In the World of Heroes, the first Wulin Tournament. In the penultimate round, Shi Lei finally appeared in the arena and presided over the drawing of lots.
Shi Lei's ability to create objects out of thin air shocked everyone. He held the square box in his right hand, looked at the three contestants, and said, "Which one of you wants to draw first?"
Qiao Mo's right hand was on the hilt of his saber. The unassuming saber and its scabbard were gently pressed to the ground by Qiao Mo.
"I don't care. You two decide!"
He had the qualifications to deal with all kinds of changes. Whether it was directly advancing or being drawn to fight Storm or Jun Wu Hui, Qiao Mo didn't care. He just needed to cut them down!
Jun Wu Hui clenched his fists and bumped them in front of him. Traces of red flames were naturally produced from where his fists collided.
"I don't care either. Storm, why don't you draw first?"
Storm spread out his hands. He didn't think that Qiao Mo and Jun Wu Hui were putting on airs. He showed an indifferent attitude and nodded. "Okay!
I'll go first! "
Storm walked up to Shi Lei in a few steps and said with a smile, "Director Shi, you're finally willing to show up in person!"
"Ahem!
Player Seven Nights Dugu, hurry up and draw! "
Shi Lei coughed and blinked at Storm. Since Storm and Shi Lei were both using VR gaming helmets, Storm could see such detailed expressions, but Jun Wu Hui couldn't. Even the TV broadcast in the real world couldn't.
Storm froze, then seemed to understand something. He immediately reached into the square box and pulled out a small ball.
Shi Lei looked at Qiao Mo and Jun Wu Hui and asked again, "Who wants to draw next?"
Jun Wu Hui didn't stand on ceremony with Qiao Mo. He walked to Shi Lei's side and reached into the square box. Just like Storm, he pulled out a small ball and looked at it.
It was a small wooden ball. There were no numbers on the outside, but the numbers that would decide the fate of the three contestants were inside the wooden ball.
After Jun Wu Hui pulled out the small ball, Shi Lei threw it up with his right hand. The square box rose about ten meters and exploded into rainbow-colored fragments. The last wooden ball shot towards Qiao Mo.
Qiao Mo opened his left hand and caught the wooden ball with a smile. "This is mine, right?
Lord Special Envoy, how should we determine the number of the numbers drawn? "
In the eyes of the non-player characters in the Hero's World, Shi Lei was a special envoy from the Imperial Court, a person who was in charge of supervising this competition.
No matter what a player said to a non-player character, it would be automatically blocked by the main system of the Hero's World.
"Contestants, inject your inner strength into this wooden ball!" Shi Lei said with a smile as he crossed his arms in front of his chest.
Qiao Mo was the first to infuse his yellow Qi into the wooden ball. When his Qi entered the wooden ball, it made a cracking sound and turned into pieces. Then, a yellow light shot up into the sky from the wooden ball.
The yellow light exploded about ten meters above Qiao Mo's head, forming a huge '3'. This represented the number that Qiao Mo had drawn. He would be engaged in a battle of life and death with the contestant who had drawn the number '2'.
Storm injected his green Qi into the wooden ball. After the wooden ball absorbed enough Qi, it turned into a green light and shot into the sky. Finally, it exploded in the sky and formed the number '1'.
Storm was the lucky contestant who had directly advanced to the next round.
When Storm saw the number '1', he immediately looked at Shi Lei. When he had drawn the lots, Shi Lei's blinking action was really thought-provoking.
Could it be that Shi Lei controlled the results of the draw?
This thought flashed through Storm's mind. Maybe it's because I've contributed too much to the Hero's World and Dream Entertainment, so Dream Entertainment is giving me special treatment?
As for whether it was true or not, he had to ask Shi Lei. But would Shi Lei explain?
Jun Wuhui looked at the number '1' above Storm's head and stopped injecting his Qi. He tossed the wooden ball in his hand and said, "Director Shi, I don't need to open my wooden ball, right?"
Shi Lei stretched out his right hand and hooked his index finger. The wooden ball in Jun Wuhui's hand flew ten meters into the air and exploded into the number '2'. At this moment, Shi Lei said, "The three contestants have drawn their lots. Dugu Qiye directly advances to the 24th round.
Jun Wuhui and Qiao Mo, please prepare for the 23rd round. "
Jun Wuhui looked at Qiao Mo and said with a serious expression, "Brother Qiao, I didn't expect our final battle to come so soon!"
Jun Wuhui wasn't worried that Storm would be an obstacle. When Storm had been defeated by Qiao Mo, Jun Wuhui had repeatedly watched the video recording of the match. He realized that Storm had only been exaggerated by the outside world.
Qiao Mo also didn't treat Storm as his final opponent. After all, Qiao Mo had already defeated Storm once. Naturally, he could defeat Storm a second time.
"Brother Jun, other than your fist technique, you don't have any other trump cards, right?" Qiao Mo joked.
Jun Wuhui laughed and said, "What other trump cards could I have?
Brother Qiao, you have to go easy on me and save some face for me! "
Qiao Mo laughed and replied, "Brother Jun, you're too humble!"
"Ding! Contestants Qiao Mo and Jun Wuhui, please choose the location of the match or let the main system randomly choose." The main system of the Hero World issued a notification.
"Brother Qiao, do we choose the map ourselves or?" Jun Wuhui asked.
According to Jun Wuhui's thoughts, he was more inclined to choose the map himself.
Jun Wuhui didn't have absolute confidence in facing Qiao Mo. If he could use the terrain advantage, Jun Wuhui's chances of winning would be higher.
Under normal circumstances, Qiao Mo could completely suppress Jun Wuhui. How could he agree to Jun Wuhui's request?
"Brother Jun, in order to ensure fairness for both of us, let's choose the random map!"
Although Qiao Mo wouldn't agree to Jun Wuhui's request, he still said it in a dignified manner and wouldn't become a topic of ridicule.
The non-player-controlled characters in the Hero's World had very high levels of artificial intelligence. This was especially true for the non-player-controlled characters that received a lot of attention, or the powerful non-player-controlled characters. Their artificial intelligence was so high that it was as if they were real human players.
If the artificial intelligence wasn't strong enough, why would the Storm like a non-player character?
"Ding!
Contestant Qiao Mo has chosen the random map. The main system's random selection has begun. The map is: Martial Arts Practice Field! "The main system's cold electronic voice sounded in Qiao Mo and Jun Wuhui's ears.
The martial arts practice field was randomly chosen. To put it bluntly, it was similar to the hundred square stone arena from before.
This kind of field was very fair to both Qiao Mo and Jun Wuhui. Qiao Mo was a swordsman, while Jun Wuhui was a swordsman. Both of them were close combat fighters, so there was no obstacle in the martial arts practice field.
As the main system sent the two to the martial arts practice field, Jun Wuhui clenched his fists and immediately launched an attack, trying to gain the upper hand.
The fiery red Raging Flames True Qi wrapped around Jun Wuhui's fists and rushed towards Qiao Mo.
Qiao Mo didn't panic at all. He slowly pulled out his large saber and slashed at Jun Wuhui's fists!
That's right, slash!
Slash with the wide saber!
Logically speaking, if Qiao Mo used the saber to slash at Jun Wuhui's fists, it should have caused more damage.
But Qiao Mo didn't do that. Instead, he used the seemingly harmless saber to slash at Jun Wuhui's fists.
This was because if he used the saber to slash at Jun Wuhui's fists, the Raging Flames True Qi on his fists could deflect the saber.
If it was just deflecting the saber, it wouldn't be a big problem.
But if it affected the stability of the body while deflecting the saber, it would definitely expose a fatal flaw and lead to defeat.
Qiao Mo didn't want that to happen, so he used a safer method. He used the blade to hit Jun Wu Hui's fist. Although it couldn't cause much damage, the power of the blade could at least numb Jun Wu Hui's arm.
Jun Wuhui looked at the saber and tried his best to retract a large portion of his strength. But he was still hit by Qiao Mo's large saber.
"Clang!"
The collision between the saber and the fist produced a loud sound. Qiao Mo's body only paused for a moment before returning to normal.
But Jun Wuhui didn't have it that good. He received a system notification that his right arm had been injured and he couldn't use internal energy for fifteen seconds.
Fifteen seconds seemed very short, but in reality, when experts exchanged blows, victory and defeat were often decided in the blink of an eye!
Qiao Mo glanced at Jun Wuhui and didn't immediately chase after him. Instead, he said, "Internal energy backlash. You can't use internal energy for fifteen seconds. Brother Jun, you've lost!"
Jun Wuhui's eyes flashed with a trace of a sigh.
In the previous matches, he had been using sword techniques to fight. Other than his fist techniques being more powerful, there was another reason: he hadn't completely mastered the Raging Flames Sky Breaking Fist.
Moreover, he didn't have a suitable pair of gloves, so it was easy for his internal energy to backfire.
Just when Qiao Mo saw the flaw and used force to break it, he suffered internal energy backlash and couldn't use internal energy for fifteen seconds.
After Qiao Mo finished speaking, Jun Wuhui sighed.
"Congratulations, Brother Qiao, for obtaining the title of World's Number One!"
Jun Wuhui chose to admit defeat. Since Qiao Mo had already seen that he couldn't use internal energy for fifteen seconds, what right did Jun Wuhui have to resist?
Jun Wuhui and Qiao Mo's match ended unexpectedly quickly. This made the players who were prepared to watch an unprecedented battle feel regretful.
However, they weren't dissatisfied with the quick end of the match. Instead, they were very excited.
The reason was that most of the players chose Qiao Mo as the winner of the bet.
They couldn't wait for Qiao Mo to insta-kill Jun Wuhui and then Storm so that they could receive the prize.
While the players were happily cheering for Qiao Mo's victory, Shi Lei looked at the female player in front of him with a headache. This female player was clearly the little devil, He Wanqiu!
