Chapter 145: Turning Around for You
On the first day of the ranking battle, the top 100 list was released, and the top 64 candidates were determined.
During this period, many dark horses emerged!
Many students who had not passed the two-star martial arts assessment before the competition suddenly burst out of their two-star level strength during the competition, caught their opponents off guard, and finally won the victory.
As Luo Shen expected, that night, a list of two-star martial arts students was updated on the Xingluo Forum, with a total of 24 people.
Among them, the most talked about is undoubtedly Du Mu, who was questioned and ridiculed a lot before the game.
The strength of the two-star martial artist, the amazing performance of killing the opponent in seconds with one move empty-handed, instantly calmed down all the remarks that doubted his strength, and was replaced by shock and surprise.
Some of the students who had seen Du Mu kill his opponent in seconds with his astonishing movement speed even compared him to Lei Kai, who was also known for his incredible speed.
Of course, it is debatable whether there is an element in this that adds fuel to the fire.
After all, Du Mu bet 5 million star yuan on himself and bet that he could win the championship, but it spread throughout the entire first grade, and his biggest opponent was undoubtedly Lei Kai.
The next day, the open-air giant playing field.
Compared with yesterday, the flow of people in the venue has not decreased, but has increased.
"After all, it is a qualifying match for the round of 32, and the viewing is definitely better than the first day of the competition, so it is not surprising that there are many people watching. ”
At the door of the lounge, Gu Huaqing looked at the crowded crowd in the audience and smiled gently.
Next to him, Chi Xiangzhen was bored playing with his fingers, ignoring Gu Huaqing's words.
Gu Huaqing didn't care, but asked with a smile: "I heard that you bet 5 million star yuan, betting that Du Mu can win the chief position?"
Chi Xiangzhen didn't raise his head: "So what?"
"I'm curious, why do you do that? Don't you want to get the position of Freshman Chief?"
"I still want to be the No.1 Glory Book Monument?" Chi Xiangzhen glanced at him and pouted, "The problem is that I have to have that strength!"
"Although I don't want to admit it, Lei Kai's stinky fart guy is indeed better than me, and with him, I will definitely not be able to get the first place. ”
"Yes, I want to fight with Lei Kai, before the actual fight, it is not certain who will lose and who will win. A ray of divine light flashed in Gu Huaqing's eyes, and after a while, he showed a puzzled expression, "Then why do you still bet on Du Mu?"
Chi Xiangzhen was stunned, as if he was recalling something, and only after a moment did he say faintly: "You haven't been in contact with Du Mu, you don't know the depth of his strength, in fact, his strength is definitely not as simple as it appears on the surface, I feel that his true strength should not be weaker than Lei Kai!"
As soon as these words came out, a touch of surprise and solemnity suddenly appeared on Gu Huaqing's face.
Chi Xiangzhen is not a person who likes to speculate, what she said Gu Huaqing naturally will not be easily ignored, but to say that Du Mu and Lei Kai are of equal strength, he is a little suspicious after all.
"Since Lei Kai and Du Mu have the possibility of winning the championship, why did you choose Du Mu instead of Lei Kai?"
"Isn't this nonsense? Of course, choose a more pleasing one!"
......
Inside another lounge.
Du Mu leaned back in his chair and flipped through the list of two-star martial arts students he had downloaded from the forum.
"I didn't expect so many people to hide their strength, the first grade is really Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon!"
After a long time, Du Mu withdrew his gaze from his mobile phone, shook his head and sighed.
A few nearby students who were looking at him vaguely rolled their eyes in their hearts when they heard this.
The deepest hidden thing is how are you?
I've never seen such a brazen person!
Du Mu turned a blind eye to the scrutinizing or scrutinizing gazes, and turned his head to Luo Shen beside him and asked, "I heard that after the top 100 are decided, the final specific ranking will be arranged by the coordinating committee?"
"Strictly speaking, it should be determined by the organizing committee based on the results of the competition and the performance of the players in the competition. Luo Shen explained.
"Even so, isn't this method a little too subjective?" Du Mu frowned slightly.
Luo Shen shook his head and said: "This is also a matter of no choice, it is really necessary to completely rank according to the victory or defeat of the duel, not to mention whether the energy and physical strength of the students are allowed, it will take a long time to say that it will take a long time." ”
"The reason why the academy holds a ranking battle is that the ultimate purpose is to stimulate the students' competitive spirit and stimulate them to cultivate hard through rankings. ”
"That's right. Du Mu agreed with the head.
"And the rankings aren't permanent. Luo Shen continued, "At the beginning of the second semester, each student has a challenge opportunity every month, and you can challenge any of the top 100 in the grade, as long as you have the strength, you will definitely be able to achieve the due ranking in the end, without fear of being buried." ”
This Du Mu heard of it for the first time, he had been immersed in cultivation before, and he didn't know much about many of the rules of the academy.
Fortunately, there is a jack-of-all-trades like Luo Shen.
As the two were talking, tips for preparing for the game had already begun to play on the screen in the lounge.
Seeing this, everyone in the lounge, including Du Mu and Luo Shen, got up in unison and walked outside.
The round of 32 qualifiers correspond to exactly 32 competition regions, so all the matches in this round are played at the same time.
It is worth mentioning that from the start of the round of 32 qualifiers, until two hours before the competition, the participating players will not receive the corresponding information notification, including the time of the game and the name of the opponent.
And Lin Dong is his opponent this time.
"It seems to be the peak strength of one star. Du Mu groaned secretly.
The students who can enter the top 64 are at least the peak strength of one star, and Du Mu has never seen the name Lin Dong on the two-star list, so the strength level of the other party can be speculated.
When he came to the arena, Du Mu looked up and saw that Lin Dong, as an opponent, was already waiting there.
Feeling Du Mu's gaze, Lin Dong's heart on the opposite side tightened, and his expression became more and more solemn.
The strength of Du Mu's two-star martial artist has already spread throughout the entire grade, and the students who competed with him in the first two games were all killed in seconds without exception, and Du Mu didn't even draw his sword.
In the face of an opponent with such a huge disparity in strength, it would be false to say that he was not nervous!
As if sensing Lin Dong's great enemy, Du Mu comforted him warmly: "Don't be nervous, it will only hurt for a moment, and then it won't be." ”
Lin Dong: "......"
How strange that sounds like this!
The third-grade senior standing between the two glanced at the two helplessly, and said loudly: "The game is about to start, please get ready!"
With that, he immediately stepped back.
Seconds later, the icy sound of electronics echoed over the field.
"Enter the countdown, three, two, one, the game begins!"
The moment the words fell, Lin Dong suddenly pulled out his long sword and slashed back.
According to the rumors he heard, Du Mu's opponents in the first two games were all stunned by his astonishing speed of teleporting to the back, so he made up his mind at the beginning and immediately attacked the rear as soon as the game began.
Although it is impossible to win the battle, at least you have to resist the opponent's first move, and you must not be killed in seconds, that is really humiliating!
However, the battle did not happen in the way Lin Dong expected, and the blow he swung in the back missed, leaving the rear empty.
Even due to the exertion, he almost stumbled and fell.
Before Lin Dong could stand firm, there was a sharp pain in the back of his neck, and darkness came like a tide, instantly drowning consciousness.
One last thought crossed his mind before he fainted.
"I knew I wouldn't turn around......"
Du Mu withdrew his palm and looked at Lin Dong on the ground suspiciously.
"The game is over, Du Mu wins!"
This time, without waiting for Du Mu's signal, the third-grade senior sister immediately raised her arm to announce the results of the competition, and she was extremely proficient.
Du Mu was stunned, then reacted immediately, and turned away amid the cheers of the audience.
"It's another spike!"
"This strength is stronger than some two-star martial artists!"
"Didn't you pay attention? Du Mu hasn't even drawn his sword yet!"
......
As soon as he walked off the field, Du Mu caught a glimpse of a figure walking out of the corner of his eye, and turned his head to see that it was Lei Kai.
Sensing Du Mu's gaze, Lei Kai turned his head and stared at him indifferently for a few seconds, and then left silently.
"Amu. ”
Luo Shen's voice came from his side, drawing Du Mu's attention back.
Luo Shen stared in the direction that Lei Kai left: "I heard that Lei Kai is the same as you, so far in the game, he has solved the other party with empty hands!"
"Well, it looks like he's going to be a good opponent. Du Mu smiled disappreciatively, and turned his head to look at Luo Shen, "How is the game?"
"I was lucky to meet an opponent at the peak of one star. ”
Luo Shen smiled, paused, and said: "But I'm afraid the next game won't go so smoothly, and the opponents you have to face are basically two-star level." ”
Du Mu nodded when he heard this.
There are a total of 24 two-star martial arts students in this year's year, and most of them will enter the top 32, and it can be said that there is a high probability of encountering a two-star opponent in the next battle.
"Let's go outside first. Luo Shen proposed.
After winning the round of 32, there were no other games in the morning.
As for the qualifiers for the round of 16, they will be held in the afternoon.
So far, except for the students of Du Mu and Lei Kai, who are at the level of strength crushing, the strength of the vast majority of the students is not much different, so the battles are usually fierce, last for a long time, and consume a lot of physical strength.
With this in mind, the breaks in between will be spaced apart to give the players plenty of time to recover.
The two chatted as they walked forward.
When passing through the No. 18 area of the previous game, Zhou Qixi walked down with a spear on his back, looked up, and his eyes collided with Du Mu, and they were both stunned.
After hesitating for a few seconds, Zhou Qixi still walked over.
"Long time no see. ”
"Hmm. Du Mu smiled and looked at the competition venue not far behind her, where a young man was sitting on the ground with a depressed face, "Congratulations on entering the top 32." ”
Zhou Qixi smiled a little embarrassedly when he heard this.
"I won't congratulate you, after all, it's normal for you to be in the top 32. ”
When the words fell, she showed a look of wanting to say something, and said slowly: "I have watched Lei Kai's games, and the opponents were all killed in one move, his strength is really strong, you have to be careful." ”
Du Mu smiled and said, "Thank you, I will." ”
Zhou Qixi breathed a sigh of relief, and finally noticed Luo Shen, who had been looking at them with a smile on his face, his cheeks couldn't help but redden, and he hurriedly said, "Hello, Luo Shen." ”
"Hello, classmate Zhou Qixi. ”
Zhou Qixi was slightly puzzled: "Classmate Luo Shen knows me?"
She hasn't introduced her name yet.
Luo Shen smiled: "Of course I know, except for Ah Mu, classmate Zhou Qixi is the biggest dark horse in this ranking battle." ”
