Song of Time – Dusk Awakening Verse - Chapter 121

Final Day (Part 1)

This dry rock city, I really don’t know when it will rain a little…

Yun Xuan stood boredly in the center of the ring, dangling his pipe and glanced at the still cloudless sky.

Today is the team finals day. Sixteen winning teams entered the finals. The venue has also changed from a simple open-air arena to the world-famous Rock City Arena. I don’t know if they were lucky. They got No. 1 as the starting venue for the first round of the team. Their opponents were the Rock City mercenary team, which is not top but tough and popular.

The three of them had been waiting on the stage for a while. It stands to reason that the players should enter the arena at least a quarter of an hour earlier, so that the audience can better understand both sides of the competition, which in turn will increase their level of engagement when watching the game. However, until now, none of the members of the Star Chaser team showed up. There were only these three men standing and basking in the sun. They looked a little stupid, and they were still sitting under the umbrellas behind them. “Look at the lively people-Xiao Miyou and Fat Bird Ahuang.

The sun was shining brightly, and the shining light passed through the protective cover produced by the special energy generator on the top of the ring. Not only was it not weakened at all, it was even more fiery hot, and it burned like a fire on people.

The crowds of spectators in the stands were a little unable to sit still because of the long time waiting in this hot weather. Someone began to knock on the stone guardrail beside them, making waves of hiss. Right in front of the ring, the narrator in the tall broadcasting tower outside the circular grandstand may have also noticed this and turned on the loudspeaker in a timely manner.

“Dear mercenary partners on the scene, as well as those who watched this unprecedented live broadcast event through the screens outside the venue. Dear viewers, I am your old buddy, Jessie! Now there is still time before the finals begin. In just a few minutes, let us take this opportunity to thank the generous and benevolent Marquis of West again for his help to this conference! The Wester camcorder will record all the touches in your life. ; Carlo Workshop, tailor-made for you, the world’s top team creates the only quality that belongs to you…”

However, this tossed and uninspired advertisement naturally had a counterproductive effect. Not only did the audience boo louder and louder, even Yun Xuan couldn’t help being irritable. The trivial memories of Ian for the past few days have already made him overwhelmed, coupled with the boringness of the scorching sun at the moment, and the **** noisy guy…

The noise around his ears, like countless flies entangled him, made his forehead a little bit painful. He couldn’t help but stretched out his hand to change the position of the pipe and gave a fierce “tsk” from between his teeth. After being amplified by the amplifier magic device, Jesse’s breathtaking voice was enough to spread clearly throughout the arena. He couldn’t avoid it, so he could only focus his attention on the closed area on the ring. Area, to disperse the anxiety generated by the magic sound.

His newly-acquired apprentice Jie Haizheng stood upright in front of him. There was no wind on the stage, and there was a bit of sultry breathing, but the boy still stood still with his fists clenched, as if he had escaped from the boring dilemma of reality, and was immersed in the tense thoughts of the coming war.

The priest dangling his pipe and looked at the half-old gray cloak, a little bit of fun in his heart. This little apprentice usually looks like he is honest and can’t turn around when things happen, but when he gets to the ring, he seems to have changed his personality: the reaction is quicker and his brain is brighter. Not only is it clear, sometimes he even learns. Learn from analogy. In just a few days of field teaching, the young man’s progress was simply impressive, which made him feel a little bit complacent: as long as this kid can smoothly control the negative effects of the power of the Holy Profound, he will certainly be a master in time. Character!

Not far behind Jie Hai stood a young physician in a white robe, Yuno. He didn’t wear glasses today. From Yun Xuan’s perspective, he could just see his side face with slight sweat under his sunny blond hair. Perhaps it was the first time to stand in the arena arena, Yono seemed very excited, holding a small medicine box and looking around, sometimes raising his sleeves to wipe sweat, compared with the unmoving mountains in front of the sea, he looked extra childish. Up.

Since yesterday he showed his unique skill of resuming a severed limb, the little doctor who is a “novice” has become a popular man in the eyes of major mercenary forces. In their opinion, this young healer is not in the realm of a master. I’m afraid it’s not far away. All kinds of fancy invitations to join the group filled the mailbox of the “Green Field” hotel overnight, and even when the lottery was drawn just now, several teams came to him and issued a kind invitation to him. Yun Xuan looked at their anxious look that was almost abducting an ignorant teenager, and couldn’t help laughing: If Yuno had declared his identity as the heir to the lord at this moment, it would surely make them fall through.

“There is more than one minute left before the start of the game! The’unknown’ team led by Lord Winstead is still waiting quietly. The Star Chaser team still has not played. Did they give up the game!? How will the follow-up development be? Please continue to follow my live broadcast! Thanks again to the generous and kind Lord Marquis of West! West Camcorder…”

The narrator’s voice came out more quickly, and the priest named “Wen Sidai” subconsciously twitched the corners of his mouth, but immediately restored his indifferent expression. He squinted his eyes and took off his pipe, glanced at the petite figure sitting leisurely under the huge parasol behind him, then suddenly turned his head to the red robe referee under the stage and shouted: “Go find someone to move me a wicker chair. .”

“Your Excellency, what did you say?” The referee thought he was hearing a hallucination for a while, and he asked again, and fell silent after getting a definite answer. There was no specific explanation for this strange request in the rules of the conference, but it did not prohibit the provision of seats for participants. He frowned and thought for a long time, but finally compromised, and ordered people to move chairs in a low voice.

A guard armed with a gun quickly moved over to the wicker chair, and Yun Xuan took his seat unceremoniously, ignoring the buzzing from the stands because of his slightly unusual behavior. He leisurely leaned on the recliner and took a few puffs of cigarettes. He turned his eyes on the huge display on the top of the arena gate directly in front of him. He saw five figures rushing out of the lounge on the opposite side of the ring, pulling and pulling. It seems reluctant, it should be their opponent in this game-the Star Chaser team.

As soon as the extremely long-winded commentator saw them appearing, he immediately stopped the advertisement and turned to the main topic, and quickly introduced the players: “Audiences, friends, the Star Chaser team is finally on the stage! It is Pakistan who walked in the front. Two brothers, Li and Holly, are both agile two-sword warriors. Behind them are the beautiful Miss Ivy and her good friend Miss Xia Li. They are the fire and ice spell controllers. They are perfect. A perfect match! The last player who played was the alchemist Mr. Bryan, oh… he seemed to be a little negative about this game, and he didn’t even bring his iconic Bomb Speed….”

In the sound of this urging broadcast, the five-man team pulled each other and ran to the ring. Almost the moment they stood on the stage, the red-robed referee blew the trombone at the beginning of the game-they finally didn’t It was a false alarm to be disqualified for being late.

Just before the trumpet sounded, Jie Hai, standing at the forefront, immediately stretched out his hands to protect him, calmly condensing black power, waiting for the enemy’s attack. However, the Star Chaser team did not have the will to participate in the battle at all, still whispering to each other around, completely treating the opponent as air, and even the slightest glance was stingy.

The atmosphere on the court froze for a while, and even the commentator Jesse seemed to be unable to think of words to ease it. After a few dry coughs, he ignored the broadcast.

Yun Xuan took the pipe and knocked it on the arm of the wicker chair a few times, and raised his eyes to look at the five people opposite. The two parties are about 50 meters apart. With his extraordinary ear power, he can faintly hear several complaints such as “new equipment”, “waste”, “playing”, “joker”, etc., and it becomes clear in his heart that the other party is afraid I feel that there is a disparity in strength between the two sides, and it will eventually be defeated, so why bother to become a laughing stock in the industry in vain. However, he is all about training his disciples this time. How could he take the shot himself? It’s just that the other party didn’t know it, and it caused such a negative challenge…

Thinking of this, he slowly got up and snapped his fingers. A white curtain of light instantly unfolded from in front of him, straddling the ring to isolate him and Xiao Miyou behind him. The sudden white light naturally attracted the attention of the other party, and he also took advantage of the situation and smiled: “You don’t have to worry too much. As long as you beat the first two in this competition, you will be a winner.”

After he said a word, Yuno nodded slightly to show encouragement, and then sat down again, looking at the disciple’s steady back, slowly smoking a cigarette.

The Star Chaser team was in a daze. After a quick exchange of opinions, the two tall and thin men covered in khaki thick leather armor took a few steps forward and gave a mercenary salute together. They thanked in unison: “Since you have a willingness to give in, then Let’s try our best…” As soon as the voice fell, the two of them pulled out their swords almost at the same time, slammed their feet forward, and rushed straight into the sea under the protection of the blue light.

After several days of actual combat training, the little apprentices are already familiar with how to deal with the attacks of melee fighters. He didn’t cast the spell in a hurry, but took a defensive posture in a hurry, with black light enveloped between his palms, only waiting for his opponent to approach.

However, the seemingly fierce attack by this pair of fellow warriors was actually just a vain shot. Before they got close to Jie Hai’s side, they turned to kick the ground at the same time. By using recoil force, they bypassed the young man and rushed towards the little doctor behind him. It seemed that they were planning to get rid of the enemy’s backup force first.

Four azure and azure daggers attacked in the air. Yuno raised his eyebrows and put down the medicine box. He pushed forward with both hands. The white light gathered into a divine barrier and prepared to meet the enemy-this is almost the only effective defense for the healer. Means.

Before the sword light touched the light wall, he saw Jie Hai suddenly turn around, and a black belt that was as thin as a vine flew out of each of his hands. It lightly flicked and shot at the two warriors. The black belt was almost in reality, like a long whip sweeping but silently, it pierced into the opponent’s weakest eyes, and the strength was unusual, which showed that his subtle use of divine power had unknowingly taken another step.

The two-sword warriors noticed the thin black light piercing from behind like an arrow. Although they didn’t realize the threat, they didn’t dare to be careless before trying out the strength of their opponents. They invariably gave up this surprise attack, each rolled sideways, avoided the attack direction of the light belt, and landed on both sides of Yuno.

Jie Hai turned his hands closely, and continued to manipulate the black light to quickly wrap around his opponent from the left and right. The samurai had long been waiting intently, and tentatively swung a sword at the thin light band. Unexpectedly, the short sword attached to the wind power just hit the black light, and it was as if it was fixed by glue, and it was difficult to stop. In an instant, the black belt circled the sword a few times like a snake’s shadow, and then rushed to the eyes of the two again. In desperation, they could only speed up the operation. The divine power shattered the black light attached to the sword. At the edge of the zone, the power is ready for the next attack.

These several rounds of offensive and defensive flexibility and smoothness, although not a lot of success, it is also remarkable. The narrator in the radio tower used the intermission of the confrontation between the two sides to predict the strategy they would make based on his years of experience in watching the battle. They were talking in a hurry. Unexpectedly, a gunshot suddenly sounded in the field, interrupting his endless talk. Long talk.

Everyone turned their attention to the maker of the shooting—Brian Alchemist wearing an alloy engineering hat. The short and fat middle-aged man was a little bit happy when he took advantage of the enemy’s unprepared blow, but when he saw countless astonishment eyes focused on him, he felt a lot of pressure and panicked with the short blunderbuss used for self-defense. He stuffed his cloak into his cloak and stammered: “This, isn’t this a team competition… I, I just want to help, hehe…”

After he said this, there was a silence in the field, and then there were countless comments. Even though what he said is right, he did not violate the rules of the competition, but this kind of scheming behind the scenes… is really disgusting!

In the same outrageous broadcast from the commentator, Jie Hai turned his head slowly and looked at the three additional opponents. The cloak on his back broke the scorched black crack in the middle of his fist, and the blood flowed continuously along the edge of the hole, and quickly wetted a large area of ​​bright red on the gray cloth. The bursting bullet came too suddenly, leaving him with no chance of defense. Fortunately, the divine power pulse flowing in his body blocked the penetration of the shrapnel. Although the wound was large, it was only in the flesh and did not hurt the vitals.

Yuno saw that he was injured and was about to come forward to cast a treatment, but he was stopped by a wall of light flashing out of his side as soon as he took a step. He looked back with wide-eyed eyes in confusion, the priest leaned firmly on the wicker chair and waved at him casually, apparently feeling that this fur wound didn’t need to be fussed at all.

Although he understood Yun Xuan’s idea of ​​trying to test the minds of his disciples, as a therapist, he saw the wounded in front of him but refused to be treated. This tangled feeling… he couldn’t help but wrinkle in his grip on the medicine box. He raised his brows and looked at the priest unwillingly for a while, and was finally defeated by the opponent’s indifferent expression. He bit his lip and turned back angrily, continuing to observe the situation on the field.

Jie Hai still stared at the alchemist without blinking, the black light in his eyes rolled like mist, but there was no expression on his face, as if there was no pain at all. This stiff expression is accompanied by the cloak that is gradually floating in the acceleration of the divine power, even under the big sun, it is a bit chilling and gloomy.

Brian’s heart was straightened by his completely invisible killing intent, but the extraordinarily penetrating eyes, and he hid behind the two female law controllers with his hands and feet tied. The ladies returned him angrily, looked at each other for a while and then sighed, and they used their special skill: Ice, Fire, and Fog in a tacit understanding.

With the ingenious cooperation of the ice power and the fire power, the thick water mist quickly covered the entire arena, submerging everyone’s figures, and only the dazzling divine light was still faintly visible. The Star Chaser team converged their divine powers almost instantly, and Yuno also reacted extremely quickly and disappeared in the fog. Only Boundary Sea was still standing upright in place surrounded by black light, seeming to dismiss this little bug.

There was silence in the thick fog, and even the sound of footsteps was inaudible. Jiehai is like a wood pestle in the center of the ring, holding his breath and waiting calmly, suddenly heard a few winds passing by his ear, and then a blue light flashed, four daggers carrying a sharp whistle from the front and back, and went straight to him. Coming from his shoulders, but not aiming at any vital parts, it was obvious that his subordinates had shown mercy.

When he saw the blue light, he turned and turned slightly, his hands stretched out to grab a dagger, the thick black light between his palms gathered into an arc, and half of the opponent’s attack was successfully blocked, but there were two daggers left. But it is straight into his shoulder joint without hindrance.

Seeing that the jasper-like wind divine power on the blade was about to break in, countless black lines suddenly shot out from the ground around the sea body, and two unsuspecting warriors were tied into black mummies in a short time. There is almost no gap. It turned out that the little student had already secretly unfolded a net under his feet when the thick fog was covering up. The black light ribbon was almost as thin as a fishing line, and it was hard to detect when compared to the flame-like divine vibration on his body, which made the other party unconsciously eat it. A boring loss.

Jie Hai captured his opponent in one fell swoop, but he was not even stunned. Holding those two impenetrable daggers, he was about to make the final blow, and he felt that there was a powerful turbulent flow of divine power behind him. He didn’t think much about it, took a breath and pumped up his whole body’s strength to turn in place, throwing these two lacquer black shapes away, and they would fall outside the ring.

Turning his head again, he saw two waves of divine power, one ice and one fire, breaking through the mist, entangled with each other and pierced straight into his chest. In a blink of an eye, they were close to several meters away. He hurriedly pushed forward with his hands and turned into a black buckler. As soon as the continuously rotating dual-attribute divine power flow hit the shield, it almost pressed it against the tip of the young man’s nose, as if it was about to break in an instant.

The situation was already precarious, but Jiehai was not afraid. He stared extremely calmly at the turbulent flow of ice and fire close at hand, constantly urging the power of the Holy Profound in various parts of his body, and his eyes were quickly occupied by black light. As the stalemate continued to extend, the two female law-controllers on the other side gradually lost support, but the young man slowly pushed the shield to its original position very calmly, and then both palms vigorously rotated to draw a semicircle.

I don’t know what method he used, and the shield turned around, generating a strong suction force, turning all the red and white divine power in front of him into a two-color ball. The power of the Holy Profound has a restraining effect on the power of ice and fire. As the light sphere grows larger and larger, the black light band covers and wraps the entire sphere like a nerve vein, suppressing and transforming the violent power in it, and finally condensed into a broad The giant magic ball of the round table.

The overflowing divine power shock wave gradually repelled the dense fog on the field. The spectators in the surrounding stands could not help but let out a few exclamations when they saw this unusual tri-color divine power ball from a distance. The two ladies of the Star Chaser team were already at the end of their crossbows. After seeing the terrifying appearance of the strange ball in front of them, they were so frightened that their feet softened and fell to the ground.

The opponent’s offensive was suddenly interrupted, and Jie Hai immediately launched a counterattack. He was lucky enough to push the ball forward, staring at the force of terror and hitting the ring, and finally showed a happy smile on his crimson face. It’s just that the two rows of bloodshot white teeth, accompanied by the light hovering like a black snake all over his body, coupled with the pitch-black pupils, are shocking at first glance, like a vengeful ghost.

The black light ball seemed to slowly slash through the air, completely covering the other three with great pressure. The ladies are exhausted and drenched, where there is still the power to block them. The remaining alchemist Brian didn’t even bring the equipment he had in hand, so he could only shudder and block in front of his companions, and went down the stage. Shout: “We surrendered! We surrendered!”

The red-robed referee dutifully sounded the closing horn immediately, but Jie Hai didn’t mean to stop. Seeing that the ball of light was about to fall, the two women could only grit their teeth and exhaust the last bit of strength to prop up two thin light shields, closing their eyes to prepare for the coming pain. At the close of their lives, they only felt a flash of white light in front of them, and when they opened their eyes, they saw a white dress standing right in front of the three of them, lightly blocking the seemingly powerful black ball, but it was the priest who had been sitting still.

Yun Xuan casually dissipated the ball of supernatural power that he didn’t know what kind of attribute it was. He frowned and looked at the little apprentice who seemed to be in a violent state. Doubts arose in his heart: He had never taught Jie Hai the method of transforming and suppressing foreign supernatural power. Where did this kid learn from? Could it be that he is so genius that he can teach himself without a teacher! ?

He vaguely felt that something was wrong, and the boy’s ferocious and violent expression that had never been revealed before made him even more embarrassed. He focused all his attention on his apprentice, carefully observing the opponent’s subsequent reaction, and left behind the cheers and applause from the arena stands and the annoying noise from the radio tower.

He saw Yuno’s hand-held medicine box rushing from not far away, while whispering to Jiehai, he did not know the severity of his shots, and he expertly handled the back injuries for his companions. The little apprentice’s expression gradually eased with the warm white light that lit up, the black mist in his eyes quickly receded, and in a blink of an eye he returned to a slightly sluggish dazed state.

Is it my heart? Perhaps it was Yun Xuan who taught him… Yun Xuan took a puff of cigarette thoughtfully, and turned his gaze on the two teenagers a few times before temporarily suppressing the confusion, and slowly glanced behind him. At a glance. The two ladies had already stood up with the help of their companions. Although they were all soft in shock, seeing him turning around, they helped each other and bent over to give thanks.

He didn’t respond to this at all, consciously and as it should be. Yu Guang saw that the two double-sword warriors on the edge of the ring had broken free from the shackles of their black belts. They were rushing towards this place with strides, and they turned around casually. Walk towards the wicker chair.

It’s just the first game, and I don’t know how far this kid can go, but in any case, this seat can’t be lost…By the way, this kid might be a genius. In the test just now, whether it was the control of the divine power or the cohesive strength, he surpassed the level of an ordinary cultivator, and his progress must be rapid.

Maybe, this time he really picked up a life treasure… He paused slightly, then looked back at the little apprentice with a dull face and seemingly wandering, he couldn’t help but laughed, grabbing the wicker chair, and greeted the noise. , Shi Shiran leaped off the ring with a light tiptoe.
