Seeing Li Huailin reappear on the stage, Li Jianyi, who had obviously been waiting for a long time, finally let out a sigh of relief. There was no helping it, this guy had too many bad records, there was no way he wouldn't be worried.
"How's the situation?" Li Huailin looked at the time. He was 20 minutes late, he didn't know if Fire Beacon's match was over yet.
"46 seconds," Li Jianyi replied.
There was no need for Li Jianyi to say anything, Li Huailin already understood what Li Jianyi meant. It seemed that Fire Beacon was defeated by Heaven's Separation in 46 seconds. According to the statistics of the round-robin tournament, the average time for each match was 4 minutes and 57 seconds, this 46 seconds was indeed a bit fast.
"How's he?" Li Huailin asked.
"He's fine …" Just as they were talking, Fire Beacon walked into the lounge and said to Li Huailin, "Fortunately, I had your 1.3 seconds in the morning, otherwise, I would have become the fastest player to lose today."
"Are you okay?" Li Huailin walked over and said, "Is Heaven's Separation fighting very fiercely?"
"Not really, I feel like he's still very calm." Fire Beacon thought for a moment and said, "I'm fine, if I still can't figure it out, wouldn't that Twinkle Orange jump off a building?"
"That's true, but don't worry, no matter what, you can't be at the bottom. I think there should be at least 5 people who lost faster than you in this tournament, including Heaven's Separation," Li Huailin said.
"That's true." Fire Beacon nodded, "Let's go and watch the match, it'll be Little Feather's match soon."
"Okay."
Back in the arena, the current match was between contestant A10 and contestant B10. This match … was so boring that it was unbearable, because contestant B10 was Anran … Anyway, I don't know what she's thinking, but I feel that she must only attack when I'm at full HP. Otherwise, I'll just keep healing myself.
The "fierce battle" lasted for nearly 20 minutes. Just when the audience was about to fall asleep, Anran finally finished casting her magic and lost … Immediately, the audience burst into thunderous applause.
"Oh my god, this boring match is finally over. Well done," a spectator said with tears streaming down his face.
"It's great that Nairan didn't enter the top 16. God has eyes." Another audience was also excited to tears.
"Clap clap clap …" Even the guests on this side couldn't help but applaud. It was really great. They had never felt that someone losing could make them so happy.
After that, the matches in the second half of the bracket also went on in an orderly manner, and there were no special surprises. The contestants in the second half of the bracket were indeed a little strong, and they were all people that Li Huailin knew, including Jade Emperor, the Millennium Immutable, and Feng Yiliu, who was the last to fight. Li Huailin's entire team, except for himself in the first half of the bracket, the others were in the second half of the bracket.
At two o 'clock in the afternoon, the matches in the second half of the bracket ended, and the list of the top 16 was officially announced. In the top 16, there were 13 people who ranked in the top 16 in the round-robin stage, and only three people successfully defeated the contestants in Group A. None of the A-league contestants appeared in the list of the top 16, and they were all cannon fodder in the first round.
"Contestant Ruolin, please follow me to the south lounge to prepare." The matches to advance to the top 16 were about to begin, and the first match was contestant B1, Glazed Sword, against contestant B2, Li Huailin. The staff had already come to inform Li Huailin.
"Contestant Glazed Sword … I've never heard of him." Li Huailin looked at the match list on the big screen, and he had never heard of the name Glazed Sword. Anyway, there were only a few professional players that he could remember by name, and he guessed that it was probably a player that he had never met before.
Li Huailin didn't really care about this player. He was aiming to kill everyone else, and he wouldn't pay attention to anyone else. If Glazed Sword knew what Li Huailin was thinking, he would probably be even angrier.
After resting in the south lounge for a while, the staff came to call him to the tunnel to prepare for the match. When he walked to the tunnel, the commentators were talking about Brother Awesome.
The cause was still the pre-match predictions. This time, four people predicted that Li Huailin would win, and only one person predicted that Glazed Sword would win, and that person was the Goddess of War, Xiang Nong.
"Sister Xiang Nong, it shouldn't be a problem for Brother Awesome to win this match, right?" Kexin asked in confusion.
"I don't think so." Xiang Nong shook her head and said, "I've said it before, the reason why Brother Awesome was able to win was because of that rare skill of his. Although I don't know the specific attributes of this skill, it is definitely a skill that can increase one's attack power by a lot. This kind of skill usually has a very long cooldown."
"I've seen Glazed Sword's performance in this season's matches. His performance dropped after he fought against Li Huailin, and his opponent didn't show up, but he still won. I think this incident must have dealt a huge blow to him, and that's why Glazed Sword performed so poorly this season, resulting in him only being ranked 22nd. Based on what happened before, I'm guessing that the reason why Brother Awesome used this powerful skill in the first match is because he wants to do the same thing he did in the round-robin matches, scare Glazed Sword, and force him to forfeit. That way, Brother Awesome can enter the next round without a fight, "Xiang Nong analyzed.
"What? So that's the reason?" Some of the audience who were puzzled at first seemed to suddenly understand. It turned out that this was Brother Awesome's plan. No wonder he was so high-profile in the first match. It turned out that this was the reason. This was too sinister.
"Is that so?" Even Dong Zhongxing was a little moved by Xiang Nong's words. What she said made some sense. According to his own deduction, Brother Awesome's strength should have dropped a lot. After all, he had been killed more than a hundred times. If he wanted to get a good ranking, it was indeed possible to do so. In the first match, he displayed his seemingly invincible strength, and then see if he could scare off his opponent in the second match. After all, his opponent had a history of doing so. In this way, he could enter the top eight. No matter what, it was still a good ranking.
"Eh? Is that so? " Kexin didn't really believe it. It didn't seem like Li Huailin's usual style. However, she didn't refute Xiang Nong directly. After all, she was an expert. She was much more professional than her, who had just been promoted as a supporter. She was also much more famous. There was nothing for her to argue with her. Hence, she could only ask the two guests who predicted Li Huailin's victory.
"I have already said that I think Brother Awesome will win the championship. Of course, I predict that he will win. Otherwise, wouldn't I be slapping my own face?" Jing Long answered simply, "I think the only obstacle for Awesome Bro to win the championship this time is that we're separated from each other. It's not that I'm belittling the other contestants, but I really feel that there's a huge gap between them and the other contestants."
"I still say the same thing. I can't find a reason why Brother Awesome will lose, so I still think he will win." Drifting Past still used the same sentence, but he didn't mean to explain it.
While the commentators were arguing, Li Huailin and Colored Glass Sword had already stood in the ring. Just like before, Li Huailin pulled out a Sun Spear and went to the ring.
Because in the previous round of 32, all the contestants' records had been introduced, there was no need to repeat it. Hence, at this time, the commentators were still discussing the problem of prediction.
Looking at Xiang Nong who was arguing with Jing Long on the commentary stage, Li Huailin frowned. If he remembered correctly, he didn't know this guy. Why did he keep mocking him again and again? What kind of deep hatred did he have for him?
Li Huailin pretended not to hear it once or twice, but this guy was too shameless. It was as if he was addicted to mocking him. This made Li Huailin really unable to stand it.
"Contestant Ruolin with a Heart, come here." At this time, the referee had already begun to call Li Huailin over to reiterate the rules. This was a necessary procedure, but after calling twice, Li Huailin really didn't respond. Instead, he looked at the commentary stage, so the referee had to shout loudly.
"Hmm." Li Huailin frowned and walked towards the referee.
At this time, in the commentary stage, Xiang Nong was still discussing Li Huailin with Jing Long. "I still don't agree with your point of view. I don't think that in this match, Brother Awesome will be able to kill his opponent in seconds like in the previous match. Now that Colored Glass Sword is standing in the ring, I think he has already won half the battle. It seems that he has also overcome himself …"
"Boom!" There was a loud noise. Everyone couldn't react at all. The entire arena was silent in an instant, including the five people in the commentary stage. Because just now, a black shadow suddenly flew past the right side of Xiang Nong's face, making a loud noise.
The movements of the five people froze. Xiang Nong slowly turned her face to look to her right. A broken sword with a green glow was erected on the right side of her face. The tip of the sword was inserted into the wall behind her, and the body of the sword was close to her face. It almost pierced through her head.
Xiang Nong slowly turned her head and looked in the direction of the flying sword. Soon, she found the source of the sword. It was Li Huailin who was standing on the stage.
Everyone was stunned by the sudden turn of events. No one had expected such a thing to happen, including the referee who was still standing on the stage. He hadn't even said the start of the match. Why did this broad-minded player suddenly pull out his sword and throw it at the commentator's seat next to him?
"You … What are you doing?" The referee asked inexplicably.
"Hmm …" Li Huailin suddenly shook his hand, then turned his head and very seriously said to the referee, "Sorry, my hand slipped."
