One-shot kill?!
The moment Luo Chen defeated Yumiko, millions of viewers in the Japan live broadcast were left dumbfounded.
The barrage of comments, which had been scrolling at thousands per second, fell into a deathly silence.
In the spectator seats, Zhang Yue showed a satisfied expression, “As expected of my grand-disciple.”
On the stage, Yumiko’s face was extremely unpleasant as she reluctantly exited the arena.
The rules for the second round of the tournament were a single player fighting three matches in succession before automatically stepping down.
Following this, Luo Chen, leveraging the formidable strength of a Legendary Grade Sword Emperor, defeated two more contestants from Japan after Yumiko!
And in the latter two matches, just like the first, he one-shot his opponents!
After completing three matches, Luo Chen was forced to step down, and the Dawn Swordsman Xu Bei took the stage.
Xu Bei managed to cut down one of the opposing knights but was knocked out of the arena by the second opponent.
It wasn’t that Xu Bei was weak; rather, every opponent in the finals was incredibly strong!
Thus, both sides continued to battle, switching players.
In the end, the Dragon Kingdom won against Japan with a death ratio of 27:30!
Score ratio:
Including the first round, the current score ratio between the Dragon Kingdom and Japan is:
Japan temporarily leads the Dragon Kingdom by 460 points!
Only the final round remains.
During the intermission.
Yumiko, Rukawa Kaede, and Kucha Kocho gathered around Inoue Ono.
“Ono-kun, we’ve done our best. From here on, it’s up to you!”
“If we play it safe in the final round, we can win this match!”
“But, the Dragon Kingdom’s Zero hasn’t appeared yet. They’re also saving their strongest for the finale…”
Inoue Ono, holding a large hammer in both hands, confidently said, “Don’t worry, leave it to me! A mere Beast Tamer is nothing to a Jedi Knight like me!”
Saying this, Inoue Ono turned to the other thirty-nine professionals preparing to join the upcoming third round, [Endless Slaughter], and said, “You guys can relax, I’ll slaughter them all in this round!”
Soon, the match began.
“Ding~ The map for this match is [Doomsday City]. All participants will spawn at random locations. Each enemy kill grants 30 Glory Points. Those killed will respawn at a random location in Doomsday City. The match duration is ten minutes!”
“The match officially begins!”
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
Eighty beams of white light descended on various corners of Doomsday City, with forty participants each from the Dragon Kingdom and Japan taking their positions.
As the ten-minute countdown began, participants from both sides started searching for enemies nearby.
Soon, battles erupted everywhere!
In these top-tier professional duels, one-shot kills were common.
As long as the opportunity was right, one could kill the enemy before they had a chance to react.
As soon as the match started, the system’s combat notifications began ringing incessantly.
“Ding~ Dragon Kingdom participant [Tian Xin’er] has killed Japan participant [Nishigata Taiji], Glory Points +30!”
“Ding~ Japan participant [Dafan Tong] has killed Dragon Kingdom participant [Chen’s Army, Bei], Glory Points +30!”
“Ding…”
At this moment, in a corner of the city.
Inoue Ono was on a killing spree!
As Japan’s newly crowned national server’s top player this year, the 65th-level Legendary Grade Jedi Knight Inoue Ono was indeed formidable.
In his location, two Dragon Kingdom participants appeared simultaneously on his left and right, forming a pincer attack.
Inoue Ono remained calm, slamming his two large iron hammers onto the ground with a “boom,” causing fissures to open on both sides, trapping the two Dragon Kingdom participants.
Then, with a whirlwind slash from his iron hammers, he instantly took them both down, securing a double kill with ease!
He quickly relocated, found another Dragon Kingdom participant, and from a distance, threw his hammer, executing a spinning strike that one-shot the opponent before they could react!
The combat information was almost overwhelming.
“Ding~ Japan [Inoue Ono] has killed Dragon Kingdom [Dragon Soars the Seas], Points +30!”
“Ding~ Japan [Inoue Ono] is on a killing spree, five kills against Dragon Kingdom [Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon], Points +30!”
…
“Ding~ Japan [Inoue Ono] is unmatched, ten kills against Dragon Kingdom [Empire Glory], Points +30!”
One combat message after another sent chills down the spines of the Dragon Kingdom spectators.
“Even the Guild Leader of our Tianjing’s Chen’s Army, Chen Long, was one-shot by this Ono…”
“Damn! Even the Empire Guild’s Xu Bei couldn’t beat this Inoue Ono, what’s going on? Is this Ono really that strong?!”
“He’s a Legendary Grade professional, after all. It’s said that Japan allocated 10% of its national funds to fully train him. Even a pig could be raised to become the Marshal of the Heavenly Canopy with that kind of investment!”
In contrast, the crowd on Japan’s side, watching their Inoue Ono’s invincible prowess on the screen, cheered loudly, with boys shouting and girls starry-eyed.
“Ono-kun is amazing! Sugoi!”
“Is this all the Dragon Kingdom has? They’re so weak, utterly defenseless!”
“Where’s that Zero? Didn’t they say he’s the Dragon Kingdom’s newly crowned national server’s top player? Is he hiding because our Ono-kun is too strong?”
“Hahaha! Probably, with so many people watching, he’s afraid of being humiliated, so hiding makes sense! Stay hidden, coward, if you dare, don’t come out for the entire ten minutes!”
Meanwhile, on the Dragon Kingdom’s side.
Billions of viewers, from Zhang Yue’s perspective, saw him standing atop a tall building, quietly observing the battle within the city, taking no action.
In the Dragon Kingdom’s capital, Dragon City.
Even Moonmark, who was watching the live broadcast, was puzzled.
“This kid, hiding there, is really hard to spot. Is he really chickening out?”
Ice Emperor, arms crossed, watched the live broadcast screen and analyzed, “Every year, you two handle the first and second rounds, so this touches on your blind spots. I know what this kid is doing.”
Seraph: “What’s he doing?”
Ice Emperor: “He’s holding his breath!”
“……”
Ice Emperor continued, “There’s a small detail in the third round: when a participant reaches five kills, ten kills, thirty kills, and a hundred kills, they trigger special announcements like ‘Killing Spree,’ ‘Unmatched,’ ‘World Invincible,’ and ‘God Blocks, Kill God.’ If someone interrupts their kill streak, they can directly steal half of their Glory Points!”
“This kid is waiting for that Ono to trigger a higher kill streak.”
Moonmark mused, “So, it seems he is confident he can defeat this Inoue Ono!”
Seraph glanced at Moonmark and said, “You may not believe in yourself, but you must believe in this kid.”
“Based on my data analysis, Japan’s Jedi Knight and our Dragon Kingdom’s Necromancer, they are not in the same league.”
The analysis from the Dragon Kingdom’s three elders was naturally insightful.
However, not all of the Dragon Kingdom’s billions of viewers could understand Zhang Yue.
Most had only heard that Zhang Yue was this year’s newly crowned national server’s top player in the Dragon Kingdom, so they watched his match with high expectations, only to see Zhang Yue hiding on a rooftop, not daring to go down and fight, leaving them anxious.
“Oh my dear mother! Big brother! Big uncle! Big dad! I’m begging you to move, will you? The match is only ten minutes, and you’ve been watching TV for a minute now! You’re driving me crazy!”
“What’s going on, why isn’t this big shot moving, is he lagging?”
“If the enemy doesn’t move, I won’t move! If the enemy moves, I…watch them move! Got it, this is the master’s strategy!”
On the battlefield.
Zhang Yue watched as white lights continuously flashed from all directions, one after another, falling into the city.
He quietly listened to the system announcements.
Until finally, the announcement he had been waiting for appeared!
“Ding~ Japan [Inoue Ono] is World Invincible, thirty kills against Dragon Kingdom [Radiant Celestial]!”
“It’s here!”
Hearing this announcement, Zhang Yue suddenly stood up.
At the same time, the Twenty-Four Winged Apocalyptic Black Dragon sensed its master’s battle intent, tore through space, and soared out!
Roar—
A fierce dragon’s roar echoed through the skies!
Within Doomsday City, all participants were startled and looked up…
