A Race to (Be) The Top

The competition venue on the sixth floor was packed with spectators, and those who came a step late could only stay in the lobby to watch the live broadcast.

However, because the deer team advanced too fast all the way, they had to wait for the other teams to finish the battle in the preparation area, and the early spectators could only cheer for the deserted arena.

Ling Xiaolu was frightened by the crowds of spectators through the glass window: "Is there such a big difference between the first five floors and the sixth floor?"

"The first five floors can be drawn by luck, but the team that can reach the sixth floor has some strength." Zhenjiu's tone was different from the previous laziness, and he became obviously serious, "Be careful from here on. "

"What? Is it completely unnecessary for me to be careful from the first floor?"

Li Zheng interjected coldly: "Be careful, it means that when your teammates are invisible, don't casually expose the opponent's position. Do you know what is called sharp sight?"

"do not know."

"Experienced opponents can judge where your teammates are hiding from your line of sight."

Li Zheng gave Zhenjiu a look: "Demonstrate."

The body of Zhenjiu gradually disappeared, but it didn't completely disappear from Ling Xiaolu's vision, he could still see him.

He remembered Li Zheng's words, immediately looked away, looked at him seriously, and deliberately ignored the existence of Zhenjiu.

The translucent Zhenjiu walked back and forth irregularly behind Li Zheng.

He made a gesture suddenly, Ling Xiaolu's eyes drifted away subconsciously, and Li Zheng waved his left hand diagonally backward at the speed of light: "Over there!"

A ball of air shot straight through Zhenjiu's body, smashing a small hole in the wall.

"See, even if you are distracted for a moment, someone will catch you."

Ling Xiaolu still wanted to quibble: "But he moved."

"Moving, it may be that he is about to attack, or he is signaling to you to direct the next move. The movement of your teammates is also very important, because you must cooperate with him, and you cannot ignore him. You must pretend to be invisible, but you cannot Totally invisible."

"Isn't this too difficult?!"

"It's really difficult for inexperienced people," Zhenjiu comforted him, "so no matter how strong the individual team is, it will take a long time to achieve the level of absolute tacit understanding among the players. Even if you can't At this point, there is no need to feel pressured.”

Ling Xiaolu nodded seriously: "I will try my best not to hinder you and Master!"

Zhenjiu patted his head: "Relax, look at me after entering the arena."

"Hmm! ... But I can't see it!"

Zhenjiu paused for a moment, "Look at my gestures."

Li Zhengliang said: "Act according to my password."

"Then master, can you say a little more?"

"Do not."

Ling Xiaolu despaired: "I'd better observe the situation by myself."

Finally, all the teams were compared, and the results of the sixth draw came out, and the Deer team was about to face the Kuang Fuzheng Jiao team.

Touched after a long absence, "After playing for so long, I finally met a normal team name."

Zhenjiu: "I'll be invisible and go around the edge to see if there is a way to take one away at the beginning of the game. If the other side is also invisible, you have to be careful."

"Understood! I'll help you divert their attention!"

Ling Xiaolu flexed his wrists and strode into the crowded arena.

"Squad Deer! Squad Deer! Squad Deer!"

The sound of cheering was uniform and deafening.

It was this feeling, Ling Xiaolu closed his eyes and enjoyed it, this is his original intention of playing games, standing in the center of the focus of sight, listening to the world cheering for him.

Today, the original intention has not changed, and the collar is still there.On the alley of the Ling family, dreams were shattered all over the place.

The cheers fluctuated, the opponent seemed to be on the stage, and the crowd was chaotic.What kind of person came so attractive that half of the people would turn against him?

Ling Xiaolu slowly opened his eyes a crack, and after seeing the ID clearly, he woke up instantly.

"elder sister?!"

Ji Qing looked like she was fighting continuously and was busy with the world: "I finally caught you on this floor. If I can't meet again, I don't have the confidence to advance to the top floor."

Chu Ya, who is inseparable from her, is wearing a Chinese doll cheongsam—from the first day Ling Xiaolu knew her, her fashion has never been the same.

"Chu Ya's clothes today are so cute."

Chu Ya didn't accept his flattery: "If you praise me to the sky, it won't stop my determination to restore the Orthodox Church. I'm here to tell you that the cult has no good end."

The third person who appeared here was even weirder, "Nan Xun??!"

Nan Xun quickly waved his hands: "Ah, sisters are too good. I didn't do anything, but I was taken all the way to lie here. I will just squat down obediently."

After all, she really ran to the corner and sat down obediently, putting on a cute appearance.

Ji Qing pursed her lips and said, "It's our luck that we met all the cannon fodder along the way."

"Coincidentally, sister, we are too." He saw Zhenjiu who had touched it invisibly and retreated invisibly. He didn't know whether to pretend not to see it or to see it.

"Are you really going to fight with the sisters? Is it unfair that we fight two against three?"

"It's okay, we didn't treat you as a human being at all," Chu Ya said.

"what?!"

"No, I mean, I didn't regard you as an enemy at first," she forcefully explained, "Little Lubi is from our side."

"..."

"Take it as a competition, don't feel pressured." Ji Qing didn't look like the disadvantaged party at all, and instead encouraged Ling Xiaolu.

Ling Xiaolu: My pressure comes from being embarrassed to do it!

Zhen Jiu took the initiative to show up, clearly not wanting to take advantage of the other party.

"I don't need pets." He scattered all the crows, and the crows clattered all over the eaves.

Ling Xiaolu immediately followed suit: "I don't need pets either."

Great, he was worried that he didn't know what to think of as an excuse to keep sealing Fenglong.

Li Zheng: "I use it."

As soon as he stretched out his hand, Yunhu jumped to the center of the field, chased his tail around twice, sat on the ground and scratched his ears with his hind paws.

"so cute."

"I want to touch."

Just now, Chu Ya, who was shouting to correct the Fuzheng Church, and Nan Xun, who was obediently hiding in the corner, squatted in the center of the field at the same time, staring longingly at the white hair ball on the ground.

Ling Xiaolu: ...a fox bought the two on the opposite side, and it really belongs to the master.

Ji Qing: "Cough!"

The first bud returned to its place in an instant: "How can a mere fox confuse me?"

Nan Xun also obediently returned to the corner... still holding the fluffy Yunhu in her arms.

With a flick of Ji Qing's fingers, countless golden threads were entwined in the air, and the rays of light were dazzling, finally converging into a dazzling golden phoenix.

Ling Xiaolu wondered, how could two "pets" be brought out at the same time?

Ji Qing crossed her arms and opened them again, the phoenix turned into a holy sword suspended in front of her chest, the flowing glare of the sword was like a burning platinum flame.Ji Qing held the hilt of the sword, as if slowly pulling it out of the invisible scabbard, and finally held the sword obliquely in front of her body with both hands, like a goddess of war descending from the heaven, with a heroic posture and a bright look.

Just a bright sword action ignited the enthusiasm of the audience, and the audience shouted the title of "Miss" in unison. Ling Xiaolu seemed to understand where Ji Qing's high popularity came from, not only because of her special status, but also because of her special status. It's not a good face or a perfect figure with bumps, but she has a temperament that attracts everyone's attention as long as she stands there, not only attracting the opposite sex, but even straight girls will be bent by her.Such a charming young lady, who would be willing to do something to her?

Li Zheng: "Surrender!"

"Master, you are too disrespectful!"

Ji Qing threw the holy sword into the sky, and the sword rotated rapidly in mid-air. The afterimage of the movement formed a protective umbrella, cutting the icicles that fell from the sky into fine ice slags, which sputtered in all directions at high speed. Touching Ling Xiaolu's skin, it was like sand and gravel rolled up by a strong wind cutting his face.

Chu Ya also acted, and she conjured up a pipa in her hand. This musical instrument matched her clothes today perfectly.She lowered her head slightly, opened her palms slightly, and her five fingers gradually "grown" long nails, which were as long as the deadly gloves of Zhenjiu.Chuya flicked her five fingers, and the pipa made the passionate sound of a broken silver bottle, and a fist-sized ball of light flew out and poured into Ji Qing's holy sword.Accompanied by her twisting and picking, large and small light balls with long tails rushed towards the holy sword, exhausting the light to infuse it with strength.

Ji Qing's weapon seemed to be much stronger than when it first appeared. After the recasting of the sword body was completed, she caught it with one hand, then thrust it heavily into the ground, pinching her waist with the other hand, and her words were full of provocation: "Let's leave Zheng, with me, Ji Qing, here, how can I allow your ice and snow to exist."

Li Zheng was not in a hurry, without a silver snake weapon, he twisted his two fingers into a sword formula: "Knot!"

The ice surface spreads at the speed of light with his standing point as the center, and the powerful cold force makes all the obstacles that come into contact along the way - rocks, stairs, vegetation, all frozen into crystal ice.

How could Ji Qing show weakness, pointed her sword at the sky, and threw it into the air: "The ice and snow melt!"

The holy sword vibrated violently in the air, emitting a dazzling light, the speed of the ice spreading slowed down, and two completely different elemental forces were fighting.

Seeing this, Ling Xiaolu decisively chooses to help Lizheng.He pressed the ice surface with one hand: "Ice is coming!"

The power of the ice prevailed, and Ji Qing had a moment of surprise on her expression: "Little Lubi, you have learned a lot of skills."

Ling Xiaolu scratched his head embarrassingly: "You don't overwhelm yourself with too many skills."

The giant sword hanging above the head suddenly fluctuated greatly, flashed uncontrollably, and then spun and fell from the air.What fell to the ground simultaneously with the blade was a wisp of black smoke, which first turned into a part of Zhenjiu, and after he had completely landed, the black smoke behind him gradually condensed into a complete body shape.

Li Zheng raised two fingers, and began to chant spells. Ji Qing raised her toes, and the holy sword flew from the ground to her hand. After brushing two swords, the light and shadow of the phoenix rushed straight towards Li Zheng.

"There is Feng Laiyi!"

Ling Xiaolu still kept in mind the teaching of protecting Li Zheng from being interrupted in casting spells, and a side somersault landed firmly in front of Li Zheng: "Come on the wall!"

The phoenix crashed into the wall of swords, and all were annihilated.Li Zheng's chanting also came to an end: "Cut!"

The huge ice cone pierced Chu Ya, and Ji Qing flew back to save her, but was hindered by the ice and snow on the ground. Zhen Jiu turned her head perfectly to intercept it, and Chu Ya's pipa was shattered.

"Teacher, now."

Zhenjiu entangled Ji Qing, Chu Ya was alone and helpless, Ling Xiaolu instantly understood the meaning of Li Zheng, he showed his scimitar, and slid towards Chu Ya with the help of ice.

Chu Ya let out a crisp "hum", discarded the wreckage in his hand, and spun around gracefully, touching the ground with the tip of one foot.

When she turned around, she already had a flute in her hand.She put the flute by her mouth and blew it lightly. The melodious sound of the flute came directly to Ling Xiaolu's ears.

Ling Xiaolu suddenly felt weak in his hands and feet: "Ah, I have no strength." His hands collapsed, and the two scimitars almost fell to the ground.

Zhenjiu's movements were also obviously stagnant due to the sound of the flute. Ji Qing took the opportunity to push him away with her skills, and presented him with three consecutive lightsabers: "Retreat bravely in the rapids! Time is like an arrow!"

Ling Xiaolu was hit by a powerless DEBUFF, and he still had the strength to complain in his heart: Yes, these siblings can use their skills to play idiom Solitaire.

Being far away from Zheng and being the least affected, he swiped his long sleeves in the air: "Scatter!"

Ling Xiaolu revived on the spot, and continued to attack Chuya. At the same time, Ji Qing turned around and changed the target to him, and let go of the holy sword.

This is a weapon strengthened by Chuya, Ling Xiaolu reckoned that if he touched it, he would be half-crippled even if he didn't die.Seeing that the holy sword was about to stab him, Ling Xiaolu had no choice but to use his housekeeping skills. He turned his hands back to support the ground, and his body leaned back into a bow shape. superior.

The first bud came out with a "wow": "Little Lubi, this lower waist is fine, the body is very soft."

"..." Ling Xiaolu actually didn't want to reveal that he learned his basic dance skills in ballet class, because these movements were a bit girly and didn't match his mighty masculinity.

"First bud."

"what?"

He covered his mouth with his palm and whispered in her ear: "You are bald."

"..."

"Ah!!!" Chu Ya threw away the flute, covered her ears, screamed, and ran wildly in the arena, even Ji Qing was stunned.

"What did you tell her?"

Ling Xiaolu looked at the sky: "It's probably something that girls in the world don't like to hear."

Chu Ya came back after going around the field, gritted his teeth: "Xiaolubi! I will never let you go today!"

With a swipe of her hand, a Guzheng appeared suspended in mid-air.

"How many musical instruments do you have?"

"This is my elegy for you! It's majestic!"

Ling Xiaolu:? ? ?

Li Zheng finished the skill chant at the last second: "Crack!"

The frozen ice surface was torn apart, Ji Qing and Chu Ya both lost their balance due to the strong ground vibration, and the cracked ice surface revealed bottomless ground fissures.

"Wow! Master save me!" Chu Ya screamed in fear, a flash of golden light brought her safely off the ground.The two hugged each other tightly and spun away, and the petals of cherry blossoms fell all over the ground.

"Then teleport away?" Ling Xiaolu still felt a little regretful, "I haven't listened to the song yet."

Ji Qing and Chu Ya landed on the ground in a safe place beside Nan Xun, and the audience Nan Xun applauded for her opponent: "The deer is better than brother."

Ling Xiaolu looked over and was shocked. In the front row of the outfield not far from Nanxun, Dou Kou personally held a huge light board to cheer for Nanxun.

"Dou Zha??" Ling Xiaolu's voice was full of unbelievable emotions.

Dou Kou doesn't care who wins or loses at all, all his attention is on Nan Xun.

"Xiao Nanxun, although you haven't done anything, you are still great!... Do you like foxes? Daddy will take you to catch one, okay?"

"We played well, we admit defeat." Ji Qing separated from Chu Ya, congratulating her opponent generously.

"Little Lubi, I'll play it for you when I get back to the family territory."

"Okay!" Ling Xiaolu responded happily.

"Although you won, I still want to remind you." Ji Qing looked at Li Zheng meaningfully, "I met a very difficult opponent while waiting, so you should be careful in the next round."

Li Zheng's slender eyelashes drooped, wondering if he took Ji Qing's warning to heart.

Ling Xiaolu replied for him: "Don't worry, sister, there is no opponent my master can't beat, let alone Zhenjiu and me."

Ji Qing nodded slightly: "I wish you good luck."

Kuang Fuzhengjiao team surrendered.

Game [-]: Team Deer wins!

"I don't know who we will meet in the next round?" Ling Xiaolu teleported back to the preparation area, full of curiosity, "Master, do you have any suspicious candidates in your mind for the so-called troublesome target?"

"What's the rush?" Li Zheng remained calm, as if no opponent would influence his emotions, "The next match will start immediately."

He was right. The Deer team only had 60 seconds of rest time, and they were about to enter the finals. This meant that the opponents had finished the battle on the sixth floor earlier than them, and they were waiting for them in the preparation area at some point.

Ling Xiaolu touched his chest, thump, thump, unexpectedly a little nervous.

Zhenjiu guessed his thoughts: "Don't be nervous, our first challenge, this result is good enough, even if we lose, it doesn't matter."

"Where is Master? Does Master think so too?" Ling Xiaolu looked at Li Zheng worriedly, "If I lose, I won't be fined to go back to farming, right?"

"Win," Li Zheng swept over with ice-like eyes, "Could it be possible not to plant?"

"..."

Ling Xiaolu: I don't need to ask!

The top floor is different from the other six floors. It is a fully open open-air arena that can accommodate more off-site spectators. There are also professional commentators on site, which is no less formal than any official event.But a full house event like today is relatively rare.

The commentator enthusiastically introduced the players who successfully made it to the last level:

"The team that is about to play from the east gate is a freshly registered team that has only played one game this season - Deer Team! Even if you are unfamiliar with this team name, you will be surprised by its composition. They are - all The male god Lizheng who is so popular in the mainland is against the sky! The great demon king Zhenjiu who makes everyone frightened! And the newly famous, probably the most lucky Ouhuang Lubi! He will show us the full line today! Do you want to take on the unique Windbreather Wyvern? I personally look forward to it!"

The rules of the finals were different from the previous ones. The two sides had to take turns entering the arena in order, and only after the game started were they allowed to enter the invisible state.

The deer team took the lead, and the overwhelming shouts were enough to drown them out.

"Master, is the wind and cloud competition you participated in the same as it is now?"

"Is this a shame to call it a competition?" Li Zheng made it clear that he didn't pay much attention to the competition in the arena.

Zhenjiu also laughed and said, "The Wind and Cloud Competition is the most grand official event every year. The venue alone is several times larger than here, and it is broadcast live on all servers."

Ling Xiaolu imagined the spectacular scene, and sighed: "Hey, I really want to experience it."

The tone of the commentary was once again raised: "The next team coming out of the west gate must be familiar to the audience who have been following the arena for a long time. They are the gold medal team that dominates the seventh floor all the year round - half! Quarter! Clock! This team name It means that their opponents have never survived half an hour!"

Li Zheng's body shook slightly, and he slowly raised his eyes.

The opponents in the final round approached them slowly, and one of them spoke first.

"Li Zheng, long time no see.

"No, it should be said that it is the defeated general."

Li Zheng: "..."

Ling Xiaolu was surprised to find that the corners of his sleeves and clothes were blown by the wind. It was clear that the field was calm just now, why did it suddenly blow up?

"Strange, where does the wind come from? Master——"

In the middle of his speech, he stopped abruptly.

The gust of wind surrounds Li Zheng, curling hair and clothes dancing vigorously in the wind.Behind him, there is a three-story-high giant white snake, and the red letter spit out of its mouth is a full meter long.This is the first time Ling Xiaolu has seen the complete body of Lizheng's pet released, and the earthworms from Lizheng's cottage are not comparable to it at all.

Li Zheng's eyes were cold, colder than Ling Xiaolu had ever seen him before.In such a bitter cold wind, the words he uttered were cut like a knife.

"Wearing a mask."

Zhenjiu tilted her head slightly.

"If you lose this game, I will personally send you to jail."
