Volume 1: Once Upon a Time in the South, Day 4
With only 32 players left, there were a lot fewer matches, so the brackets were released on the day of the match. As long as the players go to the east and west player area at about 8 o'clock on the day of the competition, they can check their game time.
After the list came out on the fourth day, Lai Wu was very desperate, because his opponent in the next round was Gaver Ressa. Even if Lai Wu is careful, he is helpless when he encounters such a player whose strength completely crushes him.
"What's the point, what's the odds now?" Alvin wouldn't let go of the opportunity to tease Laiwu at all. After all, this is a "courtesy exchange".
"I just looked at it, and it seems that Laiwu won by pressing Laiwu, and it pays about five to one. Chen Zhu smiled and patted Lai Wu's shoulder, "You won't have an upset this time, right?"
"Yes, yes, I won't have to beat him... Lai Wu smiled and said angrily.
"It didn't take him a few tricks to kill him, haha. Keba laughed out loud.
While a few people were eating breakfast, they teased Lai Wu without a word. And Xia Ye, because he was not strong enough to drink last night, he didn't wake up after lying down all night, and now he is still sleeping in the tent that Elwin and the others rented.
Lywu started a little earlier than Erwin's, and both men played in the morning. Waking up early for two days in a row made Chen Zhu complain for a long time, and among the four people, he was the most difficult to get out of bed.
Alvin and Lai Wu had a game right away, so they didn't eat too much, Chen Zhu and Kaiba had always had a good appetite, so much so that later Lai Wu and Irwin didn't wait for the two of them, and went to register to prepare for the game first.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When Lai Wu and Gaver entered, it was not surprising that many young girls cheered for Gaver, and Alvin guessed that Lai Wu must be cursing Gaver madly in his heart at this time.
Alvin looked up at the stands across from him, and when he entered, he saw Lan on the other side. Now she actually looked very interested, "It seems that she still has a consistent dislike for Laiwu", Alvin thought. He looked at the royal stand again, but he didn't see the white-haired figure, and secretly thought that Master Pilo and the princess had come late today.
Gaffer still had the Ink Flame Long Sword in his hand, but he saw him holding the sword in one hand, standing with his hands in his hands, very chic, as if he didn't take Lai Wu in his eyes at all.
Lai Wu responded to the sword with a sword, with a horizontal sword in front of him, looking at the other party vigilantly. Looking at his appearance, he was not so nervous, and there was some implication in his chest, it seemed that he was planning to respond to the sword with a "cheap", and Alvin secretly praised Laiwu's mentality was really good.
The air bomb explodes, and the game begins.
Gaffer kicked the ground with one foot, one hand still behind him, and the tip of the sword was already on Lai Wu's face. "Hmm" the audience let out a burst of exclamations, even those who looked at the audience couldn't keep up with Gaver's figure, let alone those who didn't pay attention.
Lai Wu broke out in a cold sweat, holding his sword straight away, and the moment the two swords clashed, his body was shocked back a few steps. "Why is this power so terrifying?" Lai Wu was surprised in his heart. According to Lai Wu's understanding of Gaver, the other party should be a martial arts that focuses on body methods, otherwise it would be impossible to have such a flexible posture, but as soon as they clashed, Lai Wu felt that the opponent's strength was much stronger than the martial arts of the academy's cultivation power. The tiger's mouth where he held the sword felt a pang of paralysis and pain, and his wrists and arms trembled.
"Looks like Alvin was right, he didn't use his full strength last time. Lai Wu said secretly.
However, how could Gaffer give Lai Wu a chance to breathe, with one foot support, stopping his body, the black flame changed hands left and right, and reflexively swung out a half-moon stab, and the blade went straight to Lai Wu's neck. In the past few days, every time the audience saw Gaver's ghostly swordsmanship, they couldn't help but get goosebumps in shock, because his body movement broke the audience's understanding of martial arts, and it turned out that someone could overcome the inertial movement of the body.
For martial arts, the body is a burden many times, but like Gapho, it is as fast as the wind, not moving like a mountain, and it seems that it is not tired by the body at all, at least after decades of cultivation. However, how old Gaphor is that he has already reached this level, which can't help but be staggering.
Seeing that Gaver's reflexive sword was amazingly powerful, Lai Wu held the hilt of the sword with one hand and the blade with the other, holding the sword body horizontally to meet the black flame.
The tip of the black flame's sword stabbed on the body of Lai Wu's long sword, and with a "ding" sound, I saw Lai Wu bowing his steps, and his body couldn't stop sliding back a few meters, and the soles of his shoes were smoking.
Lai Wu took a few breaths, glanced at the dent on the sword's body, and there was a circle of scorch marks around the dent, and he was immediately shocked, "What a monster." He thought to himself that the blade in his hand was sharpened by drilling copper ore, and when he encountered an ordinary blade, it was either cut or broken, but today he was deflated.
Gaver didn't want to tease Laiwu today, so he made a move to defeat the enemy. He took advantage of Laiwu's retreat, he had already kicked into the air, and the meteors had already come to mid-air, "That's that trick again" Alvin exclaimed in his heart, and sure enough, he saw Gaffer's body flying in the air. The Ink Flame Sword roared and spun in a gorgeous arc in the air, descending from the sky towards the frightened Lai Wu.
Last time, Alvin had already seen this blow that fascinated thousands of girls, and today I see you again, I feel that last time Gaffer still released water, and this sharp sword intent that pierced the air was far more fierce than last time.
Lai Wu looked at the ink flame that fell from the sky, like a black dragon spewing angry flames roaring down, carrying the meaning of wind and clouds, like a thunderbolt, he knew that the other party's move he couldn't stop.
A sinister smile hung on the corner of Lai Wu's mouth, and he raised his long sword to the sky and greeted him.
"Do you want to kill yourself?" a disdainful smile appeared at the corner of Gaver's mouth, he carried a shocking sword momentum, where did he use what move to send Laiwu to death.
Sure enough, as soon as Fang fought, Lai Wu had no power to parry at all, and the long sword in his hand was swept away by Gaver's ink flame twist and flew out. Gaver slashed out four swords at this moment, and Lai Wu didn't have time to dodge at all. Mo Yan left a sword mark on Lai Wu's shoulder, arm, chest, and back. Blood spilled from several wounds.
Just when everyone present thought that Lai Wu's suicide attack ended in failure, they saw him "throw" a dagger out of his waist, squeezed out all his strength and "flew" out.
Gaver was so close to Lai Wu at this time that he didn't have time to restrain his body and dodge. Even Gaver, who controlled his body with great skill in battle, could only stare at the dagger that flew between his eyebrows.
The audience couldn't help but take a deep breath nervously, and many people had already begun to scold Lai Wu for being despicable.
Even Lan Ma, who was in the stands, frowned at the unexpected dagger that rose against the trend.
"Despicable. What kind of indiscriminate means have been made, what should I do if this is going to cost my life?"
"Yes, yes. This should disqualify him. ”
"Disqualification? Disqualification, his results are about the same. ”
Alvin listened to the audience's boos, and sighed in his heart that he didn't expect Lai Wu to make such a big determination.
"If you get stabbed in the face by this dagger, you will definitely break the phase. It seems that Lai Wu is still very annoyed by Gaver's face. Alvin thought to himself.
However, Gava's next move was even more shocking. I saw a pair of blue eyes staring at the sharp dagger, time seemed to be frozen, he felt the murderous aura on the dagger in his teeth and claws, just at the moment when the tip of the blade was about to pierce his eyebrows, he stretched out his left hand like lightning and "pinched". Looking at it closely, in fact, the tip of the blade was only a knuckle distance from the eyebrows, and the screaming dagger was pinched by Gaffer with three fingers motionlessly, which seemed to be sharp and chic, but in fact, if there was the slightest deviation, the whole face would be ruined. This is also the difference in strength between the two. The audience was relieved to see Gaver save the day, and their condemnation of Lai Wu was much quieter.
Seeing Gaver in the air, his clothes fluttering, holding a sword in one hand and a dagger in the other, this ease of elegance made many little girls in the stands feel excited.
Lai Wu sat on the ground, pressed his wound, looked at Gaver's coquettish appearance in mid-air, and couldn't help but spit.
The black-clothed deacon hurriedly raised his hand to signal that Gaver had won.
Gaver fell to the ground and looked coldly at Lai Wu who was sitting on the ground, with a mocking smile on the corner of his mouth.
Lai Wu raised his cheeks and looked at Gaver, without the slightest consciousness of a loser, with a "disapproving" look, the corners of his mouth also arced, and the expression seemed to say, "Even if you are talented and your strength is terrifying, it's not that you almost caught the Tao of Lao Tzu." Two deacons came up and tried to help Lai Wu down, but Lai Wu slapped their hands away coldly, and struggled to get up from the ground with his sword support, completely ignoring the blood oozing from the wound. From his trembling stand up to turning around and leaving, all the way down, Lai Wu didn't mean the contempt of tens of thousands of people at all, and there was a contemptuous smile on his face throughout.
Alvin watched from the stands, he knew that Lai Wu was still unwilling in his heart, recalling the scene when the dagger shot into the sky just now, he couldn't help but sigh secretly, "This is Lai Wu, until the end, you can never predict the result." ”
When Alvin came on the field, he still felt a little emotional in his heart, in fact, if he thought about it carefully, he was still very attached to this stage. He believes that Lai Wu should be like this, even if the two don't have much hope to compete. After all, young people need the affirmation of others, especially Lai Wu and Erwin, who have always been understood as the second ancestors who eat and eat the old, even if they are thick-skinned on weekdays, they still hold back their strength.
Elwin's opponent this time is a martial arts player. Coincidentally, this is the first martial artist he has encountered in this competition.
At the beginning of the competition, the martial arts player blessed himself with a high-level swiftness and frantically entangled in Elwin's close quarters, obviously studying Elwin's previous battles and not giving him a chance to use the light shield.
When facing martial arts players, Alvin generally likes to open up the gap, and then rely on the instantaneous magic of strong tracking to take advantage, which is his usual trick when he practiced repeatedly with Kaiba, Laiwu and others in the past. Now with magic like a light shield, Alwyn hasn't tried to fight martial arts yet.
However, in hand-to-hand combat, facing high-level martial arts players, Alvin is still at a disadvantage. This martial arts player with two knives in his hand has a very solid foundation, picking up, teasing, traversing, and splitting, every move is perfectly connected, and Alwin's instantaneous magic that he was forced to release can't be released, so he can only blindly dodge in a hurry.
The audience was also interested at this time, they thought that Alvin would easily win the opponent, but when they thought of coming up, Alvin fell into a bitter battle. For example, the Ressa siblings, Princess Onian, the matches of these favorites, the audience has been watching for a few days, and they have become bored with that kind of one-sided game. As soon as they saw that Alvin, who was in the limelight in this game, was chased and beaten passively on the field, the audience was still very happy to see this kind of scene. Of course, they hoped that Alvin could win the game, and they hoped that the process would be full of twists and turns, just like the first game between Alvin and Shijiu, and leave the suspense until the end.
If Alvin knew the psychology of the audience, he would probably scold his mother. Because he is not deliberately making the game more interesting for the sake of drama at all, he is really at a disadvantage. The martial arts player in front of him obviously did his homework before the game, the so-called tree is a big move, that's it, if the contestant in this competition is a little famous, he will be studied. What's more, it's a competition that only comes once every three years, and everyone wants to advance to the next round.
Alvin dodged dozens of moves from his opponent, and he hadn't released any magic until now, so he let himself go of a mid-level swiftness technique that was much weaker than his opponent at the beginning, which was still a martial arts skill. It's still embarrassing for a magician to be forced to cast magic.
After dozens of moves, Alvin was already panting, after all, he was a magician, and unlike these martial arts who had tempered his body thousands of times, his physical strength was obviously a little unable to keep up. The magic robe on his body had been cut several times, and he had received more than a dozen knife wounds, but they were only scratches, not fatal.
Seeing that the double knife fighter had the upper hand on the field, it was impossible to give Alvin any respite, and the double knife sometimes held it forward, sometimes reversed, or one straight and one reversed, and used the scimitar's close-quarters skills to the extreme.
What surprised Alvin even more was that his opponent's movements were getting faster and faster, and although he didn't know what martial arts skills his opponent was using, he could clearly feel the lack of some elemental matter around him. Obviously, the opponent can absorb the surrounding elemental matter while fighting, and use it to strengthen his body and strength.
Lan Yu looked at Alwin's embarrassment from the stands, feeling funny, and secretly thought, "Little bastard, what are you going to do now?"
Princess O'Ann, who had just arrived at the venue, was also watching the game from the stands, and she was also relaxed, smiling at how Alvin responded.
Alvin thought that if he continued to fight like this, he would be cut to the ground by the opposite side in a few moves, so he consciously stopped blindly dodging, but dodged the opponent's attack with instinctive reactions in a small area.
Martial arts players are fighting vigorously, subconsciously absorbing material elements, seeing that the power of the double knives in their hands is getting bigger and bigger, winning this game is like looking for something. He held the scimitar left and right for two and a half months in a row, and after forcing Alvin back, he turned around without hesitation, volleyed the blade of the knife, continued a frontal slash, and received a counter-barb with the other hand.
The whole set of killer moves of martial arts players is simply dazzling. Just when the scimitar was about to slash at Alwin's forehead, a fine light flashed in Erwin's eyes, and a smile flashed at the corner of his mouth, "It's now", and with a blow of "Splitting the Sky", he instantly opened the distance between him and the martial arts player, and then more than a dozen instantaneous magic bolts smashed directly at the opponent. This was the first time that Alwyn had used his opponent to absorb the material element in a battle and unleashed the Void Rift.
The martial arts player watched in shock as his twin swords slashed into the air, and before he could recover from the opponent's disappearance in front of him, he ate the dozen or so instantaneous magic tricks raw.
In the frantic blasting of purple magic energy, only the martial arts player could be vaguely seen rolling on the ground for several laps, and a cry of pain came out. Erwin's instantaneous magic is all enhanced by negative states, paralysis, burning, freezing, mental destruction, etc., all of which surged into his body in an instant, even if it is a high-level martial art, the body is a human body after all, where can he eat so many negative states of "ecstasy".
I saw the martial arts player falling to the ground, his hands and feet were twitching wildly, to be exact, if you look closely, except for the normal eyeballs, the whole body is twitching abnormally. He tried to get up, but his hands and feet were no longer at him, and he could only slap the ground with his palms in anger, and then his palms were just shaking up and down twice.
Seeing that the martial arts player was incapacitated, the black-clothed deacon raised his hand to signal Alvin to win.
Alvin couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief, although he was pressed and beaten throughout the game, he finally caught the winner of a thought and successfully turned the tables. Since the last life-and-death battle with Shi Jiu, he began to feel in his heart that the opponents he encountered at the moment were not enough for him to lose the game.
The audience was still a little unpleasant, although Alvin was quite embarrassed to be chased and beaten in front, but in an instant he turned defeat into victory. The emotions they had been brewing for a long time had nowhere to go, and they were still expecting Alvin to use some special moves that he had never seen before.
And very tacitly, looking at someone in the field, the two beauties showed a smile on their faces.
