Chapter 17: Exhibition Match (Part I)
That night, outside the south gate of the imperial capital.
The huge amphitheater was brightly lit tonight, with countless gas lamps illuminating the stands and arena. In the middle of the arena hangs a spherical source energy device, powered by rare source stones, the sphere radiates like the sun in all directions, illuminating the entire arena as if it were day, and the light reflected in the night sky above the arena can be seen from miles away.
The streets around the arena have been blocked by thousands of steam trucks of all kinds, and many dignitaries from the inner city can only lower their bodies and stoop to the arena on foot under the protection of their entourage, leaving the anxious drivers to continue to fight in the traffic jam.
The circular grandstand holds 100,000 spectators, and hundreds of vendors carry baskets through the aisles full of seats, laboriously selling tobacco, drinks and snacks. But their cries, and the conversations of 100,000 people, were silenced by a single voice.
This voice came from the host standing in the field, and through the hand-held source stone amplification equipment, his passionate words were amplified into everyone's ears by the megaphone:
"Ladies and gentlemen, ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the final of the 67th Conqueror's Cup Imperial Transcendental Tournament. The two sides in the final were:
The traditional powerhouse has won the championship many times, from Cologne, the capital of the Duchy of Saxony, the Rangers!
And, the biggest dark horse of this competition, from the small northern city of Montpellier, the puzzle team!
Prior to the race, as is customary, we also arranged two heads-up exhibition matches with contestants from the Royal Academy of the Imperial Capital and the Great Bell Academy of Lendinium.
Today is also a day for our whole country to celebrate, it is the birthday of our great, wise, diligent and loving emperor, let us ...... together"
......
When the host was talking about the opening remarks, at the entrance of the contestants' entrance passage, a young man wearing Mithril soft armor holding a helmet and a spear, leaning against the door, tilted his head to look at the royal seats on the side of the arena, and chatted absentmindedly with the middle-aged man standing respectfully beside him.
The middle-aged man lowered his head and whispered to the young man: "Your Royal Highness the Second Prince, it has been confirmed, the alien beast arranged for the first performance is an adult ironclad beast from the edge of the Misty Mountain, which is strong and weak, which is just right for you to play." This opening performance will definitely leave a deep impression on His Majesty the Emperor. ”
The young man replied, "Master Odoka, call me François when there are no outsiders." I've been studying with you since I was eight years old, and it's been ten years now, and the person on stage has seen me less than 20 times in the past ten years, once every six months, haha.
His attention was on my brother Charles. Charles and he had learned the art of checks and balances, and his cautious appearance became more and more annoying to me. Small means can't change the general trend, what the royal family needs is legions, and it is necessary! If the war is ......"
Odoka interrupted the apprentices who were nervous in time, "Your Royal Highness Second Prince, be cautious! You must know that in the past two hundred years, any prince, prince or even emperor who wants to forcibly reclaim the power of the three principalities will not live long. Please keep your thoughts in mind, our first step is to fight for the right to inherit the throne. Oh, the host is done rambling, it's almost you, put on your helmet. ”
......
The passionate host had withdrawn to the sidelines, only to hear him announce:
"Now, please welcome with a round of applause to the Transcendent Warrior of our opening exhibition match, a sixth-year graduate from the Imperial Capital Royal Source Energy Academy, Star ...... Uh, Star Dancer.
Our spear-wielding warrior wears a traditional Legion helmet and is dressed in Mithril Light Armor and Mithril Combat Boots.
Judging by the equipment and clothing, the fighting style of this little warrior under the pseudonym Star Dancer should be the fighter route. Dancer, I think the agility of a warrior using this word should be very high.
Representing the performers sent by the Royal Academy, the highest level of the Imperial Academy, I am sure that this eighteen-year-old little sculptor will bring a wonderful dance to the people of the Imperial Capital!"
"Let's go on and take a look at the supporting characters of this exhibition match, from the inaccessible Foggy Mountains in the Northern Regions, dressed in copper skin and iron bones...... Oh, I'm sorry, but I just received a notice from the organizing committee that the beast in the exhibition match has changed.
Oh...... This adult silverback ape, three meters five meters tall, explosive, fast, and its thick forelimbs can kill a senior awakened person with one punch.
We, who should be the performers of the newcomers, are still very dangerous to face the silverback ape alone, the fighting styles of the two sides are very similar, the star dancers are at a disadvantage in terms of physical strength and source energy reserves, and the hope of victory lies in the use of source energy skills. Although silverback apes are relatively rare, everyone also knows that their source energy attribute is fire, which is ...... with their fiery temper."
The host was still introducing the strange beasts that participated in the heads-up, and at this time, the second prince François in the center of the field and Odoka outside the field were cold in their hearts, and they were overshadowed, and the strange beasts changed from the ironclad beast restrained by the second prince to the silverback ape that restrained him.
François shook his head, staring intently at the door of the animal cage slowly opening opposite, and thought, "Since you are here, you must win, win to the man on the stage!"
With a whistle in the middle of the field, the door of the cage was completely opened, and with the words of the host and the shouts of the 100,000 people in the audience, François rushed at full speed towards the silverback ape in the cage who had not yet poked its head out, and he needed to inflict heavy damage on the giant beast in the first attack.
Seeing the star dancers attacking, the host excitedly began to explain:
"The Star Dancer is speeding up and running, and the source energy is fluctuating! He uses the source energy technique in the run, and he can't do it without countless exercises. The Star Dancer used the Ice Wall Technique, he was a Water Shaper! The Star Dancer released the Ice Wall not far in front of the beast cage, what was he going to do? This ice wall just blocked the Silverback Ape's view. ”
The Star Dancer leaped up, stepped onto the ice wall, and made a double jump! The Star Dancer held his gun in both hands and attacked the beast from above. ”
"Oh, alas! The sudden shot was blocked by the silverback ape's outstretched left arm, and the spear pierced its left forearm, but did not penetrate the vital point. ”
"Oh no! The spear won't be drawn, the Stardancer is thrown away, and he loses his weapon. The silverback ape was injured, and it directly started a 'blood boil'. It's a fire-based melee fighting skill, and it's sacrificing lives for speed and attack power, and it seems that the silverback wants a quick victory.
It continued to cast the 'Fire Armor', and the sharp-eyed viewer should be able to see that the Silverback Ape's Fire Armor is different from our common Fire Armor, it only wraps the upper body and arms, after all, the Silverback Ape's main weapons are its arms. ”
"The Star Dancer who was thrown out also performed the Source Energy Technique while the Silverback Ape was using his skills. Damn, worthy of the Royal Academy, the Star Dancer has unleashed a rare domain skill - 'Frozen Earth'!"
"This ability freezes the ground within a few meters of the caster, filling the air with a chill. Enemies who enter the realm will not only suffer from constant frostbite, but it will also be difficult for them to stand on their feet, and the Star Dancer himself will have a certain bonus when he casts the water source energy skill of the ice branch in the realm. ”
"Now we can see that the range of the Star Dancer's domain is about ten meters in radius, which is still very dangerous, and the silverback ape can easily jump over a distance of ten meters.
We can see that the silverback is chasing the star dancer, the star dancer is dodging very fast, he is not only dodging the attack, but at the same time he is casting spells, throwing and attacking the silverback ape, what is he throwing? how does it feel like a snowball fight. ”
"I can see clearly, the star dancer is throwing a water bomb for the water awakener's entry skill, and the water bomb hitting the giant beast is simply a mosquito bite, and it can't extinguish the fire armor on its body.
Open the field, but also dodge the attack, it is already very difficult to release the water bomb to return fire, the star dancer throws not the water bomb, but the attitude!"
