The news of the underrated mad-level newcomer Grim Reaper, fighting the old mad-level mid-ranking powerhouse in the fighting arena, the drunken sword idiot, spread through the streets and alleys, causing a huge sensation.

The battle between the mad levels, or a one-on-one fight in the fighting arena, is very rare. Lu Buwu, a drunken sword addict who has long been introduced behind the scenes, has made a comeback again, and is rumored to be the god of death, and Zheng Ming, whose battle picture has recently gone viral in major advertising areas, is full of gimmicks in the battle between the two. It can be said to be the most exciting news in recent days, and it soon became the talk of Xinglin residents after dinner.

In recent days, it has spread the momentum everywhere, and the name of the famous Grim Reaper, not to mention, the other player in the duel, the drunken sword idiot, was already a veteran powerhouse in the middle of the mad level ten years ago. Even though due to age and seniority, he has rarely appeared over the years, but his prestige is still in full swing, and the advertisements he starred in can be seen on the streets and alleys even today.

It seems that it is for this reason that the battle between the two is unprecedentedly grand, and the date has been postponed for several days in order to build up more publicity and momentum.

In this carnival-like atmosphere, the date of the duel was finally long overdue.

As one of the protagonists of this large-scale "celebration", Zheng Ming entered the venue before the martial arts arena opened to the public, walked into the waiting room, and waited for the arrival of the battle.

The so-called knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent is invincible. While preparing for the start of the fight, Zheng Ming also downloaded some of Lü Buwu's recent battle footage, and even purchased expensive simulated battle data to experience it first-hand with the vision of Lü Buwu and his opponent.

It's no wonder that Lu Buwu can't wait to challenge Zheng Ming. He does have some skills, and in terms of comprehensive combat power, it can be said that he is a typical madman.

In terms of destructive power and power alone, it is more than a step stronger than Zheng Ming's performance. The most important thing is that he has no obvious shortcomings, nor does he have the ability to clearly restrain him.

"Oh, no one is going to kill themselves. It seems that the threat forced me to accept the challenge, and it was the intention to defeat me before I became stronger! "

In the waiting room of the players, Zheng Ming leaned over and sat on the sofa and looked up at the waiting mirror in front of him. There was a silver-haired, masked man with a masked face, his crimson pupils full of mockery.

"If I still only have physical abilities to reach the mad level, maybe you will really succeed. But..."Before the words fell, Zheng Ming lifted the placket on his arm, revealing the ** tattoo underneath.

It was a white snake outlined by bright white lines, and an ancient dragon pattern outlined by jet-black lines. At this time, one left and one right wrapped around his arms. If you look closely, the tattoo is like a living thing, giving people the feeling of fluctuating with breathing, and the eyes of the two beasts give people a sense of agility.

These are his two incarnations. As if free-range, Zheng Ming, who allowed them to cultivate on their own, specially recalled them last night and fused them into his body.

Just like the Dorn Demon Pattern Warriors in the dragon and the wizarding world, their respective ability systems will give Zheng Ming an amplification.

"Is it an independent energy system that amplifies each other? It was a bonus. Zheng Ming looked at the tattoos on his arms and said secretly. I am more and more confident about the next fight.

[Tuk tuk. 】

[If there is a guest visiting, will you be given permission to enter?] 】

After a few knocks that mimicked the sound of a knock on the door, the room resounded with the sound of intelligent management.

Hearing this, Zheng Ming indifferently opened his mouth and ordered: "The image of the visitor." "

[Image of visitors outside the door is being generated.] 】

After another beep, I saw a monitor-like object turn out of the ceiling of the standby room, and then beams of light shot out from its "eyes", and soon formed a projection outside the door.

She was dressed in a slim-fitting pleated dress, her hair tucked back behind her head, revealing her slender neck and a beautifully shaped necklace.

When Zheng Ming saw that the person who came was Bai Su, he immediately gave birth and ordered, "Open the door and let the visitor in." "

[Obeys.] 】

The door to the waiting room slammed silently to the side, revealing the white man who was waiting impatiently.

"Da, da..."

The sound of high heels on the smooth floor sounded, and Bai Su twisted her waist and walked into the room.

Seeing that the door was closed, Zheng Ming pointed to the sofa on the side, and said without words: "I thought you wouldn't come." "

"I've been a little busy lately because of some trivial matters. You won't be lonely because your sister didn't accompany you, right? "

Seeing that Bai Ming was not in shape, Zheng Ming rolled his eyes speechlessly.

Bai Mo was not polite, she strode to the sofa, sat down without any image, and looked at Zheng Ming with a slightly worried gaze.

"If you're going to fight a duel with a drunken sword idiot, can I not come? I heard that you have some conflicts with him, so it's going to be fine, right? Otherwise, don't be angry in the ring and come to me to help me. Don't worry about this, I'll take care of it for you. "

Zheng Ming didn't take a stubble, as early as in Tongming Village, the other party was like this, possessive and protective, and he couldn't wait to tie Zheng Ming to his side and settle everything for him.

He didn't suspect that Bai Su was slapping his swollen face and becoming fat. From the contact during this time, as well as Bai Su's outfit at this time, he could vaguely see that she was extraordinary.

"Why are you dressed like this? I don't know, I thought you were going to a banquet. Zheng Ming glanced Bai Su up and down, and deliberately diverted the topic.

"Don't mention it. I'll have to deal with idiots and flies later. I came here on purpose. What do you think? Impressed? "

The corners of Zheng Ming's mouth twitched when he heard this, and wisely remained silent before the molestation began.

"Oh, roar, roar. Oops, what a writhing child. But that's what makes you cute. "

Seeing that Bai Ming stretched out his hand to cover his lips and let out a middle-aged lady-like laugh, Zheng Ming's cheeks twitched more and more frequently, and there seemed to be green tendons on his forehead.

Gritting his teeth, Zheng Ming resisted the urge to hit Bai Su with his tongue and sword, and angrily issued an order to expel the guest.

"If you're here to disturb my state of mind and make me emotionally out of control, you've almost done it. Now that I've seen it, can I go? I'm going to have to prepare for the battle. As you can see, I'm in good shape and full of confidence. "

"You, you, you... How can you think of me like that? In vain, I was afraid that you would be nervous before the war, so I came to cheer you on. "

Seeing Bai Ming hiding his face with one hand and holding his forehead with the other, revealing a sad gesture with tears in his eyes, Zheng Ming's eyelids jumped wildly, and he shouted wildly in his heart.

What a terrible acting. Bad guys.

"Thank you so much. Now that I've seen it, I'm able to go. Saying that, Zheng Ming walked up to Bai Su, unceremoniously took Bai Su's arm, and pushed her out of the door.

"Whew~~~~"

With a long sigh of relief, Zheng Ming glanced at the room that had finally quieted down, revealing a wry smile.

"It's really a troublesome character."

He calmed down, shook his head and chuckled, and walked towards the couch.

[Tuk tuk. 】

[If there is a guest visiting, will you be given permission to enter?] 】

Before he could sit down, the mechanical sound sounded again, Zheng Ming stood up with a wry smile and gave the order to open the door with a gesture.

"What? I really don't need you to relieve my tension..."

Zheng Ming, who turned the sofa to the door as he spoke, stopped talking. It turned out that it was not Bai Su who was outside the door, but Wu Tianhao, who was wearing a baseball cap, sunglasses and a mask.

"Huh? Who, who would not worry about you, afraid that you would be nervous before the war, and came to see you? Are you too self-conscious? Wu Tianhao walked into the room by himself, found a seat and sat down.

As he spoke, he took off his large sunglasses, which took up half of his face, and threw them on the table along with his baseball cap, mask, and mask, and let out a long sigh of relief.

Cut, from the stammering tone, and a slightly flustered expression, it is undoubtedly revealed. What is a *** pretending to be a dead tsundere?

Zheng Ming slandered in his heart, and looked at Wu Tianhao with an unkind look.

"What do you want me to do?"

"What's the matter with you wearing a stalker's outfit? What are you doing with your mask? Sunglasses and face shields aren't enough? "

"Hey, don't mention it. I don't know what the organizers think. I have to give the audience a mask one by one. It's like a masquerade. "

"Hmm..."

Zheng Ming stroked his chin and gently patted the table in front of him with his fingertips.

Will every viewer watch with a mask? He didn't know that. When things go wrong, there must be demons. He had only thought it was a high-profile battle, but now it doesn't seem to be easy.

"Na, na! Naruto..."

Tian Hao's call interrupted Zheng Ming's thoughts, he looked up at Tian Hao, only to find that the expression on the other party's face at this time had long since lost its previous laziness.

"What?"

"I don't feel right. Generally, even if it is a mad level fight, it will not go to such a short time to publicize it, let alone make it look like a masquerade ball. I asked before I came, and it seems that the distribution of masks is unique to this time, and it has never happened before. "

"Hmm... Got it. "

"Got it? That's it? "

Obviously, Zheng Ming's bland reaction did not satisfy Tianhao. He looked at Zheng Ming incredulously, and his tone was a few points high.

"You should know that your character and behavior are easy to offend people, right?"

"What do you hear?"

Facing Zheng Ming's inquiry, Tianhao hesitated for a moment, but finally did not say all the words in his heart.

"Nothing. Don't go into any fighting ring. I've always admired you. With your cooking skills, with your ability to show in all aspects, even if you change jobs, you will soon improve. There's no need to fight here. "

Zheng Ming fell silent. He clasped his hands together and dragged his chin and looked at the ground beneath his feet.

He had also experienced a lot of martial arts before, and it was rare for him to be so serious about Tianhao, who did not hesitate to run to the contestant's lounge to disturb him before the fight, and also persuaded him to give up the fight.

As for Bai Su, just looking at the other party's outfit, you can see that she must have come in a hurry, far from being as careless as she appeared on the surface.

You must know that this is the rest room before the fight, and it is impossible for outsiders to reach this place easily. I think the two used some of their respective relationships.

This brought Zheng Ming a full sense of crisis and malaise. It seemed that there was a giant beast in front of him with its mouth wide open, waiting for Zheng Ming to step in.

"Ming, speak."

Zheng Ming stopped thinking and smiled at Tianhao, who was a little impatient.

"Rest easy. Maybe they just want some gimmicks. After all, it will attract more audiences. "

"Gimmick? Don't you understand the severity yet? Everything is unusual. It even attracted some big names in Starland City. With all due respect, it is impossible for you and the drunken sword idiot to show their faces. "

As if sensing that he had slipped his mouth, Tianhao immediately closed his mouth. When Zheng Ming heard this, a thoughtful look flashed in his eyes.

"Anyway, follow me."

I saw that after Tianhao dropped a sentence, he took three steps and made two steps, grabbed Zheng Ming's arm, and was about to pull him out, Zheng Ming struggled to shake off Tianhao's pull.

"You..." Tianhao turned his head to look at Zheng Ming with a stunned face, but Zheng Ming still maintained a calm and indifferent smile.

"I love fighting. I like to fight in a moment of life and death. I like the tactile feeling of a sharp blade slashing at an enemy, and even the pain of being injured and the smell of blood in the air.

At that moment, I would try my best to think, and I would pay attention to my surroundings like never before. Do you understand that feeling? The feeling of being connected to the world. The feeling of no longer closing yourself off and venting to your heart's content.

fo

I may have some talent in other areas, but I don't like it. I'm not interested, you know?

Maybe people like me can only get by in a peaceful world without conquest, and experience the feeling of dominating death in a virtual game. But it's different here! There is a need for people like me here, where peace is an illusion and where our tranquility is under constant threat.

So why give up? What am I constantly searching for? Isn't that just to experience this kind of wonderful? If there is a dilemma, then it is better to step over.

If I win, I want to, and if I lose, I want to! "

At this moment, Tianhao looked at Zheng Ming's crimson eyes, and involuntarily put down the hand that was pulling him.

Although he couldn't see Zheng Ming's expression at this time, with those suddenly bright eyes, Tianhao could imagine the picture under the mask. He also had this expression, and that was when he wrote another satisfying tune, when he sang loudly, and when he watched the waves of his arms swaying from the corner of his eyes.

"What about the little girl you adopted? If you die, she'll be alone. Tianhao tried his last struggle.

Zheng Ming's expression was stunned when he heard this, and then he showed a smile that was not only cruel but also loving.

"You seem to have misunderstood something? She was alone without me. I have no obligation or need to give up my pursuit for his sake. I want her to be independent, not just for her. I made it clear to her all the while that I was only adopting her for self-satisfaction. "

After a series of spit out as if to explain, and as if to convince himself of an excuse, Zheng Ming took a deep breath, his slightly curved eyes returned to their usual shape, and at the same time, his voice suddenly became cold.

"I checked her in and installed her with a smart assistance chip, which is much better than it was at the beginning. If she can't live with all this, then it can only be said that she should be. You know, I can't be by her side for the rest of my life, and one day she will have to learn to live alone. Besides, that's all after my failure. That's not going to happen, I'm going to win. "

Speaking of this, Zheng Ming's tone lowered, and he muttered in a voice that was almost to himself: "I don't accept the fight, it doesn't mean that she can live better." My previous experience has taught me that there are some difficulties that are better than avoiding them. "

"Are you sure?"

"I'm pretty sure. Now I'm going to calm down and get ready for battle. "

Seeing Zheng Ming pose as a send-off, Tianhao silently stared at the strange mask for a long time, sighed, and then turned around and strode away.
