Time goes back slightly, and let’s look at the zero o’clock hour, the beginning of another battle...

[Peak Contest S3, first round]

[Venue: Dirac's Sea (pseudo)]

When the system voice rang in the ears, the two teams [Order] and [Gods], a total of fourteen players, were all teleported to the script world.

This is a dark field, boundless and lifeless, like a desert composed of particles; there is no clear boundary between the "sky" and the "earth" here, and it is unclear where the light source is... However,

Whether it's the clarity of vision, or the visual sense of space, distance... this place is no different from the outside world.

[The game will start in thirty seconds]

In a solemn and solemn atmosphere, the candidates for the "vanguard battle" of both sides have already appeared on the battlefield.

The first contestant sent by [Order] is [Drunken and Sad].

In terms of one-on-one strength, in "Drunk Life, Dreams of Death", Zui Wo Wang Ran is on par with Meng Jingchan, slightly better than the other two; but in terms of personality... Brother Zui just likes to joke, but Brother Chan is both good in words and deeds.

It is very "casual", so for this important first battle, it is a relatively safe choice for Zuiwo to play the game sadly.

Look at [Gods] again...

The vanguard they sent was the former "secret weapon" [Asura].

The reason why I added the word "former" is because now his strength is no longer a secret.

In S2, Asura also joined forces with the top five of Order to fight the Mirror Demon. Anyway, judging from the situation at that time, he was inferior to any of the five.

However, that is a thing of the past...

After the battle in the "Mirror Realm", Asura's original arrogance and conceit were crushed to pieces, replaced by a passionate fighting spirit.

A person who hates his opponent after a defeat will always be a weak person; only by hating his own weakness after a defeat can he become a strong person.

Asura...obviously belongs to the latter.

When he realized that his talent was only mediocre in the professional world, and that there were countless people who were more talented and worked harder than him... he changed.

He restrained his arrogant middle school style and put himself into the position of a learner and pursuer; he also no longer relied on his identity as the cousin of his boss (i.e. [Shiva]) to occupy the studio.

resources, and instead rely on your own efforts to continuously hone and improve.

In short, the current Asura's strength is no longer what it used to be.

…………

【Five...Four...Three...】

The countdown of the last five seconds has already sounded. At this moment, the two people on both sides of the barrier not only did not retreat even half a minute, but also stepped forward to meet them.

They were less than five meters apart, standing looking at each other across the invisible wall.

【Two...one...fight!】

call

The moment the barrier disappeared, a punch suddenly struck.

Zui Woxuan is indeed the top player among active professional players. As soon as he saw Asura pretending to confront him, he thought of a plan. As the first move, he used the fourth form of Tianshuang Fist [

Frost and Snow]; this technique not only tightens the fist belt and penetrates the human bones, but also has a certain ice slowing effect... No matter whether the opponent chooses to block or fight, there will be damage.

ping

As expected, after a moment, Asura, who was waving his arms to parry, was able to neutralize the "penetrating" punch, but he could not avoid the erosion of the frost special effects, and he fell into a passive position at the beginning of the fight.

Drunk and lying in despair, taking advantage of the victory, he followed up with his special skill [Lightning Speed ​​Fist]. In an instant, the fists turned into lines and were densely covered with stars, suppressing Asura and retreating step by step. He could only cross his arms to protect his head.

to defend.

After a few seconds, Asura's posture was knocked lower and lower, and his entire upper body could no longer stand upright.

"Hey, hey... shouldn't it be over so soon..." The reason why Zui Wo Xuanran complained in his heart was that not long after the battle started, the chance to kill had already appeared.

Facing this kind of enemy who lowers his upper body and has limited vision and posture, there is an extremely suitable way to defeat him: the uppercut.

There is a saying...the martial arts in the world is like a rising dragon, and one punch in the hand can break the sky.

Zui Wo was disappointed that a person who fought with fists would not have one or two moves of the "Shenglong" boxing technique? At that moment, he saw the right opportunity, gathered all the fighting energy in his body, and used [Hundred Styles - Ghost Burning]...

...But I saw his fist holding the flame, from bottom to top, and punched out with a half-rotation of the body.

I thought it was a sure punch, but I didn't expect...

Just when the fist was about to rise, Asura, who had been holding his head in defense, suddenly stepped back at a speed that escaped the sight of Zui Lao, retreated more than a meter away, and calmly dodged his opponent's attack.

Skill.

"Oh?" Zuiwo, who had hit nothing with one punch, was disappointed, but he didn't show any panic. He just quickly retracted his move, re-arranged his posture, and then said, "Sure enough... it's not that easy..."

Although he didn't say it clearly, seeing Asura's evasive movements with ease, Zui Wo suddenly guessed something in his heart...

"Those punches I received just now..." A second later, Asura retreated and stood still, looked into his opponent's eyes, and said what the opponent was thinking with overwhelming force, "This can be considered as repayment for your treatment of me in S2.

of care.”

What he was referring to was naturally the five people from the Order Team who had treated and assisted him many times during the Mirror Demon War.

"Ha..." Zui Wo heard this with sadness, put on his signature frivolous smile, and continued, "I see... just for this reason, you deliberately let me attack first, right?"

Asura didn't answer. He just silently improved his fighting spirit and adopted a new posture. The subtext was "I will be serious from now on."

"Alas... I'm just a kid, my thoughts and actions are too naive." Zui Wo said sadly, and also changed his posture, "It seems that I have to teach you what professionalism is and how to respect your opponents.

"

scold

Before he finished speaking, his fist moves appeared.

This time, Asura was the first to strike... His attack was equipped with some kind of continuously activated enhancement technique (similar to the Spiritual Consciousness Gathering Technique), so the seemingly ordinary movements and strikes were also very powerful.

, so sharp.

After more than ten moves, Zui Wo suddenly found that he was slightly behind. If he continued to use basic physical skills to fight, he would enter a situation where he and his opponent would consume each other, which was not advantageous. After thinking about it for a while... he decided to change his style of play.

, he immediately made a strong move with great luck, and between his fists, golden light burst out, forming a network of light to protect his body.

Asura knew that his opponent was using the [Plasma Light Speed ​​Fist], and he also understood... with his current physical skill bonus, not only would he not be able to break through the fist network, but he would also be gradually counterattacked by the light of the fist.

He didn't want this situation to happen, so a few seconds after the boxing net appeared, he swayed, feinted to take half a step, took out an object from his bag, and immediately crushed it in his hands.

Immediately, a black energy burst out from his hands and rushed to his body, causing his appearance to change drastically... Within a few seconds, Asura's whole body was covered with a layer of dark gold color, and his face was even more...

He wore an evil ghost mask; under the mask and clothes, his skin turned pitch black, his black hair turned fiery red, and his thin figure expanded into a muscular appearance.

…………

At the same time, the Order team was in the viewing space.

"This is going to be troublesome..." Gui Xiao made an unsettling comment after seeing the changes on the battlefield.

"That 'transformation'... is that strong?" Wu Sheishenxuan asked suspiciously after hearing this.

"Yes, absolutely." Gui Xiao responded, "The most powerful transformation I have seen so far is Feng Bujue's [Demon Fighting Arrival]. It can be said to be a unique super S-level transformation...except for that

In addition, S-level transformations, based on Xu Huaishang's [Soul Arrival], are not too many...but there are still some; what Asura has activated at this moment is this level of ability."

…………

While Gui Xiao was speaking, Asura on the battlefield had already launched a violent offensive.

Just now, the prop that Asura broke into pieces is called [Asura's Blood]. This thing is similar to the [Bajingxia Pill] that Xu Huaishang once used. It is the only consumable prop; its effect is to allow users to

The person enters a state called [Jiwu-Shura Transformation].

Maybe some people still remember (actually, I know that almost no one remembers it. If they all remember it, why would I write it down?), this is the move used by the ultimate Lu Bu in "Super Dimension Brawl". Once it is activated

, the caster will turn into a Shura ghost and god in the true sense, and his combat power will increase exponentially.

There is no doubt that Asura in this state is definitely stronger than the drunken and melancholy one, and... since they are basically the same type of players (both are fighting experts who focus on boxing), their main attributes are

Once the gap is widened, the contrast in actual combat will become particularly obvious.

Within a moment, Asura broke through the fist net created by [Plasma Light Speed ​​Fist], and launched a series of fierce attacks towards the drunken and helpless body.

The fist of Shura penetrated the flesh and penetrated the back. Wherever the fighting spirit burst out, the sweat and blood were evaporated the moment it was swayed.

Zui Wo was devastated to be beaten back and forth in such a vague whirlpool of fighting spirit, unable to escape. It could be said that his defeat had already appeared.

But...he didn't give up.

Professional players will not give up easily, especially experienced veterans like Zui Wo Xuanran, whose resilience is even more extraordinary.

Everyone knows that in the profession of "professional gamer", no matter how long the growth period and peak period last, or what height it reaches, as long as you pass the age of twenty-five, it will go downhill... This is determined by human physiology.

.Although some projects are suitable for older ages, or even older is better, there are still very few individual exceptions... But generally speaking, in those projects with high operational intensity, players younger than 25 years old

Has obvious advantages.

Drunk and lying in despair, this year happens to be twenty-five years old. No one needs to tell him, he himself knows... As a professional gamer, at least he has passed his physical peak.
To be continued...
