Chapter 131: The Unorthodox Move
Then, the referee, with trembling hands, picked up the loudspeaker and said with a complex tone:
"Ahem, as we can see, the current battle between the two sides is, um… very intense!"
"Although the scene on the field is a bit blurry, it’s clear that contestant Black Bear has fallen into a disadvantage!"
"While I sympathize with contestant Black Bear’s predicament, to be honest, if he doesn’t come up with a solution soon, this match will likely end his winning streak!"
"Because he is currently holding his breath and can’t breathe at all. You know, a person can’t last long without breathing, especially when engaging in strenuous exercise!"
"On the other hand, our newcomer, contestant Kuihua Ancestor, clearly made ample preparations before the match. Just look at his unique mask; you can tell it was specially made!"
In the audience stands, the shouts were continuous, so loud that even the referee’s loudspeaker was struggling.
Among these people, those who bet on Black Bear to win were full of anger, cursing Black Bear as useless and Yu Xiaogang as shameless.
And those who wanted to take a gamble and bet on Yu Xiaogang to win were all excited, cheering him on repeatedly.
As for those who hadn't placed bets, they had all turned into spectators enjoying the show, teasing Yu Xiaogang and Black Bear back and forth, secretly thinking, “This ticket was really worth buying today!”
In the private box of Bai Yu and the others, everyone, except for Flender who was so excited he almost jumped up, had expressions of speechlessness mixed with shock.
"Bai Ge, Grandmaster’s speed is so fast, almost comparable to Zhuqing when she uses a Spirit Ability. So, the characteristic of that cultivation method is speed, right?"
"But even if it’s speed, isn’t this a bit too abnormal? Spirit Abilities can’t be used continuously, so how can Grandmaster keep being so fast!"
After watching Yu Xiaogang’s performance, everyone knew what the characteristic of that cultivation method was, and they spoke non-stop, one after another.
Bai Yu snapped his fingers, looking at the scene on the stage with a strange smile in his eyes, and nodded, saying:
"You’re right, the characteristic of that cultivation method is extreme speed. As long as one successfully cultivates it, they will possess speed comparable to an agility-attack system Spirit Master."
"Since it’s a characteristic inherent to the cultivation method, as long as one’s spirit power doesn’t run out, their speed won’t decrease."
"Moreover, the more proficiently the cultivation method is practiced, the faster one becomes. Once it reaches mastery, one’s movements will be like Gui Mei!"
"It’s just a bit of a pity for Grandmaster; he’s made his Spirit Ability into a hybrid that has no attack power. Otherwise, he would have few rivals among those of the same rank."
After Bai Yu finished speaking, Dai Mubai looked at Black Bear being toyed with on the stage, shivered, and then asked in confusion:
"That’s not right, Bai Ge. Even if Grandmaster’s Spirit Ability has no attack power, there aren’t many people of the same rank who could beat him, right?"
"Look at that Black Bear. His strength is actually quite good. If I were the one fighting him, I might not necessarily win."
Bai Yu chuckled, glanced at Dai Mubai, and waved his hand at him.
"Haha, Mubai, you need to exercise some restraint. Why do I feel like your intelligence has noticeably declined recently?"
"Look closely again. Grandmaster is currently gaining the upper hand entirely because Black Bear is anxious and wants to win the match as quickly as possible."
"He’s currently holding his breath, and as the referee said, he can’t last much longer."
"And even if he goes all out and stops holding his breath, he still won’t last long in this environment."
"So, Grandmaster’s apparent advantage is limited to this one time. Once this gets out, others will be prepared, for example, by bringing a custom-made mask."
Dai Mubai’s mouth twitched violently at this moment, secretly cursing, “Damn dog, you’re not done, are you?”
Restraint? Restrain your grandma! You’re just mocking me for losing my mind, you really think I don’t understand!
But due to Bai Yu’s strength, he dared not speak out, only muttering to himself in secret. This feeling was truly unbearable!
Among the group, Ma Hongjun, who had been continuously peering out the window and staring at the arena, now looked puzzled and exclaimed in surprise.
"Huh? By the way, why isn’t Grandmaster using his third Spirit Ability? I heard Tang San say before that Grandmaster’s third Spirit Ability is quite powerful, isn’t it?"
No sooner had Ma Hongjun finished speaking than Flender slapped him on the back of the head before Bai Yu could explain.
"I tell you to read more books every day, but you’re either whoring around or acting like a pig! You only see its great power, but isn’t its consumption also great?"
"Xiaogang’s current strategy is to stall for time, waiting for the opponent to give out first. If his spirit power runs out first, wouldn’t he lose!"
Seeing Ma Hongjun crouch on the ground, holding his head, looking indignant but daring not to speak, Bai Yu couldn’t help but laugh.
"Haha, Fatty, you deserved that slap. It’ll serve as a good lesson for you."
"You need to know that when strengths are similar, choosing the correct fighting style based on the opponent’s situation is the prerequisite for ensuring victory."
"Grandmaster’s spirit power is clearly inferior to his opponent, and that Black Bear looks like he has strong defense."
"Even if he used his third Spirit Ability, the effect probably wouldn’t be that great, and it would also accelerate spirit power consumption."
"So, when the external environment is favorable to oneself, stalling is the most correct choice."
Ma Hongjun squatted on the ground, his eyes constantly rolling upwards, muttering to himself.
"So, if that’s the case, isn’t Grandmaster invincible?"
"Good heavens, if he meets someone with thick skin and flesh, he stalls them. If he meets someone squishy, he hits them hard. Who can beat that?"
Hearing Ma Hongjun’s words, Bai Yu raised a hand to cover half his face, speaking speechlessly:
"What are you thinking? It’s just fast; where’s the invincibility? Not to mention that with preparation, one’s spirit power can’t outlast others."
"Just regarding this speed, there are many ways to counter it, such as a large-scale control system Spirit Master, or a Spirit Master with a Domain, both of which are speed suppressors."
"Once he encounters such a person, with Grandmaster’s hybrid Spirit Ability, he would undoubtedly lose."
At this point, Bai Yu paused, licked his lips, and said with a hint of hesitation:
"Of course, there’s also a rather unorthodox method that can win!"
"To know this method, you first need to understand a piece of knowledge: that farts can burn."
"Given the current concentration on the arena in this match, if Black Bear were to pull out a fire starter, a huge explosion would occur instantly!"
"Comparing the defensive power of the two, Grandmaster would definitely not be able to withstand it, while Black Bear, relying on his thick skin and flesh, could completely win."
After Bai Yu finished speaking, everyone gasped, their eyelids twitching wildly, and they all looked at him with horrified expressions.
Is this guy a devil? How could he come up with such an unorthodox method? To put it bluntly, isn’t this just harming the enemy by a thousand and harming oneself by a thousand!
