The Top Swordsman in the Holographic World

In everyone's eyes, Bai Wu was timid, insecure, and weak, a walking collection of negative traits. The words he said most often were "I'm sorry," "My apologies," and "Excuse me."

But no one knew that this very same person had once been the greatest swordsman in the holographic online game world of the Wilds Continent.

In the virtual world, Bai Wu was exceptionally skilled and cold and indifferent by nature. His silver-white flexible sword was a masterpiece in his hands. Wherever he went, it wove a web of swordlight, sending countless stars falling from the sky. Countless people tried to imitate him, but no one could surpass him.

Unfortunately, this genius suffered a severe attack on his mental body during a guild competition. He was logged out and could never log back in.

Since the launch of the holographic online game The Wilds, BlankW had topped every major leaderboard. At last, he fell from his pedestal.

Jiang Zhi claimed to be BlankW's disciple. Supposedly, he possessed immense spiritual power and was a master of witchcraft, capable of bringing the dead back to life. In the world of The Wilds, there was no one he couldn't heal. Yet this support player was obsessed with swordsmanship, stubbornly convinced that he only couldn't learn the sword because he hadn't found a good enough master.

Then, one time when he logged in, he watched a newbie wielding a rusty level-one iron sword instantly kill a level-three Wilds wolf. From that moment on, he never looked back on his quest to find a master and learn the art of the sword.

After three years of recuperation, Bai Wu finally got his head back in order. He thought back to the days when others had bullied him, then glanced at the boy beside him, who called himself his disciple and protected him like a little chick. His gaze darkened.

Isn't this the school bully who was always picking on him and treating him like a lackey in the real world?!
