Chapter 144: Simple (Sixth Update!)
PS: The fingers of the wasteland are all wasted today, and it is estimated that it can only be 2 more tomorrow, crying. In the climax stage, ask for a monthly pass, ask for a recommendation, and ask for a full booking. It's uncomfortable, the recommended ticket is cut in half today, and the subscription can't go up.

Thirty minutes later, William Jacques walked out of the ring looking dejected.
He had just experienced a crushing defeat, and instead of succeeding in his initial assault plan, he fell into the trap of the other side because he was too aggressive. In the case that the strength was not as good as the opponent, the two sides only had 27 rounds, and the opponent simply came to a 'frontal heavy blow'.
After that, William completely switched from offense to defense, but this was falling into the hands of the other party. The Shadow Artist is a profession that is stronger in attack than defense, and under the methodical pressure of his opponent, William Jacques suffered two more three-point 'side hits' and a six-point 'critical hit' in the ring before he survived three minutes.
"What the hell was I thinking on stage? Am I crazy?"
After William walked to Li Mochen's side, he thought in pieces, falling into self-doubt: "I'm so stupid, according to the previous rhythm, even if I would lose, I wouldn't lose so badly, it wouldn't be 0:15." I'm not fit to be a professionalβ"
Li Mochen laughed: "Don't be so upset William, you did a good job, I estimate that soon, Nathan will give you a sponsorship contract." It's not the top of the line, but it's better than nothing. β
The key is that in the last 35 rounds, William was able to wake up in time, and in the following period, William played quite beautifully. Although he was also mostly defensive, his several counterattacks also made the opponent quite embarrassed, and in the end, he still relied on his cultivation that was stronger than William's, as well as the strength advantage of his own profession, to forcibly take William down.
But the latter shows potential, and anyone who has seen it will be impressed.
"Will it?"
William's eyes lit up slightly, and then he shook his head with a wry smile: "Amo, you don't have to comfort me, I know my own affairs, they will definitely not sign me, my performance on stage is a piece of shit." β
Li Mochen thought to himself, what do you know, you know? A ball of shit is real. But at this time, he had no time to care about William's affairs. Just because at this time, there was another broadcast in the gymnasium: "The fourth game of A3 Channel, Rachel College James Lancet VS Linden College Andre Lee Wildenstein, started at 3:25ββ"
It's 3:20, just five minutes away, and his battle with James Lancet will begin.
At this moment, the entire Storm Stadium suddenly resounded with an explosion-like noise, and many of the spectators in the surrounding stands were roaring hoarsely, sending out a tsunami-like sound wave, surging, wave after wave.
And it wasn't long before the sound came together again.
"Double Sword Prince! Double Sword Prince! Double Sword Prince!"
All the stands shouted Double Sword Prince in unison.
As James Lanster stepped onto the ring three in a shining silver armor and waved his hand in all directions, the shouts from the stands rose another step, and the majestic momentum seemed to collapse the entire stadium.
"He looks like a superstarβ"
William looked at this scene with shocked eyes, and began to worry about Li Mochen again: "Amo, don't be affected by them, do you know? These people are betting on James and don't really like him. β
"Then they didn't have the strength to shout. β
It was Carl Holden who spoke, and at some point, he came to their side again: "As I told Amo just now, your opponent is likely to hide his strength, and even use some means outside the rules. But now, we can be sure that the other party used a forbidden potion, a potion called the seventh version of the 'Dragon's Heart', which is the latest model of Shadow Studios. β
"Forbidden potions?"
William looked at Carl Holden in surprise: "Since it's a violation, shouldn't it be reported to the tournament committee?"
Carl laughed: "Of course, it can't be detected by the current technology, and it is said that many professional players are using it, and it can probably increase their combat effectiveness by one to two percent." The only drawback of this thing is that it can easily lead to emotional out-of-control in the case of violent emotional fluctuations. So Amo, you'd better be careful. β
William's complexion changed slightly, and he already had a preliminary sense that there might be darkness beyond his imagination beneath the glossy exterior of the NMOSA (National Integrated Cold Weapon Fighting Federation).
Li Mochen looked at the opponent in the ring fixedly, and then grinned: "Don't worry, I won this battle, his movements were a little stiff and uncoordinated." It should be that I took too much medicine and then exercised not in place. β
Carl and William were both slightly stunned and looked at James Lanster on the stage.
The movements are stiff and uncoordinated? Is there? You can't see it at all?
"I actually used a forbidden drug, so I was more at ease. β
Li Mochen also put on his armor and stepped on the stairs here with his sword: "Is the most humiliating way? I will do it." β

"My Trolley Evaluator reported to me that James Lanster's movements were a little stiff, and even after taking the 'Dragonheart' potion, he could only improve to a limited extent. β
In the No. 3 box in the stands, Alec Bruder of Penguin Betting held a telescope in his hand and smiled: "He is the type who prefers strength and speed, plus he has decent fighting skills and combat awareness, and he is very tough and tricky at the stage below level ten." But his speed is uncontrollable, and Andre's control is completely different. β
"He's very discerning! Our appraiser has also made a report on this matter. They thought that if Andre had loosened his grip on accuracy a little, he could actually reach a speed of 870 kilometers per hour, but he just didn't want to do that. β
Dwight Peyton was also holding a high-powered telescope: "Can you tell me about how much your Penguin Company is going to make this time?"
"It's a trade secret!"
Alec pursed his lips, but then he laughed: "The total amount of bets is 1.7 billion gold dong, and it is still growing. Although there are some smart people who bet on Andre, but the amount is not much, I have to thank you Dwight, you kept Andre's test footage and data very secret, and let Arcadis help us. The influence of the big conglomerates is not comparable to us, and they can even mobilize the power of all six major news groups. But is that really okay with you, Dwight? That way, a lot of people will hate Andre. β
"It's their problem, and Andre has always said to the media that he has the chance to win. β
Dwight said unconcernedly: "There are only a few people who will really participate in betting, and Andre's image is more suitable for attracting women and minors." β
"Shit, I guess you're going to let the media scold us and put the blame on us, right? But the president of the NMOSA is going to love him, and they're always trying to get more women to watch the game. β
At this time, Alec looked at the telescope again at another box diagonally opposite.
Even though it was a one-way glass, Alec had his own secret method and was able to observe the movement inside: "It seems that our Mr. Archibald President is in a good mood, ha, they even prepared Victory Champagne." Dwight, you should look at his face now, as if you thought he had won?"
"I can't see it, but I can guess it. β
The corners of Dwight's lips fine-tuned: "Andre has already taken the stage, this is the center of the stage, isn't it?"
