Chapter 144: Instant Kill
There was a moment of silence in the audience.
Silence lasted for a few seconds, followed by an uproar.
Many wiped their eyes repeatedly, with expressions of disbelief on their faces.
Among these people, the vast majority of them were just ordinary people or martial apprentices, and even the young man who was a one-star martial artist couldn't see Du Mu's movements clearly, let alone talk about them.
As soon as the match began, they saw Du Mu suddenly disappear, and when he reappeared, he was already behind his opponent, and he slashed at the back of the opponent's neck with a knife in his hand, ending the duel.
The whole process didn't even take a second, the game was already over, and they couldn't even see how Du Mu moved behind his opponent.
However, this did not hinder their understanding in the slightest, and there was no doubt that Du Mu's strength completely crushed the opponent.
"That's amazing! I can't see his movements at all!"
"Who is this person, so strong!"
"I don't know, but if you can be selected as a seeded player, it should be an elite student!"
"Go back and ask!"
At this time, Xingluo students were usually still in the competition or had just finished the competition, so the vast majority of the people sitting in the audience were people from outside the school, and they didn't recognize Du Mu, the first-grade 'man of the hour'.
On the field, Du Mu slowly withdrew his palm, turned his head to look at the third-grade senior who was a little stunned, and asked, "Can you announce the results of the game?"
The third-grade senior sister came back to her senses, looked at Du Mu deeply, and said loudly: "The group stage of No. 72 is over, the winner Du Mu!"
After the words fell, she looked at Du Mu and said in a deep voice: "Congratulations on your successful promotion, the specific arrangements for the next round of the competition will be sent to your mobile phone in the form of a message later, pay attention to it!"
"Thank you!"
Du Mu left the arena without any delay and returned to the lounge.
Seeing that Du Mu came back in less than five minutes, many people showed surprised looks.
That's too fast, isn't it?
However, no one thought that Du Mu would lose in the group stage, and the doubts in their hearts flashed away, and they then retracted their gaze and ignored it.
"So fast" Luo Shen was also a little surprised.
"Quick fix. ”
Du Mu shrugged his shoulders, after all, it was a ranking battle, there was no need to hide his strength, he would definitely have to go all out when it came to the finals, there was no point in hiding it.
Except, of course, Gray Dream and Extreme Breaker.
Even so, with his three-star level strength in his normal state, opponents below the two-star martial artist basically can't hold up one move, and it is inevitable that he will end quickly.
"Let's go, the next round won't start until the afternoon, let's go eat first. Du Mu said.
After the group stage is over and the 128 winners are decided, the next step is the 128-64 qualifier, that is, the round of 64.
According to the competition process announced by the organizing committee a few days ago, the round of 64 will not start until the afternoon, and Du Mu doesn't want to sit in the lounge and wait.
......
Another lounge.
Cao Haoxuan put down his phone with an ugly face.
Half a minute ago, he received a call from Zhao Maoqing and learned that Du Mu had successfully advanced to the round of 64, and still won the victory by killing his opponent in seconds, showing his strength beyond expectations.
At this time, he didn't know that he and even the entire shepherd club had been put on the table by Du Mu, that guy had clearly reached the two-star martial artist, and it was in order to trap them to increase the odds, so he deliberately did not apply for the assessment.
I'm afraid that the previous weakness was also acting!
When he thought of this, he felt very uneasy!
With a bet of 15 million star yuan and a odds of 1:10, if Du Mu really won the championship, the loss of the Shepherd Club would be great, and at that time, he would definitely not be able to get better.
"It doesn't matter, it's just a matter of killing a one-star mid-to-high-level opponent in seconds, any two-star martial artist can do it!" Cao Haoxuan secretly comforted himself, and then glanced at Lei Kai, who was recuperating with his eyes closed, and his heart slowly settled down.
"Yes, and Lei Kai is here, even if that guy is a two-star martial artist, he will definitely not be able to win!"
In the afternoon, the round of 64 qualifying matches were held as scheduled.
The crowd around the stadium was nearly full, and the noise reverberated over the field.
There were undoubtedly more people watching the qualifiers in the afternoon than in the group stage in the morning.
Most of the students who were brushed off will return to the spectators to watch the game as spectators.
"Number 21, the playing field is area 18, the same as in the morning. ”
In the lounge, Du Mu looked at the information on his mobile phone and muttered to himself.
Luo Shen on the side smiled when he heard this: "I'm the 28th, and I just happened to be in the first round." ”
There are a total of 64 matches, with the first 32 matches being the first round and the second round being the second round.
"Let's go, it's time for us to play. Luo Shen looked at the electronic screen, and there was a sound prompting the players to play.
When I came to the No. 18 venue, the referee happened to be the third-grade senior sister in the morning, and the latter was also stunned for a moment when she saw Du Mu, but quickly returned to normal, and said in a deep voice: "The game is about to start, please get ready!"
Du Mu's opponent was a tall young man with a strong physique, he obviously recognized Du Mu, and there was a hint of excitement in his eyes when he looked at the latter.
Seeing the young man's eyes, Du Mu's heart suddenly became clear.
There are many people who threaten to beat him in the ranking battle and become famous in one fell swoop, and he has not heard much about this aspect.
The man in front of him seemed to be one of them.
In fact, after discovering that his opponent was Du Mu, the sturdy young man immediately became excited, and he felt that he was lucky to meet Du Mu, a famous but not strong 'man of the hour'.
As long as he can beat Du Mu in the competition, he will immediately become famous for the entire first grade.
"It is rumored that Du Mu has not passed the two-star martial artist assessment, so he is likely to be a one-star peak or a one-star high-level strength, if it is a one-star high-level, it is fine, but the one-star peak is a little tricky!"
The sturdy young man quickly weighed it in his heart, and made up his mind to launch a crazy offensive at the beginning of the battle, giving full play to his physical advantages, consuming Du Mu, as long as Du Mu showed fatigue, he immediately used his hole card martial arts to win the game in one fell swoop!
"The most important thing is momentum! Use momentum to overwhelm the other party!" he said fiercely in his heart.
The cold electronic sound began to sound, and the sturdy young man took a deep breath and looked at Du Mu with a fierce look like a beast hunting.
Du Mu: "......"
“...... Three, two, one, the game begins!"
"Ahh
The sturdy young man suddenly stared at him, roared, and was about to sprint as soon as his feet moved.
Then, as soon as his roar came out, it stopped abruptly, and the whole person rolled his eyes, lost consciousness and fell to the ground.
Behind him, Du Mu slowly withdrew his palm, glanced at the young man on the ground speechlessly, and then looked at the referee.
The third-grade senior was silent for a few seconds, and then announced that Du Mu had won.
Wow!
There was an uproar in the audience.
This time, not only outside the school, but also many first-year students were sitting in the audience.
Originally, seeing that it was Du Mu on the field, they were still waiting with great interest to enjoy a fierce duel, and by the way, they evaluated the strength of Du Mu, a 'man of the hour', but they didn't expect the battle to end in the blink of an eye.
This scene shocked them beyond words.
Those who can stand out from the group stage are more or less famous in the first year.
There are many people who know that the strength is at least a one-star high-level, and those who can kill a one-star high-level in one blow can only be a higher-level martial artist, and even a one-star peak in the same level can't do it.
In other words, Du Mu's strength has properly reached the level of a two-star martial artist.
"Hey, this guy is hiding so deeply!"
"Another two-star martial artist!"
"Obviously you have the strength of a two-star martial artist, why don't you apply for the assessment?"
"Are you stupid and forgot the bet of 5 million star dollars?"
"Damn! I almost forgot about this!"
"Poof, I feel like there's going to be a good show next!"
In the midst of everyone's discussions, Du Mu left the venue leisurely and returned to the door of the lounge.
After a while, Luo Shen also returned.
"You're still so fast. ”
Du Mu smiled faintly: "Let's go, there is no more of us today." ”
In addition to the round of 64 in the afternoon, the 64 students who lost still need to continue to play and determine 36 places to enter the top 100.
The real top 32 qualifiers are scheduled for tomorrow.
On the way to the exit, Du Mu looked up at the giant electronic screen, and his footsteps suddenly stopped.
"What's wrong," Luo Shen asked.
"Wait a minute. Du Mutou didn't reply, "I just have a friend who is competing, let me take a look." ”
Hearing this, Luo Shen showed a hint of surprise on his face.
He and Du Mu have known each other for so long, but he has never seen him get close to any student and talk about friends.
Curious, Luo Shen followed Du Mu's gaze.
The second round of the round of 64 is being broadcast live on the electronic screen.
The screen is split into four pieces, and the matches are played on all four venues at the same time.
One of them is a match between a good-looking girl with a spear and a young man with a knife.
And Du Mu's gaze happened to fall on this screen area.
Looking at the duel on the screen, Du Mu was slightly surprised in his heart, but he didn't expect Zhou Qixi to actually pass the group stage.
In my memory, when she took the martial arts exam, Zhou Qixi's combat strength was only more than 50, and now looking at her performance in pressing her opponents, she has obviously advanced to the level of a two-star martial artist.
You must know that the combat power of a two-star martial artist is 300, and in more than four months, the combat effectiveness of nearly 250 has increased, and it is almost catching up with him.
"What a strong talent...... he muttered under his breath.
Luo Shen listened to his self-talk, and when he heard the words, he showed a look of surprise, carefully looked at the duel on the screen, and hesitated: "You mean that girl, the strength of the two-star martial artist is indeed not bad......"
The implication is that it can only be considered good.
"Speaking of which, since the beginning of the ranking battle, there have been many two-star martial arts students who have hidden their strength, except for Ah Mu, this girl is also one. ”
Du Mu retracted his gaze and looked at Luo Shen: "Could it be that you have memorized the looks and names of all the two-star martial arts students?"
"Know yourself and know your opponent, and win all battles. Luo Shen smiled, paused, and added, "After today's competition, the latest list of two-star martial arts students should be updated on the forum, and you can download a copy then." ”
"Okay!" Du Mu bowed his head and focused on Zhou Qixi's game.
Zhou Qixi's opponent seemed to only have one-star high-level strength, and he fell behind in the whole battle, very embarrassed, and defeat was almost doomed.
Sure enough, after only supporting for less than two minutes, the man was swept to the ground by Zhou Qixi with a shot, and then decisively admitted defeat.
Coming down from the arena, Zhou Qixi just saw Du Mu turn around and leave.
She walked to where Du Mu was, turned around and looked around, and found that the screen was displayed exactly where she was playing, and her heart jumped.
"He was just watching my game"
