Arnold Teuton curled his lips. He wasn't afraid of Hanged Ghost, but he wasn't willing to fight this kind of person. It was too disgusting. If he met someone slightly stronger, he would become incomparably wretched. He would even mimic and remain motionless like a tortoise. But if his opponent revealed even the slightest opening, he would fiercely attack. From a tactical point of view, it wasn't a problem, but who would be willing to fight with such a person?
Arnold also believed that besides the ability to break mimicry, only a ranged type would be able to deal with this fellow. His keen insight, his reaction the instant the opponent fired, his dodging, and his counterattack were all done in one go. Even Arnold Teuton himself wasn't sure if he could do such a thing. He would only know if he truly met him.
However, All-Mouthy King had given up his only chance.
Instead, he had randomly obtained a crosswheel.
… A crosswheel … Immediately, half of the audience's hearts turned cold. This was simply … disgusting.
The crosswheel was a semi-melee, semi-ranged weapon. No one knew which idiot had invented it. Although it was part of the OP armory, no one used it. It couldn't be used as a shield, and it wasn't convenient to use as a sword. As for using it as a flywheel, how could it compare to a gun? It was purely an unnecessary and long-winded move.
But this was Wang Zhong's weapon for this battle.
Finally, a small portion of people who hoped for All-Mouthy King to lose became excited!
"This will be the battle that ends All-Mouthy King's winning streak. 10,000%!"
"Arrogance will pay a price. Ignoring ability users will be All-Mouthy King's greatest mistake!"
"He's become arrogant after winning a few rounds. In fact, All-Mouthy King and Hanged Ghost aren't that different. It's best if they both perish together."
"He's too conceited. Ability users ignore technique. What can that broken crosswheel do? It's simply … too disappointing."
"Damn it, I just crawled out of my girlfriend's bed and you're letting me watch this?"
"Go back and kneel on a washboard."
For a moment, the audience in the viewing gallery was filled with discussions. Fortunately, this wasn't something new. However, everyone was disappointed that All-Mouthy King didn't meet their expectations. No matter what rank one was in, they couldn't ignore ability users. Ability users could often ignore soul power and win.
This was also the reason why ability users were at a higher position. It was truly impossible to guard against them.
The battle began. The OP forums gave the odds of victory. Hanged Ghost had 60%, All-Mouthy King had 10%, and a draw had 30%. Those who supported a draw were probably hoping for a miracle. The majority of people were calm and believed in their own judgment of the situation.
As for winning …
It might have been possible if it had been an opponent with some backbone, but it was hopeless against Hanged Ghost, the shameless spokesperson.
The OP system was able to restore hundreds of battle scenes, and almost all of them were simulations. This was so that when a player faced such a scene in the future, they would be able to adapt to it. Scenes like jungles were still considered normal, but some scenes like the Abyss that had been created due to the influence of the dimension were the ones that truly caused people to despair.
Wang Zhong toyed with the crosswheel in his hands. He had used similar dart-type weapons before. Due to Simba's fondness for them, he had used them quite a bit. However, this was the first time he had used the crosswheel, so it was rather refreshing.
The first thing Hanged Ghost did upon entering the battlefield was rush into the forest. He didn't even bother to greet All-Mouthy King. He adhered to a single principle. Acting pretentiously belonged to the victor. Once he played All-Mouthy King to death, he would have plenty of time to act pretentiously.
All Mouthy King didn't seem to have any intention of stopping them. Fiddling with the cross wheels in his hands, he threw them out under the anticipation of the audience.
The crosswheel didn't even fly five meters before it stabbed into the ground. Wang Zhong felt slightly embarrassed. This thing was really different from a boomerang. Picking it up again, he discovered that the curves of the crosswheel's edges were extremely interesting. Furthermore, there were undulating surfaces. These surfaces weren't for decoration, but to enhance the revolutions of the crosswheel. The entire crosswheel seemed to have an aerodynamic design.
Wang Zhong seemed to have completely forgotten that this was a battle and was immersed in observing the crosswheel. The so-called spectators felt their hearts turn cold. Fuck … was this a joke? He didn't even know how to use the crosswheel!
The crosswheel belonged to the boomerang series of weapons. It wasn't a design of this era, but originated from the beginning of the new era. Mankind had thought of all sorts of methods to create new weapons and combat methods to increase one's combat strength. Due to the controllability of soul power, the boomerang became popular for a period of time. However, with the advancement of rune technology, this kind of useless weapon was immediately shelved, not to mention a flashy item like the crosswheel.
Most importantly, it would be good if one knew how to use it. However, All-Mouthy King looked like a newbie.
Was he acting?
If he really was acting, then it would be at the Oscar level. No one could tell.
Even Hanged Ghost felt that this was a joke. Since All-Mouthy King was acting so pretentiously, he would sooner or later make him beg for death. However, even if his opponent was acting like a noob, Hanged Ghost wasn't affected in the slightest. All-Mouthy King's close combat capabilities still made him feel extreme fear. As a person who provoked public anger and drew hatred everywhere, he was very clear about his own situation. Only by winning could he obtain boundless happiness.
Regardless of whether his opponent was acting or not, as long as there wasn't enough opportunity, he wouldn't make a move. What he had was patience.
Without waiting, there would be no joy.
Wang Zhong familiarized himself with the cross wheels. It had to be said that this was an unexpected surprise for him, as the level of design of this weapon was unimaginable. As it rotated, the seemingly heavy and heavy cross blades, as well as the overly wide central axis, possessed an extremely strong ability to adjust its rotation. This was something that a simple boomerang was completely unable to compare to.
This weapon gave Wang Zhong a pleasant surprise. He had almost forgotten that this was a competition. Was his opponent a concealment type …
All-Mouthy King walked straight into the forest, causing everyone to break out in a cold sweat.
Bang …
A sniper shot rumbled over. Everyone was startled, but All-Mouthy King had already dodged to the side. Hanged Ghost revealed his position and fired three consecutive shots. Triangle Spear!
The bullets whistled through the air. Hanged Ghost was using the Federation's heavy sniper rune rifle. It was extremely powerful, and the bullets were dark green in color. This was another of his special abilities that could break through defenses. Even if a long-range sniper shot hit, it wouldn't be able to kill someone with strong soul power. However, Hanged Ghost's soul power contained poison. Once it accumulated to a certain degree, even the strongest soldier wouldn't be able to withstand it.
Sharmie was able to withstand it because her fire attribute special ability had an innate ability to purify and burn. This made it impossible for the poison to spread, resulting in a draw.
This was another reason why many people were disgusted by Hanged Ghost.
Naturally, such an attack would expose his position. Wang Zhong dodged the attack and rushed into the forest, but Hanged Ghost disappeared.
As soon as his opponent entered a threatening distance, he would immediately disappear without a trace.
