Chapter 104: Commanding the Entire Audience

At that moment, Daxu was still mindlessly grinding through maps and completing daily tasks at the internet café. For him, it was far too easy—almost mechanical.

A companion beside him rubbed his sleepy eyes. "Daxu, I can’t take it anymore. I have to go back and get some sleep."

Daxu nodded. After nearly thirteen hours online, he was indeed a bit tired. One more game and then back to school for a good rest.

Just then, Ming Han rushed into the internet café in a hurry.

He glanced around and saw Daxu still at his usual spot—their designated seat that everyone at the café recognized as his.

Ming Han grabbed Daxu’s arm. “Bro, help me take care of someone.”

Daxu scowled, dissatisfied. “I’m a civilized man. Don’t ask me to fight. Look at you, Ming Han—used to be so gentle and sweet. Ever since you started hanging out with Lin Shan, you’ve changed completely—so rough!”

It seemed Daxu still held a grudge against Lin Shan for roughing him up. After all, Daxu had always been proud of his handsome face, only to nearly have it ruined by Lin Shan’s harsh hands.

Ming Han said, “Brother Xu, the school’s honor is at a critical point. All hope rests on you. If you can turn this crisis around, the title of ‘King of the School’ will surely be yours. Then all the girls in our grade…”

As Ming Han painted that rosy picture, Daxu suddenly broke into a sly grin. “Hahaha…”

Ming Han’s face darkened. This kid was hopeless!

He carefully explained the situation to Daxu, ending with a serious warning: “Lin Feng is very strong. Rumor has it he’s already at Supreme Rank 8.”

Daxu laughed heartily. “That level? Strong? I can fight like this with my eyes closed.”

Though Daxu was supremely confident, Ming Han didn’t believe him entirely. He knew Daxu too well—he could boast without batting an eye. Not reliable!

The two internet cafés, Changxiang and Blue Point, were close by, so they arrived quickly.

A high school student was still ranting, “Just surrender! Dragging this out is pointless.”

Daxu leapt forward and tapped the guy on the head. “Surrender my foot. Wait and see me crush you all.”

The junior high crowd had expected Ming Han to bring some big-shot expert, but instead, he brought Daxu. Daxu’s reputation for being unreliable was well known even in their grade.

“Are you sure you can handle this?” Lin Shan doubted.

Feigning sorrow, Daxu said to Lin Shan, “I’m heartbroken that you can’t even beat such a weakling.”

The weakling in question was Lin Feng. Lin Feng didn’t like this junior at all. “This junior clearly doesn’t know how to respect his elders!”

Daxu looked surprised. “You’re two years older than me and still acting high and mighty? Enough talk, let’s fight.”

Lin Feng sneered, silently vowing to finish Daxu off with a combo.

Daxu’s class was Sword Master, wielding a sleek lightsaber.

Lin Feng struck first with a combo, but Daxu skillfully dodged every move.

“Wow!” many exclaimed. Dodging it all? That was almost supernatural.

At that moment, Lin Feng’s high-damage skills were cooling down. Daxu seized the chance, unleashing a dazzling combo.

Lin Feng dodged desperately but was always one step behind Daxu’s predictions.

In just two minutes, Daxu secured a solo kill!

The junior high students erupted in applause.

But it wasn’t over yet…

Daxu, sporting a messy bedhead and bleary eyes, seemed absent-minded as he manipulated the keyboard, yet he utterly crushed the remaining three opponents without a fight.

Too strong.

At this point, Lin Feng was completely convinced.

“Junior, this isn’t your main account, right?”

Daxu’s current account was only Supreme Rank 10.

“Yeah, it’s a friend’s. Mine dropped a rank last night—down to Supreme Rank 2.”

Many who had played the game were stunned hearing Daxu’s rank.

“At this level, there probably isn’t a rival in the entire county, right?”

Hearing the chatter, Lin Feng felt frustrated. Such a godlike player hiding right in their school’s junior high, and he had foolishly issued a challenge.

He had truly shot himself in the foot.

“Daxu, I want to have your kids,” Lin Shan said disgustedly, lunging to hug Daxu. “From now on, I’m sticking with you. We’ll reach top-tier Supreme status together.”

Seeing the admiring and respectful gazes from everyone, Daxu couldn’t help but feel smug. Finally, people noticed my brilliance. Will I be receiving love letters from girls now?

Lin Feng sighed. “We lost the first round.”

They had come confident to challenge, only to be blindsided by a dark horse.

“Then show us what the second round will be. We’re ready anytime,” Lin Wei said.

Lin Feng was already thinking—they had to compete in something they excelled at this time.

“The first round was set by the high school team. Shouldn’t the second round be set by the junior high team?” a girl suggested.

Everyone agreed—that would be fair.

Lin Feng couldn’t refuse. “What does the junior want to compete in?”

“Singing,” the girl said, glancing at Ming Han. She clearly had faith in his singing.

“Yes, yes…”

“With Ming Han, we definitely won’t lose.”

Ming Han was helpless. He had only wanted to be a spectator but now, seeing the situation, the whole grade had sold him out.

Naturally, the high schoolers knew of Ming Han’s singing prowess. He had won first prize at the school choir competition two years running.

“Singing is highly subjective. It’s hard to judge who’s better,” Lin Feng said.

The girl replied, “Live broadcast, online voting. Whoever gets more votes within an hour wins.”

That was indeed a fair method.

“Everyone knows Ming Han is already famous online,” a high schooler complained. “That gives him an unfair advantage.”

Lin Feng, who had been thinking deeply, suddenly spoke. “I accept your challenge.”

His tone was resolute, as if victory was assured.

“Competing with Ming Han in popularity? You’re crazy,” Daxu touched Lin Feng’s forehead. “No fever, huh?”

“Don’t assume fame guarantees a win. It’ll come down to singing ability,” Lin Feng said, then turned and left. Everyone thought he’d chickened out.

A high schooler followed him. “Lin, competing with Ming Han like this puts us at a disadvantage!”

Lin Feng snorted. “Not necessarily. If I can get Su Lei to compete against Ming Han, then Ming Han’s advantage disappears.”

“But Su Lei is a girl. Does that follow the rules?”

“Who says girls can’t compete? This is cultural exchange between the high school and junior high. Every high schooler has a duty to uphold our honor.”

Seeing Lin Feng’s righteous stance, the other guy silently thought: shameless!
