Help, I've become a paper man

Melee combat against melee combat is not about the pull of distance. When two people fight in one place, the tense situation is reflected in their fists and feet. The punches hit the flesh, the blades draw blood, and the crisp sound of the weapons colliding creates a fast-paced symphony.

Looking down from a high altitude, the close-ups on the big screen captured the precise angles, and combined with the slow motion on the small screen, not missing a single exciting match. It made people's hormones surge and was extremely enjoyable. The cheers from the sidelines continued, one louder than the other.

Song Yi's heart was also pounding and his fists were itching. He had just been taught a lesson by someone who used fists, and he didn't learn his lesson. As soon as he turned around, he thought about the next duel and wanted to try close combat.

The next second, his thoughts stopped, not because he figured it out, but because the camera turned away.

Mu Yun's face appeared on the screen, and he accidentally watched Mu Yun's first game.

I always feel like there is a conspiracy. Song Yi thought about it and asked Noah's Ark in his heart, "Is it you who is behind this?"

As usual, there was no reply. There were many people around and the battle had entered a critical moment. Song Yi stopped hesitating and focused on watching the excitement. He still held the idea that "nothing will happen as long as I don't come into contact with the protagonist group." After watching for another half a minute, the situation changed again.

Mu Yun used a dagger while his opponent used a long sword. Both sides followed the principle that an inch longer is an inch stronger, and also followed the saying that an inch shorter is an inch more dangerous. The previous confrontation was back and forth, and both sides were injured, but they were not seriously injured, and they could have continued to drag it out. But now it was different. This time, Brother Long Sword intentionally adjusted his posture when chopping, and following Mu Yun's blocking movement, the tip of the sword slid down and cut Mu Yun's forearm. This heroic "angel" was not a soft person either. With a turn of his wrist, he simply caught up with Brother Long Sword's movements, using an injury-for-injury strategy to stab the dagger into the opponent's lower abdomen.

Now, both sides have gotten rid of the bitter battle and are now in a "do-or-die" situation. It can only be said that in the previous confrontation, Mu Yun had a slight advantage, but not by much. With the dagger in one hand, he was able to exert half the power.

When it came to the life-and-death fight, the game became even more exciting. There was another round of cheers from the surroundings, and someone nearby clapped and cheered. Amid the noisy crowd, Song Yi heard an unusual breeze.

He stepped to the side, just avoiding the hand that was slapping him from behind. He looked behind him and met a pair of surprised eyes, and then the surprise also appeared on his face.

"Why are you here?" he asked.

"You're growing so fast?" the other person replied.

As they looked at each other, both sides sighed, and then spoke at the same time.

Song Yi said: "I am awesome."

The other party asked again: "Why are you here too?"

Then there was a silence. The crowd was still noisy and no one spoke to each other. Finally, Song Yi broke the silence.

He said: "It's over. I became a big boss without realizing it. My opponents disappeared faster than instant drinks. I didn't even need to add water. They were gone."

Such boasting, spoken so easily and full of fantasy, made the other party a little more hesitant, but after a few seconds, Song Yi got the answer.

The other party said: "Meeting is also fate, let's get to know each other again. My name is Xi Mingjie, the thin guy over there is Xi Ping, and the guy with slicked back hair is Xi Lin."

In just a few words, the identities of Fat, Thin, and Slicked-back Hair were clearly explained. Song Yi couldn't help but complain in his heart: "I thought you were just passers-by, but isn't this appearance rate too high? Is this how the protagonist group is treated?"

It was only in his heart that he still had some basic rationality. This time, his popularity had already ranked fifth, so he had to pay attention to his image management when he went out. At least he should buy himself a gun next time.

Song Yi took the opportunity to introduce himself, saying that he was Song Yi, and then he started bragging fluently, deliberately using the description style of historical songs to tell about his previous duel. It was also the first time he realized that he was good at storytelling. The three of them looked stunned, and they couldn't tell whether they were dizzy because of his nagging or shocked by Song Yi's story.

Until louder cheers rang out, everyone's attention returned to the ring. The outcome of the fight was decided. Mu Yun's dagger pierced through the opponent's neck. When Song Yi looked over, the angel had just drawn out his knife when the opponent's body turned into smoke and dust, and the scene of it scattering with a bang seemed like a special effect.

Song Yi took a breath, and it was hard not to compare his own miserable state with his own. He thought bitterly in his heart that he would strengthen his physical training after returning.

The system will act first, and after the game is over, everyone will be thrown out together. The scene in front of him flashed and turned into the road just now. There were unfinished games on both sides. Song Yi just took a glance and heard a familiar voice calling his name.

He looked at the sound and the word "bad" popped up in his head. His bragging had delayed his escape and he met the protagonist again.

"I saw you just now. What are you doing?" Sui Yuesheng asked.

Song Yi answered casually: "Just chatting."

The next moment, he suddenly realized something was wrong and asked, "Wait a minute, why are you here? Why are the three of them here? Isn't this Stardust's competition?"

This is really strange. He wasn't even in the last round of auditions, but suddenly I saw him backstage during a performance. If he is really a male star, I'd have to report him for the inside story.

Sui Yuesheng glanced at Xi Mingjie and said, "I can accompany Mu Yun in his match, but I can't be there when he fights. After all, some Stardust have special talents and can cheat through contracts, so everyone will be forced to avoid suspicion."

Accompanying the child to take the exam. Song Yi thought about it and nodded in understanding, and turned his gaze back to the three people. Compared with Sui Yuesheng's frankness, this obvious concealment made people more curious.

Sui Yuesheng continued, "You finished the game so quickly, you're amazing. Unlike us, Mu Yun suffered a lot before he barely won."

Song Yi said: "I am also injured. There are still many big brothers in the world."

After they finished talking, their eyes met and they could see each other's expressions. They seemed to be stuck in an awkward conversation and couldn't find a new topic for a while.

"Okay, let me tell you. It's not a big deal." Xi Mingjie said, and took a step forward to Sui Yuesheng's side. He looked at Song Yi and said, "I thought you were laughing at us, but it turns out you really didn't know. You should know more about Yan Changyue. We are here, and he..."

"Boss." Xi Ping called in a low voice, grabbed the hem of Xi Mingjie's clothes and pulled gently, trying to remind him of something.

Xi Mingjie took a deep breath, and when he spoke again, he lowered his raised voice and continued, "Forget it, forget it. To put it simply, we are servants. High-level Stardust can have servants. Whether they are humans or Stardust, they can be servants and be brought by their side."

Song Yi continued to nod. He understood this setting, but this way of narration made him more confused. Before he could ask, the surroundings changed. The buildings on both sides of the road disappeared, the fog engulfed the stands on both sides, and a prompt sound rang out.

"Congratulations to all players. You have passed the first round of competition. The next game has been confirmed and the match list has been updated. Please check the schedule in your mailbox if you need Stardust."
