Chapter 20 The Essence Corresponding to Me

The afternoon competition ended early, and all the losers returned to school, leaving only Mu Zhengguang, Xu Yingze, Guo Chenrui, Xie Muzheng, and Gao Binyue. Only 1/32 of the semi-finalists were able to enter the twelfth round, and only five of the hundred were able to stay, which was a remarkable result.

There were only three tables left for dinner.

Mu Zhengguang found that the banquet had been upgraded. This time, there were even hairy crabs. The number of students had decreased again, and they could be counted on one hand. If this continued, there would probably be only two left. He and Ying "alone" facing 19 teachers, the scene was really... interesting to think about?
After dinner, the two walked together, and Xu Ying asked him: "It's another long battle, you are not injured?"

Mu Zhengguang didn't quite understand Ying's ability: "You always fight quickly and decisively, which can be seen from the time you send messages. The longest is no more than two minutes, and the shortest is less than one minute. Why can you quickly defeat your opponent every time?"
It is unkind to ask others about their "secret tricks". Although good friends have a little understanding of each other's asymptotes, such as Lu Hao's "dyeing power" and Shang Yu's "origami power", but almost everyone is vague about the deeper things.

You are the only special case. If it weren't for your suggestion, I wouldn't have planned to use domain blessing so early.

"Domain Blessing" belongs to the category of special moves. I didn't tell you, but you told me first. I am not a person who cherishes my own things. We have measured each other's countdown and acceleration time. Your countdown is 20% shorter than mine, the upper limit is twice as much as mine, and the acceleration time is half as much as mine. The bonus of domain blessing is unknown.

Our special moves correspond to each other, and there is a gap, but it is not big. Your ability to fight quickly and decisively should be the characteristic of running power itself. For example, your countdown and acceleration timers take effect faster and the effect is more obvious. In addition, your running clear also has many uses and can easily determine the outcome of the battle.

Mu Zhengguang's guess was correct. At the moment the operation was activated, the other party was negatively affected, just like a person who was breathing normally suddenly stopped breathing. Although the "stop" lasted for a short time, its harm should not be underestimated!
Moreover, the nature of operating force and existence force is different, and the impact caused by operating clearance is more flexible. This makes Xu Ying much more "bolder" than Mu Zhengguang. As long as it is within the controllable limits, she has no psychological burden in using operating clearance.

Mu Zhengguang said: "I played a protracted battle because I didn't want to get hurt. The semi-finals arena is so small, which is very beneficial to me."

"Yeah, you can take care of your body, that's a good thing!" Then, Xu Ying changed the subject, "What do you think of your opponent's strength?"

"It's just average. The competitions nowadays are too unfair. As long as you have a knife or a sword, you can usually win a few games in a row. If you also have the ability to attack from a distance, it will be easy to advance to the semi-finals."

Mu Zhengguang mentioned this matter, and was slightly dissatisfied: People standing there with swords and knives are intimidating in themselves. If there are more swords and knives, they can even defeat the enemy without fighting. It's too unfair.

"Yes, you can see that. My goal is to win seventeen games in a row, and then win three more games after entering the finals. You don't have to set your goal too high, because there will be plenty of opportunities in the future anyway."

Yes, Xu Ying went around in circles, with the goal of lowering her classmates' psychological expectations. The opponents in the semifinals were average and not difficult to beat. The opponents in the finals were all geniuses picked from thousands of people. If you fight against these people with all your strength, you may win, but you may also get hurt, which is not good. It's just a competition, there's no need to fight to the death.

Mu Zhengguang understood: Even if you didn't say these words, I didn't set my goal too high. The future is unpredictable, so we should take it one step at a time. If we plan too far ahead, people will get tired.

He said: "Well, with the bonus points of 14 consecutive wins in the semi-finals, we are enough to exceed the full score. From then on, we can just go with the flow. But I am not the kind of person who will lose in the first game, right?"

Xu Ying said seriously: "It's okay to lose, it's just an empty reputation. You don't need a high score, just enough is enough."

"Of course. Just enough for you."

November 11th, there are three rounds of games today.

8：00~8：20，第十二轮。9：00~9：20，第十三轮。14：00~14：20，第十四轮。

Xie Dongxin was able to reach the twelfth round thanks to his real ability.

From the outside, he is 1.95 meters tall, which is a real skill. From the inside, he has superb dribbling skills, which is also a real skill, and his asymptotic set happens to be basketball.

Mu Zhengguang didn't pay much attention to his opponent's appearance. Through these rounds of competition, he developed a good habit: first find out whether the opponent is a close attack or a long attack.

But this time, he knew it without even asking. If basketball is a close-range attack, then the opponent relied on their size and physical strength to win 11 games in a row. Is this possible? Not likely. This theory can also be applied to people holding fans. Wooden folding fans are unlikely to cause effective damage, but if such people can appear in the semi-finals, they must have other advantages, such as long-range attack advantages.

A standard basketball court is 28 meters long and 15 meters wide. The semi-finals arena is a square with a side length of 50 meters, which is about the size of six basketball courts. Some professionals can shoot from 25 meters. After reaching the asymptote, their physical strength is enhanced, and 40 meters and 50 meters are possible. For this reason, Mu Zhengguang is more certain that the opponent's basketball is a long-range weapon. His speculation is completely accurate.

Xie Dongxin ran as fast as he could and threw the basketball, which flew across the court at a speed of 30m/s.

Mu Zhengguang is not a stationary basketball hoop. Being hit from dozens of meters away is nothing short of a fantasy!

The basketball froze instantly when it hit the ground, the ice shell cracked, and large and small pieces of ice debris covered the ground. Small pieces of broken ice slid more than ten meters on the tile floor, leaving long and thin water stains.

Mu Zhengguang was alert: Ice hockey? It must weigh at least three pounds, right? If I get hit, I'll probably have to go to the hospital. Fortunately, I was careful enough, and I didn't touch the basketball, so I wasn't injured.

Xie Dongxin's first attack was the most powerful. Some people, out of curiosity, could have avoided the basketball, but they had to come into close contact with it, and were slightly injured. In the previous eleven battles, four of them were one-hit kills. He was not discouraged by this failure, because he was just trying his luck.

Then, Mu Zhengguang saw another basketball in the man's hand. The old and the new alternate, seamless connection, unlimited endurance? Even so, there is nothing to be afraid of. The speed of the basketball is too slow, and you are too far away from me, it is impossible to hit it.

The puck kept hitting the ground, and the ground was covered with ice and water after just a dozen seconds. Mu Zhengguang struggled to keep his balance, which greatly reduced his speed. He truly experienced what it meant to be "walking on thin ice". In order to prevent himself from slipping and sliding out of the arena, he could only walk around the arena carefully.

There was only a small area on the playing field that was not affected by the ice water. Xie Dongxin stood in the waterless area, aimed, threw the ball, aimed again, and threw the ball again. This went on for about a dozen seconds.

Mu Zhengguang didn't dare to get too close to the man. If the distance between the two sides was reduced to ten meters, it would be difficult for him to avoid the attack of the ice ball on the slippery ground. He was very sure that the number of ice balls was limited. Everyone was at the same level, and it was unlikely that they could use the entity indefinitely. Wait, wait, wait until the opponent's basketball ran out, and then launch a counterattack.

After throwing more than twenty ice hockey pucks in succession, Xie Dongxin slammed the basketball to the ground, and the ice hockey broke under his feet. From then on, the entire stadium was soaked in ice water.

Xie Dongxin ran around the stadium, and a thin layer of ice formed wherever he walked. His shoes were designed for walking on ice, and this plan was not considered illegal or cheating, but at most "preparing for a rainy day", although this "rain" was caused by him. He walked on the ice with a steady pace. On the other hand, the opponent would fall if he was not careful.

Mu Zhengguang felt deeply that this man was really difficult to deal with: "You disrupted the competition, but this is just a trick. With these means alone, you can't reach the twelfth round. You must have hidden other tricks. I shouldn't act rashly before you show other tricks."

Xie Dongxin has three skills, three tricks. The first skill is dribbling, and the second skill is walking on the ice. The first trick is to freeze the basketball into an ice ball, and the second trick is to cover the ice wherever he passes.

Basketball and ice-making ability are completely unrelated, but Xie Dongxin is such a peculiar person with peculiar tricks. Especially his third skill and third move, which are the key to winning or losing at the same level.

The distance between the two was getting closer and closer. Mu Zhengguang weighed the hourglass, wondering if he could knock the opponent out of the arena with one punch: the force is mutual, and the opponent can walk freely on the ice, which shows that the friction is definitely not small. If you want to decide the winner with one punch, you must drive him to the edge of the arena. However, boxing is a close combat action. It is difficult to dodge the ice hockey if you are too close. It is very tricky!
He was thinking about how to sneak up on the man and launch a winning blow, but what happened next made him temporarily give up the idea of ​​close combat.

Xie Dongxin’s third special move is ice crystallization.

His body became transparent, like an ice sculpture, and the light from the chandelier refracted through the ice, making him look dazzling.

His third skill is a black belt in Taekwondo.

The reason why he practices Taekwondo is hard for most people to imagine. Although he is now 1.95 meters tall, he was relatively thin before junior high school. Since then, he has had a very conspicuous identity: a bully. Yes, he practices Taekwondo to better bully the weak, not to protect himself.

Mu Zhengguang didn't know the principle of his ice crystallization, but judging from his appearance, it probably made his body as hard as ice. In this case, he should not be too close to him.

But some things will not happen even if you don't want them to happen.
