Five Six Five, Galaxy Arena Competition
"Then, I'm leaving..."
Outside the sanctuary, Seiya glanced at the magic bell, unable to express his reluctance, turned around, and walked towards the distance with the box of the Pegasus Saint Cloth on his back. 【】
Mo Ling didn't say anything, and watched Seiya leave until his figure disappeared, then turned and walked back.
But the moment she turned around, she froze there.
In the next second, her body trembled violently, and at the bottom of the mask, at the position of her chin, little drops of water slowly dripped down.
Zhang Fan smiled at her, stepped forward, gently took off her mask, and wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes.
"Don't cry, haven't I come back?"
It was good that he didn't speak, but when he spoke like this, Mo Ling cried even harder, lying on his arms, her voice became louder and louder.
Zhang Fan didn't speak, he hugged her into his arms, stroked her hair gently, and kept calming her excited emotions.
After a while, Mo Ling regained his strength, looked up at Zhang Fan, and pouted.
"Where did you go? Do you know that I searched for you all afternoon today, searched the entire sanctuary, but still couldn't find you. At that time, I even thought, thought... thought you had... "
The magic bell can't go on talking about the following words, it's too scary, she just feels terrified when she thinks about those possibilities, if she can, she won't want to recall these things again in her whole life, she would rather forget all these things by herself, and never forget them It's better not to think about it anymore.
Looking at her, Zhang Fan smiled softly.
"It's my fault, I didn't notify you in advance, but it doesn't matter now, I'm back..."
"It doesn't matter what it is! Do you know that because of your sudden disappearance today, the Saint Cloth competition has ended. You arrived just now, the box behind Seiya contains the Saint Cloth of Pegasus, although I I didn't expect the two of you to compete with each other, but you just lost your only chance to become a saint, what, what should I do!!!"
The magic bell touched Zhang Fan and said eagerly.
Indeed, the chances of becoming a holy fighter are really rare.
The only way for ordinary people to become a saint is the bronze saint.
You have to become a Bronze Saint Seiya before you can be promoted to a Silver Saint Seiya, and a Silver Saint Seiya is almost the limit of an ordinary person.And the silver saints themselves do not support direct appointments, all silvers are promoted, and there has been no precedent for directly becoming a silver saint since ancient times.
And it goes without saying to become a golden saint. Golden saints are not specially selected from an early age, and those who can really become gold through promotion are simply rare.Two generations of saints, for nearly 200 years, Tong Hu was the only one who was promoted from the dragon constellation. The other saints were not born with righteousness since they were young, but were directly appointed as gold saints of.
And in other words, even if Zhang Fan can go this way, what about the quota?
You must know that although golden saints are physically different from ordinary people, they are powerful people after all, and their survival time is always longer than ordinary people. Of this generation of gold, only Tong Hu is old, and the other golden saints are still in their prime. , and now it's a catastrophe, it's really harder to become a golden saint than to reach the sky.
So at this moment, the only way to give Zhang Fan a chance is the Bronze Saint Seiya.
Now, there is obviously a road ahead of Zhang Fan, but he has lost the opportunity, and he will wait for the next opportunity, who knows when.If the time is too long, when he is old, he will lose the qualification to become a saint.
So Mo Ling was very anxious, so anxious that she almost rushed into the Pope's Palace to beg the Pope to give Zhang Fan another chance.
Seeing her eagerness, Zhang Fan said in his heart that it would be a lie if he was not moved, but he was not in a hurry, he still had his own plans.
Gently touching Mo Ling's hair, Zhang Fan smiled.
"Okay, don't be like this, the position of the Bronze Saint Seiya is certainly valuable, but since it has been lost, there is nothing you can do about it. Don't worry, although the Saint Seiya is an enemy in this world now, it is inevitable that someone will appear Accident. As long as there is a chance, I believe the Pope will not let my talent go to waste. As long as there is a vacancy, maybe I can get on the job directly without competition. So don’t be impatient, it’s useless to be impatient, just wait quietly, Many times, opportunities just drop from the sky!"
"But……"
"Okay, okay, there are not so many but, just listen to me, don't worry, becoming a saint is also a matter of my future in the future, and I have to pay attention to these things no matter how indifferent I am. Actually, I also have my own plans, although I can't say it now, but don't worry, I will definitely surprise you in the near future."
"Really?"
Hearing what Zhang Fan said, Mo Ling calmed down a little, and asked in disbelief.
"More real than pearls!"
Zhang Fan nodded and said firmly.
"Since you say so...then I believe you!"
Mo Ling nodded, lying in Zhang Fan's arms, with a happy smile on her face.
The two stood there embracing each other for half an hour. Then Zhang Fan took Mo Ling's hand and led her to find a smooth boulder. He sat on it and looked up at the starry sky, telling each other about his love for each other. Affection.As for sitting and sitting, it took a whole night until dawn, and the magic bell, who had been exhausted yesterday, fell asleep in Zhang Fan's warm embrace in the cool breeze in the morning.
Zhang Fan carried her back to the residence, left a note, took one last look at Moling's sleeping cheek, turned and left.
It wasn't until he left completely that Mo Ling opened his eyes, and a crystal tear flowed from the corner of his eyes.
Sitting up, picked up the note on the table, a smile appeared on his face.
Looking at Zhang Fan's back, the corners of her mouth were slightly raised.
"Zhang Fan...I'll wait for you!"
……
"Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!"
At this time, in a huge stadium, violent shouts continued to resound, and the voice of thousands of people shouting together resounded through the sky.
In the gymnasium, thousands of people kept shouting, and they broke out with unprecedented passion for the battle between the two in the arena.
If you think this is an ordinary boxing or fighting match, then you are wrong.
The two people fighting on the stage are not simple ordinary people. Their bodies are different from ordinary people, but their bodies are wearing armor-like things of different colors and shapes.
That's right, they are Saints! ! !
And what they participated in at this time was the Galaxy Tournament held by Saori Kido in order to fulfill the last wish of his grandfather Mitsumasa Kido.
The ones fighting on the field at this time are Xie Wu of the Unicorn Zodiac and Man of the Child Teacher Zodiac.
The battle was very fierce, the two fought back and forth with great joy, and the surrounding audience even responded with warm cheers, and these cheers stimulated the two people fighting even more.After the initial temptation was almost three or five moves, the real fight began.
This time, the battle became more intense, and the surrounding cheers grew louder.
And just as there were bursts of cheers, the outcome of the battle began to emerge. Under the attack of the young teacher's man, Xie Wu of the unicorn was encouraged to support him. Although both of them were saints, after all, even if Even holy fighters have their strengths and weaknesses. Compared with Man, Xie Wu's strength is a little bit worse. Although it is a very insignificant point, but in such a scene, surrounded by cheers, He made a small mistake and gave him a great opportunity.
A heavy punch hit him hard in the abdomen, and Xie Wu's body bowed like a big shrimp.
Immediately afterwards, quite took the opportunity to move forward, and greeted Xie Wu with a series of combined punches to the flesh. In almost a short moment, Xie Wu was beaten so that his center of gravity was unstable, and his body kept retreating. When they reached the edge, they collapsed on the fence, almost losing their fighting power.
But he hasn't fallen yet, so Man won't let him go.
After catching up, Man's double fists were like two giant hammers, one punch after another hit Xie Wu's body, Xie Wu was beaten with such heavy punches that his mouth kept spurting blood, and soon , A large pool of dazzling bright red was formed on the ground in front of him.
Seeing Xie Wu's current state, he finally settled down.
"Is it over? Then, it's time to end!!!"
With a soft drink, Man's fist was raised high, and it hit Xie Wu's back.
"ah!"
The spectators watching the battle couldn't help but exclaimed at this point. It's just that the punch in the front is quite powerful, and now it's even more powerful. If this punch is really punched, Xie Wu will not die. It must be a serious injury, and I'm afraid it won't be able to recover in ten days and a half months.
The audience's exclamations reached Man's ears, Man's mouth grinned, and his fists dropped even faster.
And Xie Wu, who also heard these voices, seemed to wake him up a little bit, opened his eyes slightly, and looked forward.
He arrived at the counted audience, and also arrived, Saori Kido, who was sitting at the top.
Seeing Saori Kido's smooth and white cheeks, and her beautiful and noble appearance, Xie Wu, who had long admired her, suddenly had a new power in her body.
"That's right, Miss Saori is looking at me, how can I lose, I want to win, I want to defeat all opponents in front of Miss Saori, and become the strongest!!!"
Xie Wu's eyes stared suddenly, and his already weakened legs suddenly exerted strength, and his whole body finally jumped up before the heavy punch hit him, and jumped over Man's head.
"what!!!"
This sudden scene surprised the man who had already punched him, not only him, but also the audience around him, and even Saori Kido who was on the high place were quite surprised.
"how is this possible……"
Man's eyes were wide open, and he hurriedly turned his head back, but what greeted him was a big foot that fell from the sky.The feet wearing the holy clothes stepped on his face fiercely, knocking him to the ground, and blood shot out from his mouth and nose uncontrollably.
As for Xie Wu, he deftly flipped a few somersaults in the air and landed steadily.
Man over there was severely kicked by this kick. After getting up from the ground, his head was still a little dizzy.
This is a good opportunity, a godsend opportunity for a comeback.
Xie Wu is a holy warrior anyway, he will not let go of such an opportunity, with a movement of his body, his whole body is like a vigorous unicorn, rushing to Man at a fast speed, and taking advantage of the fact that he has not yet regained consciousness , the iron-like fists rained down on Man's entire upper body.All of a sudden, Man, who had the chance to win, was beaten up and down, and the scene was reversed in an instant.
"come on!"
"Come on, unicorn!"
"Hit that lion!"
"Kids, come on, don't be defeated by unicorns!"
"come on!!!"
The surrounding audience cheered loudly for the saints they supported.
However, it seemed that he had regained his strength, and Man, who was constantly being beaten, finally fell to the ground fiercely under the last heavy punch.And Xie Wu also slid past him like a gust of wind, turned his head slightly to glance at Man who fell on the ground, and proudly raised his arms towards the audience.
"Oh! The unicorn won the unicorn... won..."
When the audience was about to cheer, they all shut their mouths in unison.
Xie Wu was stunned for a moment, then turned around, the man over there unexpectedly got back up after so many punches.
And his appearance, although he has been injured, has not lost his combat effectiveness.
"You're really a tough guy, if that's the case, I'll knock you down!"
Xie Wu crouched down and said in a deep voice.
"Arrogance! I am the final winner! Ahh!!!"
With a loud cry, Xie Wu rushed towards Xie Wu, and Xie Wu fought back, not to be outdone. The two of them each had special movements. In the eyes of the audience, they had already turned into unicorns and kindergarten teachers.
In a head-to-head confrontation, the unicorn is really not Man's opponent. He is so barbaric that Xie Wu also rushes towards him, and he is very determined in his heart. He firmly believes that he can defeat Xie Wu.
But in the next second, the horn on the helmet of Xiewu Saint Cloth suddenly started to glow and discharge.
Seeing this scene, he was quite stunned for a moment, and during such a stunned moment, a bolt of lightning had shot out from Xie Wu's horn.
With a violent crackling sound, the lightning struck Man, and a strong electric current flowed through his whole body, throwing him high into the sky.Xie Wu chuckled, and ran towards the fence suddenly, using the strength of the ropes of the fence, he rose into the air, like a goshawk, with his right foot making a sound of breaking through the air, he kicked fiercely at the barbarian who was moving in the air. belly.
"cough……"
After receiving such a heavy blow, Man couldn't help spitting out a mouthful of blood, and his body fell to the ground hard. He tried to get up several times, but he still lay down hard.
Man lost his fighting power, and Xie Wu won his first victory.
The moment the result of the game came out, the atmosphere in the stadium exploded again, with waves of heat wave after wave, as if the roof was about to be blown off.
And almost at the same time, the flight from Greece also slowly landed at the airport, and Seiya, who was carrying the holy clothes, slowly got off the plane, and glanced at the bustling city in front of him, with a flash of nostalgia in his eyes.
"Wait for me, sister, I'm back!"
【】
"Then, I'm leaving..."
Outside the sanctuary, Seiya glanced at the magic bell, unable to express his reluctance, turned around, and walked towards the distance with the box of the Pegasus Saint Cloth on his back. 【】
Mo Ling didn't say anything, and watched Seiya leave until his figure disappeared, then turned and walked back.
But the moment she turned around, she froze there.
In the next second, her body trembled violently, and at the bottom of the mask, at the position of her chin, little drops of water slowly dripped down.
Zhang Fan smiled at her, stepped forward, gently took off her mask, and wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes.
"Don't cry, haven't I come back?"
It was good that he didn't speak, but when he spoke like this, Mo Ling cried even harder, lying on his arms, her voice became louder and louder.
Zhang Fan didn't speak, he hugged her into his arms, stroked her hair gently, and kept calming her excited emotions.
After a while, Mo Ling regained his strength, looked up at Zhang Fan, and pouted.
"Where did you go? Do you know that I searched for you all afternoon today, searched the entire sanctuary, but still couldn't find you. At that time, I even thought, thought... thought you had... "
