Standing on the ring, looking at the calm opponent in front of him, Ma Baoguo felt a little nervous.
He subconsciously rubbed his palms on his trouser legs, trying to wipe away the sweat on his palms.
Land from.
Since the end of the Star Card Competition Eastern Region Budget Round, this guy has been well known for his card-making skills that are extremely inconsistent with his age.
If he could achieve such an achievement at such a young age, then behind Lu Li, there must be a super powerful teacher and even a powerful family.
The combination of various factors made Ma Baoguo unconsciously think of another genius girl.
——Lin Miaohan.
This little girl comes from a powerful family of star card masters, and her own star card talent is also extremely outstanding.
In just her sophomore year, Lin Miaohan had already reached level four and was successfully shortlisted for the Xinghai Academy training team.
At the same time, she has also made great achievements in card making and already holds the title of third-level card maker.
The Lu Li in front of him looked very similar to the genius girl from the Lin family.
"Lu Li is a freshman and Lin Miaohan is a sophomore. I think Lu Li will be like Lin Miaohan. Next year, he will be able to enter the training team's main selection seat without any pressure."
Ma Baoguo complained in a voice that only he could hear, trying to relieve the tension before the war: "The gap between people is really bigger than that between people and dogs. I will graduate in half a year and break through to the fourth level." This matter hasn’t even happened yet.”
"Speaking of which...if I defeat Lu Li here, can I leave a mark in this genius's autobiography - the legendary star card master Lu Li was defeated by his peer Ma Baoguo at Xinghai Academy."
"Hey, that's pretty cool."
"..."
Just when Xiao Ma was secretly relaxing, Lu Li also chose the initial position for the battle.
He stood at the very edge of the ring, the position farthest away from his opponent.
Seeing this, Ma Baoguo narrowed his eyes and analyzed in his mind, trying to formulate a strategy in a short period of time: "Is Lu Li a long-range star card master, or some kind of style that requires distance to use star cards..."
In fact, this is entirely Xiaoma's own imagination.
For Lu Li, a "younger brother" with no fighting experience, it seemed that he was pretty much the same wherever he stood.
He will stand in the farthest position simply because that is the "most likely place for him to react" and the safest choice.
"Both sides prepare! Three..."
Seeing that both sides had already stood at the corresponding positions, Captain Xiong, who acted as the referee, also began to count down.
Xiong Xiong's eyes swept across the entire arena, and finally landed on Lu Li. He was very curious about the fighting prowess of this talented young man.
The students watching the game around also held their breath and waited for the battle to begin.
For a moment, the atmosphere became tense.
In the broadcast room, Xia Youran, who was monitoring both sides of the battle, was holding a piece of potato chips in his hand and didn't speak. He wanted to know how far Lu Li could fight now.
"two!"
"one!"
"The battle begins!"
At the moment when the referee's countdown ended, both sides reacted.
On the surface of the star card between Ma Baoguo's fingers, a tiny thunder snake climbed up, and in an instant he had grasped his own star blade - the lightning whip.
However, Lu Li's movements seemed to be faster.
Everyone present did not even see the shining light of the star card, but a strange-looking weapon appeared in Lu Li's hand.
What a quick release!
Leader Xiong, who was standing in the VIP viewing area, was shocked, but then calmed down.
Lu Li can become the most skilled card maker among his peers, which shows that his mental control has reached an outrageous level, which will directly cause him to release star cards a little faster than others. .
Although it is only slightly faster, it cannot be ignored.
Because the Star Card Competition is a stage of fair competition, both parties will release Star Cards at the same time. Therefore, the side with a faster release can gain a slight advantage.
Especially like Lu Li and Ma Baoguo, the first star card they choose is the third-level star blade card. The one who releases the star card faster will have a greater advantage!
Just as Xiong Xiong thought, Lu Li made good use of this advantage, raised the gun blade in his hand, and pulled the trigger.
"Whoosh!"
A white light flew out from between the two sword blades.
The advantage brought by the release speed did not allow Lu Li to get close to the opponent and start a hand-to-hand fight, but he could seize this short gap to shoot first.
On the other side, Ma Baoguo was highly focused and his reaction was not slow.
After noticing Lu Li's unusually fast release speed, his body immediately started running, barely dodging the bullets that came through the air.
What a quick release of speed!
What a strange weapon!
Ma Baoguo was surprised in his heart.
From the outside, it looks like a long sword for melee combat, but it can launch long-range attacks.
This insidious operation is just like...just like Instructor Xia.
It seems that the starlight cannot be seen, and it is very similar to the extremely fast release speed.
Could it be that Lu Li is Instructor Xia's direct disciple?
However, Ma Baoguo knew that now was not the time to think divergently.
He gathered his mind, tapped the ground with his right foot, lowered his body and jumped out quickly, while holding the star blade in his right hand and waving it forward.
"Zizzizi."
Thunder and lightning broke through the sky, leaving a shining light and shadow in the sky.
The whip is a mid-range weapon. When facing opponents with long-range attacks, you must close the distance as quickly as possible. When facing opponents with melee attacks, you must try to use the distance advantage of the long side.
Ma Baoguo's sudden advance controlled the distance just right.
While he was on guard against Lu Li's long-range attacks, he kept the distance between the two of them just within the attack distance of the lightning whip, preventing Lu Li from launching a hand-to-hand combat immediately.
"Whoosh!"
The long whip quickly reached out.
Facing the attack that was coming in an instant, Lu Li lowered his center of gravity habitually, took a half step forward with his right foot, grasped the hilt of the sword tightly with both hands, and controlled the blade to draw a crescent moon in the air.
Pick up.
This is an extremely standard upward move, a textbook-level move.
Standing on the referee's bench, Captain Xiong's eyelids twitched, and he was surprised again.
From this simple movement, it can be seen that Lu Li's basic skills in swordsmanship are extremely solid.
Sure enough, genius not only requires outstanding talent, but also requires countless sweat.
God knows what kind of training Lu Li went through to achieve such a dazzling achievement today!
In the arena, Lu Li's response was completely subconscious.
He wanted to use his upper body to sweep away the opponent's five lightning whips.
However, what Lu Li didn't expect was that Chi Chi's whip moved slightly, like a dexterous thunder snake climbing onto the sword's blade.
Then, a pain of electric shock came from the sword, making Lu Li unconsciously let go of his hand.
"Bang!"
The gun blade fell to the ground with a crisp sound.
