Chapter 233 Advancement! Meteor Throw VS Bombardment of Five Stars
September 24th, Saturday.
The top 32 promotion matches of the World Championship will soon begin at the Imperial Capital Open Air Arena.
Lin Xiao is regarded as the favorite to win the championship and has attracted worldwide attention, and his schedule has been widely discussed.
The player who faced off against Lin Xiao in the top 32 promotion round was a seventh-level national warrior from the Kingdom of Glory named ‘Lute’.
He is a brown bearded man with thick brown hair, blue eyes, tall build, and wearing a knight's plate armor.
Root's supporters believe that his beard has a bit of the majesty of Zeus, the god of thunder, among the gods of Chaos.
His strength cannot be underestimated. He was once awarded the title of "Duke" in glory. The trump card in his hand is a spear of legendary quality, Brianak.
Brionak, a magical weapon that appeared in the Legend of Glory, was translated as "Thunder Spear" by Zhongzhou, taking the meaning of "blast through" in the original text.
According to legend, the thunder spear contains the source power that symbolizes light and the sun. No matter how far away the enemy is, it can release a beam of light like the sun, burning the target to death in an instant.
Lute's ace "Thunder Spear" is not shaped like an ordinary spear, but more like a harpoon with five pointed protrusions, similar to Poseidon's trident.
When Root throws the thunder spear and releases the finishing move.
The five pointed protrusions on the gun will release five blazing beams of light in the shape of a pentagram, blocking the enemy's retreat and unleashing a covering fire cannon attack.
This trump card is said to be the weapon of the god of light and sun in the glory myth.
Because the "Thunder Spear" has a long history, Root is regarded as one of the strong contenders for the top eight in the World Championship.
What's more, it is believed that Lute's strength is no longer inferior to that of Emperor Augustus. Even if he encounters the 'eternal spear' Gangnir, the thunder spear is still capable of fighting.
Root is a peaceful person and likes to brew cider at home, but he also shows his thunderous side during battle.
When he heard that his next opponent was Lin Xiaozhi, the popular ‘Martial Arts Star’ in Central Continent, a trace of solemnity flashed across his blue eyes.
"Against Mr. Lin Xiao..."
But soon, Root adjusted his mentality, stroking his big beard, his eyes twinkling.
"Go all out and fight without fail!"
Magic city, family home.
Lin Xiao learned about his next opponent through the schedule on the official website.
Although he is already an invincible sanctuary, Lin Xiao never underestimates his opponents tactically.
After analyzing Root's past battle videos, Lin Xiao pondered:
"Lute's trump card is the throwing spear..."
The Death-Giving Spear has just reached the seventh level, and you can use it to fight a battle.
The World Championship does not limit the number of cards, nor does it limit passive abilities such as ‘card master talent’ or ‘power of inheritance’, and your own source of power has an overwhelming advantage.
So it’s okay to let the second brother brush up his experience points.
Lin Xiao showed his death spear, wiped his fingers from the handle of the gun to the shiny head, nodded and said:
"It's time for the world to see your self-destruction style."
Give others death (×)
Give yourself death (√)
The competition will be held on Saturday night, and will be broadcast live by Source World and major media.
After Lin Xiao had lunch, he drove the ‘Zi Zhi’ to the Imperial Capital and took a tour of the Imperial Capital Guest House.
On the martial arts field, Xiang Yu was shirtless and did not release any energy. He only relied on his physical strength to fight against Qiongqi. Several blood marks were cut on his strong chest.
Qiongqi, on the other hand, shook his big head, which was dazed by the fist, and sighed softly.
If you agree to fight, you will be beaten, and if you don't agree, you will be beaten. It's too difficult for me.
"Oh, Lin Xiao!" Xiang Yu stopped the competition and greeted, "I was looking for you!"
"What's the matter with King Xiang?"
"Do you want to learn boxing?"
Lin Xiao was stunned, looked at Xiang Yu with a serious face, and confirmed: "Learning boxing?"
"Yes." Xiang Yu nodded and said: "According to my observation, there is a special kind of 'qi' in this world. This kind of 'qi' can help warriors exert greater power and perform stronger moves."
"The 'Qi' that King Xiang mentioned should be Yuan Li." Lin Xiao corrected.
"It's all the same!" Xiang Yu waved his hands irritably and said, "Your Qi... source power is very deep, but the method of using it is wrong. You don't look like a warrior, but more like a layman."
Having said this, Xiang Yu Tuqiong saw it and said: "Learn boxing from me and I will keep your strength greatly improved!"
Lin Xiao was thoughtful.
Most of his own fighting skills come from the card's own dueling skills, relying on his abundant power to crush his opponents with pure 'power'.
It is indeed a long way from the "skill" mentioned by Xiang Yu.
And learning the 'skill' to control source power will undoubtedly improve the efficiency of utilizing source power.
"Your foundation is very solid and you can get started quickly." Xiang Yu's eyes showed rare admiration, but there was also a trace of frustration in his eyes.
It's a pity that I don't have much time left.
How much this 'unparalleled' unique skill can be passed down depends on God's will.
Lin Xiao weighed the pros and cons, nodded and said, "Then King Lao Xiang will be the one."
"Okay, in the next few days, you will stay here and practice boxing with me." Xiang Yu said with a smile: "If you can be as powerful as I am, you will be considered qualified."
Lin Xiao coughed lightly and said: "The Overlord's divine martial arts are unmatched by anyone. It's good if I can learn a little bit about it."
Xiang Yu appreciated the compliment, laughed, and waved away Lin Xiao, saying that he wanted to think about how to teach students according to their aptitude, and asked Lin Xiao to come to the martial arts arena on time tomorrow.
Lin Xiao happened to be going to play a game. After expressing his gratitude, he rushed to the Imperial Capital Open Air Arena.
"Learn boxing from Overlord..."
Lin Xiao's heart moved slightly:
"If you can learn his finishing moves and use the power of rage, you can deal as much damage as the Meteor Sword with your bare hands."
…
Imperial City, open-air arena.
Searchlights illuminated the dusty night sky, and more than 70,000 people seated in the arena cheered.
The disaster did not dampen people's enthusiasm for competitive events. Because of Lin Xiao's performance, the number of viewers in the live broadcast room of this event hit a new high!
The white barrage has completely obscured the live broadcast room. Only the host's voice can be heard, and the special effects of 'card application' gifts are constantly flashing by.
"Urgent, urgent, urgent, the epee guy hasn't come out yet." The barrage began to flood the screen.
"Don't be anxious, don't be anxious, don't be anxious. The appearance ends in five minutes, so you have to be anxious."
"It's really not worth buying tickets for the Epee Man. It'll be over in ten minutes!"
"Is it to prevent us from staying up late to watch the game? Thank you, Epee Man!"
Suddenly, the live broadcast room was filled with overwhelming cheers from the audience, exciting background music sounded, and the commentator had already appeared.
"Gentlemen and ladies, welcome to the knockout round of the World Championship!"
The director's camera cuts between the faces of the audience cheering enthusiastically, holding banners and dancing flags.
Root's support team occupied a small square in the auditorium.
But this is the home court of Zhongzhou after all, with billboards, cheering sticks, cheers and shouts all available, and the enthusiasm in the open-air arena almost surges into the night sky.
"Now, let us invite the players from both sides to appear!
"
In the contestant tunnel, a tall young man in a trench coat walked out.
Lin Xiao's pretty and handsome face was reflected on the big screen.
He raised his eyes and noticed the camera, smiled and nodded, and the audience suddenly burst into cheers.
At the other end, Root, who had brown hair and a big beard, was wearing a knight's plate armor and walked slowly onto the stage with a stern face.
Lute stretched out his hand towards Lin Xiao almost solemnly and said:
"I hope you can teach me, Mr. Lin Xiao."
"It's not about giving me advice." Lin Xiao shook hands and said, "Just do your best and don't leave any regrets."
A sharp edge flashed in Root's eyes: "Perhaps, I will bring you regrets."
A card master holding a legendary trump card has to be somewhat proud in order to be recognized by the artifact.
Lin Xiao's lips raised slightly: "I'm looking forward to it."
The players from both sides walked to both sides of the field, and the commentator said passionately:
"Now, let the field card start beating!
"
The field card on the big screen continued to rotate, gradually slowing down, and finally settled on "Lake in the Forest".
The official card maker showed the field card, and the light particles spread on the green field, revealing a dense forest.
In the center of the forest, there is a lake as bright and clear as a gem, surrounded by mist. Card masters from both sides stand on both sides of the lake.
"There is a lake in the forest, and there is a small island in the middle of the lake, which will become a battleground between the two sides." The commentator said: "The two sides can also decide the outcome through air combat, water combat, etc. Let us wait and see what the strategy is!"
A professional director will adjust the viewing angle on the big screen to allow the audience to get more information. Audiences in the source world can visit the scene almost 360° through the holographic perspective.
The duel officially began, Lute's eyes were like a torch, the fire in his hand released a ball of golden flame, and he slowly held a bright golden spear.
The Divine Spear of Light and Sun, Level 7, Thunder Penetrating Spear!
On the other side, the audience was surprised to find that Lin Xiao did not appear in his iconic black armor.
"The Indestructible King of the Great Village"
Instead, a ball of red fire emerged from the collar of the black windbreaker. The fire flew to one side, forming a cloak of flames.
Possession·Blood Red Cloak.
In Lin Xiao's hand, he held a bright red spear filled with black evil aura, pointing at Lute from a distance.
There was an uproar on the field, and the commentator was shocked and said:
"Contestant Lin Xiao also manifested a spear! Is this a battle of attrition, or is he going to compete with Root with a spear!?"
This is the first time that the Death-Bringing Spear appears in the World Championship, which obviously creates a gap for the audience who are looking forward to the Great Sword.
The audience couldn't help but feel that it was a bit exaggerated to fight the owner of the 'Thunder Spear' with a spear.
Spear? Root's eyes flashed.
As a card master who is good at using spears, Root has a deeper understanding of how to restrain spears.
If you want to defeat me with a spear, you would be looking down on me!
The thunder gun has five protrusions, which can release a beam of light like the sun's rays, and its strike range is several times farther than that of an ordinary spear.
Brilliant particles continued to gather at the tip of the gun. Lute held the gun and pointed it at Lin Xiao, and a hot and shining beam suddenly shot out!
Combat Technique·Light Killing Ray!
The beam of light streaked over the lake, causing the water surface to boil.
The range of the death-giving spear is indeed not as good as that of the thunder-penetrating spear.
But after liberating the form and becoming a revolver, it can surpass the former!
Black flames surged on the death-giving gun, transforming into a revolver. Lin Xiao raised his hand and fired large-caliber source bullets.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The bullet collided with the light ray, creating a shock wave that caused the lake to surge.
Root was speechless. Can a revolver be considered a gun?
However, his hole suddenly shrank, and a spear bathed in black flames locked onto him and was thrown at him with unparalleled speed!
So quickly, it actually switched back to the form of a spear!
According to legend, the thunder spear will emit roars and flashes of light, automatically break away from the master's hands and fly towards the enemy's formation, killing as much as you want without getting tired.
Lute's eyes flashed, and he swept across the thunder spear. A golden light wheel appeared in front of him, and it met the flying death spear, and exploded!
Mysterious meaning: The roar of light.
A dazzling white light burst out from the center of the explosion, illuminating the arena at night.
Root felt a sense of crisis. He looked up and saw hundreds of sharp bloody edges flying out from the center of the explosion!
Mysterious meaning: Kill with Thousand Thorns!
The blood edges are extremely sharp, and each fragment has a blood groove, which is very similar to the thorny magic spear 'Gabolga' in the glory myth.
Root did not dare to be careless and activated the liberated form of the thunder spear, the neutron spear.
The thunder gun is bathed in scorching flames, and its size increases dramatically. With the five protrusions at the front, it can provide effective defense.
Root continued to defend in the midst of the falling bloody edges like a gust of wind, and the audience was almost dumbfounded.
Lin Xiao didn't even use a trump card, but he easily suppressed Lute, who was good at wielding a spear!
But Lin Xiao knew that Thousand Thorns Kill did not cause any effective damage to Lute at all.
After all, this is a divine spear that symbolizes light and the sun. If you want to defeat the thunder spear head-on, you must find an opportunity to use the finishing move!
Lin Xiao re-condensed the death-giving spear in his hand, leaving Lute with a fleeting moment.
At the same moment, Root's eyes were stern.
Good opportunity!
Root's entire right arm burned with golden flames, like an Olympic athlete throwing a javelin. He summoned all his strength, threw the thunder spear, and shouted:
"Ruger Mac Essoln, the god of light and sun, shines in all directions and strikes the five stars!"
What Root recited was the true name of the original owner of the Thunder Spear.
He obtained inheritance from the God of Light, Luger, and relied on the power of light to strengthen himself.
The audience looked up and saw the thunder spear cutting through a cluster of golden light, like fireworks rising into the night sky, bursting into bright light in an instant.
The commentator was shocked: "The sun... It is now 8:10 in the evening. Player Root's finishing move summoned a sun!"
That is not the real sun, but the thunder spear turning itself into a light source.
The sky above the open-air arena looks like day, with a circular array of five-pointed stars emerging from the center of the thunder spear.
Like five thunders striking a cauldron, five blazing sunlight beams that annihilated the breath suddenly fell!
The light above his head shone brightly, Lin Xiao lowered his head and said to the death-giving spear:
"You are responsible for destroying the thunder spear in the center of the five-pointed star. Is that okay?"
The body of the Death-Giving Spear shone brightly, as if in response.
Lin Xiao smiled slightly and his eyes suddenly condensed.
A bright golden light emerged from the gun body, as if it was concentrating all its power on the next blow, ready to go!
Suddenly, Lin Xiao threw a spear!
Like a meteor flying up against the sky, the golden spear burst straight through the five beams of light, like a meteor piercing the night sky.
The finishing move: Meteor Throw!
In the viewing box, Augustus put his chin on his hands and a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.
I actually sensed Gangnir's aura from Lin Xiao's spear!
The death-granting spear hit the thunder-penetrating spear in the center of the five-pointed star array with its powerful edge.
With a 'clang' sound, a dazzling spark burst out, and then a bright halo spread out around!
Click!
In mid-air, there was a mournful cry of a spear.
Root looked confident.
"If you collide with the Thunder Gun, you will naturally end up in pieces..."
Root was thinking in his mind, looking at the thunder spear falling from mid-air, and was stunned for a moment.
His eyes turned to disbelief, and finally revealed a trace of horror.
There was a clang.
The thunder spear fell to the ground and gradually dispersed into particles of light.
Root:???
It wasn’t the other side that was smashed to pieces, it was my thunder spear?!
The beam of light that struck the five stars exploded around Lin Xiao, blasting away a vast amount of smoke and dust, leaving the place completely silent.
The dust and smoke dissipated, and Lin Xiao was found safe and sound, holding the death gun in his hand and looking at Lute with a look of despair on his face.
Lute's eyes were complicated. He looked at the spear in Lin Xiao's hand with a strange expression. After all, he didn't say anything and sighed:
"I lost."
As a divine weapon, the thunder spear can be shattered by that kind of gun.
It’s not scientific…but the facts are right in front of you!
In the brief silence, the scene suddenly erupted into enthusiastic sounds!
"Defeat Root's player in hand-to-hand combat!"
The commentator's voice sounded at the right time: "Let us congratulate player Lin Xiao for advancing to the top 32!"
