Sacred Souls: Genesis
Chapter 344 - Chapter 344 Chapter 333 Appearance List (2nd Update)

Chapter 344: Chapter 333: Appearance List (2nd Update) Chapter 344: Chapter 333: Appearance List (2nd Update) Juan Canyun did not close his eyes, nor did he fall into a panic. His nervousness was only evident when interacting with strangers and when standing on stage interacting with the audience.

All matters related to combat were not on his list of fears and anxieties.

The very instant the Black Ash Knight swung his sword down, Juan Canyun knew that it was just a holographic projection and could not harm him.

But his body’s instinct still made him perform a perfect backward jump and roll, after which Juan Canyun himself was stunned.

He had never tried to perform actions in reality that he could only perform in the game; it was utterly impossible, but it seemed possible after his body was enhanced by the Holy Spirit…

But what of it?

Even in the Holy Spirit, Juan Canyun would be completely thrashed in a one-on-one fight with the Black Ash Knight, let alone in reality.

After the Black Ash Knight’s sword missed, he gave Juan Canyun virtually no time to react, suddenly exerting force with his feet, rushing toward Juan Canyun like a bullet from a gun, the pitch-black greatsword thrusting straight at him.

To dodge here, he must use Cloud Formation!

Seeing the greatsword thrusting towards him, Juan Canyun’s instinctive reaction was still to use Cloud Formation*Shadow to dodge the strike.

But as he repeatedly recalled the commands for Cloud Formation in his mind, the scene did not zoom out as he had hoped.

At that moment, Juan Canyun realized how weak he was in reality, but the very instant this thought surfaced…

A sound like shattering glass rang in his ears, and when Juan Canyun opened his eyes again, standing before him was no longer the Black Ash Knight but the figure of someone wearing a monk’s robe from behind.

“It’s just a postseason championship! How long are you going to celebrate?”

This sentence sounded fine to Juan Canyun, but the key thing was that the entire venue could hear it clearly!

Although the Black Ash Knight had made a premature entry, strictly speaking, it was still the award ceremony for Quantum Leap.

The problem was that the majority of the audience were fans of Quantum Leap and Caramel Frenzy, and this sentence was akin to offending all the fans at once!

Caramel Frenzy’s fans felt it was demeaning and mocking their team for being too weak to win even a postseason championship.

Quantum Leap’s fans took it as saying the postseason championship was just a worthless little trophy, completely disregarding the efforts of Quantum Leap.

The fans, who were originally concerned about the medieval knight that had appeared on stage, were instantly enraged by this remark.

“Damn it! Who said such a vile thing? Does he have the right to say that?”

Self-hanging, who was beside Jiang Qiao, was one of the fans who entered into a rage, while other audience members repeated, “So brave to say that, huh? What gives you the right to say ‘It’s just a postseason championship’?”

But when Self-hanging got a clear view of the figure standing in front of Juan Canyun, she realized… the person making the remark did indeed have the right!

“Who’s that character dressed like a monk? Cosplay? Why do I see a game ID over his head?”

“Happy Game, that’s Master Xiao’s character in the Holy Spirit!”

“Master Xiao? Is Master Xiao on the award stage?”

“Is that really Master Xiao?”

In an instant, the entire venue once again descended into chaos. Zhao Mingwei didn’t care what the audience thought, as the Black Ash Knight had set his sights on him in that moment.

If the members of Quantum Leap didn’t swiftly take their positions, this punitive battle against the Black Ash Knight might end in a total wipeout for the team.

Mo Shigui, holding the trophy next to him, had the same instinct as Juan Canyun to lift his greatshield and rush in front of Zhao Mingwei to act as the tank.

But right now, he only had a trophy in his hand, with not a black iron shield in sight, and his attire was a decent suit, not Black Dragon Armor.

“Coach?”

The other members of the Leap Atom team realized that they could no longer linger in the chaotic award ceremony.

“Get off the stage and log in, run for it!”

Mo Shigui no longer hesitated. The prolonged and disrupted award ceremony had been completely thrown into chaos by the intrusion of the Black Ash Knight.

Therefore, under the puzzled gaze of the audience on stage, the entire Leap Atom team collectively flipped off the stage and ran swiftly toward the players’ rest area.

The stage was left with only Black Ash Knight and Zhao Mingwei confronting each other. Just Zhao Mingwei alone was definitely no match for Black Ash Knight. It was a matter of data… or rather, a crushing disparity in power level that technique couldn’t bridge.

When Black Ash Knight charged at Zhao Mingwei again, this time the sound that echoed through the entire auditorium was gunfire loud enough to send all the spectators into panic.

Four gunshots rang out in a corner of the auditorium, with all bullets striking Black Ash Knight, forcing him to stagger back two steps.

If the audience could still interpret Zhao Mingwei’s Telekinesis Energy Lion Roar as an in-game sound effect, then the incredibly realistic sound of gunfire was enough to make the already flustered audience realize that some kind of attack might be taking place inside the venue!

“Xiao Wan? Xiao Wan, where are you?” Self-hanging turned back to find that his younger sister had disappeared, and the spectators beside her were also starting to panic, trying to get up and flee from the venue.

As for Jiang Qiao… his head was about to explode!

Stupid sponsors!

Jiang Qiao’s only thought was to curse them… When Jiang Qiao interfaced with the officials through Tiangong No. 13, the result should have been to hand over the venue to the Holy Spirit twenty minutes ago.

But the sponsors of the dispute thought the heat from Leap Atom’s championship win was too high; they had to ride on it, otherwise, they’d be at a loss.

This ride along had not been communicated to Jiang Qiao, or to put it another way, they didn’t need to inform Jiang Qiao since the official presence of the Holy Spirit was just an ‘artificial intelligence’ after all.

Jiang Qiao was still thinking that Black Ash Knight and Magic Thieves should be waiting at the entrance. Then, with Hai Lan starting off with a ‘big trouble!’, Jiang Qiao realized that things were going to go bad.

Black Ash Knight possessed the ability to tear through space-time! The passage leading to the Upper City Gymnasium was supposed to be closed, but he shredded the pathway and barged in alone.

This caused panic to begin spreading through the auditorium. If Jiang Qiao didn’t handle it well here, it might leave some negative impact on “Holy Spirit’s” reputation.

But fortunately, Jiang Qiao had a contingency plan.

“Dear audience, please do not panic. The post-season award ceremony for the dispute has concluded successfully. What you are currently watching is an online performance match of Holy Spirit. The content of the performance is the Black Ash Knight suppression battle, a demonstration of clearing an instance in Holy Spirit.”

The host of the auditorium quickly read the pre-prepared script, reminded by Director Yin. However, the audience present were there to watch the dispute finals. Although they were very interested in the game “Holy Spirit,” at the end of the day, it was just another instance suppression battle.

Furthermore, the characters projected by Holy Spirit appeared too realistic, which caused a lot of panic among the audience. Jiang Qiao saw that most of the audience around him were standing up, preparing to leave the auditorium.

The global live broadcast’s viewing figures had also dropped rapidly from seventeen million to around nine million. But this was of no importance to Jiang Qiao.

Jiang Qiao needed the players who would suppress Black Ash Knight to quickly take their positions.

However, Director Yin valued the audience and viewership, so he had the host read out another list… a list of invitees for the Holy Spirit online performance match.

“The players you now see entering are Juan Canyun, Black Pot Cooking Meat, Ion Spark, White Plasma, all from the Leap Atom club, as well as Caramel, Sui Le, Caffeine from Cola Fever, and from Monarchs of Heaven, Feng Shui Revolution, Qi Junzi…”

As the host read out each of these legendary IDs, there was an interesting phenomenon among the audience.

That is, each time the host announced a player’s ID, a group of audience members who had stood up sat back down, until the host finished reading all IDs at an extremely fast pace. By then, the spectator seats around Jiang Qiao had once again become fully occupied.
