Chapter 16 The Battle of Wits under the Rules

"Congratulations, victor, you've won a new battle grid and a right, what is your choice?"

"Right to object. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"You'll have '20 minutes plus free time to play' as a break, and you'll get 25% of your own ammo supply and a piece of armor, do you want to get your supplies now?"

"Now extract the ammunition supply, the armor supply remains." Edward said, and the ground in the four corners of the combat grid immediately opened four windows, and four robotic arms poked out of nowhere to recover the wreckage of the wasp and help Bruce fill it with 3 stun grenades and 3 armor-piercing rounds.

In this way, Bruce's ammo consumption is greatly reduced, but it is still consumed. Remembering to keep some ammunition from now on, Edward thought that his means of victory was the "Spiral Swordfall", and the amount of ammunition meant the amount of time he was involved with his opponent, and the length of time meant that the opponent's vigilance and durability were consumed...... Everything, you have to ensure that your spiral swordfall can defeat the enemy and win!

Of course, it would be great if you could think of other ways to win in battle.

After the battle with the Wasps, Edward also thought about learning the Wasps' routines, but Edward always felt that those few seconds of adjustment time were an insurmountable obstacle, so he had to give up.

After everything was ready, the mechanical walls around it slowly descended, and the entire arena returned to Bruce's view.

An emoji greeting from Locks came from the message bar in the cohoming cabin (no verbal communication during the match), Bruce looked around the large arena and finally saw only a poor Fighting Personality Smasher, Bruce waved at it, and Edward couldn't help but smile and sent a smile back.

Looking at the format of the whole big arena again, this round of matching and challenges eliminated about 40 contestants, so that the possibility of the later contestants being able to participate in the repechage match is not high, and they have no way out, and there is a chance that they will have to fight those opponents with halos...... It's time to compete for a place in the promotion.

"Huh?" Edward suddenly noticed that something was wrong, at the beginning of the game, there were a total of 6 with halos in the arena, but now it has become 7, and now there are still some mechanical walls with combat grids that have not been lowered, if Edward is not mistaken, there are now a total of 8 halos in the entire large arena?

Can you still gain or lose aura through competitions? Edward's (Bruce) gaze was fixed on the body of a light robot, the black-gray body outlining a reverie that was inconspicuous on the surface - it had no weapons, and Edward couldn't even guess how it fought, but Edward was sure that its fighter must be a girl.

It's such a mech that gets an aura after the first match, and ...... Unscathed, Edward looked at Bruce's body, there were already many dents or scratches on it, which were the traces left by the Wasp's machine gun, how did he get unscathed until he died?

As if sensing Bruce's gaze, the mech glanced over and nodded, and Edward looked around for a long time before he was sure it was for himself...... Does she know me? The more Edward thought about it, the more strange it became, he obviously didn't know any fighters as a fighter? Locks is the only one who has fought him face to face, isn't he......

Of course, Edward was subconsciously ignoring King Kong's.

And as the rules of the game gradually became clear, Edward also began to think about how to make himself among the top eight of the 100 people.

In fact, it's best to be able to win without a fight, like the Smasher, so that you can keep enough strength in the early stages of the match, and in the later stages, you can also fight with all your might.

In this way, in order to determine the 8 qualifiers, there should be 4 or 5 rounds of battles in this big arena, and if he participates in all of them, in the end, it will be a very disadvantageous situation against the other contestants, not to mention the amount of ammunition, Edward is more suspicious that the anti-gravity device cannot be supported.

If only I could get the aura like that girl...... Edward glanced in that direction again, and the light mech was still casually leaning against the undescending mechanical wall behind it, as if closing its eyes and recuperating?

……

……

After a short while, all the mechanical walls were lowered, and all the winners who did not decide the winner within 20 minutes were considered a draw, and the two sides continued to participate in the next round of matchmaking after a 20-minute break.

It has to be mentioned that so far, a total of 10 players in the field have an aura.

"Contestants are requested to have the right to challenge and the right to refuse." The voice of the AI system was remembered in the field, "You have 1 minute to judge, and then start matching freely." ”

Edward slowly felt that something was wrong, and by this time, the effect of the right to challenge and the right to refuse was becoming more and more important, but he had not yet thought of the real way to use it, and he always felt that his judgment at the beginning was wrong - if the right of refusal should be used to reject the "halo", what is the situation now that there are more and more "halos"?

If this continues, after two more rounds, won't the arena be all with halos? When the time comes, how should you judge?

"It's a really exciting game~ I believe everyone already has players they pay attention to~" Michael's face appeared on the big projection again, "Here I want to remind all the players, don't think that you can advance in the game round by round if you don't fight well, all the draws in the field are based on the situation that the two sides fight with all their strength and cause damage to each other, otherwise, the referee will judge the two sides to play negatively, and thus disqualify the ......"

It was with such a reminder that the second round began.

Bruce's eyes flashed blue as he stared at his new match.

……

……

"I exercise my right to object." Long Yin refused to match with the Holy Angel for the second time, "You better give up, I want to keep some strength." ”

"Ha~ You're a good opponent, at least in today's game, I can't do anything with you, I can only consume each other," the man said elegantly through the holy angel, "But since you sincerely gave up the right to refuse once, I have no choice but to be convinced~"

However, I still want to strangle you here, after all, it's not really a one-on-one fight here, is it? The man thought with a smile.

……

……

"Haha, there's finally an opponent, that's right," Locks laughed in the tuning chamber, and the Smasher's eyes lit up in a dazzling light, and he slowly stood up from the corner of the wall.

……

……

The Night Demon's matchmaker rejected the match.

……

……

"Spiral Swordfall!"

Bruce's twin swords slashed continuously, directly cutting off the left half of the opponent's body!

"Bruce VS Steel Tooth...... The game is over! Bruce, win! ”

"Challenge the right, now extract ammunition and armor supplies."

In the second round, 23 contestants were eliminated, and Bruce was not among them, and after this round of battles, the number of Halo players dropped to eight.

At this point, Edward can finally judge that the aura is a thing that is examined by the comprehensive strength of these organisms, such as the time of the match, the means of attack, and the balance of the body, and the correct use of their "right" for any participant, including the aura holder itself, is to avoid fighting against the aura holder as much as possible until the final round.

I can't get the aura anymore, so I can only avoid the battle as much as possible...... Another use of the right to challenge is to "control the direction of your own territorial expansion".

How do I avoid fighting the Halo Holder? It is true that the right to refuse is a good way, however, it is better to "not border the halo holder".

By controlling the direction of your battle grid expansion through the challenge right, you can keep yourself as far away from the "match and challenge" range of the aura holder as possible, and if you can control it to the best, you can even make the aura holder not qualified to fight you until the final round......

This is no longer just a superficial fight. Edward has already discovered this, in this audition, martial arts is only one aspect, and these wits under the rules are the best way for players with insufficient real strength to advance!

Looking around him, under the wary gazes of the other fighters, Edward couldn't help but wonder how many of these apparently muscular-brainless fighters had realized the true intent of these rules. You must make the most of this advantage as soon as possible!

After two inadvertent matches, the distance between himself and the pink mech with the aura that was nearby at the beginning did not close, so he should expand his combat grid in the direction of not having an aura holder...... So, when the voice of the AI system sounded for the third time.

"Participants are requested to have the right to challenge and the right to refuse. You have 1 minute to judge, and then you start matching freely. ”

"I'm going to exercise my right to challenge." Edward spoke, "To...... Right. ”

The direction is perfect, and over there is a reddish mech, which on the surface is a melee type, and even the Aungis battle faction may not be able to say it, so that the one with the anti-gravity construct will have a great advantage. At the same time, the crimson body also reminded Edward of someone, and it also made him think of "I want to defeat him".

……

……

"Challenge me? Do you think I'm a bully...... You will regret your choice. In the same cabin, the woman said, "Bruce. ”

The mechanical wall slowly rises, and the particle barrier opens.

"Bruce vs. Incinerator...... 3,2,1,Match ...... Begin! ”

Bruce drew his sword, and the second sword stream opened, and at the same time, the missile had already erupted, and it went straight to the opponent with the mech!

On the other side, the Incinerator also pulled out a long sword from his waist, not Bruce's mechanical sword that can be transformed, but ...... Forged from real metal, a sword.

The burner raised his sword, and flames erupted, instantly attaching to the sword.
