Chapter Twenty-Three: Divine Skills (I)
"It's like having a big cat. ”
Evan put his arms around the temporarily unconscious girl, and when he noticed her gradually regaining consciousness, he let go of his embrace, and then dragged his coat off to cover her.
"Go in and talk. He looked at the weak-looking orange and reminded him.
"Hmm. Tachibana bowed slightly, let out a well-behaved nasal voice, glanced at him thoughtfully, and then turned and walked into the room.
"After the race, I'll leave for the High Bolen Star. To avoid accidents, you stay in my room during this time and don't go anywhere. Evan closed the curtains and whispered as he looked at Tachibana, who was kneeling on the pillow and flattening it.
"The game is over...... Tomorrow?" Tachibana looked at him in surprise.
"It's not going to be that fast, I've got to get something done, probably in three days. At that time, there will be a few friends who will go back with me, and there will be some ...... I can't really do it without a few helpers. Ivan narrowed his pupils slightly, and pressed the switch on the door light, allowing the soft light to illuminate the room.
Toot-toot-toot——!
At this moment, there was a sudden beep from his watch, which was rapid and sharp, especially harsh in a quiet room.
What the heck?
Midnight bells?
Didn't I adjust this thing to DND mode?
Three question marks appeared on Evan Eavan's head, and he raised his right hand in confusion, looked at the caller ID on the watch screen, and found that the identity information of the other party was actually Commissioner Danny - this guy seems to be the spokesperson of the consul, and if he gets the instructions of his superiors, he does have the privilege of forcibly communicating with himself regardless of the DND mode.
To avoid trouble, he first asked Tachibana to hide in the bathroom, then clicked the accept button—a three-dimensional hologram appeared in front of him with a swirling blue glow.
Correspondent Danny sat in front of a vintage fireplace, lit a cigar in his hand, took a deep breath, and then leaned back on the high-backed sofa for a long time before slowly exhaling a blue smoke. His pupils reflected the fire, as if it were a burning sapphire, and the majesty of power rose up in his body, which made people feel unreachable.
"It's a pleasure to see you again, Your Majesty Evan. ”
He took a puff of his cigar and gently exhaled a wisp of smoke, a proud smile on his face: "First of all, congratulations on your achievements in the King of Fighters tournament, and about tomorrow's finals, Your Excellency Archon has a message for me to convey to you." ”
"Speak, please. Evan calmly responded.
"As you know, the King of Fighters tournament was a federal tournament and it achieved unexpected ratings. In the case of playing at home, but their own people cannot win the championship, the people will be disappointed. Moreover, in this general election, His Excellency the Inspector also hopes that the King of Fighters himself can join his party camp and increase the influence of the campaign. ”
Commissioner Danny put his cigar aside, leaned closer to the display screen, and spat out a smoke ring with a solemn expression: "So, this person must be a citizen of the Federation, I think...... You should know how to do it, right?
"Of course, I'm going to lose to Zero. Ivan readily agreed, and then logically put forward the condition: "In exchange, I also have a trivial request, I hope that your Excellency can help. ”
"You say. The commissioner bowed slightly and leaned back into the high-backed sofa.
"Do you remember the bankrupt Hyperion Development Consortium? I asked a friend to spend a lot of money to buy it, but due to identity problems, the equity transfer procedures are more cumbersome, so I hope that Your Excellency can speed up the process a little. He said politely.
"That's it?" Danny looked at him with an eyebrow raised.
"Of course. ”
"I promise you. ”
Mr. Commissioner retrieved the cigar and did not suck it in a hurry, but sniffed it gently: "The formalities will be approved tonight, remember your promise, otherwise you should be able to imagine what will happen to you." Also, don't do things too fakely, and lose to Zero after a hard fight. ”
“......”
With that, he unilaterally cut off the communication, leaving Evan alone looking at the screen of his watch in distraction.
I don't know how long it took, Evan lowered his wrist with a cloudy expression, turned around to look at the three bright moons in the night sky through the curtains, and sighed softly: "It's really helpless that the dignified interstellar overlord can't even tolerate an exotic King of Fighters...... With this amount of strength, I'm afraid I can't sit on the throne of the overlord. The number of gases, the number of gases, the number of gases of this Kashni Federation, I'm afraid it's coming to an end. ”
One by one, one by one
Squeak-la-la——!
The adamantite gold gate carved with the pattern of the double fist fight slowly opened in front of Zero, and the platform as bright red as blood suddenly occupied all his sight. His expression was slightly distracted, then he quickly fell silent, his eyes sharpened as a blade, firmer than steel, and then strode into the legendary hot sand battlefield.
"Victory~!Victory~!"
"Victory~!Victory~!"
"Victory~!Victory~!"
The shouts of the spectators were refracted by the inner walls of the arena, as if coming from a distant place, and swirled around him.
At this time, Zero seemed to the arena as a rough sea, and the arena platform was the center of chaos. All the sounds and agitation were concentrated here, the shouts of the audience were deafening, and the smell of metal and death filled the nose. Even the red sand ground beneath his feet was flowing slowly, looking like a pool of thick blood.
But all of this was left behind by Zero—it was not the restlessness around him that robbed him of his eyes and thoughts, but the incredible sight in front of him.
The originally empty and indifferent arena suddenly changed shape in an instant, and countless figures of themselves galloped past in front of them, each using a completely different style of fighting techniques, devoting themselves to the selfless battle. There are countless opponents in front of them, among them are the heavily armed Ocean Clan, the tyrannical Demon Clan, the arrogant and conceited Dragons, the rock-solid Titans, and the Invisible Clans with completely elemental bodies.
In the fierce battle, people fall every second, both their own and their enemies, but more of themselves and enemies are pouring into this land. They fight on a wide variety of terrains, including skies, oceans, swamps, jungles, mountain peaks, and even outer space...... In the process, the experience of countless battles poured into Zero's mind like a rushing ocean current, causing him to have a splitting headache.
"Victory~!Victory~!"
The shouts of the audience came from the auditoriums in all directions, and the scenery in front of them quickly returned to normal.
"Phantom, hallucination?" Zero muttered in a hoarse voice, his eyes widened.
Soon, he knew that the battles he had just seen were more than just fantasies, as the countless combat experiences had been completely absorbed into the flesh and blood - to be precise, it was the genetic memories that had been activated that made him almost feel reborn.
For thousands of years, the combat experience sealed in the depths of the genes is gradually awakening through Zero's body through strong stimulation from the outside world. The skills and legacies of the awakening combat knowledge unfolded in his mind, the power of the punches, the frequency of breathing, the change of pace, and the strength that drove these movements, no detail was missing.
As he strode forward, Zero sorted out his chaotic thoughts, felt the vast amount of fighting experience in his mind, and his whole body trembled with excitement. He couldn't help but want to roar, and at this moment, the Pure Gold Gate directly opposite suddenly opened, and out of an unforgettable figure walked out, which also woke him up from his extreme excitement.
"Are you ready? Don't let me down this time. Evan was across from him, but Zero felt that the voice was coming from far away.
"This time, I'm going to knock you down!" Zero said confidently, looking at him with his head held high.
The next moment, a crisp bell interrupted the conversation between the two - the final of the King of Fighters tournament, the much-anticipated final battle began!
Everything around has also settled, and the audience on the viewing platform no longer shouts, but stares at the battlefield with bated breath, for fear of missing a single detail.
One by one, one by one
"I've been waiting for this day. ”
Zero exhaled, his hands clenched into fists, one in front of the other at his waist, his legs split and straddled slightly outward. In the process, the muscles of his whole body bulged as if they were inflated, the muscles and bones shifted, the green tendons were knotted, and the muscles were twisted and entangled by layers of thick green tendons, and suddenly the armor-like outline was highlighted outward. The red, high-temperature energy on the surface of his body was like a volcanic eruption, exuding devastating fluctuations, expanding and shaking from his body in circles.
"I'm going to knock you down!"
He bowed his body and stepped half a step back, and at this time, he suddenly soared, and smashed towards the opponent's figure with one punch.
Whoosh——!
This punch instantly extended into a dazzling red line, and the front section of the line suddenly forked, and suddenly hundreds of crimson fist shadows pierced the air. It showed ripple-like folds, and with a deafening roar, it rushed straight ahead.
“......”
Just as the dense fist shadow was about to overwhelm him, Evan finally moved, stepped and spun his waist, and threw a precise straight punch forward.
In the next instant, a ravine hundreds of meters long appeared in the center of the arena without warning. At the edge of the arena, the originally transparent defensive force field suddenly flashed with a dazzling light, and then, a deafening collision sound pierced people's eardrums, and the red sand sprayed out of the ground formed a magnificent waterfall in mid-air, obscuring the sight of all spectators.
The normal Dragon Killing Fist does not mean that he can use the Dragon Killing Fist at any time, but every punch he throws now has the power of the Dragon Killing Fist. To put it simply, he has completely fused the essence of the Whirlwind Slashing Iron Fist and the Flowing Water Rock Crushing Fist, and the dual strength that can instantly cut and concuss—every flat A is equivalent to the power of the previous accumulation and expansion.
One by one, one by one
Through the flying sand, Zero walked forward unscathed, looking like a flaming lead from a distance. His eyes were calm and full of fighting spirit, and in an instant, he flew over a distance of 100 meters to Evan in front of him.
When he was less than ten meters away from the target, Zero's pupils suddenly emitted a cold glow like a pinpoint, and his upper body sprinted obliquely. Like a flaming locomotive, it galloped towards Evan, red sand rising high behind him.
On both sides of his body, a series of crimson phantoms continued to change positions, flickering at the same time with his body—the next moment, dozens of crimson figures suddenly leaped out, galloping in the gladiatorial arena to form a circle, heading towards Ivan He.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh ——!
In an instant, dozens of zeros pounced on the opponent at the same time, and the center of the encirclement network immediately exploded into one whistling whirlwind after another. Bursts of overwhelming energy storms roared out with completely different attack postures of red figures. A loud bang shook the arena, and the hurricane rolled up countless gravels and opened a deep ravine in the ground.
Boom ——!
In the dense explosion, the crimson flames of light quickly gathered together, forming a huge tornado of flames, dragging out spiral-shaped scorched black marks, constantly shrinking and condensing energy. Inside the flame tornado, the speed of Zero's remnants became faster and faster, enveloping the opponent like an impenetrable rain curtain.
“......”
In the face of Zero's airtight attack, Ivan gradually became serious as he threw his fist to block. Clenched his fists suddenly, the muscles on his arms bulged and the green tendons bulged outward, and in an instant, he hunched over and slammed into the ground with a precise straight punch, which shook the flame tornado to pieces.
Then he turned his fist into a claw, and his fingers quickly drew and flicked, like a hunting net woven by shining gold thread, instantly enveloping all the crimson afterimages. Under the cutting of sharp light marks, those rushing crimson figures either collapsed and dissipated, or disappeared out of thin air.
Bang bang——!
For a moment, countless red sand flew in all directions, stirring up a large cloud of dust, but Ivan who was in the center of the attack was not injured at all.
In the smoke of sand and stones, one of the crimson figures bounced a few times, carrying high-temperature energy and disappearing. The next moment, his figure seemed to be formless and substantial, flashing on the opponent's back, and a red beam of light extended from the peak of his fist, and he blasted down without hesitation.
Whoosh——!
At the moment when Zero slammed his fist, Ivan suddenly split into countless afterimages, enveloping the entire space within a radius of two meters, and the former's figure suddenly froze in midair. Zero's expression was stunned, and before he could even react, hundreds of sharp cutting marks appeared all over his body, and blood shot out from it, raising a burst of red mist.
Boom ——!
Another wide ravine hundreds of meters long appeared in the middle of the field without warning, and golden lightning was faintly visible in the tumbling mud and sand above.
Bang——!
The high wall on the east side of the arena collapsed, and the bloodied Zero collapsed into the pile of rubble, and his whole body was covered with bloody wounds. Even his eyes were almost cut by the force of his fingers, revealing an expression of disbelief, staring at Evan's figure tightly.
That's impossible!
I made leaps and bounds almost every day, and when I first entered the market, I was awakened to a huge amount of martial arts experience, how could I still lose to this person!
