Miss Witch doesn't want to be a diva

After entering the finals, Tilan briefly scanned the list and saw familiar faces, such as Li Qingfei whom she met in the first round, and Sally Ye in the second round.

"In the finals, in addition to the existing rules, such as scoring points for defeating opponents and deducting points for destroying scenes, other supplementary rules will also be added." The host announced the difference of the finals.

"First of all, there are twelve red marrow crystal gems hidden among the twelve copper mechanical objects flying around. If the player gets one of them, he can get 3 points. In addition, there is a disc on the hour and minute hands of the clock. Standing After going up, you can get certain magic blessings and recover quickly. Players can try their best to gain an advantage." In order to increase the fun and variability of the game, the official added some easter eggs in the finals.

Listening to the host's introduction, the contestants also turned their attention to the huge mechanical clock running in the air. There was a cyan disk at one-fifth of the point of the hour hand, and a purple disk on the minute hand. This structure made It reminds me of the fluorescent dots specially made on those retro mechanical watches for night display to facilitate marking the position of the hands at night.

As for the twelve red marrow crystal gems introduced, they are not obvious among the copper mechanical creations. Some are held in the mouths of the 'swans', and some are embedded inside the mechanical creations. If you follow the rules, it is difficult to take out these red marrow crystals. It is not an easy task without destroying the overall structure. You probably need to carefully observe the structure to find a suitable method, but this will inevitably distract your attention and make it easy for your opponent to attack.

After understanding the rules, the host announced the list of players for the first game. This time, there were eight groups of eight people, until the final three were decided.

"First game, Riddle, Jenny, Li Qingfei, Shelley..." After the announcement, there was no one from Tilan's team this time.

Sitting in the viewing seat, the girl couldn't help but look at the familiar Suqing girl. She had a calm face at the moment and just slowly drew out her sword and then stepped onto the stage.

After the competition started, Li Qingfei did not waste her thoughts on solving the mechanical puzzles, but focused on defeating her opponents. She first won the position on the hour hand, stood on the disc on the hour hand, and her body also followed the hands to rotate on the clock. At this time, some of the other contestants on the stage were trying to obtain the red marrow crystal gems in creation, and some were fighting with each other.

Even though she was standing differently, the hour hand slowly rotated, bringing her closer to the creations she was competing for. One of the contestants took action decisively when Li Qingfei approached, and the two fought in space.

Su Qing's sword light flashed across, and one player was eliminated by Li Qingfei. Facing the red marrow crystal that was only a short distance away, Li Qingfei did not stop to continue to solve the puzzle, but went straight to the next player.

However, this time the opponent is not a contestant obsessed with solving puzzles, but a mermaid woman who also occupies the minute hand. She has a purple fish tail, the sword blade she holds in her hand is made of blue metal, and she wears a sea blue dress on her upper body. The skirt is embellished with white waves on the corners and has a graceful figure.

Unlike other contestants, this mermaid's attack route does not require the help of clock parts. It is closer to swimming in the air like a swimming fish. His sword moves are also very different. He is not obsessed with parrying and responding, but more concerned with The thrust was like a swordfish galloping in the sea, swift and unreserved, making it difficult for people to resist it head-on. They had to either exchange injury for injury or avoid the sharp edge.

Even Li Qingfei suffered a lot due to the difficulty in adapting to the fight. A long gash was cut on her wrist, while her opponent, the mermaid, only cut the corners of her dress, and a few scales fell off her tail.

Seeing Li Qingfei respond to his attack, the mermaid woman was slightly surprised. Then she changed her moves and rolled up again. However, this time, she changed from a forward thrust to a dance in the air. The blue sword marks were like star trails. Surrounding him, he passed by Li Qingfei.

After that, Li Qingfei added a slight wound on his cheek, and her opponent, the mermaid woman, now had two tragic wounds on her body, one pierced her shoulder, and the other cut open the fish's tail, leaving layers of scales. Turning around, blood spilled out.

She failed in the first fight just because she was not familiar with the mermaid's attack method. She would not be merciful the second time. The swordsmanship like mist and rain was not only beautiful to look at, but the lethality that broke out in an instant was also extremely dangerous.

In the subsequent battles, Li Qingfei defeated the remaining few people one after another until the game was over.

"In the first game, Li Qingfei won..." the host announced the result.

"'Misty Rain' Li Qingfei once again brought us surprises. This girl in oriental clothing is impressive with her swordsmanship that is difficult for ordinary people to achieve, her extremely focused belief, and her decisive and fast fighting style. Although she doesn't know the final outcome of this competition. Who will be the winner, but I think she is definitely one of the candidates that everyone is most looking forward to.”

After the host commented on the situation of the first game, the second game started. At this time, Tilan still did not play, but Drogosi in the team did.

In the chaos of the battle, he sometimes looked for opportunities to quickly defeat his weak opponent, and sometimes concealed himself and removed the red marrow crystal from the copper machine. Finally, he won by finishing second in the group.

In the third game, there was no familiar character from Tilan. In the fourth game, Wei Ke appeared. This time she seemed to be unable to hide her strength anymore.

The silver mirror shattered, and the opponent in front of Wei Ke looked stunned. Then a silver sword emerged from behind him. With the help of the mirror, Wei Ke quickly penetrated the opponent with his sword and defeated him.

Although the top geniuses he met later were stronger than Wei Ke in terms of swordsmanship and strength, they still found it difficult to gain the upper hand against the elusive girl with a silver mirror. After that, they had to give up the red marrow crystal they were about to obtain and retreat to find other opponents.

In this competition, Wei Ke got the first place, which surprised the audience and cheered.

"Classmate Wei Ke from the distant Four-leaf Crystal Star Territory, the secret method she uses is mysterious. Even I am the first to know that there is such a school. However, after urgently supplementing my knowledge, I already understand it." The host. The post-match comments made the audience curious.

"'Silver Mirror Killer' Wei Ke is a student of the 'Witch Sect'. You may not know much about this sect now, but it was once extremely glorious. The secret methods within the sect were all imitated by those famous witches in history." Hosted. After some explanations, many people became interested in the 'Witch Cult'.

The intermission ended and the fifth game began.

There was still no Tilan this time, but the girl named Sally was present.

The stealth and flash sword technique she used once again exerted great power in the competition. Even many players who were originally stronger than her were unable to withstand it and were defeated one after another, unable to withstand several rounds of attacks.

After the competition, Sally won the first place, which aroused the exclamation and admiration of many spectators.

"What a special girl. She seems to be very polite and lovable."

"The rosettes wrapped around the hilt of the cross sword are also particularly beautiful."

While everyone was discussing, the sixth game began. A special genius emerged in this game. The swordsmanship he used was not so much swordsmanship as it was a high-level application of some kind of Ayaka formula, distributed light prisms. Such as locking the opponent with a cage, and then easily defeating the opponent with a sword.

"'Grating Seal' Trebin, this talented young man from the Sextant Starfield, is a son of the Star who grew up on the space station. He is especially good at the calculations of the Aijaka formula and uses various special secret techniques to seal The opponent attacks and then wins easily." The host introduced his style and then commented.

In the seventh game, a mermaid girl using two swords won the first place. She was almost crushed in the whole process, which was surprising.

In the eighth game, the last game of the first round of the finals, Tilan finally appeared on the stage, as if for the finale, she was deliberately placed at the end.

"Our beloved and popular Book Sword Princess, or 'Purple Lightning Sword Princess' Miss Danterian will appear again. I wonder what surprises she will bring you this time." The host announced the list. , the game officially begins.

Holding the sword blade, Tilan walked up to the huge tilting and rotating clock with light steps. At this time, the sky also seemed to tilt. Countless spectators shook their fluorescent sticks, and the noisy and lively sounds broke through the silence of space.

On the majestic clock scale, players in different clothes also appeared one after another. Some of them were unknown, and some enjoyed the cheers and expectations of the crowd. This was a huge stage across the star field, a shining moment that countless people dreamed of. Reaching the finals is a lifelong dream and conversation piece for many people.

Envy, longing, jealousy, adoration, excitement, countless emotions are boiling, and merge into the huge melting pot of the venue. Being in it, countless lights are added, countless details are amplified, such a stage is enough to make some weak-willed people feel trance-like. , like falling into a dream.

However, the huge bell ringing in the clock broke the silence and woke up the addicted and absent-minded people.

"Game start!"

After the announcement, the contestants rushed towards their goals. Some were eager to defeat their opponents to gain points, some were trying to unravel the structure of the mechanical creation and take out the gems inside, and some were occupying the positions of the two hands to accumulate magic power. , prepare powerful moves.

"The Secret Land of Snow, the winds from all directions are coming!" A young man dressed in oriental style shouted. The ground under his feet was frosted, and the ice and snow generated firmly stuck his feet to the ground, which also provided better leverage. , and then the frost under his feet spread everywhere, forming complex textures on the copper clock.

"Jiu Yu kills in the night with two swords piercing the moon!"

Another contestant in black also jumped into the air, taking advantage of the low gravity environment to fly extremely high to avoid the ice sword wind of the young man below. Then his body suddenly turned back, two sword lights staggered and strangled, and he pounced downwards. Young people setting up formation.

The two fought against each other several times on the surface of the clock dial, and they were so full of murderous intent that other contestants did not dare to approach easily. They could only pick up the red marrow crystals in the mechanical creation to accumulate points.

The icy sword wind slashed, showing its sharpness and at the same time easily avoiding various structures on the clock dial, which was dizzying. In each fight, the young man in black began to fall behind, and then even more in the icy cold. During Jianfeng's pursuit, he hid in the hole of the clock, passed through it, and entered the back of the clock.

Compared with the front, there are very few things on the back of the clock, and the gravity generating device of the entire clock is on the dial. After passing through the central dial, under the action of gravity, it will receive a force in the opposite direction, like a pendulum.

After dodging the attack, the young man in black used this mechanism to shuttle back again while the clock was turning, and pounced on the opponent on the other side.

Pieces of clothing were flying, sword lights were intertwining, and while the two were fighting fiercely, Tilan jumped lightly between the mechanical creations, curiously unraveling the components and taking out the true red and transparent gems.

She also met several other contestants along the way, but these people stayed away from her and no one came forward.

Just kidding, the first and second place finishers in the previous games were easily defeated by this girl. I would definitely lose if I go up, so why go up and seek defeat? Why not just accumulate some points first and survive until the end to advance.

In this way, in the first few minutes of this game, except for the two people who were fighting fiercely in the opening, the others tried their best to avoid the fight. Only a few unexpected encounters would make a few moves. If they couldn't fight quickly, it would be very difficult. Get out of the way.

Once again, the two young men in the center passed each other. The young man holding the Ice Wind Cold Sword finally wounded the young man in black. The ice spikes extending from the ground pierced the body and fixed the opponent on the clock dial.

After eliminating this old enemy, he, who was good at wielding the Cold Sword, turned around and began to deal with the other players, grabbing the red marrow crystal gems from their hands one by one.

In this way, until she finally met Tilan, who had black hair and wore a skirt, the girl had four red marrow crystal gems in her hand, and the young man had five of them.

"You must be Danterian." He stood with his sword in hand, his eyes focused.

Nodding slightly, Tilan also stood with her sword in hand, looking at it from a distance. At this moment, the two of them stood on both sides of the dial. The exquisite mechanical creation in the distant sky slowly rotated according to its trajectory. There were no other contestants.

Looking at the girl in front of him, the young man's eyes changed several times, and he was also thinking about how to deal with it.

He had seen this girl's previous battles, but he always felt that the opponent was not trying his best, which made him a little irritated. Because he did not know the opponent's true level and expertise, he could not formulate favorable countermeasures, and could only open a blind box. Test and fight.

He took a deep breath to calm himself down, and then flipped the blade. During the swing, the ten blades of cold wind sliced ​​through the air, hitting the girl with an arc that was difficult to capture.

As if facing a mirror, the black-haired girl also swung her sword. The blade transformed by ten cold winds flew forward, colliding with the opponent's sword wind and annihilating it.

Probably taking advantage of the characteristics of the sword wind, if it cannot hit the opponent, it will quickly dissipate. In this way, even if the opponent is not hit, the environment will not be damaged. The girl mentally analyzed the characteristics of the opponent's move.

It is precisely because of the rules that many long-range attacks and large-scale methods are restricted, because they will cause huge damage to the arena environment.

The same applies to flame skills. Too high-temperature energy will melt the copper on the surface, which will also lead to a large number of points deductions. The entire competition rules are designed to encourage players to use close combat and quick and light combat methods.

Seeing that his moves were learned and mastered by the other party, the young man felt unhappy and resorted to various sword moves, but Tilan was always able to resolve them one by one.

There seems to be nothing new. The girl commented in her mind that this young man was not at the same level as the previous Li Qingfei. He was just like the kind of person who could only stupidly use the moves in the classics one by one without fully integrating them. , and has no own style, very rigid.

It's just that the moves he uses are well designed, so it's difficult for outsiders to see the shortcomings in them, and they may even find them cool and good-looking.

She probably has a good sect inheritance and decent talent, Tilan finally thought to herself.

There was no need to continue. After making up his mind, the sword edge in Tilan's hand changed, and he rushed towards the opponent quickly. His figure was graceful and erratic, making it difficult for the opponent to grasp the specific position. The sword skills that followed were like mist and rain. , appearing and disappearing from time to time, making it difficult for the young man to deal with it. If Tilan hadn't been willing to try the move and not have the idea of ​​defeating the opponent immediately, he would have been forced to withdraw during the fight.

Half a minute later, a sword passed through the young man's collar, and the cold sword edge passed by his neck. Although it only left a slight trace of blood, the coldness seeping out of it made him feel like he had fallen into an ice cave.

"Clang-"

The long sword in his hand fell, and the hilt hit the ground, making tiny dents. Then it bounced up and floated in the air. He lost his ability to fight and was announced by the referee to leave the game.

"The eighth game, Miss Danterian wins!" The host's passionate voice sounded again, and the cheers in the venue were instantly drowned out.
