Volume 2 Chapter 20: Martial Arts Tournament (1)
On June 29th, at 8:00 in the morning, the first official martial arts competition in Fantasy kicked off!
Due to the tight time schedule and the large number of players, the competition system adopted a full elimination system. The preliminary rounds were held in different cities and venues to determine 128 players to enter the semi-finals. On the morning of June 30, these 128 players were paired by lot and divided into groups. The final 8 winners entered the finals in the afternoon. As long as there are players who enter the finals, there will be prizes.
The registration had ended a day ago. Each player had to pay a registration fee of 10 gold coins, and there were more than a million participating players. The company's revenue from this item alone exceeded tens of millions of yuan. No matter what good things the New Era Group came up with as prizes, the money would come from the sheep. Anyway, the company only cares about making money.
Although I signed up in Shenghua City, there are too many players in Shenghua City, so I was randomly assigned to the competition venue in Tianyuan City by the computer. Today is the preliminary round, and basically very few players will make a special trip to other cities to watch the game. Therefore, there are much fewer spectators here than in Shenghua City. Almost all of them are friends of the participating players, and they come specifically to be cheerleaders.
Perhaps the company also understood this point. The so-called opening ceremony was very simple. It was just a beam of light cast on each field. A spokesperson for New Era Group appeared in the beam of light. She briefly introduced the constitution and rules of the competition (the details had been announced to all players long before the game), wished all contestants a victory (this was nonsense, there are always winners and losers, and if everyone wins, the company will go bankrupt). Then she announced the start of the competition.
My number is 003768926, and I was assigned to the third group on the 124th stage. Because it was a preliminary round, in order to save time, each match was limited to five minutes. If the match was not decided after the time limit, the referee assigned by the company would make the decision. Therefore, it would be my turn in just 10 minutes. In this competition, Ji Mo and his friends had gathered enough strength, and all of them had reached level 35. Wen Xin even reached level 36, and Ba Dao also reached level 34! Fortunately, everyone was dispersed to different venues, so at least they would not kill each other in the preliminary round.
Let me first take a look at the level of the first pair of contestants on stage No. 124… Damn, one is level 33 and the other is level 31. Such trash dare to participate in the competition. Isn’t that just giving the registration fee to the company for nothing?
Both of them are warriors with average operating skills. After entering the field, they rushed towards each other and started fighting hard. It was a very boring scene. This kind of fighting style depends on the level of equipment. The two have similar equipment, so naturally the one at level 33 has a lot of advantages. However, the warrior has a lot of blood, and he was unable to kill his opponent until five minutes later. The referee announced him as the winner.
The second pair to come on the field were two level 34 warriors. This time it was a little more exciting. The orc berserker used berserk right at the start, while his opponent, the human warrior, carefully dodged his attacks and took the opportunity to counterattack with a two-hit combo. It seemed that he was not as powerful as his opponent, but in fact his attacks were more efficient.
They also fought for the full five minutes, because the victory or defeat had to be determined based on the consumption of medicines by both sides. Berserk was a skill that required the continuous consumption of HP and MP, and the orcs suffered a great loss in this regard, so they were eliminated.
It was my turn. Considering that it would be best to hide my strength in the preliminary round, I chose the Armor-Breaking Sword as my weapon. The Tiger King suit required level 45, which I couldn't wear anyway. However, the "Holy Flash" and the regular items I had on me were both very good top-notch items at the moment, so I deliberately didn't use them and changed to a slightly inferior set of equipment. I put the rest in my backpack for backup.
For this competition, considering that the average level of the participating players is around 35, professions such as magicians and archers have not yet learned skills such as teleportation and clones and are unable to compete with the knight's charge, it is stipulated that mounts cannot be used in the competition. But it doesn’t matter, my infantry combat ability is not weak either!
When I walked onto the ring, my opponent appeared. Haha, he was a level 34 archer.
The referee announced: "Blood Sky VS Sacrifice is Wonderful, the game begins!"
As soon as my name was announced, the audience cheered loudly. Isn't it? I was the number one in the Fantasy ranking list with the highest chance of winning! The casino (there is a legal casino in Fantasy, in the high-end entertainment area, and it is 18+. In fact, Fantasy only allows players over 16 years old to enter, and some functions are restricted to minors) opened a handicap, and my odds were 1 to 4.7, while the others were at least 1 to 50! But I was full of confidence. After discussing with the profiteer, I took out the gang construction funds and bet 100,000 on myself to win!
This fellow was quite capable, he was not intimidated by my reputation, he adopted the correct tactics, carefully kept a distance from me, and used the attack skill of Frost Arrow - three consecutive shots, in the hope that I would be frozen.
If it were on flat ground, I would have no way to defeat him unless I used my archery skills or relied on Tiger Soul's sword. However, since the system restricts knights from riding horses, obstacles have been set up on the arena for fairness. Several vertical beams of light shine on the arena. The light beams are transparent and do not affect the audience's viewing of the battle. However, the light beams have a blocking effect, just like the trees in the game. Players' bodies and attacks cannot pass through them. Therefore, we are actually fighting in a forest terrain.
In this way, the archer's movement speed will be greatly reduced. Conversely, as long as the warrior hides behind the light column, neither side can attack the opponent. It will then test the intelligence and operational level of both sides. Will the archer choose the correct angle to stand and use long-range attacks to cause damage to the warrior, or will the warrior lure the archer to reveal a flaw and seize the opportunity to severely damage or even kill the opponent instantly?
Because the "sacrifice is the highlight" guy was too cautious and only wandered around the edge of the ring, neither side had any good opportunities. I easily dodged his few attacks. If the situation continued like this, the referee would decide that there was a high possibility that I would win, because points would be deducted for ineffective attacks.
But I felt very bored. If I had to win the first battle in this way, I would be ashamed even if I won. Besides, I was not 100% sure that the referee would rule me the winner. I planned to take out the bow and arrow and launch a surprise attack. It didn't matter if my secret skills were exposed. I didn't believe that anyone could threaten me with my own strength.
Before I could change my weapon, the situation suddenly changed! The archer suddenly accelerated and rushed towards the light column where I was hiding. Obviously, he was very agile. Although he had to bypass many obstacles in the light column, he still rushed to my front in the blink of an eye. He shook his hand and shot three arrows. Because the distance was close, I had no way to avoid it this time!
Do I need to dodge? With my defense after adding "Solidity", his three arrows can be regarded as tickles, but I am not polite. I took advantage of the short moment when the opponent paused because of the bow shooting, and took two steps forward. Although I was hit by three arrows in the chest, it couldn't stop me at all. If it weren't for the ice magic damage, and my magic defense was too low, even these three arrows couldn't break my defense! Before the opponent had time to retreat and escape, I rushed into the attack range, broke the armor and swung it out, and accurately slashed him with a stab!
In Fantasy, the calculation of damage between players and players and between players and monsters is different. The real damage value is the attack power × 1/5, minus the defense effect (otherwise, after the skill level is improved in the later stage, you can easily exert tens of thousands of attack power, which will kill any profession in seconds). However, with my current own equipment, I have 1500-1800 attack, and the attack power of level 7 thrust reaches a terrifying 3900-4700! Even if it is × 1/5, it is still more than 800-900. The health and defense of the archer are only a little higher than that of the magician. This "sacrifice is wonderful" guy is only level 34, how can he withstand the power of my sword? He was killed on the spot!
However, since it was a formal competition held by the government, there would naturally be no penalties for adding PK points, or losing experience or exploding equipment after death. Moreover, the dead would be resurrected immediately on the spot, and there would be a referee to announce the results. So after the referee announced that "Blood Sky won and advanced to the next round", the archer came forward, shook my hand gracefully, and said with a smile: "First master, you are really amazing. My defeat to you was not due to my tactical mistakes, but because I understand that sacrifice is wonderful!"
Haha, this guy is quite interesting!
After I win, I can rest until the next round of competition. Unfortunately, Ji Mo and the others were assigned to competition venues in different cities. The distance is too far and we cannot use the calling function. I wonder how their results are?
The profiteer made a fortune recently. With the upcoming competition, the players' demand for equipment is even more urgent. He sold some of the level 35 equipment he had accumulated for a good price, and I also got a lot of profit. However, this time, we bet 100,000 gold coins. The profiteer was naturally concerned about the result of the competition. He came all the way to cheer me up and help me with chores even though he knew I would have no problem, so that I could devote myself to the competition and perform at my best.
After about three hours, the first round of the competition ended, and the winners began the second round. There were about 100,000 players from Tianyuan City, and half of them were eliminated at once. Naturally, the time spent on the second round of the competition would be greatly shortened, and it should be completed in less than two hours.
In the second round, I faced a warrior. There was no suspense. Although he tried his best to avoid fighting with me, my attack power was too terrifying. Although I only hit him three times out of ten sword attacks, the last sword was a critical hit and killed the opponent again in seconds, and I advanced successfully.
The following rounds were very easy for me. I won every time by killing my opponent without having to give my best. Until the seventh round, it was already 5:00 p.m., and there were only about 200 players left who could hold on until this moment. The number of arenas exceeded the requirement for holding all the competitions at the same time. The system conducted a second draw and divided the players into three groups, with more than 70 people in each group. The final winner of each group would qualify as the player for the semi-finals tomorrow.
I was lucky in this round, I got a bye in the draw and went straight to the eighth round. I guess the players in my group were also relieved, because whoever played against me basically meant that his victory would end there.
In the eighth round, my opponent was a dark wizard from the demon clan, who was level 37 and on the leaderboard. He was the first strong opponent I encountered.
This mage had a good operating level, and he was very skilled in alternating between "Hell's Black Flame" and "Ice Roar". Even if I hid behind the beam of light, I would still be hit by this area attack magic. Moreover, magic defense was my weak point, so the HP loss was not small.
Unfortunately, the mage's agility was not as good as the archer's after all, and it seemed that his attribute distribution focused on spiritual power to enhance magic attack. As a result, I resisted his attacks and gradually forced him into a dead corner of the arena from which he was unable to escape. When the armor-piercing effect finally brought him within the attack range, the outcome of the battle was no longer in suspense, and he became the seventh loser to fall under my sword.
The next opponents were mostly not as strong as this mage. I did not use the Tiger Soul and Archer skills, but I was able to qualify smoothly and enter tomorrow's semi-finals!
After the competition that day, I returned to Shenghua City and met up with Ji Mo and the others. I learned that except for Han Jiang who unfortunately lost to a master on the leaderboard, Ji Mo, Wen Xin, and Ba Dao all qualified. Although Ji Mo's level was two levels lower than the master on the leaderboard, he had good equipment and rich PK experience, so he entered the semi-finals. Wen Xin was a blood bull warrior, but his weapon, the dark gold equipment "Splitting Wind" axe, made up for the lack of attack. He adopted a defensive counterattack tactic. Although he rarely killed his opponent, his HP consumption was always less, and he was judged by the referee to be the winner and advanced.
Ba Dao's level is only 34, but he is the most powerful one besides me! Sixteen rounds of competition, kill 12 people to advance!
He entered the game on the third day, but did not reach level 10 and change his job until a week before the Imperial Mausoleum mission. It turned out that he was ingenious and took advantage of a setting in the game.
When I first created the character, in order to obtain additional attribute weighting, I deliberately reduced the distribution of attributes such as constitution, accuracy, and agility, and increased strength madly. Moreover, I had a 5-point attribute bonus, so I increased the strength to 16 and obtained a 16% weighting, which benefited me a lot from the increase in attack power during the upgrade.
However, no matter what, I can't add any more strength, otherwise the other attributes will be too low and it will be impossible to upgrade in the early stage, and this character will be useless.
Liu Badao also got a lucky account, which awarded him two more attributes, so he also thought of using a side door to distribute weighted attributes, but logically, he could only add about 14 or 15 points to his strength, and he had to sacrifice his wisdom attribute, which was very disadvantageous for future skill upgrades. However, he found a trick. Although the characters in the first 10 levels could not form a team or trade, and had to rely on themselves for everything, so they could not use equipment to make up for their own weaknesses, Badao first created a character with normal attribute distribution, took on the novice task to obtain the novice suit, because a newcomer could only take one task, and after the public beta revision, the difficulty of this task was reduced, but only one piece of the full set of equipment could be obtained randomly. After completing the task, Badao committed suicide to rebuild the character's inheritance to obtain the suit. He committed suicide more than a dozen times before he got the whole set of equipment (many of which were obtained repeatedly), and then committed suicide again, and then created a character whose other attributes only added the minimum 1 point specified by the system, 2 points to be exact, and the strength reached an abnormal 20 points, and obtained a 32% strength weighting!
With the defense of the novice set and the extra 200 HP of the full set, Ba Dao was finally able to upgrade, and then use the points obtained from the upgrade to slowly make up for various deficiencies. Although it was still very difficult to kill monsters in the early stage, he was later leveled up with Lonely and the others. When his physique, accuracy, agility and other attributes were added back to normal levels, the advantage of strong attack power gained from the weighted strength was reflected. Therefore, he not only leveled up very quickly, but also often caused unexpected heavy blows to others in PK. His attack power of level 34 even reached the level when I was level 37, so it was reasonable for him to be promoted.
It is said that a group of players who have suddenly appeared recently and whose levels have risen very quickly have adopted this method. This is almost a bug in Fantasy. Compared with players with normal attribute distribution, the advantage is too great. Therefore, the company has decided to cancel the novice set task when the game is revised after the official operation, and change it to a very low probability of explosion among low-level monsters. In this way, unless you commit suicide hundreds of times, it is impossible to collect a set of equipment. But players who have already taken advantage of this loophole cannot do anything about it. After all, this is the fault of the game's own incomplete settings. Just treat it as a group of lucky accounts.
Since everyone had good results, they were naturally very happy. They had a meal at Taibai Restaurant. During the meal, they comforted Han Jiang with a few words. Then everyone went offline early to rest in preparation for the more intense battle tomorrow.
Early the next morning, everyone gathered at the competition venue. Today's competition was different from yesterday's because the preliminaries were held in major cities on four continents, and there were only 128 players in the semi-finals, so they were naturally concentrated in one city. The city selected this time was Shenghua City, which had the largest number of resident players. For this competition, the system specially sent a GM to teleport the qualified players from other continents directly to Shenghua City. Otherwise, no one currently had the ability to cross the continent within one day to participate in the competition.
The 128 players who can enter the semi-finals are all elite players who have emerged from 200 million players. The competition is bound to be intense, exciting and spectacular. The system has set up a large number of live broadcast points in various cities, using virtual holographic projection technology to broadcast live simultaneously, ensuring that every player interested in the competition can watch the game without having to go to the stadium.
However, when the projection beam descended, the first thing that was broadcast was a few advertisements, all of which were products of world-renowned large companies. The New Era Group is really good at making money...
After the draw, the players were divided into 64 pairs and divided into eight groups to compete simultaneously. The competition time was twice as long as the preliminaries, that is, 10 minutes. The final winner of each group will qualify and enter the final in the afternoon. As long as there is one loss, they will be eliminated. The knockout round is really cruel, and I can't be careless.
I was assigned to the fifth round of Group E, so I could just sit back and watch the performance of the players who had competed before me.
In the group I'm in, there's no one worthy of my attention except Ye Lingfeng, a level 38 swordsman who's in the top 10. Ye Lingfeng's appearance order is after me, so the one I'm most concerned about is the level 40 orc berserker who plays games to the point of being crazy and never logs off. He's the second best player on the list after me.
Because the rematch has attracted much attention from players, the system has published a table of player matchups, which lists basic information such as player level, race, and occupation. By searching the system menu, it is easy to find that the orc dude is called Lawless and is scheduled to play in the second round of Group C. Haha, this is a good opportunity for me to observe him!
Running to the Group C arena, the first round of the game has already begun. A magician and an archer are fighting fiercely. Magic missiles and arrows are flying back and forth in the air, which is dazzling. In the end, the archer is more skilled and shoots three consecutive wind-chasing arrows at an incredibly fast speed, making it impossible for the magician to dodge and he is shot through the heart.
The next one is the orc's turn to play, and his opponent is a very rare profession in the rematch circle: a Protoss battle monk!
Because the Protoss has a divine attribute bonus, players who choose this race usually choose the profession of Priest in order to better play the effects of auxiliary spells such as healing, blessing, and protection. On the contrary, female players who choose the Protoss, because they like their beautiful appearance, mostly choose Battle Angels (a female-only profession), but this profession can only fully demonstrate its power after being promoted to the Eight-Winged Archangel, so currently no Battle Angel can enter the semi-finals.
The corresponding male-exclusive profession, the combat monk, is a little stronger than the angel of the same level in the early stage, but the disadvantage of this profession is that he fights with bare hands and cannot be equipped with weapons. Although the boxing skills he practices are very strong, it is estimated that no player can practice the skills to the top level. This monk named Thunderbolt Storm must have something extraordinary to be able to make it to the semi-finals!
As soon as the two sides started fighting, it was Thunderbolt Storm who launched the attack first!
A combat monk cannot be equipped with weapons, but that does not mean he cannot attack from a distance. Thunderbolt Wind swings his hands and punches in succession. Each punch shoots out a fist-sized ball of light in the air. It is the "Aura Wave Fist"!
Light balls flew like raindrops, and Lawless was suppressed by this wave of attacks. He could not fight back for a while. He could only dodge left and right to avoid being hit by a few moves. However, Pili did not keep a distance between the two sides as imagined, and adopted the same tactics as the archer and magician. He took advantage of the orcs' low agility and continuously used long-range attacks to cause damage to the opponent. Instead, he rushed forward confidently, got close to Lawless, and launched the "Demon-Breaking Explosive Fist", instantly hitting the opponent with nine consecutive punches.
After all, combat monks are not a profession that specializes in long-range attacks. The "Aura Wave Fist" is just to make up for the weaknesses of having no weapons and insufficient attack range. In fact, its lethality is not great. The "Demon-Breaking Explosive Fist" is completely different. It is the strongest attack skill of this profession before level 60!
The orc was hit by nine punches in a row, but he didn't react at all, not even a single HP point was lost. But two seconds later, the full power of this move broke out, and the nine parts of his body that were hit by the punches exploded at the same time. The latent energy caused great damage to his body. If it weren't for the orc's high defense and long blood volume, and if it weren't for the high level of this lawless guy, he would have been killed instantly!
Thunderbolt Storm is indeed impressive. Did he allocate all his upgrade skill points to the Demon Breaking Fist to make it so powerful? However, his tactics are quite good. He first disturbs his opponent with Hadouken, and then uses the Demon Breaking Fist to launch a fatal blow. I believe that many of his opponents fell to this move before they could react.
However, Wuwutian was so powerful that he withstood this attack and immediately counterattacked. After a wild shout, he went berserk, and the lion-like spots on his face suddenly expanded, covering his entire face!
The huge axe he swung in his hand had a skull pattern painted all over the axe body, and the axe blade was shining with cold light. When it was swung, there was a faint sound of ghosts crying and wolves howling. It turned out to be the Holy Spirit equipment "Ghost Axe"!
Although the drop rate of Holy Spirit equipment in Fantasy is very low, and only super Bosses can drop it, and even I haven't killed one piece yet, but in the one month since the public beta was opened, the players in the four continents of Fantasy have killed tens of thousands of Bosses below level E. Nine Holy Spirit equipment have appeared on the item rankings, but the identities of the owners have not been made public, and these equipment have never appeared at the auction. I don't know whether Wufawutian got it himself or bought it with a lot of money, but with this treasure in hand, it can also explain his super fast leveling speed, not just because he stays online and plays the game for a long time.
As the Demonic Axe came out, Thunderbolt and Storm knew something was wrong, and his boxing style changed again, "Lightning Speed Fist"!
With this skill, the punch speed is so fast that it is difficult to distinguish with the naked eye. One can only see the blue lightning arcs drawn by the fist in the air. Pili aims at the joints of Lawless's right hand. His vision is extremely accurate, and every punch hits the flesh. Although the damage is not great, it makes the opponent's attack movement stagnate. In this one or two second gap, he flew backwards and avoided Lawless's fatal axe!
Looking at Pili Kuangfeng's ever-changing tactics, precise attacks and smooth movements, I suspect that he is a boxer or martial arts master in real life, otherwise it would be difficult for him to play the profession of combat monk to such a perfect effect!
However, in terms of strength, the orcs are still stronger. Lawless strode forward, and Thunderbolt Storm did not dare to confront him head-on and adopted a guerrilla fighting tactic. This was the right choice. In the previous round of attack, he scored a lot of points. If the game ended at this point, he would definitely be judged as the winner.
The problem is that the time limit for the rematch is 10 minutes, and Lawless still has enough time to turn the tide. After all, the combat monk is not as agile as the archer, and he is not qualified to be led around the garden. He will always find a chance to attack every once in a while, and as long as he hits once, it may be enough!
In this situation, it depends on the luck of both sides. Will Pili hold on to the end, or will Wu Tian be able to kill his opponent in time?
Apparently Pili's luck was not very good... Only five or six minutes later, he accidentally took a wrong step and was trapped between two obstruction light beams. Behind him was the edge of the ring, and he could not dodge left or right. Wutan had already rushed in front of him, with his ghost axe raised, making it impossible to avoid him!
Pili had no choice but to make a last attempt, and launched the "Holy Light Cross Fist". He swung his right fist from right to left and his left fist from top to bottom, and drew a cross with both fists in front of him. Suddenly, a huge white cross of holy light protected him. This was a defensive skill!
Lawless also activated the skill "Raging Slash". He chopped down with an axe, which hit the Cross of Holy Light. There was a muffled sound, and a ball of white light exploded between the two of them. The Cross of Holy Light was ultimately no match for the power of Raging Slash and Ghost Axe, and was chopped into pieces by the axe. Before Thunderbolt Gale could emit a second ray of holy light, Lawless took advantage of the situation and swept across, cutting Thunderbolt in the waist. Although he did not have time to use Raging Slash and could not kill Thunderbolt instantly, the powerful impact force knocked the opponent out and he fell outside the ring. According to the rules, this was a loss!
Well, Wufawutian has a good ability to seize opportunities. If he wants to kill his opponent with the last blow, Pili will have a great chance to escape from his side at the moment when he uses his skills to gather strength. This guy is worth paying attention to, he may be my opponent in the finals!
The game is over, and it’s time for me to go back to my stadium. If I’m late and get disqualified, I’ll be at a big loss!
Rushing back to the Group E arena, the fourth round of competition had already begun. It seemed that the first three games were decided quickly.
After a while, it was my turn!
I strode onto the stage and drew out Tiger Soul.
It’s not that I think the opponent in this match cannot be defeated without using Tiger Soul, but I’ve been furious since the moment I got the matchup list!
This ninja named Fuma Kojiro - JP, is fucking Japanese!
Angry! Since China and Japan fought a tentative war over the Diaoyu Islands in 2022, which both sides called a "maritime border conflict", neither side gained any advantage, and the matter was shelved. On the surface, the two governments talked about misunderstandings and Sino-Japanese friendship, but in fact, the hatred buried among the people was deeper. Everyone knew it tacitly and accumulated strength. One day, a real life-and-death war would break out!
In college, my classmates called me a radical nationalist. I never had any good feelings towards the Japanese and posted attacking Japan on various major websites and BBSs many times. Although it has been a hundred years since the Japanese invasion of China, whenever I see articles describing how the Japanese bastards ravaged our Chinese land, I can't help but feel furious and wish I had two nuclear bombs in my hands to destroy Japan.
Since there is no such opportunity in real life, what else can I say when I meet the Japanese in the game? I can't relieve the hatred in my heart unless I kill you to pieces!
The referee announced the start of the match. I held the Tiger Soul in my hand and exuded a murderous aura. There was a chorus of surprise and doubt from the audience. The topic of discussion was not about the outcome, but the magic weapon in my hand.
Maybe it's because Tiger Soul is not complete? Its name is not on the item ranking list, but just looking at its peculiar appearance, you can tell that this knife is definitely not an ordinary item, and it must be above the dark gold equipment, so many players don't understand why.
The Japanese player who was playing against me had a serious look on his face. The weapon in his hand was not simple either. It was the holy equipment "Kikuin Ichimonji". Otherwise, with his level of 36, it would be difficult for him to make it to the semi-finals. It was a pity that the equipment would not be dropped in the game. Otherwise, if I killed him and his weapon was dropped, he would not be able to cry.
I stepped forward slowly. With my overwhelming strength and magical weapon, I was confident that I could completely crush my opponent with a head-on attack!
Unexpectedly, the Japanese figure gradually faded, became transparent, and disappeared. Damn, is this invisibility?
Damn it, how cunning, bullying me because I’m a knight and don’t have identification skills?
I secretly used my gaze, but failed to see through the opponent's hiding place. I tried again, but it still didn't work because my skill level was a little low. It doesn't matter, I'll try again!
See, he has moved behind a beam of light to my left!
I remained calm, hmph, playing dirty, let's see who is more ruthless. Although the ninja's invisibility can move, the invisibility will be removed the moment he attacks the opponent. He must want to go around and attack me from behind, so I will use his own trick against him and make you lose without knowing why!
Sure enough, the little Japanese walked silently behind me. I pretended to look around and listen attentively, but in fact, my eyes never left his body.
The little Japanese made his move! His figure suddenly appeared from three meters behind me, and the Kikugakure Ichimonji slashed out diagonally, aiming at my right shoulder and slashing from the upper right to the lower left!
If I get hit by this attack, although the ninja's attack power is not very good, Kikugakure is a holy spirit equipment after all, so I will not feel good either. However, I have been on guard for a long time, how can I get hit easily? Because I have seen through the direction of the little Japanese's attack, with the sound of breaking air behind me, I immediately used my right foot as the axis, stepped across the right side with my left foot, exerted force on my waist, and turned my body to the right, bent my waist and leaned back, the little Japanese's knife missed, and passed by my nose, and at the same time, I chopped the tiger soul with my backhand, hitting the little Japanese's ribs!
The little Japanese suddenly let out an earth-shattering scream, flew backwards, blood gushing out of his right rib like a fountain. Haha, the wound was torn.
But do you really need to exaggerate like that? You can't even stand the pain of 10% simulation, and you still boast about your bullshit Bushido spirit (I later learned that because Tiger Soul has the function of absorbing the blood and flesh essence of human or monster, the damage it causes is much more painful than ordinary wounds. Even if it only simulates 10% of the feeling, it is still extremely uncomfortable)?
As the saying goes, hit the dog when it's down, this is the time! I'll catch up with him, and with just one more strike, this little Japanese will be dead!
When the little Japanese saw me chasing him, he got flustered and activated his invisibility skill again. Unfortunately, not to mention that my gaze could break his invisibility, the problem was that his wound was still spurting blood, which could not be hidden. At this time, I could only see streams of blood spurting out from the void. The situation was both weird and funny.
Hehe, I understand. That guy must have been seriously injured by my sword. He had to take Xiaohuan Dan and Life Water to save his life first, and then he had a chance to use Jinchuang Medicine. However, the system stipulates that the interval between using medicines should be at least one second. In addition, the human body's own reaction movements take time. Therefore, his bleeding could not be stopped within three or four seconds.
With such an obvious target right in front of me, why should I even consider it? I raised my knife and chopped it off at the "source". In order to make the little Japanese suffer more, I deliberately didn't use the thrust this time!
The little Japanese screamed in pain again. Just as I expected, he was not dead yet. Very good, let me give him a few more hits. It’s a pity for my Tiger Soul, because the first time it opened its sword, it drank the blood of beasts like you!
After two more slashes, Tiger Soul finally became a magic weapon. With all the additional attributes accumulated together, even though the attack was only calculated at 1/5, the lethality should not be underestimated. No matter how much the Japanese kept taking medicine to replenish his blood, he could not withstand it and was cut in half by me. His body was revealed. Fortunately, he was resurrected immediately after death on the ring, otherwise his two-piece body would have been really disgusting to look at.
I advanced successfully and slaughtered a Japanese pig. I felt very happy and my fighting spirit became stronger. Besides, since Tiger Soul had already appeared, there was no need to hold back. I gave my all in the second round. After just one encounter, I killed my opponent in seconds with a stunning blow!
This battle shocked the whole audience. You know, it's not easy to make it to the semi-finals. The difference in strength between them is very small. Which player doesn't have to fight hard to win? And I was able to kill him in one round. With this strength alone, I'm afraid I'm the undisputed number one player in Fantasy!
In the last round of the semi-finals, as I expected, Ye Lingfeng and I were in my group competing for the right to advance to the finals!
Ye Lingfeng is a human swordsman like Han Jiang, but his level has reached 38, and he can better display the swordsman's strengths of balanced offense and defense, swiftness and flexibility. However, it was his misfortune to meet me, otherwise if he was assigned to any other group, he would have had a chance to qualify.
When both sides came on the field, Ye Lingfeng was the first to attack. Although the long sword in his hand was not of the best quality, it was also a dark gold equipment, and it must have the additional attribute of increasing the attack speed. The sword came out like the wind, and three sword flowers formed, stabbing straight into my face!
I was shocked. This wasn't a skill, it was his own fencing technique. He must be a master of fencing in real life! This kind of trick didn't work for killing monsters in the game, but it could be used to confuse people in PK battles!
I can't tell which of his swords is real and which is fake, but... there's no need to do that! I won't dodge or evade, I'll just strike him in the face, aiming at his head and chopping it off. Anyway, no matter how many sword shadows you create, only one will actually pierce me in the end. Let's trade one move for another and see who suffers!
As expected, Ye Lingfeng was unwilling to fight me head-on. He put away his sword and retreated, changing his position. He rushed to my left side where I was unable to exert force like lightning, trying to attack me when I was off guard!
I switched the knife to my left hand and swung it back, but I was a step too slow and he stabbed my left arm with the sword, but the damage was not serious.
Ye Lingfeng moved extremely quickly. In the blink of an eye, he circled to my right side and swung his sword again. He resolutely refused to use skills that could increase attack power but required time to gather energy to launch a move. It seemed that he wanted to win by points!
It’s not that easy. I changed hands and swung the sword again. Although I still didn’t have time to hit the opponent and was hit by the sword again, the 30% chance of Tiger Soul to shoot out sword light was effective!
A golden blade light shot out, and Ye Lingfeng was caught off guard and took the blow head-on. This one blade alone caused more damage than if he had stabbed me ten times!
What was more serious than the direct damage was that the might of my magic weapon had greatly undermined his confidence, making it impossible for him to continue with the guerrilla tactics of defeating the strong with the weak that he had originally planned. For a moment he hesitated, not knowing whether to advance or retreat.
How could I miss such a good opportunity? I rushed forward while he was hesitating, and swung Tiger Soul continuously. Although Ye Lingfeng tried his best to dodge, he inevitably missed some. First, he was hit on the left shoulder by a knife, and this time it was Tiger Soul that directly injured him. The intense pain of his flesh and blood being corroded made him distracted, and he could not avoid my successive attacks. He was hit by two knives in a row and was killed by me on the spot!
Among all the eight groups, our group's semi-finals were the first to finish, and the referee announced: "Blood Sky won and became the first finalist of the first Fantasy Martial Arts Tournament!"
