Gladys' ferocious aura had completely suppressed Li Shi Min. His chilling swordsmanship, coupled with his incisive Blade Qi, under such a relentless barrage of attacks, there were indeed few opponents who could withstand it. Of course, he also knew that against an expert like Li Shi Min, he could not afford to relax, and had to suppress him until he fell under his own blade.
It was not an opportunity!
Li Shi Min did not have any obvious openings under such a ferocious barrage of attacks, but Gladys's chance to unleash his killing blow had arrived.
Gladys, who had been silent all this while, finally gave a loud shout - KILL!
Instantly, Gladys's ninja blade glowed with a blinding light, and the chilling speed of the blade slowed down to a speed that everyone could see. It was not Blade Qi, but the blade seemed to be absorbing some sort of energy like a ghost, giving it a powerful aura that no one could resist.
It was so slow, but Li Shi Min was no longer able to move as freely as before. At this point, Li Shi Min's eyes were filled with a hint of approval. This blow had a hint of entering the path of cultivation.
At this point, Li Shi Min finally made his move. It was not the Divine Wind Sword, but his right hand.
In an instant, a whirlwind burst forth from his right hand, and the aura that appeared in that instant was not any weaker than the one that Gladys had spent so much effort to create. The strength of this blow was already imbued with Heavenly Energy, and it was not bad at all. However, Li Shi Min had already displayed his true power, and he was already at a level where he could do as he pleased.
An explosive force exploded forth, and the ninja blade landed slowly in Li Shi Min's hand, as if it had fallen down on its own. After the frenzy, there was only calmness left.
All the accumulated strength had dissipated just like that.
It was not just his strength that had dissipated, but also the will of his ninjutsu. It was all gone in a single blow.
Gladys stood up slowly. If it had been a tough fight, he would have persevered to the end, and would not give up just because it was cruel. This was the state of ninjutsu, but what his opponent had displayed was that he was in a completely different state.
This was no longer a matter of combat power, but a matter of dominance.
Gladys clasped his hands together and retreated. His opponent had already given him all the leeway to unleash his full power, and if he continued to pester him, he would only be humiliating himself.
Li Shiming won.
All the contestants present could see that Li Shi Min was still controlling the rhythm of the battle. This was not something that everyone did not know. Those who knew, especially the Earthlings, knew that Li Shi Min was gradually letting go of his control. Apart from strength, there was also desire in the pursuit of victory. This was something that belonged to men, and the strength of one's desire had a great impact on the outcome of a battle.
Spiritual control, in addition to combat strength, also included self-awareness. This was a deeper and most easily overlooked aspect. At the same time, it was also very difficult to achieve.
The competition between the two had ended, and the day had passed. Everyone was talking about the outstanding performance of the two. Patroclus and Li Shiming were obviously going to fight each other. At the same time, another dark horse had left the top 16, and he had caused a small accident. The Zerg race was involved, so the public was very concerned, and the media was also asking about it every day.
The preliminary answer given by the Lunar Federation was that Zado was a human, but he had been transformed by the Zerg using some kind of parasite. Scientists were still studying it, and one thing was certain: this parasite was not contagious, and the Zerg race was not a viral organism. They had created a new type of worm, and it was not a microorganism, so there was no need to worry too much. Of course, the Federation would definitely take this matter very seriously.
Although the incident itself did not cause too much of a disaster, the implications of this incident were indeed enough to make the Federation worry for a while. What was the Zerg thinking, hiding in a corner?
As for the true inside story of Zado's transformation, it was highly confidential. As for the other people in the Andromeda Constellation, there were also results. These crew members had also encountered the same situation, but the difference was that although they were controlled, they did not have any combat strength. Therefore, after the incident was exposed, they all died, and the way they died was also very strange.
The three major federations were lax on the outside, but tense on the inside. Recently, the intensity of their patrols had greatly increased, especially in the connecting region between the Solar System and the Andromeda Constellation. This transport ship was still fine when it left the Andromeda Constellation, but the problem was that it happened halfway through the journey. The universe was infinite, and the military strength of the humans was very weak. Other than the surveillance of the areas inhabited by humans, most of the Earth was not under control. It was obvious that this transport ship from the Andromeda Constellation could not send out a signal in time when it was in danger, and there was not even any intense resistance.
To the higher-ups, this matter was not what they were concerned about. The main point was to find out the reason, and not let similar incidents happen again. In the past, it was unimaginable that there were Zerg spies entering the human world.
However, there was one thing that was confirmed: once a person was infected by the parasites, the internal changes in their body would not be able to escape the detection of x-ray machines. However, this had never happened before, and that was why they were overlooked.
Within a short period of time, all the spaceports of the three major federations had been equipped with the x-ray machines. Who would have thought that the old-fashioned x-ray machines would still be used in the era of genetic identification? However, with the current productivity of mankind, even a small problem could be solved in no time.
This discovery was a good thing, and it was better than waiting for the Zergs to infiltrate the core of the human world, which would be a tragedy.
Meanwhile, the people of Ayrlarng were extremely nervous, because they knew that Wang Tong was going to challenge a real strong opponent, the Little Witch, Li Ruo-Er. Although she would be slightly better than the others, no one would dare to underestimate her.
Li Ruo-Er's Tactics of the Enchantress was one of the Five Grand Arts, and it was not an exaggeration to say that Li Ruo-Er's Tactics of the Enchantress was one of the Five Grand Arts. Coupled with her Godly Sword, Crimson Beauty, and her powerful Soul Energy, Li Ruo-Er was not any weaker than the others. If there was one weakness, it would be Li Ruo-Er's endurance and strength of Soul Energy.
Nevertheless, it didn't look like an opportunity for Wang Tong, and it was just a fantasy.
Furthermore, Li Ruo-Er had way more supporters than Wang Tong. Only the members of the S Society, Ayrlarng, and Bernabeu would still support him.
The members of the S Society knew that the real challenge was coming, and it would determine whether Wang Tong was the real dark horse or not.
Li Ruo-Er was the princess of the human race, just like how Li Shiming was the prince of the human race. Although they were different from the Kaedeians, they still respected the Li family for what Li Feng had done for them. Li Ruo-Er was the princess of the human race, just like how Li Shiming was the prince of the human race.
Time would take away a lot of things, but it would also leave a lot of things behind.
However, among the supporters of Li Ruo-Er, there was a group of people who stood out. They all had a giant red "S" painted on their chests to attract the attention of the crowd. Even though it was painted on their chests, they were still in high spirits, and many of them were the participants of the tournament.
The small group of people who supported Wang Tong was like a little tidbit in the corner of the arena.
Ninety-nine percent of the participants hoped that Li Ruo-Er would advance to the next round, and Wang Tong's performance was more than enough for a dark horse. If Li Ruo-Er were to advance to the next round, then Mankind would have two spots in the top eight, and with the addition of Zhang Buyu from the Templar, the Earthlings would have a huge advantage.
Actually, if Li Shiming and Li Ruo-Er advanced to the next round together, Li Ruo-Er might even be able to help Li Shiming block one of his opponents. No one would be able to tell who would win in the next round, but at least no one would be able to make it to the top four without getting injured.
Of course, these were all minor considerations, but they couldn't be ignored unless one had absolute strength. However, other than the Blade Warrior from three hundred years ago, no one was qualified to talk about absolute strength.
Not even the Einherjar.
The Einherjar was a human, and the Blade Warrior was a god.
Inside the resting room, Karl was massaging Wang Tong's shoulders. "Boss, don't be nervous. Just treat this as a normal match, and just do your best. I believe in you, just like how I believe in the Blade Warrior. You have to make it to the top eight!"
Karl continued to ramble on and on.
"Karl, can you stop shaking your hands? You're making me nervous." Hu Yangxuan said in a disappointed tone.
"Sh * t, I'm just trying to relax. We're talking about the top eight matches, and we'll be able to show the other major sects how powerful Ayrlarng is!"
To be honest, Karl was really nervous.
"You guys stop talking, let Wang Tong have some peace and quiet. We're going to say that he's nervous even if he's not nervous." Zhou Sisi was nervous as well, and she subconsciously clenched her fists tightly. Not to mention, Wang Tong's opponent was Li Ruo-Er, who always liked to cause trouble.
Wang Tong smiled and said, "Nah, it's fine. I like crowds, so I won't be nervous when I see Karl."
"Haha, that's what I said. Only you guys would be nervous, not me and my boss. We're invincible men!"
The others were also nervous, and none of them dared to say a word. The atmosphere was so tense that even the thought of it was enough to make one cramp, yet Wang Tong was still in the mood for it.
Apache leaned against the wall. This person had always been cold to the end. Although he had suffered a crushing defeat, his fighting spirit was even stronger. Although he did not say anything, Cao Yi had said that Apache had already expected defeat. However, this defeat had caused his opponents to step down from their pedestal. The five aristocratic families were not so powerful that they could not be overtaken. They were all human, and their future had just begun. Apache did not know what it meant to give up. Although he seemed to be an impatient person, he actually had a long-term goal. He was prepared to use his entire life to achieve his goal.
"Don't you guys worry about this kid? He won't even know what it means to be nervous."
Apache blurted out.
