Thirty minutes later, William Jacques walked out of the arena dejectedly.
He had just experienced a crushing defeat. Not only had his initial attack plan failed, but he had also fallen into the opponent's trap because he had been too aggressive. In a situation where his strength was inferior to his opponent, it only took a mere 27 rounds before he was dealt a direct and heavy blow by his opponent.
After that, William had completely switched from offense to defense, which was exactly what his opponent wanted. The Magical Shadowman was a profession that was stronger in offense than defense. Under the opponent's methodical pressure, William Jacques had not lasted more than three minutes in the arena before he suffered two more three-point "side attacks," and a six-point "critical blow."
"What was I thinking on the stage? Was I crazy? "
William muttered after he walked to Li Mochen's side, sinking into self-doubt. "I'm so stupid. According to the previous rhythm, even if I lost, I wouldn't have lost so badly. It wouldn't have been 0: 15. "I'm really not suitable to be a professional player —"
Li Mochen laughed. "Don't be so depressed, William. You've done well. I think Naessen will give you a sponsorship contract soon. "Although it's not the best, it's better than nothing."
The key was that William could wake up in time in the last 35 rounds. After that, William played quite well. Although he was mostly defensive, his several counterattacks made his opponent quite embarrassed. In the end, he had to rely on his higher cultivation level than William and the strength of his profession to force William down.
But William had shown his potential. Anyone who had seen it would have a deep impression of him.
"Will they?"
William's eyes lit up, and then he shook his head with a bitter smile. "Ammo, you don't have to comfort me. I know my own situation. They definitely won't sign me. My performance on the stage was a pile of sh * t."
Li Mochen thought to himself, "What do you know?" It was true that he was a pile of sh * t. But at this time, he had no time to care about William. Just then, another announcement came from the stadium. "Round four on A3, James Lance from Rachel College VS Andre Lee Wildenstein from Linden College, starting at 3: 25 —"
It was now 3: 20 am, which meant that the battle between him and James Lance would begin in just five minutes.
It was also at this moment that the entire Storm Stadium was suddenly filled with an explosive clamor. Many of the spectators in the surrounding stands were shouting themselves hoarse, creating a tsunami of sound waves that surged endlessly, each wave surging higher than the one before.
Not long after, the sound waves converged into one.
"Double Sword Prince! Double Sword Prince！ Double Sword Prince！”
All the spectators were shouting "Double Sword Prince" in unison.
As James Lance, who was wearing a shiny silver armor, stepped onto the third ring and waved his hands in all directions, the cheers in the stands rose to another level. The majestic aura seemed to be about to collapse the entire stadium.
"He looks like a superstar —"
William looked at this scene in shock and began to worry for Li Mochen again. "Ammo, don't be affected by them, okay? Just perform normally. These people are betting on James. They don't really like him. "
"They won't have the energy to shout later."
The one who spoke was Carl Holden, who had unknowingly appeared beside them again. "I just told you, Ammo, that your opponent might have hidden his strength and might even use some means outside the rules. But now, we can be sure that the opponent used a forbidden potion. It's a potion called 'Dragon's Heart', the seventh edition. It's the latest model of Shadow Workshop. "
"Forbidden potion?"
William looked at Carl Holden in surprise. "Since it's against the rules, shouldn't we report it to the competition committee?"
Carl laughed. "Of course it can't be detected with the current technology. It's said that many professional players use it. It can probably increase their combat power by 10 to 20%. The only drawback of this thing was that it could easily cause one's emotions to go out of control when one's emotions fluctuated violently. So, Ammo, you'd better be careful. "
William's expression changed slightly. He had already begun to feel that under the bright appearance of NMOSA (National Comprehensive Cold Weapon Combat Alliance), there might be darkness beyond his imagination.
Li Mochen fixed his gaze on his opponent in the arena and then grinned. "Don't worry, I'll definitely win this battle. His movements are a bit stiff and uncoordinated. He probably took too much medicine and didn't train properly. "
Carl and William were both slightly stunned as they looked at James Lance on the arena.
Stiff and uncoordinated? Really? They couldn't tell at all.
"He actually used a forbidden potion. Then I'll feel more at ease."
Li Mochen also put on his armor and stepped up the stairs with his sword in hand. "Is the most humiliating way to do it? I'll do it. "
…
"My spoils evaluator reported to me that James Lance's movements are a bit stiff. Even after taking the 'Dragon Heart' potion, it can only improve to a certain extent."
In the third private room, Alec Bruder from Penguin Gambling Company was holding a pair of binoculars and smiling. "He's the type that leans towards strength and speed. Plus, he has passable combat skills and combat awareness. He's very tough and troublesome at the stage below level ten. But his speed is uncontrollable. It's completely different from André's control. "
"He has good taste! Our evaluator has also made a report on this matter. They think that if André slightly loosened his control over his accuracy, his stabbing speed could actually reach 870 kilometers per hour. He just doesn't want to do that. "
Dwight Payton was also holding a pair of high-powered binoculars. "Can you tell me about it? How much can Penguin Gambling Company earn this time? "
"That's a trade secret!"
Alec's lips twitched, but then he smiled. "The total amount of bets is 1.7 billion gold duns, and it's still growing. Although some smart people have bet on André, the amount isn't much. I have to thank you, Dwight. You've kept André's test video and data a secret, so that Arcadia can help us. We can't compare to the influence of a big conglomerate. They can even mobilize the power of all six major news groups. But is it really okay for you, Dwight? In this way, a lot of people will hate André. "
"That's their problem. When facing the media, André always says that he has a winning ticket," Dwight said carelessly.
Dwight casually replied, "Only a small number of people will bet. Moreover, Andre's image is more suitable to attract women and minors."
"Sh * t, I guess you'll get the media to call us black-hearted and push the blame to us, right? But the CEO of NMOSA will like him. They've been thinking of ways to attract more women to watch the competition. "
At this moment, Alec turned his binoculars to look at the other private room diagonally opposite.
Although it was a one-way glass, Alec had a secret technique that allowed him to observe what was going on inside. "It seems that our CEO Archibald is in a good mood. Ha, they even prepared victory champagne. Dwight, you should see his expression now. He seems to think that he's going to win. "
"I can't see it, but I can guess."
Dwight's lips twitched slightly. "André is already on stage. This is the center of the stage, isn't it?"
