Ning shot forward again, closing his distance with the young man in front of him.
The young man, now having seen Ning's way of fighting, also went forward to close their distance. Instead of being the one running away, he wanted to face Ning at his own game.
When the two of them got close, Ning suddenly pulled the trigger, shooting the young man. However, the young man was prepared for this, so he easily dodged it by propelling himself upward.
Ning pointed up and shot again, but the young man changed direction one more time, dodging the shot.
The two of them passed each other without neither being shot, so they turned around and started blasting at each other again.
The more Ning fought, the better he got. The incredible talent he had bought from the system allowed him to master the maneuverability he could do with the guns at an incredible speed.
And with his ability to slow down time, his reaction speed was so fast that he dodged every attack.
The same however could not be said about the young man at all.
Very soon, Ning ran circles around the young man, frustrating him to no end. He propelled himself at the young man at incredible speed and dodged the attacks along the way.
He didn't shoot a single time and only used his guns to speed himself up. At some point, he arrived right in front of the young man who was ready to shoot him up close, and in an incredible show of feat, Ning instantly changed his direction to go downwards, canceling all the momentum he had been carrying.
The young man was awestruck with how easily Ning changed his direction. Then, he heard a gun go off from out of his vision.
He instantly shot himself around to dodge and looked at where Ning had gone to, but to his surprise, he was missing.
The man turned his head a full 180 degrees from left to right and up to down, but he didn't see anyone around him.
'Where did he go?' the young man wondered. 'Behind?'
He immediately turned around, but no one was there. He turned around again, but no one was there too.
It was only when he turned around the third time did he notice the smaller strip of cloth floating away. Ning was behind him the entire time, but he was so good that the man simply could see him anymore.
Ning chuckled from behind, letting the young man know he was there and that he was watching his every move.
The young man did whatever he could to turn around to Ning, but the most he was was just his cloth.
Then, a gun shot, and the young man saw his armor go from Yellow to Red. He had lost.
Ning finally arrived from behind him and showed a mocking expression. "I thought you would be quite good at this, given it was you all who challenged me. And yet, you lost to a first-timer. Tsk, tsk, tsk," he said.
"Cease your lies. There is no way you played this for the first time. You made me think you were a newbie and took advantage of my lack of judgment," the young man said.
"What? No way you're going to tell me I cheated here too right?" Ning asked.
"My turn!" someone else came from the side and the young man was forced to leave in a fit of anger.
Ning chuckled even as he went out and started his match with the newly arrived person.
As soon as the match started, Ning shot toward the girl and got behind her. Once he was there, there was no way for her to see him again or even target him.
As such, without even the least bit of hassle, he beat the girl and moved on to the next set of opponents.
One by one, the ones that wanted to humiliate him flew down and were beaten down easily.
The more they fought in the matches, the more they realized how good Ning was in it. It was almost as if they had fallen into his trap and that this was all his plan from the beginning.
Ning on the other hand was having the time of his life, moving around using the guns. He could surely fly on his own, but he was playing by the rules.
The last man to come down to the battlefield was the one that originally accused him of cheating. It was the man with purple wings.
Even without them, he didn't look that far off as he seemed to have made very few changes to his in-game character.
They fought for 2 rounds, and while Ning did find this one to be the hardest of all, he was still able to defeat the man in less than 5 minutes.
The young man had a disappointed look on him and he sighed. "Ok, you defeated us," he said. "So we will give up on accusing you of cheating… for now," he said.
"For now? What will you do later on?" Ning asked curiously.
"Later, I will defeat you in the game and prove that you really are cheating," he said.
"Oh, I will look forward to that then," Ning said.
"Don't worry, you won't have to wait for too long," the young man said. "Once the game allows us neutral factions to use more skills, I will come to defeat you."
"More skills?" Ning looked confused. "What more skills?"
"You don't know?" the young man asked. "Very soon, the game is going to add more variety of skills, better skills for the neutral faction and that is going to help us all a lot."
"Oh…" Ning was surprised. He hadn't heard about it yet. "Good luck then."
Once it was all over, the group left the dome and went back home. Ning too left the place and went back to his room on the other side of the station and went back into the game.
