Volume 12 Interlude 6: Leisure Travel Chapter 29: Top 16, various forces!
The middle duel match.
The contestants are not necessarily stronger than those in the previous first round, but there are generally no weak ones.
For example, when Lu Bai was in the middle stage, he met a junior leader in the workplace.
It is said that this young leader in the workplace has duelled with countless employees, successfully defeated countless new employees, and consolidated his position.
At the same time, I also learned the PUA method, the cake-making method, and the method of abusing subordinates.
This bald, fat, middle-aged man is obviously a member of the spiritual sect.
Its speed and power are not fast, but the pressure it brings to people is extremely strong.
"You are still young. Don't just think about money or what you can get from the company. Think about what you can bring to the company!"
"This is not your job, so why don't you do it? The company is your home, and family matters are not yours and mine! These belong to everyone!"
"Do you think the company is your home? You don't have to work overtime if you don't want to?"
"It's not easy to work these days. If you don't do it, there are plenty of people who want to do it!"
"You have good talent. As long as you are willing to work hard for the company, you may be able to become a senior executive. What do you want then?"
"You should take a long-term view. If you work hard for the company now, you will also benefit when the company grows bigger, right?"
"You must learn to endure hardships. Only by enduring hardships can you become a successful person. When you reach a certain age, you will definitely not regret the hardships you have endured now."
"The company is going to fire you, but I hope you can consider the company and resign on your own initiative!"
"Your performance is not up to standard. If you don't resign, you will only get the basic salary."
"By the way, you're going on a business trip to another city. Travel expenses? No!"
"If you think it through, then resign quickly. You are a talented person, there is no need to waste your time in our company!"
Similar words come out of your mouth, and every word can bring corresponding mental pressure.
The most terrifying thing is that this young leader in the workplace has a special skill - the whole family, young and old.
He can create your entire family in an instant, but this entire family is under his control, and your lifeline is controlled by him.
In this case, you can only surrender and admit defeat.
That is Lu Bai. Faced with the oppression of capital, he chose to be angry and let blood splatter five steps away, and then red was derived from the blood.
As for what is behind the red, it’s hard to say.
In short, Lu Bai won.
On the other side, Nangong Wudi also met his opponent, Beitang Wuwang from the Beitang family.
The Beitang family has a secret skill - counterattack defense!
When you are attacked, you can counterattack directly without having to wait until you dodge or block before you can parry.
In other words, the Beitang family does not need to defend and can completely counterattack with offense!
It is also because of this that the Beitang family completely restrains the Nangong family, and the Nangong family's first attack means are completely useless to them.
Because the Beitang family is famous for its defensive counterattacks, when they duel, they never try to take the initiative.
On the other hand, the Nangong family's initiative actually restrained the Ximen family.
The Ximen family's sneak attack seems to be able to launch an attack at any time and attack the opponent, and is better than the Beitang family in terms of choice, but in fact, the Ximen family's sneak attack can only be a sneak attack.
Faced with the Nangong family's preemptive attack, they could only choose to dodge and defend first. If they launched a sneak attack, the first move would definitely fall on the opponent's head first, while the sneak attack had not yet landed.
This is the limitation of sneak attacks. You can only take advantage of the gaps when the opponent is unable to attack. There is also the possibility that the opponent will dodge, defend or even counterattack.
However, the Dongfang family's secret skills were just restrained by the Ximen family's secret skills.
The Dongfang family's secret technique is called charging, which allows them to accumulate their own attack rounds and release them all at once during a certain attack.
For the Ximen family, this is like having two chances to attack the Dongfang family in each round.
As long as they finish accumulating strength before the Dongfang family finishes, they have a very high chance of winning.
In the process, Lu Bai also met the mysterious Central Family.
The Central Family is very small and there is no such thing as a branch family. There are only three or four people in a generation.
The secret skill they mastered was suppression.
The suppression secrets possess the orthodoxy of duels, that is, they can make duel matches return to the simple situation where you flick the ball and I flick the ball.
The secret skills of Nangong, Ximen and Beitang will all become ineffective. Only the secret skills of the Dongfang family can continue to be effective because they completely work on oneself.
This has led to the current situation, which is like a game of chess, with each party restraining each other.
In the mid-game, it is more of a matter of selecting the best from the best.
Most people, on the contrary, don’t have the same subtlety as the wild ones.
They have more basic strengths. For example, the young leader in the workplace, his skills and psychological quality are just so-so.
What really makes him powerful is that he has defeated too many enemies over countless years in the workplace.
And this victory increased his basic stats.
Let him attack faster, exert stronger mental pressure, and when defending, draw a big enough pie.
The same is true for the players who have advanced to the middle stage now.
Among them, most of them have pretty good techniques and moves, but they are just pretty good.
Most of the strength comes from the numerical bonus gained from defeating the enemies over a long period of time.
It is rare to see an individual like Nangong Wudi who possesses the secret method of recalling memories.
In comparison, the people from the five major families possess special secret skills and special secret methods that they developed themselves.
At the same time, he has solid strength, and his numbers are far beyond those of ordinary people.
The most important point is that the people from the five major families have a complete offensive and defensive system.
Although the offensive and defensive skills of others seem to be a set, they cannot cooperate with each other to form an absolute advantage.
But the five great families are different. Their skills are combined with secret techniques to form an overwhelming advantage.
"It looks like this year the five great families are competing for the top spot in the world again."
"I don't think so. There are still many strong players participating this year."
Below the competition stage, the audience was also expressing their opinions.
"For example, Lu Bai, he was defending and counterattacking from the beginning to the end. After the opponent had fully exerted his abilities, he defeated him easily."
"Or maybe those people from the Truth Church."
"There are also people from the Magic Attack Sect. Although their methods are despicable, they are indeed very strong."
In the beginning, the Demonic Attack Sect was not actually that despicable. They just used various methods to attack other people's minds.
That young leader in the workplace could be recognized as a magic attacker in the early days.
The real decline of the magic attack path was after several world's best duel competitions, when they found that the winners of the competitions were basically people from the five major families. In order to overthrow the ruling status of the families, they delved into more and more devilish things.
Eventually it became what it is today.
Mo Gongdao is one of the few players who can make it to the finals.
Most of the other contestants will be gradually defeated by the contestants from the five major families in the middle stages of the competition.
Occasionally there will be some lucky ones who stand out, but in the end they find it difficult to make a comeback and can only lose in the finals.
At this time, Lu Bai continued to duel and saw different scenery.
Finally made it to the top 16.
Among the sixteen people, eleven are from the five major families, and the remaining five, except Lu Bai, are one from the Truth Sect, one from an alien, one from the Magic Attack Sect, and one is of unknown identity.
That’s right, there are alien planets in this world.
But it is called the other side of heaven.
It is said that it was originally the residence of God, and even now, there are still believers of God on the ground.
Unfortunately, God was defeated many years ago, so the other side of heaven was downgraded and became an alien.
According to the alien in white robes, he came here to spread the mystery of God again.
Among the top sixteen, Lu Bai met a contestant from the Truth Church for the first time.
The Truth Church is one of the most powerful religious sects in the world.
The middle finger rocket used in the audience was actually a product of the Truth Church.
Not only have they developed many technological weapons, they also possess various magical secrets.
They generally believe that this world is not its true face, and that the mind obscures the true face of the world.
It can be said that they are actually the organization with the clearest understanding of this mental image dimension.
Unfortunately, this organization has only been able to fight by shooting each other on the forehead .
Lu Bai is very interested in this organization.
"You are different from those in this world who are hindered by their hearts." Before Lu Bai spoke, the man from the Church of Truth said, "We cannot fully see your heart."
“Please, let us see more of the scenes that are not obscured by the heart!”
As he spoke, the duel began.
Also guessing first, a huge and flashing thing fell down first, blocking the way of the two people.
The commentator's voice also sounded quickly.
"Welcome to our round of 16 to the quarterfinals."
"The contestants currently competing are Lu Bai and Zhenli Shensi."
"Our player Lu Bai didn't make any guesses. It seems that he is still going to choose the strategy of defensive counterattack."
"And our contestant Truth·Deep Thought has already set up a supercomputer and is calculating the best time to attack!"
"There are many cannons and machine guns on the stage. With the order, they will open fire immediately and blow our contestant Lu Bai's head into pieces!!"
"There are also space-based satellites, which have now been set up in the most appropriate position. Once the attack time arrives, space-based weapons will surely fall!"
"This is the power of the Truth Cult. Their middle finger can be a weapon of any shape."
Lu Bai looked carefully and found that the other party's middle finger had been modified into a control center.
In other words, although the opponent is still attacking with the middle finger, this middle finger has become the trigger of thousands of weapons.
In this way, the opponent obtains the attack method of infinite weapons.
