《World of Experts 》Chapter 188: A Despicable Move
Advertisement
In the arena, Fluttering Bamboo and that man made moves.
In a battle between strategists, the outcome was basically determined by a single move. No matter how powerful you were, as long as your profession was a strategist, when confronting enemies, even a slight carelessness couldn’t be tolerated and you must not make even a bit of mistake. It, however, was not a battle of fighters or knights.
In terms of technical ability, it was obvious that Fluttering Bamboo was much better. She steadily and firmly suppressed that man. Fluttering Butterfly had already spread the Flame Arrow’s dispersed energy on the arena. If there was no accident, then Fluttering Bamboo would win the match shortly.
Shi Hao and Feng Tianhao also had keen eyes. In addition, they had heard the explanation of Soaring Through the Highest Heaven. Therefore, they admired Fluttering Bamboo.
Shi Hao said: “It seems that my Twin Dragons Village will be able to dominate all 5 championships!”
This remark, at least for now, didn’t seem like a boast. Shi Hao, Feng Tianhao, Soaring Through the Highest Heaven, Passionate Archer and this Fluttering Bamboo, they indeed had the capital to seize all 5 championships.
Feng Tianhao said: “In terms of pure combat talent, although she isn't comparable to A Blade Hundred Thousand, her energy control has already reached the acme of perfection. In this aspect, she far outclasses A Blade Hundred Thousand. She is absolutely a peak genius.”
Indeed, if Fluttering Bamboo fought against A Blade Hundred Thousand with saber, spear, sword or halberd, she would lose beyond doubt. Moreover, she wouldn’t even know how she died. However, it was fortunate that Fluttering Bamboo knew her own strong points. She understood that her keen sense would definitely help her become a very remarkable combat-type strategist.
In fact, she was also truly right. If A Blade Hundred Thousand was not a knight, but a strategist, then bluntly speaking, A Blade Hundred Thousand was not her opponent.
Even if the knight A Blade Hundred Thousand and the strategist Fluttering Bamboo fought, although A Blade Hundred Thousand had higher odds of winning, Fluttering Bamboo also had roughly 20% chance of winning.

However, such Fluttering Bamboo! She, however, suddenly performed oddly in front of the fellow whose name was not worth mentioning.
“What happened! This is impossible.” He Xiang was dumbfounded.
The legs of Fluttering Bamboo, who was originally completely suppressing that man, actually went soft and her expression became abnormal. Even the Energy Arrows she was shooting continuously missed the target, basically becoming useless, and were unable to restrict the other party’s movement.
Such a chance, how could that man miss? He finished condensing an energy ball. If there was no accident, even if the Energy Arrow he released didn’t have the passive buff of Energy Mastery, as long as the arrow didn’t miss, he would definitely win against Fluttering Bamboo who had no Energy Shield.
Could Fluttering Bamboo whose legs had gone soft dodge it? It was basically impossible.
He Xiang was so anxious that he wanted to shout to stop the match. However, with Twin Dragons behind him, he didn’t dare to rashly create a disturbance. This was a fair competition. Without a reason, how could he stop the match?
Below the stage, the faces of the men lit up and said: “Hahahaha! A little girl, after all, is a little girl. Looking at her appearance, she is definitely on a heat.”
The women scolded: “Bastards! Stinky hooligans, you all must have played a trick.”
The continuous arguments of everyone alarmed the Twin Dragons.
Shi Hao and Feng Tianhao were also surprised. They had seen many things. At a glance, they could see that something was fishy. They looked at each other and muttered: “She’s drugged!”
The drug they mentioned was not something else, it was a kind of potion that even Twin Dragons Village’s Hospital could produce, named ‘Ecstasy’.
Even ordinary craft-type workers could make Ecstasy as long as they studied in hospital for a period of time, no special skills were required.
However, the raw materials for Ecstasy were very difficult to procure. One needed to find 36 types of poisonous snakes’ venom or other alternative poisonous materials.

Perhaps, because the raw materials requirement of Ecstasy was relatively high, its effect was very good. In addition, Ecstasy could be directly scattered in the air. Its use was very concealed and difficult to be noticed.
Once the opponent inhales this thing, it would gradually produce an ecstatic debuff, which made people lose all combat capability, turning into a lamb to be slaughtered.
Now, needless to say, Fluttering Bamboo had fallen into the trap of Ecstasy.
“What should we do?” Feng Tianhao asked in a low voice, looking a bit anxious. He especially looked down on a man who used such a trick on a woman.
“This…” Shi Hao considered for a moment. His eyes flickered several times and said: “Let’s see how she will respond. It wouldn’t be too late to step forward when she is truly in danger. Now, it’s not the final moment yet.” Shi Hao knew that there was no rule that forbade the use of items, and Ecstasy was a kind of item. Although its use was very despicable, it was definitely not against the rule.
Otherwise, could it be that, as long as the opponent’s equipment or the items were better than yours, using these advantages to win the competition was not counted? Then, Shi Hao would be the first person to lose. Whether it was equipment advantage or using items to launch a sneak attack, they were all counted as a part of the strength.
At least, it was like that in the competition. No one could say anything.
In the arena, the man swaggered to the front of Fluttering Bamboo, and the Energy Arrow was about to leave his hand. The distance between them was very close. Soon, a fragrant woman would turn into a corpse under this arrow. Feng Tianhao was unable to control himself and stood up, wanting to save that Fluttering Bamboo. While at it, he would definitely teach that man a good lesson.
However, how could He Xiang let Blowing Wind Left A Scar personally make a move? If he didn’t stop this kind of matter by himself, then wouldn’t he completely lose his face?
He Xiang yelled: “Quickly…” Before he yelled ‘Stop’, the match was over.
Feng Tianhao also had no time to jump onto the arena. He had just taken half a step to the arena.
No one had expected that the match would end so abruptly. Everyone had thought that there would at least be a chance to stop the match.
Therefore, everyone was surprised and made all sorts of comments.
However, He Xiang suddenly came back to his senses, strode over, walked to Feng Tianhao’s side and yelled: “Winner! Fluttering Bamboo…”
At this moment, Shi Hao smiled, extremely satisfied. He had clearly seen what had happened just now. This gave him complete confidence that Fluttering Bamboo would definitely become a dark horse in the strategist group of West Flower Player Meet. The champion position of the strategist group also looked very promising.
Just now, Fluttering Bamboo was affected by Ecstasy. She was basically unable to see the location of her opponent. Naturally, she was even more incapable of aiming at that fellow.
However, she could aim at herself. That man’s biggest mistake was getting close to Fluttering Bamboo. In fact, after Fluttering Bamboo had ecstatic debuff, half of her state was true and half was her acting.
It was true that she couldn’t see the opponent, but the ecstatic state was fake. She made herself alluring to lure that man to approach her so that she could defeat him by aiming at herself. She was not a loose woman that would be on heat at random.
One had to say that even Shi Hao was fooled. It was only at the end that Shi Hao understood that Fluttering Bamboo’s means were indeed amazing.

8 137Paternum: A Superhero Story
When Quinn finds an experimental superpower-granting costume in their parents’ attic, they didn’t expect to be drawn into a web of superhuman intrigue, but their discovery serves as the catalyst for that conspiracy to slowly unravel. At it’s heart, Paternum is an extended coming-of-age story for the main character as they become a superhero, in a world with more reasonable stakes and less powerful heroes than many superheroic worlds. Themes include what art means to different people, and what it means to be a patron, whether as a sponsor, a parent, or a supporter. I consider Paternum‘s primary influences to be the various versions of Spider-Man, J. C. McCrae’s own superhero story Worm, and Drew Hayes’ story SuperPowereds. I hope that fans of such stories can find something to enjoy in mine as well. Paternum is primarily hosted on my website (thevoidwrites.com) where it updates weekly in groups of scenes totalling approximately 2000 words. Here on Royal Road, it will update once daily with one scene at a time, but only after each act is completed on the home site - the next batch of updates is scheduled to begin on February 5th. There is a discord channel for discussion (discordapp.com/invite/QFMM6yA), and you can vote for Paternum on topwebfiction (topwebfiction.com/vote.php?for=paternum) as well. Finally, you can buy the first book of Paternum, The Swift Uplifting Rush, in a couple different ways - as an ebook through Amazon, or directly from me for a discounted price, or as a physical paperback from Amazon. Buying the book will give you access to Drawing Hands, an exclusive arc that won't ever be published on either my site or Royal Road.
