Level three arena.
The original group of four people chatting together became two people.
Liu Yichen was preparing for the knockout rounds, and Hu Yueya was preparing for the final resurrection match. The two hit it off and went to the training ground next door to practice together.
Ma Baoguo was left alone, and he pretended to be a "brother who understands" and gave Lu Li some information about Lu Qianxing.
Lu Li listened attentively, silently thinking about the tactics for the next game.
Xiong Xiong could think of the issue about [Vibrating Knife], and Lu Li could naturally think of it too.
When facing an earth armor with an attack attribute of 0, the vibrating sword cannot work at all.
Therefore, Lu Li decisively gave up carrying this card and instead considered the possibility of using other second-level star cards.
"You...are Lu Li, right?"
A deep voice interrupted Lu Li's thinking.
Lu Li reflexively looked in the direction of the sound source, and Ma Baoguo immediately stopped talking.
The owner of the voice was a tall, muscular young man with an eye-catching beauty peak in front of his neat crew cut. There was a trace of solidified blood on his face, and coupled with the scar on his chest, he looked particularly ferocious.
The visitor was none other than Lu Qianxing, who had just been promoted from the seventh group.
Now that there was no barrier from the electronic screen, Lu Li could smell an obvious chilling aura from him.
However, Lu Li was not frightened by the battle. He calmly nodded and said, "It's me."
Lu Qianxing didn't speak. He just stared at Lu Li for a long time with a straight face, and then showed a simple and honest smile, which was in huge contrast to his previous image.
"Hello." The young man with a flat head stretched out his hand, grabbed Lu Li's right hand, and introduced himself enthusiastically, "I am Lu Qianxing. I am your sect and your opponent in the next match. The resident card is the Star Blade Card [Earth War]. A], it’s a pleasure to play against you.”
"Hello..." Lu Li was obviously shocked by the contrast between Lu Qianxing's behavior.
This guy is a tough guy in battle, but in reality he's a fool?
The contrast is too great.
"I really didn't expect it." Lu Qianxing grabbed Lu Li's hand and held on tightly. "I didn't expect that you, who looked so gentle and polite, like a full-time card maker, could be so good at fighting. You even knocked Chen Juntao down. Already!"
"Crash."
Lu Qianxing's voice was a bit loud, and the person involved, Chen Juntao, heard it clearly. For a moment, he was so angry that he failed to control the torrent flying fish, causing its splash to be a bit bigger and wet a large area.
"Buzz~"
After sensing that the ground is slippery, the drying card set up in the player preparation room begins to operate.
"Ahem."
The air became anxious, and Lu Qianxing obviously noticed something was wrong. He immediately changed the topic and said, "Anyway, let's play well in the next game. I hope we can provide everyone with an extremely exciting duel."
"Okay, I will try my best." Lu Li said with a slight smile.
After a few words of greeting, Lu Qianxing left, saying that he had to wash his face first, otherwise the blood on his face would be scary.
"This Lu Qianxing..." Lu Li looked at the leaving figure of the crew-cut young man and was about to speak.
"It's very different from what you imagined, isn't it?" Ma Baoguo added the unfinished sentence with a smile, "That's the kind of person he is. When fighting, he looks like an irrational ferocious beast; but once he leaves the battle, he Just a heartless idiot."
"It's a bit unexpected indeed." Lu Li smiled and shook his head, "I thought he would have a more vicious personality."
"Hey, Lao Lu is actually very easy to get along with." Ma Baoguo put down the empty bottle and said, "I won't chat with you anymore. I'm going to prepare for the resurrection match. I have to win one today, otherwise it will be a bit embarrassing. .”
Afterwards, Xiao Ma left to his own devices, leaving Lu Li standing alone, lost in thought again.
...
Time passed, and when the sun was setting in the west, the members of the twelfth group
The last battle is finally over.
Unsurprisingly, seeded player Jiang Ying became the final winner of the group and the last player to advance to the knockout rounds.
"The group stage is all over."
"The knockout competition will begin soon. Students who want to participate, please be prepared."
Xia Youran's lazy voice sounded again from the broadcast above the arena and in the players' preparation room.
The audience, who were still chatting, and the contestants who were cramming were all attracted by this voice.
"Swish, swish, swish..."
On the electronic screen, the list of six knockout matches was immediately displayed.
Almost everyone immediately focused their attention on the fourth line of text.
——The first knockout round, the fourth game, Lu Qianxing VS Lu Li.
This battle between two continents has become the focus of everyone's attention.
The remaining battles were unremarkable, and the outcome of the duel could even be seen from the names.
But the fourth matchup was different. Both sides were students with the ability of seeded players.
The former is a veteran and strong among the third-level students. Since the first batch of training teams were selected this year, Lu Qianxing has never been out of the training team roster.
The latter is the darkest dark horse in this selection. Lu Li fought his way out of the death group and killed another seeded player in the process. His strength cannot be underestimated.
Since Xinghai Academy held the selection competition, it has been very rare for the seeded players to have direct conversations with each other.
This showdown is definitely not to be missed!
——This is what everyone is thinking.
At this time, the fourth-level battle has ended, and the audience has gathered again in the third-level arena, and the spectator seats have become crowded again.
Lin Miaohan and his party also returned to the back of the spectator seats.
Among the five people, only Xiong Xiong had a sad face, while the rest were in a very good mood.
Needless to say, Captain Jun is very strong and with a complete victory record, he has deservedly become one of the regular seats in the training team.
Lin Miaohan, Qiu Mingxue, and Xiong Wei also successfully retained their status as main candidates.
On the contrary, Xiong Xiong was a bit unlucky. He was only one win away from entering the main selection, and it was a pity that he was placed on the bench.
"Brother, don't be so arrogant." Xiong Er comforted, "Before the Star Card Competition starts, we have one more trial, and it won't be too late to grab another spot by then."
"Actually, your performance this time has been very good." Jun Ruoyun commented, "You just need to hone your ax technique. Your fighting style has been too deeply affected by the shield technique."
"Yeah." Xiong Xiong nodded sluggishly, his face full of annoyance.
Captain Jun's words hit the nail on the head. Xiong Da's style did not change during the battle. He used the shield and ax in the same way, and did not exert the full power of [Revenge Shield Ax].
"Don't think about it once it's over." Qiu Mingxue held a stick of French fries in her mouth and looked into the arena. "Let's watch the game. Lu Li and the others are starting to enter the arena."
