"Why is it him? Why is it him? "
Mu Fan, who was standing in the middle of the stage, felt as if ten thousand alpacas were floating across his mind. He had fought his way to the top thirty with great difficulty. As long as he won the last match, he would definitely be able to secure a spot in the top sixteen.
The rewards for the top sixteen included weapons and equipment, magic scrolls, player pointers, and Origin Substance resources. Challengers could choose one reward from each of the four categories. Compared to other challengers, they would receive four times the reward.
Apart from that, he would also be able to show his face to the professors of the Chronometer Tower Consortium. Perhaps he would catch the eye of some bigshot, and from then on, he would be able to advance rapidly.
However, his opponent was Li Xiang.
The last time the two of them had fought, Mu Fan had been completely traumatized. He had already used [Distorting Force Field] and [Burning Fist] in front of Li Xiang. If he used them again, the results would probably not be as good as the first time.
In terms of close combat, his physical fitness was not as good as Mu Fan's, and in terms of long-range combat, there was no need to even talk about it.
Mu Fan stared at him in a daze. He had clearly just come out of the ultimate trial. How had he improved so quickly?
"One minute." Li Xiang slowly raised a finger.
"Ha?" Mu Fan was so angry that he laughed. He really was a difficult opponent to deal with, but what did this one minute mean?
Was he looking down on him?
Boom!
Li Xiang didn't waste any more words. His last match with Ji Yanqing had exhausted him. Although Origin Substance clones didn't feel tired, the mental pressure from that match had been too great.
In particular, those words that seemed to have some hidden meaning.
He held the Ghost in one hand and the White Snake X in the other. His eyes glowed with a faint golden cogwheel as he pushed his mechanical abilities to the maximum.
One minute later.
Bang!
This was the sound of a bullet exploding into a body.
However, it sounded more like a high-speed armored vehicle had crashed into a person.
A large mouthful of blood sprayed out of Mu Fan's mouth. From the beginning of the match until now, he had been in a state of complete confusion.
Li Xiang seemed to have become a different person. He increased the distance between them, attacked with his gun, and made precise calculations. Every move was executed after careful analysis.
He was basically a humanoid machine.
When he went all out and displayed his long-range attack ability to his heart's content, Mu Fan had no room to parry at all.
He was also a trial taker who preferred close combat, but his physical fitness was not as good as that of Yue Xingling and Ji Yanqing. The only advantage he had was that he had three years of hard training, opened up the weights, and knew two magic tricks.
However, all of these were restrained by Li Xiang's firearms.
He did not give Mu Fan the slightest chance.
He was determined not to engage in close combat.
At this moment, every spectator watching this battle fell into silence. They were reminiscing about the flawless and incomparably gorgeous gun attack. It was like an art. Looking for cover, shooting, changing guns, replacing standard barrels …
All the movements were done in one go, and the timing was very accurate. Even a layman could tell that this was a one-sided battle.
[Burning Fist] and [Distorting Force Field] had a distance restriction. If a Warrior was pulled away by a ranged attacker, he would become a human punching bag.
Li Xiang gave all the trial takers a good lesson.
Clearly, this battle was not as good as the battle with Ise Shizuko, but the audience felt great. The thrill of not giving a chance and killing a punching bag spread in everyone's hearts.
General Mu Li in the VIP seats also fell into deep thought. His son's loss was within his expectations. If he was really talented, he would not need to rely on the acceleration pod to 'cheat'. He was already very gratified to be able to reach this stage.
The last battle ended just like that, and Li Xiang entered the top 16 without any suspense. He had gained the most fans in this ranking competition, and his fangirls were even more plentiful.
His identity as a commoner had become a big reason for the ordinary audience to become his fans.
Us commoners can also compete with the descendants of the big families and even win. This was undoubtedly an exciting matter. The Ministry of Education and the military were naturally happy to develop this way.
In this way, the number of students recruited next year would probably increase again.
Mu Fan, who returned to the VIP box dejectedly, did not dare to look at his father. He was the heir to one of the top ten Army Gods, but he was beaten up like a human punching bag in front of everyone. It was very embarrassing.
The female military assistant beside Mu Li smiled at him and tactfully left the box, leaving some space for the father and son.
"Father …"
"En, you did very well." Mu Li turned around and revealed a rare smile on his dignified face.
Mu Fan looked at him in confusion, thinking that he had heard wrongly. "I, I …"
"Son, I know that after your mother passed away, I have been too harsh on you. Your talent can only be said to be average, but I want you to stand out in the ultimate trial. You must have had a hard time these past few years. "Mu Li sighed, standing up and patting his son's shoulder heavily.
Mu Fan felt as if something exploded in his mind and could not react in time.
"After seeing your previous battle, I am very gratified. Sorry, son, I want you to follow in my footsteps. From today onwards, you can choose the path that you like. You don't have to care about what I think. "
.....
Li Xiang, who was rushing back to the lounge, actually received an inexplicable thank you message from Mu Fan on the way back. Unfortunately, he was still in the middle of the competition and could not reply.
There was only one reason why he was rushing back. The competition during the day was too tiring. He wanted to look at Ming Xu's face before he fell asleep.
It seemed to be a very shameless idea and request, but he really thought so from the bottom of his heart.
After returning to the lounge, he pulled open the curtains covering the glass window. He had not taken a shower yet, but he could not wait to look in front of him. Not far from him, there was a super building that was brightly lit. As the most prosperous super city in the first district of the subcontinent, city 0001 had the beautiful name of "The City that Never Sleeps".
No matter when, its bright lights would never be extinguished.
In this city, there were many ordinary residents. There were also all kinds of big forces and big shots that could make other numbered cities tremble.
There were the most advanced mechanical devices and the most magnificent super buildings. There were also dilapidated old buildings that had not been leveled yet.
It was such a city. Under the illumination of the lights, on a night like this, when he looked up, he could see the petite girl reading a book on the bed.
As if she had sensed his gaze, Ming Xu suddenly stood up. She didn't even have time to tidy up her pajamas before she waved at him excitedly.
After the excitement, she seemed to have realized something. She hurriedly hid the book titled "1001 Things to Pay Attention to When You First Love" under the blanket.
The picture flashed by. Li Xiang only saw the pink cover of the book, but not the title.
The two of them communicated silently with sign language and lips. Even though they were so far apart and they couldn't hear each other's voices, Li Xiang's heart was still nourished.
At that moment, he suddenly felt that the heavy burden on his shoulders was not that important.
Ye Tong, who had suddenly added him as a friend, didn't say anything. Li Xiang also maintained a tacit understanding and didn't contact her. However, he was able to see Ye Tong's recent life through the updates she showed him. Those updates would seem very childish to most people.
Before eating, before going to bed, buying clothes, and other small things would be posted. Some people would think that she was showing off, others would think that it was the thoughts of a little girl. However, Li Xiang knew that Ye Tong had been recording these things ever since she came to the Bai family.
She did it so that he could see it one day.
Not only did she tell him that she was living a good life, but she also told him about the Bai family.
In this aspect, the siblings were very similar. They were extremely smart and had a tacit understanding.
Thinking about how he was in the same city as her, Li Xiang couldn't help but have the urge to go find her.
In front of the glass window, Ming Xu had already fallen asleep while chatting.
He hugged his head with both hands and carefully analyzed the various details of Ye Tong's actions. When she took pictures, not only did she purposely show off her surroundings, but she also took pictures of the people around her. Perhaps many people would think that she was ignorant.
