Chapter 58: Water and Fire Can Meet

"Make a fire, add the power of the elements, and let's do it again."

Ying's voice traveled across the light and wind to Mu Zhengguang's ears. He was enthusiastic and answered cheerfully, "I've had this idea for a long time."

Since he reached the second level, he always carries a lighter with him and a flamethrower in his schoolbag. He got on the train at the station entrance, and his schoolbag did not pass the security check, so he brought the flamethrower with him.

Mu Zhengguang lit the fire without hesitation, even though this was a forest. But if it was a different forest, he would not dare to use the flamethrower casually, in case it caused a forest fire, it would be difficult to end. However, this place was close to the water source and it was the man's own territory. Even if there was a small accident and burned a forest, he was confident that he could suppress the fire.

The flamethrower purchased online was originally intended to be used as a tool for baking food and lighting charcoal fires, and the fire was limited. But it was fire after all, and after being strengthened by Mu Zhengguang's "hand", it could be used as a weapon.

The golden flames grew stronger and stronger. Mu Zhengguang reminded him, "It's time to start."

"it is good."

Xu Ying waited for a while, and she let the other party summon the jellyfish first: I was the first in the first round, and I have to let you take the lead in the second round.

At the moment when the moon jellyfish took shape again, the gold fire was rendered azure blue. This did not mean that the flames were heating up, nor did it necessarily cool down, but rather that the temperature was balanced and adjusted.

The blue fire is like the sea, leaping like the tide. Mu Zhengguang used fire to dye the moon jellyfish. The shape and posture of the jellyfish remained unchanged, but under the blessing of the flowing flame, it was like a burning blue star hanging high in the sky, releasing its light and heat with all its might, and changing like the moonlight.

Mu Zhengguang had to manually make fire to mobilize the fire element, but it was easy for Xu Ying to mobilize the water element because there was a lake next to her. She took water from the lake, made a dark blue water ball, and combined the lake water with the firework jellyfish.

Fire like water, water like fire, the two collided in the sky. The high-temperature steam was dotted with blue light, illusory and blurry. Looking up, it looked like a blue cloud. Balls of blue fire fell gently to the ground, the grass and trees burned, and wisps of green smoke floated.

There is no difference in ability between the two, but in specific circumstances, especially this kind of direct impact that does not rely on speed, Mu Zhengguang has more advantages, but the collision between the two jellyfish is evenly matched.

There are clouds in the sky, smoke rising from the ground, water and fire coming together, it is a wonderful thing beyond words.

But there was one bad thing: it took the two of them an hour to clean up the fire.

It is a very scary thing for a fire to appear in the forest. If you insert a small wooden stick with a spark into a bottle with oxygen, the small wooden stick will reignite. Mu Zhengguang's blue fire is much more dangerous than the spark on the small wooden stick. Even if a heavy rain falls, it may not be able to extinguish all the fire.

When the two jellyfish collided, about ten kilograms of lake water boiled, and the high-temperature steam exploded in the air, and then cooled down to form fog. The fire was washed by the water mist to all parts of the forest, covering a very wide range.

Both existence cleanup and operation cleanup can eliminate the fire at the source, but the efficiency is not high, so you need to spend more effort.

Zhao Zhuojin, who was standing far away and watching the battle, saw a huge blue cloud rising into the sky. It seemed to be a dark cloud? The blue cloud quickly turned into water drops and fell down. There seemed to be light in the rain, illuminating the water curtain. She was far away and couldn't see clearly. She waited for a while and returned only after seeing no more movement.

Xu Ying asked her to wait at the side. Fire is hidden in the soil, on leaves, and even in wood. Even if you can find the fire, it is difficult to eliminate all the fire without a large-scale essential attack method. We have to redo the work in the places you have swept, which is not worth the loss.

The two were very satisfied with the results of this test.

After all the fires were extinguished, Xu Ying thanked Zhao Zhuojin: "Thank you for providing the venue."

Zhao Zhuojin quickly declined: "There's nothing to thank me for. If it weren't for you, I might not have made it to the finals after being ambushed."

After the evaluation issue was resolved, Xu Ying and Mu Zhengguang stopped a car on the roadside and returned to Pinglin County.

At this time, three girls reached the top of Tengwang Pavilion.

King of the Yangtze River, Zhang Qiuying.

Zhang Qiuying’s spokesperson, Yu Chen.

The person chosen by Yu Chen, Xie Xintong.

Yu Chen wanted to collect some "factors" from the "number one in the world" to fill in the cumulative variables.

There is only one person who is “number one in the world”, and there is only one chance to choose in advance.

Yu Chen chose Xie Xintong. She thought Xie Xintong was very likely to defeat Zhao Tianyu and become the new number one in the world. Then she would be able to gain an "unbeatable" factor. Zhang Qiuying wanted to know if this method of strengthening was feasible, so she came. Once a high-ranking ancient like Yu Chen was strengthened, it would be extraordinary. It might take another two or three years to collect all twelve phoenix feathers, but "number one in the world" would become a certainty in a few days, so she came in person.

The next day, Mu Zhengguang and Xu Ying took the high-speed train to Youlong City. As soon as they left the station, they saw someone wearing a red vest holding a red pick-up sign that read "The Second Modeling Competition Pick-up Team".

"It's a bit like welcoming an important person." Mu Zhengguang took out his phone and took a photo. "No wonder the email only mentioned the arrival time but didn't mention the location of the stadium. It turns out that someone needs to pick me up."

Xu Ying smiled and said, "If it were me, no, if I were a bad person..."

Mu Zhengguang subconsciously defended her: "Ah? Remove the 'I'."

"If you remove the 'I' the sentence won't make sense. Let me put it another way. If there are bad guys among the organizers, will they plant a bomb on the car or send people to a place where there is a bomb?"

Mu Zhengguang looked embarrassed: "Uh... not really. Blowing up the contestants is boring and it's easy to have accidents."

"Hmm... makes sense. Let's go and see where they're sending us."

Xu Ying walked towards the reception team and greeted the people there.

After some communication, the two verified the identity of the contestants, and some enthusiastic people helped them carry their luggage and backpacks and took them to the bus.

There were only a dozen people in the bus, and there were plenty of empty seats, but after they got on, the bus started. The bus drove to a large hotel in the city, where the contestants gathered and waited for the next round of transportation.

At 5:24 on May 22, the institute sent hundreds of windowless cars to pick up the contestants from their hotels in batches. Before that, someone checked their luggage and confiscated all electronic devices, including headphones and chargers.

After getting on the bus, the staff distributed envelopes one by one.

Mu Zhengguang opened the envelope, revealing a magnetic card, a manual, and a silver square plate.

He looked through the manual, which said that the magnetic card could be used to open doors and make purchases, and was an important part of the "digital training base." The six digits on the magnetic card meant: floor + house number. The eight digits meant: game time + venue.

070352，25163004。地下七层，352号房间。5月25日16：30，4号赛场。

He continued to look back.

"The finals will be held at the Asymptote Training Base... The base is divided into an above-ground area and an underground area. The competition venue is on the ground, and the living area is in the underground area. Try not to stay in the above-ground area during non-competition periods..."

手册里还标明了赛程安排：5月25日~26日，决赛第一轮，8：00~12：00、14：00~18：00、20：00~22：40，两天，六个时间段，1280分钟，128场比赛。

There are 18 competition venues in the competition area, from which the number of participants can be calculated: 4608. This makes Mu Zhengguang feel that there seems to be a big conspiracy brewing: the numbers are regularized, which means a lot. What did the organizers do? What do they want to do? Even the number of people is fixed, so can they match each person with a specific opponent?

Xu Ying and Mu Zhengguang secretly exchanged magnetic cards and wrote down each other's room numbers. After arriving at the destination, the two did not travel together to "avoid suspicion."

Mu Zhengguang saw a tall and wide cylindrical building.

He felt that he was increasingly confused about the arrangement of the competition: the base was built in the mountains for the purpose of keeping it secret, which was understandable. However, this base was so huge, could it really be hidden? Just looking at the description in the book, the ground part of the base was 650 meters in diameter and 540 meters high, which did not seem too grand. But seeing it in person was a completely different experience. The base was so huge that it was not an exaggeration to say that it was a small mountain.

Enter the base and take the elevator downstairs. Mu Zhengguang walked around the corridor according to the house number. He became more and more annoyed: there are thousands of rooms on one floor, all separated from each other, and the appearance is basically the same. Who designed this structure?

Because he had handed in his phone, he didn't know how long it took him to find the room. He swiped his magnetic card on the door handle and the door opened.

Mu Zhengguang entered the dormitory to check if there were any unidentified objects. His answer was: No.

He was very surprised: you were so defensive in the last competition, why are you so "generous" this time? Did the purpose or nature of the competition change?
Mu Zhengguang has many guesses, which will be verified one by one in the future.

The dormitory was spacious and had all the necessary functions and facilities. Mu Zhengguang noticed the LCD screen in the living room. The screen showed his name, the time of the game, and the current time and temperature.

The manual states that the organizers communicate information to the contestants through the display screen. Without a mobile phone, it is really inconvenient to do things! What if someone can destroy other people's display screens through the wall?
