"Brother Bai, are you planning to go all out?" Shan Gu looked at Shirō Makino in surprise. He had to work hard, but if he could win without doing anything, he would be too embarrassed to refuse!
"I don't think we need to go all out against them." Shirō Makino smiled, then glanced at Shan Gu and Ji Chae Yi. "Are you two planning to achieve a breakthrough in this match?"
"Yes!" Ji Chae Yi nodded.
"I was planning to achieve a breakthrough in this match, but …"
"Haha, that's good. Leave the opponent's Talisman Artist to me. As for the rest, I'll leave them to the three of you!" Shirō Makino said with a smile.
Shan Gu was stunned. He looked at Shirō Makino blankly for a moment, then pretended to cry out, "No, Brother Bai …"
"Hmm?" Liu Zhiyuan glanced at Shan Gu.
It was just a glance.
Shan Gu's fake cry stopped.
He looked at Liu Zhiyuan with embarrassment. "Leader, the key is …"
Liu Zhiyuan glanced at Shan Gu and said, "Based on the importance of this match, and the opponent's habits, I speculate that the opponent's starting lineup should be Archer, Level 8 Soul Warrior Xu Yun, Level 9 Berserker Jing Haoyu, Level 9 Shield Warrior Liang Zongguang, and Team Leader Support Talisman Artist Liang Kun. The data of the four of them is as of the last match … "
Liu Zhiyuan's gaze swept across Shirō Makino and the others. "I highly suspect that they will also make use of these few days of rest to achieve a breakthrough. So, we need to predict the opponent's realm … That's it! "
As he said that, he waved his hand, and a screen appeared in front of everyone. "Archer Xu Yun, Level 9! Berserker Jing Haoyu, Grandmaster; Shield Warrior Liang Zongguang, Grandmaster; Captain Liang Kun, Advanced Talisman Artist! "
"Holy sh * t … that's impossible, right? How are we supposed to fight like this? "Shan Gu's eyes widened in dismay.
"If that's the case, it won't be easy, but there's no need to be afraid." Ji Chae Yi glanced at Shan Gu. "Shan Gu, where's your courage?"
"Of course I have courage, and I definitely won't lack it! But the problem is … "Shan Gu scratched his head." Forget it. There's really nothing much to say. Let's just do it. "
"Shan Gu, I've noticed that you've been doubting yourself lately. Is it because I leveled up too quickly?" Liu Zhiyuan asked directly.
Shan Gu's face darkened and he didn't say anything.
"Oh, it seems so." Liu Zhiyuan nodded.
"No, that's not it …" Shan Gu tried to explain.
Liu Zhiyuan waved his hand. "Shan Gu, I leveled up to Level 9 in one go not because I'm more talented than you guys. Although I didn't use any pills, I know very well where my limit is. I'm just being impatient. In your words, a press spokesperson has to have some prestige … "
Everyone was speechless.
Liu Zhiyuan continued, "What you're doing is right. Don't be too impatient. Slowly build up your foundation. That's far more important than winning a match. We're looking at the future, not the present. "
"But if we lose this match, we'll completely lose this high school tournament." Shan Gu scratched his gray hair. "I want to win!"
"How can we lose?" Shirō Makino glanced at him. "Are you looking down on me?"
Shan Gu: "…"
Liu Zhiyuan laughed. "Xiao Bai is right. He can go all out at any time. With him around, even if he's the only one left, there's still hope of turning the tables. With Xiao Bai supporting Shan Gu, what are you afraid of, Shan Gu?"
Shan Gu blurted out, "I'm afraid I'll fall behind …"
He regretted saying it, but he couldn't take it back. He could only scratch his head awkwardly. Then, he made up his mind. "Yes, I'm afraid I'll fall behind. What about it? Am I too proud? "
Everyone: "…"
Shan Gu said in a low voice, "You guys are growing too fast! I'm afraid I can't keep up with your speed! I'm afraid … "
Shirō Makino patted his shoulder. "That's enough, brother. You're not afraid of wolves and tigers."
Shan Gu's voice stopped abruptly. After a while, he said, "I'm afraid I'll disappoint all those who care about me …"
Si Yin looked at Shan Gu. "Brother Shan, don't be afraid. No one cares about you …"
Shan Gu: ノ (● - `Д '-) ノ
Si Yin hurriedly explained, "Ah, no, no, I was wrong. What I meant was, no one cares about you so much. At least, we won't …"
"Sister, you don't have to explain …" Shan Gu was speechless.
However, after being interrupted by Si Yin, the invisible pressure that had been pressing down on him for the past few days unknowingly lessened.
Shirō Makino looked at Shan Gu. "Don't worry. Go and fight the archer. It doesn't matter if she's level eight or nine. As long as you're serious, she's definitely no match for you … I think she's quite pretty!"
Shan Gu squinted at Shirō Makino. "Brother, what do you mean?"
"Go and flirt with her! Maybe you'll succeed! "Ji Chae Yi said resentfully.
Shan Gu: "…"
Do you guys never care about the outcome of the match?
Do you guys feel like I'm the only one silently enduring all sorts of pressure?
Why are you guys so open-minded?
Liu Zhiyuan coughed. "Alright, let's continue …"
Shan Gu hurriedly nodded. "Continue, continue …"
If they continued on the same topic, they would definitely talk about his identity as a bachelor.
You guys don't understand the pride of nobility!
The next day, they drew lots for the venue.
It was still Liu who drew the lots.
This time, Liu drew a desert map.
After returning, the first thing Liu did was to gather everyone together.
"There might be changes to the opponent's starting lineup!" He said with a serious expression.
"What do you mean?" Ji Chae Yi asked.
"The desert map is disadvantageous to those with ice attribute skills. The opponent's Berserker, Jing Haoyu, might not be the starting lineup. If I'm not wrong, the opponent will probably send two Archers, a Shield Warrior, and a Talisman Artist to form a strong long-range attack team, "Liu Zhiyuan said.
Shirō Makino nodded. "The opponent has more people. There are two Soul Warriors with ice and water attributes. In the desert map, it will be difficult for them to display their advantage."
"What if the place we appear in … is an oasis?" Shan Gu asked.
Si Yin glanced at him. "Isn't that good?"
Ji Chae Yi: "Isn't that good?"
Liu Zhiyuan: "Isn't that good?"
Shan Gu: "Isn't that … good?"
Shirō Makino patted his shoulder. "Brother, you have a difficult task ahead of you, one against two!"
Shan Gu: "…"
Two days later, 21st April.
The match officially began!
In the resting room, Liu was explaining the strategy and analyzing everyone's weaknesses for the last time on the screen.
"Ren Yu is an Archer. He's a bit mischievous and likes to joke around. We can see from the previous matches that he talks the most trash in Team Apollo."
Everyone looked at Shan Gu.
Shan Gu rolled his eyes. Why are you looking at me?
Si Yin whispered, "All Archers are like this, right?"
Everyone laughed.
"On paper, they are stronger than us, so they tend to be more relaxed in the match. Ren Yu seems to be interested in Xu Yun and will often flirt with her in the match. However, Xu Yun's personality is a bit cold … so remember, when Ren Yu talks trash, it's our chance … "
After the ruthless Mr. Liu became an analyst, he was gradually developing in the direction of Shan Gu.
"Liu, you're becoming more and more like me!" Shan Gu said.
Si Yin said, "Brother, Captain isn't trash talking."
Shan Gu glanced at Si Yin's hair. Si Yin shrunk back and whispered, "That's true."
The few of them laughed heartily, and the atmosphere immediately became relaxed.
Si Xiaoyin was also much more active than before!
Everyone was growing.
In the broadcast room.
Brother Niao and Dong Li sat there once again. The expressions on their faces … could be considered relaxed.
Alright, it wasn't too relaxed.
"Yup, we got the opponent's starting lineup and the latest data … Yup, it's not very optimistic."
Dong Li pushed up his glasses. "This time, the opponent is using two Archers. Their level 9 Berserker Jing Haoyu … didn't participate. Yup, this probably has something to do with the attributes of Berserkers. In a desert map, it's hard for ice attribute skills to be used to their fullest potential."
Brother Niao nodded. "Indeed, the opponent should be thinking about this. Let's take a look at the opponent's lineup. Archer Xu Yun, level 9 Spiritual Warrior … She's one level higher than the last time! This year's group of kids is a bit scary! "
Dong Li had a serious expression. "The opponent's Captain, Liang Kun … a support-type Talisman Artist with a spiritual power of 201. Heh, he really stepped into the advanced realm. The difference between an advanced Talisman Artist and an intermediate Talisman Artist is quite big. It's not as simple as having more spiritual power."
"Archer Ren Yu, level 9 … He also leveled up! He's an Archer who specializes in sneak attacks! "Brother Niao sighed." Finally, there's the Shield Warrior, Liang Zongguang, Grand … Grand Master? Ai, this year's Flying Immortals Pro League finally has the shadow of a super genius! A Grand Master Shield Warrior is practically a moving fortress! Team Apollo is too ruthless. They're clearly aiming for the championship … "
Dong Li said, "Look at our Hundred Blossom High. Everyone has clearly improved. Yup, the main attack Spiritual Warrior, Si Yin, is still level 8 with a spiritual energy value of 302. Very outstanding, but she's still quite a distance away from level 9. Archer Shan Gu, with a spiritual energy value of 259. Assassin Ji Chae Yi, with a spiritual energy value of 259 … These two are both at the peak of level 7. Are they unable to break through that shackle? Or … are they trying to break through? I'm guessing that they're trying to break through. That way, they'll be able to comprehend … even more! "
Dong Li deserved to be called a professional commentator who had experienced many competitions. His insight was unique and his judgment was accurate.
Brother Niao said, "Let's look at our Xiao Bai … hm? Hm? Hm? "
He let out a few exclamations and then said, "Xiao Bai's spiritual energy … one hundred and one???"
Dong Li also looked at the data and was stunned. He looked at Brother Niao and asked, "What was his spiritual energy in the last match?"
"If I'm not mistaken, it's 49, right?" Brother Bird asked blankly.
"It hasn't even been a month since the last match, right? What did he go through? Did he use the Divine Statue to increase his spiritual energy? "Dong Li pushed up his glasses, his face full of shock.
"If I remember correctly … someone once said that Xiao Bai is a Senior Talisman Artist?" Brother Niao looked uncertain.
Dong Li shook his head, "That's impossible. He just used a high-level talisman. Using a high-level talisman doesn't mean that he's a Senior Talisman Artist." But in his heart, he thought, Even if he's a Senior Talisman Artist, he can't admit it! Stupid bird, this is his trump card!
Brother Niao also reacted and said, "Brother Dong is right, but I'm still very curious. How could his spiritual energy skyrocket in such a short time?"
Not only the two of them, in the live broadcast room next door, the two famous local tournament commentators from Baiyue were also amazed by Shirō Makino's spiritual energy increase.
When introducing the others, they all looked relaxed. Even if they had improved from the last match, they still didn't take those people seriously.
Two peak level seven, even if they broke through in the last match, they would at most be level eight!
One was a level eight loli who was still quite a distance away from level nine.
Against two level nine Archers, a Grandmaster Shield Bearer, and a Senior Support Talisman Artist, what chance did they have of winning?
Strength on paper couldn't be taken too seriously, but the problem was that Baiyue No. 4 High's Team Sun God … wasn't a team made of paper!
This time, they were playing at home, and they were determined to win the regional championships!
Their true goal was the Flying Immortal High School League!
Their past results were also impressive!
If it wasn't for something happening last year, causing them to miss the last Flying Immortal League, they wouldn't be playing the Flying Immortal League this year, but the Empire League!
As a result, the two commentators were very relaxed. Like countless Team Sun God supporters, they didn't think that their team would lose.
Not a single one of the betting companies favored Hundred Blossoms's team.
But at this moment, looking at the latest data in their hands, the information about Bai Muye, who was an all-elemental talisman master, more or less shocked them.
"It can't be the Divine Statue." One of the male hosts shook his head. "His previous spiritual power was only 49. To go from beginner to intermediate, he would need at least 51 points, and he would need to break through the shackles between beginner and intermediate … It's much harder for a Talisman Artist to break through than it is for a Soul Warrior! And for a beginner Talisman Artist to use the Divine Statue to break through, I can only say that he's too rich! "
The female host patted her chest and smiled. "That's why I said that we can't underestimate anyone. This super handsome youth's growth is astonishing! Fortunately, even after his spiritual power explodes, he's still only an intermediate Talisman Artist, so we can still suppress him. "
The male host said, "But he's an All-Rounded Talisman Artist! We need to keep an eye on him. "
"That's why for this match, Bai Yue No. 4 High, who sent out two Archers, will probably use a Shield Warrior to defend and an Archer to suppress from afar. I don't think there'll be any suspense …" The female host analyzed.
Shirō Makino and the others had already entered the virtual cabin in the combat room.
Data scan.
Spiritual power: 101, Spiritual Energy Value: 129.
Shirō Makino appeared in the arena as handsome as ever. He wore a shirt full of pockets, empty hands, and a smile on his face.
Every pocket contained a stack of talismans, half of which were exposed.
Quite a few people couldn't help but laugh when he appeared in front of the camera.
"Is he here to show off how many talismans he has?"
"With talismans, he's willful!"
"Hahaha, this guy actually brought so many talismans. Can he beat them all?"
"Mighty Xiao Bai, are you going to change careers and become a director?"
"If the talismans in your pockets were replaced with gold bars, you'd be even more eye-catching!"
"Why is he so handsome?"
"He's so handsome!"
Countless netizens instantly started spamming the bullet screen in a frenzy.
Shirō Makino was a little speechless as he looked at the scene around him.
There were sparse poplar trees and lush grass. In front of them … there was a small lake that covered an area of about ten hectares.
It was an oasis in the middle of the desert.
Ji Chae Yi was also stunned. She looked at Shan Gu, who was equally stunned. "Is your mouth blessed?"
They really appeared in the middle of an oasis, and their opponents … were temporarily nowhere to be seen!
But the straight-line distance between them should not be more than three kilometers.
"Hide first," said Shirō Makino. He led the others and quietly crouched in the grass.
"Shan Gu lookout," Shirō Makino continued.
Shan Gu crouched in the grass, holding the Hou Yi bow in his hand as he observed the surroundings.
They were in a low-lying area in the middle of the desert.
There were tall sand mountains all around them. The scorching midday sun shone down, making people dizzy.
Just then, the sound of fighting suddenly came from behind the sand mountain in the one o 'clock direction.
Even without Shan Gu's reminder, everyone knew that the opponent was in that direction.
Suddenly!
A black scorpion that was more than ten meters tall appeared on the sand mountain!
It raised its terrifying pincers and let out a shocking hiss.
It looked extremely mighty!
Unfortunately, it only lasted three seconds.
Swoosh!
Swoosh!
Two cold arrows shot into the head of the huge black scorpion.
The huge scorpion's defense was broken, and it died on the spot.
After a tumble, he quickly rolled down the steep slope of the sand mountain towards the oasis below.
Then, a huge figure appeared on the top of the mountain, holding a huge shield!
It was noon in the desert map. The sun shone on the figure, casting a golden glow.
The black shield was shining.
It was the young Master Shield Warrior … Liang Zongguang!
He was the first to appear at the top of the mountain. He didn't leave any blind spots for attack as he carefully looked down.
"Sh * t … there's an oasis there!" The tall and burly Liang Zongguang was speechless. "If I knew there would be an oasis here, I would have sent Haoyu! As long as the opponent is lured over, Haoyu's ice attribute technique can even deal damage in this place! "
Ren Yu, who was not tall and a little chubby, glanced at him and said sadly, "Big Brother … you don't have to be so direct, right?"
Liang Zongguang laughed and said, "Our archer is not bad either!"
"What do you mean not bad? He's terrifyingly powerful! "Ren Yu glanced at the oasis below.
There were sparse poplar trees all around the oasis, and the grass that was taller than a person was particularly lush.
It was hard to find someone hiding in this kind of place.
He glanced at the silent Xu Yun. "Hey, long-legged girl, let's fight?"
Xu Yun glared at him, but then looked at the silent captain Liang Kun.
Liang Kun was about 1.8 meters tall, with slightly dark skin and short hair. He looked very handsome and capable, and there was almost no youthful smell on him.
He nodded lightly. "Okay."
Without saying a word, Xu Yun took out twenty-four arrows with extremely thin shafts from her body and placed them on the exaggeratedly shaped bow. Then, she placed the bow horizontally on the sand and gently pulled the bowstring along the small gap between Liang Zongguang's shield … The bow was instantly pulled to the fullest!
Ren Yu stood there, glanced at Xu Yun's two long legs, and silently raised her eyebrows at Liang Kun.
Xu Yun, who was lying on the ground, said coldly without turning her head, "Ren Xiaoyu, if you don't want to live, say something."
"Squeak," Ren Yu said.
Xu Yun suddenly turned her head.
"Watch out!"
Liang Zongguang roared in a deep voice.
At the same time, exclamations came from the live broadcast channels of both sides.
All the viewers who were watching the game opened their eyes wide and held their breath at this moment.
Whoosh!
An arrow suddenly shot out from the grass of the oasis at an incredible speed!
Like a meteor chasing the moon, it shot toward the small gap that Liang Zongguang's big shield had specially opened for Xu Yun!
Liang Kun reacted extremely quickly, and with a snap, he slapped a defense talisman directly on Xu Yun's body.
However, the arrow mercilessly penetrated the light curtain formed by Liang Kun's defense talisman and directly nailed Xu Yun's head.
Xu Yun died.
Eliminated!
Liang Zongguang was dumbfounded.
Liang Kun was dumbfounded.
Ren Yu was dumbfounded.
There was dead silence in the live broadcast channels of both sides!
All the viewers who were watching the game were dumbfounded.
Everyone was shocked.
