I've Become the King of Villains in the Game

"Hey, Candice!"

A hurried call made Candice look up.

In her line of sight, a young woman, also in a hostess uniform, was walking towards her.

"Ruida, what's up, what's the matter?"

Candice's eyes revealed wariness; this female colleague had once badmouthed her to other guests behind her back, a true Biqi.

"Mr. Charles is giving a public lesson, dueling with a young and handsome gentleman skilled in Knight Swordsmanship! Won't you come and watch? It's really fantastic!"

Ruida vividly described the scene, her eyes sparkling with excitement.

"A lot of people are watching; it's truly a sight to behold!"

Listening to her description, keywords like "black-haired youth," "tall and upright," and "angelic face" suddenly made Candice think of that Mr. Jack.

She hesitated, knowing she was on duty.

But soon she noticed that more and more people were leaving the hall, flocking inside in groups.

She could occasionally hear a few related words by her ear.

These snippets, like little cats jumping into Candice's heart, clawed and tugged, making her unable to withstand the intense curiosity.

Squeak!

She suddenly stood up, the chair making a piercing noise.

"Nevermind! If I'm skipping work, I'm skipping work, just to take a quick look, and then I'll come right back!"

Candice said to herself.

People are like this; once they decide to neglect duties, the initial dilemmas vanish into thin air, turning into relief and ease, even bringing a bit of inexplicable anticipation and excitement.

Candice took strides, rushing energetically inside.

Watching her back, her colleague Ruida scoffed.

"Knew you couldn't resist the temptation, little Biqi... I'll tell Mr. Charles about your truancy later, and see how you explain it."

Candice followed the crowd's flow and ran all the way to the entrance of the open-air training area. As she squeezed in, she saw a multitude of people, crowded in a circle.

"Seems like everyone from the club is here today?!"

Candice thought to herself, secretly astonished.

Clang!

Clang clang clang!

Clang!!

The crisp sounds of metal striking metal, along with bursts of exclamations from the crowd, reached her ears.

Candice finally made her way to the front of the crowd.

When she saw the scene inside, she couldn't help but cover her mouth.

"Oh my god! Sun above!"

The black-haired youth had removed his black coat, revealing a white shirt underneath. He was holding a long sword, intensely battling Mr. Charles.

[Knight Swordsmanship LVMAX (Passive)]!

After adding 4 skill points, this passive skill had maxed out.

At that moment, various techniques of offense, defense, counterattacks, and responses flashed through Chen Lun's mind, very proficiently, as if he had suddenly gained decades of experience in swordsmanship.

He held the sword hilt, thumb rubbing against the anti-slip leather there, feeling quite familiar with it.

Suddenly, he took a lunge step, agilely leaped forward, and his long sword struck at Bales from a tricky angle.

"Nice stroke!"

Bales spoke.

He stepped back, his short sword lightly lifted, intercepting the long sword. Stay tuned to empire

Immediately, his short sword slipped along Chen Lun's arm, swinging upward toward Chen Lun's neck.

Chen Lun ducked, while simultaneously thrusting his shoulder forward, impacting the inside of Bales's arm, causing Bales to stagger back, his blade-light askew.

Their movements were extremely swift, the sword-light overflowing as they exchanged blows.

The long sword and the short sword struck each other, causing sparks to fly.

Sizzle—Clang!

Another clash of swords, but the black-haired youth effortlessly took a step closer, then twisted Charles's short sword with his long sword, following with a backhand elbow to knock on Charles's hand holding the sword.

Bang!

With a clatter, Charles's short sword fell to the ground, shattered into several pieces.

Probably because it could no longer withstand the intense battle.

The black-haired youth's long sword traced a beautiful arc, emitting a piercing whistle, and then steadied itself on Charles's shoulder.

Clang!

The long sword trembled slightly, its sword wind blowing through Charles's hair.

[You have defeated Bales Wolf (Possession State), and earned 3000 experience points!]

The crowd fell into dead silence.

For a long while.

Suddenly, like a pot boiling over, the crowd erupted into loud gasps.

The renowned master of swordsmanship from the Flower Sword Fighting Club, Mr. Charles, had been defeated by an unknown young man!

Among them, a few muscle-bound men who had previously mocked Chen Lun in the training room were now looking shocked, their expressions awkward.

They looked at each other.

"If he wasn't armed, I feel I could still knock him over with one punch..."

"Oh! Get real, Mike, stop kidding yourself... This is just sad!"

Bales disregarded the onlookers' excitement, showing a surprised expression.

"Mr. Jack, to tell you the truth, I am quite astonished..."

He began, then took two steps forward, suddenly stopping.

His eyes sharp, he warned softly:

"This kind of talent you have is very frightening and dangerous... Do not expose it lightly, or it may draw the attention of certain entities."

Chen Lun was momentarily stunned, then earnestly replied:
