Chapter 43: THE GREATEST SIGMA SHOWDOWN
RUNNING FOR HIS LIFE (IT'S GIVING SKIBIDI TOILET SPEEDRUN)
Bai Ning Bing sprinted like a TikToker caught cheating in a Valorant tournament.
"FANG YUAN, YOU—" His mind screamed with sigma male rage as blood dripped from his nose, ears, and eyes (Shadow Bond Gu damage be wildin').
Behind him, Fang Yuan chased like a Walmart employee after a shoplifter.
"KEEP RUNNING, BOZO. YOUR RIZZ IS FADING FASTER THAN A FORTNITE SEASON!" Fang Yuan taunted, flicking moonblades like they were free V-Bucks.
Bai Ning Bing, desperate, whipped out the Plunder Gu and YEETED it at Fang Yuan.
"HERE, TAKE THIS L + RATIO!"
Fang Yuan caught it—insta-refined it (Spring Autumn Rizz is way too OP).
Bai Ning Bing: "WHAT THE ACTUAL GYATT?!" (Bro's malding over Fang Yuan's hacker-level Gu refinement speed.)
QING SHU SQUAD ROLLS UP (IT'S GIVING NPC REINFORCEMENTS)
Suddenly—five Gu Masters appeared, led by Gu Yue Qing Shu (clan's glazed-up sigma).
Fang Zheng (Fang Yuan's Lil Bro): "BIG BRO?! YOU'RE CHASING BAI NING BING?!"
Qing Shu's squad: "NAH, THIS AIN'T REAL. FANG YUAN COOKING BAI NING BING?!"
Fang Yuan, grinning like a supervillain: "LITTLE BRO, HELP ME CLAP THIS FROZONE LOOKIN' ASS!"
Bai Ning Bing, cornered like a Twitch streamer in a ban wave:
"FINE. YOU WANT A SHOW? HERE'S A SHOW."
ICE ARM GO BOOM (IT'S GIVING DEMON SLAYER FINAL FIGHT)
Bai Ning Bing's right arm GLOWED blue.
Fang Zheng: "Uh oh."
BOOOOOOM.
His arm detonated like a failed OnlyFans career, covering the mountain in frost.
Trees? Frozen.
Ground? Frozen.
Bai Ning Bing? Frozen in a sigma male ice cocoon (low-key HIM).
Qing Shu's squad: "WE CAN TAKE HIM!"
Fang Yuan, already dipping: "LOL. GLHF."
FANG ZHENG'S CRISIS ARC (REAL SIDE CHARACTER NOW)
Fang Zheng: "WE CAN'T JUST LEAVE! HE'S WEAK NOW!"
Qing Shu: "Fang Zheng… you should leave."
Fang Zheng: "BUT—"
Random Elder (appearing out of nowhere like a Discord mod): "Nah, stay. Watch how REAL Gu Masters fight."
Fang Yuan (off-screen): "This elder's about to get COOKED." (top tier foreshadowing)
ICE PRISON ESCAPE
Bai Ning Bing burst from his icy cocoon like a glitched speedrunner, his missing arm glistening with sigma rage.
"FANG YUAN! WHERE ARE YOU HIDING, COWARD?!" His voice cracked with mald energy as blood dripped from his eyes (Shadow Bond Gu diff too real).
The clan elder tried to lecture him about alliances, but Bai Ning Bing just stared at his stump like it owed him money.
NORTHERN DARK ICE SOUL UNLOCKED (GYATT DAMN HE BUILT DIFFERENT)
His Rank 3 aura exploded like a broken Hydro Flask:
Primeval Essence: Regenerating faster than Twitch chat spam
Ice Blades: Now with 200% more edge
Downside: Literally speedrunning his own death
Fang Zheng, watching from the NPC zone: "Why does losing an arm make him look COOLER?!"
QING SHU'S TREEMAN TRANSFORMATION (IT'S GIVING ENTS FROM LOTR)
Qing Shu: "Guess I have no choice but to do this."
Qing Shu popped the Wood Charm Gu like it was an OP gacha pull:
Skin → Bark armor (damage reduction +100)
Hair → Vine dreads (+50 style points)
Final Form: 3-meter-tall Tree Sigma
Bai Ning Bing: "You really turning into a whole forest for this?"
Qing Shu: "Someone's gotta carry these noobs."
ICE BLADES VS VINE WHIPS
The battlefield became a TikTok trend:
Bai Ning Bing spammed Icicle Storm like a Valorant smurf
Qing Shu countered with Giga Vine Snakes (DPS build)
Environment: Absolutely demolished (RIP those trees)
Fang Yuan (spectating): "This is better than Netflix."
CLIMAX: ULTIMATE ABILITIES (IT'S GIVING ANIME FINALE)
Bai Ning Bing's Final Move:
"Blue Bird Ice Coffin Gu - MAX COPE OUTPUT!"
The icy bird grew to eagle size (Northern Dark Ice Soul diff too strong).
Qing Shu's Sigma Play:
Tanked the hit while activating Root Binding - vines shooting out like:
"GET OVER HERE!"
Fang Yuan's Commentary:
"Qing Shu really chose permanent tree life for this W."
AFTERMATH
Qing Shu: 87% tree now (still kinda hot?)
Bai Ning Bing: No arm, all mald (Sigma grindset)
Fang Yuan: Stole 5 rare Gu worms DURING the fight (Absolute menace)
Casualties:
3 Gu Masters (skill issue)
1 elder (got diffed)
Fang Yuan's Prediction = Correct
BRO REALLY JUST REALIZED PEOPLE DIE?
Fang Zheng sprinted in like a lost puppy, tears already pre-loaded.
"LORD QING SHU!!" He wailed, immediately getting pin-needled by the now-feral treeman Qing Shu.
Fang Zheng: "It's me! Your favorite NPC!"
Qing Shu: Silence. Just more pin needles.
Turning to Fang Yuan with puppy-dog eyes: "Big bro...?"
Fang Yuan: Ignores him, already looting like a Walmart on Black Friday
LOOTING SIMULATOR 5000 (FANG YUAN'S SHOPPING SPREE)
Fang Yuan activated Plunder Gu with sigma male precision:
First Pull: Red Steel Relic Gu (insta-refined with Spring Autumn Cicada rizz)
Second Pull: Stone Aperture Gu (yoink)
Third Pull: Water Shield Gu (defense stats go brrr)
Bai Clan Reaction:
"STOP HIM!!"
"HE'S LOOTING LIKE THIS IS AN MMORPG!!"
"MY BROTHER IN CHRIST THAT'S OUR CLAN'S LEGENDARY GU—"
TREE FALLS IN THE FOREST (QING SHU'S FINAL MOMENT)
The Bai Clan finally beat the raid boss, freeing Bai Ning Bing from his wooden timeout corner.
Bai Ning Bing's Status:
Missing arm ✅
All loot stolen ✅
Ego shattered ✅
Fang Yuan's Tally:
3 rare Gu worms acquired
0 fucks given
Already planning next sigma move
FUNERAL SCENE 😭 😭 😭
Rain poured like Twitch emotes in a drama stream.
Fang Zheng: Kneeling at Qing Shu's grave, hands full of mud
"WHY DO GOOD DIE YOUNG??" (First time facing mortality speedrun any%)
Bai Ning Bing: Staring at ceiling
"What's the point of living...?" (Sigma male existential crisis unlocked)
Gu Yue Bo: Drops tragic backstory
"Fang Zheng, Qing Shu asked the same thing once..." (FLASHBACK INCOMING)
