Volume 8: Future · Gap 4 · Competitive Games Chapter 15: Sparring
"This... that kid from the Bailin Society is in trouble!" After the last ball was hit, some spectators frowned and thought. This method of wiping the edge makes the ball covered with silk threads, and then when it falls on the table, the power of the silk threads is used to prevent it from bouncing up.
This is almost cheating power.
“It’s simply invincible!”
"You are worthy of being from our Haixi District. Come on, Gain!"
"Just like that , kill the arrogant guy on the opposite side!"
The sound of cheering was quite loud.
However, there were also people who looked at all this and smiled with disdain.
"How naive! That guy is not so easy to deal with!" The person who made such a comment was none other than our five-star killer, Bai Wu, who was missing one.
The discussions and changes in the audience did not affect what was happening on the ping-pong table.
As we all know, when commentators, spectators, passers-by, etc. are commenting on a game or a fight, there is a time-stop effect.
Therefore, all the above discussions have not affected Gain's serve, which has not yet landed.
Facing this ball, Lu Bai swung his racket before the ball fell.
"Is Lu Bai stupid? He could have caught the ball by swinging his racket before it fell, but it's against the rules."
"Have you really given up? You're just thinking about hitting the ball back and you don't have any interest in the game anymore."
There was a lot of discussion, but after Lu Bai swung the racket for the first time, he pulled back with his backhand.
At this moment, the ball just landed on the table, then bounced up instantly and was hit back by Lu Bai with a backhand.
The bone lines above all disintegrated at this moment, and the black ball flew past Gain's cheek, and the strong wind it brought messed up his hair.
"Impossible!" Gain's mentality was a little broken.
On the other side, the referee robot gave its own answer, which is entirely possible: "The score is valid, 2:1!"
"This is! Ability interference. That Gain is being too smart for his own good!" Someone immediately gave the answer.
"Lu Bai's first swing interfered with the target ball, but the object of interference was not the ball, but the bone line on the ball."
"The power is released through the racket, which interferes with the bone line in advance, allowing it to bounce."
"Isn't this against the rules? I remember the rules of the game say you can't interfere with the ball before it bounces!"
"Who interfered with the ball?"
"If the ball is injected with energy, causing it to generate bone lines, etc., then this is naturally a violation."
" But the opponent used a trick to cover the ball with the bone lines by rubbing the ball against the edge. So what the opponent interfered with was not the ball, but only the bone lines."
"Since the bone line was not judged as a violation, then this behavior is naturally not a violation. This is why I said that Gain was being too smart!"
I have to say that the audience is very discerning. After all, there are strength limits, and those who are not strong enough may be affected by the competition.
This is actually the way Lu Bai dealt with the opponent's cage bone ball. He relied on the ability of the thorns in the flesh to interfere with the bone line and give it a certain elasticity.
Just like that, the ball was hit back easily.
All we can say is that if the other party is skirting the line, then respond in an even more skirting way.
The existence of rules is to limit the occurrence of various problems and to have ways to deal with them when they arise.
And when you become complacent and think you have broken the rules, others will naturally deal with you in a way that is not in line with the rules.
To use the underworld saying, sooner or later you will pay for what you have done.
"Gain, can you do this?" Torres on the other side shouted angrily.
Regardless of whether Torres is stupid or bad, at least he won a game, so he has the right to say this.
“Very good!”
At this moment, Gain no longer dared to underestimate Lu Bai. If he continued to underestimate him, he might lose.
This is something he absolutely cannot accept.
A large amount of bone threads overflowed from his body and wrapped around him.
The whole person looked like a hideous skeleton.
In this competition, the fighting ability can only be released to the ping-pong ball using the racket as a medium.
However, there are a few abilities that can be used directly, which are purely to enhance one's own abilities.
For example, Gain's current skeleton form.
The bone string was wrapped around the racket, tightly gripping it as if it were the joystick of a mecha.
"For the glory of Feitian!" Gain took the ball. At this moment, he didn't want to play any tricks anymore. He knocked Lu Bai down with pure strength!
The ping pong ball changes, this time transforming into a bone ball from the inside.
It’s just that some people cannot be defeated just because your momentum becomes high.
Lu Bai is such a person.
"Are we going to compete with each other in hard power?" Lu Bai held the racket and hit it hard, breaking the bone shell, revealing the ball that was shining with demonic light, and then he hit it back.
"The second stage of ball skills: Devil Ball!"
It is still just a black ball on the outside, but the level of power contained within has reached a new level.
The changing trajectory of the entire ball also becomes magical.
It was as if at this moment, the ball truly became a demon with its own desires.
The idea of this demon is that he wants to continue to exist and does not want to be destroyed by Gain.
"Got it!" Although Gain did not have the bonus of an external mecha, he still had a 26% resonance rate.
"Go back!"
When Gain gets serious, he is still very capable.
Successfully caught the Demonic Ball and hit it back.
But even though the hit was successful, Gain's heart continued to sink.
He could probably estimate that he had not completely eliminated the demonic power on the ball.
In other words, Lu Bai has the advantage in terms of occupying the ball.
His shots will become more powerful and harder to return.
"The opponent's strength far exceeds my own resonance rate, and the nature of his strength is also very special."
"This is exactly the opposite of me." Gain thought, he just has a higher resonance rate, but his real strength is basically brought by the resonance rate.
The other strength is external armor, which is purely external force, but is not conducive to the resonance rate.
It was precisely because of this contradiction that he was restrained by Lu Bai.
Gradually, I came to the conclusion that if I faced it head-on, I would not be able to win!
"The score is valid, 8:2!"
The voice of the referee robot woke Gain up, and before he knew it, he had lost eight points.
Before that, he just managed to catch Lu Bai's lack of strength and successfully hit back a ball.
The gazes of his companions gathered together and fell on him like a wave of pressure.
"It seems that we have no choice but to fight hard. " A crack opened up behind Gain, and a huge mecha emerged.
The mecha is mainly made of bones mixed with metals such as alloys, and you can even see a lot of flesh-like things attached to it, which is somewhat similar to Lu Bai's filthy flesh.
Obviously this mecha has certain biological characteristics.
The huge mecha stood behind Gain, and as Gain raised his hand, the mecha also raised its huge arm.
At the same time, a large amount of light burst out from the mecha, completing a connection with Gain.
"In that case, don't die!"
"God, go into rampage mode!" Gain ordered.
Following this command, the light emitted by the mecha, which was originally blue-white, now turned into blood red.
Mecha pilots are actually very similar to travelers.
The resonance rate is also important. The higher the resonance rate, the more the characteristics of the mecha can be brought into play.
In essence, everyone uses their own understanding to control the mecha or modules and build an efficient cognitive channel.
But the mecha also has something special, which is the runaway mode developed by Gain.
It is no longer based on its own cognitive control, but instead allows the mecha to operate automatically, relying on its biological properties to unleash all of its own capabilities, and then infect itself in turn.
In a short period of time, the resonance rate between oneself and the mecha is increased to a level beyond the limit.
In the past, this move was used to allow the mecha to burst out with greater power.
But this move is to allow the mecha to strengthen itself in reverse, so that the ball it hits becomes more powerful.
This is similar to Torres swallowing his own bird.
They are all methods of using external things to forcibly fill one's inner self.
The difference is that Gain's method is a little more sophisticated. Although there will be side effects, these side effects are not fatal. It is just a loss of induction with the module for a period of time, which may lead to differences in one's own cognition and a decline in the resonance rate.
Going backwards is much better than having the road interrupted.
"Well, I'm going to win this game!" Gain, his body burning with blood-red flames, swung his racket and completed his serve.
This time, his serve was much more powerful.
Lu Bai swung his racket and kept intercepting, and as Gain's strength was replenished, his advantage in resonance rate was successfully brought into play.
After Lu Bai and his opponent exchanged a few balls, he gradually lost control of the power in the ball, and the ball he hit did not pass the net.
"The score is valid, 8:3!"
"The score is valid, 8:4!"
…
"The score is valid, 9:10!"
After a while, Gain overtook the opponent.
Although Lu Bai used some techniques in the process, he only scored one point and was unable to contend with Gain's current strength.
"Just lose to me!" Gain took the ball. Now it was the 20th ball and he was still serving.
It was with this last serve that he defeated Lu Bai and won the game.
It has to be said that Lu Bai's strength is very resilient. Even though he was suppressed like this, he still couldn't gain control of the ball.
"It's a pity that you met me!"
Gain felt that there was some kind of breakthrough in his own condition. As expected, competitive games could make it easier for people to understand their own strength and gain resonance.
"Maybe I can even resist the side effects of rampage mode and improve myself!"
"Thank you so much!" A voice sounded, as if expressing Gain's thoughts, but the person who said this was Lu Bai opposite him.
"You are a qualified sparring partner!" The racket was swung, and the black shining ball flew back to Gain's table, and then flew into the distance.
"The score is valid, 10:10! Entering overtime!"
