When the members of the guild heard Xu Yuan declare that he wouldn't be changing anyone and that this was just the beginning, they were all stunned.
The incredible feat of landing water earlier had already left everyone in shock. Now, hearing Xu Yuan's words, everyone wondered—what other amazing moves would he pull out next?!
"Whoa, boss! Are you about to put on a one-man show?"
"Awesome!! Steve, you go ahead—let's take note of every key move he makes!"
"This… This is crazy. I'm mourning for Long Teng for a second—hahaha!"
"Boss Steve, you're leaving no hope for Dragon Teng. That's just cruel!"
Although the guild players didn't know exactly what dazzling tricks Xu Yuan had planned next, one thing was clear:
The players of the Dragon Teng Guild were in trouble.
Based on Xu Yuan's momentum, it was a one-sided beating—Long Teng had no chance to fight back.
The guild members watching from the side were also stunned by Xu Yuan's operation. But they couldn't openly show their admiration—after all, the competition between Cube Man's Guild and Dragon Teng was still ongoing. Still, deep down, they all recognized the brilliance of Xu Yuan's tactics.
Meanwhile, Long Teng's side immediately took action.
"The next player on the map, go down to the mine and find iron—just like Xu Yuan!"
"Don't dig holes blindly now; think of other strategies!"
The players of Long Teng felt the pressure mounting. They didn't know who would step up next, but if it was anyone other than Steve, they still might have a fighting chance. If it was Steve again, hope was slim.
Soon, Long Teng issued another challenge to the Blocker Guild.
Xu Yuan's team quickly agreed and stepped into the teleportation area, ready for the next round.
Within moments, Xu Yuan reappeared on the game map. Unsurprisingly, the resources from before still lay untouched.
The watching players immediately erupted in excitement.
"Wow, the Cube Man Guild hasn't changed—Steve is still in control!"
"I can't wait to see what new tricks he'll show us!"
"It looks like Long Teng only has one last chance to challenge. If they keep losing, they'll face four more battles… But honestly, I feel like I can only watch four ways to die in a row."
Everyone's curiosity and anticipation grew—most assumed it was just a gamble on luck. But after witnessing Xu Yuan's operations, they realized this was a game of strategy and skill.
Everyone now hoped to see the opponents fight more—more wits, more clever tactics, more spectacular moments.
Suddenly, the game was paused.
Both players were immediately teleported back to the preparation zone.
Confusion spread among the spectators—none knew what had just happened.
Then, the system announcement popped up to clarify.
It turned out Long Teng had filed a report against Xu Yuan, claiming unfairness because Xu Yuan's equipment and items still remained on him after re-entering the map.
But the system swiftly dismissed the report.
The rules had been made clear from the start:
- 1 to 3 players per round.
- If a player is eliminated and continues to participate, their previous data—including inventory and health—are inherited.
So, there was no unfair advantage—Xu Yuan simply hadn't taken damage in the last game, which was perfectly within the rules.
Long Teng's suspicion stemmed from seeing Xu Yuan's undiminished items, but this was just standard inheritance.
The real essence of the competition was a battle of wits and courage, not just raw combat.
If both players were equally strong, continuous killing was impossible; instead, they would gather resources, craft traps, and perhaps even use Redstone technology to outsmart each other.
The goal was to familiarize players with various survival techniques, preparing them for future challenges and activities.
After the system clarified, the spectators couldn't help but mock Long Teng's behavior.
"Can't handle losing, so they report? That's so typical."
"Imagine if it was just Ken—would they still complain?"
"Long Teng's embarrassment—system says their report is invalid. Looks like their tactics are pretty weak!"
With the ruling, both players were teleported back onto the map for another round.
Xu Yuan stepped forward, contemplating his next move.
If he simply wanted to cause Long Teng's downfall, that was easy enough. But he decided to add some fun to the game—set a few traps for the Dragon Teng players.
Suddenly, Xu Yuan's mind flashed to the movie *Chainsaw*.
A mischievous grin appeared as he thought, **"I-WANT-TO-PLAY-A-GAME!"**
This was about to become more than just a straightforward battle—it was a game of wit, deception, and strategy.
