Stronger with More Jobs

The match is over.

Fang Qingyu pushed open the door to the players’ lounge.

The Thunder God’s roar, enough to flip the dome, was kept outside.

Inside the room.

It was silent.

The spacious lounge was lit with harsh white lights.

The screen was still repeatedly replaying the shocking scene of him sending Shadow flying with two punches.

The golden lightning tore through the air, pierced the arena, and slammed Shadow’s figure like a broken sack into the depth of a pit.

The images were silent, yet they carried a suffocating aesthetics of violence.

Fang Qingyu’s melted gold vertical pupils quickly scanned the room.

The lounge was almost empty.

Jiang Wei was quietly sitting on the sofa in the corner.

Her clear red pupils looked over as soon as he pushed the door and entered.

Her long red hair flowed like lava.

Besides Jiang Wei, there was only one person left in the spacious lounge.

A tall man wearing a black combat suit, arms crossed and leaning against the wall.

His face was covered by a dark red mask with a sharp spearhead design.

Sky-splitting Spear, Sun Qian.

When Fang Qingyu’s gaze fell on him.

Sun Qian’s body visibly stiffened.

The arms he was holding slowly lowered and he stood up straight.

Under Fang Qingyu’s calm gaze, Sun Qian’s footsteps began to move, somewhat heavily.

Step by step, directly towards Fang Qingyu.

Fang Qingyu’s eyebrows imperceptibly furrowed as he stopped at the doorway, his melted gold vertical pupils fixed on the silent approaching figure.

The atmosphere suddenly became tense.

Sun Qian stopped three steps away from Fang Qingyu.

His gaze seemed to be meeting Fang Qingyu’s through the mask’s eye holes.

Then, under Fang Qingyu’s slightly puzzled gaze.

Sun Qian suddenly bent down.

His back was straight, his upper body forming a perfect ninety-degree angle with the ground.

An extremely standard bow.

"I’m sorry!"

A hoarse voice squeezed out from his throat.

The voice wasn’t loud, yet it echoed unusually clear in the empty, silent lounge.

After saying this apology.

Sun Qian quickly straightened up, as if staying one more second would be torture.

He didn’t even dare to look at Fang Qingyu’s reaction, nor at Jiang Wei in the corner.

He quickly rushed out of the lounge’s door.

"Bang!"

The door was closed heavily.

Leaving Fang Qingyu alone at the door, the expression under his mask filled with astonishment.

What just happened?

Fang Qingyu was utterly confused.

He instinctively looked towards Jiang Wei in the corner.

Jiang Wei had already stood up from the sofa, her long red hair gently swaying with her movements.

She walked up to Fang Qingyu, raising her delicate, cold face.

Her clear red pupils carried a hint of an unnoticeable triumphant look.

"He insulted you just now."

Jiang Wei’s voice was cold and calm.

Fang Qingyu was stunned: "Insulted me?"

"Yes." Jiang Wei nodded vigorously, her ruby-like eyes flashing with a hint of coldness, "I made him apologize to you."

Fang Qingyu looked at Jiang Wei’s expression that seemed so justified, even a little "praise me" hint.

The corner of his mouth under the mask twitched uncontrollably.

A feeling of mixed emotions surged in his heart.

He could probably guess what happened.

Knowing Jiang Wei’s personality, hearing someone insult him, not burning that Sun Qian to ashes on the spot was already quite restrained.

"So... what did you do?"

Fang Qingyu asked helplessly, his tone carrying a hint of doting indulgence.

Jiang Wei immediately recounted what had happened in the lounge earlier, including Sun Qian’s taunts, her duel invitation, and Sun Qian’s final surrender and apology under pressure, concisely but clearly.

After speaking, her clear red pupils looked at Fang Qingyu unblinkingly, seemingly awaiting evaluation.

Fang Qingyu listened quietly, pondering for two seconds.

Finally, he stretched out his hand and, through the mask, gently ruffled Jiang Wei’s smooth red hair.

"Well done." His voice, filtered through the mask, carried a gentle smile.

Jiang Wei’s mouth seemed to curve upward slightly, although the arc was tiny, the light in her red pupils shone much brighter instantly.

"But next time," Fang Qingyu shifted his tone, "for such duels, let me handle it myself."

Upon hearing this, reluctance flashed through Jiang Wei’s red pupils, but she still nodded: "Okay."

She understood Fang Qingyu’s meaning.

It wasn’t that he disliked her interference, but rather he didn’t want her to bear such unnecessary risks.

...

Walking out of the players’ passage.

The enormous clamor instantly swallowed both of them.

Old Chu and the others had been waiting outside for a long time.

As soon as they saw Fang Qingyu’s figure appear, they immediately surrounded him with excitement.

"Qingzi!"

"That was awesome! My god!"

"Two punches! Just two punches!"

Chu Kuanglan was the first to rush up, his large copper eyes filled with excitement and disbelief.

"Qingzi, how on earth did you do it?!" Chu Kuanglan’s voice boomed, asking the biggest question on everyone’s mind, "That Shadow’s duplicates were indistinguishable, when you threw the first punch, I thought you missed, but then you turned around and your second punch landed right on his face! It’s like you have x-ray vision! How did you know his real body would be in that position?!"

Everyone’s gaze was focused on Fang Qingyu’s face.

Even the usually calm Wei Banmeng and Lu Jiuyuan had eyes full of curiosity.

Everyone was very curious.

The most troublesome part of the Shadow Apostles is their duplicate deception and real body switching.

Fang Qingyu’s punches were absurdly precise.

Fang Qingyu’s expression under the mask became somewhat peculiar.

He couldn’t possibly say that he could see titles above people’s heads, and that duplicates didn’t have them, making the real body obvious.

After slightly pondering, he organized his words.

The voice came through the mask:

"Killing intent."

"Although his duplicates have identical auras, the intensity and direction of killing intent exposed when the real body is in different positions are vastly different."
