Chapter 9 The Final Battle of the Preliminary Round

11月7日，9：00~9：40，初赛第五轮。

The playing field has changed from a circle to two overlapping circles. Without considering the thickness of the disc, the distance between the centers of the two circles is the radius. The playing field area has expanded from 1257 square meters to 2022 square meters. The two opposing teams are located at the center of the circle, 20 meters apart.

Mu Zhengguang activated the domain blessing, concentrating his attention and preparing for battle.

Gu Lingfan held a long sword, the hilt was snow-white and the blade was silver-white.

Unlike Shang Yu who temporarily learned origami and Ma Mingyang who suddenly signed up for a class to practice Rubik's Cube, Gu Lingfan has been studying swordsmanship for a year. Although the results are not outstanding, it is enough to scare ordinary people.

Mu Zhengguang was not sure whether the long sword was for close combat or long-range attack. After all, the Rubik's Cube could attack from a distance, and it was possible for the long sword to release two sword energies. In addition, the long sword was a sharp weapon, and he did not dare to hastily send people out of the arena by relying on his speed advantage. If he was injured during the fight, it would affect his performance in the afternoon, which was a small matter. The main thing was that it would cause pain to his body, which he tried his best to avoid.

Whether he can attack from a distance or not, he will know after a test. Mu Zhengguang retreated to the right and quickly opened up the gap.

Gu Lingfan saw the other party running away quickly, and for no reason he felt a little unconfident: My sword energy can only reach within four meters, which is 1/10 of the domain radius. You are so far away from me, do you have a more efficient long-range attack method?

Gu Lingfan was very worried that the opponent would be able to attack from a distance, so he walked to the midpoint of the line connecting the centers of the two circles and did not move forward any further.

Mu Zhengguang took two more steps back, secretly delighted: You are still in the domain, that's easy! More than 20 meters away, even if you can attack from a distance, I am sure I can dodge, unless your attack is instantaneous and automatically aimed.

Mu Zhengguang was waiting, he was not in a hurry to act. Gu Lingfan hesitated, was afraid, and did not dare to act. The two of them were in a stalemate for about a minute.

The mechanism of all withdrawal in case of a tie means that it is difficult for the two participating teams to coexist peacefully. The temporary lull is to build up momentum for the subsequent tension.

Another minute passed, and Gu Lingfan changed his mind: Am I being too cautious? If you could beat me, you would have already done it. If you don't move, you must be helpless. Besides, I have weapons, and you don't, so I really shouldn't be afraid of you!

The two men charged at almost the same time, and the distance between them was reduced dramatically, which was beyond Gu Lingfan's expectation. He moved the sword tip, but before he could aim, his wrist was grabbed. The hand was like an eagle's claw, and his wrist was like a snake under the sharp eagle's claw. He tried his best but couldn't break free from the suppression of his natural enemy. He loosened his right hand and prepared to take the sword with his left hand, without aiming, and attacked directly.

The acceleration timer was 10%, the domain blessing was 150%, and the countdown was 2/60. With the three combined, Mu Zhengguang's movements were much faster than his opponent. The man wanted to switch hands to use the sword, but it was impossible. He retracted his left hand and pushed forward, causing his opponent to step back several steps. The long sword fell to the ground and was picked up by him.

Gu Lingfan was defeated repeatedly and had no strength to fight again. He said dejectedly: "I give up. What a pity, I still have a big move that I can't use."

Mu Zhengguang threw the sword sideways. He won easily and was in a good mood: "I'll return your sword to you."

Your ultimate move is none of my business. The game is over. What does it matter how many ultimate moves you have?

The atmosphere was so intense that Gu Lingfan was determined to carry on with the performance. He caught the sword, threw the key into the air, raised the sword, a white light flashed, and the key "flew" again.

Mu Zhengguang stopped walking, his face was solemn and serious: I didn't realize your sword was so dangerous! The tip of the sword was about three meters away from the key. A bunch of keys weighs more than 100 grams. You can aim and hit it with just a raise of your hand. With such a high skill, you could have gone further. But unfortunately, you met me, so you can only stop at the fifth round.

He gave the man a thumbs-up as a sign of approval.

Gu Lingfan suddenly felt out of control, and he realized that he had been too aggressive today. After using his ultimate move, his heart was untied, and he felt suddenly enlightened, and realized a completely different strategy: ride the wind and waves and move forward courageously.

Sometimes, a person may only need the most inconspicuous opportunity to make a "huge" change.

Mu Zhengguang opened his phone and saw at a glance that classmate Ying had sent him a message a minute ago.

"I won again, how about you?"

You and I started the race at the same time. It took me two minutes, but you were one minute faster than me. Another instant win! Your strength matches your personality very well!
"I won too, keep up the good work."

While waiting for a reply, Mu Zhengguang checked the class group again, but there was no new valuable information. Lu Hao's battle situation had not been reported yet, and the outcome was still unknown. However, the confession wall alumni group had heard the good news of five consecutive wins, and there were quite a lot of them.

Xu Ying replied: "Although I won, was it smooth?" "No injuries at all, it went very smoothly. How about you?"

"I'm fine too. Keep going."

"as you wish."

15:00~15:40, sixth round of preliminary round.

Unlike the two circular platforms in the morning, the afternoon's competition field consists of three platforms, with three circles intersecting at the center, covering an area of ​​2578 square meters. In a loose sense, the larger the competition field, the more disadvantageous it is for Mu Zhengguang.

Mu Zhengguang and Li Guanghui were very close to each other. Both of them were in the overlapping part of the three circles, only three meters apart.

The organizers’ intentions were obvious: this was the final round of the preliminary round, so they wanted to bring the contestants closer together, start their confrontation sooner, reduce their thinking time, and prevent “battle of wits” as much as possible.

Li Guanghui thinks he has it easy this time: Although those who can make it to the sixth round must have some real skills, it is too low-class for you to hold an hourglass.

He held a steel pipe in his hand, with electric light running through it, surging like the tide. It was obvious at first glance that he was quite capable.

Mu Zhengguang was calm and said: The electrified steel pipe is very scary, but no matter what weapon you use, the victory of this game can only belong to me, and I will never stop here.

He planned to use a different tactic in this match. The field was large and the spacing was small, so the countdown was not very useful, but the hourglass itself could be used as a weapon.

The first confrontation between the two occurred one second after the fight began.

The hourglass collided with the steel pipe and the glass shell broke.

Mu Zhengguang had the bonus of domain blessing, and his thinking and action speed were ahead of ordinary people. He grabbed the largest piece of debris and pressed it against his opponent's neck, and clenched his left fist to attack the opponent's right hand holding the steel pipe.

Li Guanghui didn't have time to think, but he had already made the move. He turned the steel pipe, and one end of the steel pipe touched the man's arm, blue light splashed, and electricity surged.

Mu Zhengguang's hand trembled, and the glass fragments scratched the man's neck, leaving a short bright blood mark.

Li Guanghui increased the current, and electric light flowed on the steel pipe like balls of blue flames.

The first electric shock had a high voltage and a low current. Although it was not fatal, it could instantly make a person lose their ability to resist. Mu Zhengguang was strengthened and did not faint from the pain, but he was still slightly out of control.

The second shock lasted much longer than the first and had a higher voltage. The high-voltage arc passing through human muscles felt like being pierced through by burning steel needles, and the numbness and pain caused by the current was enough to cause shock.

Mu Zhengguang's arms were covered with red spots and burn marks. His heart beat very fast, not only because of the pain, but also because of anger: Your injuries are no less severe than mine, and the pain you endure is no less than mine. My injury is just a prelude. According to the rules of the game, no, according to my principles, I can naturally chase you!
The fact was just as he thought. Li Guanghui's situation was much worse. Blood was flowing down the glass. Although it was not to the extent of pouring blood, the dripping "knocking" sound continued, which made people feel more stressed.

Mu Zhengguang let go and the glass fell.

Li Guanghui came to his senses, but his thinking was a beat slower. He reacted instinctively: he stretched out his left hand to grab the glass.

This move was unwise. The opponent had nothing in his hands, which was a perfect opportunity for a sneak attack, but he failed to seize it.

A person holding a long sword cannot change hands to use the weapon in front of Mu Zhengguang, but on the other hand, Mu Zhengguang can easily do this when facing the enemy.

He punched the opponent's left hand with his right fist, and at the same time, he used his left hand to slash the opponent's right hand with the shard. His all-round attack achieved remarkable results: the opponent took two steps back, and the steel pipe fell to the ground. He chased after him and put the glass shard close to the man's neck again: "You admit defeat."
