Chapter 204: Heavenly Win
Shen Tian disappeared.
Jiang Feng turned.
Arrow already drawn.
THOOM!
It struck his chest.
CRITICAL HIT!
Jiang Feng flew backward.
LittleMaple screamed.
"CAPTAIN!"
Shen Tian immediately drew another.
Then...
A dagger struck his bow.
LittleMaple had returned.
Jiang Feng smiled from the ground.
"Good."
LittleMaple smiled proudly.
"Team game."
Shen Tian stared.
Then laughed.
"You two are annoying."
Jiang Feng stood.
"Good."
The match continued.
Ten minutes.
Fifteen.
Twenty.
Nobody expected it to last this long.
Windfall refused to collapse.
Every time Heaven’s Fall gained momentum...
Jiang Feng changed strategy.
MoonPetal finally trapped two Windfall members in an enormous ice field.
Shen Yan eliminated their healer.
Shen Tian killed another.
Suddenly...
Windfall had only...
Jiang Feng.
And LittleMaple.
Against...
Shen Tian.
MoonPetal.
And Shen Yan.
LittleMaple looked around.
"...Captain."
"Yeah?"
"We’re screwed."
Jiang Feng laughed.
"Probably."
The scoreboard showed...
WINDFALL: 2,840
HEAVEN’S FALL: 2,910
First to...
3,000.
One final objective.
Center arena.
Jiang Feng looked toward LittleMaple.
"Can you trust me?"
She stared.
"What kind of question is that?"
He smiled.
"Right."
The objective appeared.
They moved.
Shen Tian immediately understood.
Jiang Feng wasn’t going for kills.
He wanted the objective.
Shen Tian aimed.
MoonPetal cast.
Shen Yan rushed.
LittleMaple disappeared.
Jiang Feng ran straight through the center.
MoonPetal’s spell activated.
Frozen Dominion!
Ice exploded.
Jiang Feng used Flowing Step.
Barely escaped.
Shen Yan appeared.
Jiang Feng blocked.
Once.
Twice.
Third strike broke his guard.
His health collapsed.
Shen Tian drew.
One arrow.
If it hit...
Done.
Then...
LittleMaple appeared.
Not behind Shen Tian.
In front of Jiang Feng.
The arrow struck her.
Critical Hit!
Her health vanished.
Jiang Feng’s eyes widened.
"MAPLE!"
Her avatar began dissolving.
She smiled.
"Go."
Jiang Feng stared.
Then...
Ran.
He reached the objective.
Capture: 10%
Shen Tian moved.
20%.
MoonPetal cast.
35%.
Jiang Feng dodged.
48%.
Shen Yan approached.
Jiang Feng’s health...
11%.
60%.
Shen Tian aimed.
Jiang Feng looked toward him.
Both knew.
One shot.
72%.
Shen Tian released.
Jiang Feng moved.
Arrow passed his face.
83%.
MoonPetal’s spell struck.
His health...
4%.
91%.
Jiang Feng smiled.
"Come on..."
95%.
Shen Tian drew again.
97%.
Jiang Feng reached.
98%.
Arrow released.
99%.
Then...
Jiang Feng disappeared.
The arrow passed through empty air.
Shen Tian’s eyes widened.
Respawn reposition?
No.
A skill.
Wanderer’s Return.
Jiang Feng appeared behind the objective.
He lunged.
Shen Tian smiled.
"Nice."
Then...
Quick Step.
Shen Tian appeared directly beside the objective.
Jiang Feng’s eyes widened.
Shen Tian’s hand touched the capture point.
CONTESTED
99%.
Jiang Feng stared.
Shen Tian smiled.
"Almost."
"...You bastard."
Then MoonPetal’s magic struck.
Jiang Feng’s remaining health vanished.
His avatar froze.
Silence.
Then...
He dissolved.
The objective became uncontested.
HEAVEN’S FALL CAPTURING
2,950
2,970
2,990
3,000
The sky exploded.
VICTORY!
REGIONAL GUILD CLASH CHAMPION
HEAVEN’S FALL
The arena erupted.
Inside Windfall’s preparation room...
Jiang Feng respawned.
LittleMaple appeared beside him.
For several seconds...
Nobody spoke.
Then LittleMaple sighed.
"...One percent."
Jiang Feng stared toward the scoreboard.
"Yeah."
"One."
"Yep."
"ONE."
He laughed.
She looked toward him.
Then...
Started laughing too.
Soon...
The entire Windfall team joined.
They had lost.
But...
They had taken Heaven’s Fall to the final second.
Against Shen Tian.
Against MoonPetal.
Against Shen Yan.
Jiang Feng smiled.
He could live with that.
Shen Tian barely noticed the championship announcement.
Because Xu Ning appeared immediately.
Golden Fate shattered.
[Ding!]
Major Destiny Event stolen.
Regional Championship lost.
Fate stolen: 12,000
Jiang Feng Current Fate Value: 147,000
Shen Tian smiled.
One piece at a time.
After the tournament...
Jiang Feng walked onto the virtual stage.
Shen Tian stood holding the championship trophy.
MoonPetal beside him.
Jiang Feng looked toward the trophy.
Then Shen Tian.
"One percent."
Shen Tian smiled.
"One hundred would’ve been better."
Jiang Feng punched his shoulder.
"Asshole."
Shen Tian laughed.
Then...
He held out his hand.
Jiang Feng took it.
The audience cheered.
Two guild leaders.
Two friends.
Two rivals.
For the cameras...
It looked like the beginning of a legendary esports rivalry.
Only Shen Tian knew...
It was actually the beginning of the end of Jiang Feng’s destiny.
Over the next several months...
Eternal Realm changed.
The game became more than popular.
It became...
Everything.
Professional leagues formed.
Organizations invested millions.
Guild territories became valuable.
Major streamers moved into the game.
Entire businesses formed around crafting, trading, coaching, entertainment, and professional competition.
And...
Three names constantly appeared near the top.
Titan.
Windfall.
Heaven’s Fall.
Titan remained powerful.
Windfall continued growing.
Heaven’s Fall remained strange.
Small.
Elite.
And terrifying.
But Jiang Feng...
Was everywhere.
He became the face of the comeback story.
The captain who had been thrown away...
Only to create his own team.
Sponsors approached.
Interview requests flooded in.
Professional players wanted to join Windfall.
And with every success...
His Fate created opportunities.
Unfortunately...
Shen Tian was usually nearby.
The first came from a hidden dungeon.
[Dragon Emperor’s Battlefield]
Original Destiny...
Jiang Feng would discover it.
Instead...
Shen Tian’s Blackstone Eagle accidentally carried him across the hidden entrance.
Xu Ning stared.
Shen Tian stared.
"...I genuinely didn’t do that."
[Host.]
"I didn’t!"
The dungeon reward...
A Legendary Sword.
Originally Jiang Feng’s.
Shen Tian cleared the dungeon first.
[Ding!]
Fate stolen: 8,000
Jiang Feng Fate: 139,000
When Jiang Feng discovered what happened...
He stared at Shen Tian.
"You."
"I swear that one wasn’t intentional."
"Your bird stole my dungeon."
"Technically..."
"Don’t technically me."
MoonPetal laughed.
Next...
A legendary NPC swordsman appeared.
Originally destined to teach Jiang Feng a Unique Sword Wanderer skill.
Instead...
The NPC saw Shen Yan training.
He became fascinated by her technique.
Shen Tian happened to be standing nearby.
One conversation later...
The hidden quest activated for Heaven’s Fall.
Jiang Feng arrived twenty minutes late.
He stared.
Shen Tian stared back.
"..."
"..."
Jiang Feng sighed.
"How much did you steal this time?"
Shen Tian froze.
"What?"
"Nothing."
Jiang Feng narrowed his eyes.
"You always make that face when something stupid happens."
