Chapter 2: The Tomb of the Knife

In the winter of 2877, Fang Can, who had just received his final report card, immediately ran to his home, which was only two kilometers away from the school, because there was still half an hour before the duel arena of the sixth stage of the "Knife Tomb" began.

Speaking of "Knife Grave", a high-fidelity fighting game that is popular in the Federation, I have to mention the existence of Skynet, as early as 130 years ago, Skynet, which is regarded as the invention that can best promote the improvement of the quality of the whole people in the millennium, was created.

The ancient Internet was completely abandoned by the federal government, and Skynet, as a cross-era invention, made it possible for humans to accomplish almost anything without leaving home, yes, anything, as long as you can think of it, can be implemented through Skynet.

Equivalent to the identity documents of the past, federal citizens are born with a Skynet receiver by the government, which is just a bracelet-like thing, but has a thousand times more performance than the terminal of the ancient era. If you do a poll, what is the most inseparable thing for human beings today, I believe that Skynet will definitely become the only choice.

Fang Can, who returned home, rushed into his room in three steps and two steps, pressed the start button of the Skynet receiver he wore on his wrist, and three seconds later, he had already entered his own Skynet personal space.

The design of Fang Can's Skynet personal space fully reflects his obsession with "Knife Tomb", which is a space of more than 100 square meters, and the furnishings in it are all kinds of ancient weapons that can only be seen in real objects in museums, such as knives, guns, swords, halberds, axes, forks, whips, and sticks.

"There are still two minutes to start......" Fang Can quickly picked up "Knife Tomb", and after entering his personal ID, Fang Can's character in the game appeared in the audience at the "Knife Tomb" finals.

Just for the ordinary audience in this game, it cost Fang Can two months of pocket money, which may not sound like anything at first glance, but if you know that Fang Can's father is the president of the Sky Star Minerals Company, which is the second largest Star Minerals Company after the Aquila Minerals Company under the federal government; His mother is the Vice-President of the First Federal Research Institute, and to date, the only woman in the Federation to hold the position of Deputy Director of the First Research Institute, with an annual salary in hundreds of millions of federal currencies...... After learning this, it should be clear what a huge amount Fang Can's pocket money should be.

As a cross-galaxy realistic game with 20 billion registered users, 3 billion simultaneous online users, and included in the soldier training system by the federal military, "Knife Grave" has a powerful charm that is irresistible.

There are two camps for you to choose from in "Knife Grave", the ancient martial arts field and the mecha field, once the field is selected, it cannot be changed, and these two field camps are also two different directions taken by human development and evolution today, there are conflicts and commonalities.

Fang Can's choice of the ancient martial arts realm is also what he has been most passionate about since he was a child, in this interstellar era, the Great Federation already has six colonial stars, including the human home planet Earth, a total of seven habitable planets, and with the increasing development of science and technology, human beings have also realized the necessity of self-strengthening, and the two of ancient martial arts and mecha power have become the national policies of the Great Federation today.

Speaking of ancient martial arts, it is necessary to mention one of the predecessors of the Great Federation, Huaxia Kingdom, an ancient country with a long history for thousands of years, capable people and strong people have created tens of thousands of strange exercises to exercise themselves, which are uniformly classified as ancient martial arts.

These martial arts come in all shapes and types, and their effects are also different, but most of them are based on stimulating the potential of the human body and strengthening the weak body to the unthinkable realm in a strange way.

Three hundred years after the establishment of the Great Federation, ancient martial arts became a strong country and strong people skills cultivated by all the people, and in just one hundred years, with the magical strengthening effect of ancient martial arts cultivation, hundreds of billions of citizens of the Great Federation have become more than one level stronger on the original basis, and it is precisely because of this that the Great Federation of Earth has been recognized by the Caesar Empire, the highest civilization empire in the galaxy, and has a ninth-level civilization, and has been included in the fifth-level civilization country.

Although there are tens of thousands of fifth-level civilization empires in the vast galaxy, in the eyes of high-level civilization countries, the Great Earth Federation is only an extremely backward planet that is slightly stronger than a barbarian planet.

However, after being recognized as a fifth-level civilization, at least the Earth Federation can obtain higher-end development technologies from the Caesar Empire, even if these high-end technologies that are regarded as miracles by the earthlings are just the outdated research of the Caesar Empire hundreds of thousands of years ago, it is enough to make the development of the Earth Federation advance by leaps and bounds.

After that, in less than two hundred years, the Earth Federation successfully developed its own starfleet, and even developed various mecha with amazing combat effectiveness.

With the birth of mecha, people gradually began to despise the utility of ancient martial arts, and preferred the product of high-end technology - mecha.

Of course, there are also a large number of human beings who have always had an extremely reverent attitude towards Gu Wu, and the combination of two strategies to strengthen the country has become an inevitable compromise national policy.

In "Tomb of the Knife", whether you support the ancient martial arts or lean towards mechas, or even both, there is no problem, in "Tomb of the Knife", you can experience the fierce collision of two different enhancement methods.

Whether Gu Wu or mecha is stronger or weaker, you can find the answer in "Sword Tomb".

The decisive match of the Sixth God of War Contest in "Sword Grave" is still the same as in previous years, and it is decided by the strongest selected in the ancient martial arts field and the mecha field.

When Fang Can, who was in the audience, saw the "Demon Winter", the number one powerhouse in the ancient martial arts field dressed in white armor, stepping into the final venue, he did not hesitate to send a hoarse cheering shout, but soon his voice was drowned out in the crazy love of many girls who were obsessed with the legendary figure of the ancient martial arts domain "Demon Winter".

"Look! He looked at me out of the corner of his eye! So blissful! ”

"My Prince Charming, even if I can die for you, I am willing."

"My Dongdong, I'll wait for you to win and step on the colorful clouds to marry me......"

Fang Can was very chilled for the single eyelid girl beside him who claimed to want to step on the colorful clouds to marry her in the "Demon Winter", and at this moment, several shocking golden and iron resonances suddenly sounded, "Qiang...... Qiang ...... Qiang ......"

At the same time, the audience of the Mecha Domain also erupted in a burst of excited cheers, because the Mecha Fighting God in their minds appeared.

A black humanoid mecha about five meters tall slowly stepped into the entrance, the Beta Type III humanoid mecha, a mecha that is extremely commonly used in "Knife Grave", is known for its stability and ease of access.

It is classified as a bronze level in the fifth-class mecha classification in "Knife Graveyard", which is far from comparable to the top-level platinum mecha, whether it is mobility, armor, firepower or even maneuverability, it can only reach one-tenth of the platinum-level mecha.

But if it is clear that the strongest player in the field of mechas, "Hurricane", is driving this beta III, I believe that even a hardcore player driving a platinum mecha will have to retreat.

Because it was with this outdated bronze-level beta III mecha that swept the entire mecha domain, and broke into this God of War finals with a complete victory record, in the minds of mecha domain players, he almost seemed to be a "god"-like existence.

When Demon Winter and Storm both stepped on the final field, the noise gradually stopped, and the system referee turned on the venue switcher, and the two supreme powerhouses of the Ancient Martial Domain and the Mecha Domain appeared in a barren desert.

The battle map "Golden Desert" is a fair playing field given by the system after measuring the strength of the two, and it is also the place where the only god of war title in "Knife Grave" is about to be decided.

The surrounding audience had already held their breath at this moment, their eyes focused on the Demon Winter and Blasting Wind in the "Golden Desert", and the moment the system sounded, both of them moved for the first time.

The two figures crossed in mid-air at an extremely fast speed that was difficult to distinguish with the naked eye, and a sound of gold and iron resonance sounded, and the "uranium light sword" in the hand of Demon Winter, which can be called the strongest weapon in the ancient martial arts domain, hit the beta type three diagonally and slashed down the laser kinetic energy knife, in terms of strength, even an ancient martial arts powerhouse like Demon Winter could not fight hard with a mecha with 50,000 kinetic energy.

But his ancient martial arts skills made up for this shortcoming, and at the moment when the swords intersected, Demon Winter's body turned rapidly, and in one unload, the huge force of the laser kinetic energy knife pressing down was just right.

"It's a good move...... If I remember correctly, this move should be the basic martial art of Taijimen, and I also learned it at the beginning......"

Fang Can's eyes in the audience suddenly lit up, he rubbed his hands very excitedly, and then showed a wry smile helplessly, "It is worthy of being the number one strong man in the ancient martial arts field, even the basic martial arts can exert such an amazing effect, if you change yourself, it is estimated that you will be hung up directly." ”

Speaking of which, Fang Can started playing as early as the open beta of "Knife Tomb", generally speaking, even if the talent is average, but six years of game time is enough for players to mix with the title of hall master, but so far, Fang Can's level in the Ancient Martial Domain is still only a high-level disciple, which is slightly higher than the rookie who has just entered the game.

As the battle in the Golden Desert became more and more intense, the exclamations in Fang Can's mouth were also repeated, "Sword Sect's Army-Breaking Style, Wind Scroll Style, Wind Riding Style, Dragon Teng Style...... Wudang's Tiyun Zong, Shaolin's Bone Shrinking Gong, Kunlun's Tongjian Mixed Yuan Gong, and Heavenly Demon Sect's Shapeshifting and Changing Shadows are ....... too good, idols! ”

Due to the fierce battle in the field, no one paid attention to Fang Can's behavior at all, if he was a caring person, he would definitely be shocked by the name of the ancient martial arts he reported.

Because since the beginning of the war, whenever Demon Winter makes a move, Fang Can will also report the name of a type of ancient martial art accordingly, and the most important thing is that all the martial arts reported by Fang Can are accurate, as if he is fighting against the Beta Type 3 mecha.

You must know that in the ancient martial arts camp of "Sword Tomb", there are thousands of ancient martial arts sects that players can choose to join, and the same player can also choose multiple sects to study, but the premise is that they must complete the ultimate test of the original sect.

Speaking of this ultimate test, it is also quite strange, it is not a test of the player's combat strength, but a comprehension test by the system, that is, the so-called verbal test.

When the system recognizes that you have comprehended all the martial arts of the sect, the player can choose a new sect to join.

In the past six years, Fang Can has not been as good as he could have done in "Knife Tomb", and even a little bleak, but he has successfully passed the ultimate test of eighty-seven sects, but he has always been more tuned, and he has not talked to others about this seemingly buggy system setting.

In the blink of an eye, the battle was coming to an end, and the demonic winter gradually retreated from the strong threat at the beginning, but it was the wind that controlled the beta type three that launched wave after wave of onslaught.

"Iron Wall Sword Curtain...... This is the strongest defensive martial art of the Sword Sect. ”

Seeing that Demon Winter jumped up, the uranium lightsahber slammed up, and the sword shadow in the sky suppressed the fierce attack of the beta type 3 mecha, Fang Can frowned instead, "I actually didn't take the opportunity to counterattack, could it be that the idol is physically exhausted, I don't know what kind of mental method the idol is cultivating, if it is the top-level SS mental method, even in the face of the offensive of the platinum-level mecha, it should be able to fight with it for more than ten hours!" ”

Although Fang Can's knowledge of ancient martial arts theory is extremely profound, a person who has been systematically recognized and is proficient in the ancient martial arts of the eighty-seven sects, even if he puts it in real life, he can also get the title of ancient martial arts doctor.

But all this is only based on theory, and Fang Can, who has basically zero actual combat experience, doesn't know that there are actually many more.

It is true that the Heart Method cultivated by Demon Winter is the top-level SS-level Heart Method, but he is on the verge of physical strength at the moment.

The terrain of the Golden Desert scene requires him to move five times as much as usual; The high consumption effect of the uranium lightsaber forced him to pour more than forty percent of his energy into it, otherwise even if he could attack the mecha's vital points, it would be difficult to inflict fatal damage on it; The strategy of manipulating the Beta Type 3 to defend and attack at the beginning caused Demon Winter to waste a lot of energy at the beginning of the battle; The combination of the three eventually led to the shadow of the demonic winter's gradual defeat.

With a loud bang, the wind that manipulated the Beta III type broke through the "Iron Wall Sword Curtain" with a dazzling Thomas whirlwind, followed by a variable speed impact, the laser kinetic energy knife collided with the uranium lightsaber of the Demon Winter as if it had eyes, and the Demon Winter, which was physically exhausted, failed to stage a good show again, and the uranium lightsaber was shaken out of his hand, and his body was hit by the left fist of the Beta III type, and it flew thirty meters away like a cannonball.

The white-clothed battle armor on Demon Winter's body was full of cracks, and he struggled a few times to get up, raised his hand slightly and made a gesture to admit defeat, not that he didn't want to fight again, but at this moment he didn't even have the strength to take a step.

When the system referee announced that the God of War Championship in this realm was won by the first powerhouse in the mecha domain, Fang Can habitually touched his nose and snorted, and went offline without thinking twice.
