　　Li Yiming stood in front of his own nexus, staring blankly at the chip in his sword. 'Well, at least I get revived whenever I die, but…'

　　Li Yiming pulled his hair in frustration and ran toward the river once again. He was being beaten in every aspect by his opponent. Even worse was his reliance on Thunderflash for teleportation at a moment's notice, which was a luxury he could no longer afford.

　　The enemy's minions marched down the lane and knocked on Li Yiming's tower vigorously. What made matters worse was that Wukong had already proceeded to the next wave of friendly minions and was beginning to dispose of them.

　　'You!' Li Yiming could no longer endure such humiliation. He clenched his sword and dashed toward the monkey. The latter brushed the zombie minions to the side with ease and stared at Li Yiming challengingly.

　　Li Yiming let out a low roar and launched a deadly stab aimed at Wukong's throat.

　　Ding!

　　Li Yiming's sword collided against the golden staff. Li Yiming quickly spun around and came back with a slash on the left side. Although he managed to drive his blade right through the monkey's chest, he wasted no time in pulling back his sword and spinning.

　　Poof!

　　Of course, Li Yiming pierced just another clone.

　　Li Yiming retreated back to his own tower while maintaining his spin. He knew that his foe was looking for an opportunity in the shadows. As he approached his tower, Li Yiming lowered his guard and began clearing the minions in range.

　　Just as he s.h.i.+fted his attention to the minions, a golden staff suddenly appeared and struck at Li Yiming's forehead. Li Yiming, who had not been antic.i.p.ating the strike, quickly dodged to the side, but not quickly enough to avoid being hit on the right shoulder.

　　Ding!

　　This time, Li Yiming's tower responded and targeted the monkey, who did not have time to fall back after his attack.

　　'Now!' Li Yiming grabbed his sword with his left hand and stabbed Wukong's back.

　　'Shouldn't have attacked me under my tower's range!' Li Yiming could almost taste the sweetness of revenge.

　　Just as the tip of his sword grazed the monkey, it suddenly vanished. Right after, it appeared outside of the tower's range, showing off its armor and laughing at Li Yiming.

　　'What, teleportation?' Li Yiming was baffled. It was no surprise that Wukong could create clones of himself or go invisible, since that was part of his skillset in the actual game. However, he did not recall Wukong having the ability to teleport.
