Chapter 40 confirms it's definitely AI.
Zhao Weike, dressed as the "Marshal Pig," was instantly defeated.
He knelt on the ground, still shouting, "Keep going, everyone! Don't let my sacrifice and Defa's sacrifice be in vain!"
"Yeah, let's go all out and chop down Top Bro!"
"Top Brother is just an AI; we absolutely cannot let him get the Flying Dragon Sword!"
"Wang Yingluo, use your combat skills to cut him down!"
A group of people were shouting and yelling.
However, the next round still belonged to Lu Chao, who has a speed of 187.
Lu Chao checked his attributes. His previous attack had triggered the extraordinary properties of the Splitting Light Sword Shadow technique, restoring some of his resilience. Now, with a cold expression, he pointed at Wang Yingluo and said, "Wang Yingluo, how dare you refuse to pay your debts!"
Having said that, the commoner's sword flew out.
Lu Chaoding used [Sword Echo] again, and Wang Yingluo cried out as her body turned gray under the bombardment of sword shadows.
At the same time, the extraordinary special effects of the Splitting Light Sword Shadow were triggered again, which actually restored two points of resilience to Lu Chaoding!
"I got instantly killed!"
"Wow, Ding Ge is so fast!"
"They got lapped in just two rounds!"
"Hit him, keep hitting him, don't hesitate..."
Amidst the cheers of the crowd, Sword Saint Gu Xiaoxiao entered her second round. She unleashed [Heavy Strike], dealing 97 damage to Lu Chao's head with a single strike.
After the round ended, Gu Xiaoxiao shouted at Lu Chaoding, "Brother Ding, don't blame me. Zhao Qunzi said that if we don't defeat you, none of us will get ahead. You're already so strong, so let's give you the rewards for the duel!"
Lu Chao remained expressionless and completely ignored him.
He couldn't be bothered to guess what these players were thinking.
Next, Zhang Jiaqiang, Xiao Ning, and Xiao Panpan took turns attacking, and Lu Chaoding's health bar dropped piece by piece. After the three of them finished attacking, Lu Chaoding's health was reduced to less than 700, and he still had 3 points of resilience.
"Junior brothers and sisters, your swordsmanship is quite good. Be careful now, as I am about to unleash a sweeping combat technique that will affect all directions. You are all within my attack range!"
Niu Daren's second round began. As he spoke, he took out a blood-red greatsword and swept it horizontally. A ring of sword energy appeared. Lu Chaoding was closest to Niu Daren and was the first to be hit by the sword energy. He immediately lost 92 points of health and his tenacity decreased by one.
Zhang Jiaqiang, Gu Xiaoxiao, and others were subsequently affected by the sword energy and lost health.
"How was my swordsmanship, Senior Brother?"
Niu Daren sheathed his sword, beaming with pride.
No one cares about him.
Lu Chaoding was now facing his fifth round. He pointed at Zhang Jiaqiang and said, "Zhang Jiaqiang, how dare you owe money and not pay it back..."
Zhang Jiaqiang quickly raised his hand and said, "I only owe 200!"
However, the merciless sword and 36 sword shadows still attacked, and Zhang Jiaqiang cried out and knelt down as well.
Lu Chao's movements didn't stop there. The sixth round began immediately. He pointed at Xiao Ning again and said, "Xiao Ning, how dare you owe money and not pay it back!"
Boom boom boom boom...
Amidst the flames and explosions, Xiao Ning also knelt down.
At this point, the only players still standing on the field, besides Lu Chaoding, were Gu Xiaoxiao and Xiao Panpan.
As soon as Lu Chaoding sheathed his sword, Gu Xiaoxiao faced her third round. She shouted at Lu Chaoding, "Brother Ding, I don't owe you any money!"
After saying that, he drew his sword and slashed, landing a lucky critical hit that took away 81 points of Lu Chao's health.
As Xiao Panpan's third round began, seeing that Lu Chaoding still had a little over 600 health points left, she exclaimed, "We're doomed! Next round, Ding-ge will wipe us all out! Zhao Qunzi, you've tricked us again!"
After saying that, Xiao Panpan still struck out with her sword. The damage from her main weapon, plus the additional lightning strike from the Sword God's talent, Divine Might, took away 104 points of Lu Chaoding's health and also depleted Lu Chaoding's resilience!
At this point, Lu Chao had 515 health points remaining.
Niu Daren laughed heartily, then looked at Lu Chaoding and said, "Junior Brother Lu Chaoding, take this sword strike!"
After saying that, the Sword Demon NPC used a basic attack, directly reducing Lu Chao's health by 370 points.
Lu Chaoding had 145 health points remaining. He entered his sixth round, and like a robot, he pointed at Xiao Panpan expressionlessly and said, "Little Panpan, how dare you owe me money and not pay it back!"
After speaking, he drew his sword, and with several loud clangs, Xiao Panpan knelt down.
Lu Chaoding's seventh round followed immediately. He pointed at Gu Xiaoxiao and said, "Gu Xiaoxiao..."
Gu Xiaoxiao quickly replied, "I don't owe any money, we're even!"
Surprisingly, Lu Chaoding nodded and said, "Then I'll let you go this time!"
After he finished speaking, everyone saw that Lu Chaoding actually did not attack Gu Xiaoxiao, but instead turned his attention to Niu Daren.
He was still using the [Sword Echo].
Niu Daren only had 4000 health points, and he couldn't withstand Lu Chao's combat skill. He was blasted to his knees by the second-stage flame explosion.
"I was careless, I didn't dodge!"
Niu Daren added, still feeling very unwilling.
The players who were kneeling on the ground were no longer calm.
"What's going on? Did Ding Ge not play against Xiao Xiao?"
"Could it be that the AI determines only those who owe money will be attacked?"
"This is outrageous!"
"So, is Ding Ge an AI?"
"Whether it's AI or not, I think Ding Ge cheated!"
"Gu Xiaoxiao, hit him..."
At this moment, only Lu Chaoding and Gu Xiaoxiao were still standing on the field. Gu Xiaoxiao was a little confused. It was now her turn, and she found that Lu Chaoding still had 145 points of health. She was immediately filled with frustration.
She couldn't deal 145 damage in a single attack.
This means that Lu Chaoding still has at least one more chance to act. In Gu Xiaoxiao's mind, in the next round, he will definitely kill her with a single sword strike.
"Brother Ding is too strong! I never thought that even with the rest of us teaming up, plus Niu Daren, we still couldn't beat him. I'm impressed!"
She shook her head, now in a state of resignation, and with a single, neutral strike, only managed to reduce Lu Chao's health by 70 points.
Zhao Weike and the others sighed with mixed feelings, some disappointed, some depressed, and some angry.
However, to their surprise, after Lu Chao took a sword strike from Gu Xiaoxiao, he seemed to become a wooden figure, standing motionless until the round timed out.
"Huh? Ding-ge disconnected?"
"No way!"
"Now it seems I absolutely refuse to believe that Ding Ge isn't an AI!"
"This is solid proof!"
"I think Ding Ge has a lot of bugs!"
"Gu Xiaoxiao, what are you waiting for? Take advantage of his offline state and attack him!"
"This guy is really outrageous!"
"Who would have thought that Gu Xiaoxiao would be the one to survive to the end!"
"Trash, bro, you should disconnect now..."
The kneeling men had very mixed feelings. They watched as Gu Xiaoxiao used the universal combat skill [Heavy Strike], instantly depleting Lu Chao's health bar.
With that, the chaotic battle ended, the battle space shattered, and everyone was quickly teleported back to the top of Lion Mountain.
Niu Daren returned as well. He clapped his hands and greeted everyone, "Junior brothers and sisters, today's sword duel is over. You all performed well, especially Junior Sister Gu Xiaoxiao. According to the rules, this three-star weapon, the Flying Dragon Sword, belongs to Junior Sister Gu Xiaoxiao. Don't be discouraged, everyone. Keep up the good work, there will be a second sword duel tomorrow!"
He handed the gleaming Flying Dragon Sword to Gu Xiaoxiao.
Gu Xiaoxiao felt that happiness had come too suddenly, and after a few seconds of stunned silence, she jumped up in ecstasy.
Zhao Weike and the others sighed with envy.
Lu Chaoding also received a system notification that the mission was complete. He walked over to Niu Daren, who, as expected, reacted. Niu Daren pulled out a ten-centimeter-long miniature sword from his pocket and said to Lu Chaoding, "Congratulations, Junior Brother, on your defeat. This flying insect sword is yours... Oh dear, what am I saying? How did I get such a thing!"
Lu Chao's face darkened. He didn't even want to complain anymore. He took the tiny sword, which looked like a keychain, and then opened the entrance to his private cave in front of everyone, stepping inside.
He doesn't want to do anything right now, he just wants to have a good night's sleep.
