Chapter 467 Player Competition 3
After receiving a "caring" remark from his father, the jungle battle ended in this bizarre and amusing atmosphere.
The winning team wasn't very happy, and the losing team was even more disappointed.
There was nothing they could do; they all came with grand ambitions, but ended up leaving behind a timid and cowardly history that could be played on repeat throughout the entire Qing Dynasty.
The second round of the "battle for the champion".
The five winning teams in the first round become the champions of the five arenas, and the remaining 20 teams can challenge any of the champions.
The reigning champion earns 1 point for each successful defense, 2 points for every two successful defenses, and so on. If they fail to defend their title, half of their total points are deducted. The challenging team that wins gains half of the reigning champion's points and automatically becomes the new champion, and the cycle repeats.
The battle lasted for four hours. When the time was up, the last five teams with the lowest scores were eliminated.
Kangxi carefully reviewed the rules to ensure that the situation from the first round would not repeat itself before announcing them.
Thinking of how his perfect start had been ruined by Yinzhi, Kangxi, who was so angry that he gritted his teeth, picked up Liang Jiugong's whisk again and chased after Yinzhi.
"Oh—Eunuch Liang, what did you use to make your whisk?"
Liang Jiugong smiled. This wasn't about being anxious for the Emperor's sake; he had simply improved the material of the whisk using fine steel wire.
The position of Grand Eunuch is so secure :)
...
"A one-on-one arena?"
Seeing Yinzhi rushing over to make the suggestion, Yinreng and Yinsi exchanged a glance and asked, "Haven't you been beaten enough by Father Emperor yet?"
Yinzhi glared back, all bark and no bite, just stubbornness: "Who was hit by Father Emperor! Second Prince, don't interrupt."
After saying that, he turned to look at Yinzhi and advised, "Eighth Brother, you see, just having the students compete isn't enough. Why not set up a singles arena battle for us top players to participate? No points will be awarded, just to showcase the Qing Dynasty's top combat strength and put the people at ease."
"You're quite good at boasting." Yinreng looked Yinzhi up and down. "Who acknowledged you as a top-tier fighter?"
"You're not convinced? Let's have a match in the arena!"
Yinzhi puffed out his chest in defiance, determined not to give up on the idea of a one-on-one duel.
“Adding a competition on short notice is not so simple,” Yinzhi explained seriously. “It requires coordinating manpower and resources from all sides, and most importantly, it requires Father’s approval.”
“We can go together to persuade Father Emperor,” Yinzhi said with a righteous expression. “I think Father Emperor is very suitable to be the first person to defend the throne. There’s no need for a real competition. Just have a casual fight to start the atmosphere and let the whole world witness Father Emperor’s majesty. What a great idea.”
Yinreng sneered, "Eldest brother, do you think you can hide your little tricks from Father Emperor?"
After scanning Yinzhi up and down until he made him uncomfortable, Yinreng continued to tease him, "But you're really bold. Father Emperor hits you, and you want to hit back?"
"Who wants to fight back?" Yinzhi jumped three feet away and retorted loudly, "Don't slander me!"
"Brother, isn't your reaction a bit too much?"
Yinzhi held up his finger to indicate the distance between the two of them. This was what it meant to make a move before the fight even started.
Yinzhi couldn't help but cover his face, then recklessly declared, "Anyway, I just want to hold a solo tournament. So, are you guys going to join me or not?"
In the end, Yinreng and Yinsi agreed to go and consult with Kangxi together, though it's hard to say they weren't also hoping to see a show unfold.
Good news! Emperor Kangxi has agreed to add another singles arena competition to showcase the Qing Dynasty's top-tier military strength.
The bad news is that Yinzhi failed to persuade Kangxi to come forward, and after Yinreng and Yinsi left, he was kept in the hall alone.
What happened in the Qianqing Palace that day is not for outsiders to know, except that Eunuch Liang's whisk was sent out again for an upgrade.
...
After the "Battle for the Champion" ended, Hesheli Wanyi announced that a new solo champion battle would be added three days later. This battle would not affect the overall competition results and would not be limited to any particular player. All players in the Qing Dynasty could register to participate and compete against the top players.
"Am I, a support staff member, considered top-tier combatant?"
The singles championship competition set up twelve arenas. Yin You pushed up his monocle, looking confused. He didn't understand how he had become one of the twelve.
“Support vs. support,” Yinqi patted his shoulder. “Don’t worry, it’s all live. Physical attack vs. physical attack, magic attack vs. magic attack, support vs. support… It’s perfectly reasonable.”
Yin You glanced at him indifferently, "Are you sure it will develop this way?"
"What's uncertain about that? How can you tell the difference if you don't compete with opponents of the same type?"
Then, Yinqi encountered the support-type Lord Tang Bin on the arena.
"Lord Tang, I'm a physical attack user." Yinqi deliberately took out his twin pistols and twirled them in his hands, worried that Tang Bin was too old to see clearly.
"Your Majesty understands."
Tang Bin remained calm and composed. After venturing into the game, the sixty-year-old successfully unlocked the architect ability, which belonged to the support category. Feeling that he was bound to the Ministry of Works for the rest of his life, Tang Bin suddenly rebelled.
Who says architects have to be assistants? He wants to prove himself!
Of course, the rebellious sixty-year-old man also has his logic. He's not good at magic-based attacks; he mainly targets physical attack-based attacks.
Of the twelve arenas, three are physical attackers. Compared to the mecha warrior Prince Yinzhi and the magic monk Lingbo Sect Jinzhan, the dual-wielding Fifth Prince Yinqi seems easier to deal with.
"Alright, come on."
Tang Bin was serious, and Yin Qi also respected his opponent.
As soon as he finished speaking, the bullet that Yinqi fired was blocked by the wall that Tang Bin raised. Then, countless obstacles rose up from all directions, and Tang Bin created a maze for him on the arena.
Yinqi: "As expected of an architect. But don't underestimate the power of my dual pistols!"
On the other side, on the arena, Yin You looked at Suo'etu standing in front of him, completely puzzled. "Lord Suo, weren't you supposed to challenge my elder brother? Did your conversation fall apart?"
"We didn't talk! I didn't talk to the First Prince!"
Soetu was about to collapse. He didn't know why, but the princes all felt that he and the eldest prince would have something in common. Even the crown prince came to ask him about it a few days ago.
He was more wronged than Dou E; saying he had an affair with the First Prince is less accurate than saying he had an affair with Mingzhu.
Pushing up his glasses nonchalantly, Yin You continued, "But you, a violent bomber, are challenging me, a pure research assistant? Did I offend you?"
"Seventh Prince, there's no need to belittle yourself. His Highness the Crown Prince said that you are exceptionally talented and the bombs you make are quite good."
"Oh." Yinyou nodded, understanding. Soetu was "exclusive."
Although Songgotu was always exclusive in his treatment of the crown prince, it was still very unpleasant to see him being treated this way.
"Since Lord Suo has said so, then I won't stand on ceremony with you."
Let's get a concrete sense of the power of mathematics, physics, and chemistry. He himself has no physical strength, but he can arm himself with physical strength!
Yin You lightly touched the edge of his monocle, and a flash of blue light appeared. Soon, countless machines enveloped Yin You. "The bomb that Second Brother praised, Lord Suo, please take a look."
With a snap of his fingers, Yin You sent out four mechanical arms that extended from behind him, launching eight bombs.
Soetu: "!" Who is the bomb thrower?! How can you have eight arms?! Is it a spider?!
