Time goes back a little bit, let's look at zero o'clock, the beginning of another battle...
[Loading completed]
[Peak Contest S3, the first round]
[Venue: Sea of Dirac (pseudo)]
When the system voice rang in the ears, the two teams [Order] and [Gods], a total of fourteen players, were all sent to the script world.
This is a dark field, boundless and lifeless, like a desert composed of particles; here there is no obvious boundary between "sky" and "earth", and it is impossible to tell where the light source is... However, no matter what Is it the clarity of vision, or the visual sense of space and distance... This place is no different from the outside world.
[The game will start in 30 seconds]
In a dignified and chilling atmosphere, candidates for the "pioneer battle" of both sides have already appeared on the battlefield.
The first player sent by [Order] is [Drunk Lying Disappointed].
In terms of one-on-one strength, in the "Drunk Life, Dreams and Death", Zui Wo is comparable to Meng Jingchan, slightly better than the other two; but in terms of personality... Brother Zui just talks and jokes, brother Chan is very good at words and deeds. "Casual", therefore, it is a relatively safe choice for Zuiwo to play happily in this important first battle.
Look at [Gods] again...
The vanguard they sent was the former "secret weapon" - [Asura].
The reason for adding the words "formerly" is because his strength is no longer a secret.
In S2, Asura also teamed up with the top five of Order to fight the Mirror Demon. Anyway, judging from the situation at the time, he was inferior to any of the five.
However, that is in the past...
After the "Mirror Realm" battle, Asura's original arrogance and conceit had been crushed, replaced by a passionate fighting spirit.
Those who hate their opponents after defeat will always be weak; only those who hate their own weakness after defeat can become strong.
Asura... clearly falls into the latter category.
When he realized that his talent was mediocre in the professional world, and there were countless people who were more talented and worked harder than him...he changed.
He restrained his incomparable middle school style, and put himself in the position of a learner and a chaser; he no longer relied on his status as the cousin of his boss (that is, [Shiva]) to occupy the studio Resources, and rely on their own efforts to continuously hone and improve.
In short, the current Asura's strength is not what it used to be.
...
[Five... Four... Three...]
The countdown to the last five seconds has sounded. At this moment, the two people on both sides of the barrier not only did not retreat half a minute, but they all came forward.
At a distance of less than five meters, they stood and looked at each other across the invisible wall.
[Two... One... Fight!]
call-
The moment the barrier disappeared, a punch suddenly struck.
Zuiwo felt ashamed to be the top player among active professional players. When he saw Asura pretending to be confrontational with him, he came up with a plan - the first move, he used the fourth form of Tianshuangquan [Frost and Snow Flying]; this technique not only tightens the fist belt and penetrates the bones, but also has a certain ice attribute slowing effect... No matter whether the opponent chooses to block or fight, it will be damaged.
Ping—
As expected, after a short while, Asura, who swung his arms to parry, dispelled the "penetrating" punch, but he couldn't avoid the erosion of the special effects of frost, and fell into a passive position at the beginning of the fight.
Zui Wo took advantage of the victory and pursued in despair, and followed up with a housekeeping skill [Lightning and Light Speed Fist]. In an instant, the fist glow turned into a line and the stars were densely covered, suppressing Asura to retreat steadily, and he could only defend by crossing his arms to protect his head.
A few seconds later, Asura's posture became lower and lower, and his entire upper body couldn't straighten up.
"Hey, hey... it shouldn't be over so soon..." Zui Wo was disappointed because the reason for this internal rant was that the chance of lore had already appeared not long after the battle started.
Facing this kind of enemy with lowered upper body and restricted vision and posture, there is a very suitable way to attack—the uppercut.
There is a saying that... martial arts in the world come out of rising dragons, breaking the sky with one punch.
Zuiwo was disappointed that this person who fights with fists, how could he not have one or two moves of "Ascending Dragon"? At that moment, he saw the right moment, gathered all the fighting energy in his body, and used [Hundred Styles-Ghost Burning]... But he saw his fist embracing flames, blowing out from bottom to top, following the half-spin of his body.
I thought it was an inevitable punch, but I didn't expect...
Just when the punch was just rising, Asura, who had been holding his head in defense, suddenly stepped back at a speed that was out of Zuiwo's dismayed line of sight, backed away a distance of more than one meter, and calmly dodged the opponent's attack. Skill.
"Oh?" Zuiwo, who had punched nothing, was disappointed, but he didn't show any panic. He just quickly retreated, re-arranged his posture, and said again, "Sure enough...isn't it that easy..."
Although he didn't say it clearly, Zui Wo had vaguely guessed something in his heart when he saw Asura's evasive movements with ease...
"Those punches I received just now..." A second later, Ashura, who stepped back and stood still, looked into the opponent's eyes, and spoke out what the opponent was thinking with great momentum, "It's a reward for everyone's treatment of me in S2. take care of."
What he was referring to was, of course, the fact that the five members of Order One's team had rescued and assisted him many times during the Mirror Demon War.
"Heh..." Zui Wo was disappointed when he heard the words, put on his trademark frivolous smile, and continued, "So... for this reason, you deliberately let me attack first, right?"
Asura didn't answer, he just silently increased his fighting spirit and put on a new stance, the subtext was - "From now on I'm going to be serious".
"Ah... a kid is just a kid, and his thoughts and actions are too naive." Zuiwo said sadly, and changed his posture, "It seems that I have to teach you what professionalism is and how to respect your opponent."
scold-
His voice has not yet fallen, but his fist moves have appeared.
This time, it was Ashura who made the first move... His attack has been attached with some kind of continuously activated strengthening technique (similar to the spiritual consciousness gathering technique), so the seemingly ordinary movement and strike are also vigorous, The sharpness is compelling.
After dismantling more than ten moves, Zui Wo felt disappointed that he was slightly at a disadvantage. If he continued to fight with basic physical skills, he would enter a situation where he and his opponent would consume each other, which would not be beneficial; after a little thought... he decided to change his style of play, Immediately make a strong move, between the movement of the fists, golden lights burst out, forming a light net to protect the body.
Asura knew that his opponent had used [Plasma Light Speed Fist], and he also knew... With his current physical skill bonus, not only could he not break through the net of the fist, but he would be gradually counterpressed by the light of the fist.
He didn't want this kind of situation to happen, so, a few seconds after the boxing net appeared, he shook his body, took half a step, took out something from his luggage, and immediately crushed it in his palm.
Immediately, a burst of black energy exploded from his hands and rushed to his whole body, causing his appearance to undergo a drastic change... In a few seconds, Asura's whole body was covered with a layer of dark gold, and his face was even more pale. A demonic mask; beneath the mask and clothing, his skin darkened, his black hair turned fiery red, and his thin frame swelled into a muscular bulk.
...
At the same moment, the order team was watching the battle.
"This is going to be troublesome..." After seeing the changes on the battlefield, Gui Xiao gave a disturbing comment.
"That 'transformation'...is it that strong?" Wu Shi Shenxuan asked suspiciously.
"Yes, absolutely." Gui Xiao replied, "The strongest level of transformation I have seen so far is Feng Bujue's [Fighting Demon Arrival], which can be said to be the only super S-level transformation...except for that one. In addition, S-level transformations, based on Xu Huaishang's [Soul Arrival], are not many... but there are still some; at this moment, Ashura is opening up this level of ability."
...
While Gui Xiao was speaking, Asura on the battlefield had already launched a fierce offensive.
Just now, the item that Asura crushed is called [Sura's Blood]. This item is similar to the [Bajingxia Pill] used by Xu Huaishang. It is the only item that can be consumed; its effect is—— The user enters a state called [Jiwu-Sura Transformation].
Maybe someone still remembers (in fact, I know that almost no one remembers it, if I remember it, why should I write it out), this is the move used by the ultimate Lu Bu in "Super Dimensional Brawl". , the caster will turn into a real Shura ghost, and his combat power will increase exponentially.
Undoubtedly, Asura in this state is definitely stronger than Zuiwo, and... since they are basically the same type of players (both boxing-based fighting specialists), the main attributes once Widen the gap, and the contrast in actual combat will be particularly obvious.
It didn't take a moment for Asura to break through the fist net created by [Plasma Light Speed Fist], attacking Zuiwo's stunned body fiercely.
That Shura's fist hits the flesh, and the strength pierces the back. Where the fighting spirit bursts out, the sweat and blood are evaporated the moment they are swayed.
Zui Wo felt disappointed and was beaten back and forth in such a vague vortex of vindictiveness, unable to escape, it can be said that his defeat has already been revealed.
But... he didn't give up.
Professional players will not give up lightly, especially experienced veterans like Zui Woxian, whose resilience is even more extraordinary.
Everyone knows that in the "professional gamer" industry, no matter how long the growth period and peak period last, and what height it reaches, as long as it is over twenty-five years old, it will go downhill... This is determined by human physiology. Although some events are suitable for older ages, or even the bigger the better, and there are very few individual exceptions... But in general, in those events with high operational intensity, players younger than 25 years old have obvious Advantage.
Zuiwo is disappointed, this year happens to be twenty-five years old, no need for others to say, he also knows... As a professional gamer, at least his physical peak period has passed.
But...he's still one of the top, most consistent, and toughest players today.
Maybe he doesn't have the reaction speed and growth potential of teenagers, but he has the advantage that those teenagers don't have—experience.
People who have experienced many battles, their judgment of the situation, their sense of opportunity, and their dedication to victory... are not comparable to novices; and their psychological quality, which has been honed through thousands of years, has already been trained to the state where Mount Tai collapses in front of them without changing their face. .
Great players are great not only because of their quick response, excellent operation and extraordinary awareness... People with these abilities can be called "strong", but to become "great", they also need tenacity spirit, and iron will.
Zuiwo Xunran is a professional player who can bear the word "great". He really kept fighting until forty minutes, fifty minutes... Even if he was abused horribly, as long as the game was not over, he would still keep thinking about ways to counterattack and try his best in exchange for even a 1% comeback possible.
His logic is also very simple: assuming that in a hundred desperate headwind games, there will only be one Jedi comeback, then I can win that set, and those who give up early will never have that chance.
This ratio is changed to 1,000 games or 10,000 games, which is also the same... And this theory can also be said to be the origin of Zui Wo Xingran as a professional player.
Right now, Zuiwo, who was completely overwhelmed by the opponent in terms of hard power, seemed to have reached the point of "despair".
But he did not lose his composure and determination to win. While minimizing his own damage, he thought about...
"The gap in physical skills is already too large. Being able to parry like this is the limit. If you are attacked like this for a while, your survival value will be exhausted...
"There are no items and equipment that can change the situation or delay the time...
"Unless you temporarily break away from this continuous oppression, it's impossible to forcefully use your attack skills to kill the opponent..."
When these thoughts flashed through his mind one by one, Zui Woxuan's survival value had already broken through the 20% dangerous line, and he had no room to wait any longer.
Asura also seemed to be aware of the other party's situation, and immediately heaved a sigh of relief, increasing the power of this continuous punching by a few points.
In fact, for Asura, the battle situation at this time cannot be said to be a sure thing...
[Jiwu-Sura Transformation] is a transformation that puts a lot of pressure on the body. Even Lu Bu on the Wushuangyuan cannot be turned on for too long, otherwise his own life will be in danger; Asura, as a player, uses The time for this move is even more limited, so he didn't dare to let the offensive relax at all, and tried his best to take the opponent away with a round of consecutive attacks.
"what!"
At this tense juncture, suddenly, Zuiwo let out a loud shout and made an unexpected move... But seeing him grit his teeth, he punched hard in the chest, and then used another soft fist "Dipping" style, grabbed Asura's wrist.
This hand... Ordinarily, it is not very useful, because Asura's strength is higher than his, even if his wrist is grabbed, this punch can still be retracted.
However, Zui Wo Xingran obviously didn't mean that; he didn't intend to stop the opponent from closing his punches, but wanted to...
call-
In the next second, Zuiwo retracted his figure in a daze, and his whole body was like a swimming snake, relying on the force of "sticking" with his hand, he wrapped himself around Asura's arm.
It turned out that the solution Zui WoXianran came up with in desperation was to use the lock technique.
If Feng Bujue's lock skill is professional level, then Zui Wo Xinglan's lock skill is VAN level... Including him, players who are very proficient in unarmed melee combat, such as Qisha, Xiaowen Cangtian, Da Brahma, etc. , all of them have specially practiced lock skills.
Of course, generally speaking, very few players of this level will take the initiative to use that, because this technique can only delay time in the battle in the late game at most, and cannot tell the winner; Speaking of which, compared to the kind of fight where the two sides fight each other with fists and kicks or throw waves at each other... the fighting of lock skills is tiring and ugly.
"Do you want to win that much..." Asura was entangled in half of his torso by the opponent, but he was still standing. This shows that his current strength is enough to support the weight of his whole body while wrestling with the lock technique. .
"It's not that I 'want to win so much', but that I have the obligation to 'want to win so much'..." Zuiwo said with a sigh of relief, which is really hard to understand at first glance, "The will to win is the basic professional ethics in this industry. I don't even think about or measure my own "how much I want to win"... because it's a matter of course to try my best to win the victory..." As he spoke, he also used the free hand, He took out a bottle of unknown liquid from his luggage and took a sip for himself, "There is no time in battle for you to think about the desire for victory, what you should think about in your mind is how to use the most effective technique... at the most effective distance, At the most effective timing, use the fastest speed...to launch an attack!"
I don't know what Zuiwo drank in despair. After he said this, the strength of his body also rose suddenly... He used the strength of his whole body to fight against Asura's arm, and successfully broke the latter's arm.
"Cough—" When the sharp pain came, Asura gritted his teeth and didn't cry out, but let out a muffled moan from his throat. Two seconds later, he roared, "Okay! Thank you for your advice!"
After drinking, he suddenly shook his shoulder.
For Asura, the broken left arm is also a good thing in a sense, because it makes him naturally break away from the lock technique.
As he swung it vigorously, Zuiwo Xanran flew out.
"It's now!"
At this moment, the same thought flashed through their minds.
Zuiwo felt that he was on the verge of death, he managed to win such a chance to fight in the air, and he would never let it go.
And Ashura's load in the transformation state has reached the limit, plus he has already crippled an arm, if he doesn't decide the winner with this move, he will probably be the one who escaped death next.
"Dragon Fist..."
"Asura..."
When desperate, both sides unanimously resorted to their strongest ultimate move and the energy of the whole body, and... both mentioned the name of the move when sending out the move.
[Dragon Fist-Burst] VS [Asura Bahuang Fist]!
Extremely strong, extreme killing move.
Head-to-head confrontation, showdown.
