Chapter 80: Knockout
On July 26th, the day of the start of the knockout round of the secret qualifying round, today's player seat is very empty, there are only eight people, and the players who have not entered the top eight cannot enter the player seat, and they need to buy their own tickets if they want to sit in the audience, and the ticket price of the knockout round is much more expensive than the points race, but before the start of the game, the tickets for the three days have all been sold.
Before the game, of course, everyone was most concerned about the battle list, but before the game started, the official of the secret realm did not release any news.
The matchup list is decided by drawing lots, and is completed before heading to the venue, and is not announced until the first match is about to begin.
In the first game, Qiu Chen vs. Wang Hongyu; the second Tang Junhao vs. Zhu Yuanyu; the third scene, Lu Junwei vs. Fei Chengtao; In the fourth scene, Lin Jiangming vs. Zeng Jianyuan.
Looking at the list of matches displayed on the electronic big screen, the audience gradually became agitated, according to the regulations of the previous qualifying tournaments, the winner of the first game and the winner of the second game will meet in the second round to compete for a place in the finals, that is to say, Qiu Chen, Wang Hongyu, Tang Junhao and Zhu Yuanyu will compete for a place in the finals, and the four on the other side, the most powerful is undoubtedly Lin Jiangming, although the other three are also very high, but there is still a gap with Lin Jiangming.
According to this list, Lin Jiangming's entry into the final is basically a certainty.
"What kind of list is this, is there a shady scene?" In the audience, Lin Haiyao looked at the list of opponents and couldn't help but say.
"I guess it's luck." Ye Yongxin, who was sitting next to Lin Haiyao, said.
Qualifying has always been fair, Lin Haiyao, as a newcomer, doesn't know, Ye Yongxin, as an old player, knows this very well, so in the end, the only thing left to explain this matchup list is luck.
Ye Yongxin's guess is correct, this list was indeed decided by lottery, and the reason why this list was unfair was Lin Jiangming's luck.
Qiu Chen hadn't come back when the lot was drawn, Lin Jiangming was the last of the seven people present to draw lots, at that time, there were only No. 1 and No. 7, No. 1 Hell, No. 7 Heaven, and finally he won the No. 7 and left Hell to Qiu Chen, who was not there.
There are only four matches in the first round of the knockout round, but the ticket price is more expensive than the 25 points matches, partly because of the high level of the knockout rounds, and partly because there are some interactive activities with the audience during the knockout rounds.
Because the singles game can't last long, and the broadcast time of the knockout match is from seven o'clock in the evening to nine o'clock in the evening, two hours of time, if it is only four singles games, one and a half hours of advertising will be placed, who can stand it, so there is such an activity as audience interaction, which can increase the price of tickets, and secondly, solve the problem of TV broadcasting, killing two birds with one stone.
The list of matches for the game was announced, and then it was time for the first game, and in the grand announcement on the spot, Qiu Chen and Wang Hongyu walked onto the stage.
The two simply shook hands and greeted each other, and then entered their respective seats, the game map for the knockout round is chosen by the players themselves, the two players each choose a map, and the system randomly selects a map to match, when one of the lives consumed reaches 50%, the map switches to another map, and there is no rest time in between.
The maps of the first game are the ring arena and the maze, two completely different maps, but everyone is not too surprised, Qiu Chen and Wang Hongyu's styles are originally two extremes, Qiu Chen is good at head-to-head battles, and Wang Hongyu is good at finding opportunities to sneak attack, so there is no doubt that the ring field must be chosen by Qiu Chen, and the maze must be chosen by Wang Hongyu.
The large electronic screen at the scene has already begun to randomly select one of the two maps, and the final selection is the ring ring.
Maybe many people think that this situation will be beneficial to Qiu Chen, but no, as long as the life consumption of Shadow Mingyue reaches fifty percent, the map will switch to a maze, and then the one with the advantage of the map will become Wang Hongyu, with fifty percent of the life and the advantage of the map to complete the turnaround, it is very possible, so in the end, whoever has the advantage of the map will have a greater chance of winning.
"Hello audience friends, welcome to watch the TV broadcast of the secret qualifying, I am your old friend Dong Song, now the first game of the knockout round is underway, the map is the ring field and the maze, the two players participating in the game are Wang Hongyu and Qiu Chen, the two players don't need me to make more introductions, I think the audience who watched the broadcast must also know the two, this year's knockout we invited the commentator is Zhu Qian, one of the top four of the third qualifying round."
Dong Song, who has been commenting on the competition since the first qualifying match in the secret realm, is also a player in the secret realm, and his strength is very good, but he can't participate in the qualifying competition because of work, so he started to broadcast it on TV, and the points competition of each qualifying match is narrated by him alone, and there will be a commentator in the knockout round, and this year's commentator is Zhu Qian, one of the top four in the third qualifying competition.
"Hello everyone, I'm Zhu Qian, and I'll explain the game with Dong Song today." Zhu Qian said.
"Now that we see that both of them have entered the competition seat, I don't know who Zhu Qian is more optimistic about?" Dong Song asked while the map was loaded.
"Personally, I am more optimistic about Qiu Chen, but judging from the current situation, Wang Hongyu has the advantage of the map, and the chances of winning are relatively greater." Zhu Qian replied.
"Now that the roles of the two have entered the map, Qiu Chen is still in the same style as before, the drunken dust in autumn rushed directly to the opponent, Wang Hongyu did not adhere to his usual style, and the shadow killing Mingyue also rushed to the opponent, and at the same time, we noticed that the double dagger he used in his hand was not the most commonly used double dagger, but the secondary weapon ninja knife." Dong Song said.
"There is basically nothing left and right for tactical positioning on this map of the ring, and it will lose the opportunity, so there is no need for tactical positioning, and how much life Shadow Killing Mingyue can use fifty percent of his life to consume Autumn Drunken Dust will determine how much advantage he can have in the second half." Zhu Qian explained the actions of Shadow Killer Bright Moon.
The two met in the center of the map, and the first to strike was Autumn Drunken Dust, who raised his knee and collided, turned his spear into two guns, and began to strafe Shadow Mingyue from a distance.
Shadow Killer Bright Moon quickly sealed on his chest with both hands, and the seal was completed before the bullet hit, and a shield formed by water waves appeared in front of Shadow Killer Bright Moon, Ninjutsu Water Emperor!
Ninjutsu Water Emperor, a mid-level skill in the secret realm, forms a shield condensed by water waves in front of you, which can play a defensive role, and can also block the action of the seal, so that the opponent has no way to judge what skill is being used, which lasts for thirty seconds, and may also be broken in advance.
The two guns in the hands of the drunken dust in autumn were put together, forming a big sword, and the left hand was wiped from the top of the big sword, and a blood arrow flew out, an arrow of blood!
The damage of the Blood Qi Arrow was enough to directly break the Water Emperor, but Shadow Slayer Mingyue didn't dodge, and her hands were still sealed on her chest.
The blood arrow directly scattered the water waves, but then, the ninja knife of the shadow killer was unsheathed, and flames burned on the ninja knife.
Shadow Killer Moon brandished the ninja knife and rushed towards Autumn Drunken Dust, who had already switched his big sword to a double sword at this time, and rushed towards Shadow Killer Moon.
The ninja knife in the hand of the shadow killer Mingyue slashed out, and slashed horizontally towards the right arm of the autumn drunken dust.
Autumn Drunken Dust turned around, and the double swords were in front of him, blocking the ninja knife slashed by Shadow Killer Mingyue, with the increase of fire slashing, Autumn Drunken Dust couldn't be stopped with only one sword, and he had to use both swords to parry at the same time to ensure that he didn't suffer any damage.
But the shadow killer Mingyue is not only a ninja knife in his hand, the scabbard in his left hand has been stretched out, and it is pressed against the lower abdomen of the autumn drunken dust, and the bow is opened left and right!
The drunken dust of autumn shook all over his body, shaking the ninja knife and scabbard at the same time, and then the flames on the two swords were already ignited, and the ninja fire slashed!
Under normal circumstances, only ninja knives can use ninjutsu, but Autumn Drunken Dust does not use normal means, but self-made skills, replica!
The two swords are crossed, the spiral is stabbed out, and the spiral turns to kill the whirlwind!
The wind swept through the audience with flames, directly sending the Shadow Killer Moon flying.
But before the skill ended, the autumn drunken dust had already been forcibly canceled, and the two swords in his hands were close together, and then into the form of a big sword, and a sword slashed towards the face of the shadow and bright moon, and hit hard!
Shadow Killer Mingyue crossed the ninja knife and scabbard in front of him, parryed the great sword slashed by Autumn Drunken Dust, and then kicked towards Autumn Drunken Dust.
Autumn Drunken Dust's left hand did not move, and his right hand wiped over the big sword, and the whole big sword split from it, half of it remained in place, and the other half had turned into a sword in the form of Fang Cai's double sword, and fell into Autumn Drunken Dust's right hand.
The so-called double swords, in fact, are two smaller light swords used at the same time, and the double swords of the autumn drunken dust are more excessive, although the size is about the same as the light sword, but the weight is worse, after all, the weight of a big sword is still not as good as two light swords, so the attack speed of the double sword form of the autumn drunken dust is faster than the general double sword, and the damage is not low at all, plus it has been perfectly polished more than 1,500 times, it is definitely called = the first pair of swords in the current secret realm.
The foot kicked out by the Shadow Killer Bright Moon directly cut off the Autumn Drunken Dust, and the Autumn Drunk Dust then stabbed a sword into the lower abdomen of the Shadow Killer Bright Moon.
The ninja knife and scabbard of the shadow killer Mingyue are all parrying the left-handed sword of Autumn Drunken Dust, and at this time, it can't stop the right-handed sword stabbed out by Autumn Drunken Dust, and this is not an ordinary stab, but a skill, a vital attack!
Vital attack, dual sword exclusive skills, make any attack has the effect of a point, and the effect is the effect of the acupuncture point closest to the location of the attack.
Looking at the position of the autumn drunken dust attack, it should have a stiffening effect, this is the judgment made by Yu Mengxi, she is definitely the person who is most familiar with the system of point points in the secret realm at present.
And don't forget, Autumn Drunken Dust also reproduces the effect of the Flame Slash, which has an attack amplification, and the damage of this hit is also considerable.
