Warlord's previous actions were extremely chaotic.
Overall, he was very passive.
His dodges and skill releases were always a beat behind.
But as Warlord gradually synced with the background music's rhythm.
His operations became surprisingly smooth.
He dodged the White-Clad Scholar's attacks several times in a row.
The skills he released simultaneously all hit their targets.
"It's amazing."
"This game can actually be played this way."
"Playing a game with background music is so exhilarating."
Warlord grew increasingly confident.
He actually defeated the first stage White-Clad Scholar in one go.
At this moment, Warlord's emotions reached their peak.
"Ah, it really works!"
"I followed the music's rhythm, and I actually passed the first stage White-Clad Scholar!"
"It's so amazing."
Seeing Warlord pause, Professor Liu sent a barrage of comments.
"The composer of this game's background music is definitely a master."
"Their understanding of traditional Chinese music is absolutely professional-level."
"Such good music, such good music. It seems traditional music can truly flourish."
"Games… I never thought I'd hear such soul-stirring music in a game before."
"I guess I had some misconceptions about games."
"By the way, what's the name of this game?"
Looking at the exquisite game graphics, Professor Liu couldn't help but ask.
"Haha, Professor Liu has been caught by the game's allure."
"Teacher, this game is called 'Black Myth: Wukong'. It's really popular recently."
"This is a game developed and produced by a fully Chinese team. Whether it's the art design or the background music, it's pure Dragon Country style."
"Looks like Professor Liu is about to join the bandwagon."
"Right, Professor Liu, I think the deluxe version of 'Black Myth: Wukong' comes with an original soundtrack."
Seeing the barrage in the live stream, Professor Liu's eyes lit up.
"There's an original soundtrack? Excellent, that's good."
"I won't play the game myself, I'm too old, my reaction time isn't fast enough."
"But I can let my grandson play it."
"Even just listening to the background music, you can feel that this game was meticulously crafted."
"It's definitely not a product rushed out."
"The graphics are beautiful too."
"Playing this kind of game, aside from anything else, definitely improves your aesthetic appreciation of art and music."
After seeing Professor Liu's barrage, the viewers in the live stream also exclaimed.
"Speaking of which, Xu Ge, the creator of this game, looks only in his early twenties. How does he manage to be so talented?"
"Before, we only noticed the art design was beautiful. After listening to Professor Liu's words, we realize the game's music is top-notch."
"And the stories on the Shadow God's map are also amazing. You wouldn't be able to write them without reading dozens of notes and strange tales."
"Xu Ge is just too well-rounded."
By now, the White-Clad Scholar in the game had transformed into its second stage, a serpentine form.
Warlord didn't rush forward this time.
Instead, he focused on the background music.
The dense drumbeats, the urgent pipa strings, made Warlord's breathing and heartbeat quicken.
Soon, he was completely immersed in the music.
Nothing around him, not even the barrage in the live stream, could distract him.
This feeling of oneness with the music was very similar to when Warlord was focused on a match during a Go tournament.
'Black Myth: Wukong's' background music had actually allowed Warlord to enter a state of flow.
The battle began.
To the viewers' surprise, Warlord's movements became extremely smooth.
There were even moments that were somewhat aesthetically pleasing.
"Wait, did Warlord switch players?"
"He suddenly got stronger."
"Warlord, I feel so unfamiliar with you."
"I came to watch the entertainment, what are you doing?"
"This dodge...too powerful, what kind of reaction is that?"
"It's so skillful, it makes me feel sorry for him."
"Skillful my ass, this is the first time Warlord has reached the second stage of the White-Clad Scholar."
"Damn, he's been killed ten times before, and he hasn't even seen the snake form."
"That was Warlord's true level. The current Warlord is a manifestation of his martial spirit."
"To be precise, Warlord had an epiphany after Professor Liu's guidance."
…
Amid the barrage of amazement from the viewers.
Warlord's battle with the second stage White-Clad Scholar continued.
Unlike the previous dozen times he died to this boss.
This time, Warlord actually dragged the battle to its end.
Although Warlord's own health wasn't much, the second stage White-Clad Scholar was also down to a sliver of HP.
And at this moment, Warlord had a chance to transform.
Accompanied by a series of urgent pipa strings that made people hold their breath.
Warlord's monkey transformed into a fire wolf.
He unleashed a barrage of attacks, ignoring the White-Clad Scholar's assault.
The fire blades spun, almost perfectly keeping pace with the background music's drums and rhythm.
Finally, the two large characters "Victory" appeared on the screen.
Warlord himself widened his eyes.
He… he won?
Not only Warlord, but the viewers in the live stream couldn't believe it either.
"Wait, am I in the wrong live stream?"
"Is this the Warlord who got killed dozens of times by that big-headed ghost?"
"Could this be Warlord's true level?"
"He's ridiculously strong, no way, Warlord got stronger, won't he lose his hair?"
"The previous person's focus was too bizarre."
"He passed the second stage White-Clad Scholar on the first try? Incredible."
"It seems like following the background music's rhythm is truly a path."
"'Black Myth: Wukong's' background music and gameplay have been integrated to this level?"
"Yeah, I've never experienced this feeling in any other game before."
"It's so amazing, I'm going to try it later."
…
By this time, Professor Liu had exited Warlord's live stream.
He returned to his own.
Because during Warlord's boss fight, Professor Liu had already told his grandson to buy 'Black Myth: Wukong'.
He asked him, only to find out.
He already bought it, and the deluxe edition!
