but it vanished immediately. He didn't know why. But that power was indeed the power of a deity from the Divine Realm, and it was around Chen Tian.
Chen Tian then looked around. Besides Leng Feng and the three of them, there were other onlookers. He couldn't find any divine aura or primordial energy. What was going on? And which deity was that power from? She had already awakened.
Long Xue'er then said, "Oh! Then I'll take Chen Tian's place and fight. I'm also a player with seven Sacred Meteorite fragments, so I can compete with you. What do you say, Chen Tian?"
Long Xue'er also took out her flower bracelet, which also had seven-colored petals. Chen Tian looked at Leng Feng. Leng Feng had no objections; this was a good opportunity to impress the beautiful woman. Chen Tian did not want to miss it.
Leng Feng then said, "Alright. The winner takes one Sacred Meteorite fragment from the loser, how about that?"
"Deal!"
The surrounding players then turned their attention to this side. Some recognized Leng Feng as a professional player. Long Xue'er, with her beautiful appearance, naturally attracted attention. At the same time, Long Xue'er and Leng Feng raised their flower bracelets with their other hands and began to rotate the petals.
Instantly, amidst the spinning flowers, the flowers slowly disappeared. Then, a keyboard and a control panel appeared before everyone in the bracelet. On the screen, the characters of both sides were enveloped in seven-colored petals. The duel between Long Xue'er and Leng Feng began.
Long Xue'er's character was a female character. Her chest armor had a golden flower imprint, and on her shoulders were blue flowers. Her leg armor was red, and purple wings formed from flowers appeared on her back. In her hand was a graceful seven-colored long sword. Chen Tian also looked at her ID, which read: Long Xue Ao Tian!
The character's appearance was no different from the person herself. Leng Feng's character was called: Leng Feng Han Yao.
He wielded a seven-colored spear as his weapon. Purple thorns grew from his shoulder armor. Red flame patterns were etched on his chest armor. Countless mechanical turbines were embedded on his back armor. His leg armor was only on his left leg, a red leg guard wrapped with a curved blade.
Long Xue'er and Leng Feng both placed their hands on the control panel. Instantly, a keyboard appeared on the control panel, a seven-colored virtual keyboard. Next to the keyboard were seven-colored joysticks.
This was the control method for Star Mark Sacred Meteor. The game Star Mark Sacred Meteor, upon its release, swept across all national gaming platforms. Star Mark Sacred Meteor had no HP, no attribute values, and no player count. The characters' abilities depended on Sacred Meteorite fragments. A player could equip multiple Sacred Meteorites, with a maximum of ten. Professional players' accounts had eight.
Player versus player combat in this game was about snatching the opponent's Sacred Meteorite fragments. Once a Sacred Meteorite fragment was lost, it could not be recovered. Sacred Meteorite fragments were the core gameplay of this game. Players without fragments were like mortals.
In the world of Star Mark Sacred Meteor, all players shared a common world, but this world was incredibly vast. Sacred Meteorite fragments could be obtained by defeating bosses or monsters, solving puzzles, or completing quests, among other methods.
For players to become powerful, they had to continuously search for Sacred Meteorite fragments, as fragments of higher quality possessed greater power and had better effects in combat.
Professional competitions in Star Mark Sacred Meteor revolved around the snatching of Sacred Meteorite fragments. Two teams would simultaneously compete for a Sacred Meteorite fragment, and the team that obtained the fragment would win. However, another outcome was to wipe out the opposing team members. This was because snatching Sacred Meteorite fragments was difficult, especially since the Sacred Meteorite fragments in competitions switched positions every fifteen seconds; they were not fixed.
Furthermore, no player dared to sneakily take one, as that would be suicide. The game's competition settings stipulated that to obtain a fragment, three out of the six team members had to touch the fragment simultaneously. If a single player tried to sneakily take it, they would be immediately disqualified.
The potential of Star Mark Sacred Meteor was no less than that of Chrono Era, otherwise Chen Tian would not have played it for four years. The directional control in Star Mark Sacred Meteor was via the joystick, and the Sacred Meteorite skills were on the keyboard. To unleash a Sacred Meteorite skill, one had to combine keyboard inputs. Sometimes it required pressing four keys consecutively, sometimes three, or even six keys, and the order must not be wrong.
However, basic combat actions were available on the keyboard. Individual keys corresponded to different actions, so players could also engage in normal combat.
Leng Feng said, "Beautiful, which map do you want to choose? You pick first, I won't bully you!"
Long Xue'er replied, "Alright, then Sword Valley it is!"
Then Long Xue'er began to press keys on the keyboard. Instantly, the screen changed to a map filled with swords. In the center of the swords, a platform slowly appeared.
Swords surrounded the entire arena. Leng Feng paid no mind. Since she chose this map, she must have Sacred Meteorite skills, but Leng Feng was unconcerned.
