England has counterattacked. "Jing Shan clicked his tongue in wonder, his eyes filled with amazement and complicated emotions.
No one expected Tintu to be the first country to be defeated this year after coming in second last year. Moreover, they lost to England, who was ranked fifth last year.
At the same time, the strength shown by England was also amazing. They were able to win even when they still had a beginner Innate Stage member on their side. Their ruthlessness was truly impressive.
Of course, it was not that Tintu was not ruthless enough, but only one side could win!
"The awakened ones do have a much greater advantage," Ye Lingchen said with a frown.
In the end, Alex and Vikas were at the end of their rope, but Alex only needed to use his mind to control the movement of the metal, while Vikas could only sit and wait for his death.
The difference was not to be underestimated. The slightest mistake could mean the difference between life and death!
Lin Xi nodded in agreement. "Yes, the awakened ones have a much easier time manipulating the elements than us."
"The awakened ones have advantages, but they also have disadvantages. They are greatly affected by environmental factors. Their methods are limited, and their explosive power is not as good as that of martial artists. For example, a fire awakened one's strength will be halved if they fight at sea," Sun Hongtao said.
Everyone nodded their heads. That made sense.
"England wins!"
At that moment, the referee announced the result loudly!
Vikas was still lying on the ground with blood flowing from three wounds. His eyes were filled with sorrow.
Tintu was defeated in this battle!
Their performance was indeed outstanding, and each of them worked hard. However, all of them were seriously injured and their combat power was greatly reduced. It had a great impact on the next round, and it was likely that they would be ranked at the bottom this year.
Fortunately, there were still two days of buffer time to recover.
…
"Tintu was defeated and suffered heavy losses. It will affect their battle the day after tomorrow." Chen Xiaoxiao sighed softly. At present, Tintu was either injured or disabled, and only two or three people still had combat power.
If they were to lose again, their ranking would definitely be at the bottom.
The competition system first divided the winner group and the loser group. The winner group had four teams, and the loser group had four teams. Then, the winner group and the loser group were divided again in each group. Then, the winner group would continue to face off against the winner group, and the loser group would face off against the loser group to determine the ranking.
If Tintu lost in the first round, they would at most be ranked fifth.
It had to be said that luck played a part in this duel. Drawing a strong opponent would be unlucky, but luck was also a part of one's strength. Moreover, it was this kind of luck that allowed one to allocate resources reasonably.
Otherwise, what was the point of holding this competition? Couldn't they just give more resources to the powerful countries? This competition was held to give some relatively weaker countries a chance to counterattack.
"There's a good show to watch in the afternoon. Hellas versus the Sun Nation." Jing Shan's voice was teasing. "Let's go eat first and wait for the good show in the afternoon."
"The Sun Nation will probably be destroyed by Hellas, hehehe …" Chen Xiaoxiao said expectantly.
With the end of the first match, the contestants left one after another. Some people were talking about it, marveling at England's strength and regretting Tintu's failure. There were also people who were silent all the way with heavy hearts.
The brutality of the martial arts competition had exceeded many people's expectations. But to be honest, if they were to go on stage, they were afraid that it would be the same. Because they did not want to lose, they could only fight to the death!
This was not just a spar to determine victory or defeat, but to determine victory or defeat!
Although no one died, the injuries were shocking and everyone was seriously injured!
This was only the first battle. What about the next?
Would the afternoon's competition be even more tragic?
It would definitely be more tragic when they fought for first place at the end.
Of course, no one was afraid to fight. Martial artists did not practice martial arts for the sake of hiding. Moreover, even if they were afraid to fight, their country would not agree to it. The world's martial artists would not agree to it.
Martial artists were not allowed to be afraid to fight!
After lunch, the voices of discussion gradually died down. Everyone was waiting.
At two o 'clock sharp.
The International Martial Arts Tournament arena.
Everyone quickly found their seats in the morning and sat down. Everyone was looking forward to it.
Wu Tianbao had already opened his mouth and said, "The competition in the morning was very cruel, but I am deeply gratified because no one took the initiative to admit defeat. They all fought to the last bit of their strength and fought to the last breath. It was not in vain that all of you fought on the battlefield. Good job!
Compared to the previous International Martial Arts Tournaments, your progress is really too great. I remember that in the first few years, those who could participate in the International Martial Arts Tournament were only martial artists who had achieved great success in inner force. At most, they were at the early stage of Innate Stage. Now, mid-stage Innate Stage can be seen everywhere. What do you rely on? What do you rely on? Countless predecessors who are not afraid of death!
Martial artists have to fight for resources, for living space, for any opportunity, and also for a bit of backbone! "
With this opening speech, the afternoon competition officially arrived.
"Next, let's take a look at the lineup of Hellas and the Sun Nation."
"Hellas: Arina, Eris, Gaia, Hera, Hebe.
Sun Nation: Zokawa, Akai, Anxi, Asao, Aso.
In the morning, we witnessed an exciting battle. Will the match in the afternoon be even more exciting?
Let's wait and see!
In the morning, the two countries paid particular attention to the first and last battles. Will the two countries use the same tactic next? "
Wu Tianbao laughed loudly and said, "Let's invite the participating martial artists to the stage!"
…
"Eh? Hellas's first contestant is actually a woman. "Wu Tianbao could not help but exclaim in surprise when he saw the person on the stage.
Everyone was also surprised.
Ye Lingchen frowned as he looked at the woman. She was dressed in light armor and looked valiant. Her long purple hair fluttered in the wind and her blue pupils shone like gems. She was considered extremely tall among women, standing at 1.7 meters and having a good figure.
Her appearance was very different from Eastern women, but she was extremely beautiful. Her weapons were a spear and a shield!
She had the strength of a mid-stage Innate Stage. Moreover, her Qi was different from that of an Awakened or a martial artist. The specific difference seemed to be a sense of holiness.
Ye Lingchen observed her with a slightly solemn expression.
That woman's Qi was extraordinary!
With a leap, Arina landed in the center of the ring.
At the same time, Zokawa, who was on the other side, walked slowly.
"Bang!"
His physique matched his name very well. Like a giant elephant, he was two meters tall and his whole body was piled up like a hill. His footsteps made a muffled sound when he walked over, and the weapon in his hand was a heavy hammer!
Beauty and the Beast!
That was the first thought that came to everyone's mind.
Zokawa was too terrifying. His hill-like body combined with that huge hammer would make anyone who saw him feel intimidated. In comparison, Arina looked much weaker.
"Hellas, Arina!"
"Sun Nation, Zokawa!"
