MMORPG: Martial Gamer

Chapter 1661 1661: Amazing Talent?

"????"

Sanguine Thousand Miles finally understood, while the members of the Quan Zhen Sect were still in a daze.

After playing games for so long, everyone's usual method of targeting someone was to stab them in the back or secretly sabotage them; they had never seen anyone shout out before taking action.

In the eyes of the Quan Zhen Sect, Sanguine Thousand Miles' meaningless provocation was akin to a child throwing poop at someone—extremely childish. They thought this guy was making a big deal out of it, expecting some significant move, but in the end, he just left. Was he just trying to annoy them?

"What the hell is this all about!"

Ming Du, who had almost been stabbed to death moments ago, cursed angrily, "What does Sanguine Warflag even mean?"

"It's probably not about Sanguine Warflag", Fearless shook his head and said, "The Sanguine Warflag has gone missing. I suspect it might have been exiled to Saga City."

"Exiled?" Wang Yu was puzzled, "Isn't Sanguine Warflag the leader of the Sanguine Alliance? Who would dare to exile him?"

"He is the leader, but not the boss! The boss decides who the leader is", Fearless patiently explained.

After all, for the veteran experts of Quan Zhen Sect, the unspoken rules of large guilds in online games were quite similar; the Sanguine Alliance naturally had its behind-the-scenes boss.

"So what's the point of being a leader then?" Wang Yu couldn't help but sneer.

"Yeah", Fearless said with a lot of resentment, "I'm still the leader of Quan Zhen Sect, you all should respect me! Otherwise, what's the point of me being the leader?"

"If you shout 'grandpa,' we'll respect you!" the members of Quan Zhen all raised their middle fingers at Fearless.

Everyone was joking and laughing, but only Ming Du looked displeased and said, "Are we just going to let this go?"

Earlier, no one had suffered any losses, but Ming Du had almost been killed, and being the vengeful type he was, he definitely wouldn't let this slide.

"What do you want to do?" Fearless countered.

"Of course, I want to kill them a hundred times!" Ming Du said boldly.

"A hundred times?"

Wang Yu frowned as he said, "I think this group of guys is a bit eerie! It's not so easy to kill them."

In fact, it wasn't just Wang Yu; any ordinary person could see that Sanguine Thousand Miles and his group were extraordinary, let alone Wang Yu and his band of martial arts experts.

Wang Yu, a prodigy who had mastered martial arts at a young age and reached the pinnacle of martial arts in twenty years, had a sharp eye. However, despite his years of experience and having seen countless experts in the community, he had encountered fewer than ten people with the outstanding reflexes of Sanguine Thousand Miles' group.

What puzzled Wang Yu even more was that these guys showed no signs of any martial arts foundation, clearly indicating that they had a natural talent for it.

This was quite alarming.

Although Wang Yu was confident that his reflexes were not inferior to theirs, his abilities were the result of over twenty years of hard work and study. The fact that these individuals had such fierce reflexes without any martial arts training suggested that their natural talent was even greater than his.

Wang Yu was already considered a once-in-a-century genius in the martial arts world; if these individuals had talents surpassing his, the extent of their capabilities could be imagined.

Moreover, so many of them had appeared at once—was there really such a large number of gifted individuals in the secular world?

Wang Yu, now a master, had transcended worldly concerns, but even so, after being a genius for so many years, suddenly seeing two people with even greater talent left him feeling somewhat disappointed.

"Eerie?"

Upon hearing Wang Yu's comment, the others were slightly surprised.

It wasn't because they thought Sanguine Thousand Miles was eerie; anyone with a discerning eye could tell something was off with this group. The surprise came from the fact that even Wang Yu thought they were eerie, as most people regarded Wang Yu as the most extraordinary one. For him to say someone else was eerie indicated just how unusual the others were.

"How do they compare to you?" Fearless asked Wang Yu in astonishment.

"In certain aspects, their talent is much stronger than mine!" Wang Yu, being honest, shared his insights with everyone.

"Oh come on, Old Bull, you must be exaggerating!"

Hearing Wang Yu say this, Yang Nuo's face turned pale. The others might not know, but to Yang Nuo, Wang Yu was almost a god-like figure. After all, Wang Yu was recognized as the foremost genius in their circle; hearing that someone might be more talented than him left her in disbelief.

"I'm not exaggerating…" Wang Yu said lightly, "Everyone saw the assassin's skills earlier; if it weren't for the tavern owner, Ming Du would have been dead by now."

"Stop it, stop it!"

Ming Du waved his hands repeatedly; after Wang Yu scared him like that, he felt the lingering fear.

Speaking of the tavern owner, Wang Yu suddenly raised his head and asked curiously, "Are you an intelligent AI?"

"Ha ha!" The tavern owner laughed at Wang Yu's question, "You figured it out."

"You've been so obvious about it, how could we not notice!" Wang Yu replied, feeling speechless.

Indeed, the tavern owner's actions were definitely not something a non-intelligent NPC could perform.

"So you're an intelligent NPC", Vainglory said in surprise upon hearing the tavern owner's words. "Then why didn't you step in during the commotion in the tavern earlier?"

"Customers are like gods; the battle of the gods is not something mere mortals can interfere with", the tavern owner said with a smile.

"Hmm…" Everyone fell silent, realizing that the tavern owner was quite the smooth talker. Vainglory then curiously asked, "What if that guy doesn't pay?"

"Hehe!" The tavern owner smiled lightly and said, "Have you heard of Ragnarok?"

The tavern owner's smile remained innocent, but it sent a chill down the spines of the Quan Zhen members, who sincerely gave him a thumbs up and exclaimed, "Amazing, amazing, what a society!"

...

While the members of Quan Zhen were teasing the tavern owner, the contemplative Fearless suddenly interrupted, "Old Bull, you just said that the people over there have no martial arts foundation?"

"Correct!" Wang Yu affirmed, "If I could be fooled by them, they definitely aren't people you can mess with."

"So what are the chances of someone having reflexes on their level without any training?" Fearless asked again.

"I'm not sure; talent is unpredictable", Wang Yu didn't dare to make a definitive claim. The world is vast and full of wonders; what if they really were exceptional geniuses?

"How many people like you with extraordinary talent are there?" Fearless pondered for a moment before continuing to ask.

"They say it's a once-in-a-century occurrence." After seeing Sanguine Thousand Miles and his group, Wang Yu felt a bit uneasy.

"So, are you saying that two geniuses rarer than once-in-a-century have appeared at once?" Fearless asked suspiciously, "Why do I feel like something is off about this?"
