Chapter Sixty-Nine: Ike vs. Kenji
Chapter 69: Ike vs. Kenji
The best-of-three singles semi-finals begin before the best-of-five semi-finals. And the first game of the semifinals was a civil war between the goddess mercenary groups.
Werewolf Ike vs Kenji Saito
..................................................................................................................................................................................................................
"I didn't expect you to make it to the semifinals so easily!" Shangguan Ziyang said with a smile to Patrick, a minotaur who was more than 3 meters tall and looked like a real "Roshan" with strong muscles.
"Of course, I'm the best in our Ox tribe, and I've successfully passed the 'Beast God Test' twice, all of which are deserved!" Patrick said confidently, shaking his bull head.
"But judging from the schedule of tomorrow's singles semifinals, the first game is a duel between Kenji and Ike. Gu Xin looked at the schedule in his hand and said with a frown.
"It's such a coincidence, it can't be shady, right?" Dongfang Caihua, who was standing on the side, continued to pretend to be light-hearted and said.
"No, that's the normal way the schedule is. Either way, Kenji and Ike will face off once in all. Gu Xin, who looked at the schedule, said very calmly.
"Hehe, I didn't expect it, the first one was a duel between us...... I'm looking forward to it! When the time comes, please show your best strength. Ike looked at Kenji's eyes with fiery intent.
"As you wish. Kenji forced God to lean on the pillar on the side, without raising his eyelids, and said provocatively in his tone, "It's just that I'm afraid you won't be able to afford to lose when the time comes!"
"I'm afraid you don't have that strength!" Werewolf Ike said contemptuously with his two wolf paws on his shoulders. ”
"Hey, my lord, do these two have a grudge?" Nangong Yiyi bent down and asked in Shangguan Ziyang's ear.
"No, that's just the normal way these two guys communicate, so don't worry. Shangguan Ziyang said casually.
"......" It seems that these newcomers are very speechless about this "normal communication".
"But it was said before, Captain, that you seem to have provoked the crown princess of the Great Qin Empire?" Ya Mili asked Shangguan Ziyang.
"Yes," said Shangguan Ziyan, Shangguan Ziyang looked very helpless: "Who told me to go out that day and didn't look at the yellow calendar, but I met it 3 times in one day when I was completely unwilling~!"
"That's right, Captain. The expression on Gu Xin's face was rare serious, "If you can, try not to get involved with her, because she's a ...... Well, how do you say that...... It's a 'crazy woman'. Speaking of this, Gu Xin's face suddenly became extremely obscene like turning a book, "But she is also really beautiful!!" Then the expression on her face became very serious again, which caught the surrounding members off guard for a while, "But she likes that condescending feeling very much, she is a very dangerous character, you have to be careful." ”
"It seems that this is indeed the case...... Shangguan Ziyang thought back to the various things he had met Shangguan Ziyan, which was indeed perfectly in line with Gu Xin's statement.
"This is my advice to you as a classmate of her at the Oriental Academy. Gu Xin said very seriously, and then turned around and accidentally said what was in his heart: "Although it is a very beautiful royal sister type, what I like is the little Lori like the head of the group and Alice......"
Before he finished speaking, Gu Xin felt a strong force coming from his waist, and he was kicked from behind by Shangguan Ziyang in front of everyone, "Lewd! perverted! disgusting!!, you dead Loli control !!" With Shangguan Ziyang's every word shouted, it was kicked down, and Gu Xin on the ground even let out a very "enjoyable" "scream", and his trembling M appearance was exposed.
"This, this, this, this ......" The four newcomers were stunned when they looked at this scene, and even the old black face of the Northern Tang Dynasty monk Jian actually had a stunned expression;
"Don't worry, it's just a 'normal exchange' between the head of the group and the deputy head of the group......" Ellath said calmly to the four newcomers.
"Dismissal!" Shangguan Ziyang, who felt that he was kicking Gu Xin, not only could not teach him a lesson, but might make him more refreshed, gave up the urge to continue kicking down, and directly shouted to disperse.
So the people in the room were all gone one after another, and in the end, only these 4 stunned newcomers remained.
Looking at Gu Xin, the deputy head of the regiment who slowly got up from the ground, Ximen Chun was a beautiful woman and pointed at Gu Xin, who was covered in dust footprints:
"Too ...... Commander, you are ......"
"Oh, please don't care, but this kind of thing is absolutely, absolutely not spread out of the mercenary group, you know?" Gu Xin said with a serious face, and then followed by a pleading expression, "I don't want others to know that the deputy leader of the goddess mercenary group is actually a lolicon!"
"Yes, Deputy Commander, my subordinates know. The four newcomers bowed slightly and hugged their fists forward.
"Well, since the meeting is over, you can go back and rest. Gu Xin waved his hand to a few people.
"Yes. After the four of them bowed down and clenched their fists again, they walked out of the room one after another.
........................................................................................................................................................................
"The best-of-three singles semi-finals open today. First of all, the first game is the Goddess Mercenary Group, Ike, against the Goddess Mercenary Group, Kenji Saito!"
As soon as the host's words came out, the audience immediately talked about it.
"Is this the person from the goddess mercenary group that was in the limelight before?"
"Isn't it, I didn't expect these two contestants to reach the semifinals!!"
"But I didn't expect the first game to be a civil war with this mercenary group!
"But they were really lucky, they were in different arenas, and they were able to stand out and reach the semi-finals, and they didn't show up with a strong opponent like them in the middle, which is really amazing their luck. ”
"Luck is part of strength. Because according to the rules of this meeting, there is also an element of lottery in it. No, in the first round of semi-finals, the Eastern Academy of the Great Qin Empire actually drew a bye. ”
"That's right, but the way they entered the competition was really refreshing! I don't know if it's the same today!"
“......”
“......”
As the audience discussed in an instant, Kenji Saito and Ike chose the most simple way to walk from the ladder to the stage this time.
"Such an exciting moment has finally arrived!I feel my blood boiling all over my body now!!" Ike's wolf eyes were a little red with excitement, "Please show your strongest strength and let us have a peak duel under the watchful eyes of all people!"
"Very good proposal!" Kenji's expression was very cold, probably because of the sequelae of pretending to be too much. It's just that he has a total of 6 knives about the same height as him hanging around his waist on the left and right sides, which always makes people feel very funny, "But there is a better proposal below, I don't know?"
"Tell me about it?" Ike didn't refuse.
"Because there may be stronger opponents in the future, we can't completely wear ourselves here. Kenji narrowed his eyes, "You and I are both speed specialists, so we compare our moves in speed." Whoever is half a beat slower will directly admit defeat, how?"
"Hmph, no matter what, this wolf will accompany you to the end!!" Ike made a provocative thumbs-up gesture towards Kenji.
"Okay, then we'll see the winner in half a move! I'll use all my strength, you have to be careful!" Kenji spread his legs, his waist was short, and his right hand pulled out the purple sword, the Dream Spirit, from his left waist. The Dream Spirit blade exuded a dreamlike purple halo, and the momentum of Kenji's body skyrocketed, making Ike also start to be cautious.
So Ike leaned to the side, and his eyes were suddenly filled with red light. This is a sign of madness.
"Competition, start!" With the host's order, one person and one wolf on the stage disappeared directly with a "brush"!!
However, although the figure disappeared, everyone in the arena felt that the surrounding air flow began to unstable, and it seemed as if they were ...... Windy?
On the stage, about 3 seconds after the two figures disappeared, there was a sudden sound of metal colliding in mid-air!
It turned out that it was not that the two of them "disappeared", but that the speed was too fast beyond the dynamic vision limit of the audience, so it looked like they had "disappeared".
However, the sound of metal colliding in mid-air continued, but it only lasted for a few seconds, and then with the sound of a "poof" sharp weapon entering the flesh, two figures suddenly appeared on the stage.
As soon as the two figures appeared, they "smashed" on the stage like meteorites, and immediately fell to the ground with dust and gravel.
"What's the situation?"
"Who the hell won?"
"What nonsense are you talking about, how can you decide the winner so quickly?"
"That's it, it's only been a few seconds......"
The dust cleared, and the first thing that appeared in everyone's eyes was that the clothes on the chest were completely scrapped under the three hideous scratches, and three bloody scars were added to the chest again.
The other figure that cleared the dust was Ike who seemed to have nothing to do, as if he was still the same as when he entered, and there was an exclamation from the crowd (what the hell happened in just a few seconds???).
"You won, I didn't expect you to be so fast. Kenji shook the Dream Spirit in his hand as if it had blood on it. Then a set of flowing pretending actions of putting the knife into the sheath are perfect.
"Cut!" Ike just snorted, but didn't say anything more.
So the host immediately announced that the goddess mercenary group, Ike won.
No one seemed to notice that blood was pouring out of Ike's clenched right fist and dripping onto the floor.
So the game that the audience was looking forward to was decided in just a few seconds, which made the audience stunned and dumbfounded.
But the host didn't give the audience much time to react, and announced the next match: Marcus, the Bloody Blade Mercenary Group, vs. Vladimir, the Barbarian Troop of the Xuanyue Dynasty.
Goddess Mercenary Group Rest Area.
Gu Xin, who was originally looking good at the show, immediately straightened his posture when he saw the next contestant on stage, and his body was suddenly covered by a loose cloak. It seems that the two contestants who appear on the stage now have aroused the strong interest of Deputy Head Gu Xin.
"You're really strong...... I suppose we can only be considered a draw based on a real duel, right?, but why did you just throw in the towel?" Ike looked at his right claw, which had been treated and bandaged by Amiri, and the wound on it was almost bone-deep. But under Amiri's spell treatment, the wound has been forcibly healed, bandaged with gauze, and some fountains of life, it is estimated that it will be fine tomorrow.
(Hey, magic is magical.) Shangguan Ziyang thought silently after watching Ya Miri's operation.
Kenji hesitated for a while and accepted Amiri's care. The blouse was ripped off by Blue in front of everyone, revealing the hideous wound on his chest and the strange mark on his back. However, the wound on his chest was so conspicuous that the rest of his wounds were covered up.
"Because every time you gamble, you will lose. Kenji said very calmly.
"You ......" Ike choked for a moment, not knowing how to answer.
However, according to Amiri's observations, although Kenji's injury looked hideous, it was only a skin wound, which was far from Ike's deep bone wound. As a result, it only takes a simple healing spell to deal with it, and there is no need to use the fountain of life like Ike.
It seems that the focus of the two in the battle is different, Kenji is more focused on the damage point, and Ike is more focused on the damage side.
"But in any case, the participants who made it to the semi-finals were very strong players. If nothing else, in the next match, Ike your opponent is one of these two. The old voice in disguise under the wide cloak said to Ike.
"Hehe, the stronger the opponent, the more interesting it is!" Ike looked into the wolf's eyes on the stage, which was flashing with excitement.
"These contestants who can enter the semi-finals are not simple characters...... They must all have very powerful fighting moves. Gu Xin's old voice seemed to be very serious, "This is their information, you can take a look at it casually." Unexpectedly, these people stood out. ”
Shangguan Ziyang took a piece of parchment handed over by Gu Xin, which was the list of contestants who were selected for the semi-finals this time. It's just that these lists have been annotated by Gu Xin. The members of the surrounding mercenary group also came over to take a look.
"Connor Darkmoon of the Academy of Elemental Magic?" Alice's voice was surprised.
"What, do you know?" Shangguan Ziyang looked at Alice in surprise and asked suspiciously. Because Gu Xin only annotated the "All Disciplines of Science and Magic" on this Connor Dark Moon.
"'Dark Moon' is the surname of the Elven Imperial Family. So this Connor should be Her Royal Highness the Princess of the Dark Moon Empire, my lord. The Northern Tang Seng Jian, one of the four newcomers who has been acting as a background on the side, replied aloud.
"I see...... Shangguan Ziyang seemed to understand something, "Then what does this 'Physics and Magic All System Specialization' refer to?"
"There are too many branches of elemental magic, and ordinary humans or elves can only specialize in one department in their lives due to the limitations of their talent and energy, and also study other departments. And this elf princess is what His Excellency the Deputy Head of the Regiment called 'the whole system of science and magic', which can only show that her talent is too terrifying. After dealing with Kenji's injuries, Amiri explained to Shangguan Ziyang, "Speaking of which, Shangguan-sama, who also knows spells, shouldn't you not be unaware of such a basic problem, right?"
Shangguan Ziyang muttered in his heart, not dwelling on this topic, so he asked again:
"Holy Light Magic Martial Academy, Little Reinhardt, 'Quasi-Sword Saint'??What the hell ???"
"Little Reinhardt...... Could this be the son of Reinhardt, the Sword of Light?" said Kenji's voice a little unconvinced. It was the first time Shangguan Ziyang heard Kenji's tone, and couldn't help but look at him.
"I can't think of anyone other than him calling himself 'Little Reinhardt' for the time being. Gu Xin's disguised old voice sounded slowly, "'Quasi-Sword Saint', I have long heard that the genius swordsman of the Holy Light Demon Martial Arts Academy, little Reinhardt, who has the name of 'Quasi-Sword Saint' at a young age, is rumored to be much higher than his father's 'Sword Saint of Light' Reinhardt, it seems that it is estimated that after a while, he will be able to truly take over the title of 'Sword Saint' from his father." ”
", so strong??" Shangguan Ziyang didn't know what the ability of this so-called "Sword Saint" was for the time being, so he didn't pay too much attention to it for the time being.
"Carter Business School, Abdul Wahab, dark magic specialty?" Shangguan Ziyang saw another guy who seemed to be hanging, but then looked at the schedule, and his opponent turned out to be a student of the Royal High School of Stintmare, Hans Cretros.
"Saint Ding Horsepower Royal Senior Academy...... Shangguan Ziyang seemed to remember something, the original owner of his body, when he was in Saint Ding Horsepower City, it seemed that the school he was in was called "Saint Ding Horsepower Royal Junior Academy"? I don't know how it has been since I left the Gamma Empire for more than half a year, what is going on there.
Since he was chased and killed by the Gamma Empire, he covered himself and fled into the Warcraft Mountain Range at the cost of the annihilation of the entire family guard, and after escaping from death, he met the little white tiger, saw the fall of the "Divine Mansion", met the "Peng" Shenfeng, and the white dragon and the great mother called "Ah Ling", and then was parasitic on the arm by two little black dragons, and then met the beast clan, participated in the beast god conference, and several neurotic beasts wanted to follow him; After a few months of walking, he came to the border of the Darkmoon Empire. I met Gu Xin, a refined patient and simple-minded Alice. Later, on the way to Moon City, the spaceship crashed again, and by the way, I saw an unimaginable forbidden spell. Now he has participated in the "Olympic Games" on the mainland. Then four elders of the neurotic family mistook themselves for "gods", so they sent their own neurotic children who were also abnormally thinking to say that they would follow him in life and death.
But what happened to Terry who I saw in Moon City that time? What happened to Terry???, who was cowardly and timid at the beginning, to become the crown prince after not seeing him for a few months? What happened to Nasellia and Hydes? What happened to the Gamma Empire after he left the Gamma Empire??? what Terry looked like this, it was so strange! Something was wrong! Something was wrong!!
"Lord Shangguan, what's wrong with you??" Seeing Shangguan Ziyang staring at the table in a daze, Amiri asked out loud.
"No, nothing, just remembering some of the past. Shangguan Ziyang, who came back to his senses, didn't explain much about this, and continued to look at the schedule as a cover-up and said, "Then what does Zhao Xuanba, who has a bye from the Oriental Academy, 'Broken Gun', mean?"
"Oh, he, he is also from a military family, and his ancestors have also been honored as a marquis for their military exploits. But in the Great Qin Empire, the descendants of ordinary military families, those who are capable, are all enrolled in the War College for further study, and they will become the reserve of grassroots officers of the empire in the future. But this Zhao Xuanba was recommended by the War Academy to study in the Martial Arts Department of the Oriental Academy because of his talent. Don't underestimate him, since he has entered the Martial Arts Research Department of the Eastern Academy, then first of all, he must have extremely excellent martial arts, and he must also have similar equipment as me. Gu Xin's disguised voice said slowly.
"That's a strong opponent indeed!!" Ike's eyes seemed to be even more vigorous.
"A Qin army squad I once met in the Demon Beast Mountain Range, the leading captain's name seems to be 'Zhao Xuanhan'?
"Speaking of which, it seems to be true!" Amiri thought for a moment, "When he introduced himself, he seemed to say that his surname was Zhao and his name was Zhao Xuanhan. ”
"Oh, you said the human you met that time...... Looks really strong!" The huge Patrick seemed to regret, "I really want to fight him!
"That's it!" Blue agreed.
Ignoring these neurotic battle maniacs, Shangguan Ziyang said to himself: "It seems that maybe they are also people of the same family and the same generation......" Shangguan Ziyang said that he couldn't help but think of the girl who always despised herself with a condescending attitude.
"Then it seems that we do have some fate with this Zhao clan!" Gu Xin's disguised old voice under the wide cloak slowly sounded, "But the Zhao clan is not a small family in the Great Qin Empire, and the descendants are also heroic in the army." However, there are still few amazing geniuses like Zhao Xuanba. But if nothing else, this Zhao Xuanba is the future head of the Zhao family. It seems that genius is not easy...... As soon as I think of this, I feel that as a peerless genius, what will be my responsibilities in the future?"
Gu Xin still had a very serious tone in the front, but the more he got to the back, the more obscene he became, and at the end, he turned into naked narcissism! This made everyone present feel embarrassed in an instant.
