Chapter 253 The first battle
In addition to Shen Bai, there were several other contestants in the player lounge, but Shen Bai didn't recognize them, so he didn't say hello, and just stared at the game on the screen, fascinated.
However, the disadvantage of being famous and powerful is that you can be recognized no matter where you go. A girl with braids walked up to Shen Bai, smiled and stretched out her hand:
"Classmate Shen, please meet me. I am Dai Chanjuan, who is predicted to be ranked 131."
"Oh, hello, hello..."
Shen Bai lightly squeezed Dai Chanjuan's hand and was about to take it back, but unexpectedly, this seemingly quiet girl not only didn't let Shen Bai's right hand go away, but also stepped forward and said:
"Classmate Shen Bai, who do you think can win between the two people fighting on Arena No. 5?"
Shen Bai's face changed slightly, but he still replied politely and softly:
"It must be the girl at the top of the list. She has true blood and a dominant body. If she doesn't make a fatal mistake, she can't lose at all."
"That's right." Dai Chanjuan let go and grinned:
"Presumably in the eyes of many people, the twenty-two people who will go to the divine capital to participate in the finals will inevitably be among the top fifty or even forty predicted contestants... Aren't you afraid that there are some hidden masters?"
"Are there young masters who hide themselves? There are indeed a few every year, but this is rare and there is no need to consider it."
Shen Bai withdrew his right hand, put it behind his back, and lowered his eyes:
"Classmate Dai, are you trying to say...that you are that kind of [hidden master]?"
"Oh my, how dare you do that?" Dai Chanjuan seemed to be frightened, her braid swayed a bit, she stood up with a giggle, and her lilac tongue slightly spit out:
"I don't dare to compete with you. I only know some simple [handwork]."
Boom——
A voice like a bell sounded, and the first game on Arena No. 5 ended. When the referee announced the winner despite the cheers of the crowd, a staff member walked to the lounge and said respectfully next to Shen Bai:
"Classmate Shen, it's time for you to appear, I wish you a great victory!"
Shen Bai did not respond immediately, but raised his head and looked at Dai Chanjuan silently, with a faint golden light flashing under his eyes.
The right hand he had just withdrawn was still behind his back.
After a while, when the contestants and staff nearby noticed that the atmosphere here was a little strange, Shen Bai finally stood up and nodded politely as usual.
He passed by Dai Chanjuan, touched her lightly intentionally or unintentionally, and then walked straight to the contestants' aisle.
Shen Bai's figure quickly disappeared deep into the passage. Dai Chanjuan stretched out, her beautiful figure on full display. She sat down where Shen Bai had just been, asked the staff for a glass of ice water, and sipped it in small sips. .
No one could see the traces of blood flowing out of Dai Chanjuan's mouth, diluted into ice water, and then drank by her expressionlessly.
…
The contestants' passage is built underground, and for convenience and efficiency, crawler transmission is used, so even if Shen Bai lowers his head and paces slowly, the speed is quite impressive.
The exit of the passage is getting closer and closer, the light is getting stronger and the cheers are getting louder.
"Chen Bai!"
"Lieutenant Colonel Xiaobai!"
"Xiaobai! Xiaobai! Xiaobai!"
The huge cheers that could almost shatter the clouds in the sky woke Shen Bai up. He took a deep breath and strode out of the exit. After a brief moment to adapt to the light, he saw a sea of people everywhere.
He was surrounded by shouts and almost lost himself in the crazy atmosphere of the Utopian audience.
Bathing in the sunshine and living in the gaze of all living beings is a happy and proud thing.
Shen Bai raised his left hand high and signaled to the surrounding audience.
"Now, on both sides of the ring are Shen Bai from Lanhai City and Zhang Tiannan from Qiming City!"
"Please come to the center and conclude the [Rite of Martial Arts]"
Shen Bai and Zhang Tiannan, who was opposite, approached each other and each extended a hand to join in the ceremony.
"It's done! Now let me repeat the rules of the competition..."
"It is prohibited to use derivatives of the First Stone, and it is prohibited to intentionally kill or maim..."
Chen Bai's pupils were blazing with golden flames. He raised his right hand, which had been behind his back, to a position parallel to his abdomen. He lowered his head and looked at it carefully, as if he was listening carefully to the referee's announcement of the rules of the game.
However, in reality, he was full of doubts.
That girl named Dai Chanjuan is a master... no, a great master!
Judging from the pain in my right hand, the palm bones were definitely broken, and maybe the fascia was crushed into a ball.
This person is very strong and very hostile to himself...
But I have never met her, so where does this hostility come from?
Shen Bai frowned, recalling every detail of the past, and confirmed that this was indeed the first time he saw Dai Chanjuan.
"The game... begins!"
The referee's sudden shout interrupted Shen Bai's contemplation, and a moment later a strong wind struck from a distance, with terrifying power, but without making any sound.
Shen Bai bent down to avoid the oncoming strong wind. The sound of shattering stones came from the ring under his feet. Shen Bai took a moment to glance underground and saw a dozen sharp meniscus darts.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Buzz!
Zhang Tiannan's shots were as fast as lightning. His ten fingers turned into afterimages, and he kept throwing strange-looking crescent darts. With the blessing of the true blood realm, these darts exceeded the speed of sound and could easily penetrate the thick armor of heavy main battle tanks. .
Moreover, when Shen Bai was dodging, he discovered that Zhang Tiannan would deliberately throw meniscus darts into the ground. These darts with strange arcs collided with each other and then rotated, forming a secondary acceleration and changing direction, which always made him hard to guard against.
This is also the reason why Shen Bai doesn't want to use his body to force the attack. This man is even ingenious with his darts. He might have something messy painted on the tip of the darts. It is forbidden to use the original stone derivatives and thermal weapons in the crazy October arena battle, but he can use them. "Non-lethal" toxins.
"Is this the [Weapon Master]... Tsk, that's incredible."
Shen Bai looked at Zhang Tiannan's bulging backpack and knew that it must contain various weapons that had been prepared for a long time.
"There's no need to drag it out, let's fight it quickly!"
Shen Bai glanced at the opposite person, and his whole body ignited with golden flames. This flame strengthened the strength of his legs and the elasticity of the ring under his feet, and was accompanied by a violent high temperature that could melt gold and stone.
[Tyrant] activates!
boom!
On the gray-black arena, a golden line of fire suddenly appeared. It started from where Shen Bai had just stood and ended in front of Zhang Tiannan.
As a weapons master who had experienced many battles, Zhang Tiannan subconsciously drew out the horizontal knife behind him and slashed sideways. However, the moment his fingertips touched the handle of the knife, his vision went dark and he suddenly lost consciousness.
The noise from the audience suddenly stopped.
On the ring, Shen Bai held up the unconscious Zhang Tiannan with one hand and gently placed him on the ground.
One is standing and one is lying down.
Chapter completed!
