Volume 12 Interlude 6: Leisure Travel Chapter 27: Abstract Image Dimension
Lu Bai found it very interesting.
In this world, there is basically no cultivation system, or a system that can allow one to completely sublimate oneself.
Because there is no need, they just need to duel.
Whether you win or lose, as long as you keep fighting, you can constantly improve yourself.
Of course, there should also be experience penalties involved.
Once you reach a certain limit, it will be difficult to improve yourself no matter how you duel.
"So, this kind of fantastic mental dimension is really abstract." Lu Bai signed up for the duel competition.
Although all of this seems so abstract, in fact, the strength level of this dimension is not low.
Especially the moment when the memory came out, Lu Bai was certain that this world should be a large natural dimension.
A normal large natural dimension, when developed to its peak, can give birth to one or two sun-levels. When it is destroyed, it can also give birth to a sun-level related to the destruction.
That’s right, this seemingly not-so-wide dimensional world and the previous universe world of the blue water planet are both large natural dimensions.
The difference is that the cosmic template of the Blue Water Planet makes the space and time within that dimension extremely wide, making it difficult for extraordinary powers to derive and they can only be subject to a few rules.
And because of the special mental structure of this mental dimension, the space-time of the entire dimension is not much larger than that of the earth.
However, this world's development of individual supernatural powers far exceeds the previous cosmic dimensions.
Although it’s funny to recall the past, it is definitely a force that uses its own will to forcibly interfere with the operation of the world’s rules!
Logically speaking, everyone's mental image only affects their own cognition and the world's feedback to themselves.
However, nostalgia breaks through this limitation and allows personal images to interfere with the collective image of the world.
This is the reason why memories can explode unreasonably, and even multiple injuries can be recovered immediately or even become stronger.
Nangong Wudi, who has mastered this level of ability, will be able to reach the level of at least one month once he goes to other worlds after a little adaptation.
This is the scary part of this world.
A guy who has lost 99 games in a row actually has this kind of strength.
Although this Nangong Wudi looks like a protagonist, it cannot be changed because the protagonist has not grown up yet.
Putting aside his guesses about the protagonist, Lu Bai went to the registration site for the world's number one duel competition.
The world doesn't need things like identification.
Because Lu Bai even saw a way to have children in this world.
That is, two people in love, when they fall in love with each other, an imaginary cloud of the two people combined together appears. In that mental image space and time similar to the imaginary cloud in comics, they get married and have children, raise the children to the age of six or seven, and then the child is successfully born.
One day, the child was in the cloud of imagination. Suddenly, he looked down and saw the world outside the cloud. He fell down and was hugged .
He accepted his identity very naturally and asked: Mom, can I play computer games?
In short, this world is particularly abstract. As long as two people's minds are in harmony, everything will be extremely simple.
Many times, logic is not important, what is important is the mental image.
Similar to previous funny comics, as long as the protagonist wants, anything can be done.
Lu Bai is in a similar situation at this moment. His mind is strong enough and so are his mental images.
After signing up, Lu Bai discovered that this world was full of duels.
From courtship to what to eat for dinner, if there is a conflict that cannot be resolved, then let's duel.
Duel became a part of everyone's life.
Of course, you don't have to duel, as long as you admit it.
However, in the process of continuous recognition, the image of self will become weaker and weaker, and eventually it will lead to old age and death.
In this dimension, birth and death are abnormal.
The people here have almost no life span limit, but once there is a problem with their mental image, there is really no way to save them.
For example, when Lu Bai was observing a high-end duel, one contestant's brain was popped out, but he was able to pretend to be brainless, defeat the enemy, and finally put his brain back in place.
But there was also a duel where a person was completely defeated by the enemy from top to bottom and inside out, and could not accept it, so he fell to the ground with injuries all over his body.
Even though he was only lightly tapped on the forehead, he still died.
"In essence, this is the kind of abstract anime world, like a death detective whose timeline keeps changing, or a ball prince who can create a black hole in a game."
It’s just that the dimension of this mental image is larger now, and because there are more overlapping mental images, it appears more abstract.
Lu Bai had almost no time to wait. It was as if the sky had brightened and darkened several times, and the world's number one duel competition was about to begin.
Well, just now Lu Bai used mental imagery to speed up the flow of time for himself.
Three days passed in a flash.
And even though this is the case, Lu Bai still has some memories of his life duel during these three days.
In essence, the unimportant plot is omitted and skipped.
"Welcome to this year's world's number one duel tournament."
The arena is not big, but it is surrounded by crowds of people. In this competition arena, space has lost its meaning.
Even though it is just a small arena, the strongest people from all over the world have gathered here.
"Let's start the first round of the duel!" As the commentator spoke, the whole audience cheered, shaking the clouds in the sky.
Lu Bai then went on stage, waiting for his opponent.
At the same time, there are more people fighting their own battles.
Don’t ask why there is only one arena and why thousands of people can compete in duels at the same time. The question is the mental image.
Lu Bai's opponent is also very interesting. He has three hands and two faces on his head, one smiling and the other crying.
"Welcome to the first round of the duel competition. I will now explain to you the duel between contestant Lu Bai and contestant Sanshou Two-Faced Monster!"
"Woo wow wow!" This is the speech of the three-handed, two-faced monster. It seems that his IQ is not very high.
"The advantage of the three-handed, two-faced player is that he has three hands and can perform three consecutive hits during his turn. He also has two faces, one real and one fake, that can be switched at any time."
"If you attack the wrong face, the opponent will seize the opportunity and hit you three times in a row!"
"Well, let's get ready to guess who will go first!" As the commentator finished his words, a huge word "first" appeared between the two of them.
This huge word "Xian" is constantly flashing. Lu Bai has a feeling that this word "Xian" will appear at some point. He must guess the time and then take action.
Once the guess is successful and is closer to the time of its appearance, then he has the first move, otherwise it is the enemy's first move.
This is a game that tests reaction, prediction, and psychological quality.
There are also penalties. Once you fail to guess who will go first, you either make a move before the first one appears, or you are one step behind your opponent after the first one appears.
Then your attack will be blocked by the rules, which will interrupt all your actions. So when facing the enemy's attack, all your advantages will disappear. It is basically impossible to avoid the enemy's attack, and you can only choose to take it.
In comparison, although the Nangong family's secret technique can give them 100% chance of taking the initiative, it lacks the advantage of the guessing rule.
"Of course, in addition to this, there is also the defensive counterattack style." Lu Bai immediately understood the rules.
Since you will be punished for failing to guess what will happen first, just don't guess. Give the initiative to the enemy who is eager to guess and thus unstable in his attack. Dodge at the moment of the opponent's attack and then counterattack.
Lu Bai was preparing to do just that.
The purpose of his trip was to enrich his foundation and experience.
Although with the power of the underworld, he has seen many dimensions and his knowledge and vision far exceed those of normal individuals.
But that was the power of the underworld after all, and he himself had rarely come into contact with a world with such different rules.
The individuals here may not be very strong, but after their mental images burst out, the various secret skills they master are refreshing and provide an unprecedented new experience.
As expected, Lu Bai gave up guessing who would attack first, and the three-handed two-faced beast over there launched an attack as soon as it actually appeared first.
All three hands make gestures, and then quickly perform combos.
"Ha, this is the secret technique of the three-handed two-faced beast player, three consecutive attacks!"
"Before the three-hit combo is completed, the attacked player cannot perform a counterattack."
The three consecutive attacks came fiercely and quickly, and the pure speed and power exceeded the reaction limits of most surface-level players.
Even if you dodge the first combo, you will lose the chance to dodge the next two combos because of your action.
Lu Bai dodged the three consecutive attacks by twisting his body casually, and then hit his opponent with a flick of his finger, causing him to fly backwards with a red mark on his head.
"Do you have any special secret techniques? Otherwise, I will kill you." Lu Bai asked. The opponent's three consecutive attacks only took advantage of the continuity of the attacks, thereby weakening the opponent's ability to counterattack.
As for the double-faced technique, it is even easier to break. Among the two faces, one smiling and one crying, there will only be one real face, which can be changed at any time.
But the face is just a face, and its essence is just a false thing created by the other party with flesh and blood. It can be easily broken by grasping the bone structure.
Even people with better eyesight can find some flaws.
"Go on." As he said that, Lu Bai flicked his fingers slightly and hit the empty space, which was considered as directly ending his attack round. He then handed the power of attack to the three-handed two-faced beast.
"Damn it!" The three-handed two-faced beast roared in a low voice, and then its whole body trembled continuously.
Then the smile on his face suddenly left his body, and an illusory figure put on the smile and stood behind the other person.
"This is... a substitute!!!"
