At night, west of Vienna, on the Atlantic sea, the moon, stars, and clouds reflect the entire ocean, vast and serene.

In the middle of the sea, there was a man sitting on a chair with a cloud and singing a ballad.

This man's long hair is windless and automatic, floating softly in the night sky like blue waves. A stone slab beside him also floated on the clouds, and this stone slab was carved with the sun, moon and stars, and the pattern appeared vast and vivid in the moonlight.

Dressed in ancient costumes, the vicissitudes in his eyes are better than the mountains and seas. This person is Hao Miao, who has just finished the quarterfinals, and his singing voice is full of sorrow, dyeing the night sky with sadness.

"Freedom in the clouds is as light as a dream, and boundless waves are as thin as sorrow.

People don't sleep, and what kind of sorrow hits the heart.

Looking back on the past, the old man has passed away and I am the only one left.

For whom the achievements of the thousand autumns are kept, and for whom the lonely life is treated.

Looking at the present day, foreign objects are not human with each passing day.

It's hard to be a person, and there is no intention to live in vain.

Sad! sad and sad again. ”

After singing a short song, Hao Miao sighed, "Teacher Dijun, you told me that there are alien races in this world, and they will destroy the entire Nine Clans. I have guarded the ocean for a thousand years, but I have not seen any aliens. Thirty years ago, I felt that the world could no longer accommodate me, but I still remember what you said, let me guard my people and guard this world. My family and friends have long since left me, and now I am the only one left to guard the mission you have given me, and my people are growing stronger, and they even want to rule the whole world.

Oh, you know, mortals are wantonly destroying this world, and if it weren't for the melting of the northern icebergs and global warming, this world would have been covered by the ocean.

Now, I don't call the rain fall anymore. Thirty years ago, I could no longer suppress the power in my body, I felt the exclusion of this world, and my physical body could no longer stay here. However, at that moment, I had an epiphany about the origin of water, and the dual cultivation of heaven and earth allowed me to see the essence of life clearly. Water is the source of life, and I gave up my body and soul to recondense a new body with the power of water. Now my name is Haomiao, and the sea is even my soul. ”

At this moment, countless water droplets on the sea surface under the feet of Hao Miao floated up, like falling rain, but this raindrop was reversed, crystal clear by the moonlight, like a dream.

The raindrops floated above Hao Miao's head and condensed into a huge water mirror. Hao Miao raised his hand slightly, and the angle of the mirror was slightly off, aiming at the sky above Vienna.

The scene is presented in the arena above Schönbrunn Palace, where Mai will compete for the quarterfinals in the future, and if she wins, she will advance to the semi-finals and compete for a place in the finals.

Hao Miao stared at the light from Mai Miku's hand with some distraction, "Teacher, is she your descendant? I saw your shadow on her." Ever since I had the Gods Cup, I have sent a member of my clan to participate in the tournament every five years, not to win the tournament, but to make them more aware of the outside world. But in this edition of the God Cup, I saw that the hilt of the dragon became a reward, is this a portent? a sign that the enemy is about to appear? We have waited so long that we have forgotten how to fight.

This time I personally participated in the competition, and I believe it was providential. After having a new life, I saw the hilt of the sword again in less than thirty years, and even the Wood people could not tell my real age, allowing me to compete. It's no coincidence, no matter what, I'll get the hilt of the dragon sword. Its appearance made me faintly feel that disaster was coming. ”

Speaking of this, Hao Miao gently stroked the stone slab beside him, "People have forgotten your strength, forgotten the most glorious era of the Nine Clans, when you merge again, the world's artifacts will respect you." ”

"Teacher, I will keep my people ready at all times! When the enemy comes, it will also be the time for my ancient water tribe to reappear in the light of day. ”

Holding the stone slab, Hao Miao jumped forward, and in an instant, he sank to the bottom of the sea, without a trace of splash.

In the sea, he kept sinking, his body shining on the bottom of the sea like light, and the huge water pressure did not affect him at all. He wants to return to his territory, and there is a huge city deep under the sea, a city that belongs to the ancient water tribe, Starfloat Island.

Another week has passed, and the list of the top four of the God of War has been released. In this competition, there are many strong players, and the players are not only younger, but the overall strength has also improved much compared with previous years. The protective cover, which used to be absolutely safe to use, is also less stable this time.

Mai Future and Nangong Yulun can be described as a generation of coquettish children, and the S-level transcendents who have watched their matches feel a threat in them. And the players sent by Xingfu Island this time are also extremely strong, and every game is won lightly. Among the top four players, only Tokugawa Takugo looked "mediocre".

Three of these four people are from the Asia-Pacific region, and two are cross-level competitions, and for a while, everyone focused on the situation in the Asia-Pacific region, and the reshuffle of Japan's political situation is inseparable from Mai's future momentum.

Everyone also heard that the Mai family is friendly with Jiuyou, and Japan has always been an outpost of the United States in the Asia-Pacific region, and if it moves towards Jiuyou, the entire Asia-Pacific region, Jiuyou will become the real hegemon.

Recently, the US general election is imminent, and the old and new presidents will be replaced, and Japan is already taking advantage of this time to expel the US troops on the island of Okinawa.

In the transcendent world, Jiuyou and Japan are in the limelight, and the United States was faintly suppressed by Jiuyou because the two players of the independent team were killed by the Jiuyou sword and shield players one after another, or rather, people think that the extraordinary strength of North America is not as good as that of the Asia-Pacific region.

On this night, the long-awaited battle began above Schönbrunn Palace, and Nangong Yulun, whose opponent was Japan's Tokugawa Takugo, reappeared in the field of vision.

Outside the stadium, the crowd was enthusiastic and the Asia-Pacific Grandstand was full. The stands in other regions are filled with extraordinary people from all over the world. Most people shouted Nangong Yulun's name, she performed amazingly in the last battle, the battle scene was fierce and spectacular, and people expected her to bring the same wonderful battle in this battle.

In the field, Nangong Yulun's face was slightly pale, and Tokugawa Takugo grabbed Muramasa on his waist, closed his eyes, and adjusted his breathing.

The shield flickered and the red light went out, but the two of them didn't make any moves.

Nangong Yulun looked at Tokugawa Takugo calmly, "You seem to be hesitant?"

"Yes, I heard that you were seriously injured, and I don't want to fight a girl who is seriously injured, which is insulting to the spirit of bushido. ”

Nangong Yulun chuckled, "Heh, do you know that the outside world thinks that I will win this game." ”

Tokugawa Takugo nodded, "I must admit that your strength is very strong, and you and Gregory, no matter who they are, I am not completely sure of defeating." However, my sword technique is the way of assassination, killing and invisible, maybe you can't exert your full strength, my village has already been infected with your blood. ”

Nangong Yulun stretched out his hand and made a gesture of please, "Take out your strongest knife technique, I won't fight back, if you can stab me to death, I will naturally lose the game, if you can't stab me, you will admit defeat." ”

Tokugawa Takugo's expression froze, "Okay! Then you have to be careful!"
