Chapter 10: The Arena
Su Ming exchanged for a washing machine, some toiletries and two sets of clothes, which cost Su Ming a total of 70 Void Coins, and now he has become a poor ghost again.
Su Ming, who was refreshed, walked out of the safe house, and it was already dark outside. The weather in the void is very close to reality, or this is reality.
When Su Ming was walking around during the day, he noticed a place called the Arena, and he decided to go there after having a meal.
After a full meal, Su Ming came to the sixth block, most of the buildings here are related to battles, such as the "Thor's Hammer" weapon repair shop on the street, the arena he plans to go to, the equipment enhancement hall, and the inscription hall.
[Hint: You've entered the Arena.] γ
[Note: Battles in the Arena are virtual battles, and you won't take any losses.] γ
[Hint: Your current stage is a stage.] γ
[Note: There are no ranking rewards for the first stage of the competition.] γ
Through the light curtain at the door, Su Ming came to a place similar to the Colosseum, and there were a few spectators sitting on the seats on the periphery.
[Hint: You have entered the Random Viewing Zone: First Tier.] γ
There are two people fighting in the arena, one of them is a middle-aged man with a short knife, and his opponent is a young man with a wooden battle.
The middle-aged man dodged the opponent's fireballs on the field, his steps were slightly clumsy, and he rushed in front of his opponent in a scorched black body after eating two fireballs.
The young man parried with a wooden battle, and was caught by the middle-aged man, and several stabs turned into points of light and disappeared into the field. A moment later, the middle-aged man also disappeared from the field.
Su Ming touched his chin, this may be a good place to practice his skills. He watched a few more battles, all of which were rookies pecking at each other.
Su Ming saw the rise and decided to try it himself.
I asked about the way to participate in the competition in the Void, and the method is very simple, just come to the arena and open the competition icon.
An information bar appeared in front of him, and Su Ming looked at the rules of the arena.
γPlease select the competition method:γ
First, individual competition. (Match by attribute.) )
Second, team competition. (Opponents are matched based on their position.) )
Third, qualifying competition. (Opponents are matched based on their position.) )
Fourth, compete with each other. (Subject to mutual consent.) )
[Note: You can't use any items other than recovery items or equipment in the arena.] γ
[Hint: Matched opponents.] γ
Su Ming was alone and chose to compete individually. Soon his vision distorted and he was on an arena.
The opponent is a bald man with a dagger. Su Ming took out the mantis bayonet, he planned to practice kendo here that he hadn't practiced for a long time.
The arena mirrored the true condition of his body, and the injury on Su Ming's arm had healed under the recovery of the Juggernaut Cloak, and now his health was 100%.
"Brother, don't be afraid. I'm fast! The bald man licked the dagger in disguise.
[Battle Countdown: 3-2-1, Begin!] γ
Su Ming walked over with a mantis bayonet with an expressionless face, and the bald man attacked first, and the dagger in his hand stabbed towards Su Ming's throat.
Su Ming raised his mantis bayonet and easily blocked it, he felt that the opponent's movements were very clumsy, and the attack was also very stiff.
The bald man continued to stab after being blocked by Su Ming, and Su Ming deftly dodged sideways. Looking at the opponent's skills, he felt that there was nothing to fight with this opponent, and the mantis bayonet slashed at his neck.
The bald man was very surprised when he was stabbed, and his blood volume dropped by half in an instant, and he hurriedly retreated to dodge. As soon as he retreated, Su Ming caught up.
Su Ming chased him to his side and raised his mantis bayonet to slash down, the bald man raised a dagger to defend, he was cut by this knife and couldn't hold the weapon, under Su Ming's continuous attack, he was stabbed twice, and finally turned into a rain of light and disappeared in the arena.
His vision distorted again, and Su Ming returned to his original viewing area. His body was still sitting in his seat, and the chair was still warm. This seems to be teleporting his consciousness over and copying the stat data into the battle.
"I'm Gan, I've met a master!" The bald man in a viewing area touched his head, he had just experienced a world mission. After strengthening some attributes, I wanted to come here to test the waters, but I was awakened by Su Ming's several knives. The opponent's strength and speed are a little ahead of him, and his combat skills are also very skilled, as if he is a person who has experienced two world missions.
Su Ming re-chose the ranked competition, hoping that the opponent he met in this way would be stronger.
[Note: You have selected Ranked Competitive and your current Competitive Ranking is 175340 (Tier 1). γ
[Hint: Matched opponents.] γ
His gaze distorted again, and Su Ming came to a ring-style arena.
The other party was a woman with a magic staff, with long braids and an age similar to Su Ming.
Su Ming fought with the mage for the first time, referring to the battle just now. The magic damage of the mage is very high, and two or three skills can be seconds.
[Battle Countdown: 3-2-1, Begin!] γ
"Whew!" A bright fireball flew over, and Su Ming immediately dodged, and the fireball grazed past him. Even if he was a meter away, Su Ming could feel the hot heat wave of the fireball, which would definitely be sour if he was thrown on his body by the fireball, but fortunately, there was no pain setting in the arena.
The fireballs exploded one after another at Su Ming's feet, and he couldn't dodge being hit by the fireballs, the flames jumped on his clothes, and a fireball knocked out one-fifth of his blood.
This female mage is much more fierce than the young man who watched the battle just now.
She is most likely a mage with full wisdom, and full strength and wisdom are not limited by her body. Mages can achieve an intelligence breakthrough of 100 and keep their force sensitive bodies in the single digits.
The female mage's mana is very abundant, and the CD of the fireball is also very short, and the mana value of twenty or thirty fireballs in a row still has not bottomed out. Fortunately, Su Ming strengthened three points of agility, otherwise he would have been burned to death by the opponent's kite.
Su Ming concentrated on approaching the female mage little by little, and the other party moved slowly on the field, and the fireball technique skillfully kept moving.
Su Ming's reflexes and movement speed have been improved to be much sharper than before, and the female mage should only learn one fireball skill and come here to practice her proficiency.
Su Ming slowly forced the other party into a corner, and the area of the ring restricted the woman's play. The female mage was a little flustered after being gradually led into the corner by Su Ming, and her fireball target began to twist a little.
Su Ming dodged a lot of damage with a zigzag step, his health was still half, and he accidentally hit another skill just now.
The range of activity of the female mage became smaller and smaller, and soon Su Ming was close to her, and after flashing a fireball close to her face, Su Ming stabbed her in the heart, and the female mage wanted to hit him with a staff, Su Ming tilted her head to dodge, and then slashed her throat.
[Hint: You have been promoted to 175,320 (1st rank.)] γ
The female mage dissipated into a particle of light in the field, leaving a pitch-black scorch mark on the arena. Su Ming returned to the viewing area again, recalling the battle experience just now, his footwork was a little wrong, and the two fireballs could be dodged as long as he paid attention.
Health has been restored to 100%, and sure enough, this is just a battle of consciousness. The Void can embody battle scenes for peripheral audiences to watch.
Both sides are first-order, and the advantages and disadvantages of ranged and melee combat have not yet been revealed. Su Ming only has the foundation of practicing in the kendo club, and his kendo results are not bad.
When he first saw the female mage, Su Ming tried to take out a semi-automatic sniper rifle, but was reminded by the Void that firearms could not be used in arenas below the third stage. Thinking about it, if you hold a machine gun and strafe it, it is impossible to dodge with the first-order and second-order redeemer reactions, which loses the competitive meaning.
[Hint: Matched opponents.] γ
This time the arena was a sandy field, and the opponent was a man with a machete. The material of the machete looks shiny, like white quality equipment or higher.
[Battle Countdown: 3-2-1, Begin!] γ
When the battle started, neither of them rushed forward, Su Ming and the other party slowly moved and confronted each other, looking for each other's flaws.
Spare two laps The other party took the lead in making a move, and the machete slashed at Su Ming's chest and abdomen with one move, Su Ming resisted, but he didn't know that this was a false move.
The machete immediately stabbed Su Ming in the chest, Su Ming held the bayonet to protect his chest and dodged sideways, and the other party took advantage of the situation to hit him on the body of the knife.
Su Ming took two steps back, the other party's strength was stronger than him, the machete slashed at the momentum, the bayonet held the blade and pulled away the inertia of the machete, the man was not interrupted, and slashed towards Su Ming's head with the remaining strength of the bayonet.
Su Ming immediately tilted his head, and the other party kicked him back a few more steps. This kick knocked out 7% of his health, and Su Ming raised his bayonet and walked towards the man again.
"Whoosh", the bayonet stabbed in the air, the man blocked the blade of the bayonet with the blade, Su Ming immediately burst into a continuous stab, and the bayonet greeted the other party's throat.
The other party was not in a hurry, and the machete launched an offensive on the top of his head to wrap his head around Su Ming. Su Ming's bayonet and machete kept chopping, the machete was strong and heavy, and Su Ming's bayonet was a little difficult to parry.
Su Ming did not give up the momentum of the attack, and his stabbing advantage was fast. After the last stab, Su Ming suddenly changed his offensive and slashed at the opponent's lower abdomen instead, the man pressed the knife to resist, and Su Ming punched him on the bridge of his nose.
The man didn't retreat after taking a punch, and slashed back at Su Ming's neck with a move, and Su Ming bent down and watched the blade of the knife almost cut through the tip of his nose. The other party retracted, and Su Ming also took advantage of the situation to distance himself.
The man seemed to be a good hand with a knife, and he didn't have any superfluous movements against Su Ming's moves.
The two rushed to each other again without nonsense, and the machete slashed Huashan with one move, Su Ming grabbed the handle of the mantis bayonet with both hands to resist, and the other party immediately cut away the fierce pursuit, and Su Ming was forced back step by step by the knife.
"Dang" The sound of machetes and mantis bayonets made a loud noise, and both weapons took two steps back.
"You're good, would you like to come to my team?" The man spoke.
"I'm sorry, I'm not interested for the time being." Su Ming held a mantis bayonet and prepared to launch an offensive.
"Boom!" The blade sparked, and Su Ming's right diagonal slasher was blocked by the man, and then a forward stab slashed past the man's cheek. Su Ming swept away, and the man stood in front of the bayonet blade.
Su Ming attacked against the man this time, his weapon was slightly shorter, and his attack speed was also ahead.
The bayonet and machete "dangdang", Su Ming stuck in front of the man and did not give him a chance to withdraw, and finally the man had a flaw, Su Ming turned around and stabbed him in the abdomen, and the other party wanted to exchange blood with Su Ming with a right chopper, but the distance between the two was too close. Su Ming grabbed his wrist with his left hand and stabbed the man's throat with his right hand.
The man tried to grab the bayonet with his left hand, and the tip of the knife passed through his palm and into the throat. The man was covered in a rain of light and slowly disappeared into the arena.
[Hint: You have been promoted to 175,320 (1st rank.)] γ
The extremely real battle scene made Su Ming's heart beat faster, and the competitive scene was almost no different from the real fight.
Su Ming, who returned to the viewing room, thought back to the battle with the man, and it was obvious that the redeemer in melee combat was more difficult than in the distance.
Based on his combat ability, Su Ming felt that it was also a good choice for him to specialize in improving his melee ability.
