Chapter 83
Behind the wall was a two-story drop. Ace didn't hesitate and jumped to Sebastian's side.
Sebastian was not stupid either. Since there were many people on the other side, he ran away.
But Ace didn't give him the chance, and the two of them engaged in close combat.
In the past, Sebastian was the strongest student in Taiyo Town in terms of physical skills and shooting. However, during this period of time, Ace had experienced several crises and raced against life and death. His strength had already made a qualitative leap, and he could fight Sebastian on equal terms without using extraordinary abilities.
Under the helmet, Sebastian's face became more and more ugly, but Ace kept pressing on, gradually forcing him into a corner.
Outside the arena, everyone was excited. The scene of their close combat was magnified, filling the entire big screen.
The commentator was even more excited: "I didn't expect this team, participating in the competition for the first time, to perform so well! Ace gave up his shield helmet to his teammates and fought closely against the strong team, even gaining a slight advantage! This player really left a deep impression on everyone."
Many people in the audience also cheered for Ace.
Sebastian was obviously unable to withstand Ace's attack and took out the Soul Hunting Gun, but Ace clamped Sebastian's wrist, twisted it with his backhand, and held the barrel of the Soul Hunting Gun with his other hand. The two men struggled with each other, neither giving in.
Sebastian was also furious, using all his strength. Seeing that he was about to pull the Soul Hunting Spear back, Ace slightly exerted force on the barrel of the gun, and the entire gun body was disintegrated, dissipating in Sebastian's palm like quicksand that could not be held.
Sebastian made a prompt decision and reached for the transformation reagent with his other hand, but Ace was one step faster than him. With a slight movement of his mind, the liquid of the extraordinary reagent floated in the air and then evaporated in wisps.
This time, Sebastian was completely dumbfounded.
Pure hand-to-hand combat was unacceptable, and the weapons and props were also dismantled by the opponent... This is simply an unstoppable monster!
Ace's image was projected onto the stadium's giant screen, and the commentator was rapturous: "Although this player is only at C-rank, we can see that he's utilized the Enhancement System and is now a B-rank Elemental Decomposition user. This ability truly possesses formidable combat power, making him an undeniable C-rank player. Given time, if his abilities can be further enhanced, he'll surely be a formidable force to be reckoned with."
Ace's fight made people's blood boil. Seeing that he didn't need help, his companions on the ledge applauded. When he won the duel and Sebastian was eliminated, warm cheers broke out all around.
Ace smiled and turned back to look at Tang Yu...
Suddenly, a strong tremor came from the cave!
"The cave is about to collapse!" Tang Yu shouted, "Hurry up and put on Sebastian's helmet! Let's go back!"
They had no time to celebrate or communicate. In the chaos, rocks of all sizes fell from above. Some dodged in time, some were injured, some ran back to their companions, some used their Beyonder abilities to teleport, and some dragged crystals...
When the light green door opened and closed again, a group of people appeared in the stone house in a dishevel, and came to Chester and the other two with crystal dust all over their bodies.
"Oh my god..." The defenseless Chester was choked and coughed.
Tang Yu brushed off the dust in front of his eyes: "You don't have shielding helmets, stay away."
After this search, the ranking of Taiyang Town Middle School climbed from 17th to 15th. Soon, they were ready to set off again.
The few of them agreed that this round, Tang Yu, Ace and Lin Yaoxin would guard the stronghold. They would leave one helmet for them, and the rest would take it away.
This stone house is divided into two floors. The man wearing a helmet stays upstairs with the crystal, while the remaining two rest downstairs or patrol the surrounding area.
Lin Yaoxin did not take off his helmet, so he was on guard upstairs, while Tang Yu and Ai Sixian were downstairs together.
The audience outside the screen had pink bubbles in their eyes and stared at the two with a little curiosity and anticipation, but Tang Yu did not show any emotional response at all. He just kept pulling Ace to discuss the battle tactics. Ace was still drunk and looked at Tang Yu quietly at first, but when Tang Yu became more and more excited and even pulled his arm, Ace suddenly covered Tang Yu's mouth and raised the index finger of his other hand, making a gesture of silence.
Tang Yu thought something had happened and asked nervously, "What's wrong? Are there any enemies approaching?"
Ace said nothing, but just moved his face closer and closer.
Tang Yu felt a little strange. Her face seemed to be infected by Ace's body temperature and gradually became hot. She jumped up and said, "I'll go upstairs and take a look!"
Her ears were burning, and she could feel her heart pounding in her chest. So she took a break on the stairs before approaching Lin Yaoxin: "Let me take your place for a while."
Lin Yaoxin didn't react at all, but shook his head slowly.
Tang Yu had a feeling something was wrong. She picked up Lin Yaoxin's helmet and suddenly found a crack on the right side of the helmet!
She quickly took off her helmet and found that Lin Yaoxin also looked drunk.
"Wake up! Wake up!" Tang Yu shook Lin Yaoxin, watching him try to open his eyes wide, then he breathed a sigh of relief, "Your helmet is broken! It must have been hit by a rock in the cave just now, and you didn't even know it! Come downstairs quickly!"
Lin Yaoxin looked up dazedly and suddenly burst into tears: "Wow... I miss my brothers so much! When will they come back?!"
Tang Yu's pupils suddenly dilated - what was going on!
Fragrance Crystal Shards can make people drunk, and the reactions of drunk people vary.
Some people, after being drunk, will just stay there quietly and look at you, and will not take any further action unless you approach them actively; some people will talk a lot, suddenly get excited, and want to do things they would not normally dare to do; and some people... will cry for no apparent reason, like Lin Yaoxin.
Tang Yu took great pains to drag Lin Yaoxin downstairs. As for where he bumped into something on the stone stairs, she didn't care at all. When she put the two drunks together, she was already out of breath.
She wiped the sweat from her head, feeling that she had a very miserable life. She then contacted the people who were still in the cave through the flag on her chest, reminding them to protect their helmets and remember to check whether they were damaged.
When all this was done, she found that Ace had closed his eyes, as if he had fallen asleep, while Lin Yaoxin had opened his big eyes, looking at her blankly, and suddenly said: "Tang Yu... I want to tell you a secret..."
Tang Yu suddenly had a bad feeling in her heart, and she wanted to stop him: "Let's talk about it later if there is anything..."
The Silver Bee robot was beside them, flapping its wings and diligently capturing every scene that happened here.
"Actually, Doctor An..."
As soon as Lin Yaoxin uttered a few words, Tang Yu became furious. He picked up the helmet next to him and threw it at Lin Yaoxin. However, this smash happened to hit the flying silver bee robot, destroying it on the spot. The live broadcast screen immediately went black, and all images and sounds disappeared.
The audience expressed disappointment - the plot was at its most exciting point, but it came to an abrupt end.
The main screen immediately switched back to Dihua, where substitute player Schnatter was replacing the eliminated Sebastian and heading directly from the gym to Island 4 to continue his reconnaissance work.
"Don't worry, our filming robot will catch up quickly." The host's voice was a little embarrassed.
"Why are the Silver Bees so easy to break down this year? And the replacements are slow!" Some viewers protested below.
This year's competition was indeed full of problems, but the host couldn't answer this question and could only pretend not to hear it.
In the stone house where the robot wasn't filming, the helmet hit the silver bee, causing it to deviate from its original trajectory and miss Lin Yaoxin's face. This allowed him to complete the sentence: "Actually, Dr. An... is your idol—Sangria."
Tang Yu's mouth opened slightly, her chest heaving violently, her expression both excited and complicated: "I knew it! Why did you tell me! I want to hear it from her own mouth!!"
She rushed over, grabbed Lin Yaoxin's shoulders, and whispered viciously in his ear, "Listen to me, shut up, don't talk nonsense here. We're still on the air, and if you let anything slip, I'll strangle you to death."
Lin Yaoxin seemed to be frightened by Tang Yu's threat. He blinked and looked at her innocently.
Tang Yu showed a dangerous smile: "Now, shut your mouth, close your eyes, and don't give me the chance to strangle you to death."
Lin Yaoxin immediately closed his eyes, as if he had seen some evil ghost.
At this moment, the substitute Silver Bee robot flew in from the window, but there was no sound in the stone house.
The scene here has fallen silent, so the main scene of the gymnasium cuts to other people.
The game went on normally, and it seemed that many things had stabilized, and Jas and Renee's nerves gradually calmed down.
While Ango was watching the game, he was also keeping an eye on Dylan and the movements around him.
This is a test of patience, and Ango feels that the time is not right yet.
The audience's protests were getting louder and louder. First, they were dissatisfied with the maintenance in the CD area, which caused inconvenience in movement. Second, they questioned the frequent damage of the Silver Bee robot. This forced the host to come out and clarify under pressure that all this was caused by unexpected factors and the organizer had no way to deal with it.
"To compensate everyone, we will give everyone a free drink..."
Before the host could finish his words, all the images on the screen suddenly turned into snowflakes, and a harsh noise drowned out the sound of his microphone...
"What's going on?"
"All the filming robots are inoperable?"
"What the hell, give me back my money!"
There were shouts of curses coming from the venue.
Ango glanced and saw that the security personnel guarding the door suddenly became alert as if they had received some instructions.
Dylan also stopped typing and stared at the big screen.
The time is almost here.
