The consciousness of Xu Wuyi entered Battle Net and appeared directly in the waiting area exclusive for semi-finalists.
The environment here is much wider than the preparation room for the preliminary competition, but it is also more solemn, and there is an invisible sense of tension in the air.
A huge light curtain was suspended in mid-air, displaying the list of upcoming battles in real time.
Without waiting too much, the system prompt sounded in my ears.
[First round of the rematch, Game 37: Xu Wuyi (Star Martial University) vs Zhang Meng (Blazing Sun Martial Academy). Players please be prepared and teleport to the ring in ten seconds.]
The opponent's information was displayed on the light screen: Zhang Meng, Blazing Sun Martial Academy, preliminary ranking 341, Life Energy Level 33.8
level.
The ten-second countdown ended, and Xu Wuyi's figure flashed and appeared on the standard square arena.
The opponent Zhang Meng is also in position. He is a sturdy young man holding a long stick.
The battle begins.
Zhang Meng roared angrily, and the long stick wrapped around the blazing Blood and Qi, sweeping over like a hot wheel with an astonishing momentum.
However, after experiencing yesterday's battle with Xu Zi'ang and other top martial artists, Xu Wuyi felt that although the opponent's offensive was fierce, the speed and changes seemed a bit slow.
Xu Wuyi did not use [Undying Flame], or even opened [Furnace Boiling Blood].
He just relied on his martial arts master-level physical fitness to move <Instant Shadow Steps> under his feet, easily avoiding the wind of the stick, and then stabbed out with a spear, precisely at the moment when the opponent's old strength was exhausted and new strength was not yet generated.
"Clang!"
Zhang Meng felt a huge shock on his wrist, and almost lost his grip on the long stick, with the middle door wide open.
Xu Wuyi's second shot followed closely, and the tip of the gun pierced the opponent's throat. Zhang Meng immediately turned into white light and disappeared.
[Victory! Advance to the top 256.]
The battle ended quickly, even easier than Xu Wuyi expected.
It is indeed difficult for opponents ranked beyond 300 in the preliminary round to pose a substantial threat to him.
The second round of the rematch begins half an hour later.
[Second round of semi-finals, Game 19: Xu Wuyi (Star Martial University) vs Li Yun (Qingyuan Martial Academy).]
Li Yun, ranked 205th in the preliminary round, level 30.9, Life Energy Level, is a woman with a strong body and the use of double thorns.
Her movement is as flexible as a butterfly walking through flowers, trying to disrupt Xu Wuyi's rhythm with speed.
The double-thorn attack angle is tricky, specializing in joints, acupuncture points and other weak points.
Xu Wuyi still responded with <Eight Directions Soul-Suppressing Spear>, the gun spread out like a copper wall Iron Wall Camp, blocking all the opponent's attacks.
Soul Suppressor Domain was shrouded in silence. Although its effect on martial artists of the same level was greatly reduced, the invisible pressure of will still made Li Yun's movements appear stagnant.
It was this trace of stagnation that was keenly captured by Xu Wuyi.
Long Spear instantly broke through the defense of the double thorns and stabbed Li Yun in the chest.
Blood and Qi spit it out, and Li Yun groaned, flew backwards, and the virtual body became blurred.
[Victory! Advance to the top 128.]
After winning two games in a row easily, Xu Wuyi's mentality became more and more stable.
He could feel that after the successive defeats in the late preliminary rounds, his control of strength and grasp of the battle situation had significantly improved.
It becomes more and more comfortable to deal with these weaker opponents.
After a short rest, his message appeared on the light screen again.
[The third round of the semi-finals, Game 11: Xu Wuyi (Star Martial University) vs Wang Xingze (Star Martial University).]
"Huh? The senior of our school?" Xu Wuyi was slightly startled.
On the ring, a tall and burly young man, like an iron tower, formed on the opposite side.
He held a pumpkin-sized iron hammer in each hand, his muscles were taut, and his breath was thick and heavy.
[Wang Xingze, Star Martial University, preliminary ranking 101, Life Energy Level: 34.3]
"Junior Xu, I have heard your name a long time ago." Wang Xingze's voice was like a bell, with a hearty smile on his face, "I didn't expect to meet you on the ring so soon. Don't blame the senior for being ruthless!"
"Senior Wang, please give me some advice." Xu Wuyi nodded in response, his expression serious.
Life Energy Level, ranked 101st in the preliminary round and level 34.3, is definitely a strong opponent, especially the opponent's double hammers, which are obviously aggressive, and their power is probably extremely terrifying.
"Haha, okay! Give me a blow!"
Wang Xingze laughed loudly, not politely, and strode forward, the arena seemed to be shaking.
The heavy hammer in his right hand was raised high, carrying an evil wind, and it hit Xu Wuyi like a mountain bearing down on top!
Before the hammer arrived, the violent air pressure had already made one's breath stagnant.
Xu Wuyi did not choose hard connection.
Yesterday's battle with Zhou Kai made him understand that with the absolute power gap, it was not wise to fight head-on.
The <Instant Shadow Steps> under his feet was used to the extreme, and his body was like a line of blue smoke, sliding sideways and rearward in an instant.
"Boom!"
The heavy hammer hit the position where Xu Wuyi was standing just now, making a dull loud noise, and ripples appeared on the smooth floor of the arena.
One blow missed, Wang Xingze's left hammer followed closely, like a violent storm, sweeping away thousands of troops!
His hammering skills are wide open and close, and his force is powerful and heavy. What he pursues is to crush his opponents with absolute power.
Xu Wuyi calmed down and used <Eight Directions Soul-Suppressing Spear>'s defensive moves. Long Spear would either push or lead, unload or block, and would never collide with the double hammers head-on.
He is like a small boat in the stormy sea. He seems to be surrounded by dangers, but he can always avoid fatal hammer blows at critical moments.
The guns and hammers clashed, making a continuous loud "clang" sound, and sparks flying everywhere.
Xu Wuyi's arms were slightly numb from the shock, and Blood and Qi was tumbling, but his eyes remained calm.
He is observing, looking for the opponent's rhythm and flaws.
After dozens of moves, Wang Xingze's offensive was still fierce, but Xu Wuyi was keenly aware that the opponent's aura began to become slightly disordered.
This fierce and violent fighting style consumes a lot of Blood and Qi.
"Now!"
Xu Wuyi's eyes flashed, and after deftly releasing the weight of the hammer, he finally took the initiative to attack for the first time.
Meteor Iron Long Spear is like a dragon coming out of its hole, piercing directly into the space under Wang Xingze's ribs.
Wang Xingze reacts extremely quickly and returns the hammer to block.
But above the tip of Xu Wuyi's gun, a wisp of dark golden flame quietly rose - [Undying Flame]!
"Pfft!"
Although the tip of the spear was blocked by the hammer handle, the wisp of [Undying Flame] was like gangrene attached to the bone, instantly spreading to Wang Xingze's protective body Blood and Qi and the hammer handle.
"Huh?" Wang Xingze frowned, feeling that Blood and Qi himself was being continuously burned and consumed by a strange force.
He tried to run Blood and Qi to disperse it, but the flame was extremely stubborn, as if it had taken root, and the speed of extinguishing was much slower than the speed at which he consumed Blood and Qi.
He roared angrily and swung his hammers faster, trying to quickly resolve the battle before Blood and Qi was exhausted.
However, Xu Wuyi completely changed the strategy.
He no longer attempted head-on attacks, and relied solely on his body and spear skills to move around, avoiding Wang Xingze's fierce attacks time and time again, and at the same time harassing him with [Undying Flame] from time to time.
The dark golden flame is like a tarsal maggot, as long as it touches a little, it will continue to burn.
