Chapter 9 Dogfight
"The melee tournament begins after counting to a hundred!" The instructor's loud yelling interrupted my teaching. The cavern, which served as a driving ground, was full of narrow passages, even in the very center of the cave; Standing on top allows you to see all the action below. More than a dozen instructors have climbed up to the road, "When the referee says you're out, you have to lie down on the spot." Besides, there is only one rule, and that is to win! ”
The cadets scrambled to get moving, some pausing to observe the terrain in front of them, others scattering into the dimly lit tunnels.
One of the cadets came up to me and said, "Cooperation? ”
I glanced at Ah Hui: "I already have a partner." ”
"Three is better than two." "Other people are also forming teams, so let's work together to beat them before deciding who is the champion," the student said. ”
"Are you a player or an NPC?" I asked. The virtual personalities of NPCs are so realistic that it can sometimes be difficult to distinguish.
"What did you say?" He replied. It's an NPC.
There was no time, so Ah Hui and I, along with this NPC student named Adinlik, walked into the tunnel of stalagmites.
"One hundred!" The instructor shouted condescendingly.
We stopped in the narrow passage between the two stalagmites.
"Wait here and be quiet." I used sign language to make an analogy, "Let the other opponents drain each other's stamina first." ”
Soon, a cadet barged in, and Adinlik and I split up and attacked. While he was dealing with two people at the same time, his attention was distracted and the hole was wide open. Ah Hui poked out a spear and hit him in the chest.
A soft blue light shone on his face, and he followed the path of the light to see an instructor with a staff, looking down on us from the top of the path.
"You're defeated," the instructor said to the cadet. "Fall down now!"
The student was a little angry about the trio joining forces to defeat him, and hesitated to fall. A blinding bolt of lightning shot out of the instructor's staff, hitting him in the chest with precision, sending him flying backwards and crashing into the stalagmite. He fell to the ground and groaned, puffs of light smoke emanating from his charred body.
"You've been defeated!" The instructor said again.
"Let's go," I said, "and the others will know we're here, and we'll have to find another place." ”
We sped around a ninety-degree turn and bumped into two opponents.
Adinlik faced one of them, and I used my small wooden shield to block the other's attacks, and the wooden sword struck the opponent's wrist, knocking his wooden scimitar away.
Hui poked a spear out from behind me and stabbed him in the chest. "You're defeated," the instructor's voice said, "lie down for me." ”
The remaining opponent was also immediately hit by the combined attack of the three and lay on the ground.
We defeated several more opponents in succession, and we got better and better together. Ah Hui is also proficient in using spears, and can always poke out with just the right spear when Adinlik and I are entangled, knocking out the opponent. And in order to give Ah Hui more practical experience, I always deliberately create opportunities for him.
Two hours later, the instructor reminded the audience that there were only five contestants left.
Now it's three against two, and we've won.
At this time, he heard Ah Hui's scolding behind him. I quickly turned around and used my small wooden shield to block Adinlik's attack.
"You've been defeated." The instructor said. "Get down." The soft blue light shone on Ah Hui's face, who was lying on the ground.
"What are you doing!"
Adinlik winced at my anger, and he parried my attack as he argued in a panic: "In the end, we still have to decide who is the champion, and the black belt Ah Hui is the strongest student I have ever seen, and it will be good for us to defeat him first." ”
This bastard NPC, because I always create opportunities for Ah Hui to practice taking down opponents, I thought Ah Hui was the strongest among us and sneaked up on him first.
My wooden sword struck Adinlik on the wrist, freeing him from his weapon, and slashed at his head with a sword, knocking him unconscious.
As I went to look for the remaining two opponents, I heard the sound of a fight coming from an open area.
The anger in my chest made me impatient to wait for the two students to decide the winner, and I quickly rushed over.
The two cadets in the fight were alert to my presence, but I didn't give them time to react. I placed a dark spell in their midst, and the dark barrier enveloped them, and I rushed in.
Rather than the panic of losing their sight, my blind fighting specialty allows me to feel movement around me when I can't see.
By the time I left the Dark Enchantment, the two scapegoats I had used to vent my anger had fallen to the ground and couldn't move.
"The competition is over, and Scorpio, a member of the Dark Flame Family, becomes the champion of this competition." The instructor announced loudly.
In the days that followed, I went back and forth between the martial arts tower and the training ring, constantly practicing and competing.
The practice was basically unmatched, not only because I had been practicing martial arts for a long time in reality, but also because I used a safety cabin with a brainwave receiver, which was faster than the full operating system with operating gloves and video helmets used by ordinary people. In order to prevent users from being able to distinguish between reality and illusion, psychological disorders, the safety cabin is purchased with an ID card, must be an adult, and must pass a certain psychological test to subscribe, and lock the buyer for personal use. And it's worth a lot of money, my cousin bought a safe cabin to cost him and his sister-in-law almost all of their savings, and I was able to afford it after making a lot of money at the beginning of the futures market.
It is estimated that usually people who practice martial arts cannot afford to buy a safety cabin or are unwilling to spend money here, and those who can spend money on a safety cabin are generally not skilled fighters. As for martial arts masters like my cousin, but they remain childlike and unchanging, so much so that I was tempted to buy a safe cabin to play "Magic World", there should not be a few.
The terrain of the practice ground is only suitable for small groups to cooperate, so the cooperation team of the students will not exceed five people.
Because I'm wary of NPCs, I'm looking for players to cooperate, and Ah Hui is of course the first choice for cooperation, and I also met a thief. I am the main attack, Ah Hui assists the attack, and the wind is waiting for the opportunity to sneak attack. Our iron triangle is invincible.
After defeating the other students, Ah Hui and the Wind Maniac will cooperate against me, and in their words, I am the strongest of the three, and it is only natural that I will cooperate to defeat me. However, Wind Mania has almost no martial arts foundation, and Ah Hui uses a spear that is not suitable for melee combat, and the Thieves and Rangers are not as good as the warriors in frontal combat, so in the end, I won the championship. But they are improving very quickly, and I am gradually feeling that they are getting more and more difficult to deal with.
Once, with a slight negligence, he approached the wind maniac with the double short swords to entangle, and Ah Hui, who was good at finding gaps and attacking, pressed it with a spear in the rear, and for a while they were in a hurry, forcing me to use the dark spell on Ah Hui, although he immediately rushed out of the dark enchantment, but in this short period of time, I have already defeated the lone wind maniac. Heads-up, Ah Hui is not my opponent yet. Later, I was reprimanded as a cheap move, and I responded, "Guys are not qualified to say that, and I didn't say that I can't use spells. Hehe, the levitation technique can't be used on involuntary creatures, and the demon fire can't think of any other use than lighting, and as for the dark technique, the two people who don't have blind fighting expertise are just killing themselves by using this on me.
I haven't seen my cousin Huo Blaze Chill in the Fighting Tower, so I used the communicator to contact him when I went offline, and sure enough, I entered the mage school and became a mage specializing in the plastic energy department, that is, a mage. The current situation is useless to contact him in the game, forget it.
