Chapter 185: Emptiness
After the dark horse incident, the game behind the junior tournament has become a lot more dull, although occasionally a wonderful battle will break out, but the waves that can be caused are certainly not as good as the four empires, at most, the players between the two small countries are in full swing, and they seem to have a lot of posture, and in the eyes of insiders, they will fall behind, and they can't get on the table.
Xiao Lin sat a little listlessly next to the area of his group, holding his chin with both hands and looking at the two players who were playing back and forth in front of him, and yawned vigorously.
He was actually a little puzzled, he didn't know if his level had improved or the other party's ability was not good, in Xiao Lin's eyes, these two people had turned the tide of the battle several times in the process of fighting, and one move decided the timing of the victory, but the two of them didn't see anything as if they were blind.
"Alas. Xiao Lin sighed softly in his heart, and then he looked up at the excited spectators in the stands around him, and his heart was even more strange.
"Really, what's so good about a game at such a low level. Xiao Lin couldn't help but muttered in his heart, "If the master duel, you can still take a look twice, the level of these people is not as good as mine, I really don't understand." ”
In fact, insiders look at the doorway and outsiders look at the excitement, in Xiao Lin's eyes, he may feel that the level of the two people in front of him is really not good, but in the eyes of the audience, as long as the fight is good-looking, the fire is splashing, and the dust is flying, the grander the scene, the happier they are, and the core purpose of the martial arts competition is to make the audience happy, only when the audience is happy will they be willing to spend money, which is why the organizers want to make the preliminaries a particularly long schedule.
Xiao Lin yawned again, only then did he hear the staff calling his name, he stood up a little sleepy-eyed, slowly walked to the center of the field and stood still, rubbed his eyes vigorously, patted his cheeks, hoping to wake up a little, he was really bored watching the game next to him.
The opponent is also a teenager, Xiao Lin saw that there were no girls in his group, which made him breathe a sigh of relief, and he didn't know why, he always felt that it would be particularly troublesome to fight with girls, and he might suffer a big loss, this is the conclusion that he came from after fighting with Linglong and Liuli.
The staff probably also wanted to end today's game early, so that they could leave work early, and when Xiao Lin and his opponent just stood on the field, he immediately announced the start of the game.
The young man obviously hadn't reacted yet, Xiao Lin's whole body rushed towards the other party like an arrow off the string, and the "Flying Shadow" exerted all his strength, and the maximum power of the breathing method was turned on, and his fists were wrapped in a layer of fierce burning flames, and smashed towards the young man's chest.
Originally, Xiao Lin went to the other party's head, this is a habit he developed in the trial of the Fierce Ghost Forest, and he must not show mercy to his enemies, if this code of conduct is placed on the battlefield, there is nothing wrong with it.
But it is forbidden to kill people in the martial arts competition, Xiao Lin reacted violently in mid-air, if this punch really hit a target, then he probably doesn't need to participate in any genius training camp, Heiting
The death row would open its arms to him, and he eventually changed the trajectory of his fist and landed on the opponent's chest.
The young man looked a little confused, he didn't expect Xiao Lin to make a move so quickly, until the flaming fist was already close in front of him, he reacted suddenly, a trace of panic flashed on his face, and he hurriedly waved a palm, actually forgetting to use his own ability, and collided with Xiao Lin's fire fist with his own flesh palm.
Suddenly, a piercing scream came out, and there was a burning sound from the young man's palm, his right hand had become pitch black, his body trembled violently because of the pain in his heart, his forehead was covered with cold sweat, his face was pale, and his lips were purple.
"The game is over. The staff made a timely verdict, believing that Xiao Lin won the game, and there was no need to continue fighting.
Xiao Lin watched expressionlessly as the young man was taken away by the medical staff, but he sighed in his heart, the previous dark horse incident would not happen continuously after all, although he was not a candidate cultivated by the four great empire families, but after all, he had been trained in the black court for such a period of time, and the education and training he received was unimaginable for these children from small countries, not to mention that he also had such a cheap master as Su He, although he occasionally acted a little unreliable, but this ability is really nothing to say.
Defeating the strong with the weak, defeating the children of the nobles with a poor background, this kind of bridge is more in fairy tales after all, and the reality is much crueler than fairy tales.
Without strong resource support, without high-level teacher teaching, without the experience of blood and fire, a person cannot grow, especially for those who are capable.
If you want to make great progress in your ability, it is useless to just rely on a person locked up in a house and practice hard, you must go through actual combat, feel the smell of blood splashed on your face, see your companions die in front of you, you must witness everything around you dyed red, and travel through the abyss corridor of killing and fear, in order to take that crucial step to improve your strength.
Xiao Lin walked off the field and walked aimlessly into the distance, one person only had one game a day, and he could leave after completing the game, and he didn't have to stay on the edge of the field.
"The game ended so early, why should I go?" Xiao Lin thought in his heart, he didn't know what to do next, and he didn't want to go back to his room, so he just walked around the street for a while.
During the junior martial arts competition, Su He stopped Xiao Lin's daily training plan, he felt that he should not train at such a high intensity during this time, and give his body enough time to recover in order to ensure that his physical strength is full, so that he can cope with the following competitions more freely.
This also caused a consequence, Xiao Lin was about to get sick every day, his life was originally full of heavy and painful training, and after completing the daily task, he would spread out on his bed like a dead dog, and he fell asleep as soon as his head was on the pillow.
But now the situation has changed, which makes Xiao Lin very uncomfortable, except for completing a game every day, he
He didn't have to do anything else, and he didn't know how to use the extra time, which made him feel at a loss, and the day before he returned to his room after the competition, he hid in the bed and slept for a day, and the more he slept, the more tired he became, which made him quite distressed.
"Hey, what are you doing? A crisp voice suddenly came into Xiao Lin's ears, making him come back to his senses suddenly, and found that Liuli was leaning in front of him, staring at him with blinking eyes.
"What are you doing?" Xiao Lin asked a little strangely.
"I want to ask you. Ruri rolled her eyes, "A person with his head down in the middle of the road, affecting the traffic order." ”
Xiao Lin looked up and looked around, and found that he was standing in the middle of the passage of the competition, and the staff and players who were shuttling around him would look at him strangely, and he could only move awkwardly to the side, making way for pedestrians to pass.
"Are you over today's game?" asked Liuli, staring at Xiao Lin.
"It's over. Xiao Lin said casually, his eyes had been a little wandering, and he did not make contact with Liuli's gaze.
"Did you win, why are you so sad?" asked Ruri like a curious baby.
"Won. Xiao Lin replied nonchalantly, and at the same time walked forward.
"Let's go out and have fun, then. Ruri suggested with some excitement.
"What are you playing?" Xiao Lin was stunned, to be honest, he was not very willing to stay with Liuli for a long time, after all, his identity was sensitive, and Liuli suddenly came to him with other purposes, he felt that it was better to keep his distance.
"What are you talking about, isn't this your hometown, what's the fun to do?" asked Ruri with a smile.
"Me?" Xiao Lin was stunned, "I don't know." ”
"Why don't you know?" asked Ruri.
"I don't live here. Xiao Lin felt that the other party's offensive was a little rushed.
"Where did you live before, which city?" asked Ruri.
"You're still interrogating me?" Xiao Lin frowned, a little impatient in his heart.
"I'm just curious. Liuli snorted, "Don't say it, forget it, this girl is not rare." ”
"Then go get busy, goodbye. Xiao Lin said that, and left without looking back.
Liuli glared viciously at Xiao Lin, and finally snorted and walked in the opposite direction.
Xiao Lin walked out of the arena and wandered aimlessly through the streets of the Tianxiang Imperial Capital, holding a few skewers in his hands, eating with a mouth full of oil, if there is anything that he will miss in the future of the Imperial Capital, it must be the food here, which is much better than those coarse tea and light rice in the Black Court.
It's just that Xiao Lin didn't feel the happiness brought to him by food at this time, he sat down on a bench on the side of the street, looked at the endless flow of people in front of him expressionlessly, and suddenly felt a pain in his heart for no reason, and a cold chill was like a sharp dagger inserted into his chest, making his whole body shiver.
What Xiao Lin didn't notice was that in a dark alley on the side of the street, a figure dressed as a scholar was waving a folding fan
Staring at him intently, with a smile on his face all the time, he spoke softly, as if talking to himself: "Man, it is a very strange species, always like to find out unpleasant, happy things are sometimes forgotten quickly, but the sad past will come to your heart from time to time, and hit your heart. ”
The scholar looked at Xiao Lin's thin and lonely back, slowly turned away, fanned his fan as he walked, and said softly: "Loneliness just comes from emptiness, go find something to do, there is deeper despair and pain waiting for you in the future." ”
