Their fists clashed, and their qi clashed.
The clash of ultimate moves caused the entire space to tremble.
The wills of the two powerhouses moved every spectator.
But in the end, there was only one person who could win.
"Hah …" "Hah …" When the clouds and light dissipated, the victor on the battlefield was already lying on his back on the ground, gasping for breath in exhaustion.
The loser was consumed by the energy released by the skill and dissolved into white light.
"Did I … win …" At this moment, Asura had already returned to his normal state from the state of [Ultimate Martial Asura Transformation] and entered a state of exhaustion. Not to mention sitting up, even moving a finger was difficult for him.
Even though he had defeated his opponent, mentally, he did not feel any sense of 'victory'.
After such a close exchange, it was not surprising who would survive in the end.
…
At the same time, in the observation space of the orderly team.
"Yo, guys, sorry to keep you waiting." Lying Drunk, who was teleported back, greeted his teammates in a normal manner.
"Hey, hey … Why do you sound like you've just returned from a victory?" Phantom Dawn saw his attitude and could not help but mock him. "Losing to a kid like that, you should have lost your reputation, right?"
"Ha! Aren't you a kid as well? I've been defeated by you every few days. If my reputation is ruined every time, then my moral integrity would have long been shattered into powder, right? "Lying Drunk raised his hand to stroke his instant noodle hair in disappointment and replied with a smile.
"Even though you've lost, you seem to be in a good mood," Understanding Death looked at him and said with narrowed eyes.
"Ah … Because the fight was quite enjoyable," Lying Drunk said with a sigh. "Moreover … since the results are out, there's nothing to worry about." Lying Drunk said disappointedly.
"Burp ~" At this time, Zen Dream hiccuped and added, "Sigh … In terms of mentality, you are still the best. This kind of professionalism of 'not giving up and not relaxing until the end of the match, and once the match is over, no matter the result, you can let yourself go' is really enviable."
"Hmph …" Sashimi continued, "You're the one who lets yourself go wherever you want. You're the one who has no right to say that …"
Judging from how the five of them acted as if nothing had happened and how they were ridiculing each other, the loss of the first battle did not seem to affect their mood at all.
However, the other two members of the team were still a little nervous.
The two of them were [Order]'s ace sniper, [Barcode], and the team's support player, [Leaf Paper].
In S2, they were all members of the "Second Orderly Team." In S3, due to the change in the competition format, they were assigned to this seven-man team under the studio's arrangements.
In this competition, Barcode was under a lot of pressure. He was originally a player at the same level as Drunken Dream, but due to the addition of Phantom Dawn, he had been pushed down to the position of the 'sixth member'. Considering his age, if he left the competition so early, he would probably be transferred to the 'second string' after the competition. If that happened … the resources that the studio had invested in him, including his personal income and popularity among the fans, would be affected.
These … were all very realistic problems, and they were also problems that every professional player who was nearing the age of retirement had to face.
Other than that, there was also pressure on Leaf Paper's side. Her situation was similar to Jiang Hu's Enigma. Even though she was still participating in the competition, she was already in a semi-retired state. After S3 ended, she was ready to move to the management of the company. And as a member of the "quasi-management team", she certainly didn't want her team to "fight to their heart's content without any regrets, only to be eliminated in the first round."
"You bunch of people …" As she expected, after listening to the happy conversation between her team members, Leaf Paper's face darkened, and she slowly said, "… have you all come to your senses?"
When the others heard Leaf Paper speak, and her tone was not friendly, they quickly shut their mouths and turned to listen to their 'leader'.
"Er … CEO Ye …" Lying Drunk was not dumb. When he communicated with his' leader ', he was very obedient. "By' awareness', you mean …"
"Look at how happy you are …" Leaf Paper continued. "You must be confident that … even if we lose the first round, it will not change the final result of our team winning the competition, right?" She paused, and a smile suddenly appeared on her face. "You should know that if we, Regulation, are eliminated in the first round, and we are defeated by our nemesis, Brahman, how will the media report it tomorrow?"
Even though she did not look scary, her presence was enough to make the other six shudder. Even Phantom Dawn swallowed nervously.
"Don't think that the punishment for losing this match is just a deduction of your prize money." When she said that, Leaf Paper's smile brightened. Her eyes narrowed, and her tone was friendly and kind. "I am a girl, but I am the team leader and the team leader. After training with you idiots, I have to work overtime as a manager … The pressure is so great. What if something like 'Regulation loses in the first round of the S3 competition' happens? If something like that happens, then I, who should have been promoted to manager after my retirement, will be demoted to assistant …" At this point, her smile that was as warm as the spring breeze and her tone was laced with a bone-chilling chill. "… I will kill all of you with my own hands."
…
The five-minute break soon passed, and the second round of the battle between Regulation and Brahman, the 2v2 battle, was about to begin.
Following the announcement, the players from both teams were transported into the battlefield.
The two contestants from the orderly team were [Sashimi] and [Barcode].
With one glance, it was obvious that this was a team that specialized in long-range combat. The former's scouting ability and the latter's shooting ability were a perfect combination.
At that moment, due to Sister Leaf Paper's' encouragement ', Sashimi and Barcode, who had just entered the battlefield, stared at their opponents like they were going to eat them alive. Even though there was a barrier between them, their' fight to the death 'aura was perfectly conveyed through the barrier to the other side.
On the side of the gods, Vishnu and Garuda were the ones who came out to fight.
The former was one of the Four Heavenly Kings of Brahman, so how powerful was he? Why don't we take a look back at the ranking during S1? At the time, the top ten were Phantom Dawn, Feng Bujue (Anonymous), Shiva, Lying Drunk, Uncle Worthless, Asking the Heavens, Vishnu, Brahma, Understanding Death, and the Bladeless Swordsman.
Of course, that was a ranking from almost a year ago. Now, the combat power of the players had changed tremendously. Many of the players who were ranked between the eleventh to the twentieth place, and those who had not created their game characters at that time, had now surpassed a few of the players in the top ten in terms of raw power.
But no matter what, based on the ranking, Vishnu was definitely one of the top players.
Then, let's talk about Garuda. He was the main force of Brahman during S2, and when it came to S3, he was promoted to Brahman's team.
Similar to Asura, Garuda was a young player who had just turned eighteen that year.
In fact, in the esports circle, some people could already be called "veterans" at the age of 18 … It mainly depended on the project.
Different from Order's "sniper team", [Vishnu] and [Garuda] formed a "speed team" that focused on mobility and was good at mid-range combat.
The result of this match was definitely worth watching.
…
"Hmm … Looks like the loss of the first match has created a lot of pressure on them." About ten seconds before the start of the match, Vishnu, who was preparing, lowered his voice and whispered that to his teammate.
"Yes … their expressions look so scary." Garuda nodded. "No wonder they are the main force of Regulation. This is the first time I've seen such a look in their eyes, like they are willing to risk their own lives in the real world …"
From a certain point of view, he was not wrong in his thinking …
On the other hand, the sniper team of Sashimi and Barcode was a little strange. They did not choose to distance themselves like Xiao Tan and Xiao Ling. Instead, they stared at their opponents and started to "set up their formation" on the spot.
Sashimi took out an old-fashioned radio and a few loudspeakers from his backpack and placed them on the ground. Meanwhile, Barcode took out two golden revolvers, one in each hand, and aimed them at his opponent through the barrier, ready to fire at any moment.
[Five … Four … Three … Two …]
Soon, the system's countdown of the last five seconds sounded. However, the two teams were not good at close-range combat, so neither team had any intention of retreating.
