Chapter 501 Dark Horse and Hero
After hearing Beidou's words, Kong smiled awkwardly, then pulled Lin Feng and Paimon, and the three of them went to where the pearl box was.
The crowd was bustling and they struggled to make their way through it, hearing discussions and cheers from the air from time to time.
"Look, there's the Traveler, the great hero!"
"This match will definitely be exciting. I wonder who his opponent will be."
Various voices came one after another, and Kong instantly became the focus of everyone's attention.
When Zhu Han saw the three people coming, she smiled professionally, and that smile was friendly and natural. She bowed slightly, and then told Kong some of the information she knew.
"Your opponent in the semi-finals is named Rong Shi. I haven't heard of his name before. He is truly a dark horse." Zhu Han's eyes revealed a hint of mystery. She lowered her voice and continued, "In the previous competitions, he has won all the way and defeated many strong opponents. Every battle was extremely difficult, but he always managed to stand out with his tenacious perseverance and excellent fighting skills. I am not questioning the strength of the great hero, I just hope you can be fully prepared." Zhu Han's eyes revealed a hint of worry. Although she had heard of Kong's strength, Rong Shi's outstanding performance in the competition also made people dare not underestimate it.
After hearing what Zhu Han said, Paimong looked at Kong with trust in her eyes. She crossed her arms and said confidently, "How could he lose in a battle of this level?" Paimong was full of confidence in Kong. In her heart, Kong was like an unshakable mountain. His strength was beyond doubt. The victory of this match would definitely belong to Kong.
When Kong heard this, he felt a little uneasy, but considering his own strength, he should be able to deal with such a mortal. He clenched his fists, his eyes revealed a firm belief, and said: "I am ready, and I have reasons to win." Kong knew the importance of this game. It not only related to whether he could go to Inazuma, but also was a major test of his own strength. He would never allow himself to fail.
After hearing Kong say this, Zhu Han could only nod and said with a smile: "That's good, then let's go in." After that, he led Kong into the venue.
"Lin Feng, do you think the Traveler is okay? I'm suddenly a little worried." Paimon flew to Lin Feng and whispered. There was a hint of uneasiness in her eyes. Although she was full of confidence in the air just now, she couldn't help but feel worried as the competition was approaching.
Hearing what Paimeng said, Lin Feng patted her head and said with a smile: "Do you know what is the difference between the owner of the Eye of God and those ordinary people?" Lin Feng decided to analyze it theoretically for Paimeng to make her feel at ease.
Paimon covered his head, looked at Lin Feng resentfully, and said in pretended anger: "If you can't explain it today, don't blame me, Paimon's iron fist, for being ruthless!" Paimon waved his little fist and gestured in the air, trying to threaten Lin Feng.
Looking at Paimeng's silly and cute look, Lin Feng couldn't help but feel a little amused, but at the same time he also felt a little helpless. He smiled and explained: "The holder of the Eye of God can control the power of elements, and the elemental power will gradually change the user's body. It is undoubtedly a powerful enhancement to make it more compatible with this power. Even if ordinary people practice martial arts desperately, I'm afraid they can't match it. What's more, the traveler also has two elemental powers, so you can relax." Lin Feng patiently explained to Paimeng the secrets of the Eye of God and the advantages of Kong, hoping to eliminate her worries.
Hearing Lin Feng's words, Paimeng nodded, not quite understanding. She blinked her gem-like eyes and asked doubtfully, "I understand, but the traveler can't use the power of elements either." Paimeng's little head was full of questions. She didn't understand how she could guarantee victory even if she had the power of elements but couldn't use it.
After hearing this, Lin Feng suddenly felt powerless, as if a cold wind had blown through him. He sighed secretly, thinking that Paimeng's brain didn't seem to be very good at thinking about such complex problems.
So, he decided not to dwell on this topic too much, but simply said: "Forget it, your little head is probably not suitable for thinking about these profound things. Let's go watch the game." After that, Lin Feng ran towards the direction of the fight without hesitation.
Although Paimeng only half understood what Lin Feng said, she soon noticed a hint of impatience in Lin Feng's tone. She stamped her feet in anger and jumped in the air, but she could do nothing. Seeing that Lin Feng had already run far away, Paimeng had no choice but to fly towards Beidou angrily.
Beidou watched the two people arrive and looked at the venue, her heart becoming more and more excited. She shouted again: "Finally, we have ushered in the semi-finals that everyone has been looking forward to! Who will be the better of the heroes and the dark horses?" Beidou's voice spread throughout the venue through the loudspeakers, triggering a round of cheers from the audience. The cheers were so deafening that they seemed to overturn the entire venue.
When Rong Shi in the field heard Beidou's words, his face was as calm as a pool of stagnant water, without even a ripple of interest. He just responded lightly: "Prize? I have no interest..." His voice was low and calm, as if he was indifferent to everything around him, as if the whole world had nothing to do with him.
However, when he turned his eyes to Kong, a raging fighting spirit instantly ignited in his eyes, like a burning flame. The corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a provocative smile, and said: "But you are very strong, which is enough for me." Rong Shi's eyes revealed a determination to challenge the strong. He regarded Kong as the best opponent to prove his strength. In his eyes, only by defeating the powerful Kong can he truly prove his worth.
After saying this, Rong Shi rushed towards Kong without hesitation like an arrow from a bow, his speed was so fast that it was jaw-dropping. His figure left a blurry afterimage in the air, like a black lightning, and in the blink of an eye he was in front of Kong.
Seeing this, Kong immediately took a fighting stance like a tiger ready to attack, concentrating on preparing for Rong Shi's attack. He stood firmly on the ground with his knees slightly bent, his body weight lowered, his hands tightly grasped his weapon, and his eyes were fixed on Rong Shi, not missing any of his movements. His eyes were as sharp as an eagle, as if he wanted to see through Rong Shi's every move.
As the fight between the two unfolded, the atmosphere on the field instantly became tense. Rong Shi attacked fiercely, and every move and every style contained great power, as if he wanted to defeat Kong in one fell swoop. He swung the sword in his hand vigorously, and the blade cut through the air, making a sharp whistling sound, attacking Kong like a violent storm. Every attack was carried out with an indomitable momentum, making people feel his determination and strength.
