Number One Player of Time and Space

"Ready Player One in Time and Space ()"

All players participating in the quarterfinals have entered the venue.

The residents of the Imperial City in the ordinary seats around the ring roared with thunderous shouts, cheering for the players they supported.

The wealthy businessmen and aristocrats in the VIP seats in the front row were proud of their status and pretended to show disdain for the noisy noise. However, they were all whispering to each other in private, thinking about which player to bet on, and playing hard at the private handicap opened by the underground bank. Make a fortune.

As an "airborne table tennis player" who came in through the back door, Luo Jie did not go through the preliminaries to show his strength, so naturally he had few fans and popularity in the audience.

And compared with other top eight players who have their own characteristics, except for "Tazmi"'s killer face, his other aspects are just mediocre, and he instantly became a little transparent in the ring.

Since no one was paying attention, Luo Jie also took the opportunity to look at the other seven players beside him.

According to the information collected and integrated by explorers in previous lives, this martial arts tournament is actually one of the hidden tasks in this world, and the difficulty is not as trivial as described in the original work.

The average strength of the top eight players is around the blue level, and the final finals can even reach the purple level. Players of average strength will only stop at the top four.

It is impossible to achieve targeted beatings through the backboard.

Because of the original work of "Zhan Hong", there are only three players who will appear in this quarterfinals.

They are:

A Tsukiyotou swordsman from Hinawa Country who wields a katana.

A Western alien Spartan warrior who uses a shield and spear.

A tauren boxer of the orc race who uses boxing.

Other players appear randomly, and there are even cases of random intrusion from other worlds.

For example, the other four random players this time.

One is a fat pig-headed man covered in stinking dirt and surrounded by flies; the other is a double-sword female ninja wearing a red jumpsuit and an evil ghost mask; the other is an upright Komodo holding a machete and a buckler. Monitor lizard; the last one is the bearded third brother with a turban on his head and a row of curry powder bags around his waist.

After seeing the strange behavior in the field, Luo Jie especially wanted to complain - are you sure this is the hunter unit selection competition and not the best martial arts club in the world?

This style of painting is so special Dragon Ball! Do you dare to be more casual about the system?

On the rostrum, the little policewoman "Se Liu" smiled and waved her silver-white mechanical arm, and Luo Jie nodded friendly to her.

At the same time, he also clearly felt a cold and calm gaze falling on him.

"Is that your friend, Sai Liu? You know how brave you are to step into the ring even though you know the rules have been changed."

"Esdeath" sat up slightly, and his sharp eyes swept over the eight people in the ring one by one, and finally returned to the short boy again.

She suddenly and inexplicably felt that this young man seemed to be getting more and more pleasing to her eyes.

Perhaps "Esdel" himself didn't realize that this is a typical example of how there is no harm without contrast.

Mixed in a bunch of strange and random-looking people, even an ordinary person would look handsome, not to mention the character template of "Tazmi" is a handsome boy with temperament.

"Your friend's name is...Tazmi, right? I hope he can survive until the end."

"Esdeath" rarely showed concern for a certain player. "Lan" standing next to him couldn't help but have a surprised expression on his face, looking thoughtfully at the handsome young man in the audience.

The camera turns to the arena.

After introducing the information of the eight contestants present at a speaking speed of more than 200 words per minute, the eloquent host began to announce the rules of the competition.

"According to the order of General "Esdeath", this quarter-finals competition was changed to "beast fighting" rules. Any form of surrender will not be accepted during the competition, and the competition will not end until one of the parties dies. All seven games will be played continuously. No contestant is allowed to withdraw regardless of injury or disability. The last surviving contestant will be the winner. "

Once the temporarily changed rules were announced, the entire audience fell silent.

Isn't it? Playing so big? We are just here to see the victory or defeat, not to see the killing...

The faces of the contestants in the arena also changed dramatically. The eyes they looked at the competitors beside them were no longer full of pride and provocation, but became increasingly suspicious.

Not to mention them, even Luo Jie did not expect that this supposed to be an ordinary arena competition would suddenly have such a sudden increase in difficulty.

Could it be the butterfly effect caused by killing the masked man "Porus" who burned the troops in advance?

But having said that, this cruel elimination rule is indeed in line with the Queen's style...

Compared with the kind-hearted residents of the imperial capital, the wealthy merchants and nobles in the VIP seats were as excited as chicken blood. They didn't care about the life or death of those vulgar and low-class people. They also watched the martial arts competition. Of course, it was a real fight with their lives. Stimulate.

"The above are all the rules of this game. If there are any players who want to abstain, please step off the ring now. If you are willing to accept the rules and continue the game, then please go to the central black box to draw lots."

While the other players were still weighing whether to risk their lives for this not-so-high reward, Luo Jie had already walked to the black box covered with black cloth, and without any hesitation reached out and grabbed a number written on it. The number ball of "seven".

"Huh? Interesting."

The eyes of "Esdeath" on the podium lit up. She became more and more interested in this young man named "Tazmi".

Perhaps they were aroused by Luo Jie's actions, but none of the other seven players chose to quit, and stepped forward one after another to grab their own numbered balls.

…

Boom——!

With the crisp sound of the gong, the first game of the Hunter Selection Quarterfinals officially kicked off.

The first game - Sword and Shield Lizardman VS Ghost-faced Kunoichi.

As soon as the battle started, the lizardmen were attacked quickly by the Ghost Faced Kunoichi.

The lizard man is tall, and the sword and shield technique he uses is obviously the sword and shield technique of the Western alien military formation. Although this combat technique combined with his extraordinary physique is invincible on the battlefield, it is obviously unable to cope with the arena competition, which pays more attention to skills and tactics.

The lizard man was very lucky. He did not encounter opponents of similar strength in the preliminaries. He relied solely on the physical difference to get through. However, the good luck in the preliminaries now became his talisman.

In less than ten rounds of fighting between the two sides, the Ghostfaced kunoichi used a gorgeous substitute technique to induce a flaw in the lizard man's attack, and then the second knife that had been unsheathed at his waist instantly pierced the lizard man's throat.

The lizard man wanted to fight to the death with his strong vitality, so he dragged the ghost-faced kunoichi with him to die together. However, his whole body suddenly ignited with blue-purple flames without temperature. He knelt on the ground and howled in pain, and was finally kicked to pieces by the ghost-faced kunoichi that fell from the sky. Death by head.

The lizard man's body was carried down by the staff, and the blood stains on the ground were not even cleaned, and the game was announced to begin again.

The second game - Tsukidai Samurai VS Minotaur Boxer.

The Tsukiyotou Samurai are ronin from the Eastern Hizawa Kingdom. They use the swordsmanship inherited from their families. Their fighting style is sharp and brave, but also wise and calm.

The tauren studied under the Imperial Martial Arts Holy Land - the High Mountain Imperial Fist Temple. Although he was expelled from the sect for violating the precepts, he was already a ninth-level disciple before that, and was only one step away from acting as a master.

It stands to reason that the Tsukiyo-head samurai holding a sharp blade should have an advantage over the Minotaur boxer who is bare-handed, but the actual situation is exactly the opposite. The Minotaur boxer practices hard skills and horizontal training, coupled with the inherent racial With the advantage of thick skin, the sword of the Tsukiyotou warrior could not even leave a white mark when slashed, and all the so-called secret swords became a joke.

In panic, the swordsmanship of the Tsukiyotou samurai began to be full of loopholes. The Minotaur boxing expert became more and more courageous as he fought. Finally, he grabbed the shoulders of the Tsukiyotou samurai with a grappling method and used brute force to kill this warrior from the island country. The mustache was torn in two.

Luo Jie in the audience had an inexplicable illusion that he was watching an anti-Japanese drama.

Game 3 - Stinky Pig Head Man VS Curry Beard.

The two-meter-tall pig-headed man weighs hundreds of kilograms together with the hard-shell mud armor on his body. He stands like a heavy tank. It is difficult for ordinary people to shake her, let alone damage it.

If it were the tauren just now, the two behemoths of similar size might still be evenly matched, but the dark and thin bearded third brother in front of him, even if he is rubbed with magic oil, he does not look like a fierce man who can drive a tank.

But after the battle started, the bearded third brother shocked all the audience present.

He first jumped up and down like a monkey, UU reading www.uukansｈhu.net and kept throwing large amounts of curry powder on the pig-headed tank. When it was almost marinated, he suddenly spit out a ball of fire from his mouth, and suddenly That one detonated all the curry powder on the pig-headed man.

After the weirdly colored mushroom cloud dissipated, the aroma of roasted pig curry filled the air.

Several staff members carried the cooked pig-headed corpse off the ring on special stretchers. In the end, it was not known whether they dug a hole and buried it or sent it to the cafeteria for extra meals.

Game 4 - Luo Jie VS Spartan Warriors.

Compared with the previous players, this Spartan warrior wearing the iconic cockscomb helmet can be said to have no personal characteristics. His physique can only be regarded as strong, he has no special skills, and his attack and defense speed is not outstanding.

But looking at it from another perspective, the lack of outstanding advantages also means that there are no obvious weaknesses.

From the preliminaries onwards, this Spartan warrior has followed a steady and steady approach. When encountering those with strong defense, he will use speed, when encountering those with strong speed, he will use defense, and when encountering those with strength, he will use skills. Find the opponent's weaknesses in a targeted manner to take advantage of your own hexagonal warrior.

However, the biggest enemy of a hexagonal warrior is a warrior with a larger hexagon than him.

After some not-so-intense mutual testing, Luo Jie has determined that this Spartan warrior's attributes are far inferior to his in all aspects, and the gap in combat skills is several orders of magnitude.

Immediately, he no longer held back, and with an extremely domineering [Secret Art: Steel Cutting Flash], he split the Spartan warrior in half with his shield in half.

Luo Jie did not use two swords, but only one black sword [Blast·Elucidator].

The role he is currently playing is "Tazmi", a country boy who has just entered the imperial capital. A sword at the level of a minister can be said to be a family heirloom. If two swords appeared at the same time, it would be difficult to explain.
