Juan Canyun did not close his eyes, nor did he panic. His panic only occurred when he was communicating with strangers and interacting with the audience while standing on the stage.
Anything related to fighting was not on his list of panic and fear.
The moment the Black Ash Knight swung his sword, Juan Canyun knew that it was just a holographic projection and could not hurt him.
But the body's instinct still allowed Juan Canyun to perform a perfect backward jump. After completing this jump, Juan Canyun himself was stunned.
He had never tried to do the moves in real life that could only be done in games. Dispute was definitely not an option for him, but after his body was strengthened by the Holy Spirit, it seemed... he could.
But so what
Even if Juan Canyun fought against the Black Cinder Knight in a one-on-one duel in the Holy Spirit, he would be completely defeated, not to mention in reality.
After the Black Ash Knight's sword missed, he gave Juan Canyun almost no time to react. He suddenly exerted force on his feet and rushed towards Juan Canyun like a bullet, and the pitch-black sword stabbed straight at Juan Canyun.
If you want to avoid here, you must use the Xingyun Jue!
When Juan Canyun saw the great sword stabbing at him, his instinctive reaction was to use the Cloud-Climbing Technique: Shadow to dodge the attack.
But he kept repeating the instructions of Xingyun Jue in his mind, but the picture did not move farther away as he expected.
At this moment, Juan Canyun realized how weak he was in reality, but the moment this thought emerged.
A sound like breaking glass rang in his ears. When Juan Canyun blinked again, the figure standing in front of him was no longer the Black Cinder Knight, but the back of a man in a monk's robe.
"It's just a playoff championship! How long are you going to celebrate?"
There was nothing wrong with this sentence to Juan Canyun, the key point was that the entire venue could hear this sentence very clearly!
Although the Black Ash Knight had intervened early, strictly speaking, this was still the award ceremony for the Leaping Atom.
The key point is that most of the people sitting in the audience are fans of both Nuke and Coke Mania. This sentence is equivalent to offending all fans of both groups at once!
Coke-crazy fans sound like they are belittling and mocking the Coke-crazy players for being so bad that they can't even win a playoff championship.
It sounds like the fans of Leaping Atomic are saying that the playoff finals championship is just a rubbish little trophy and that Leaping Atomic's efforts are not worth mentioning at all.
The fans who were originally worried about the medieval knight who appeared on the stage instantly became furious after hearing this sentence.
"Damn! Who is that? Saying something so wicked? Does he have the right to say that?"
The fan next to Jiang Qiao, Gao Shu, was one of the fans who was furious. Other viewers also kept repeating, "So you are brave? How can a little brother like you have the qualifications to say 'It's just the playoffs champion'!"
But when Zigu Gaoshu saw clearly the figure standing in front of Juan Canyun, she realized... the person shouting was really qualified!
"Who is that character dressed like a monk? Cosplay? Why do I see a game ID above his head?"
"Happy Game, that's Xiao Ye's game character in the Holy Spirit!"
"Master Xiao? Master Xiao is on the podium?"
"Is that really Master Xiao?"
For a moment, the entire viewing area fell into chaos again. Zhao Mingwei didn't care what the audience thought, because the Black Cinder Knight had already set his sights on him at this moment.
If the members of Leaping Atom don't arrive quickly, this crusade against the Black Ash Knights might end in total annihilation.
Mo Shigui and Juan Canyun, who were holding the trophy next to them, instinctively wanted to rush to Zhao Mingwei with a large shield and serve as the tank.
But now he only has a trophy in his hand without any black iron shield, and he is wearing a decent suit instead of any black dragon heavy armor.
"coach?"
The other members of Leaping Atomic realized that they could no longer get entangled in the controversial award ceremony.
"Get off the stage and run!"
Mo Shigui no longer hesitated. The prolonged award ceremony had been completely disrupted by the intrusion of the Black Cinder Knight.
So, under the puzzled gaze of the audience on the stage, all the members of Leaping Nuclear collectively turned over and jumped off the stage and ran quickly towards the contestants' lounge.
The only ones left on the stage were Black Cinder Knight and Zhao Mingwei facing off. Zhao Mingwei alone was definitely no match for Black Cinder Knight. This was a data... or rather, a crushing defeat in terms of strength level, a gap that could not be made up by technology.
When the Black Ash Knight rushed towards Zhao Mingwei again, this time the sound of gunfire echoed throughout the entire hall, enough to make all the spectators panic.
Four gunshots rang out in the corner of the guild hall, and all the bullets hit the Black Cinder Knight, forcing him to take two steps back.
If Zhao Mingwei's mental lion roar could still be understood by the audience as a sound effect in the game, then the extremely realistic sound of gunfire was enough to make the already somewhat panicked audience realize that some kind of attack might have occurred in the hall!
"Xiao Wan? Xiao Wan, where are you?" The student who had hung herself on the computer turned around and found that her sister was gone. The audience around her also panicked and wanted to get up and flee the hall.
Jiang Qiao’s head was about to explode!
Stupid sponsors!
Now Jiang Qiao just wanted to curse this... When Jiang Qiao used Tiangong-13 to contact the official organizer of this event, the result was that the venue should have been handed over to the Holy Spirit twenty minutes ago.
But the sponsors in dispute felt that the popularity of Leaping Nuclear's championship was too high and they had to take advantage of it, otherwise they would be at a great loss.
This was done without informing Jiang Qiao, or rather, they did not need to inform Jiang Qiao, because the Holy Spirit was just an "artificial intelligence".
Jiang Qiao was still thinking that the Black Cinder Knights and the Spell Thieves should still be waiting at the door, but when Hai Lan started with "Something big has happened!", Jiang Qiao realized that the situation was going to go in a bad direction.
The Black Embers Knight has the ability to tear apart time and space! The passage leading to the Upper City Stadium was originally closed, but he tore the passage apart and broke in alone.
This caused panic to spread in the guild hall. If Jiang Qiao failed to handle it well, the reputation of "Holy Spirit" might be negatively affected.
But fortunately, Jiang Qiao had a backup plan.
"Please don't panic, viewers. The Dispute playoff award ceremony has ended successfully. What you are watching now is the Holy Spirit Online Exhibition Match. The content of the performance is the Black Embers Knight Crusade, a demonstration of a game dungeon strategy in Holy Spirit."
At the reminder of Mr. Yin, the host of the guild hall quickly read out the script that had been prepared long ago, but the audience present were all here to watch the finals of the dispute. Although they were very interested in the game of Holy Spirit, it was just a copy crusade after all.
In addition, the character projected by the Holy Spirit was too real, causing many viewers to panic. Jiang Qiao watched as most of the audience around him stood up and prepared to leave the hall.
The popularity of the global live broadcast room also dropped rapidly from 17 million to around 9 million, but this was not important to Jiang Qiao.
What Jiang Qiao wants is for the players who are going to defeat the Black Ash Knight to arrive quickly.
But Mr. Yin attaches great importance to the audience and popularity, so he asked the host to read out another list again... a list of invitees for the Holy Spirit Online Exhibition Match.
"The players you see now are Juan Canyun, Hei Guo Zhurou, Ion Spark, and White Plasma from the Leaping Nuclear Club, as well as Caramel, Sui Le, and Caffeine from the Coke Mania! And Feng Shui Hui Zhuan and Qi Junzi from the King of the World..."
As Jiang Qiao listened to the host reading out these... legendary IDs one by one, a strange situation occurred in the audience seats around him.
That is, every time the host read out a contestant's ID, a group of audience members who had originally stood up would sit down again. Until the host finished reading out all the IDs at a very fast speed, the audience seats next to Jiang Qiao were once again full.
