Chapter 65: The Casino Match On my way up to the ring, I glanced at the betting board. Less than ten percent had backed me, while ninety percent were on Gao Haipeng. The odds were just as wildly lopsided. After all, Gao Haipeng had beaten Shi Youcheng, a rank-eight fighter from the Ziyun Sect, in their last clash. Besides, to everyone else, my jump from guard to rank-eight Grandmaster looked suspiciously fast. In the tournament, I'd only beaten a rank-seven before it was called off. Sure, the…-

Chapter 64: A Challenge Match in Ghostdark City Liu Tanzhuang laughed. "I knew you couldn't sit still for long. Trouble always finds you. All right—Ghostdark City it is. It's beneath the Heavenly Palace, about a hundred li to the east. The Jianghai Gang isn't too far from there either. It's a famous gambling city, built underground. "This world has three layers: Heavenly Palaces, Mountains and Waters, and Underground Palaces. The Heavenly Palaces are not limited to our Ziyun Palace—there are…

Chapter 63: Outsmarting the Mind Arts I hadn't yet gone looking for Du Xiaoran when his virtual-world avatar, Liu Tanzhuang, came looking for me instead. He said Young Miss Yuan had sent him to invite me over for a chat. Then he winked at me, with obvious mischief in his eyes. I'd only just become a rank-eight Grandmaster, and it would have been awkward to refuse Young Miss Yuan's goodwill—especially since Liu Tanzhuang mentioned she was the Sect Master's own daughter. So I had no choice but to…

Chapter 62: Promoted to Rank-Eight Grandmaster I looked at Liu Tanzhuang sharply. This man knew far too much. That wasn't information some minor errand boy ought to have. Something was off. And why had he seemed to seek me out on purpose from the start? I stared at him, startled. "Do we know each other?" "Do we?" Liu Tanzhuang said. "Who are you, in the real world?" "My name is Du Xiaoran," I said. "You know it, don't you?" He smiled suddenly. "You really are something. How did you figure…

Chapter 61: Advancing Again and Again I stood in the arena, smiling back at him just the same. Cupping my hands, I said, "My apologies, Senior Brother Huang. Seems I'm holding up your promotion. Tell you what—invisibility against invisibility. Let's fight an invisible match. Wouldn't that be fun?" The Jianghai Gang's contestant, surnamed Huang, looked a little surprised that I could still smile at a moment like this. "Afraid I'll crack your invisibility technique, are you?" he said. "Relax, I'm not…

Chapter 60: My First Match After parting from the servant boy, I headed to the sect to report in. I had only just entered the virtual world and was still unfamiliar with it, so I'd been careful at every turn and shielded the consciousness in my head — which meant, of course, that I couldn't receive the memories left behind by the original host. Lucky for me, I'd run into this servant boy, Liu Tanzhuang, or I'd have understood nothing at all. Once I took in the original host's memories, I settled…

Chapter 59: Wherever You Go, There Is Jianghu Hearing the servant boy call out to me as "you there," I knew at once that my standing here could not be very high. I glanced down at myself. Sure enough — a plain blue-green Hanfu, cut short in the workman's style, not unlike the dress of the Song dynasty. I went over to the servant boy. He was struggling under a large flowerpot, so I helped him lift it, and as we carried it together I asked, "What's your name? And who's the young lady?" He…

Chapter 58: Entering the Virtual World Pu Liuqian and the pursuers were gone, and quiet settled back over everything. The work of cracking and making use of the stolen quantum weapon materials, however, had only just begun. Engineer Lin and the base technicians were all deep in various experiments. I used the downtime to send Du Xiaoran an alt-account message, asking how things were on his end and whether the equipment was safe. He said the moment I was exposed was the moment he was safest—the…

Chapter 57: Pu Liuqian's Mind Arts The pursuers were relentless. The patrol members were already right on top of me. Just as I was weighing whether to abandon the parasitic host, a voice suddenly spoke inside the host's brain. "Pull out. I'll take over." Who was that? I glanced around. Every force chasing me was closing in, hemming me in from all sides. There was no way I could escape on my own. Since I was going to abandon the host anyway, I thought, I might as well hand it over. So I cut…

Chapter 56: The Theft Succeeds Around nine in the morning, Du Xiaoran's pigeon landed on the roof. He carried himself with the same easy confidence as before. When he saw that I had also come in pigeon form, he said, "Why are you in a pigeon body? How are you supposed to operate my equipment? Is your technician not here yet?" "You came in a pigeon body too," I pointed out. "Why didn't you bring the equipment yourself?" "I keep my word," Du Xiaoran said. "When I say I'll do something, it's done.…
