Chapter 469: A Stalemate and a Hard Fight, a Victory Speech
Not long after, the violently surging energy on the ring suddenly stopped, the Yuan Clan dispersed, and Lancaster lay on the ground like a dead dog with a dazed look on his face.
The next moment, he floated down from the ring with a dazed look on his face.
Li Ming understood that situation very well. It was not just that he was beaten to the point of being unable to take care of himself, he was beaten to the point of being stunned.
He's experienced it countless times.
Of course, for these life forms that have long stood at the top of the interstellar world, this feeling has probably not been experienced for a long, long time.
"Alas... I really shouldn't have expected anything from you." The giant sighed.
The expressions of many people present changed. They were all high-ranking officials, and such a disappointed tone was really heartbreaking.
"Next..." The giant spoke. Dius's delicate cheeks changed. He gritted his teeth and went up to the ring.
Her evolutionary path was obviously not good at close combat, and her strength was not as good as Lancaster. In the second round, she was defeated.
"Next..." The giant said expressionlessly. Gonzales was next. He immediately said, "I forfeit."
He knew his situation and knew there was no way he could win. Rather than getting beaten up and losing face, he might as well give up.
"Give up?" The giant looked at him, his face revealing obvious contempt. "You don't even dare to fight, you're just a piece of trash. Roll down to the second-to-last place."
Gonzalez's face changed slightly. These words were too vicious.
But in this inexplicable space, he had no ability to resist the giant and could only silently walk to the end of the team.
He stopped and glanced at Li Ming.
For some reason, his mood suddenly improved a lot. Even though he gave up and was looked down upon by this giant, he still stood in front of Li Ming.
Li Ming had already taken a step back and was speechless. It was outrageous that even those who abstained could stand in front of him.
How is this comprehensive potential assessed?
But, it just so happens that after absorbing Claude, I can absorb Gonzales. Not bad... Not bad...
"Be careful, this kid has bad intentions." Claude reminded. Gonzalez nodded, but didn't care.
Li Ming is just Li Ming, what else can he do?
Li Ming glanced at the other person's back and pointed his finger at the other person's neck.
"What are you doing?" Gonzalez shuddered and suddenly spoke. Li Ming's eyes blurred and he flew backwards.
"Don't shout!" said the giant in a deep voice.
"He provoked me from behind." Gonzalez gritted his teeth and got up.
The giant's eyes swept over, and Li Ming was ready to be kicked away. He just glanced at him and said indifferently: "You gave up the game, you deserve it."
Gonzalez was almost furious, his chest heaving, his eyes filled with murderous intent, but he was helpless.
He walked back unwillingly and stared at Li Ming coldly, "If you dare to make any more small moves, Qinglong will not be able to protect you."
He left these words, but just as he stood still, he felt something strange about his arm, and his face suddenly became extremely ugly.
Li Ming simply ignored his words.
Another X-level gene source. Li Ming pondered, not knowing what the consequences would be when Gonzalez's gene source was extracted.
He is not a genetically evolved body, but an alternative evolutionary system.
But once the genetic material is extracted, there will inevitably be some manifestation, and it is very likely that it will be traced back to him.
Let’s see if there is any chance to kill these two guys.
By the time he had absorbed Gonzalez's genetic essence, it was Reynolds' turn. Although he had fought more than once, he still went up.
They were beaten down in the second round. Their physical strength was indeed not good enough.
"It seems that no one can pass this time." Mikhail sighed.
The people from the three major civilizations all had strange expressions on their faces. They were full of confidence when they came, believing that there would be no problem that could not be solved if they joined forces. However, they failed at the first step.
After Claw was thrown off, the giant looked around at everyone and said indifferently: "As expected, it is like this. You are the last one. Do you still want to waste time?"
"Well, if possible, I would like to try..." Li Ming asked tentatively.
"That's right. Although his potential is low, he dares to fight and fight hard, unlike the second to last one." The giant was not angry. Instead, he praised him and pulled Gonzalez out to whip his corpse.
"Go ahead, give it a try." The giant waved his hand, and Li Ming's body flew up uncontrollably.
The people in the audience didn't care and the atmosphere was a little heavy.
This first place is so difficult, and the remaining places may not be so easy to solve.
I'll come here and not come back empty-handed, right?
"Mikhail, please tell us clearly what the situation is in the remaining places first, so that we don't let things get out of hand..." Klau frowned, and before he could finish his words, he heard an incredible shout from Costat.
"S-class life form!"
Everyone looked over subconsciously, their faces suddenly froze. They saw that the Yuan clan that appeared in the surging mist had declined by more than one level in both physique and breath strength.
"How could it be an S-class life form? This trial is based on the life form itself..." Crow frowned and said halfway when he suddenly realized: "Li Ming is already an S-class life form?"
The audience was silent, and many higher life forms were stunned.
They were just doubting Li Ming's development potential and whether he was faking it, but now they are hit hard.
"How could it be an S-class lifeform..." Reynolds murmured. Mikhail also lost his usual calmness and looked solemn: "This speed is too fast."
Costat was the first to react, as if he had thought of something.
I subconsciously touched my middle finger and found a ring on it, which was a folded space, but I couldn't open it at all.
"Unbelievable..." Dius's delicate face was filled with astonishment as he murmured softly, "There's something wrong with the detection mechanism here."
Gonzalez's face became increasingly gloomy, and he stared at Li Ming on the ring.
"Qinglong is indeed worthy of his reputation. He dares to send a student like this to take risks." Cedric couldn't help but admire.
Costat couldn't help but speculate: "If it's based on life level, Li Ming might have a chance to pass."
Others have also realized this, and the lower the level of life, the smaller the gap.
Qinglong didn't know this would happen, right?
Mikhail's face was gloomy. Although they shared a lot of information about Qinglong, they had hidden information about several key areas.
No, he was the one hiding it. As for Reynolds...
He glanced at Reynolds, who was quite excited.
Li Ming's face looked very solemn, as if he was being very cautious, waiting for the other party to attack first.
This S-level Yuan clan member suddenly moved, and gray-black lightning burst out from his body, rushing towards him like a black shadow.
"Gray lightning energy... primarily damages the frontal area, but can cause some paralysis in the middle and later stages, and can affect the spiritual body..."
Relevant information subconsciously emerged in Li Ming's mind, but on the surface he looked a little flustered. After being hit head-on, his limbs twitched and he staggered.
"Seriously lacking combat experience..." Gonzales sneered, "I guess it'll be hard to win in the first round."
"Shut up!" the giant said in a deep voice, "You, the useless idiot who gave up, have no right to comment."
Gonzalez: “…”
"Although I lack combat experience, I only have one opponent after all." Costat shook his head.
The S-level battle was clearly visible to them.
The tactics adopted by Li Ming were similar to those in the early stage. He would defend first, figure out the opponent's methods and battle rhythm, then find an opportunity to counterattack and act decisively. It was not difficult to win.
"Li Ming's development progress does not exceed 10%, and the enemy's combat capability should be around 30S. The gene seeds fused by Li Ming should all be the strongest, slightly stronger than the enemy." Deus roughly guessed Li Ming's current strength performance.
"Less than 10%..." Everyone looked surprised. Li Ming was already an S-level life form, which was amazing enough. Even a little more development progress would be astonishing.
"Too many opportunities were wasted during the battle." Crow couldn't help but shake his head.
The giant nodded with satisfaction, "Not bad, it exceeded my expectations."
Li Ming forced a smile, then focused on the next battle.
"He probably won't be able to hold out for long this time. Two enemies of the same level are still too difficult for him." Dius watched the battle on the field. She had faced this situation before and was more experienced.
This time it was still a matter of defense first, and the difficulty was obviously increased. Li Ming spent a full ten to twenty minutes on the defense.
Costat rubbed his chin. "It lasted longer than I imagined."
"You can actually fight back?" Mikhail was stunned. The situation on the ring suddenly changed. He didn't know if it was a coincidence.
Li Ming found a rare opportunity to attack, launched a counterattack, and directly severely injured an enemy. After another ten minutes of stalemate, he barely won.
"Won?" Claude was bewildered. As the fight went on, he inexplicably gained the upper hand.
On the ring, Li Ming looked exhausted and out of breath, breathing heavily. The scars on his body were healing rapidly. His face was extremely pale and his body was staggering, as if he would fall down at any moment.
"Good!" The giant nodded loudly, with a slight smile on his face. "Yes, you are already much stronger than these people."
Dius blushed and pretended not to hear.
On the ring, Li Ming took a deep breath, his body seemed to have almost recovered, and there was a determination in his eyes.
"As expected of Qinglong's student."
After a brief moment of surprise, everyone couldn't help but nod their heads. Even though they had all sorts of thoughts about Qinglong, it was undeniable that he was unfathomable.
If you think about it carefully, it is not unexpected that his students would behave in this way.
One against four, it's impossible to win again, right?
Although no one spoke, they all had similar thoughts in their minds.
It was a tough battle from the start. Li Ming seemed to be alone in the siege and was surrounded by danger.
There were several times when even the head and heart faced fatal attacks, but he barely avoided them and looked extremely embarrassed.
But everyone watched, but no one expressed their opinions rashly, as if they had an inexplicable sense of déjà vu.
"The counterattack has begun..." Costat suddenly said.
On the ring, Li Ming indeed began to fight back with difficulty.
"We're going to win." Mikhail said quietly. Although the situation still seemed very tense and Li Ming was even at a disadvantage, he didn't know why he felt this way.
But after another ten minutes or so, the situation took a turn for the worse again. Li Ming seemed to be exhausted and was besieged again, falling into a desperate situation.
"Huh..." Dius breathed a sigh of relief and said, "This is probably the only way we can go."
The tension in the hearts of the others also relaxed, and their expressions changed.
However, the situation remained deadlocked for another ten minutes. Suddenly, Li Ming entered a state of liberation, his vitality rising. He found an opportunity in the gap and killed one, then the second...
Finally, Li Ming stood shakily on the ring. His breathing seemed to be more frequent and his whole body was shaking slightly, but his eyes showed a kind of determination.
Below, everyone looked stunned and surprised. They actually won again?
"Haha... Good, good..." the giant laughed. "Not bad, there's actually a good seedling. It's a pity that his overall potential is too low, but it's already very good."
This giant's thinking and emotions are not flexible, but rather rigid.
At the same time, eight members of the Yuan clan appeared on the stage and surrounded Li Ming.
Although they were on a lower level than them, everyone's expressions became solemn when they put themselves in their shoes.
But not long after the battle began, their faces fell, and Li Ming was still struggling to defend.
Dius's palm-sized face darkened, and he couldn't help but ask, "Does he think we are fools?"
The scene before me is really too familiar.
This is how Li Ming behaved when they were facing off against two opponents, and they believed him.
The same behavior occurred when it was one against four, and they believed it too.
Now it's one against eight, and they still perform like this. Even a fool would figure out that something is wrong.
It was another classic difficult and arduous start, and it seemed that the game was collapsing under siege and was in danger.
In fact, Li Ming himself was a little embarrassed. Although his acting skills were superb, repeating the same routine three times seemed a bit fake.
But Li Ming's identity is not Qinglong, which can be elevated unlimitedly. He is just an S-level life form, and his combat level must be within this framework.
The level of life can be explained by the potential for development, but the level of strength cannot be explained.
This "hard battle" at least makes it difficult for them to understand the specific situation.
"Is his strength so strong, or is there something wrong with the detection mechanism?" Costat frowned.
They had all been in the ring, and the enemy's strength level was indeed almost the same as their own.
Cedric shook his head. "It must be some kind of special ability. Haven't you noticed? He's very resistant, strong-willed, and always looking for opportunities."
"He will really win?" Reynolds still found it a little unbelievable. This was something that even a forging hammer could not do.
Not long after, everyone saw Li Ming's difficult counterattack, and then he was suppressed, and then he was counterattacked again, and then he was suppressed again... a back and forth stalemate.
The energy in the ring is boiling.
"It doesn't seem like he's pretending. This should be his limit." Everyone watched carefully.
With their keen eyesight, they could tell that Li Ming was indeed exhausted now, and that state did not seem to be fake.
So, after a few minutes, Li Ming won.
It was a hard and difficult victory, and I was almost defeated several times.
In the audience, everyone looked on expressionlessly.
