Chapter 1: Stormy Chapter 80 Liu Hai's True Strength
In the stands, Xu Jingming and the other six people were watching the two teams on the commentary desk. After some interviews and chats, the two teams finally headed to the battle space.
"It's about to start." Xu Jingming said, "Watch this game carefully. The situation faced by the Xianzi team is very similar to ours. We can learn some experience."
"Senior Liu Hai hasn't really shown his true strength for a long time. I hope this game can show us his true strength." Wang Yi also said.
Everyone present was watching carefully, and Li Miaomiao was among them, looking like she was watching very seriously.
The first semi-final was on the Forest map.
The forest is a bit muddy after the rain.
The five men of Liu Hai and the five men of Zhang Qing all landed in different areas, some on the hillside, some on the ground, and some on trees.
"The four of you should team up to deal with the four seniors first." Zhang Qing was wearing light armor that fitted her body and carrying two swords. She was a pretty woman, but her eyes were as sharp as swords. "Coach Liu Hai will not interfere in your fight."
"Yes, Captain."
"Yes, Master." All four female team members responded.
In the forest, Sun Yuting, Wang Nuan, Dai Xiaoqing, and Yuan Yujiao from the Xianzi team and Xu Hong, Dai Tongda, Tian Yiqu, and Zhou Fan from the Liuhai team started fighting.
It was a one-on-one confrontation, with the cooperation of the archers, and in an instant arrows were whistling and the fight began.
Liu Hai watched this scene with great interest, admiring the fight of these younger generations: "Zhou Fan and the others, after my guidance and after training in competitions, their moves have become more sophisticated and their coordination has become better. Those girls... are pretty, but they are too young and not stable enough."
After a fight.
All four members of the Xianzi team were wiped out, and the archer Zhou Fan from the Liuhai senior team survived to the end!
“Whoosh.”
When she was the only one left in the team, Zhang Qing moved. She moved very quickly and ran straight towards Zhou Fan.
Zhou Fan did not flee either, but stayed where he was and watched silently. When Zhang Qing rushed to a distance of 30 meters, he suddenly started to shoot arrows rapidly, one arrow after another! Zhang Qing did not even dodge, but rushed forward, his two swords flashed slightly, and blocked the arrows.
"Swish." A sword swept across Zhou Fan's body, and Zhou Fan's body turned into illusion and disappeared.
Zhang Qing turned his head and looked at Liu Hai in the distance. Liu Hai had already walked over.
"Coach Liu Hai, aren't you going to take out your weapon?" Zhang Qing looked at him.
"If I want to take it, I will." Liu Hai is tall and strong, with loose hair and fiery eyes. He is looking forward to this battle. "Go ahead."
whoosh.
Zhang Qing held two swords, his figure flashed and nimble, and he rushed straight towards Liu Hai.
Zhang Qing's swordsmanship is different from others, it is extremely beautiful, like art. Therefore, Zhang Qing has many fans, because watching her perform swordsmanship is an ultimate enjoyment of beauty.
Similarly, beneath her beautiful appearance, her swordsmanship is also extremely brutal, and she is recognized as the best swordsman in the Xia Kingdom.
"Dang." The moment Zhang Qing approached, Liu Hai, who was still standing there with empty hands, instantly drew out the sword from his waist and blocked the attack.
Zhang Qing did not stop at all, her figure moved, and at the same time, she stabbed, chopped, slashed, and cut with her sword. There was a burst of brilliant sword light, and for a moment, it was impossible to count how many swords she had used. All she could hear was the sound of swords colliding again and again.
In an instant, Zhang Qing seemed to turn into several figures, and countless sword lights besieged Liu Hai from all directions.
Liu Hai stood there without moving, just using his knife to block Zhang Qing's sword every time.
"Zhang Qing has already brought his body movements and sword agility to the extreme." Xu Jingming watched the live broadcast. "The most terrifying thing is Master. Master's sword can only move a very short distance. He uses the shortest displacement to achieve the best effect. He is not willing to waste even a bit of energy."
"Master's control over power and space has reached an incredible level." Xu Jingming was a little shocked. "Zhang Qing's body movements change very quickly, and his two swords move very quickly. But all the changes in the trajectory of the sword techniques are completely under Master's control."
"Master once said that we should control the enemy's speed. But now, Master has completely controlled the space." Xu Jingming felt the relief of his Master.
…
"I have blocked over a hundred of your swords, you also need to block one of mine." Liu Hai, who had been standing still, suddenly moved.
boom.
With one step forward, the figure became blurred and Zhang Qing's face changed. She felt that she could not determine the final area of Liu Hai's attack and she was extremely vigilant and paid attention to the knife in Liu Hai's hand.
“Bang!”
Liu Hai threw a punch with his left hand, which was as fast as lightning, piercing through the void and directly hitting Zhang Qing's abdomen.
This punch was so fast and there was no warning. Once it was thrown... Zhang Qing had no time to react. This was similar to Xu Jingming's shadowless stab, a punch that exceeded the speed of nerve reaction.
Zhang Qing flew backwards like a cannonball and crashed into a big tree behind him, causing the tree to explode.
Zhang Qing knelt on the ground, holding her abdomen in pain. There was a huge fist mark on her light armor. The horrible impact force destroyed her internal organs. Blood came out of her mouth and nose. She looked up at Liu Hai in disbelief: "One punch?"
Zhang Qing turned into nothingness and disappeared on the battlefield.
Liu Hai stood there and sighed softly: "Can't you even take a punch?"
He passed the Starry Sky Tower within 38 minutes of its opening. After more than a month of hard training and the state's key training, Liu Hai felt lonely. Even for someone as good as Zhang Qing... Zhang Qing had no time to defend against his punch, and was killed in one punch.
The forest map collapsed, and Liu Hai's team still won.
…
The entire Xiaguo live broadcast room felt a little suffocated, and the room was still replaying the previous fight in slow motion.
In slow motion, everything is clearer.
Zhang Qing's movements were as fast as a phantom, and his two swords were even faster. Liu Hai, however, only had a single sword, and he did not move a step. His single sword simply moved and completely blocked all attacks. This single sword... was like an absolute space defense, and any attack within the surrounding three feet of space would be blocked.
"Senior Liu Hai didn't even use a shield, but he passed the third level of the Starry Sky Tower with a combination of shield and sword." Male guest Jin Fan's voice trembled, "The virtual world has been open for more than a month, how far has Senior Liu Hai improved?"
"Is the gap between other masters and the masters on the Star List so exaggerated?" Female guest Ju Wenqing was originally a fanatical fan of Zhang Qing, but the gap in this battle was too big.
"Maybe Senior Liu Hai is the world's number one, so there is a big gap between him and others," said host Liu Xin.
The male guest Jin Fan on the side retorted: "Senior Lei Yunfang is the best in the world in terms of body movement speed. His body movement speed is even more terrifying than Senior Liu Hai."
"I now understand why the official organization has designated Senior Liu Hai and Senior Lei Yunfang's teams as Team 1 and Team 2 for this Fire Seed Cup competition." Female guest Ju Wenqing shook her head, "They are just too strong."
Countless viewers also felt confused.
"After watching so many games, I always feel that the Xianzi team is very strong."
"Zhang Qing has been very relaxed throughout his winning streak, and he has never used his full strength. But in front of Liu Hai... how come he can't even take a single punch?"
"Shouldn't light armor protect against swords and arrows? How can Liu Hai's fist, hitting the armor, kill the opponent?"
"Is Liu Hai's fist a fist? That's more terrifying than a heavy hammer! Didn't you see that before, Liu Hai's sword cut the heavy armor in two."
"Liu Hai's realm is too high. I guess his physical fitness is ridiculously high, and his fighting skills are also ridiculously high, so he can crush us so much."
“Is this the world’s number one strength?”
"They say young people have potential, but why do I feel like the gap between young people and this old man is getting bigger and bigger?"
Countless comments rolled in.
The Xia people have complicated feelings about Liu Hai. On the one hand, they are proud that the world's number one is a Xia person. On the other hand, they think Liu Hai is too strong, far stronger than others.
…
"Master is really strong." Xu Jingming was secretly surprised. "During the entire Fire Seed Cup Competition, Master didn't really show some of his strength until he met Zhang Qing. But it was also a strength that made people despair."
The other teammates looked up to him even more.
If Xu Jingming could see through many real and fake opponents and felt that he could still fight for eight or ten moves, the other teammates only felt that he was strong and far surpassed their strength.
…
"Liu Hai is really strong. His current level should still be number one in the world." Pang Ze said in the stands.
Director Zhou nodded gently: "Although the other top masters in the world have also made rapid progress, Liu Hai has also been making progress. His current combat power data is still absolutely number one in the world."
"It is a blessing for our country Xia to have such a master, he is a Chinese." Pang Ze said.
Director Zhou said: "We now value him very much and are willing to train him with all our strength. However, after Liu Hai selected the fifth-level shield sword technique, he did not ask for any new resources."
"I am very optimistic about him." Pang Ze nodded, "His future is limitless."
Director Zhou's heart moved, he knew very well that Pang Ze had a sharp vision.
"Besides him, who else do you think is promising among the Xia country's masters?" Director Zhou asked.
"You already know that, don't you?" Pang Ze said with a smile, "Three years ago, I asked my son and Xu Jingming to learn spearmanship. Who do you think I like the most?"
Director Zhou nodded slightly.
Are you so optimistic about Xu Jingming?
