Sharpening The Knife Doesn't Delay The Cutting of Vegetables With The Bow

Sharpening The Knife Doesn’t Delay The Cutting of Vegetables With The Bow[eSports]: Chapter 108

108. Become a god in a single battle.

As the final circle tightened, the number of players on the field rapidly dwindled. With the shrinking zone, long-range weapons became ineffective, forcing everyone to switch to melee weapons and engage in close-quarters combat in the increasingly confined space.

At this point, the most advantageous weapons were long spears, broadswords, and whips, which could deal wide-area damage. Weapons like daggers, nunchaku, and short swords, with their shorter reach and narrower attack range, were less effective in such cramped conditions.

Chen Xingran, who had looted a gold-quality broadsword from the Baimu team earlier, now wielded it like a terrifying weapon in the midst of the chaotic melee.

Ghost God Descends!

ZMD had held their position on the high ground for a long time, conserving their ultimate abilities. As the only team with a full squad remaining, now was their time to enter and clean up!

Chen Xingran activated his ultimate ability, using the gold broadsword’s immense damage, combined with his fully stacked attack Soul Jades. With a single horizontal slash, he effortlessly cut down a swath of enemies. Moving with his sword, he dealt massive amounts of damage in the narrow terrain, where there was little room for enemies to dodge. In no time, he carved out a clearing in the middle of the battlefield.

At the same time, Yang Yunche’s Water Prison descended, trapping enemies within it. He had jumped directly into the poison zone to activate his ultimate, ensuring that the edges of the Water Prison overlapped with the tiny safe zone, so that every enemy in the safe zone would be touched by the edge of the prison, causing them to be briefly immobilized. However, after activating his ultimate, his health rapidly drained due to the poison, and he became the first player on ZMD to fall, as other players quickly finished him off.

But Yang Yunche had done his job. He completed his task, and now it was up to Chen Xingran and the rest of the team to carry on.

Yang Yunche’s Water Prison became the most terrifying crowd-control ability on the battlefield, immobilizing at least five or six enemies. Chen Xingran, using his continually refreshing Ghost Blade Slash, dashed through them. Each time he passed, he inflicted stacking bleed damage. After three passes, most of the enemies in the safe zone were suffering from heavy bleed effects, their health dropping rapidly as if a floodgate had been opened.

Desperate, the tanks and supports of the other teams had no choice but to activate their own ultimates to survive. Suddenly, the battlefield was filled with transformed heroes—dragons, giant Buddhas, and werewolves, turning it into a chaotic scene straight out of mythology.

Echo: “Chen Xingran’s damage output is terrifying! The players are being forced to use their ultimates just to survive. Even though ZMD has lost one player, their advantage is still massive. Can they secure the win?”

He Ye: “Will ZMD’s tank, Xiao Nan, use his ultimate? He’s holding it! Is he waiting for the right moment?”

On the battlefield, giant mythical figures clashed in fierce combat. With only a few seconds left on his Ghost God Descends, Chen Xingran leaped into the air, sacrificing all defense, and used every ounce of strength to slash open deep wounds on the transformed heroes.

He resembled a fearless dragon-slayer from ancient myths, his half-puppet body engulfed in ghostfire, appearing so small before the mighty dragons and giant Buddhas, yet exuding an overwhelming sense of dread and power!

Blood sprayed everywhere, raining down and covering the last patch of land on Wanyuan Island in a sea of crimson. Even the ground was soaked, and blood-red blooms of frenzy blossomed on the dead trees scattered across the wasteland, both cruel and strikingly beautiful.

Chen Xingran’s relentless assault caused the fully healed transformed dragons and Buddhas to lose massive amounts of health, instantly knocking out two of the transformed heroes. However, he also became the focus of a concentrated attack. In mid-air, Chen Xingran became an easy target, and just as he landed, several swords and blades struck him. After holding on for a moment, he finally collapsed, turning into a tombstone on the ground.

Luo Baibai and Xiao Nan still hadn’t used their ultimates!

At this moment, all the spectators held their breath, eyes glued to the battlefield, where only four teams remained.

Finally, the poison circle had completely closed in. The entirety of Wanyuan Island was now shrouded in a purple toxic mist, and no one had a safe spot left to stand. Everyone was forced to endure the poison with their own bodies.

Whoever could survive the longest would become the final champion, the person destined by fate!

Who would it be?

The answer soon revealed itself.

Just before the safe zone disappeared, Xiao Nan and Luo Baibai preemptively left the most crowded area. While the other teams were still fighting fiercely for the last safe ground, they began to endure the poison earlier. Their health slowly drained, quickly reaching a critical level.

Formless Body!

When Xiao Nan’s health dropped to one-third, Luo Baibai activated his ultimate, using a skill to heal Xiao Nan slightly. With his mission complete, Luo Baibai became the third member of ZMD to fall.

Xiao Nan’s health was restored to 50%, and under the massive damage reduction of Body of No-Form, he endured for a few more seconds before his health began to plummet again—

40%… 30%… 15%… 5%…

Finally, at the very last moment, with only a sliver of health left, Xiao Nan activated his long-held ultimate.

Dragon Soul True Form!!

“Roar—”

A thunderous dragon roar echoed through the sky. Xiao Nan transformed into a streak of golden light, soaring straight into the heavens. In the clouds above, a colossal divine dragon unfurled its body, snaking through the sky like a painting of divine majesty.

That dragon roar echoed, and the battle was already decided.

The other teams had been forced to use their ultimates earlier by Chen Xingran, and after Chen Xingran’s relentless damage and the chaotic fighting between them, their health was already critically low. Combined with the poison damage, they quickly began to fall one by one.

At this moment, Xiao Nan, now in Dragon Soul True Form with full health, flew into the sky as the final triumphant signal. Earlier, Chen Xingran had given him a gold armor, and the health and armor stats of Dragon Soul True Form were linked to the armor’s quality. Clad in gold armor, Xiao Nan’s health bar after activating his ultimate was so thick it was despairing!

Even though his health in Dragon Soul True Form dropped rapidly under the poison’s influence, he could still hold out longer than anyone else!

Two seconds later, the health of the other teams was completely eroded by the poison, and they fell to the ground one after another. The dragon ridge plains, now filled with countless soul tombs, resembled a vast graveyard, majestic and awe-inspiring, silently telling the story of the fierce battle that had taken place here.

Amidst the sea of tombstones, a giant divine dragon with two-thirds of its health remaining moved like a mountain through the clouds. With another thunderous roar, its body froze in time.

Victory goes to the last standing, the one chosen by destiny!

Echo: “Let’s congratulate ZMD for winning this match!”

He Ye: “Congratulations to ZMD! They are the chosen ones of this game!”

At the competition venue, the enormous Starry Sky Esports Arena erupted with thunderous cheers and applause. The shouts from countless spectators crisscrossed, nearly shaking the roof off. Even those watching the live stream from their screens jumped out of their chairs—some cheered and clapped, some were so excited they ran laps downstairs, while others cursed angrily because their favorite team lost. The scene was as lively as fireworks on New Year’s Eve.

ZMD, in this match, perfectly showcased the flair of a top-tier team. Chen Xingran’s terrifying individual strength, Yang Yunche’s tactical genius, and the impeccable coordination of all team members during the final circle—all proved their dominance and won the hearts of countless viewers!

【ZMD, fuckin’ awesome!!】

【Yun God, amazing! Ran Bao, amazing! Baibai, amazing! Xiao Ge, amazing!!】

【I will always love ZMD! Ahhhh!】

【They went on a rampage! ZMD raked in massive points!!】

【Victors of destiny! The champions reign supreme!】

Watching the match weren’t just regular viewers but also members of various professional teams, all sitting in their own bases, witnessing ZMD’s performance—practically a personal showcase.

Man Tian Xing, VG, Qiushui, AUG, Ice Leopard, Brif…

These powerhouse teams, watching from their bases, saw ZMD secure victory, and their players exchanged glances, each catching a trace of bitterness in the others’ eyes.

An incredibly tricky opponent…

With the addition of Chen Xingran, saying ZMD was “like a tiger with wings” would be an understatement—it was more like they were soaring into the sky. The team’s overall strength had improved by leaps and bounds compared to last season.

If last season they could still find openings in You Hongwei’s gameplay, now that their opponent was Chen Xingran, ZMD had become an impenetrable fortress. Anyone trying to challenge them would have to worry about getting injured in the process.

Damn, how did ZMD get so lucky…

As they watched Chen Xingran step out of the cockpit during the intermission, the players could only shake their heads in envy and resignation.

The broadcast director’s camera unflinchingly zoomed in on Chen Xingran, giving him a close-up.

The young man, clad in a blue-and-white uniform, emerged from the cockpit like a mech pilot returning from battle. His refined, striking features, and his beautiful amber eyes were in stark contrast to the murderous intent he displayed in the game. In real life, Chen Xingran looked soft and obedient, with a hint of gentleness, making it hard to reconcile him with the battlefield demon. But this contrast only made him more impressive and unforgettable.

The director’s savvy camera work drew countless eyes to Chen Xingran, and the livestream chat instantly exploded with a flood of messages. Face dogs went into a frenzy, while technical fans showered him with praise. The barrage of comments flew by at a rate of thousands per second, pushing the match’s viewership and engagement to new heights!

In this era, an esports player with immense skill naturally earns everyone’s respect. But when that player also happens to have a strikingly attractive face, the impact is far more than just one plus one.

As Chen Xingran stepped out of the cockpit and reunited with his teammates, other players from the match also emerged from their pods, casting glances full of admiration and awe at the boy under the spotlight. Though there wasn’t much room for interaction between players of different teams, they couldn’t resist stealing another glance at Chen Xingran as they passed by.

Especially those who had previously gone up against Chen Xingran—the Baimu team, who were defeated despite Chen Xingran’s 1v4 counter-kill, the WET team, who had the early advantage but were reversed, as well as Meng You, Vent, and KSs…

These players, who had crossed paths with Chen Xingran and recognized him during the match, discreetly gave him a thumbs-up as they passed by.

Fuckin’ wesome.

After the first match ended and during the intermission, the largest holographic screen in the Starry Sky Arena began playing the highlight reels. Many of them featured solo shots of Chen Xingran, with the most captivating moment—earning another wave of applause and cheers from the audience—being his stunning 1v4 against the Baimu team. His impeccable use of gun kata combined with seamless weapon-switching left a deep impression.

The camera once again zoomed in on Chen Xingran. He was sitting with his teammates, drinking water and chatting with Yang Yunche, looking relaxed and laughing. Luo Baibai nudged him with an elbow, and Chen Xingran, startled for a moment, looked up at the big screen to see his own face.

He hesitated briefly, then smiled at the screen.

Instantly, the cheers rose to a crescendo.

“Chen Xingran! Chen Xingran!”

“Chen Xingran! Chen Xingran! Chen Xingran!”

His name echoed through the voices of countless people. Even the commentators’ post-match analysis was drowned out. The massive Starry Sky Arena felt as if it were about to explode, a chaotic yet organized chant reverberating like the gathering of a galaxy—a brilliant morning star slowly rising.

Chen Xingran became a god in one battle.
