Chapter 101 Second is second
"Wow!"
In Tianxiang University, the cafeteria, teaching building, and library, all places where the freshmen game was broadcast live, all made an uproar.
All students were exclaiming and applauding thunderously!
Many instructors were also moved by it!
Xu Heng finally demonstrated what he called "Xu's Triangle Kill" in the game, although the whole process only took less than two seconds, which was very fast.
But this clean and neat operation is simply picturesque, turning killing into an art form, which is very enjoyable to watch and very reversible.
This is a method that no one has thought of.
At first, when a dagger was thrown away, everyone thought that either his hidden weapon skills were unqualified, or that he was deliberately diverting the opponent's attention.
Who would have thought that throwing the dagger astray would be a big foreshadowing and the key to the triangle kill!
“How can Xiaohan Festival Commander still do this?”
“How come this kind of operation...hasn’t been thought of by anyone before?”
“Classmate Xu is too handsome, how did he come up with this idea?”
“As expected of being the top scorer, this junior Xu has something special.”
“After all, he is squad leader Xu. How can he be an ordinary person if he can be the squad leader of our Xiaohan Festival class?”
Many students were amazed and impressed by Xu Heng's operation.
“No, there must be something wrong here. Xu’s triangle kill looks simple and handsome, but in fact it’s not easy at all to complete!”
A senior mentor provided another insight.
"First of all, make sure that the direction in which the dagger is thrown is exactly the landing point after hitting the person. This involves many key factors, such as the dagger's flight speed, flight direction, flight height, and then the point where the person is hit. Flying strength, height, etc..."
The instructor analyzed and explained in detail, listed several factors, and said in a deep voice: "As long as one of the factors goes wrong, the flying dagger will miss the target, and may even miss the enemy."
When everyone heard this, they thought about it carefully, and even broke out in a cold sweat.
Yes, if the height of the dagger is a little lower, or a little slower, or the opponent is kicked out a little higher or something, the dagger is likely to miss.
But Xu Heng had everything under control, and even accurately penetrated the opponent's throat with the dagger, killing him instantly with one move.
How terrifying is this operation?
“Detailed, really detailed, monitor Xu is so detailed.” The boys in Xu Heng’s class exclaimed in admiration.
“Xu Heng’s killing scene, if nothing else goes wrong, will be included in the top ten records in the freshman competition over the years.” The instructor said happily.
…
On the other side, the conference room of Tiansi University was eerily quiet.
Director Liu and Liu Qi's father and daughter's faces were as dark as ink. They were the ones least willing to see Xu Heng's performance.
But I have to say that they couldn't pick out any thorns in Xu Heng's operation. It was so awesome.
However, if you have to choose, you can also choose.
"It's just grandstanding, but it's actually of no use. It's the first time it's used, and it will have unexpected effects. But now everyone knows, it's hard for him to succeed a second time." Director Liu So commented.
Several school leaders frowned and did not say much.
What they are interested in is not Xu Heng’s completion of Xu’s Triangle Kill, but Xu Heng’s creativity!
Since he can perform Xu's triangle kill, who is sure that he will have four-corner kill or five-corner kill in the future?
This kind of creativity is the most valuable!
“With his strength, he can actually complete Xu’s triangle without wasting so much time. If he does this, it will only hinder their team from qualifying for second place in the group and increase the risk of encountering our school’s team.”
Liu Qi said in a deep voice: "It can be seen from this that Xu Heng is just a person who only cares about the present and has no overall perspective."
This statement actually made the faces of several school leaders look a little better. It does make some sense.
If you have an overall view, you should be patient, retain your strength, and play more times in the next two rounds to increase the number of wins for your school team and ensure that you qualify first in the group.
This way we can avoid encountering other seed teams, such as Tiansi University.
But now Xu Heng doesn’t care about the consumption of solar terms and performs such a killing move. Who else can he rely on to turn the tide in the next two rounds?
…
At this moment, in the competition arena.
Snowflakes continued to fall all over the sky. After Xu Heng won the sixth game, Wang Zhen and three other students chose to abstain one after another.
Before the quarter-finals, you don’t have to worry about such small wins. As long as you win six out of ten games, you will be victorious and you can save three points.
So in order to have the remaining solar terms for the next two rounds, of course they had to choose to abstain.
Xu Heng didn’t stop them. After all, they would also need to contribute in the next round. He had to keep his trump card and surprise the teams after the top eight, hoping that the opponent would be Tiansi University.
So this first round of group competition ended immediately.
Xu Heng and his team had no more chance to rest and were sent directly to the next competition venue.
The opponents seemed to have finished the competition early and were already waiting for them.
“From Xinglian University, the fourth place in our group!” Wang Zhen breathed a sigh of relief after seeing his opponent’s combat uniform clearly.
This means that they don’t have to fight in this round and may have some energy left.
As for what Xu Heng said about taking second place in the group, the nine of them pretended not to hear it.
What does it mean that after qualifying second in the group, when they meet Tiansi University, they have to stop dreaming of reaching the quarterfinals?
What kind of battle plan is this? Is this our own plan to defeat the top eight?
So if you can't listen, there must be something wrong with the thinking of our team's tactical command.
However, the result of this round of competition was beyond the expectations of Wang Zhen and others!
The four of them who gave up in the previous round played early in this round.
However, the opponent was exactly the same as the people from Blue River University. He would throw a killing move when he came up, and immediately drink the solar term liquid, then rush forward and execute the killing move at close range in a fatal move.
Although all four of Wang Zhen survived and won a small victory, all four of them were forced to take solar term liquid.
“What benefits did Tiansi University promise them? Are they willing to work so hard?”
"I must complain to the Department of Education after I go out. This is not a competition, this is just targeting!" Wang Zhen and others were filled with indignation and were very annoyed.
Xu Heng said he was happy to hear it and comforted several people that there was no need to complain. It was just right to qualify for second place.
Then I watched the fifth student come back, winning another small victory.
But this classmate also took Qi Qi liquid.
Out of the ten people in the team, only Xu Heng and Cheng Shuyan were left with the solar terms liquid that had not yet been taken. The other eight people had all used up the solar terms liquid, and less than 30% of the solar terms in their bodies were left.
“Xu Heng, please delay the competition for a while, and we’ll try to recover a little more energy.” Cheng Shuyan immediately suggested.
“Whoosh!”
However, Xu Heng suddenly jumped forward more than ten meters, and then turned back and shouted: "What, what did you just say? Forget it, the game has started, we will talk about it later!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Heng took out the dagger from his waist and threw it forward.
It’s still Xu’s triangle killing!
But the difference is that this time he threw two daggers, hitting the opponent on the left and right sides.
The two daggers were both wrapped in the Xiaohan solar terms, glowing with black light, and galloped out with a fierce killing power.
Xu Heng also went into hiding at the same place and disappeared without a trace.
The opponent is a girl who has participated in battles in other competition venues before and has never seen Xu Heng's triangle kill performed in the last round.
But she remained vigilant and felt that the two daggers thrown by Xu Heng were definitely not aimless.
“Boom!”
She raised one hand to the sky, opening up a golden halo.
The flames like a water curtain actually flowed down from the outer ring of the halo, covering her whole body.
This is a close-up ability of Xiaoshu Festival, which can not only protect oneself, but also injure the enemy at close range.
“Hey, you’re quite alert!”
Suddenly, Xu Heng's voice came from the left.
The girl's face hardened, and she was about to shoot the Xiaoshu flame to the left.
However, there was a piercing sound from the right.
A sharp black light with a biting chill directly tore through the flame barrier.
The girl's expression changed and she turned around to look. Before she could react, she saw a big foot protruding from the flames that tore a gap.
“Bang!”
His fair and pretty face received a heavy kick.
The girl felt a sharp pain in the bridge of her nose, and a feeling of soreness and tearing spread throughout her face. Her whole body became lighter, as if she was flying upside down in the air.
The next second, a sharp chill passed through her throat, and the violent force was like an ice hand, tearing open her neck.
“Shua!”
With a white light.
The girl reappeared on the sidelines and subconsciously covered her throat with her hands, only to realize that she had just been killed in the competition venue.
Her scalp suddenly became numb, and her face was full of panic.
What exactly happened just now?
…
The audience once again burst into uproar at this scene.
Xu Heng has another Xu Triangle Kill!
It has been upgraded this time and actually throws two daggers, making it even more difficult for the opponent to defend against.
There are daggers on both sides. Which side should you guard against?
And this time there are only two daggers. What if the guy throws three or four daggers next time?
“After this trick spreads, it will surely cause many Xiaohan season masters to rush to learn and imitate it.” Director Zhang clicked his tongue.
“I’m afraid it’s not easy to learn. The accuracy is too difficult to control. Xu Heng was able to make the dagger penetrate the opponent’s throat twice in a row. This is really not something ordinary people can practice.”
One school leader shook his head and smiled, and couldn't help but sigh: "Xu's triangle killing might become a killing move that only he can perform."
“Oh, but that kid only cares about performance and has no energy at all. I’m afraid he won’t be able to win in the third round.” Another school leader was worried.
The third round is also the last game of the group stage. The opponent is the third-ranked school in the knockout round and the No. 1 seed in Group C—Dixuan University.
In terms of overall strength, Dixuan University is not as good as Tianxiang University.
Among the top ten famous schools in Scorpio Continent, Dixuan University has often ranked fourth in the freshman competition. Occasionally it has overtaken Dishu University and won third place, and it has even won second place.
Hence, the strength of this prestigious school cannot be underestimated.
Xu Heng and the others had used up the air-conditioning fluid in the first two rounds, so they would definitely be out of luck this round.
After all, in the first two rounds of group matches, Director Zhang and the others saw very clearly that when Dixuan University faced the other two schools, they did not use solar terms liquid at all, and their opponents were killed with just a few hits. Some even admit defeat directly.
This laxity has been so obvious that even if a complaint can be made to the Department of Education after the game, the most it will do is punish the two schools and there will be no chance of a rematch.
“That’s all, the second place in the group will be the second place, and you may not really be selected by Tiansi University. There is still hope for everything!” Director Zhang couldn’t help comforting him.
The expressions of several school leaders suddenly became even more ugly.
Teacher Chen has a crow’s mouth, so why not Director Zhang?
Perhaps everyone is a crow’s mouth!
They once saw an ancient book in some scenes in the simulated world, which recorded a law.
“Murphy’s Law”: If you are worried about something happening, it is more likely to happen.
