In autumn, there is still some lingering heat in the weather.
As the World Series enters the knockout rounds, the enthusiasm of the audience has only increased.
There are a hundred card masters around the world who have successfully advanced from the auditions.
The source power of these card masters is generally distributed between the sixth and seventh levels, and the cards they use will not exceed this range.
The strongest people who are at the top of the world are none other than the "unparalleled national warriors" in each country.
For example, Jiang Shang, the Heavenly Master of Central Continent, Augustus, the Great Emperor of the North, Charlie, King of Glory, Amaterasu Ukikaku...
As the pinnacle of the seventh level, they are the world's strongest players who are expected to hit the Holy Realm. They have the seed player quota in the World Series and can directly advance to the top 16.
The other top 100 players will have to determine their promotion spots through mechanisms such as 1-on-1 knockout rounds and resurrection rounds, and will eventually join forces with the 'National Warriors' in the top 16.
Therefore, the competition for promotion places outside the National Warriors is quite fierce.
But this also ensures that the strongest players at the seventh level will not appear at the beginning, giving every player a theoretical chance to qualify.
but.
The seventh-level pinnacle will not participate in the knockout round, but it does not mean that the eighth-level will not participate!
For example, someone named Lin and the Overlord of Western Chu.
Lin Xiao and Xiang Yu elaborated on the idea of "Xiang Yu participating in the World Series".
In this way, it can not only satisfy the overlord's wish, but also prevent the overlord from running around and causing unnecessary problems. It kills two birds with one stone.
"Can you compete with the strongest men in the world?"
Xiang Yu's eyes flashed with brilliance, he held his majestic arms, nodded majestically, and said:
"So good!"
"I still hope that the king can be merciful." Lin Xiao said, "Just stop it and don't hurt your life."
"It's just a competition, I naturally know it!"
Xiang Yu's tone was full of impatience, his terrifying double eyes suddenly stared at Lin Xiao, and he said with a wide smile:
"Lin Xiao, you should also participate, right?"
Lin Xiao was slightly startled and nodded.
"good!"
Xiang Yu was so full of energy that he was obviously dissatisfied with the result of the previous fight, but was too embarrassed to say it clearly, so he wanted to take this opportunity to challenge Lin Xiao again:
"When we meet on the field, you and I will compete again!"
Lin Xiao smiled and said: "The overlord's divine power must be as powerful as breaking a bamboo."
"Of course." Xiang Yu waved his hand, "When will the competition be held?"
"Tomorrow there will be a knockout match in the Imperial Capital, and Han Li will take the king to the venue."
"Yeah." Xiang Yu crossed his arms, his eyes flashed slightly, and hesitantly said: "Lin Xiao..."
"I would like to go back to Chu to take a look first."
The allusion that the overlord Wu Jiang committed suicide and had no face to meet his elders in Jiangdong has made many future generations sigh with regret.
In this new world where no one recognizes him, Xiang Yu feels nostalgic and wants to see his hometown.
Lin Xiao had nothing to do and said, "I'll go with you."
The S-class shuttle car 'Son of the Wind' can cross the Central Continent in one day, and it doesn't take long to go from the Imperial Capital to the Chu Land.
Su Shi has a poem that says: "The land of Chu is boundless, boundless and vast." The land of Chu is located in the Yangtze River Basin and has a vast territory.
Looking down from a high altitude, the clouds at the bottom of the shuttle car are as dark as ink, as if a heavy rain is brewing.
The car body vibrated through the clouds, and one could see heavy rain pouring outside the car window, falling towards the turbulent Yangtze River.
Noticing the overlord's solemn expression, Lin Xiao said:
"Recently, there have been heavy rains in the Chu region, and the water level of the Yangtze River has risen significantly. It is less like a natural disaster and more like the work of a monster..."
Xiang Yu clenched his iron fist and said, "Is it related to Chi You?"
"It's not clear yet." Lin Xiao paused and said, "Do you still want to go down and take a look?"
"No need, go back." Xiang Yu said in a low voice, "Lin Xiao... the monsters and ghosts in Chu must be left to me to destroy!"
Lin Xiao's heart moved, thinking that there was another powerful thug, and said: "I understand!"
*
He went back home and sent the Overlord to the guest house in the imperial capital.
Lin Xiao is staying in the hotel in the Imperial Capital, preparing to participate in the top 100 knockout round of tomorrow's World Championship with Overlord.
After winning this round, you will advance to the top sixty-four worldwide.
For Lin Xiao, promotion is naturally stress-free.
I just feel a little sorry for Xiang Yu's opponent.
But when playing a game, the most important thing is to bring a smile to your opponent.
The opponent refuses to laugh and surrender, so he has no choice but to be ruthless...
Early the next morning, Lin Xiao was ready to go to the "World Series Arena" in the imperial capital.
Judging from the information on the official website, Lin Xiao’s opponent in the top 64 promotion match is named ‘Erieu’.
She is a burly woman with facial tattoos, who is said to come from an ancient nation with an ancient maritime civilization.
Card masters who have the talent of "affinity with marine creatures" mostly use water-based spiritual cards.
Because there is no limit on the number of cards in the World Series, Elie will release sharks, swordfish, killer crabs and other aquatic creatures to attack the enemy card master.
Her total source power is only level six, but because she is particularly good at using decks related to "marine life", she once defeated a seventh-level national warrior who was good at using the fire system in an audition.
Audiences from all over the world speak highly of Elie, thinking that she is one of the few card masters with level 7 strength among the level 6 players.
As long as she can draw the ocean, ice ocean, river and other field cards that are beneficial to Elie, her explosive strength cannot be underestimated.
But when the draw results were announced, the audience broke out in a cold sweat for Elie.
The opponent she matched turned out to be Lin Xiao, an epee swordsman who had few opponents in the seventh level!
Due to Lin Xiao's competition, the topic was hot, and there was a heated discussion on the forum.
"I feel sorry for the foreign players who bumped into the big devil Lin Xiao at the beginning!"
"If you don't understand, just ask, doesn't the epee swordsman have the strength of a 'unparalleled national warrior'? Why do you have to fight all the way up from the knockout stage?"
"High EQ: running in with the new card. Low EQ: frying the fish pond is so happy!"
What caught everyone's attention was a physical card master from Buddhism.
This card master's name is 'Jie Huan', he has a seventh-level level, and his trump card is the legendary level 'Unmoving King Kong'.
It is said that after Jie Wang unfolds his possessed form, even the fire of purgatory will not waver him at all.
Even the Asuras in Buddhism who are good at killing can't break the defense of the 'Immovable Vajra'.
Therefore, Jiewang is regarded as a strong contender for the top 16 spot in the World Championship.
The one who matched up with Jie Lu was a card master named ‘Xiang Ji’ who had never appeared in the world competition.
Netizens couldn’t help but comment:
"What is the origin of this certificate?"
"It actually has the same name as the Overlord of Western Chu."
"You must have come in because of your connections. You don't want to look at it! How can you get away with it?"
Lin Xiao browsed these posts and thought to himself, it's a good thing Xiang Yu hasn't learned how to surf the Internet yet.
Otherwise, due to the overlord's narrow-mindedness, he would have to follow the network cable and kill the person who offended him.
"Xiang Yu's game is behind me..."
Lin Xiao rubbed his chin and said, "Let's go watch him after my game is over."

"Welcome to the top 64 promotion match of the World Series!"
The venue was filled with shouts and excitement, and the commentary was filled with passion. The Seven Stars of Zhongzhou overlooked the venue from the VIP box.
Mo Yao was dressed elegantly and had a look of helplessness on her beautiful face:
"Obviously it is the strongest eighth-level sanctuary in the world, and it has fought all the way from the auditions."
"Perhaps..." Lu Lingqiu looked seriously, "Your Excellency Lin Xiao, don't you want to use your connections to get through the back door?"
"We'll wait until he advances to the top sixteen before announcing his appointment as the 'Martial Arts Star'."
Han Li pushed up his glasses and said: "Being among the top 16 in the World Championships and serving as a 'Martial Arts Star' is enough to convince the public."
As everyone nodded, the commentator completed the introduction of both parties and randomly selected venue cards, and said loudly:
"The terrain here is called the Ice Age. Under the thick ice, there are raging undercurrents."
"How will the two card masters respond? Now, let's invite the players from both sides to appear!"
The audience cheered like a tide, and most of them were fans of the epee man.
"Lin Xiao is the first player to appear. He is low-key, but his fighting style is high-profile." The commentator said: "The epee player's always domineering fighting style is enough to set off a craze!"
"Looking at player Elie again, she comes from a mysterious and ancient ocean nation, and her blood has inherited the talent from the ocean. Whether the glacier venue will be the key to her victory!"
"Please wait and see - the competition has begun!!"
Elie had a tattoo on his face and a serious expression. He condensed a purple card between his fingers, poured his power into it, and shouted:
"Come on, four-legged sea dragon!!"
Boom!
The huge object fell to the ice, stirring up white mist. The audience looked in amazement, and the commentator's voice was excited:
"Dragon! Player Elie actually summoned a sea dragon! Although it is not a real dragon, the dragon blood of the sea dragon is enough to help it become a powerful epic creature!"
The four-legged sea dragon is covered with a carapace, with rugged sharp blades protruding from the carapace, extending its snake-like neck, and possessing powerful mandibles. The four-legged sea dragon is like a fin, which can both glide on the ice and swim quickly in the water.
.
No matter how weak a creature is, it will become extremely powerful if it has dragon blood.
Elie is only a sixth-level card master and has no right to control this four-legged sea dragon. But she comes from the ocean nation, and her talent as a card master helped her gain the recognition of this four-legged sea dragon!
Originally wanting to use it as a trump card... Elie gritted his teeth... But against the heavy swordsman, he could only do his best!
"Contestant Lin Xiao... uh... sent out a seal. He sent out a seal!" The commentator said loudly: "Yes, it's a seal, fighting against a four-legged sea dragon!"
The snow-white Dafu lay on the white ice, squinting his eyes and seeming to blend in with the color of the environment.
Boom!!
The four-legged sea dragon crushed the ice and crashed in. Elie yelled: "Combat skill: Dragon Tail Swing!"
The tail flick set off terrifying wind pressure, causing the ice under Dafu's body to break. Suddenly, Dafu's leopard jumped into the air, making the audience gasp in amazement!
"I'm going to jump so high?!"
"The seal is jumping in the face!!"
The falling Dafu was like the weight of a mountain, hitting the four-legged sea dragon's carapace hard, creating cracks with a 'click' sound, causing the four-legged sea dragon to let out a wail.
Elie's eyes changed, and he rushed into the formation quickly. A sharp knife with a cold light appeared in his hand, and while killing Lin Xiao, he shouted:
"Mysterious meaning: Crazy discharge!"
"The four-legged sea dragon's carapace has the ability to store and discharge electricity!" The narrator shouted: "So, it is a well-deserved overlord in the ocean!"
“However, I still want to remind everyone that electric fish is against the law!”
A large black revolver appeared in Lin Xiao's hand, aiming at Elie. Her eyes changed, her charge stopped, and she said calmly:
"Dafu, strike the leopard's belly."
"Ooo!!"
Dafu resisted the electric current and slapped his abdomen with two chubby little hands.
In an instant, the four-legged sea dragon's eyes changed, and he was keenly aware of the changes in the air flow.
Fear of the unknown welled up deep in his heart, and the four-legged sea dragon turned around and fled towards Erie, but it was too late!
Click!
The ice beneath the feet of the four-legged sea dragon cracked, and its huge body fell into the glacier, wailing.
Dafu's "strike on the leopard's belly" caused the glacier to shake and set off a huge tsunami in the glacier.
A huge wave broke out of the ice cave, destroyed the ice of the entire site, and swallowed Dafu together with the four-legged sea dragon.
The audience looked confused.
What's going on.
A seal can create a tsunami by patting its belly?!
Is this reasonable?
The roaring waves drowned the howling of the four-legged sea dragon. Dafu climbed onto a piece of ice, shook his hair, and showed a simple smile.
"Ooooo!"
Good luck, have fish tonight!
Elie's face was ashen and his lips were trembling.
A four-legged sea dragon will be defeated by a mere seal...
She never thought that it was not the epee man who defeated her faith, but a seal!
Elie raised his hands tremblingly: "I will admit defeat!"
"The winner has been decided!" the commentator shouted loudly: "The winner is Lin Xiao!!"
After successfully advancing to the top 64 of the World Series, Lin Xiao took back Dafu's card and left the field amid cheers.
"Occasionally fry the fish pond." Lin Xiao thought to herself: "It's good to cultivate your sentiments!"
Another one.
The 'Overlord' Xiang Ji fights against the 'Unmoved Vajra' to avoid delusion.
The audience for this game was relatively small. After all, everyone didn't know much about Xiang Ji, who made his debut.
So what if you have the same name? Could you really be the overlord of Western Chu?
The game officially begins.
He wears Buddhist beads around his neck, his body is surrounded by the golden light possessed by the 'Adamantine Vajra', his face is kind, and he says:
"Donor, I see that you are riddled with anger and have deep karma, so why don't you let go of your obsession and rely on my Buddha——"
boom!!!
The audience's eyes widened in disbelief, and the commentator was also stunned.
I saw Xiang Ji slowly retracting his fist and blowing away the smoke lingering around his fist.
In front of him, his fists plowed a large pit several feet deep. Jie Wang was lying at the end of the pit, his legs twitching.
Smoke and dust filled the air, and Jie Wang struggled to get up. He glanced at Overlord with difficulty, smiled bitterly, clasped his hands together, tilted his head and passed out.
Xiang Ji curled his lips and muttered, "I really can't resist being beaten."
The audience finally came to their senses and took a deep breath.
"What the hell!"
"Seconds?!"
"The Immovable King Kong was knocked unconscious by a punch from Damn!"
Less than one round after the start, the much-anticipated ‘Adamantine Vajra’ was killed with one punch.
The commentator swallowed his saliva and said loudly: "The winner is Xiang Ji!!"
The dead silence was broken, and the audience gave enthusiastic applause and shouted for the strong.
Xiang Ji looked around in all directions, grinning widely, enjoying the attention of all the people gathered on him.
Lin Xiao...this place you recommended to me is very good!
*
Lin Xiao and Xiang Yu both advanced to the top 64.
On the forum, the performance of Lin Xiao and Xiang Yu once again aroused heated discussion.
Especially Xiang Yu.
The deed of killing the Immovable King Kong with one punch is too amazing.
So much so that some people on the Internet doubt whether Xiang Ji is really the reincarnation of the Overlord!
But Lin Xiao had no time to chat with Shui Qun.
Because there were developments related to monsters coming from Han Li.
It corresponds exactly to the strange heavy rain that Xiang Yu and I saw in Chu.
"The Yellow River and Yangtze River basins are experiencing sudden floods."
Han Li's voice was quite serious:
"The source has been identified, it is Chi You's Feng Bo and Rain Master."
"If they are just Feng Boyu Master, then that's fine." Han Li frowned and said, "It's just that their movements are extremely strange, moving between the Yellow River and the Yangtze River, as if someone is behind the scenes to direct and control..."
"Lord Wu Quxing, I would like to implore you to make this trip for the Central Continent Alliance..." Han Li said his intention: "Solve this time's floods in the Yellow River and Yangtze River!"
"Leave it to me." Lin Xiao agreed.
The way to control the water is very simple...just kill Feng Boyu Master!
