Chapter 158: Forced into a life-and-death situation in the first round
After finishing the game, Chu Yi was still thinking about how to explain why his first round of competition took so long. When he went online, he found that no one's attention was on him.
The most searched topic on Weibo is:
China lost two games in the open team competition and is currently trailing the United Kingdom of Uchala 2:3.
The Uchala Confederated Kingdom is a country formed by the union of more than a dozen tribes in Africa. It has been established for less than ten years, with a population of just over 10 million and an area that is even smaller than Goryeo.
Facing such a small country, 4 percent of people believed before the game that China could easily win 0:.
However, what no one expected was that the Uchara team was leading 3:2 and even had two match points!
Netizens who saw this news on Weibo have started cursing, and people from other countries have also flocked to the scene to laugh at China's joke.
If the Chinese team is defeated in the first round by an unknown small African country, it will become the biggest laughing stock of this Youth Olympic Games, and will be laughed at by others for the rest of their lives.
"Is it so evil?"
Chu Yi scratched his head when he saw the score. Just when he was about to take a look at the details of the game, Team Leader Lei called him.
"Hey, Captain Lei, the game just ended here... Is it my turn now?... Okay, I'll be right over."
After Chu Yi finished speaking, he immediately rushed to the team competition venue.
As soon as he walked in, he heard cheers from the audience that had been suppressed for a long time.
It turned out that Ji Chen on the stage lived up to everyone's expectations and won the sixth game, dragging the match into a tie-break deciding game.
Before going on stage, Ji Chen was actually under a lot of pressure.
After all, if he loses, China will be eliminated in the open team competition, and the team from top to bottom will be criticized by the Chinese people.
The opponent's strength was obviously not as weak as expected before the game, and each player was stronger than the other. Ji Chen himself had no idea whether he could beat him.
Fortunately, although Uchara's group of young people are outrageous, not all of them are at the "world's top" level.
Ji Chen's strength is also at the top of the pyramid at the "world's top" level.
It was hard to win, but I won in the end.
"Captain Lei, what's going on?"
Chu Yi returned to the contestant seat in a hurry and saw that everyone had serious expressions on their faces, without any joy after getting a point. Some of them even looked dejected, and it was obvious that they had suffered a defeat.
"The opponent is stronger than we imagined. There must be a big problem here." Lei Zheng said with a grim face.
After watching all the games, he had no intention of blaming the players at all.
The players and pets of Wuchara are of average strength, but when they are about to lose, they will shout, "Please God, give me strength."
Then the strength of the beastmaster and the pet will skyrocket like nuclear fission.
This increase is quite terrifying, directly allowing the leader-level pet to possess power that is enough to rival the legendary peak pet.
Even so, the Chinese players did not lose immediately. Ji Chen, Ning Ye and Li Ming all won, and the other three who lost the game were just a little bit away from winning, which can be said to be an honorable defeat.
After watching all six games, Lei Zheng concluded that the players from Uchara must have mastered some special power.
Perhaps they discovered some secret place from ancient times in their country, and found amazing treasures in it, and the god who bestowed the blessing might be the manifestation of the treasure.
But no matter what, the Youth Olympic Games only do not allow the use of modern equipment and potions. If you bring them out from the secret realm, they are part of your strength and you can use them at will.
So even if China loses in the end, it will have no excuses.
The good news is that they are finally dragged into the deciding round, and China’s final trump card will be Chu Yi, a man who can make everyone feel at ease just by mentioning his name.
"Be mentally prepared. This time our opponent is extraordinary. Don't be careless." Lei Zheng patted Chu Yi on the shoulder, his tone full of expectation.
"Don't worry, Captain Lei. When have I ever failed to deliver?" Chu Yi chuckled. "By the way, where's my extra-large cup of milk tea?"
"Here it is." Ji Chen, who had just come down from the stage and was still wiping the sweat off his face, pushed a box towards Chu Yi.
It's an insulated box. The milk tea is placed inside and it's still steaming hot when you take it out.
Chu Yi took a look at it and put it down again: "Wait a moment, drink it after you finish fighting."
After saying that, he turned around and walked towards the stage, but he would have to wait a while before he could go on stage.
The arena was full of holes and pits in the previous match, and needed to be repaired with earth elements before the match could continue.
After seeing Chu Yi, many Chinese audiences at the scene breathed a sigh of relief. Even Lin Siyao, the guest commentator, smiled relaxedly after a long period of serious expression:
"It seems that our seventh contestant is Chu Yi. Although there were some twists and turns in the first round, he still advanced smoothly in the end."
"So optimistic, Kobayashi?"
Another male host, whose back was already wet with sweat after watching the six matches, managed a forced smile and said, "Although our opponents this time are not well-known, they are really strong and are on par with the Wuchang players."
"I believe in Chu Yi, because he has never disappointed those who believed in him." Lin Siyao said with a firm look in his eyes, "Of course, it doesn't mean that Chu Yi's opponents have no chance at all. After all, everything is possible on the field, but this possibility seems very small to me."
"Actually, I think so too." The male host laughed, and many viewers who were watching the live broadcast nodded in agreement.
Despite his various shortcomings, Chu Yi has never let everyone down, and this time will be no exception.
"The ring has been repaired, and the competition can continue."
The referee's notice came over the radio. Chu Yi took a deep breath and quickly stepped onto the contestant area of the ring.
The Youth Olympic Games allows athletes to fight alongside their pets, but not all of them are masters of hand-to-hand combat like Chu Yi. Most beastmasters still act like power banks.
Although one can gain melee combat ability by synchronizing with a pet's abilities, that will only take away the pet's power, so it's better to let it fight alone.
However, each of Uchala's players is incredibly strong and looks like a master of philosophy who loves close combat.
So after Chu Yi released Monkey Brother, he asked if he wanted to join them.
Monkey Brother just raised his hand and waved it behind him, meaning to go away and cool off, I alone am enough to deal with them.
Chu Yi laughed: "Then don't call Master to save me later." Monkey brother curled his lips: "Just say I am your son."
Fortunately, there was no microphone on the stage, otherwise this conversation would probably make everyone burst into laughter.
The audience also became worried when they saw Chu Yi chatting and drinking with Monkey Brother:
"See? Chu Yi is under a lot of pressure. He even discussed tactics with Brother Monkey. In the past, they didn't talk so much nonsense. They just rushed in directly."
"Of course. I don't know what these people from Wuchala ate to grow up. They are so strong. Chu Yi is only good at close combat. This match will be difficult."
"The opponent's player is probably their ace player. He's almost two meters tall. Is he really a weakling at the age of sixteen?"
"I'm so nervous. I'm not going to lose, am I?"
"It's hard to say. The strength of the opponent is a bit weird."
………………
The audience was worried about Chu Yi, while Chu Yi was amused by Monkey Brother's words.
But joking aside, after the game started, Chu Yi immediately opened the Eight Gates of Ninjutsu, and he opened the fourth injury gate.
In order to avoid any unexpected failure, he raised Monkey Brother's panel values to the maximum from the beginning of the game.
It is worth mentioning that he still has several thousand attribute points that he has not added to Monkey Brother.
If all are added together, Monkey Brother can break through to level 60 at any time.
The reason for this is that he discovered that the strength of the monsters in the dream training room would be dynamically adjusted.
The higher the levels of him and Monkey King, the stronger the monsters will be, which makes it more difficult for them to fight as their strength increases.
When he first entered the dream three years ago, he could kill dozens of monsters every day.
After practicing for a year, his level increased by several levels, but the number of monsters he could kill decreased by 30%.
If we continue like this, I'm afraid we can only kill a single-digit number of monsters a day.
So Chu Yi, who discovered this problem, stopped giving points to Monkey Brother a long time ago.
Anyway, the attribute points are there and will not run away. If you really encounter danger or run out of energy, you can enjoy a chance to recover health and mana for free after the evolution after adding attributes.
As for the opponents in front of him, Chu Yi did not think that he would need to use these stored attribute points to deal with them.
Although the energy fluctuations emitted by this contestant from Uchara are indeed quite scary, the pet beast beside him - the Fiery Mane Lion is also of noble overlord bloodline, and its strength is definitely several levels stronger than the Chimera that they just dealt with!
Because of the language barrier, the two men started fighting without any communication after they went on stage.
Faced with the pincer attack from the man and the beast, Monkey King plucked a strand of monkey hair and blew it gently, and immediately a clone that was exactly the same as the original appeared.
However, the golden cudgel cannot be split. The golden cudgel used by the clone is a copycat version condensed from true qi, but its texture is still harder than steel.
Monkey King and his clone stood back to back, swinging their sticks at the enemies they were facing at the same time.
A few years ago, it still had a variety of tricks, but now its tricks have become quite simple, with only two left: a horizontal stick and a vertical stick.
With the addition of multiple buffs, Monkey King has the power to move mountains and overturn cliffs with just a wave of his hand. Coupled with magical weapons like the Golden Cudgel, he firmly believes that more than 99% of the skills at the same level are not as good as a single blow from him.
No, not should, but must!
What seemed like an ordinary blow to everyone actually hammered Uchala's player Dariwan directly into the ground like a whack-a-mole.
Two ridges more than one meter high immediately rose up around the impact of the stick, and the cracks in the floor instantly spread out for dozens of meters, and only stopped completely when they reached the area where the protective cover was located.
"What kind of power is this?!"
Everyone on the Uchala team was moved. This was the first time they had seen a foreigner with strength that was comparable to that of the strong men in their own tribe.
As for the other spectators, they were naturally even more shocked. At the same time, they were also wondering why such power did not trigger the protective shield. Could it be that Dariwan withstood this earth-shattering blow?
Just as the audience had expected, despite suffering such a heavy blow, Dariwan still crawled out of the floor alive and well, and even dusted off his body with a disdainful smile, which was full of sarcasm.
Anger instantly filled Monkey King's eyes. He roared and activated the Eight Gates of Ninjutsu.
The violent burst of true energy produced an impact force even stronger than that of the vacuum blade, plowing the ground around it into eighty-five vertical and horizontal grooves.
There was a loud bang, and a big hole was stepped on the floor. Monkey Brother came to Dariwan's side almost at the speed of teleportation, and lifted him up to the sky with a stick, along with the stone.
Daliwan's lion roared and shook off Monkey King's clone, rushing to rescue his master. However, Monkey King used his golden cudgel to point at the lion from more than ten meters away and knocked it flying.
After dealing with the guy who was in the way, the Monkey King instantly took back the golden cudgel, and with a clean and neat somersault he flipped up into the sky, as if he had crossed a distance of ten thousand miles in an instant, and once again stood face to face with Dariwan, shoulder to shoulder.
This time, Dariwan could no longer laugh, because his shoulder was hit by Monkey Brother's instep in a hook-like posture, and his body fell vertically without control, creating a large hole with a diameter of ten meters on the ground.
The Monkey King flew into the air, creating a sonic boom in the air, and chased after Daliwan as if he were walking on flat ground. The golden cudgel in his hand swept from top to bottom, and the speed was beyond the reach of the naked eye, causing a series of shrill screams in the air, and also left behind a crescent moon of blazing fire.
Just as the stick was about to hit, an elder from the Uchala team suddenly stood up and stood in front of Dariwan.
He knew that Dariwan's kung fu was not good enough and he could not block this shocking blow no matter what.
However, he didn't know that the Youth Olympic Games arena had an automatic protection function. When Monkey Brother swung the stick, the protective shield had already wrapped up Dariwan.
A white light shone from the elder's body, and a golden pattern could be vaguely seen on the light.
But Monkey King's stick didn't fall down in the end. In the last second before it was about to hit, the golden cudgel shrank from a two-meter-long stick to an embroidery needle. Monkey King's body, falling like a meteorite, suddenly braked in mid-air, and the bright red flames finally turned into a wisp of black smoke.
"The control power has reached the highest level. This pet is truly astounding."
The elder muttered words of praise and gave a thumbs up.
Although the languages are different, everyone can still understand the thumbs-up gesture.
"Daliwan's team leader admitted defeat on behalf of the players, so the winners are Chu Yi and Monkey Brother!"
After seeing this scene, the male host excitedly announced the result of the competition, and Lin Siyao also smiled and applauded.
