Chapter 139

Xia Yuan didn't merely click on the icon like other players; he actually walked in a particular direction, aiming to explore the boundaries of this virtual space.

After walking tens of meters, Xia Yuan realized that although he continued moving forward, his position seemed unchanged. The distance between the two icons behind him remained constant. It dawned on him that perhaps the icons moved along with him.

Helplessly, Xia Yuan abandoned the idea of further exploration and returned to the two icons. After some consideration, he clicked on the icon resembling a small tower.

Instantly, the scene shifted to a black space with two small structures visible: a small arena and a small tower. Xia Yuan opted for the arena.

"You have selected the arena mode. Since no opponent has been selected, do you want to activate the mirror challenge?"

The term "mirror challenge" puzzled Xia Yuan, but he agreed nonetheless.

"Arena mode incurs a charge of one hundred Lingjing. Do you wish to proceed?"

Though somewhat surprised by the charge, Xia Yuan nodded. For him, Bai Lingjing was a negligible expense.

"Successfully activated. Map loaded, mirror generated, and map transmission initiated..."

In an instant, Xia Yuan found himself in a volcanic area within the game, with his cultivation mirroring that of reality. Lava flowed all around, flames burning incessantly.

Noticing a mall-like icon in the upper right corner of the interface, Xia Yuan clicked on it, revealing a translucent light curtain displaying various weapons and realm-related information, all free of charge.

Choosing a heavenly sword, Xia Yuan then initiated the mirror challenge.

As he confirmed his decision, another Xia Yuan, identical in appearance and wielding a heavenly sword, materialized before him.

Surprised at first, Xia Yuan quickly grew excited. "Hahaha, so this is the mirror mode? How intriguing!"

"I wonder if this mirror image is truly identical to me!"

Without hesitation, Xia Yuan launched himself forward, the ground cracking beneath him as he moved like a phantom.

The ground ruptured, spewing scarlet lava, as Xia Yuan's figure and his mirrored counterpart clashed.

The mirrored Xia Yuan remained indifferent but reacted swiftly, meeting the attack head-on.

The collision resounded with a deafening boom, sending shockwaves rippling through the area. The impact triggered volcanic eruptions all around, painting the sky with crimson lava.
