Five Hundred and Eighty-Nine, What You Can’t Ask For
Three updates today.
...
At 9:30, both sides entered the venue to warm up.
The atmosphere at the Edo City National Stadium gradually became warm and people's emotions became high.
The first game that ended an hour ago touched the hearts of the world.
The final result was that both the North Road God of Law and the Queen of the Ice Kingdom died in battle. For some ordinary people, the Star Warrior World Cup is more like a game, but for the Star Warriors fighting on the field, it is a battle. life and death.
It’s not that people have never died in the World Cup, they have happened in every previous tournament, but most of those deaths occurred in the first few rounds. Deaths in this final round only occurred once, and that dates back to the 1990s.
The North Kingdom and the Snow Republic also fell into mourning, and the final six... no, they should be called the top four now, and their ranking may be higher.
As for the final rankings of 7 to 11, there will not be any improvement in the ranking. Although the star warriors from the North Road and the Ice Country died, they should be tied for fifth. Because the worst result in this round is sixth.
Player Jin Pingchang failed to enter the top ten in the end, ranking 11th. And such a result will really make Hou Mingming, who is ranked 12th, angry to death.
She was obviously someone who could be slapped to death, but now he stepped on her head. Every time she saw the ranking list announced on the screen, she obviously felt angry.
Even if it's one person apart? Even if the 11 people come up with something similar? It's the same step, but at least it's not that intuitive...
Of course, if we don't look at the problem so narrowly, the death of these two world-class star warriors, Beilu and Bingguo, is really a loss to the whole world.
Since human society has advanced to a certain level, it has been difficult to start a world-level war, and no one wants to die together. However, small conflicts between countries continued, and some areas were not peaceful from beginning to end.
But this is only a war on the human level, and due to the opening of different dimensions in this world, alien beasts are rampant and star power is surging. Humanity’s enemies are not only the same kind, but also these terrifying and mysterious different dimensions, and other Creatures conceived behind.
To this day, human society still has very little exploration of the upper dimensions, and has no idea what the principles behind it are.
Countless ancestors have explored and searched for answers, but most of them have not been heard from and are missing. Even those who have returned without success are very few.
So now the question arises, is the Earthlings holding the Star Martial Arts World Cup just a show of force and message to the same kind and to other countries?
What kind of creatures exist in the upper dimensions? Why are countless different-dimensional spaces blooming on the earth? Are there higher-level intelligent creatures doing and observing in secret?
Is the Xingwu World Cup also being held for a certain type of people? Or even...could the person who promoted the Xingwu World Cup be a high-level intelligent creature?
Jiang Xiao doesn't know these things. He has only been here for two years. His level is not high enough and he does not have access to more information. He just wants to play well in the current game. As for the future... Jiang Xiao never worries about anything.
Jiang Xiao believes that at his current growth rate...
The future will always come.
For Jiang Xiao at this stage, the World Cup is almost his biggest stage.
Jiang Xiao is relatively certain in his heart that as long as he takes one step at a time and does what he should do at each stage and does not take the initiative to die, his stage will only get bigger and bigger.
Thinking of this, Jiang Xiao turned to look at his opponent, another strong opponent on his way to the championship.
Saito Nobuyuki, also known as Gu Xinzhi, wears a blue national team uniform, has short black hair, and has sharp eyes like a falcon. At 1.88 meters tall, he should be considered outstanding in his country.
But regardless of nationality, within the scope of star warriors, this height is nothing. The magical star power is changing the human body.
There is no doubt about it.
Height and length are talents visible to the naked eye, and those who have gone through layers of selection to reach the finals are all the chosen ones, and good physical conditions are almost all standard.
Jiang Xiao, who is still growing, is already 182cm tall, but he is the shortest player among the top four, even worse than the Flower of Lanxi next door. Among the four, the one with the best physical condition is of course the Republic of Will. That big shield.
Feeling Jiang Xiao's gaze, Saito Nobuyuki also looked over. His expressionless face and extremely sharp eyes reminded Jiang Xiao of Erwei.
Jiang Xiao had seen many outstanding star warriors, but he had only seen Gu Xinzhi's look in Erwei's eyes.
The eyes of Wu Yao, Han Jiangxue and others can also be very sharp, but the so-called "sharpness" is more limited to victory or defeat.
As for Erwei, it doesn't matter whether he wins or loses, he just starts with "life or death".
Jiang Xiao looked at Saito Nobuyuki with burning eyes, so... you are also a warrior, right? Have you participated in countless life and death battles, and even experienced war after war?
Jiang Xiao didn't want to believe that a Star Warrior student could have such eyes. Jiang Xiao could clearly distinguish between a serious look and a deep inner look, and what looked the same on the outside.
No matter how tall Saito Nobuyuki stands, if he cannot escape from the category of a student and has no matching experience, he cannot have such a temperament.
These were observed by Jiang Xiao himself, but were not reflected in the other party's information.
Jiang Xiao licked his lips, feeling a hint of excitement in his heart.
If you are also a warrior who has fought hard on a real battlefield, then today's battle will be very, very interesting.
Saito Nobuyuki was slightly stunned. Of course he had encountered many opponents. Some opponents would stare back, some would remain silent and keep their minds focused, and some would dodge and avoid looking directly.
When Saito Nobuyuki saw Jiang Xiao's expression, his heart trembled slightly. He knew that Jiang Xiao was definitely not a madman, not even a fighting maniac, so Jiang Xiao's expression...
"Dudu! Dudu!" The referee's whistle sounded, and at 9:55, the contestants from both sides entered the venue!
Jiang Xiao carried the giant blade and stepped into the iron cage. Position 2, stationed in the west half.
In Jiang Xiao's sight, Saito Nobuyuki was in the opposite half, and behind him in the auditorium was a blue ocean.
Similarly, in Saito Nobuyuki's eyes, Jiang Xiao's figure was even a little small. Behind Jiang Xiao was the crimson sea that connected to the sky. A huge red cloth was surging in the audience with overwhelming momentum.
Saito Nobuyuki's sharp eyes suddenly changed. Looking at the red wave and listening to the familiar language of his hometown, Saito Nobuyuki's eyes dimmed, and his expression even seemed a little lonely.
Having made it this far, Jiang Xiao believes that he is a strong warrior, and at least he will not show such emotions here. Only when your heart is truly touched will you be involuntarily and unable to control yourself.
Jiang Xiao shouted loudly in Chinese: "Gu Xinzhi?"
Saito Nobuyuki pursed his lips and did not respond.
On the field, the support teams of both sides roared loudly and even chanted in unison. It was impossible to hear what the two people on the field were saying.
This led to a special situation. The two people on the field could almost hear each other's words clearly, and through the miniature microphone, the audience in front of the TV and computer could also hear the two people's "trash talk" clearly.
Jiang Xiao continued to speak in Chinese: "Do you understand?"
Saito Nobuyuki nodded.
Jiang Xiao asked: "Have you ever come back?"
Saito Nobuyuki hesitated for a moment and shook his head gently.
Jiang Xiao grinned and said, "I heard from your junior high school classmates that you are a cheerful person. Why are you nervous? You have experienced a real war and you are still nervous about such a small scene?"
Jiang Xiao finally showed his fox tail. He was asking whether Saito Nobuyuki had really experienced war.
If the answer is "yes," then this fight will be comfortable.
Saito Nobuyuki held the sword in his right hand and held it in front of his eyes. He gently stroked it with his left hand and lowered his head without saying a word.
Children aged 15 or 6 leave their hometown where they grew up, leave their relatives and friends, and suddenly enter a foreign country. Problems such as language barriers, living habits, etc. will indeed have a huge impact on a person's growth.
As to whether it is good or bad, that is another question.
Now that he is standing here, Jiang Xiao will definitely not hesitate to use any form of means to attack his enemies.
Jiang Xiao said: "Looking at your social media, there are also photos of you and your companions sneaking into Jiangcheng University and taking photos on the Cherry Blossom Avenue. Under the cherry blossom trees, it's very romantic, isn't it?"
Saito Nobuyuki frowned slightly and did not raise his head, but raised his eyes and looked at Jiang Xiao. Waves of cold aura radiated out, as if it had locked onto its prey.
Jiang Xiao was unmoved and asked with a smile: "Is she okay? Is she in contact?"
Saito Nobuyuki: "Shut up."
"Huh?" Jiang Xiao grinned, "Can you talk?"
Saito Shinichi held the knife in his hand, pointed at Jiang Xiao from a distance, and said: "I thought we could stop it."
"Haha." Jiang Xiao smiled disdainfully, "Don't make trouble."
Saito Nobuyuki’s words, as well as his actual actions in the past, proved this: “Just like I did to Fan Ren of Ozo Hoshitake, just like I did to your alumni Hou Mingming.”
Jiang Xiao nodded, then shook his head and said, "Don't go too far with me. There are only two outcomes for me in this battle."
Saito Nobuyuki looked at Jiang Xiao quietly.
Jiang Xiao rubbed the back of his head and said jokingly: "Either win or die."
Saito Nobuyuki raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at the sea of red behind Jiang Xiao.
He was silent for a while, then held the blade in both hands, stood in front of him, and said in a deep voice: "As you wish."
Jiang Xiao took a lunge and dragged the giant blade to the right side of his body: "I can't get it."
"Dudu! The game begins!"
Uh-huh...
A burst of cherry blossoms danced.
Boom!
A green light flashed.
