Chapter 719 Special Competition, Beauty Contest
Chapter 719 Special Competition, Beauty Contest
Hearing this, the Valkyrie smiled for the first time.
It is as if the iceberg has melted and all things have revived. The charm of this fleeting sight makes the explorers lose their minds.
But this charming smile only lasted for a moment, and the next moment, it was washed away without a trace by the rising murderous intent.
"In that case, I will do it with peace of mind."
The Valkyrie said this, but her hands did not reach for the sword at her waist, but instead she made a starting stance for a boxing move.
The next moment, the air pressure between heaven and earth suddenly dropped, and the soul surged like a tide. Before the punch was thrown, the earth began to shake.
When the murderous aura filled her body, almost covering her figure, Su Bai threw out her fist.
Lu Li stared at the Valkyrie without blinking for a moment. He saw the punch go from slow to fast, and when it hit the target, soft force and hard force burst out at the same time.
At the same time, the soul energy gathered like a river flowing into the sea and exploded at one point. The chain of power echoed and impacted like waves.
boom--
A thunderous sound rang out between heaven and earth, and the shock wave blew away several nearby contestants. The only ones who could stand firmly in the arena were Lu Li and Silk Stocking Milk Tea.
Under the shocked gazes of the crowd, the numbers on the test crystal jumped rapidly, and in an instant they had turned into four digits, and were still rising rapidly.
1000…2000…3000…all the way to 9999!
Even after reaching its limit, the chain force of the soul has not dissipated.
click-
With a crisp sound, the crystal ball first cracked, and then it shattered under the force and exploded backwards as if it were to collapse.
It happened in a flash. From the time the Valkyrie punched the crystal ball to the time the crystal ball was shattered, it took only a little over a second, as if it was a delayed explosion.
However, all the experts had already seen clearly the process of the numbers on the crystal ball jumping. Moreover, it was being broadcast on the big screen and there was also a recorded broadcast. Through continuous playback, all the audience knew what had just happened.
"Nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine!? Exploded!?"
Ke Lie was so shocked that he almost jumped up from the stage, his mouth opened to an inhuman size, "No... This is impossible!?"
Although there are some minor flaws in the design, but theoretically, no one at this level can break this crystal ball even if they search all over the universe.
He guessed that the legendary lineage was very terrifying and thought that the Valkyrie would score higher than Silk Stocking Milk Tea, but he never expected that the other party would blow up the crystal ball.
"Is this... is this the power of the secret... that lineage?"
Wang Xiaoxiao was also very surprised and covered her mouth in the middle of speaking, as if there was some taboo involved.
At this moment, in the arena, explorers from all sides were looking at the Valkyrie in horror, questioning their lives.
They tried their best and could only hit a few hundred points, but the other person didn't even use his main weapon, he just punched and blew up the crystal.
9999 is not the upper limit of the Valkyrie, but the test upper limit of that crystal!
Even Silk Stocking Milk Tea had a frown on his face at this time, looking at the Valkyrie with a serious expression. He had expected that this legendary Valkyrie would be very strong, but he didn't expect her to be so strong.
Lu Li's eyes were wide open at this moment. If it weren't for the competition rules that strictly prohibited private fighting, he would have rushed up and fought the Valkyrie right away.
There is no doubt that among all living people, the other party is the strongest martial artist he has ever seen since he was born.
Chu Chu did not lie to him. The other party was indeed extremely strong. Although he did not have a spiritual seed, he was the biggest cheat.
"Is the Mermaid's Heel so strong?!"
"The Valkyrie is truly a role model for us female wizards!"
"Valkyrie, Valkyrie!"
"..."
After a strong shock, the whole audience began to cheer, and the name of Mermaid Heel temporarily overshadowed Fairy Tail, which was ranked first.
The main reason was that the test of this crystal was too intuitive. Other players could only score a few hundred points, and Swordbite Tiger, the ace of the first guild, only scored 2681 points. But the Valkyrie blew up the crystal with one blow!
For a time, both male and female audiences were fascinated by her. Female audiences have become die-hard fans of the Valkyrie. They think that the sister is so cool and strong, and is as good as any man. She is an idol of female magicians.
"It's really unexpected that the Valkyrie of Mermaid Heel actually broke the crystal and became the highest scorer. So the result of today's competition has been determined."
The Pumpkin Judge was shocked and began to announce the results.
In the end, Fairy Tail Team A got 10 points for first place, Mermaid Heel got 8 points for second place, Saberbite Tiger got 6 points for third place, and so on.
When Lu Li returned to the stands, he was warmly welcomed by his guild mates.
"Brother Lu, you are so strong. I didn't expect your modeling magic to be so powerful."
Natsu said excitedly.
Gray also looked at him sideways, showing a rare humility, "Brother Lu, I will need your advice more in the future."
"No, no, actually he is wrong. This is not shaping magic, it is just a special kind of summoning magic."
Lu Li said modestly that he didn't dare to teach Gray modeling magic, after all, he knew nothing about the magic in this world.
"Brother Lu is very powerful, but the Valkyrie with Mermaid Heel today is also very strong."
Lucy also came over and said, glancing at the Valkyrie who was surrounded by Mermaid Heels across from her.
"He is indeed very strong, a formidable opponent."
Erza nodded.
"I don't know who is stronger, the Valkyrie of Mermaid Heel or our Fairy Queen."
Someone in the guild sighed.
"What are you talking about? Of course Erza is stronger!"
Someone said with a smile.
However, Erza, the person involved, shook her head with a serious expression, "I dare not speak nonsense. The Valkyrie is the strongest female wizard I have ever seen. I really hope to fight with her and learn from her."
She was a relatively stable and powerful member of the Fairy Tail Guild, so naturally she had a good eye, and she took the Valkyrie's punch lightly, but she felt that if she were put in the Magic Crystal's position, she would probably die.
"Let's not talk about this any more. We won another victory today. Let's go have dinner and have a party!"
Natsu said with a smile, full of energy. He won a battle yesterday, and the Fairy Tail Guild's A team won consecutive games, so he was naturally in a good mood.
Fairy Tail's Team B didn't have the best record, but it wasn't bad either. Everyone didn't blame their teammates and only talked about things that made everyone happy.
At noon, after another round of laughter and joy, everyone looked forward to the afternoon's competition.
The rules of today's battle have changed again, becoming a one-on-one fight.
On paper, each guild still gets 10 points after winning, but in the explorer's task list, they can each get 20 points after winning, which is double the amount of yesterday.
In line with the principle that guilds do not repeat battles, in today's draw, guilds that fought yesterday will not meet. But to Lu Li's regret, today Fairy Tail Team A not only failed to draw Mermaid Heel, but also drew Team B, resulting in a civil war.
There was no suspense. Lu Li and his team A won another game. Lu Li scored a total of 168 points today, which is equivalent to 168 inheritance crystals.
It is said that Lingxu Temple will officially open a store for exchanging inheritance crystals tomorrow. There are also special items in the store that can be purchased with points. Lu Li is already ready to go shopping.
After he replenished the inheritance crystals, without thinking too much, he was ready to bet some more on himself while the odds in the group handicap still had some profit.
Anyway, the inheritance crystals cannot be spent in the mission world, so if you can use money to make money, the more money you can make, the better.
…………
The Great Demon Fighting Martial Arts Show has come to the third day. Currently, Lu Li is far ahead in both the guild points and the space team points.
Fairy Tail Team A currently has a perfect record of 40 points, and Lu Li has scored several hundred points personally, which has made the other players jealous.
But there is no use just envying others, you have to fight for the points with your own strength.
After two days of competition, many of them have faced the reality that most of them can only be the captain's pendants, and their captain can only be a runner-up in front of the big guys.
The audience naturally has no idea what the contestants are thinking, but after the fierce fighting in the first two days, the audience is very much looking forward to the Grand Demon Fighting Show.
Early this morning, the venue was already filled with spectators, huge crowds of people waiting for today's special competition.
When the Pumpkin Judge showed up, everyone looked at him, wondering what new job he would do today.
In the Fairy Tail stands, everyone was speculating about today's game and thinking of strategies in advance.
"Brother Lu, let me play in today's match. I will definitely win another round!"
Natsu said enthusiastically.
"Haven't you already had a fight? Let me go!"
Gray and Natsu were at loggerheads.
"What are you talking about? Who said you can't play again after fighting? Shouldn't the one who can win be allowed to play?"
Natsu and Gray were standing head to head.
"What did you say? Are you trying to say I can't win?"
The veins on Gray's forehead were exposed.
"Gray, clothes."
Lucy reminded him while holding her forehead.
Gray suddenly woke up, looked down, and found that he was only in a pair of shorts, "Oh no, when did it happen?"
Juvia, who was sneaking behind Gray, covered her face with her hands and said shyly, "Mr. Gray, you are still so handsome today."
Seeing that Natsu and Gray were about to return to normal, Erza stepped in and hammered them on the head with her left and right hands, "Be quiet, I'm going to read the rules!"
Natsu and Gray were like mice seeing a cat when they saw Erza. They didn't dare to talk back. They lowered their heads and said in unison, "Yes..."
After the little farce, the Pumpkin referee had already turned on the big screen and began to read out today's rules, "Everyone, listen carefully, today's special competition is - a beauty pageant!"
"Beauty pageant!?"
Many contestants and guild members were stunned when they heard this word, not knowing what was going on.
The pumpkin referee was flying in the air. "The person who set the questions for this special competition is the founder of the weekly Sorcerer magazine. As we all know, sometimes wizards don't necessarily need to use force to solve tasks. Charm that can convince people is also very important. Therefore, the special rules of our competition today are to compete in beauty pageants."
Referee Pumpkin's reasons were not convincing, but no one in the audience refuted them, let alone shouted that there was some shady deal going on.
After all, everyone wants to watch this so-called 'beauty pageant'!
The cryptic words of the Pumpkin Referee also explained to the explorers that the space brawl tests the comprehensive abilities of the contestants, and the secret rules test stealth, dodging and accurate capture of the target.
The rules of the Demon-Slaying Hall are essentially to test combat power and strategic vision. Today's rules are to test charm. The charm attribute is not useless for explorers. Some explorers can thrive in the mission world with their outstanding negotiation skills.
However, this is very embarrassing for the participants of this competition.
Lu Li himself would not say anything. Anyway, when he looked around, apart from Mo Ling, a powerful charmer, the charm of others was not very high. It would be better to say that most of them were ruthless people with low charm.
The ones with the most miserable looks now were Crow's Tail and the four puppy explorers. They just felt that they had drawn a very bad lot.
They had no chance of winning this competition. Not to mention the beautiful wizard, it was hard to even find a normal-looking man in their guild.
The natives cannot be relied upon. They are all men themselves, and most of them are of non-human races. What can we do?
"Brother Sanyan, I actually never said..."
Gorilla Fire came up to the Three-Eyed Lord and said, "I think you are quite pretty. If you were to dress up as a woman, you might win first place!"
"Fuck you, you dead gorilla! Why don't you dress up as a woman?!"
The veins on the forehead of the Three-Eyed God were exposed. "I am a master of the Divine Spiritual Space. Would I dress as a woman for a few points in a competition? I tell you, even if I were to fight a Valkyrie today and die here, I would never dress as a woman!"
Several explorers from the Four Puppies were making a fuss, and the situation on Raven's Tail's side was not much better. It seemed that only Freya, a red-haired girl, could barely make it onto the field.
Some are happy and some are worried. These two families are worried, but the other families, after thinking about it, find that this rule is unexpectedly good.
After all, if it was a combat event, they would never be able to beat Lu Li, Valkyrie and Silk Stocking Milk Tea, but if it was an entertainment event like this, they still had a chance to score.
The big screen shows that in this round of special rules, each guild can send out any number of players, no matter how many or how few. In the end, all the audience present will give scores. The guild with the highest scorer will be ranked first, and subsequent rankings will be decided by the highest-scoring players from each guild.
In the direction of the Blue Pegasus, they sent out their ace female model Jenny Lialette without thinking.
In the direction of Saberbite Tiger, after some hesitation, they launched the Celestial Mage Yukino and their eldest daughter Minerva, while Snake Princess Scale sent out Shirley.
In the stands of Fairy Tail, Lu Li looked at the rules with a strange expression. He found that he was really useless in this competition. Fortunately, the guild he chose was incredibly strong in this track!
Erza, Lucy, the Mirajane sisters and others volunteered, and even the shy Wendy was pushed out by the crowd's clamor, obviously determined to win this battle.
"Demon, Black Lily, it's time for you to perform meritorious deeds!"
Lu Li said earnestly.
Mo Ling didn't mind, she felt that this was her track and it was time to use her charm to score countless points.
After all, the special rules state that the audience's votes can be exchanged for team points at a certain ratio.
Black Lily was a little conflicted. She raised her hand and pointed at her face which was wrapped in bandages. "I, I'll go?"
At this time, on the other side, in the direction of the Mermaid Heel, the Valkyrie and Blood Rain were staring at each other.
"Who... who's going to go up?"
The Valkyrie stuttered a little when she spoke for the first time. She felt that things were beyond her control. This damn special competition actually had events that she could not catch up with.
