Chapter 224: Chapter 174: Sudden Change

The oval ground in the center of the stadium projected countless lights and shadows, akin to a mirage.

It started somewhat blurry but became very clear within a few seconds.

What unfolded before the audience was a vast city in ruins. The majority of its buildings had collapsed, with only a few dilapidated skyscrapers still towering into the clouds. Streets were overgrown with weeds, forests merged with the remnants of civilization, and there were no traces of human activity.

"Doomsday Forest City!"

There was buzzing among the audience; this Spirit Realm World was one of the most classic battlegrounds.

The victory conditions in different Spirit Realm Worlds varied.

Some were about annihilating the opposing team—quite brutal. Some were about attacking or defending a position and completing within a time limit. There was also a battle royale mode where the last one standing won.

Doomsday Forest City followed a deathmatch mode, where you had to kill all members of the opposing team.

A row of large screens above the venue displayed different angles of the scene.

The ten competing Mutants from both teams had already entered the ruined city, each with their individual camera feed, displayed alongside real-time data on one side of the screen.

The more attention a Mutant garnered, the more camera screens they had.

Zhao Manying, as the current number one and most popular, monopolized five screens all to herself, showing her condition from various angles.

The cameras included both wide shots and close-ups, with one even focused on her face throughout.

It was almost like observing under a microscope, magnifying both strengths and flaws. Few could maintain a good image throughout, and often embarrassing moments were captured.

However, Zhao Manying under the camera was, no matter how you looked, flawless.

Truly 360 degrees with no blind spots!

Many in the audience, captivated by the peerless beauty on the screen, her valiant and graceful poise, found themselves enchanted, hardly blinking an eye.

Since it was the beginning of the game, and the early stage was uneventful, the commentary box was rather relaxed.

When the main screen switched to Zhao Manying, the commentators started praising her beauty before inevitably bringing up her personal life outside of the arena, mentioning she now had a boyfriend.

Instantly, both the live audience and those in the online broadcast rooms were grinding their teeth in frustration.

The live chat was immediately flooded with comments.

"A grudge over a stolen wife, irreconcilable!"

"Damn cowardly man!"

"With a blade in hand..."

Ji Xinghuo, hearing the cursing around him, helplessly shook his head.

Although most people were just going with the flow and making jokes, being resented by so many every day—and definitely including some extremists—meant he was bound to face numerous troubles in the future.

In the footage, both teams had started moving.

The scenes in the Spirit Realm World were pre-designed, with weapons and equipment randomly spawning in various locations, alongside weapon caches and other resource points, and important facilities that could be tactically advantageous.

The competition Mutants could only carry limited supplies, and their weapons and equipment were also power-constrained, so they had to seek resources in the Spirit Realm World to arm themselves and gain a considerable advantage.

Of course, they could also directly seek out their opponents and start fighting immediately.

These were all tactical choices.

Doomsday Forest City covered a large area, with both teams restricted to a range within fifty square kilometers. The most efficient way to gather resources was to split up.

But that also meant being alone and in danger if discovered by the enemy.

The Emperor Star Team’s coach had already arranged the tactics.

Five people, divided into three groups.

The team’s three strongest cores split up, with Shi Renzhong and Qi Feng each leading a teammate, operating in pairs—one subgroup gathering resources, the other occupying the city’s important strongholds.

Zhao Manying acted alone.

She moved at top speed through the ruined city, heading straight toward where the opponent might appear.

If she found the enemy and was confident, she would launch an attack immediately; if the timing wasn’t right, she would disrupt the enemy as much as possible, suppress their movements, prevent them from gathering resources, and wait for her teammates to arrive armed to corner the enemy together.

In the footage, Zhao Manying was running through the ruins.

Her speed was fast, and she agilely dodged the obstacles scattered among the debris, her figure lithe, like a graceful cheetah sprinting at high speed.

The audience watched with unwavering eyes.

The noise gradually rose, and the commentators’ attention was pulled back.

The map showed that Zhao Manying had chosen the right direction, and she was about to encounter a small group from the Skywalker Team.

The Skywalker Team’s tactic was to split into two groups, one with two people and the other with three.

And the pair were about to run into Zhao Manying.

Ji Xinghuo looked at the two people.

The two competing Mutants, one male, and one female, were top-tier players in the super league, especially the female Mutant, who stood out considerably.

She was called Yu Meiling, known as the "Ice and Fire Queen," the absolute core of the Skywalker Team.

Ji Xinghuo had heard about her since his school days. At thirty-three years old, she had always been the most popular female Mutant in the domestic super league, possessing both beauty and strength at the top of the world stage, with countless loyal fans and glorious fame.

That was until four years ago when Zhao Manying joined the super league.

Initially, Yu Meiling and Zhao Manying had an even record against each other.

At that time, Yu Meiling was a bit stronger, but Zhao Manying was slightly more beautiful, so their popularity was about the same, known as the twin beauties of their generation.

By the second year, Zhao Manying started winning more than losing, surpassing Yu Meiling in popularity.

By the third year, Zhao Manying had risen to become a Super Mutant, surpassing Yu Meiling in strength and leading her team from one victory to the next, ultimately winning the championship.

Last year, Zhao Manying had topped the Global Ladder rankings, and her team had crushed the league with an absolute advantage, securing back-to-back championships and winning the international invitational tournament three times in a row.
