"Good job, Li Geer!"
"That's it! Li Geer! Let them know how powerful our tribal warriors are!"
"These strangers are far from ready to join our sacred duel!"
"That's right, look at the bodies of those foreigners, Li Geer only needs one punch to—"
"Shut your mouths!"
Loud shouts then appeared in the sky above the venue, which was gradually becoming noisy. Along with the cheering and shouting crowds of warriors from various tribes, the crowd gradually drifted towards the distance. They had already stopped paying attention and looked at each other. The gathered people then stopped their excited movements when Li Geer, who was in the spotlight, suddenly shouted. Some of the people who were closer seemed to have noticed the man who had just punched his opponent away. The guy's face looked abnormal at this time: "What, what's wrong?"
"Isn't the winner already decided?"
He also noticed that the shirtless tribal man looked different from his previous appearance after killing his opponent. The tribal warrior who had been knocked to the ground before approached and asked, "Isn't that adventurer dead?"
"wrong."
Also staring closely at the far end of the collapsed tent that was submerged by Xueling Huanbing and others, Li Geer, who seemed to be covered with a layer of burnt blackness, slowly raised his right fist in front of him: "It feels like wrong."
"Hey you!"
Ignoring the strange looks from the surrounding tribe members, he suddenly raised his voice and asked into the distance: "Did you get beaten on purpose? Did you just--"
"Did you blow yourself up with something?"
Taking two steps forward like a shooting star, he stopped in front of the ruins and asked Duan Qing in a determined voice. The gray-robed figure who was lifted up by Xue Ling Huanbing and others in the ruins finally got rid of it at this time. He was in a state of coma and paralysis, struggling hard with heavy sounds of vomiting blood and coughing: "Cough cough! Cough cough... Hahahaha, as expected of the selected examiner, he realized something was wrong so quickly."
"I have special experience with being beaten."
Duan Qing spat out the knocked-out teeth in his mouth, with blood oozing from the corners of his mouth. The two men, Xue Ling Huan Bing and Gedmane, carried out the wreckage of the tent. The remains of his body also became clear in the eyes of the tribe soldiers in disbelief: " As long as you apply force in the direction of the hit, and use appropriate inertia and movements, you can manage to take the attack that seems impossible with your body."
"Sure enough." Different from the expressions on the faces of the surrounding tribe members, Li Geer, who was shaking his right fist, spoke again with a low expression: "At that moment, I felt a little soft. Sure enough, you were among them. Making trouble."
"This is the first time I've seen someone who can use the instant fireball technique as a physical attack." Duan Qing, who was supported in the middle, gasped and let out two wry smiles: "And even with the added reaction force, I You were still beaten so badly, you are indeed the number one warrior."
"The number one warrior is not me, but that guy Surtu." Li Geer shook his head, as if there were flames burning in his eyes. His voice sounded again, which was even more pronounced amidst the surprise and silence of the onlookers. It became clearer: "And I didn't really knock you down, the battle is not over yet."
"Doesn't this count as passing the test?" His answer was the urgent voice from Xue Ling Huan Bing who stretched out his hand to stop Duan Qing: "He has already received your attack! The test should be over! "
"Well, this is—"
The raging flames of war gradually extinguished between Li Geer's thick eyebrows and big eyes. Then the shirtless strong man seemed to really think about the question that Xue Ling Huan Bing shouted out in desperation: "'Yongli' try" Refining does test the "brave" and "strength" aspects of the selected person. Those who dare to challenge me head-on will naturally have no problem with their courage, but this strength - "
"I see, this is the standard." Duan Qing, who struggled to get rid of the supported hand and stood up straight with all his strength, let out two strange low laughs again: "I understand, since you want to see See my power—"
"Let me prove it a little bit."
The almost unsteady feet finally found the balance point. The gray-robed magician said this in a way that no one would believe. His seemingly indifferent tone also successfully aroused the shirtless man in front of him. The brawny man's hesitant expression was later replaced by a high-spirited fighting spirit: "Okay! Very good! I like an opponent like you!"
"Don't be anxious, I haven't finished speaking yet." He waved his hand to stop the other party from rushing forward immediately. Duan Qing continued breathlessly: "There are many ways to prove my strength. I just I just want to choose one of them.”
"Oh? I haven't thought about this." The steps he took and then stopped stirred up large pieces of grass and soil on the ground. Li Geer's eager expression was also delayed for a moment: "Why, you want to do it again?" Do you use those moves that only 'magicians' would use?"
"Who knows." Duan Qing rolled his eyelids as if he were joking. Duan Qing, who was supporting his body with all his strength, also showed a smile: "But there is one thing I can explain in advance...or suggest."
"That's how I want to prove it."
He supported his upper body and pointed his trembling fingers at the face of the strong man facing him at the edge of the circular field: "You punched me earlier, but you didn't knock me down."
"According to the normal fighting process, I should give you a punch now, right?"
As the infinite grassland wind gradually blew through the scene around the site, the smile on the edge of the gray-robed magician's mouth became more and more obvious, on the face of the shirtless man he pointed at with his weak fingers. He also showed a hint of disbelief, but behind him, there was a lot of boos and noises: "What? What kind of proposal is this?"
"Why do you want to punch Li Geer back? Do you think fighting is a child's game?"
"The battle process? This is just a business deal! These hateful strangers?"
"They know nothing about fighting! They don't know what the rules are! If they did, it would be a blasphemy against the honor of the tribe!"
"Everyone stop it! I have the final say here!"
He shouted again to suppress the surrounding opposition, and Li Geer's serious and heavy eyes appeared in the movement of raising his arms: "I understand, then you are allowed to fight back. "
"What?" The objections of many tribal warriors suddenly sounded behind him: "Li Geer! Don't believe the nonsense of these adventurers! They are opportunistic-"
"So what? Our 'selection' selected those who are suitable to participate in the Barish ceremony."
The low voice rolled around like thunder, and Li Geer's raised gaze suppressed the opposing voices behind him again: "The person with the strongest strength may not necessarily become the first warrior of the tribe. Su and I The existence of the two Ertu is proof! If you want to win the battle of Barish, it is not enough to rely on bravery!"
"I saw something else in you, and this is the reason why I nodded in agreement." He turned around, and his solemn gaze fell on the swaying Duan Qing again: "Of course, even so, Guys who don’t have enough strength still can’t pass my test.”
"If your fist is too soft, then don't blame me for not giving you a chance."
In the atmosphere where the surroundings suddenly became silent, the shirtless strong man raised his arms again. The step of no longer moving forward was followed by a defensive posture with the virtual exhibition of his arms, as if he planned to use This way is waiting for the opponent to take action. There was a look of relief in his eyes. Duan Qing, whose chest was rising and falling, then nodded his head. The gesture that had dismissed several teammates behind him was then raised forward again, and he gradually grasped it on his bruised cheek. It looked like a fist: "Okay, the target has been set up, all that's left is how to achieve the highest output."
"You only have one chance to make a move, and you can only use your fists." As if muttering to himself, he lowered his head, and chaotic magic elements began to gather and reverberate around him: "But...since we have enough time, There is no interference, so there is no problem in making a full-out attack."
"As long as I can bring out everything I know."
The earth-yellow light began to gradually condense under the glares of everyone around him, and finally formed a faint outline around Duan Qing's fist. The gray-robed magician who kept chanting curses then hid his last expression in the During the action of burying his head, his whole body began to fall forward: "The hard 'warhead' is ready, all that's left is to increase the speed to the extreme."
"Without a strong body to support you, if you want to gain ultimate strength, the only way is to use extreme speed."
Brilliant ice glow condensed at Duan Qing's feet, and a ray of emerald green light suddenly appeared on the ice blue path extending in the direction of Li Baer. Then, the sound of wind stronger than outside the tribe's settlement also appeared. This flash of emerald green light suddenly burst out towards the side of the camp, carrying the gray-robed magician and flying forward. In the middle of the wind passage, a series of red lights appeared in the middle of the continuous explosion of flames. Red: "Libar!"
"I'm sorry!"
boom!
*********************************
"Uh...ah."
Consciousness became clear in the chaotic feeling, and his eyes gradually opened. A certain strong man who was wrapped in a felt cloth and was thrown into the stable then sat up from the weeds with a sleepy expression, and he couldn't help but speak. The ground let out a low groan. He scratched the back of his head, as if he didn't quite understand the situation he was in. He shook his head from side to side subconsciously, and gradually returned to normal feeling. Then, with his frown, he dispelled the thoughts that had occupied his mind. The drowsiness in my heart, and the burning pain on my cheek began to become more obvious: "Oh, damn it..."
"Are you awake?" A calm voice then appeared in his ears, and the outline of a man gradually appeared in his shaking and hazy vision: "How do you feel?"
"I, where am I?" The unique smell of the stable began to become clear in his nose, and the strong man with his facial features finally retrieved his memory from the void: "I, I remember that I was there It is only right for the center of the settlement to participate in the selection trial. Later, later——"
"Huh?" His eyes became bigger and bigger, and he stood up suddenly, ignoring the burning pain caused by pressing the wound on his cheek: "What's going on? I'm not taking risks with that person. A duel? How could——"
"It seems that he still hasn't fully recovered."
The shelter of the stable separated half of the sunlight in the field of vision from the scope of the shadow, and also made the backlit appearance of the man close at hand a little harder to recognize. He walked closer with his hands behind his back and looked at it with his eyes. He checked the strong man's physical condition up and down, and finally a strange smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Or are you unwilling to admit defeat?"
"It's hard, could it be that I was knocked unconscious?" He said this in disbelief. The shirtless man stood up suddenly and looked down at the face of the man who was slightly shorter than him with shocked eyes: "How is this possible? ? That adventurer obviously——"
"You obviously don't have much strength, right?" He smiled and said what the other party wanted to say next. The man with his hands behind his back then suppressed the smile on his face: "Yes, he does not have much strength, but he He really used his own method and exerted unimaginable power."
"I think this should be the kind of 'adventurer' the patriarch has been describing." He reached out and patted the strong man on the shoulder. The man's earnest voice seemed to be speaking to himself: "We Their strength should be recognized, Li Geer.”
"Where is he now?" He clenched his fists and remained silent for a while. The first words he spoke again seemed to restore his original calmness: "I want to confirm again."
"His situation is much worse than yours." The man who answered slightly shook his head and turned back to look in the other direction of the Sioux tribe: "You, a wild bull, can only be killed by such an impact. He was knocked unconscious and only suffered a little scratch on the side of his face. Linyuan Duanshui was not so lucky. His arm seemed to be severely broken in the last punch, and all the bones in his body seemed to be scattered. It’s like having a fight.”
"...Really." Recalling the last battle scene left in his mind, Li Geer sighed and loosened his clenched fingers: "Then I want to go too, at least I should take a look at him. "
"Well, I won't be so ungrateful as to stop a stubborn guy like you."
Waving his hand, the man then smiled and gestured in the direction he was looking in the distance before: "It's still the same old place where you people are often moved to. You just have to walk there with your legs, but ——”
"Counting the time, my old father should be in that place now."
