The sun falls on the quiet courtyard of the source house, covered by greenery, the water is murmuring, and there are stone lanterns on both sides of the stone paved garden road.

The two elders in floating cherry blossom costumes stood in front of the eldest lady's mansion, their faces hesitant.

"Using the power of the ghost king, but stopping at the top sixteen, I'm afraid that the eldest lady's heart will be frustrated, and in a short period of time, she will not be able to exert the full power of the fire." The middle-aged man said carefully.

"It's okay, I'm sure the eldest lady can adjust." The old man sighed, "It's just that I never thought that the 'heavy sword without a blade' has a deep heritage, and it is far from an opponent that the eldest lady can defeat." ”

"He didn't even use his combat skills, he just opened the armament and unblocked, and then ......" the middle-aged man hesitated, "and attacked normally."

The old man's face was complicated, and he said: "Therefore, it is not a fluke that he won the championship of the audition, and besides, this Starry Sky Cup is really Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon...... Okay, let's stay here, and when the eldest lady cleans up her mood, she will inherit the position of head of the family in the future, and this setback needs to be overcome by herself. ”

The middle-aged man sighed and nodded, his eyes showing expectation, looking up at the wood-carved window coffin on the second floor of the living room.

In the living room, there are screens, low tables, bookcases, dressers, exquisite volumes, simple shapes, painted with smooth and elegant floating cherry paint, and the decorative patterns of the customized version of the virtual cabin are mainly peonies and flying cranes.

The window was bright and clean, and the white-haired girl sat by the window reading a book, her eyes were in a trance, and then she sighed.

I can't see it...... His mind was full of the great sword of the heavy sword man's liberated form.

Why is it so big!

Straight into the sky, a sword can cut through the clouds and split the cliffs.

Gen Yi can be regarded as able to understand the meaning of the ancients' as 'a pillar of optimus'.

And even though I was wearing the Star Armor, drinking the poisonous wine of the gods, and having the help of the Ghost King, I still died under a sword... The white-haired girl shook her head slightly.

The heavy sword has no edge, too strong!

Gen Yiori lowered his head and examined the card between his fingers, the famous sword "Tong Zi Cut", the card surface seemed to be flowing with sharp cold light.

Even if I hold the epic instrument used by the hero Yuan Laiguang in the Floating Sakura Mythology, and I am at the peak level of the fifth order, I can't stop the pitch-black sword......

"I'm afraid he already has a sixth-order grandmaster level."

Yuan Yiori was slightly distracted and muttered: "And that trump card may be ...... Golden Legends! ”

The card master selects the card, and the card selects the card master.

The card master who can be recognized by the 'Golden Legend' card is one in ten thousand, and all of them have the posture of a national soldier.

The gold card "Magic Explosion" awarded by the third place in this year's Starry Sky Cup is a big deal that the Spark Group has not had in a few years, which has caused shocks from all walks of life, but because it cannot be upgraded, it is still far from the real legendary cards in mythology.

In the entire Floating Cherry Blossom Country, there are only three legendary cards: the Heavenly Cloud Sword, the Eight-Foot Qiong Hook Jade, and the Eight Mirrors, which have not appeared for more than a hundred years.

Except for the Federation 'Warrior of Damocles', Roman Ulysses, who holds the "Sword of Damocles".

In this year's Starry Sky Cup, you can even meet a card master who is suspected of holding a legendary gold card.

The country girl who hasn't left the floating cherry blossom for half a step-

The white-haired girl Yuan Yi tapped her head and was amazed.

Brother...... Source World, so powerful!

……

…

The news that the epee man smashed the floating cherry samurai with one sword immediately appeared on the forum hot search after the game.

"That's the samurai of the Gen family, and he was actually slashed with a sword?!" Floating cherry netizens were in disbelief.

"If the name of the source family is insulted, the source family should send someone to apologize!" Ukizakura keyboard warrior is pressing.

"It is recommended to apply for a source world account upstairs and sign up for the Starry Sky Cup and the epee heads-up!" Immediately someone on the line.

"Floating cherry guy on the second floor, report the ID, we'll see you in the arena!"

The forums of competitive competitions are always full of gunpowder, and the atmosphere under the professional posts is relatively rigorous.

The expert analyzed the strength of the two sides of the duel: "On the whole, [Yuan Shougang] has a fifth-order peak level, and [Heavy Sword Wufeng] is probably a sixth-order grandmaster!" ”

Sixth-order grandmasters, even in the source world where players from all over the world gather, are quite rare.

The reply at the bottom of the post: "Grandmaster is strong, terrifying!" ”

"Truly, this son must not be kept, it is recommended to pull out his network cable!"

"He should have only recently broken through, after all, he just broke the Roman record when he was in the fifth order."

"Breaking through in the middle of the race? Is this also in the calculations of the epeemen! ”

"There is no edge in the heavy sword, this year's Star Cup, won't you really want to achieve the 'double crown' achievement, right?"

The so-called double crown refers to winning two championship trophies in the audition and knockout rounds at the same time, which is extremely difficult.

After all, the audition is very variable, and the master players can defeat the strong with the weak, and the knockout round is a complete strength speak.

There have been many editions of the Star Cup, and there has been no double champion, and the last player to achieve this achievement is name: Roman Ulysses.

An almost perfect, all-round acting scholar, a master of games, and a handsome silver-haired guy who is unparalleled in the country.

Roman Ulysses has never had a female companion when he appears in public, except for cards, which once made people doubt his orientation.

But to be able to become a seventh-order card master, there are always some strange fire concepts.

The media did not dare to explore Roman's private life, because a paparazzi who was not afraid of death planned to secretly photograph the mansion of the 'Warrior of the Kingdom', and just set up the equipment, a spatial fluctuation was directly cut off above his head, and the paparazzi was seriously injured, but fortunately, he was rescued, thanks to Roman's mercy.

The horror of the sword of Damocles lies in the fact that it is the 'power of time and space' that may fall whenever and wherever it is.

Of course, Roman is already a national warrior, and he is more interested in the contestants, such as epee Wufeng, than participating in this year's Star Cup......

After breaking his own record, the epee is likely to follow in his footsteps and win the honorary achievement of the 'double champion' of the Star Cup!

"Epee without Blade......"

In front of the floor-to-ceiling windows on the top floor of the Federation Building, the silver-haired man looked at the sleepless night of the federal capital 'Xington City', and whispered to himself:

"Is it suspected that the Great Sword of the Golden Legend is ...... That's it, it doesn't matter. ”

Roman turned around calmly, he still had a lot of business to deal with, the Starry Sky Cup and the Heavy Epee Man were just a trivial matter, so they didn't have to worry too much about it.

And even if a seventh-order card master with a legendary card challenged him, Roman had the absolute confidence to defeat him.

This is Roman's credo.

'Elegance' as harmonious as Bach's equal law, 'perfection' as precise as the golden section, and 'mighty' as sweeping the world like a great flood.

Xingtu City, 255th Street in Downtown.

The early morning sun shines through a row of cheap rental houses.

Lin Xiao yawned and walked down the stairs to greet Mrs. Smith, who was busy at the stove.

"Good morning." The old lady immediately asked, "What about Daifuku?" ”

"It's playing upstairs, and I can't pause it, so I'll come down for breakfast first." Lin Xiao said.

"Oh...... Then wait until the Daifuku game is finished before eating. The old lady said blandly.

Lin Xiao: "......"

For breakfast, Lin Xiao returned to the second floor and shouted:

"Daifuku, you're playing electric again, can you take a break?"

"Oh! ヾ(??? "Daifuku is prostrate on the bed, his little hand is paddling on the tablet, and he cuts three fruits in a row.

It's going to be cleared soon, and you see, there are invincible props jumping out again!

Lin Xiao touched her chin.

With Daifuku's luck, playing a gacha mobile game should be 'Leopard Kill'.

Everybody hates seals, everybody aspires to be one!

Lin Xiao: "Let's talk about it first, I'll go to breakfast after this level - you secretly opened another level?!" ”

Daifuku: "Ou woo~(′▽'〃)"

Lin Xiao: "Don't be cute!" ”

Grab the chubby little seal downstairs and enjoy breakfast: salmon from Jolene, caviar sandwich, yogurt salad, chilled orange juice.

When the weather is sweltering, these breakfasts help to refresh the mind, and the baby seals eat like a bowling ball.

"Ou woo~" Daifuku patted his belly and called lazily.

Thank you for your hospitality~

Subsequently, Lin Xiao returned to the rental house on the second floor to inquire about the information related to the Starry Sky Cup.

The results of the round of 16 have been released.

Gu Mu

Jolena showed tenacity in the duel, and continued to recover her source power with 'Combat Skill Moonlight', killing fourth-order opponents and reaching the quarterfinals, attracting a lot of attention.

Many people found that this heroic red-clothed sword girl was the id 'Qingkui' who cleared the 'Hidden Dragon Snow Mountain' with the heavy sword man and set a world record.

For a while, the player's impression of her changed greatly, and she jumped from the leg pendant that was taken away by the big guy to a high-end player in the source world.

However, the quarterfinals are already the limit for Jolena, and it is very likely that she will be matched with a master or even a grandmaster player.

The blind leap challenge is not heroic, but reckless......

Jolene was already seriously considering abandoning the race.

In the Victorian-style bedroom, Jolene stands in front of "Starry Night", looking at the oil painting, her eyes are fascinated.

A message came from the wrist light curtain, click to browse, and it was a congratulatory message from the epee people.

Epee man: "Congratulations to the boss, breaking into the quarterfinals, the boss worked hard." ”

The girl with a high ponytail had clear red eyes and gently pursed the corners of her mouth.

This one is indeed ...... It's tough to win.

Because I just beat the Scarecrow before, I wasn't in good shape, but I ...... Still won.

I'm still far from the epee man, but I'm trying to catch up with him.

This joy after victory could not be shared with his father, but could only be poured out to Vivien.

But at least for now, I have a friend I can trust.

Hopefully, he can ...... too Treat me like a friend.

Jolena hesitated a little, but she was a little uneasy in her heart, and tried to reply in her usual tone:

"You don't have to brag about it, it's you, there is no shortage of sixth-order grandmasters in the quarterfinals, you should be sure of the next game, right?"

Lin Xiao was slightly stunned and said, "There is something wrong with you today." ”

Jolene: "(Owl's doubts)"

Epee said: "Suddenly caring about me made me a little uncomfortable. ”

What's going on with the number one lately? The emojis posted are also cute......

Lin Xiao inexplicably associated.

I still prefer your unruly appearance jpg.

Jolena looked at the news in the light curtain, a little overwhelmed, turned her head to look at the napping owl, and found that the snowy owl was napping with her eyes closed.

Asking for help failed, Jolena hesitated for a while, and replied: "It's not that I care, it's just a part of the intelligence." ”

After sending the message, Jolena breathed a sigh of relief and replied with an impeccable full score!

Heavy Sword said: "You say yes, that's it." ”

Jolena's snow-white cheeks flushed with a hint of embarrassment, typed quickly, deleted half of it, and immediately issued: "Less self-inflicted and amorous!" ”

Lin Xiao realized that it might indeed be that he was thinking too much, and he didn't care, and said: "If you feel that you can't support it, you can consider abstaining from the quarterfinals, so that your pressure will be reduced." ”

Jolena felt a hint of warmth, and returned to her usual cold and serious demeanor, but the corners of her mouth rose slightly, and replied, "Understood." ”

Lin Xiao said: "In this way, I have a chance to have a bye again." ”

Jolene: "??? ”

……

…

The quarterfinals are scheduled to kick off the day after tomorrow.

Jolena didn't match up with the epee after all, but faced another master, and the chances of winning were slim, but she didn't give up the match, intending to sharpen herself.

The world's attention to the heavy sword has no edge, and the duel arrangement is also hot.

"The list of the top eight is out, let's see which unlucky guy matches the epee man!"

With the mentality of watching fun, players clicked on the duel arrangement announced on the official website, and suddenly became even happier.

"I'm super, ghost bride vs heavy sword man!"

"I can hear the ghost bride scolding the street again, and the more I scold, the happier I am."

"Sick upstairs? Take me one. ”

"To be reasonable, the ghost bride is a sixth-order grandmaster, and she is still stronger than Yuan Shougang."

"I understand the reason, but the big sword of the heavy sword man is unreasonable!"

In the quarterfinals of the Starry Sky Cup, the epee collided with another streamer player, the Ghost Bride, both of whom were sixth-order grandmasters, and the Ghost Bride became famous earlier.

In the chat group, the red panda was surprised: "These two people really collided!" ”

Snow Drink Knife's eyes lit up: "Has anyone come to bet?" I press the sword without a blade to win! ”

"The group management 'Ghost Bride' has banned 'Snow Drinking Knife' for 24 hours."

In S City in Middle-earth, inside the residence, the ghost bride stammered:

"Damn, I bumped into ...... with the epee"

This is a young and beautiful silver-haired woman with rare witch blood.

Behind the silver-haired witch, a phantom quietly floated out.

The fallen angel in a blue wedding dress, with its pitch-black wings outstretched, hovered beside her.

"You don't seem to have faith?" The voice of the fallen angel echoes ethereally.

"Although they are both of the sixth order, the combat power of the heavy saber man stepping on the horse is explosive." The beauty witch had a headache and said, "I may have to send it." ”

"Have some faith in yourself, my Witch Highness." The fallen angel smiled and said, "You just need to shut up and I'll take care of the rest."

Silver-Haired Witch: "......"

Mom, even my spirit card is talking to me like that!

[Cecia, Spirit Card, Epic Quality, Sixth Order.] 】

[Talent: Charm: Cecia is the 'charming' angel among the fallen angels, and her every word and deed, every move has a chance to charm the enemy. When the skill hits, it will 100% put the enemy into a 'charm' state. 】

Some of the fallen angels are violent and become monsters, while others remain neutral and willing to cooperate with humans.

"Cecia", a seductive angel, accidentally discovered this silver-haired witch while wandering in the human world.

Because the two are very bloody, they took the initiative to sign a contract with them and became her trump card.

It's just that after many years of companionship, Cecia still hasn't been able to get rid of her master's habit of foul language...... This may also be the characteristic of the silver-haired witch.

It is worth mentioning that the fallen angels are led by the arrogant demon god 'Lucifer', but each fallen angel has a different philosophy.

Although Cecia respected Lord Lucifer, she was not interested in His resurrection ritual...... Isn't it good to stay in the world to eat and drink spicy food, and you have to go against the investigation team?

That guy has been asleep for thousands of years.

The corners of Cecia's mouth twitched.

Could it be that you can suddenly appear in front of me?

Federation, Star Atlas City.

Lin Xiao searched on the Internet, and the ghost bride's trump card is an epic quality spirit card, and she is good at moves like 'charm'.

"Pride Shard" directly grants abilities to the card master, not to the card.

Therefore, Lin Xiao can also use the passive ability of the "Arrogance Fragment" in the fire in the ace duel with the ghost bride, which is not considered a violation.

However, the Arrogance Fragment can only resist fourth-order spiritual attacks, and the ghost bride's 'charm' has a sixth-order level, so it can't be dealt with yet.

"The sixth-order ghost bride is the most powerful opponent I have matched so far,......" Lin Xiao frowned slightly.

Unfortunately, the power of the Arrogant Shard is not comprehensive enough to be directly immune to Enchantment.

The game will start the day after tomorrow, and presumably, it will be too late to collect shards......

Drip, drip, drip.

Lin Xiao lit up the light curtain.

The man with the raven's head said in a deep voice, "Tomorrow's mission-"

"It has been found, the arrogant demon god 'Lucifer', the whereabouts of the demon god altar!"

Lin Xiao: "Huh?? ”
