Link's opponent had been waiting for a long time.
When Lin Ke went up on stage, he first apologized to the referee. Only then did he turn around and carefully looked at his opponent.
This was Lin Ke's first impression of an arrogant young man.
"Are you a star seeded contestant?" Lin Ke suddenly asked.
The young man stared blankly for a moment, then angrily said: "No, what do you want?!"
Lin Ke smiled and said, "Neither am I."
The young man fiercely gouged out Lin Ke and said to the referee, "Aren't we still going to start the match?" I have to go back to the royal ball after getting rid of this idiot! "
Lin Ke couldn't help but roll his eyes. Could it be that the young people of the imperial city were always so arrogant?
The referee snorted, "Let the match begin."
The young man did not even think before drawing his sword and viciously charged towards Lin Ke!
In terms of speed, he was far inferior to West Nest, not to mention Lilisse. Lin Ke actually had the leisure to think about this.
With a lift of his hand, he created a river of wind blades!
Rincewind intended to deal with the young man the way he had fought Mario.
Sure enough, he didn't manage to dodge at the first moment. During the battle, he was grabbed by Link at the most uncomfortable spot, and he fell into a quagmire in one fell swoop.
The youth was somewhat confused. He had already lost the best opportunity to forcefully break through the formation like Mario did before, and had to strike after strike. Not only did it consume more energy, it was also difficult to move an inch.
As a result, just as he was about to break through, two huge wind blades had already arrived in front of him. He had no choice but to give up defending against the remaining small wind blades.
BOOM! "Boom!
The violent impact along with the powerful rebound forced the young man two steps back. Then, he felt his left leg go cold!
Lowering his head to sweep the area, he found that there was a large hole on his left leg, and blood was flowing out in droplets!
Ah!" After the young man shouted loudly, he gave up on attacking and threw away his sword. He shouted in panic, "Admit defeat! Dammit! Where is the doctor?! I'm heavily injured! Hurry up!" Damn it, hurry up and help me bandage it up!
Linke "..."
"Such a fast casting speed, such astonishing judgement," The referee from the Link arena walked up to him and praised him with a smile, "This match, Linke Moutes wins!"
After bowing, Lin Ke calmly walked down the stage. Ignoring the disturbing audience, he walked straight in front of Xue'er and Lilisse. He wanted to share the joy of victory with them.
"It's not good enough," Lily said coolly.
"Another 300 gold coins! Another 300 gold coins! Let me calculate it properly …" Xue'er said happily.
Linke "..."
— —
Although they were originally not very nervous, at least winning the money still brought them great pleasure. When you took out everyone's belongings and flipped them several times over, it was always a very happy thing, and the thing that hurt the most in Lin Ke's heart was that he didn't bet that part of the sixteen Iron Guards together with him on the first day of the bet.
When the three of them found Donna, she was nervously looking at the stage. Sam was in the middle of a match, and the scene showed him in an extremely passive state.
"Ah, Cohen, are you done? "Help me see if Sam is in danger. See, his damned opponent almost drowned him in a sea of fireballs!" Donna asked Rinkey as soon as she saw him. It was obvious that watching Sam's game made her even more nervous than when she was on the field.
"Don't worry, it'll be fine. Plus, Sam will probably win." Linke looked at Donna with a funny expression. When Donna tensed up, she had long forgotten about his' Cold War 'meaning.
"What?!" On the stone platform, many parts of Sam's leather armor were burnt and exposing his charred skin beneath. Fist-sized fireballs were formed on the tip of the opposing young man's staff, and then formed a line to blast at the battered Sam. The latter could only continuously swing his sword and blast away the fireballs, but couldn't avoid the scattered fire burns on his body. "Sam doesn't have any strength to fight back, how could he possibly win?!" "I just hope that he doesn't get seriously injured. Before we came, mother told me to take good care of Sam …"
Link looked at her speechlessly. "You're taking care of Sam?!"
"Don't worry, how much magic do you think a Rank 2 Bear-Force Spellcaster can have to squander like this?" "The power of a small fireball that can burn the skin is already pretty good." Rinkey sneered as he stared at the young boy who raised his head up high and was trying his best to look down on Sam. He watched as his face slowly turned pale and filled with disdain.
"Give up, young man!" Sam's opponent suddenly used his free left hand to stroke his hair and shouted righteously, "You already have no chance. If you give up now, the great me will forgive you. Your life belongs to your family, you shouldn't die here!"
Lin Ke could not help but be dumbfounded. Even the usually cold Lilisse could not help but let out a sneer. Xue'er, even more so, could not stop giggling.
Donna was the only one who had an extremely complicated expression on her face as she looked at the burned-out young man. There was even a hint of adoration and respect in her hate?
"He's such a good man," she said. "It's kind of him to give up the honor of defeating his opponent in front of everyone and let his opponent give up on his own. If Sam doesn't make it down, I'll thank him for him."
Lin Ke and the other two immediately felt exasperated.
The people near the outer circle were all squeezing into the inner circle because the battle in the outer circle was clearly not as bloody and intense as the one in the inner circle.
For example, Sam and his roasted opponent on the stone platform.
The spellcaster, who only knew how to cast small fireballs, became increasingly pale. His right hand that was holding the staff trembled uncontrollably, to the point that he could only hold it with both hands to prevent the staff from shaking too much and losing its aim.
At the same time, his "verbal offensive" became more and more explicit. Gradually, even the slow on the uptake Donna became aware that something wasn't right.
"Hurry up and surrender. If you don't, I'm going to use my ultimate move!"
"I won't give you any chance to surrender later, believe me!"
"Don't make a mistake, I'm really going to attack heavily!"
The three of them did not say a word.
Donna couldn't stand it any longer. "Cohen, tell me, if he really was forced to use a powerful skill, would he directly injure or even kill Sam?!"
Lin Ke helplessly shook his head. "You'll know the result soon. Look!"
Just as Lin Ke finished his sentence, the Burn Spellcaster's fireball suddenly stopped.
Sam was surprised for a moment, as if he had not yet recovered from his state of suppression. He carefully stared at his opponent as he wiped the sweat off his forehead.
The burnt-bag opponent took advantage of this opportunity to place his hands behind his back so that Sam wouldn't see his trembling claws, as if he had lost his mind. "So, you finally want to admit defeat?" The caster held his head high, not even sparing Sam a glance.
Sam clenched his teeth and roared, "The descendants of the Qing Feng family will never admit defeat. Come!" As he said that, he charged towards his opponent. The Burn Spell caster panicked, turned around, and ran!
The audience immediately became dissatisfied as they booed and cursed incessantly. Many of them began to curse as they squeezed towards the inner circle while others squeezed out of the plaza in a daze. The scene immediately became lively.
Under this kind of atmosphere, when Sam swung his sword, the Bandanna caster hurriedly raised his expensive staff to block. Then Sam reflexively sent him flying and kicked him right under the stone platform, knocking him unconscious.
Sam was stunned. Donna was stunned as well.
He won just like that?!
There was a huge difference between the previous and present!
Lilisse secretly smiled, while Xue'er laughed heartily.
"Sam won, Sam won, Sam won!" Donna shouted and jumped like a madman, making even Sam, who happily ran down from the stone platform, feel a little embarrassed. After all, this was only the first round.
"Yes, yes, yes. Sam won. When will it be your turn to compete, Cousin?" Linke asked.
"Ah?" I don't know, but that's not important. It's enough as long as Sam wins this year, okay? Right, have the three of you finished? "What were the results?" Donna suddenly thought of this question.
"All three of us were lucky enough to make it through the first round," said Rincewind humbly.
"Tsk," Donna suddenly remembered that she should have ignored Linke and said disdainfully, "If it's over then it's over, and you're still talking about being lucky. Hmph," She turned her head away to ignore him, but when she saw Sam, she became happy again, "Sam, your performance this time wasn't bad, at least you didn't embarrass your aunt. If you can smoothly pass the second round, then when we go back, I'll speak up for you at Uncle's place."
"…" said Sam.
"Eh? It's my turn! " Donna suddenly became excited. She turned around and ran, leaving the group of people standing there, but it was her turn to go onstage.
Donna's opponent was an earth attribute warrior.
In fact, Donna and Xue'er were both magic archers with special professions. Logically speaking, they should have held the upper hand when battling mainly defensive earth-attributed warriors. However, the problem lay in their level, which was at the first level of bear power.
Xiong Li level 1 was the first step that every vocation could take and could be considered the beginning of cultivation. At this time, cultivators who had just activated energy had a very low level of comprehension and accumulation of energy.
And Donna's basic skills...
"Hey, that big dumb guy!" Without waiting for the referee to speak, Donna already "took the lead". "I think it's better if you admit defeat. You're an earth element warrior who focuses on defense, and I'm a magic archer who focuses on offense. You won't have an advantage. Give up, young man!"
Lin Ke and company were speechless.
Donna's opponent came from Dragon Slaying Castle...
The referee was speechless to the point that he didn't know how to reply. He could only hastily say a few words before retreating to the side and ignoring him.
The brawny man didn't hesitate at all, and didn't lower his guard just because Donna was a girl either. He started charging the moment the referee shouted. In the blink of an eye, he rushed beside the dumbstruck Donna and slashed his sword down without the slightest hesitation!
Donna finally stopped staring blankly at this critical moment. Her usual training finally came in handy, she rolled on the ground like a conditioned reflex, rolled away in an extremely sorry state, then quickly got up and retreated. While she retreated, she also took off her usual short bow from her back, but before she could catch the arrow, the brawny man appeared in front of her again, sweeping with his sword!
