【Punch】!
Although all evasion angles had been locked, Xinglong did not sit still and waited for death. When Cordoba's powerful and heavy iron mountain hit him, he raised his right arm and smashed out A punch full of ferocious killing intent. Although this hasty blow may not be able to contain the opponent, it is still better than being hit firmly by that shoulder that is so hard just by looking at it.
However, what shocked Xinglong was that his punch actually stopped Cordoba firmly, causing the latter to stop about half a meter in front of him.
At this moment, many spectators thought it was Xinglong’s punch that looked powerful, heavy, and powerful but was not at a disadvantage in the exchange. After realizing this, they continued to shout loudly. Cheer for Xinglong, but Xinglong himself, as the person involved, knows very well that this is not the case at all.
It is not so much that he intercepted the opponent's impact, but that Cordoba's 'Iron Mountain Back', which seemed to be full of impact, had no strength at all, even if he woke up. Even if Long doesn't take action, Cordoba will have a high probability of stopping after actually hitting the former.
The key point is also after stopping——
[Normal attack]
With an extremely natural and unflashy palm, it struck the side of the opponent's neck. Cordoba almost hit him. The moment he stopped, he swung out a sharp blow, and Xinglong, who used his force in the completely wrong direction, had to throw out a kick in a hurry. Trying to have sex with Cordoba, he was destined to suffer a loss, but because of his special characteristics [生生] Flame] So it’s probably not an exchange that would be too disadvantageous.
What Xinglong didn’t expect was that Cordoba, who obviously would make more money by exchanging blows, had no intention of exchanging injuries with him. Instead, he gave up the sword without hesitation and After a light back jump, he waved the bare punisher's staff.
And this seemingly light and comfortable jump made Xinglong, who was already tense, break out in a cold sweat.
Although it seems to be just an ordinary action, in Xinglong's view, there is not much content contained in this back jump, and the simplest, most intuitive, and easiest to understand is that the distance between the two parties is determined by this The back jump is extended to just beyond the limit of close-up bunt play, and is extremely suitable for the distance of long weapons.
You must know that although the Punisher's Staff in Cordoba's hand has lost its edge, it can still fight in the form of a 'stick' or 'staff', and at this distance, although It only lasted a moment, but there was still a situation where "Xinglong could only be beaten unilaterally".
Of course, this didn't just make Awakening Dragon directly passive, but he almost took a step to the side while Cordoba jumped back, and then added an additional' to the Punisher's Staff' He stepped forward when he was hit with a sweeping movement. Instead of avoiding the edge temporarily, he even stepped forward to meet Cordoba with the intention of playing a close bunt with Cordoba again.
The reason is very simple and pure, that is, putting aside all the fancy reasons, for the 'Warrior Monk' professional system, the closer the distance to the opponent is, the better!
As the most 'unsophisticated' player in the professional circle, Awakening Dragon's decision did not surprise anyone, yes, anyone...
In other words, even Cordoba, its opponent, was not surprised by this either!
Bang! Boom! Boom! !
Fist to fist, palm to palm, although in the current state, every blow of the Awakening Dragon is extremely heavy, and almost all of it has many powerful qualities, while Cordoba's fists and palms are... Making a normal attack, writing a normal attack, it is just a normal attack anyway, but it is not at a disadvantage at all, and it even maintains the level of overwhelming Xinglong!
……
“Simple, crude and effective.”
In Gawen's private room, Merlin stared intently at Cordoba on the screen, or to be more precise, he stared at the dazzling red rune on Cordoba's shoulder, and muttered: " It should be a matter of iteration. I have not seen this kind of independent structure on the relatively primitive body before. Of course, it may be that it originally existed but was broken by Mo Xiaozi.”
Added. Wen tilted her head and looked at Merlin with some curiosity, and asked: "So can you replicate these simple and effective functions on Osiris or Arthur?"
"You seem to have some misunderstanding of my level. , little girl Jiawen.”
Merlin glanced sideways at Jiawen and said calmly: “Although I am a fairly outstanding scientific researcher, I don’t have a nickname called ‘God’. And that thing called Cordoba is the crystallization of the most advanced technology in this worldview. It is no exaggeration to say that the person who made it must be no less talented, knowledgeable, and wise than me, and he will People who have been immersed in this field for a long time, and your question is undoubtedly a huge offense."
Jia Wen immediately nodded and admitted his mistake obediently: "I'm sorry, Master Merlin, so. Can you replicate these simple and effective functions in Osiris or Arthur? ”
"..."
Merlin had nothing to do with this thoughtful girl. Finally, after a brief silence, he said lightly: "Mechanics are not my area of expertise, but developing a stable and systematic system from scratch. The specialized structure is also a fantasy, not as good as Said, both Arthur and Osiris are still stuck on the most basic link of 'energy', so if they want to achieve similar results... the right path will not work. "
Zi is staring at it. Ji Xiaodao, who was watching the game on the screen, heard this and immediately asked without looking back: "Have you walked the right path?"
"I am just a researcher who is always hungry and greedy for the truth."
Merlin smiled and then continued to answer Gavin Question: "Shortcuts can be taken, after all, I have no moral obsessiveness , but this is not what needs to be talked about now. I have too many things to do, and the optimization and improvement of God Killer is just one of them. If I don’t manage the project well, it will be difficult to continue to come up with something that can make Mo The boy is satisfied with the result, so..."
Jiawen interrupted Merlin with a deep sigh, and rubbed his forehead tiredly: "I have been paying attention to the assistant, but your requirements are too high. If I were to spend money to hire someone in reality, Fortunately, if it is limited to the realm of innocence, to be honest, it is too difficult.”
“If it is difficult, just use extra efforts to overcome it.”
Old God Merlin sipped comfortably. He sighed, then turned his attention to Cordoba on the screen again, and said in an arrogant and unreasonable tone: "Don't disturb me from observing this puppet."
I hit a soft nail. Jia Wen stuck out her tongue coquettishly, then moved closer to Ji Xiaodao and asked with a smile: "What do you think, Sister Ji Prayer?"
"Look with your eyes."
The dark elf answered with a cold voice without any emotion.
“Ouch!”
Jiawen, who seemed to have given herself a girl-next-door persona today, immediately pouted and asked reluctantly: “I mean this It’s a game! Are you more optimistic about Cordoba or Awakening Dragon?”
“Why?”
"Because I want to beat him in the next game."
Calmly repeating what he said before, Ji Xiaodao, who had already made up his mind to meet Cordoba in the semi-finals, simply ignored the wake-up call on the screen. Dragon, like Merlin, focused all his energy on observing Cordoba.
The difference between the two is that Merlin focuses on observing the 'rune body' which is equivalent to the body, while Ji Xiaodao focuses on the 'pilot' inside the body.
It’s not that she looks down on Xinglong. In fact, if Ji Xiaodao was hit head-on by that ultimate move that gathered the power of the Four Saints in the situation just now (the possibility is very low), she thought she would Nine times out of ten, he will be directly defeated by Xinglong. However, when Xinglong has already used it once, whether it is the buff of the Four Saints or the terrifyingly powerful blow just now, it will not be enough for Ji Xiao. The threats to the island have dropped significantly, and the threat level can be said to have directly changed from 'deadly' to 'troublesome'.
The difference between using the same move for the first time and the second time is so great that if Ji Xiaodao herself were to judge, she would even conclude that before watching this game, she The odds of winning against Awakening Dragon are at best 70-30, and after witnessing the various effects and characteristics of its skills, this probability will directly become a '91' conclusion.
And this is the reason why everyone tries to hide their clumsiness as much as possible during the game. After all, the reason why the trump card is the trump card is to surprise everyone at the critical moment. If it is turned into a bright card, it will be innocent. The personal style of Zhijie is extremely obvious and will almost never appear in a homogeneous game, so the effect will naturally be greatly reduced. It was because of this that the alchemist gave up in the previous battle with Cordoba.
When Xinglong fought with Rebecca before, he only used [Cang Emperor Qinglong Yi] for the same reason.
At this moment, Xinglong, who had exhausted all his cards, could no longer attract Ji Xiaodao’s attention, but the changes in Cordoba made it difficult for Xinglong, who had always wanted to avenge the past, to She couldn't help but become more vigilant.
[Combat Data Module].
Different from Awakening Dragon, as a real friend, the girl has always known that such a system was installed on Cordoba, but she also knew that such a convenient and easy-to-use thing would give Cordo who was not sensitive to combat sense at first. How helpful it was, and what she was evaluating at high speed in her mind at the moment was Cordoba's use of this peripheral.
The conclusion is: it’s troublesome, but manageable!
But just because he can handle it, it doesn’t mean that Awakening Dragon can also handle it.

Southwest Continent, [Supreme Glory] Arena Ruins
“Huh... Huh...”
Panting heavily, Xinglong tilted his head and glanced at his blood-soaked, tiger-mouthed body. With his left hand, it took him two attempts to support his tired and numb body again, even though The effect of [Generating Flame] has always kept his health at a high level, but now, the substantial decrease in physical energy and mental energy has made it difficult for him to continue the offensive. Even if he does nothing like now, You can only rely on various talents and passives to keep the consumption and recovery speed barely equal.
At this moment, almost everyone can see that Xinglong is at the end of his strength, and what is desperate is that Cordoba, who is standing opposite the latter, except that his body is a little dirty, does not look at all. There is no abnormality at all. From his outline that looks like cast metal, people can only feel the cold oppression and the suffocation of falling into the abyss.
No one will blame Xing Long. Even his anti-fans, deep down, they all think that Xing Long has done his best. If anyone wants to blame him, he can only blame Cordoba for being too evil and too unreliable. Be reasonable.
Only Xinglong himself stood up straight again when everyone thought he could give up, assumed a posture, and stared at Cordoba with a sharp and fiery look.
He did not give up. Even though it would be ugly to continue fighting, he still took another step and turned into a swift shadow that was no longer sharp and rushed towards Cordoba.
Three punches, five palms, two legs——
Although he was blocked as expected, Xinglong stubbornly continued his offensive until he was blocked after several moves. Cordoba, who had no intention of holding back, was caught off guard and threw his elbow three meters away, directly knocking him out of the [Xuanli Zhuque Yan] state.
“It’s so enjoyable.”
Standing up unsteadily again, he swallowed back the blood that had reached his throat. Xinglong moved his knuckles and said with a smile: "It's so enjoyable that I can't bear to admit defeat."
"Then let's play for a while."
Córdoba's voice sounded a little muffled because the visor was automatically pulled down, and he smiled and gave a price that was not too much for the money. answer.
“I can’t play anymore.”
As a result, Xinglong shook his head, and then sat down on the ground. At the same time, he released [Cang Emperor Qinglong Yi], [Violent War White Tiger Tribulation] ] and [Mingyin Xuanwu], these three buff states, he rarely sighed: "I'm just a little unconvinced."
Cordoba saw that Xinglong had lost his will to fight, so he entered the chatting mode with the mentality of talking for two more minutes as long as he could, and said with a smile: "I told you, I took too many advantages. "
"It has nothing to do with you."
As a result, Xinglong shook his head slightly and said helplessly: "I just think that if I could get into the trap for a while, or train myself more, today would be better. affim You will have more fun playing, but the result is that you are missing a few attributes."
Notice that the Awakening Dragon's body represents [Speed], [Strength], [Defense] and [Recovery]. Looking at the four basic runes, Cordoba touched the tip of his nose: "So what do you mean?"
"When I get stronger, let's have a chance to compete again."< br>
Xinglong stood up with some difficulty on his knees and extended his right fist to Cordoba: "Still going all out."
"Go all out... ”
Córdoba is very He punched Xinglong happily, and then said seriously: "Then you watch."
"What are you looking at?"
Xinglong was stunned at first, and then he was like His eyes widened as if he had seen a ghost.
In front of everyone, the second set of runes in red, green, yellow, and white lights up instantly. Although it is not particularly dazzling, it almost blinds everyone's eyes in a sense.
“Come on!”
Cordoba, who had doubled the amount of basic runes on his body, looked at the awakening dragon seriously.
“Gan.”
Xing Long, who had never used any foul language since joining the industry, cursed and simply chose to admit defeat.
