Chapter 431: Tian Ji's Horse Racing
So the blind swordsman and the golden dragon entered their respective abyss black holes.
In the black hole, Shi Li didn't know what was happening and couldn't see anything.
In short, after a few minutes, a golden light burst out at the entrance of the cave.
【roar!!!】
The five-clawed golden dragon rushed out from inside, covered with wounds.
"this……"
He didn't expect the abyss inside would be so dangerous.
Is it not easy to break through even S-level followers?
"Alas, if there is any mistake, my followers will be killed."
After half a minute, the messenger Tingfeng spoke again.
Shi Li passed the third level in such a confused manner.
He began to wonder if the Messenger of Eavesdropping was releasing water.
I always feel that whether it is the wind chaser or the wind listener, they both give me a kind of intimate feeling.
But it turned out that he was overthinking it.
Level 4, Knife Mountain Level.
He asked his followers to search for the only famous sword among the mountains composed of tens of millions of knives.
This level also has time scaling.
1 minute on display, 1 year in the scenario.
Then Shi Li looked at the follower of the Messenger of Listening to the Wind, who spent 10 years to finally find the correct answer.
The sweeping monk he sent out didn't even search half of the mountain of swords.
In the end, he was defeated at this level.
In fact, if the [False Saint] is sent in at this level, it would be quite easy to complete it with its Fiery Eyes and Golden Pupils.
In the third challenge opportunity, Shi Li was defeated after only three levels.
The first level is the Fire Customs Level, which requires the follower to catch a fire koi in a sea of lava.
He sent out a five-clawed golden dragon, which relied on the golden light to break through the lava as easily as flying.
The robot sent by the Wind-Listening Messenger was the Kirin Arm Robot.
It melted immediately as it was engulfed in flames.
It seems to be another strategy of Tian Ji's horse racing.
Shi Li seriously suspected that the only use of this robot might be for arm wrestling.
The second level is the listening water level.
This level is more or less like listening to rumors.
No, it should be said that the taste is very strong.
The content is to place 10,000 cups filled with different levels of water.
Find the only correct answer by tapping the tone produced.
The correct answer can only be heard once before the game officially begins, and the amount of water in some of these tens of thousands of cups is extremely close to the correct answer.
Shi Li suspected that even with the legendary absolute pitch, it would be very easy to make mistakes when faced with this difficult problem.
What's more, even if there is no error in distinguishing, among ten thousand water cups, by the thousandth one, the correct tone may have been forgotten.
For this level, he sent out Master Fahai.
Then the followers sent by the messenger Tingfeng were obviously experts among experts.
The blind swordsman.
Everyone knows that the blind have extremely sharp hearing.
What's more, this should be an S-level follower.
At the beginning of the level, the opponent used a method that Shi Li considered to be cheating.
He directly used the sword energy to stir the ten thousand water cups present at the same time.
He is really good at pretending.
But the result was not satisfactory, and the blind swordsman's equipment could be said to be in vain.
The sound made by ten thousand water cups at the same time was too complicated, and he actually chose the wrong answer.
The one who finds the correct answer first is the winner.
If the other party submits the answer first but it is wrong, the other party is the winner.
So the big bald guy Fahai won the victory inexplicably.
In order to save face for the messenger who listened to the wind, Shi Li really felt a little uncomfortable trying to hold back his laughter.
Level 3: Taste level.
Nearly a thousand kinds of seasonings were placed in front of the followers, and they were asked to taste them one by one.
After the tasting, a pot of devilish food stew is served.
The followers are allowed to taste the food unlimitedly, and can get more if they don't have enough.
But you are required to state all the seasonings used in it at once.
The one who was sent by the wind-listening messenger was that fairy.
The one sent out by Shi Li was the Sweeping Monk.
The expressions on the two followers' faces after tasting all kinds of condiments were enough to describe a journey of life.
And accompanied by alternating vomiting.
When they tasted the main course, the two followers fainted at the same time after the first bite.
According to this situation, the two sides were finally declared a draw.
Judging from the expression on the Wind-Listening Messenger's face, even she herself should know that the settings of this level are unreasonable.
However, according to the rules, Shi Li did not win, so this round was considered his failure.
Finally, after using up his three chances and experiencing all kinds of weird challenges, he was expelled from the dungeon.
"None of these challenges are normal. I guess I have to take an unconventional approach."
He had some ideas in mind, but unfortunately it would take ten days before they could be realized.
A new round of regional competition will begin soon.
This time, a normal competition system finally appeared.
Each of the 6 teams will send out 3 players to play a normal 9+1 game.
The format is best of three.
Then the draw will be conducted to form the top 8.
There are 6 teams competing in the quarterfinals, so naturally two teams will have a bye.
Then the remaining 4 teams will be selected to enter the top 4.
The two losing teams will compete again to determine the 5th and 6th place.
The same applies to the top four, the winning two teams will decide the 1st and 2nd places, and the losing two teams will decide the 3rd and 4th places.
As for which two teams had byes, the organizer's decision was a bit unexpected.
It's not a lottery that depends on luck or fate.
Instead, the two teams currently ranked 5th and 6th in total number of players will be given a bye.
It can also be considered a kind of care for students with poor academic performance.
The two teams are the Wind Chasing Team and the Determined Team.
Then the remaining 4 teams will draw lots.
The remaining teams are the Balance Team, the Wisdom Team, the Violence Team, and the Listening Wind Team.
The teams that are most reluctant to be encountered by other teams are naturally the Balance Team and the Wisdom Team.
Then the draw result was as expected, the Balance Team and the Wisdom Team were drawn to different sides.
After the top four are decided, the two sides will draw lots again.
The opponent of the Balance team is the Tingfeng team.
Before the game started, they were hailed as the temporary top three team because they had S-level cards.
However, they lacked momentum and have now been overtaken by the violent team.
In a normal game of cards, there is naturally nothing much to say.
Shi Li and his team are arranged according to their ranking within the team.
He, the little one, and the third person in the team.
Now it’s hard to tell who is who, they are all called Wang Defa.
Just call him No. 3 Wang Defa.
On the day of the competition, the three were teleported to the stadium on time.
[Balanced team, I hope both of us can contribute to a wonderful game. 】
As both sides stood still, greetings from the Tingfeng team came from the opposite side.
Maybe because of the regional atmosphere, the Tingfeng team was not that aggressive.
Shi Li had seen the information about their team.
What is quite striking is that the player with the S-level card is not the first pick in the team.
It's No. 2, which is very strange.
Before the game officially starts, there is a procedure to decide the order in which each player will appear on the field.
"So, who will play in this match?"
In the players' waiting area, Xiaojie looked at his two teammates.
"Tian Ji's Horse Race."
Shi Li told what he had learned from the Wind-Listening Messenger a few days ago.
The best situation is that their No. 1 beats the opponent's No. 2, No. 2 beats the opponent's No. 3, and No. 3 beats the opponent's No. 1.
"But we don't know the opponent's order of appearance, how should we deal with it?"
No. 3 Wang Defa raised a question.
“…”
Shi Li glanced at the other person and said, "Tian Ji's horse racing."
"In fact, the opponent has no way of knowing our ranking."
Xiaojieren offered his own suggestion: "According to common sense, 123 or 321 is a more common order.
But the problem is that the strength of the opponent's No. 2 and No. 1 is a bit confusing.
I have been studying the materials provided by the logistics team these days.
In fact, from the representative qualifying round to the nearly ten rounds of regional competitions, No. 1 of the Tingfeng team has never performed better than No. 2.
So it’s really hard to say whether No. 1 is stronger than No. 2.
I don’t know how they rank themselves internally.”
Finally, after some discussion, the three of them temporarily arranged the order.
Those who haven't played yet can change the order at any time, so the most important thing now is who to send first.
The people they sent out were small-sized people.
Up to now, Shi Li’s performance on the field can be described as transcendent.
In fact, without him, Xiaojieren should be the undisputed No. 1 pick for the balanced team.
In other words, this player already possesses the ability to be the team leader, but he just met Shi Li.
As a result, the second-ranked Xiaojieren was the first to appear and met the opponent's first-ranked player.
Then in this game, the opposing team's leader showed why he was able to use an all-A deck to defeat No. 2 who had S-level cards.
But very few people may be able to see this.
Shi Lizheng is one of them.
He could clearly feel that this No. 1 was hiding his strength.
The opponent's prediction was like a cheat, every time it was accurate.
But this is only used to build an advantage in the early stages of the game.
After the advantage was established, the opponent began to let go without leaving a trace.
Anyway, just keep a small advantage and win in the end.
Now, Shi Li finally understood why the other party was not ranked high in the intelligence evaluation.
Because it seems that they are all narrow wins or small wins.
But he always had the feeling that the whole game was in the hands of his opponent.
In this regard, he deliberately paid attention to the other party's code name.
It's called [What are you looking at], a very strange code name.
In the best-of-three format, Xiaojie only lost one game, and the balance representative was on the edge.
If you lose one more game, you will be eliminated in this round.
However, after another discussion, Shi Li chose to trust his teammates.
The second player they sent out was No. 3 Wang Defa.
In fact, it doesn’t matter much who goes on first and who goes on later.
Because no matter the order, you need to win all the remaining games to advance.
The opponent also seemed to want to play the Tian Ji horse racing game and sent out the third ranked player.
As a result, he met No. 3 Wang Defa, and his plan failed.
No. 3 Wang Defa's personal characteristics in this game are quite obvious, and his main focus is a set of quick attack to endurance.
At the beginning of the game, use an explosive flow attack to create an empty seat at the table.
Then if you have established an advantage, continue to attack.
If you are at a disadvantage or tied, switch to an explosive summoning flow using the empty space on the field.
In the end, we won with a clear advantage.
So in this way, Shi Li’s opponent was decided.
That is, the No. 2 player of the Tingfeng team who possesses an S-level card.
Whoever wins the game will advance.
The opponent's S-level card has been shown before.
That was a card that even Shi Li coveted.
Its projection is an old man floating in the air, almost invisible.
【Time Enlightenment】
Listen to the wind, 30 minutes, S
Attack 0, 200/200, 0/10
[No Contention - Passive]: Time Enlightened One cannot [Attack] or [Defend]
[Self-cultivation - Passive]: Time Enlightened One's attack power -30, upper limit of health +100
[Enlightenment - Passive]: 1 turn of the Time Enlightened One is equal to 2 turns
[Preaching - Passive]: When the Time Enlightened One leaves the field, a card with a score of 30 or less will gain an additional Time Enlightened One entry in this game.
[Devotion - 10 Energy]: The Time Enlightened One leaves the field, and a card with a score of 30 or less is awarded an additional Time Enlightened One entry in this round.
This card is very similar to his [Time Dragon].
Then there is a top-quality S-level auxiliary card.
In fact, it has only one function, which is to turn your card's 1st turn into 2nd turn.
For the three cards, Ting Feng Zhui Feng Po Shi, the increase in rounds can not only double the output, but also may bring the possibility of doubling the energy recovery.
The key is that the two terms "preaching" and "martyrdom" can act on different objects respectively.
That is, [Offer the Tao] to Card A so that it can gain [Enlightenment].
Then pass [Transfer] to card B so that it can also gain [Enlightenment].
In this way, it is almost equivalent to sacrificing one card, [Time Enlightened], giving your side two more cards.
You gain a card for free, not to mention the self-enhancement that the benefiting card can get.
For example, if [Kung Fu Sheep God] gets [Enlightenment], then it can directly use [Exit] twice in one round, which makes it invincible.
There is also the [Five-clawed Golden Dragon], which can complete 2 irresistible controls in each round, which is also awesome.
Of course, in theory, the skill of [Preaching] does more than just allow the target card to learn the skill of [Enlightenment].
The key is these entries of [Time Enlightened One], except for [Enlightenment], there is nothing else that can be used.
【No Contention】 is a completely useless term.
[Slimming] can be used for meat shields.
However, it takes 5 rounds of the actual table to charge [Time Enlightener]. In this high-end game, by the time it is fully charged, the meat shield is probably almost dead.
However, the two entries [Preach] and [Dedicate] can actually be inherited.
Shi Li had also seen the other party use it this way in a case.
It's basically an A→B→C method.
For example, [Time Enlightened] lets [Five-clawed Golden Dragon] choose one of his own skills.
[Five-clawed Golden Dragon] chose [Preaching] or [Sacrificing].
Then [Five-clawed Golden Dragon] uses its [Bad Power - Passive]: The effects caused by the Five-clawed Golden Dragon cannot be immune
Pass it to the [Kung Fu Sheep God] so that it is no longer afraid of the [Coating].
This method is feasible.
It's just too complicated to operate.
It also involves issues such as whether card B has enough 10 energy points and whether it can be withdrawn in time.
It can make tactics more varied, but it is not as practical as directly delivering [Enlightenment].
Anyway, Shi Li is not afraid of this card.
It's easy to crack it.
