Chapter 193: The Opening Battle
"It was so relaxing to not play on the first day. ”
Xiao Lin sat in the players' stands, fiddling with the schedule in his hands, looking up at the competition venue below from time to time, starting from the knockout round, the venue is no longer divided into various areas for competition, but let the players compete on the complete field, so that the competition area does not know how much it has expanded at once, so that the players at least don't have to worry too much about going out of bounds, and can let go of their hands and feet to show their strength.
"Who is fighting in the opening game?" Xiao Lin asked Linglong who was sitting next to him, the two of them were in a half area, and there was no game today.
"See for yourself. Linglong said angrily, "It's clearly written on the schedule, so lazy?"
Xiao Lin laughed dryly, he saw that Linglong, the iceberg girl, had been silent, and wanted to find a topic to talk to her, but this girl didn't take this stubble at all, and choked back with a word, which made him a little embarrassed.
"Qin Miao vs. Zhu Chen, where does this Zhu Chen come from?" Xiao Lin looked at the schedule in his hand and asked in surprise, after all, he didn't pay much attention to the movements of other players, so he didn't know much about the information of other opponents, and he knew that those players who were particularly famous, and the rest were really confused.
"Well, look at this. Linglong didn't know where to pull out a booklet with the words "Player Information" written on the cover.
"What is this?" Xiao Lin curiously took the booklet in Linglong's hand and flipped through it casually.
"It's not an official production, it's made by individuals, and it contains information about each of the players who made it to the knockout round. Linglong explained lightly, "Although some of the information is wrong or inaccurate, it can give people a general understanding." ”
"I'll see. Xiao Lin opened the booklet with great interest and read it carefully, the players in front of him were ranked in the order of the elite list, and Xiao Lin soon saw the information about himself.
Xiao Lin, male, from the Tianxiang Empire, has a record of eight wins and one draw in the group stage, outstanding swordsmanship, balanced ability in all aspects, but also lacks special advantages, the ability is an ordinary-level fire element, and the combat power is evaluated at about level eight, it should have just entered this level not long ago, and it is difficult to have an advantage in the face of strong enemies, and the record is predicted to be the top thirty-two.
"Thirty-two?" Xiao Lin's face was a little strange, and he didn't know how to laugh a little, "This booklet gives me a lot of face, at least it made me pass the first round, and it wasn't too ugly." ”
"That's it. Linglong said lightly.
"Do you think I'm only in the top thirty-two?" Xiao Lin was stunned, "I have no confidence in me?"
Linglong learned Xiao Lin to shrug her shoulders, but she didn't speak, everything was silent.
Xiao Lin smiled bitterly, then turned back, and soon his eyes widened, and then he stretched out his finger and pointed at Linglong tremblingly, and his mouth was open for a long time and he couldn't speak.
"What's wrong?" Linglong said calmly, with a smile of patience on the corner of her mouth.
"Why? I'm not convinced, why can you have the top 16?" Xiao Lin took a long time to calm down, looking at the introduction of Linglong in the booklet, which predicted that Linglong could reach the top 16.
"It's a little low.
Linglong said calmly, and frowned, as if she was very dissatisfied with this prediction, and it was clear that she wanted to anger Xiao Lin.
"This booklet must have been made up by a layman, and it is not allowed to be allowed. Xiao Lin's mentality collapsed, and he muttered vigorously, scolding the person who came out of this booklet, his eyes were almost on fire, as if he had a deep hatred in the sea of blood.
Just as Xiao Lin was staring at the booklet as if he was fascinated, the surrounding audience suddenly erupted in huge cheers, and a heroic woman in silver armor slowly walked onto the competition stage, followed by a man in formal clothes next to her, holding a microphone in his hand, presumably the host of the competition.
"Is it her?" Xiao Lin tilted his head to look at the woman, he had seen this woman in the Throne Palace before, according to Su He, this was not only the only female general in the Tianxiang Empire, but also the youngest general.
"What is she doing here?" Xiao Lin muttered in a low voice, but he didn't notice that Linglong, who was sitting next to him, stared at the woman deadly, with a flame of hatred burning in her eyes, but a faint fear flashed in the depths of her eyes, and she was a little afraid of the woman.
"The audience has been waiting for a long time, our knockout round is about to begin, this time the on-site referee we invited General Ziyue from the military department, let us welcome her arrival. The moderator spoke.
When the words fell, the scene suddenly erupted in huge cheers, it seems that this Purple Moon General has quite a high popularity, and it is not surprising that her beautiful appearance coupled with her superb strength makes her have so many followers.
"It's like a star. Xiao Lin muttered, "Let's hurry up and start the game." ”
"Without further ado, let's hurry up and enjoy the good game. The host continued, "Let's invite players from both sides to play, starting with Qin Miao from the Eternal Empire. ”
I saw a figure walk out of the passage of the arena, walking slowly towards the competition platform, he had been fighting in civilian clothes, and he didn't dare to be careless when he arrived at the knockout round, this time he directly put on the combat uniform, and his body exuded a faint momentum condensed, and it seemed that he had adjusted his mental spirit to the best state.
There was an area of the stands where the audience was cheering for Qin Miao vigorously, looking at that posture should be someone from the Eternal Empire, who had come to the Tianxiang Empire to watch his country's game.
Qin Miao slowly stood still in the middle of the field, nodded at the host and the Purple Moon General, and closed his eyes and waited for his opponent to play.
"This kid is very calm. Zi Yue, who was dressed in silver armor, glanced at Qin Miao and said softly in her heart, with a smile on her face.
"Next, let's welcome Zhu Chen from Tianshui Country to the field!" the host then introduced another player who competed.
Soon, Zhu Chen, who was dressed in a red combat uniform, walked out of the passage and came to the competition platform, facing Qin Miao from afar, compared to Qin Miao's calmness, he looked a little nervous, looking at Qin Miao with some fear, as if he knew that his opponent was very powerful.
"Zhu Chen, a native of Tianshui, has a record of eight wins and one loss in the group stage, a person with rock element ability, ordinary level,
Outstanding strength, amazing stamina, but slow body and not strong mobility, when encountering speed-type opponents, it will be more disadvantaged, and the record is predicted in the first round. ”
Xiao Lin looked at the introduction of Zhu Chen: "In the first round, too, it is really not good to meet the seeded players in the first round to win." "I have some sympathy for Zhu Chen in my heart, and it took so much effort to break into the knockout round, but it was really bad luck to meet a strong opponent in the first round.
"Do you know how this matchup is arranged?" Xiao Lin asked as he looked at Linglong.
"I don't know. Linglong was also a little confused, "I originally thought that it would be grouped according to the results of the group stage, but from the perspective of the schedule, it should be completely random." ”
"Not really. Xiao Lin shook his head, "If it is distributed immediately, the first round actually avoids the duel of all the strong players, and according to the schedule, it is possible to meet in the third round, which is arranged." ”
"And what do you think of this opening match?" asked Linglong.
"I don't know. Xiao Lin said, "I think this should be specially arranged, so that Qin Miao can win, and at the same time make the game look exciting." ”
"Are you saying that Zhu Chen can resist for a while?" asked Linglong in surprise.
"Probably so. Xiao Lin is not uncertain, "In any case, he is also a player who has entered the knockout round, even if there is a gap, Qin Miao will probably have to spend some effort if he wants to win." ”
"Prepare the two players. The host spoke, and then quickly exited the stage and stood on the high platform outside the venue.
"It's time to go. Ziyue said softly, and she stood near the two players, signaling that they could start the match.
"Referee, are you here?" Qin Miao asked with some surprise, "Will it affect you?"
"You can't hurt me even if you try your best, just play with peace of mind. Ziyue said lightly, not taking these two little guys in her eyes at all.
Qin Miao smiled self-deprecatingly, it was also how could he be able to threaten a general, and then he calmed down and looked at his opponent, this was his first game in the knockout round, he must win it cleanly, and he couldn't embarrass the Eternal Empire.
He knew very well that there was an Empire's top brass watching him in the stands somewhere, and this was to assess him to see how much potential he really had, and whether it was worth the Empire's more resources to cultivate.
He is here for the championship in this competition, and he can't accept any defeat, whether it is an imperial genius such as Shilang or a dark horse like Li Tong, if he dares to stand in front of him, he will not hesitate to destroy them, and victory can only belong to him.
Qin Miao hasn't taken action yet, Zhu Chen moved first, he knows very well that Qin Miao is powerful, if he lets the other party strike first, he may only be beaten passively and has no chance to fight back, at this time he must seize the opportunity.
A layer of rock skin appeared on Zhu Chen's body, like a stone man, his fists were covered with huge rocks, full of a sense of power, and his figure instantly swept out and swept towards Qin Miao.
"It's really slow enough. Xiao Lin, who was sitting in the stands, muttered in his heart, "Speed is really his weakness." ”
Although Zhu Chen's momentum was amazing, speed was really not his strong point, which gave Qin Miao plenty of time to prepare.
"What a clumsy guy. Qin Miao sneered in his heart, a white light suddenly flashed in his eyes, and strange fluctuations spread out from his body, rippling in the air, and Ziyue stood in place as if nothing happened, as if she didn't feel anything.
"The general is worthy of being a general, and my tricks have no effect at all. Qin Miao quickly glanced at Ziyue who was standing aside, and sighed in her heart, "The gap is too big. ”
Although Ziyue was fine, Zhu Chen was not the same thing, I saw that his figure suddenly stopped, and he stood motionless as if he was stunned, and the rocks on his body began to fall down layer by layer, falling to the ground and shattering.
"Is this the winner or loser?" Xiao Lin looked at the movement in the field in disbelief, and was a little more jealous of Qin Miao in his heart, this kind of move was really incredible, "Is the spiritual system so powerful?"
"Brute force is not enough. Qin Miao chuckled, walked slowly towards Zhu Chen, and slowly raised his palm to slap towards Zhu Chen.
The opening match of the knockout tournament is almost over.
