After watching Old Bai, Zhou Hu and the others turned their attention to Ji Wuhui on the other side.
From their previous brief conversation, they had sensed that although Old Bai and Ji Wuhui seemed to be of equal status, careful observation revealed that Old Bai actually deferred to Ji Wuhui.
When they shifted their focus to Ji Wuhui, they found that he had just entered the arena mode of the Tower of Trials.
To be honest, they were a bit puzzled. Why did it take him so long to enter? It showed that Ji Wuhui had a harder time deciding than Old Bai!
Next came the battle in Mirror Mode.
Seeing Ji Wuhui suddenly appear in the sky above a vast ocean, Zhou Hu and the others were initially indifferent. Some even checked to see if their instant noodles were ready...
In the battle arena mode, if you do not actively choose, the map that appears is random. This was common knowledge among the players.
But as they continued to watch, they were shocked.
All five of them widened their eyes in disbelief.
What was that?
Did he summon a thousand-meter-tall phantom right at the start?!
When did battles between cultivators become like this?
No, the focus wasn't there!
Such a huge phantom was shocking, with cracks appearing in the surrounding space.
This meant that this person was at least a super master in the realm of Dao Inquiry!
Zhou Hu and the others turned their gaze from the display to Ji Wuhui.
This man was a hidden boss!
Then, the five silently left their spot and returned to where they had left their instant noodles.
They picked up their instant noodles and ate in silence.
For some reason, the instant noodles didn't taste as good as before...
They kept glancing at Old Bai.
Old Bai, who appeared to be an ordinary person, clearly wasn't. After all, the strong don't usually have weak companions...
It turned out that the customers in the boss's shop were all such powerful cultivators?
Sorry, we underestimated everyone!
After finishing their instant noodles, the five silently put on their helmets and entered the virtual world.
The Origin Mall returned to calm...
Luochuan yawned.
By now, the sun had gradually moved westward, indicating that it was afternoon.
He had just had a dream.
In his dream, he was still an ordinary college student on Blue Star, leading an ordinary life.
Plain, yet substantial.
Luochuan looked back at Origin Mall.
Inside, Yao Ziyan was resting her chin on her hand, lost in thought.
There was a serene look on her beautiful face, like a lovely painting.
A faint smile appeared on Luochuan's lips.
It seemed life was better now...
"Good afternoon, boss!"
"Good afternoon, boss!"
...
The greetings brought Luochuan back from his thoughts.
Murong Haitang brought the other eight students over.
Luochuan nodded.
They were used to this reaction from Luochuan.
Then, they walked into the Origin Mall.
"It seems a bit unfortunate, there seems to be no place in the store," Murong Haitang sighed, looking at Zhou Hu and others wearing helmets.
"They arrived at noon; it's been almost three hours now," said Yao Ziyan from behind the counter.
"Then we will wait for a while," Murong Haitang smiled.
This time could be used for instant noodles.
