Arc 2: Conquering Clouds
Chapter 101: 'To Exceed'
Since Rex V Anima appeared on Tuesday afternoon on Bilibili live stream and started playing on Glory on Wednesday and his heavenly domain challenge speedrun– he became an immediate hit on the internet.
Sunday, when he finally completed the heavenly domain challenge speedrun even with God Ye making him repeat his 12-win streak and the 3-win streak against battle mages— his viewers started congratulating him and there were even those who welcomed him and started looking for him when he arrives on the heavenly domain.
Usually, it was expected for players to start killing noobs on the heavenly domain, but this time those players were looking at Grand Caster because they wanted to appear on the live stream and wanted to interact with Grand Caster.
For those who successfully met him, it was as they expected. Grand Caster was a Chuuni from the inside and out.
After meeting him and interacting with him a little bit, those players left. They know that they can't interact with him forever or else they would end up being scolded by the viewers on the live stream.
At first, the reason to watch Rex V. Anima was because of his strange 2D avatar and the mystery behind that appearance, and his real identity.
Humans are always curious creatures. So when an unusual strange 2D Avatar live streamer appeared, they got pulled in.
Most of the viewers who watched as time passed discovered that they were looking forward to watching Rex V. Anima's journey. At the end of the week, after proving his skills and passing the heavenly domain challenge, they became his followers and fans.
Even if Grand Caster isn't still a pro player, he already reached the popularity of a Glory Pro player. No, he even exceeded some of them.
The term Heavenly Domain Challenge Speedrun was also created because of him. Because of him, there would be posts of players recording times of completing each portion of the heavenly domain challenges. A major thread regarding the heavenly domain challenge speedrun would be created and there would be an unofficial leaderboard created. Resulting in a competitive scene when it comes to the heavenly domain challenge.
Whatever may happen in the future, the Status Geyser terrain record would remain unbeatable.

[ March 9, 2021- Tuesday ]
If there was one thing that Zhang Yuan was grateful for in the many things that happened, he was glad that the team conquering clouds wasn't still in the Glory Pro scene.
If it was, their team HQ would be already hounded by reporters. Yesterday he, the Wen twins, Yue Ziqin, Meng Qiangwei, and Hao Junya have also happened to read several news articles from Esports Home and Esports Time talking about Rex V. Anima, Grand Caster, and Team Conquering Clouds.
He was also glad that the Glory Pro Alliance didn't reveal their team HQ's location.
Currently, Zhang Yuan was spending his time reading Esports Time articles in the living room while Meng Qiangwei was eating popcorn and sitting on the floor near the television while watching a foreign Horror Movie the Grudge.
As for Yue Ziqin, he was beside Zhang Yuan sitting on the sofa and clinging to the blanket wrapped around him for dear life. There were even tears in the corner of his eyes.
" Qiangwei! This is too low for you! Remember that we are in a Haunted Apartment, why are you watching a horror movie?! Fuck, you are taunting the ghost to kill us! "
Meng Qiangwei only stuck out his tongue and replied
" Don't be a baby. I am doing this for you to get a desensitized scaredy cat. "
" This would only give me more nightmares and help me not sleep at night! "
Yue Ziqin retorted as he left the sofa and unwrapped the blanket on him while glaring at Meng Qiangwei. The latter remained unbothered and even made a suggestive expression.
" Then it's a good thing that you can enter someone's bed at night to comfort you. How about sister Wen Qianmei? I'm sure she would be glad to welcome you in your arms. "
Yue Ziqin flushed when he heard the suggestion. Zhang Yuan who was reading the Esports Time Article put down the cup of coffee that he drank on the table and left the sofa.
Both Yue Ziqin and Meng Qiangwei look at him curiously.
" Where are you going, Captain? "
Meng Qiangwei asked. Glancing at both of them briefly, but more on the former, Zhang Yuan answered.
" Cool down outside. "
" We have a treadmill... Our little gym is slowly but nicely coming along. "
Yue Ziqin muttered.
" I just want to have some fresh air outside. "
Both Yue Ziqin and Meng Qiangwei retorted.
" That's impossible. "
Shrugging, Zhang Yuan put the magazine down. Before leaving, he glances at Yue Ziqin.
" Let Meng Qiangwei help you Scaredy cat. Even when we are in high school you are like this in our school's test of courage. "
When Zhang Yuan opened the front door to head outside, he smile briefly when he heard Yue Ziqin cursing his name.
In the future, when they make it to the Glory Pro League, there may be times when some reporters may ask them about their team names.
" Why Conquering Clouds? "
" It's appropriate to both of my character's names isn't it Qianmei? Advancing greater heights and conquering the skies. I want a cool and majestic name. "
".. Liar. That's not at all, isn't it? "
" What are you talking about Wen Qianmei? "
" Conquering Clouds – Yué yún zhàndui...
If I separate it into four parts. It meant like this.
To exceed
cloud
fight/war/battle
squadron/team/group... But that's not what it meant for you right?
I know a certain someone in our group who loves double meanings but didn't even bother to change their first name in Glory. "
" Don't talk shit... "
" Pfff... You look so irritated right now. So what is it? To puke, variant of the battle ax, to bend, to cleanse, bright, jump, pearl used in sacrifice, spring imperial ancestral sacrifice, to jump, crossbar for yoking horses, young Phoenix, flute, battle-ax, a shade of trees, key, pleased, high mountain, to speak, to inspect, music, to exceed... You already know the meaning to yourself, don't you? Why don't you entertain me and tell me?
If someone discovered that our team name was a secret love letter would we become a laughingstock? I wonder what is that person's reaction when it was discovered. I am looking forward to both of your reactions. "
When Zhang Yuan made it outside, the guard saw him and greeted him with a nervous expression on his face.
" What is it? "
Zhang Yuan said when he approached the guard. The guard then gestures outside.
" Mr. Yuan, you have a special visitor today. "
" It's not my bastard father, isn't it? "
The guard shook his head. Zhang Yuan glances outside the gate and saw a black car parked outside. The door to the car opened. Two familiar faces got out of the car.
The Secretary of the Chinese Glory Pro Alliance and Feng Xianjun, the current chairman of Chinese Glory Pro Alliance.
