Skeleton Elf
Chapter 111 Bang, Bang, Bang
The slow-motion replay showed a close-up. Kai Tiger's punch used *Shǎn Jí* (Blitz), the force of which, combined with the striking technique, made the entire mech feel like it was skidding.
But that wasn't the main point. The first punch cut in, and it slowed down again.
The fierce first punch made Sai Butan very uncomfortable, but it didn't end there. Then, visibly, the mech's fist vibrated.
Boom, boom…
"Basic close combat technique, Three Impacts, also known as Triple Wave," Yan Peng said casually.
Perfect high-frequency triple vibration, the limit of Kai Tiger's physical output, couldn't be any stronger.
Question marks and exclamation points filled the screen. Zhuang Zhou silently glanced at Huo Nan, then stood up, swinging his arms, twisting his hips, glaring at Huo Nan, saying nothing, but saying everything.
Huo Nan stared blankly at the mech, pounding three times like a pile driver, each strike hammering into his bones.
A huge space fortress landed in the live broadcast room, and all the fans who bet on Mu Ou could participate in the lottery to try their luck.
Then it was emptied in seconds.
Huo Nan's face became even paler, his heart bleeding.
On the other side, Li Hao received a friend request from Sai Butan, which he accepted.
Sai Butan was listening to Yan Peng's analysis, which was about ninety percent accurate. They were very familiar opponents anyway, so there were no surprises.
Others only saw his continuous attacks, but didn't know the immense pressure he was under, the intense psychological pressure of each attack sinking without a trace. When Kai Tiger could completely dodge his attacks, Sai Butan knew in his heart that the guy was still the same person…
…perhaps even more terrifying.
Unable to fight head-on, he had to use the advantages of the mech and his combat experience. The *Shǎn Jí* knee kick wasn't intended to hit at all; it was just a feint.
After his *Shǎn Jí* feint failed, Sai Butan was already desperate. If it weren't for the live broadcast, he would have spread his hands and said, "Do what you want."
As for how Kai Tiger broke through the defense of a boxer-weak fighter, Sai Butan never doubted it from the beginning. If he dared to choose it, he must have his reasons, but he didn't expect to lose in the end to the most basic skill for every warrior: the three-hit combo.
Sai Butan couldn't help but smile bitterly, and his teammates swarmed up, chattering.
"Boss, what's going on? Who is this guy? Do you know him?"
"Was that an eight-hit combo just now? How could he achieve that effect?"
"Even a heavy mech can't produce that kind of speed."
"Hey, boss, he added you as a friend?"
"I heard that Mu Ou doesn't add friends?"
"Nonsense, look who the boss is! Adding him is giving me face!"
"I think he just accepted Zola from Galaxy…"
"…Could it be that he likes men?"
Sai Butan smiled wryly, "Someone I knew before."
"Wow, how come such a master has been unheard of? What's his name? Which academy is he from?"
Gui Jiaxiao shook his head, "It was a long time ago, let's not talk about it."
Only the members of the youth training camp knew about this person, and only a part of them. Only the participants knew the details of the incident back then. Afterwards, the major federations silenced the matter, especially the people who experienced it.
Huo Nu was silent. After all, he was a dormant volcano. Looking at the Earthlings in the comments who had taken his red envelopes and were mocking him, Huo Nu's heart felt like it was being pricked with needles. Why?
"Are you all stupid?" Huo Nu suddenly blurted out. Zhuang Zhou was stunned. "Huo Nu, what did you say?"
"I'm saying, aren't you challengers stupid? The previous matches have made it very clear that this guy is good at gunfighting and only knows close combat. Why, must you fight him in close combat?!"
Zhuang Zhou was momentarily speechless. It seemed, maybe, there was some truth to that. After a moment, "Huo Nu, it's strange. The warriors in this rank focus on accumulating experience and improving their skills, not missing out on a good opportunity to learn from each other because of a simple ranked match. Don't you understand that?"
"I don't care. I'm issuing a reward. Whoever can defeat Mu Ou, I'll personally reward one million!" Huo Nu roared.
Zhuang Zhou was dumbfounded. He knew that Huo Nu had lost a lot recently. Could he still afford it?
"Do streamers make so much money?"
Gui Jia looked at Huo Nu with some envy. Small streamers like him only earned a pittance. "Huo Nu, you wouldn't want to go back on your previous agreement, would you? A deal is a deal. I remember Martians are very generous."
Instantly, the atmosphere froze. Huo Nu's excellent performance suddenly became a little awkward. Damn it, when did this little brat become so smart? He really couldn't afford to play anymore. If things continued like this, he would go bankrupt. Streaming was his profession, to make money, not to lose money and make a name for himself, so he wanted to use a trick, to replace the real thing with a fake, and use one million to finalize the matter.
"Yo, yo, yo, tsk tsk, isn't this the Martian pure man?"
"I've seen it, I've seen it. He can even be cowardly with so many tricks, not bad!"
"Huo Nu, just admit it if you're cowardly, be generous. I only got ten yuan from your red envelope, I'll buy a pack of toilet paper later."
"Don't brag like you're something. Don't act tough if you don't have the skills. You're a big streamer? You're not as good as our little Zhuang Zhuang!"
Huo Nu's style had obviously made many Earth viewers hold back a bellyful of anger. Finally, they had a chance and wouldn't let him go.
Huo Nu glanced at them, "What nonsense are you spouting? I'm a dignified ro-"
As Huo Nu, with tears in his eyes, opened the Tianxun with a trembling hand, the Earth viewers were a little moved, so it was emptied in seconds, and they very warmly and "amicably" shared their luck with Huo Nu, hoping that Huo Nu could feel their warmth.
At that moment, Huo Nu felt that the whole universe was targeting him. Why?
When did everyone become so indifferent to failure?
Why didn't someone shoot me with a laser?
If he still had his skills from back then, he would have done it himself.
A Youyou crossed her legs and couldn't stop laughing. This pair of streamers was really funny. If Zhuang Zhou seemed to be from Tianjing Ares College, it felt like Huo Nu wouldn't last long.
Mu Ou was very strong and very mysterious. She still vividly remembered the match where Kai Tiger dominated with the sniper rifle. After all, in her impression, her cousin was a very proud person. She wondered who was more powerful, Li Hao or Mu Ou. She suddenly wanted to chat with her cousin.
Girls generally needed to share, and in Tianjing, A Youyou didn't have anyone she could confide in.
She dialed the Tianxun, and it was obvious that it was a little noisy on Tita's side. It seemed that Alz and Feynman were arguing again.
"What eight-hit combo? That has already reached the realm of Eightfold Strength, the ultimate of *zhi gang zhi yang* (ultimate yang)!"
"It shouldn't be there yet. If it were Eightfold Strength, it wouldn't be so simple to beat him back."
"Does it matter? To produce that kind of frequency with Kai Tiger, that Mu Ou must be a ghost!"
"A Youyou, when are you coming back?" Tita ignored the two fools.
"I'll be staying on Earth for a while. Do you want to come to Tianjing to hang out with me?"
"Hang out? Little miss, I have to train. How can I be as carefree as you? Besides, the team has been facing some challenges recently, I'm extremely busy. Speak if you have something to say, otherwise, kneel and leave."
"It's nothing much, just that I met a special… girl…"
"Ah, ah, wait a moment, don't hang up," Tita glanced at the teammates around her. "I have something very important to discuss. You guys continue. Feynman, keep a close eye on them. No one is allowed to slack off!"
"Okay, A Youyou, let me change locations so we can chat slowly," Tita said excitedly.
"Are you busy?"
"What are you joking about? I am your blood-related sister. Come on, tell me all about it. Have you hooked up yet? Is she fierce?"
