Chapter 39: The Winter Festival Competition
The tradition of the Winter Festival continues, and as Ti Lan and her companions walk down the streets, the surrounding shops and street lamps are decorated with frozen green branches and foliage or simulated ornaments, and the frozen green branches and leaves are also dotted with crimson berries, giving people a sense of harvest and vitality.
"Where did the bird in Tilan's arms come from?" From the moment she went out, Oles wanted to ask, and she finally couldn't help but speak.
"Oh, it's it." Tilan blinked, touching the little 'big' white kite in her arms.
"It's the light cotton bird I raised, and it's currently advanced to the stage of sequence 5." This white kite was in Tilan's arms, looking around with a little cute eyes, and occasionally wanted to break free and run out by itself.
"No, there are too many people here, and you can't fly casually." Tiran stroked its neck, soothing.
"It's all Sequence 5?" Blanche was surprised that she herself had only advanced to Sequence 5 for a short time, and the big bird had already made Sequence 5.
I saw the red silk flickering inside the sword body, and then the crimson light spread along the place where the blade was inserted, and in less than two seconds, the barrier shattered.
Olese looked sideways at the white kite on Tilan's shoulder, and when she looked closely, the bird's feathers were neat, her body was well-proportioned, and her eyes were smart, and there was a faint flow of magic in her blue pupils, and the magical aura emitted was also exceptionally pure and stable, and it could be seen that it was very well cultivated.
"Wow, Elven Dragon." When Blanche heard this, she was only envious.
"It's no wonder that the top few players who come out of this kind of competition must be good at 'doing the work', and those firms and large companies are naturally very welcome."
And this kind of battle is often a snowball, if you can't recover in a short time, your combat ability will decrease, you will be hit more, then you will be injured more, and finally lose.
Not long after, the second game also began.
"I didn't expect Tilan to like to raise birds." A few people were slightly curious and fresh.
"Me? I didn't fancy anyone, so why did you suddenly ask this. Olese was slightly displeased.
However, the illusion was extremely draining, and in the final match, Mochalantha was visibly exhausted, and the orc, with her keen sense of smell and intuition, broke the illusion and defeated her on the spot, winning the championship.
Winning is certainly winning, but there is already a certain danger.
Finally, the game has officially begun.
After that, the dagger shot out again, staggering each other and striking directly at Wilson, who tried to avoid it with some kind of illusionary misalignment secret technique, but was still stabbed under the rapid strangulation of the dagger.
"Will it lay eggs?" Blanche approached and wanted to pet the white kite, but she was afraid of being pecked because the white kite's mouth was quite pointed.
"Wilson's self-discipline unit takes time to unfold, not to mention that in terms of sudden explosiveness and speed, it is far inferior to Wen Yuting, and it is normal to lose." Oreth said her opinion.
The black-haired girl on the side retracted her gaze, leaned on the white kite's feathers and thought about how to deal with such an enemy if she faced it.
"It's no longer a child's game, this kind of competition is closer to the means of the transcendent in reality." After reading it, Ti Lan couldn't help but sigh.
"It doesn't have a name, but I call it and it will know." This is also the benefit of the singer's talent, which can accurately call each animal.
"A lot of extraordinary animals can still be cultivated." After walking for a while, she saw that the white kite was gradually getting acquainted, and she also let go of her hand and let it fly to her shoulder.
After inserting it into Wilson's body, the red line at the end of the short sword appeared with bright brilliance, and then Wilson's body trembled, and his body and skin were covered with red cracked red lines, and he slowly fell.
"Now the game begins." Seeing that the two of them had arrived, the referee announced loudly.
However, this kind of secret method inspired her, and maybe it can be used in battles in the future, and the moment it closes after tearing the space, forming some kind of powerful cutting effect.
Soon after arriving at the VIP box and taking a seat, the competition also entered the opening ceremony, first with a burst of music, a mermaid singer surfacing to sing, and then a black and white orca performance swirling around her.
After the award ceremony, the four of them returned home, still chatting about the characteristics of each institution and the unique fighting methods of each contestant.
Although the sword was inserted, only a small part of the sword was broken, and the blade part had already been cut by another gate opened by Cook and fell into the water.
On one side is a ruffian man with his hands in his pockets and a wide cloak, and on the other side is a young man with resolute eyes and a black and white swordsman suit.
"It's terrible, it's almost a blink of an eye, and that senior loses." Blanche was a little shocked.
Retracting his twin swords, Wen Yuting pulled up the streamer and saluted, and then the game ended here.
Faced with this situation, Wilson immediately let the two self-discipline units move forward and unfold the translucent solid barrier, and the moment the barrier opened, two short swords were inserted into it.
"Boom!"
"It's called the big white kite, you are you~" Ti Lan said and laughed.
"No eggs have been laid at the moment." Ti Lan thought about it, the bare cotton bird does not lay eggs frequently, similar to the eagle falcon, the advanced white kite has wisdom, and can control it by itself.
Although the federal ranking of the 'Gate Academy' is not high, hovering around 400-500, and the secret method inheritance in the school is quite simple, that is, opening and closing various 'gates', but the so-called trick is eaten all over the world, with its unique and terrifying lethality, the graduates of the 'Gate Academy' have always been the welcome staff of various firms.
"This time it is the 'Gate Academy' Cook, and the 'Xunying Academy' Mo Arc."
"I still like the White Knight Armor, if only he were more handsome." Blanche whispered.
"It's pretty good."
"Well, no name." She doesn't have any habit of choosing names, and sometimes she feels that naming animals will have a strange feeling, as if she is forcing the human society on animals.
Gate Academy, Ti Lan touched the white kite in her arms, if it was said that others would be very troublesome when they encountered this kind of opponent, but for her, it was not as dangerous as Wen Yuting.
After that, the four of them chatted about the various extraordinary animals they had come into contact with and met along the way, until the hovercar slowly landed in the Poseidon Arena in the third district of the center.
The entire interior of the Poseidon Arena is like a large lake, with only two pumice stones floating in the middle of the symmetrical position, as a point for players to stand on when entering.
"It would be nice if 'Mocharanza' had a little more room to spare." Shui Yanqing said regretfully, she felt that this person's physiognomy was very good with herself in the game.
"Then what do you usually call it?"
"The floodgates open."
A few seconds later, the water splashed, and the scene finally appeared, Mo Arc's sword plunged into Cook's heart, chest, and he himself was cut off by the falling giant guillotine, and his legs were cut off, bleeding profusely.
Because it is not an official competition, the rules are quite simple, that is, the elimination system, and the promotion layer by layer until the final winner is determined.
After the rules were explained, the water in the arena rippled, and then a huge whirlpool gradually formed in the center, which was reflected by the twelve lampposts at the bottom, and after a few seconds, the vortex gasped upwards again, forming a magnificent column of water in the air, which continued to extend into the sky.
'Spiral Leaf Cup' 12 giant enterprises jointly sponsored the event,The participants are all students of the school city,In order to increase the fun and enjoyment of the competition,The venue is different every year,This year it is in the waterγ
It is like the open front teeth quickly closing and colliding, and the sound of continuous closing and crashing unfolds in the venue, some on the water, some in the air, and some underwater, and the slightly distorted spatial dislocation picture indicates that there are invisible doors in these places, suddenly closing up and down, bursting into sound.
"This is the venue for the 'Rotary Leaf Cup' competition."
It may not be that difficult to tear through the spatial gap, but it becomes extremely difficult to allow yourself to shuttle through safely, or to stabilize yourself, so although there are many space-related secret techniques, most of them use this kind of spatial gap to attack, rather than entering by yourself.
More than ten seconds later,The water column dissipated,A faint rainbow appeared in the venue,And in the center also stands a statue of the god of the sea,Its appearance resembles a mermaid,Sitting on the reef,Hand stroked the harp,It is said that this is based on the appearance of the former sea witch Phoebe,It is also to commemorate the legendary sea school city 'Phoebe'γ
"Oh, Swift Shadow."
Time passed slowly, and at about 10 o'clock in the evening, the competition also came to an end, the champion was an orc student from the 'Split-Claw Beast Academy', he won very reluctantly, and the most concerned by the audience was the runner-up, Mochalansa from the 'Phantom Pupil Academy', this girl relied on the illusion that was difficult to distinguish between true and false, defeated one opponent after another, many people were obviously much higher than her combat power, but at the beginning of the game, she was hit by the illusion and didn't know it, and finally the attack all fell in the empty space and failed.
So the key is to avoid being hit, if she comes to the stage to fight against Wen Yuting, the most direct way is to defeat her faster than the other party, whether it is the teleportation ability or the terrifying speed after the goblin transforms, she can help Ti Lan do this.
Different from high school, the combat competition in college is not only about personal strength, but also about the combination of various extraordinary props and equipment, Wen Yuting's special clothes are made of special 'Xia Silver Silk' extraordinary materials, which can not only greatly enhance the protective force, but also easily perform many secret methods with the help of the brand pattern engraved on the fabric.
At this time, Mo Arc, who had already exploded, was too late to retreat, which would only slow down his speed and make it easier to become a target, so he resolutely accelerated again, and approached Cook in the gap where the guillotine fell, and a faint white light appeared at the end of the blade in his hand.
"Nothing." Shui Yanqing skimmed his face and looked at the night scene outside the car window.
This white kite was obviously not raised in recent months, but Ti Lan had been raising it for a long time, but it had been several months since she entered the school, and they had only seen it for the first time.
After dodging at such a high intensity for a few seconds, Mo Arc's body burst out, breaking through the speed of sound almost instantly, and hitting Cook directly.
"I also studied the cultivator course before." Ti Lan reluctantly explained.
"Listen, I'll beat you in five moves, no, no, no, four moves."
"The blood pupil sequence is a specialized cultivation of a special combat direction, and the strength is of course amazing." Shui Yanqing shook her head slightly.
Today, it is very lively, with ornaments of the Winter Festival hanging all over the arena and many spectators sitting in the auditorium.
"Sure enough, he is a genius from the 'Doom Red Academy', not many of his peers can resist such a method, and the demon-breaking penetration ability of the 'Doom Red Silk' is too strong." The audience whispered.
Because it is a highly competitive event, almost all of the elite students on stage are Sequence 6 elite students, who are also the geniuses of various universities and institutions, and the top handful of their peers after countless eliminations.
"Where's Oreth?" Shui Yanqing asked suddenly.
"Well, it took a lot of thought to cultivate it." Tilan said modestly.
Sensing that the two of them were a little unpleasant, Ti Lan shook her head helplessly, these two are really incompatible, they have been together for several months.
This is the result of Wen Yuting giving up, if it is a fight in actual combat, Wilson's body has already cracked into various pieces at this time.
Ti Lan also stopped chatting with her companion and watched intently, her cheek resting on the warm feathers of the white kite, and her eyes were fixed on the two people in the arena.
The third place is from the 'White Knight Academy', this young man in white exoskeleton armor takes off his helmet, he looks particularly simple and honest, his combat ability may not be amazing, but the victory is high in defense, comprehensive ability, there is no special shortcoming, even in the face of illusion, can remain calm, and the opponent is constantly hard to consume time and magic, drag the opponent into a protracted battle, and then defeat it.
The secret method of the Gate Academy only needs a short violent tear, completely ignoring the stability and security of the spatial gap, after all, it is only used to attack, which saves a lot of energy and magic power, and also enables the transcendent of Sequence 6 to open dozens of gates in a few seconds.
The guillotine fell, a huge splash of water was lifted, and the audience watched the scene nervously.
"The first game is Wen Yuting of the 'Erhong Academy', against Wilson of the 'Gesi Academy'."
The referee gave an order, and the two sides took their own actions, first Wen Yuting, I saw the two short swords in her hands fall, suspended and rotated in the air, and then shot out, and the two red lines cut through the entire venue like a shock.
Seeing that Oles beside her was still a little irritable, sulking at Shui Yanqing's one-blow detachment, Tilan stretched out her hand, held her wrist, and pressed it lightly on her leg, after a while, Olese gradually stabilized her mood and was no longer angry.
On the other side, Wilson of the 'Gesi Academy', he entered in a high-necked white and green uniform, dressed exceptionally straight, and there were two eight-sided floating units floating on his side, flashing with various electronic indication patterns and lights.
This kind of secret technique of combining space and cutting is as clear and clear as a toy in her eyes, and she can even reverse the opening of the gate above the other person's head.
"Is there a name?" Shui was disgusted with Qing and curious.
Outside the window, there was scattered light snow in the sky, covering the earth, and before she knew it, it was the end of December, time was fleeting, and she slowly became familiar with the life of the central star field, and also met many singers like her.
"Game on!"
"Really?" Mo Arc stood on the pumice stone, leaned over slightly, and pressed one hand on the hilt of the sword.
"It's like the first time I know Tilan, there are always many unknown and mysterious things." Shui tired of quipping.
"Tsk, you're really desperate." Cook pushed the short-haired youth in front of him and pulled out the sword that had been plunged into his chest.
Cook seemed to have expected this, and a huge gate about ten meters wide, like a guillotine guillotine, fell rapidly from the sky, and he himself stood under this guillotine.
At the moment when the words fell, Mo Arc's figure turned into an afterimage and disappeared, and at this time, Cook was still making the action of withdrawing his hand, just when the audience had a bad premonition and thought that Cook was going to be cut by Mo Arc on the spot, he was stunned and snapped his fingers.
In fact, the secret method of the Gate Academy is also a trick, because the long-term or stable maintenance of space gaps consumes a huge amount, which is why few transcendents use the spatial teleportation ability.
After the performance, it was the host's usual speech, thanking the twelve giant companies for sponsorship, and then introducing the rules.
In the following time, the elites of each school took turns to play, showing the exclusive secret techniques and characteristic combat methods of each school, which opened the eyes of many freshmen and saw a variety of cutting-edge and novel combat skills, including but not limited to various scientific and technological products, illusion interference, speed attack, charm mind, magic projection expansion, swarm tactics, erosion strangulation, etc., compared to the high school winter festival Dabi pays attention to fairness and rules, today's game has very few taboos, as long as you can win, it will be worshipped.
"I have two elven dragons at home, and it takes nearly 20 people to take care of them, which is very laborious." Oles remembered the two beautiful and narcissistic big guys in the family.
If the clown that day faced these talented students, 70% of the contestants, he couldn't beat them, and he could only become a stepping stone for others to advance.
At the beginning of the game, Wen Yuting, who used dual swords with the 'Doom Red Silk', was defeated in his hands and eliminated, and under the rock-solid white stone armor, the erosion of the red silk could not penetrate at all. It's a pity that some people commented, this kind of tactic can be used in the game, in actual combat, when you encounter this kind of stupid big man, just skip it, anyway, the opponent's speed is not fast, and the attack power is not strong.
If she fully burst out of speed, she was confident that she would be able to avoid the strangulation of the short sword, but if she was really stabbed, the erosion and destructive power of the special red line would also greatly inhibit her self-healing ability, so that she could not recover in a short time.
After landing on the pumice stone in the water, Wen Yuting pulled out two short swords, the inside of the blade was hollowed out, and when the magic power was injected, a trace of red magic light appeared, which was the unique inheritance of the 'Doom Red Academy', the 'Doom Red Silk', and there were many matching usages and secret techniques.
When he came on stage, the corners of Cook's mouth cracked, revealing an exaggerated expression, he waved it out with one hand, and then pointed his thick index finger to the opposite side.
Then, in this series of closing sounds and waves, everyone finally saw the vague and fleeting figure. It turned out that these gates were all on the way for Mo Arc to advance and dodge, and if it weren't for his speed, he would have been cut in half by this closed gate in response.
Wen Yuting was dressed in silver and red, the fabric on the sleeves and skirt reflected a faint metallic luster, and the streamers of similar material were also wrapped around him, like a mythical immortal.
'Erhong Academy' is ranked 136 in the Federation.,In the school city.,It's also the top batch.,Especially known for its individual lethality.γ
Even the singers who are envied by the eyes of the world have different little troubles, although life is special, but it doesn't seem to exceed people's imagination, and now it even feels a little bland.
Perhaps, this is life.
