NABC 25-15 Opponent
25-15 Opponent
When the time came, Mo Bei began watching his potential future opponents. Since their matches were all taking place at the same time, Mo Bei could only choose one pair to watch. Dongfang Yun, in the small world, also watched and helped analyze the matches.
Yu Hong said to Mo Bei, "You're pretty lucky, kid! You got a bye. If I get the chance, I'd really like to play a match against you." Mo Bei wished him good luck. Dongfang Yun chuckled to himself, thinking, "What kind of time is this to be wishing a potential opponent good luck? Mo Bei is too naive." So, would Mo Bei choose to watch him play?
Mo Bei chose the flying swordsman, who was paired with someone using fire-type spiritual power. It turned out that Yu Hong's move held no appeal for him. Mo Bei became somewhat expectant; regardless of who won, it would be advantageous for him: "I have high fire resistance and can also attack aerial targets. Although I might have one less strong opponent, it's already very good."
The competition was held in a special venue, completely different from where Mo Bei had previously competed. There were special VIP boxes, and no commentary, as these were special spectators, some there to scout for talent. At the start, the man with the flying sword summoned his sword first, reflecting the gazes of all the spectators; he was the most favored. Another man, with flames ignited in his hand, looked like a lower-tier version of Mo Bei.
The fire-wielding man fired three fireballs first, while the sword-wielding man controlled his sword to deflect the incoming fireballs, making the sword even sharper and harder. The fireballs were pierced and shattered, scattering flames across the ground.
Mo Bei was analyzing the situation with Dongfang Yun in the small world. To cultivate Mo Bei's abilities, Dongfang Yun chose to have them analyze separately. Mo Bei initially concluded that the flying sword man's spiritual power came from flying swords, while the fire man's came from flames. Due to the unique nature of this elimination tournament, spiritual power and cultivation levels were not disclosed. Dongfang Yun's conclusion was pending, as she discovered that these flying swords were made of iron, and their spiritual power did not come from the swords themselves. She shared the same view regarding the fire man.
The fire-man dodged the flying sword, which tore at the hem of his clothes. He immediately turned and unleashed a burst of flame at the sword, melting it in the heat. Inside a VIP box, a dragon-man watched all this and shook his head. His assistant, somewhat annoyed, thought, "They say they're recruiting, but they don't go to a proper place to recruit, they come to this kind of place. They're just trying to satisfy their own desire to watch the game. A traitorous scoundrel! If it weren't for the Miltsky Incident, would you even have your position?" The dragon-man beckoned, "Dragon Gunas, come here, get me a glass of water." The man named Dragon Gunas could only bring him a glass of water.
Flames erupted around the fire-man, weaving a dragon behind him. The fire dragon spiraled upwards, finally fixing its gaze on the flying swordsman. The flying swordsman, seeing this, was excited: "They were hiding something. Looks like they're getting serious." The dragon-man jumped up excitedly: "This is the talent I've been looking for! After we win this match, quickly ask if he's interested in joining the Dragon Hall, Long Gunas, do you hear me?" Long Gunas could only reply: "Yes, acting hall master." The acting hall master was displeased: "How many times have I said it? As long as the hall master hasn't found me, it's real. Don't talk about acting or not, do you hear me?" Long Gunas could only reply yes.
Mo Bei and Dongfang Yun both removed the original fire elemental from the Fire Man's form and replaced it with a fire dragon. Mo Bei was unsure if he would have an advantage against the fire dragon.
A small fire dragon coiled around the fire-wielding man's right arm, unleashing five bursts of fiery breath. The flying sword-wielding man manipulated his sword, the flames on the ground merging with it. He immediately steered the sword towards the fireballs, which absorbed spiritual energy from the air mid-flight, expanding in size and increasing in speed. They swept across the ground, shattering the flying sword, and hurtled towards the flying sword-wielding man.
Seeing this, the man with the flying sword immediately summoned his sword again, desperately trying to extinguish the fireball. He was making a decision: whether or not to reveal his trump card.
The sword-wielding man dodged the fireballs; the earlier obstruction of his sword had bought him considerable time. However, the fire man wasn't foolish either, launching numerous more fireballs, and flames were gathering in the mouth of the fire dragon, indicating it was charging up something. The sword-wielding man decided to defeat the fire man in close combat; after all, he intended to defeat Yu Hong, and this man wasn't someone he could use his trump cards against. He charged at the fire man, sword in hand. Seeing the sword-wielding man about to engage in melee, the fire man's arm also flamed.
The swordsman slashed out with his blade, and the fire man slightly retreated to dodge. The fire dragon unleashed a pillar of fire. "That's all we can do, but it shouldn't be noticeable." The swordsman immediately slashed at the pillar of fire, actually managing to cleave it open. He then intensified his attack on the fire man, who countered with an even stronger burst of flames, but to no avail. Ultimately, the fire man was killed by the swordsman; all the deaths were merely a means to ensure the survival of one person.
The acting leader looked dejected, as if he had lost some treasure; in reality, he had only wanted to prove himself.
Mo Bei showed his analysis to Dongfang Yun: a flying sword powered by spiritual energy. Dongfang Yun didn't quite agree and showed his analysis to Mo Bei: the flying sword user's spiritual energy was likely of the manipulation type, his cultivation level was around that of a Star Envoy, and he most likely possessed all spiritual techniques.
