It is true that Smith, as one of the seeded players, is certainly not weak in the hope of the North American region.

But this is for most of the contestants, if they are compared among the top players, he probably belongs to the middle and lower levels.

At least, there is still some gap between him and a player of Beth's level.

Don't think that Beth in the late Jindan and Wu Xinyu in the mid-Jindan were tied, you can think that the mysterious Beth who has always held the record of second kills is nothing more than that.

In fact, Beth's horror is far beyond most people's imagination.

They just saw that Beth and Wu Xinyu were both exhausted in the end, but they didn't know the specific process and thrill at all.

Of course, this is not to blame them, if Xia Ping himself is not one of the insiders, I am afraid he does not know the inside story. Among all the people present, I'm afraid only the god of justice and a few bigwigs can see it clearly.

Looking at the expression of the god of justice who seemed to be smiling at the moment, Xia Ping was absolutely sure that he had seen something, and the reason why he didn't make it clear on the spot was just out of his own bad taste.

Because there is a repechage match for the next defeated player, Wu Xinyu is probably on the same level as Smith after using the secret technique, and there is no chance to challenge the top-seeded player again.

Beth was different, except for a little detachment, she didn't suffer any injuries at all. With her form and her strength, it is not particularly difficult to fight her way out of the repechage.

Perhaps the god of justice saw this, so he didn't say anything about Beth's strength.

Because once the opponent knows Beth's true strength and chooses to target her specifically, it will be too unfair to her.

"You still dare to play with me, it seems that you still don't understand the true strength of the seeded players. ”

Smith's voice finally pulled Xia Ping's thoughts back.

Seeing Xia Ping come back to his senses, Smith continued: "Do you know? Although they are both seeded players, there is still a big gap in strength between seeded players. ”

"Beth Saint is very strong, but in fact, she is only in the middle and lower reaches of our seeded players. If you use her strength as a reference against me, you would be very wrong. ”

Looking at Smith's confident smile, Xia Ping was speechless for a while, I didn't put you and Beth Saintess on the same level. It's just the opposite of what you said.

Of course, Smith is a seeded player after all, and he still has the strength. And he is in the middle of Jindan, a small realm lower than him, so in this game, he still has to take out twelve points to face it.

In fact, when he first wanted to participate in the competition, he only relied on the puppet of Yao Ji's predecessor.

And when Xia Ping really stood here, he really realized that the feeling of standing here in person was completely different from manipulating the puppet.

Maybe that's what it's called a sense of honor.

Xia Ping is not the kind of pedantic person, but at this moment, he has a feeling that he wants to prove himself. Not just prove it to others, but more importantly, prove it to yourself.

Even if you don't use any external force, you are still qualified to stand in this ring.

"Ten Thousand Thunder Heavenly Lead!"

"Earth Spirit!"

Xia Ping and Smith seemed to have discussed in advance, and they launched an attack on the enemy in unison.

I saw Smith wave his hand, and a thick dark cloud with a radius of ten kilometers suddenly shrouded the air above the ring. But the outside of the ring is still sunny and beautiful, and I don't feel a little oppressive feeling at all.

It can be seen that Smith's mastery of his abilities has reached a level of nuance. It's not that he doesn't have the strength to expand the thunderclouds, but to save his spiritual power. These spiritual powers may not seem worth mentioning, but they add up to a lot, and who can guarantee that this spiritual power will not become the key to the final victory?

"Boom!"

Almost at the moment when the thundercloud formed, thousands of thunder snakes rushed out of the thundercloud like ten thousand snakes coming out of a hole, and the dazzling thunder reflected the sky above the ring dazzlingly.

At the same time, a towering hand rose from the ground above the ring, and its huge palm was opened, covering a large area of thunderclouds in the sky.

I already knew that this thundercloud had a radius of 10 kilometers. This level of big hands is really worthy of the name of covering the sky with one hand.

"Boom!"

The towering hand finally met the thunder in the sky, as if the endless thunder and lightning were just a moment of effort, and the great hand of rock that seemed to be the hand of a god was shattered.

But this towering hand also touched the thunderclouds at this moment, and with a slight stirring, the thunderclouds in the sky were swept away.

Without the condition of thunderclouds, even Smith, a thunderbolt awakener, would not be able to create such a huge thunderbolt out of thin air.

So the moment the thunderclouds dissipated, the terrifying thunder light immediately died down.

However, the thunderbolt is gone, but the giant hand remains, even if it has long been shattered, but the sheer size alone is enough to be daunting.

"The earth spirit has been summoned, Patronus!"

Xia Ping would not let go of such a good opportunity, and with a light snort, the form of the broken rock big hand immediately changed. In the blink of an eye, a rock giant whose size was not inferior to the previous big hand appeared in the arena.

The arena, which was originally very wide, turned out to be a little narrow in front of this rock giant, and even the rock giant could walk out of the arena as long as he took a step.

"Hmph, how can you hit me with such a huge size!"

Facing the rock giant with no end in sight, Smith didn't show any panicked expression on his face.

Because he was right, his size was not even an ant in front of this huge giant. With this difference in size, Smith only needs to hide in a corner of the rock giant's body at will, and the rock giant has no way at all.

Xia Ping didn't speak, just smiled indifferently, and commanded the rock giant to continue the attack on Smith.

"Bang!"

The giant's attack finally landed where Smith had just stood, but Smith had already turned into thunder and lightning, allowing the giant's attack to fly into the air.

The next moment, Smith came to the back of the rock giant's hand: "Come on, see if you can hit me!"

That's another source of Smith's confidence.

He is an elemental ability, and ordinary physical attacks have no effect on him.

No matter how strong the physical attack is, as long as it doesn't hit, it's the same as nothing.

And if you want to manipulate a behemoth of this size, the spiritual power consumed is absolutely astronomical, and even you can't afford to consume it, let alone Xia Ping, who has less spiritual power than herself?

As long as you guide him to attack two more times, his spiritual power will be depleted, and then he will be able to win this game without much effort.

It's just that Smith, who was already immersed in the joy of victory, didn't notice that Xia Ping's expression had not changed from beginning to end.

"Click, click!"

Suddenly, the rocks around Smith suddenly cracked, and dozens of rock figurines, the size of ordinary people, burst out of the cracks, surrounding Smith in the middle.

"Oh, you think a few puppets can restrain me?

Out of confidence in his own strength, Smith didn't even bother to run. He wants to see what these dozen little puppets are going to do with him.

The little golems didn't rush to deal with him, but instead surrounded him in the middle with a strange position, and then one of the rock golems slowly walked towards Smith. Then he threw a slow punch at Smith.

"I don't know what you're thinking, but I'm not going to give you this chance!"

Smith smiled indifferently and stood still in place until the puppet's fist struck him in the face.

That's right, it was hit, and it was hit in the face. Smith who was hit by his fist was confused until he flew out, why could a single rock golem hit him, his elementalization? Also, how could this rock golem have such strength?

While Smith was still in his hair, the rock puppet directly bullied him and punched and kicked Smith.

"Enough!"

After all, he was a seasoned seeded player, and Smith quickly regained his senses. It's a pity that at this moment, he has a blue nose and swollen face, no matter how good it is, it can't make up for the fact that he was beaten by a puppet.

I thought that the player of the Suzaku clan who I met before was already full of ugliness, but I didn't want to suffer such a shameful humiliation today.

"Get out of here!"

I saw that the angry Smith's whole body breathed skyrocketed, and his hands reached forward, trying to crush the puppet that had been chasing him.

But unexpectedly, the puppet deftly dodged Smith's hands, and then continued to chase and beat Smith.

"Ahhhh

The angry Smith seemed to go crazy, and he faced the puppet in front of him with all kinds of lightning skills.

In the face of these skills, even an ordinary Jindan mid-stage has to temporarily avoid the edge.

To everyone's surprise, the puppet chasing Smith didn't seem to be affected at all, and while dodging skills, it was still chasing Smith and beating hard.

And, even more desperately, Smith found that his melee combat could not defeat the puppet. When did a mere puppet have this ability? Or did it?

"You're Xia Ping!"

It was only at this time that Smith suddenly realized that the puppet in front of him was not an ownerless puppet at all, but Xia Ping himself was secretly manipulating.

What rock giant's attack is simply a disguise, deliberately confusing him, this inconspicuous little puppet is the real killer move.

If I guessed correctly, the puppets around me are not decorations, and I am afraid that it is because of them that I can't do elementalization.
