Alice in the Land of Steam
Chapter 890: Was the battle fierce?
Chapter 890: Was the battle fierce?
Alice never expected that her first opponent would be a little boy who looked only twelve or thirteen years old, with blond hair, blue eyes, dark skin, freckles on his face, and a childish look.
This discovery made Alice overjoyed, because she was a shameless person who wished her opponent was as weak as possible. If her opponent was not weak, how could she highlight her own strength?
"The strong must trample on the weak!"
She said something unsportsmanlike with an arrogant look on her face, leaving everyone speechless.
"Well, you'd better be cautious, Alice." Xino had to remind her: "Although the age difference can indeed give you advantages in strength and stamina, skills and awareness are not included. And I heard that clubs are now beginning to pay attention to youth training. Children who have received professional training are not necessarily weaker than adults. One of their major advantages lies in their unrestrained creativity."
"Don't worry! When it comes to creativity, I'm not bad either!"
Alice waved her hands and said carelessly, "Besides, I have a secret weapon! With this, who can be my opponent!"
She raised the racket in her hand, looking like she was the best. This racket was not the one she had used for training before, but a brand new one. Although it looked no different from an ordinary racket, she knew with her toes that there must be something special hidden inside.
Linger glanced at Rorona in the crowd, who pushed down her glasses and gave him a sweet smile.
"Ugh!"
Unexpectedly, although it was only the first round of the qualifiers, and neither side was famous, the attendance rate of the stadium was quite good. About 80% of the 1,500-person spectator seats were filled, and the small stadium was packed. Among these spectators, the majority were local residents of the town. They didn't care whether the game was exciting or the players were famous. They just came to join in the fun because the stadium was right at their doorstep and they had more free time. A few were tourists from other places who couldn't get tickets for the popular games, so they settled for the next best thing and came to watch two unknown players play. If they happened to run into some unpopular but powerful players, they could brag about their wisdom in identifying talents, seeing the potential of this player when he was unknown, and supporting him all the time, and being his fans for ten years...
She held the racket with one hand, bent her knees, pushed the ground, threw the ball upward with the other hand, and then straightened her knees. Her body was compressed to the extreme like a full bow and then rebounded, pouring all her strength into the racket in her hand. At this moment, you can even see the appearance of each silk thread on the racket quickly tightening and rebounding when it touches the ball. After a standard serve, the wind flower ball hit hard by the racket suddenly flew straight to the other side of the half court like a striking white line tearing the wind, accompanied by the arrogant voice of the genius player: "Scarlet Demon King, use your undefeated flames that destroy the world to burn everything in the world to ashes, take this ball of mine - the impact of the world-devouring fire! !"
Soon, the match between Alice and the little boy named Alex Alecher officially began. At the reminder of the on-site staff, the audience became quiet and everyone stared at the court intently, hoping to see an exciting game.
A large group of people came to the audience, including not only humans, but also travellers, fairies, vampires, silver elves and other alien races. If the Inquisition or the Night Watch saw this scene, they would be horrified. But Isolde was just a small town, without any churches of the seven great gods, and Gloria's ability was still in effect, so it didn't cause much commotion.
Without giving everyone much time to chat, a staff member soon found Alice and asked her to go to the player lounge to prepare. The game would officially start in ten minutes. The confident genius player waved goodbye to her friends and left with the staff member. Everyone silently watched her disappear behind the player tunnel until they could no longer see her. Then they turned their eyes away and headed for the audience.
In fact, the two of them didn't know that Alice was using a kind of "Chuunibyou" that only boys and girls of a certain age could understand. Its biggest feature was that it relied on words to superimpose the fantasy in the mind on one's own momentum, thus achieving the effect of strength, power, and dominance. It is said that the darker the heart, the deeper the background, and the more adept at fantasy a person's soul is, the more handy they are in using Chuunibyou. This is the so-called dark and profound fantasy...
The wind flower ball rubbed against the air, tearing apart the sound of the wind. The high-speed rotation of the sphere even caused the surrounding air to distort. The scorching heat turned into red flames, which popped out and expanded in an instant to be like a small sun, rushing towards its enemy. The blazing red flames seemed to ignite, melt, and evaporate everything around it...
Alice served in the first game. She seemed to be very proud of being the center of attention. She tossed the white wind flower ball a few times and did not choose to serve immediately. Instead, she showed a classic villain smile to the little boy who was waiting behind the net: "Hehe, you are a brat who wants to challenge me, Alice? There has never been such a funny thing since the goddess created the world! But your courage is indeed worthy of praise, so let me lift the seal of the dark circuit and use the power of the legendary Scarlet End Demon King who once destroyed the world to blast you to pieces! Hehe!"
Not surprisingly, the female player on the opposite side obviously used a lot of strength when serving. She should have wanted to rely on her strength advantage to win, which is a tactic many people often adopt when facing opponents younger than themselves. But the reason why Alex was able to successfully obtain the amateur certificate despite his age disadvantage shows that he is not only talented, but also very clear about how to avoid his weaknesses.
Originally, Alice didn't want to use this ability, but today was her first battle after all, and she wanted to win beautifully. Therefore, even though she felt a little sorry for the little boy Alex, she still resolutely used this trump card, and achieved satisfactory results as expected.
The rest were relatives and friends like Lingge. At first, the young man thought that Alice had asked so many people to cheer for her just because she had nothing to do. Until he saw that the other player's cheering seats were filled with a lot of people, not only parents, relatives, teachers and classmates, but probably even aunts and uncles. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart that he was indeed short-sighted and not as far-sighted as Alice.
"What, what Crimson Devil!?" The little boy Alex was so scared that his face turned pale. I just came to participate in a tryout, how could I encounter such a horrible thing? Blast to pieces, how can that be considered a wind flower ball! ?
The referee on the sidelines also frowned deeply. On the court, using trash talk to influence or even disrupt the opponent's state is a permitted tactic. Therefore, when Alice spoke just now, although he felt that it was somewhat shameless to trash talk a child, he still did not stop her. But Alice's trash talk was far beyond his expectations. In his more than ten years of refereeing career, it was the first time he encountered such a maverick player. Was this considered a personal threat?
“Hehehe, weak human, you start trembling just by hearing the name of the Crimson End Demon King? You are so weak.” Alice shook her head, and then a gleam of light flashed in her eyes: “But you should feel honored to witness my full strength with your own eyes—”
Facing the fierce attack from the Crimson End Demon King, Alex turned pale and swallowed hard, but he did not lose his composure. After determining the landing point of the ball, he realized that it was impossible to catch it with his current position, so he quickly took small steps back, turned around and chased back while lowering his body center of gravity, then raised his forehand to meet the impact of the World Devouring Infernal Fire. As soon as the racket touched the flying wind flower ball, a huge force was transmitted along the grip to his wrist, making his palm slightly numb.
The effect of force is mutual. Since you choose to serve hard, the speed of the corresponding return and chase will be slowed down, and most power players are not flexible enough to support them to get rid of the short-term stiffness, so -
Alex moved his wrist slightly, adjusted the strength, and applied a hidden inward rotation force to the wind flower ball while hitting it back. Alice only saw a flash of white light in front of her eyes. She subconsciously gripped the racket to chase it, but the ball bounced off the sideline from a tricky angle.
"Beep!" The referee blew the whistle: "Alex, score a point!" After saying that, he wiped the sweat from his forehead. Why am I sweating just as the game started? Is there really such a thing as the Scarlet End Demon King and the Invincible Flame that destroys the world?
"Well!"
Alice had a bad start. She looked at the ball that hit the side net and then fell to the ground, slowly rolling back to her, with an expression of disbelief on her face. After a while, she turned her head sharply and looked at her opponent with gritted teeth: "This power - could it be that you are the heir chosen by the Overlord of the Deep Blue Galaxy? I didn't expect that you actually inherited his endless space-time power that distorts cause and effect, and in this way avoided the ball I was determined to score, and at the same time completed the counterattack. It seems that you, the heir, are much stronger than your teacher. Hehe, is this what is called a disciple surpassing the master!"
At that time, Alex’s expression was like this: “???”
What is the Deep Blue Galaxy Overlord? What is the endless space-time power that distorts cause and effect? Can you be normal, my friend? My teacher is watching in the audience, and he teaches me mathematics. He has nothing to do with the wind flower ball, okay!
The corners of the referee's mouth twitched: First it was the Crimson End Demon King, then the Deep Blue Galaxy Overlord, our small Rogrim Stadium is really full of talented people.
In fact, the two people did not know that this was another way of using "Chuuni Language". Through the power of one's own dark and deep fantasy, one could lead the other party into the field set by oneself. People with weak willpower would often doubt themselves because of shame and thus fail to exert their true strength. Even if a person with strong willpower accepted this setting in turn, when he began to use "Chuuni Language", he had invisibly boosted Alice's momentum. Moreover, once entering the field of "Chuuni Language", the Scarlet Doom Demon King was confident that he could defeat any opponent!
“If that’s the case, then there’s nothing we can do!” Alice lowered her head, her bangs covering her eyes, making it impossible to see the expression on her face. All one could hear was a series of disdainful sneers, which looked very evil: “The only thing we can do is to unlock the second layer of the Dark Circuit of the Scarlet End Demon King. Then, let me show you the terrifying destructive power of the Invincible Flame after it evolves into the Dark Demon Flame!”
Doesn't the name make it worse?
Alex complained in his heart, but he didn't dare to say it out loud, for fear of being labeled as the remnant of the Deep Blue Galaxy Overlord. He carefully glanced at the referee on the sidelines, and after confirming that the right to serve had been transferred to him, he got into a serving posture, exerted force with his feet and wrists, and simply hit a forehand shot. The wind flower ball flew through the air, dragging a fluttering tail under the golden sunlight.
Alex's forehand was flat and fast. Although it lacked impact and finishing power due to his strength, he also knew his weaknesses, so he added more changes to the ball when serving. He predicted the ball's landing point and sent it directly to the sideline. He saw that Alice's position was a little forward and she lacked care for the backcourt area, so he hoped to score directly before she chased the ball and hit back, so as to keep the initiative in his hands.
But the moment this thought came into his mind, his eyes blurred and he saw Alice's figure suddenly appear in the path of the wind flower ball, and she had already assumed a batting posture, ready to go!
when! ?
Alex's pupils suddenly contracted, while Alice's mouth showed a disdainful smile: "Heir to the Deep Blue Galaxy Overlord, you are so careless. Do you think I didn't notice your little trick? The Cosmic Explosion Batting Method of the Heavenly Overlord School is indeed well-deserved, but your skills are far from enough! Then you will be defeated by the Eternal Darkness Demon Flame of the second layer of this Dark Circuit!"
Wait, you just said it was the Dark Flame, right? And am I not the heir of the Deep Blue Galaxy Overlord? What about the Cosmic Explosion Hitting Method of the Heavenly Overlord School? Why do you use such a cool move to play?
The little boy was shocked and complained madly in his mind, but it was too late. The blazing dark flames were gushing out of Alice's body, covering her body in an instant, even wrapping the racket in her hand, and gradually forming an image of a dark giant with his arms folded across his chest, looking majestic without anger. The giant blocked out the sky and almost completely covered the sky above the court. With a cold and empty gaze, he looked down at the tiny ants under his feet. The aura he exuded was cold, arrogant and high-handed. It was obviously the form of the Crimson Abyss Demon King who had unlocked the second layer of the dark circuit.
Who in the world can resist such a terrifying and domineering demon god! ?
Alex was trembling, while Alice was laughing wildly. She stepped forward with her left foot and drew a standard semicircle with her right foot as the center. At the same time, she swung the arm holding the racket backwards, drawing a beautiful and sharp arc in the air. All her energy was poured into this ball reception. With unparalleled momentum, she swung the racket in her hand synchronously with the dark giant behind her. In an instant, black light flashed, the void twisted, and the entire space seemed to be cut in two. In the bottomless dark rift, dark demonic flames were boiling.
The entire stadium fell silent at this moment. The spectators who had originally thought they were just there to join in the fun opened their eyes wide and witnessed a miracle unfold with their own eyes.
"call!"
This is the sound of a racket swinging in the air.
"boom!"
This is the sound of the ball bouncing back after it hits the ground.
"Eh?"
These were the doubtful and surprised voices uttered by Alex and the Scarlet End Demon King behind Alice.
"Uh."
This was the referee's voice trying to confirm whether he was dazzled or not. However, he quickly came to his senses, coughed twice to hide his embarrassment, and announced the result of this confrontation in a deep voice: "Alice made a mistake in receiving the ball. Therefore, according to the rules, Deep Blue Galaxy Overlord... No, I mean Alex gets one point. In the next game, the serve will be transferred to Alice."
"..."
Roglim Stadium fell into an awkward silence.
