Chapter 67: A Tough Opponent
After the grand and enthusiastic opening, under the expectation of everyone, the first battle of the final began.
Player No. 1 and Player No. 64 lay down in the induction cabin and entered the virtual world, and then their three-dimensional projection appeared on the ring, and their body size was magnified to nearly 18 meters high, as if two giants stood facing each other, whether it was the subtle expressions on their faces or the subconscious habitual small movements, they were all displayed in front of tens of millions of viewers.
The host loudly introduced the information of the two players behind the scenes, and at the same time, the video was played on the top of the ring, which was the highlight of their past matches.
Player No. 1 is an intermediate-level samurai, practicing the Biochemical Force, proficient in three martial arts, very rich in combat experience, and has maintained a winning record since the competition, and his strength is outstanding, so he was arranged by the referee to the first part and drew lots to get No. 1. Player No. 64 is also an intermediate-level samurai, practicing the Speed of Light Force, proficient in two martial arts, and is one of only ten female players. She lost two trials in the trials, and although she won all four knockout matches, she won each time relatively reluctantly, and her strength was at the bottom of the finalists, and she just happened to draw No. 64, which can be described as unlucky.
On the whole, the difference in strength between these two players is relatively obvious, whether it is the strength of the Force or the strength of martial arts, it is the No. 1 player who has the advantage, and it is not surprising that the No. 1 player will win the first victory.
Xin Lin found that the two people in the ring were a little nervous, and it was obvious that the atmosphere on the scene still affected his mood. Especially the No. 64 female player, her eyes flashed and she was already sweating in her palms.
"No. 1 has won." Xin Lin couldn't help but shake his head and made up his mind.
Lian Chengbi beside her also nodded slightly, agreed with Xin Lian's point of view, and sighed: "After all, she is an amateur, she has insufficient knowledge and experience, but it is not easy for her to reach the finals." ”
Until the one-minute countdown ended, neither of them spoke, and directly started fighting.
As expected, the No. 1 player suppressed his opponent from the opening and gained the upper hand, becoming more and more confident the more he played, forgetting about the audience, and gradually playing at a normal level, victory was in sight.
Xin Xiao didn't have much interest in the battle process, and he didn't care about the victory or defeat between the two, he focused more on the three-dimensional projection.
When the two of them fight in the ring, the three-dimensional projection of light and shadow sound is extremely realistic, whether it is the sound of fists breaking through the air, or the air waves under the feet of the players, every detail is meticulous, and even if you listen carefully, you can also hear the rapid breathing of the players in the battle, which is really breathtaking.
If you are immersed in the game, it seems that there are two real giants fighting in front of you, bringing exciting visual enjoyment, coupled with the loud shouts of the audience around you, you can't help but drive your emotions, and your brain is excited, stimulating the aggressive instinct hidden in your genes, and wantonly venting the desires in your heart.
In this atmosphere, almost everyone will be silently affected and join the ranks around them.
Xin Lin noticed that even Lian Chengbi, who had always been calm, looked at the ring intently, and her breathing was slightly heavier, which showed that her heart was not calm at this time.
Glancing at the players in the other boxes, most of them were like this, and their eyes were full of battle fire.
Only Xin Lin himself watched all this coldly, like an outsider, and could no longer be a simple audience integrated into it as before. He sighed like a mirror: "Telepathy has given me many unimaginable advantages, but it has also made me lose some ups and downs in my emotional perception, absolutely calm as a robot, I don't know if this is good or bad?" ”
In less than three minutes, the winner was decided in the ring, and the No. 1 player easily won the battle and advanced to the round of 32.
Amid the cheers of more than 100,000 spectators, the host took the stage to interview the winner. This is the only part of the final stage, no matter whether you win or lose, both sides have to say a post-match speech, the winner is complacent, and the loser is lonely.
After the interview, four huge holographic screens were erected in the ring, constantly replaying the match just now, and at the same time, martial arts experts commented, pointing out some details and highlights that ordinary viewers could not see, so that people could have a deeper understanding of the game.
Interviews and reviews are followed by advertisements, which is one of the important sources of income for the organizers.
By the time the second pair came on the stage, fifteen minutes had passed.
At this pace, only three games can be played in an hour, and with halftime, today's sixteen games will not be played until the afternoon. However, the Federation's martial arts tournaments have always been like this, and the audience has long been used to it.
Xin Lin felt a little bored, but he still had the idea of understanding the opponent, patiently watched the game go on, and discussed a few words with Lian Chengbi from time to time, attracting the jealous eyes of some players.
Five matches were played in a row, and high-ranking samurai also appeared, and none of them were upset.
It wasn't until the sixth race, when the No. 6 player appeared on the stage, that Xin Lin couldn't help but take a few more looks, carefully observing the champion who had the highest demand since the start of the competition.
Robson Allen, thirty-six years old, a high-level rigid body warrior, the Force cultivation is one line higher than Xin Lian's previous opponent Zhuo Qiuping, condensed forty-eight Force nodes! This person's martial arts talent is not bad, proficient in three martial arts, all of them have been practiced to the realm of thoroughness, among which there is a rock palm known for its fierceness, very powerful, and he himself is a rigid warrior known for his defense, under the combination of the two, it can be said that he is good in attack and defense, and swept all opponents in the ring.
"This Robertson's talent is only slightly worse than Golon's, if Goron also has the same cultivation resources, at his age, his strength will be even stronger." Xin Lin observed Robertson, comparing him to his best friend.
It stands to reason that Robertson's strength should not have been used in an amateur tournament like the Star Cup, and his talent is enough to participate in the draft, and he should be able to have a good pick.
But Robertson was in a unique situation, he had neither participated in the draft nor joined the varsity team in college, and he was a Europa native who worked in a martial arts gym and fully qualified for the Star Cup martial arts tournament.
All this is because Robertson was born in the Allen family, the Allen family operates the largest chain of martial arts halls in the Jupiter system, with branches in the four major moons of Jupiter and six space cities, with a total of more than 300 libraries, seizing more than 30% of the market in the Jupiter system, with an annual turnover of more than 100 billion, and is the star enterprise of Jupiter.
As a descendant of the Allen family, Roberson has been listed as the family's key cultivation object since he became a Force Warrior and checked out his good cultivation talent, and all cultivation resources are responsive, buy him three-star exercises, use the best potions, invite the best coaches, invest a lot of effort and money at any cost, and have only one requirement for him, that is, to concentrate on cultivation, be promoted to a military general as soon as possible, and be the signature figure of the family martial arts hall!
Robertson was a cultivator who was so happy with all of this that he gave up his studies and spent a few years at a third-rate university on Europa to get his degree, never attending a few classes in school throughout his college career, let alone joining the varsity team.
Even, Roberson has no interest in the draft, the salary of the Star Wars League in the second division does not appeal to him in any way, and the family gives him more than this amount of pocket money every year.
A few years ago, Robertson followed the family's arrangement to enter his own martial arts gym and served as vice president to prepare for taking over the martial arts gym in the future.
It just so happened that this year's Jupiter Chamber of Commerce held the Year Star Cup Martial Arts Competition, and offered attractive rewards to the top eight players and the companies they represented, and the Allen family was immediately tempted, in order to get the policy support of the Jupiter Chamber of Commerce, they did not hesitate to send Roberson to participate, and they were determined to win the championship!
At this time, the host began to introduce Robertson Allen, and in the video played on the big screen above, Robertson defeated one opponent after another in a devastating manner, and the audience became crazy and restless, shouting at the two people in the ring, and occasionally some bold and open women could be heard showing their love to Robertson in public.
Robertson in the ring has a strong body, strong muscles like a sculpture, tough facial features, short brown hair in a flat style, and a strong breath, at first glance, he knows that he is a ruthless character who is not easy to mess with.
The No. 59 player opposite him was an intermediate samurai, who was originally good, but at this time, his face was like dirt, and he was bitter in his heart, he intended to admit defeat, but he did not have the courage to make such a humiliating move in front of tens of millions of spectators.
"You don't have to fight this one, you can know whether you win or lose just by looking at the momentum, and there is no suspense." Lian Chengbi said with a solemn face.
Xin Lin nodded and said: "Robertson's strength on the surface is indeed the strongest in this year, he is No. 6, I am No. 8, according to the schedule, we will not meet until the sixth round, that is, the final battle to determine the champion!" ”
"What a coincidence!"
Lian Chengbi turned his head, his eyes flashed, and he said suspiciously: "He is the champion with the highest voice, your real strength is stronger than him, it can be said that among all the players, only the two of you are qualified to compete for the championship, but you will not fight head-to-head until the last battle, will there be anything greasy in this?" ”
Saying this, Xin Lin also felt that there might be a problem, but he thought about it carefully, shook his head and said, "No, besides you, who else would think that I have the strength to win the championship?" The referees expected that my chances of winning the championship were very low, and maybe they thought that I was overestimating that I would make it to the quarterfinals, which should be just a coincidence. ”
"It's better to be like this, there are too many dark box operations in federal amateur competitions." Lian Chengbi said worriedly.
"What about the dark box operation, speaking with strength in the ring, as long as it is strong enough, this kind of small action does not matter at all." Xin Lin is full of confidence, even if the Jupiter Chamber of Commerce intends to arrange himself and Roberson to the final battle, it is to increase the ratings and not affect the overall situation.
While the two were talking, the countdown in the ring was over, and the two sides fought.
Robertson's martial arts path is a fierce road, which is also the choice of most rigid warriors, a set of rock palms in his hands to exert a strong power, under the impetus of the strong Force cultivation, between the gestures, there is a lot of power, his opponent has no power to fight back, less than thirty seconds was slapped into a palm into a serious injury, easy to win.
After reading it, Xin Lin said in his heart: "The strength is good, you can play." ”
