Chapter 589
Chapter 589: I couldn’t ask for more
At midnight today.
……
At 9:30, both sides entered the field to warm up.
The atmosphere in the National Stadium of Edo was getting more and more lively, and the People’s emotions were rising.
The first match that had ended an hour ago had touched the hearts of the world.
The final result was that the North Road mage God and the Queen of the Ice Kingdom both died in battle. For some ordinary people, the Star Warriors world Cup was more like a game, but for the Star Warriors who were fighting on the field, it was a life and death battle.
It wasn’t that no one had died in the world Cup. There had been deaths in every year, but most of those deaths had happened in the first few rounds. There had only been one death in the final round, and that had to be traced back to the 1990s.
The northern kingdom and the ice Snow Republic were also in a state of mourning. As for the final six … No, they should be called the top four now, and their ranking might be higher.
As for the final ranking of 7th to 11th place, there would not be any increase in the ranking. Although the Star Warriors of the North and Iceland had died, they should be tied for 5th place. This was because the worst result this round was sixth.
The contestant Jin Pingchang did not manage to enter the top ten in the end and was ranked 11th. Such a result really made hou Mingming, who was ranked 12th, extremely angry.
She was someone who could be killed with a slap, but now she was stepping on her head. Every time she saw the ranking list on the screen, she would clearly feel angry.
Even if they were separated by a person? Even if the 11th place had a similar number? It was the same kind of stomping, but at least it wasn’t as direct …
Of course, if one were not to look at the problem in such a narrow way, the death of the two world-class Star Warriors, the North and the glacier, was really a loss for the world.
Ever since human society had advanced to a certain level, it was difficult to start a world-level war. No one was willing to die together. However, small conflicts between countries continued, and some areas were not very peaceful.
However, this was only a war on the human level. Due to the opening of the dimensional space in this world, it led to the rampage of strange beasts and the surge of star power. The enemies of humans were not only their own kind, but also these terrifying and mysterious dimensional spaces and the creatures that were born behind them.
To this day, human society’s exploration of the upper dimensions was still very little, and they did not know the principles behind it at all.
Countless predecessors had gone to explore and search for the answer, but most of them had disappeared without a trace. Even those who returned empty-handed were few and far between.
But now, the question was, was the Earthlings hosting the Star Warriors world Cup just to show their strength to their own kind and to other countries and to pass on information?
What kind of creatures existed in the upper dimension? why were there so many dimensional spaces blooming on earth? were there higher level intelligent creatures doing and observing in the dark?
Was the Star Warriors world Cup held for a certain type of people to see? Or even … Was it possible that the people who promoted the Star Warriors world Cup were high-level intelligent creatures?
Jiang Xiao didn’t know any of this. He had only been here for two years and his level was still insufficient to access more information. He only wanted to do his best in the current competition. As for the future … Jiang Xiao had never been worried about anything.
Jiang Xiao believed that at the rate of his growth …
The future would come.
For Jiang Xiao, the World Cup was almost his biggest stage at this stage.
Jiang Xiao was rather certain that as long as he took one step at a time and did what he had to do at each stage well, he would only be able to gain more and more power.
At the thought of this, Jiang Xiao turned to look at his opponent, who was another formidable opponent on his way to the championship.
Saito Shinki, also known as Gu Xinzhi, was wearing a blue national team uniform. He had short black hair, a pair of eagle-like eyes, and an unusually sharp height of 1.88 meters. He should be considered outstanding in his country.
However, apart from nationality, this height was nothing in the scope of Star Warriors. There was no doubt that the magical star power was changing the human body.
One’s height and body length were all visible to the naked eye. Those who had gone through layers of selection and made it to the final round were all proud sons of heaven. Good physical conditions were almost the standard.
Jiang Xiao, who was still growing, was already 1.82 meters tall. However, he was the shortest contestant among the top four, even shorter than the flower of Lancy. Among the four of them, the one with the best physical condition was, of course, the big shield from the Republic of will.
Feeling Jiang Xiao’s gaze, Saito Shingo looked over too. He was expressionless and had a sharp look in his eyes, which reminded Jiang Xiao of second last.
Jiang Xiao had seen many outstanding Star Warriors, and he had only seen such a look in Gu Xinzhi’s eyes on second last.
Wu Yao, Han Jiangxue, and the others could also look fierce, but that so-called “fierce” was more about winning or losing.
Second last, on the other hand, did not care about winning or losing and simply started with ‘life and death’.
Jiang Xiao looked at Saito Shingo with a burning gaze, so … You are also a warrior, right? You’ve also participated in countless life-and-death battles, and even experienced war after war?
Jiang Xiao was unwilling to believe that a Star Warrior student could have such a look in his eyes. Jiang Xiao could tell what was tough on the outside but weak on the inside and what was the same on the inside.
No matter how high Saito Shingo stood, if he was not a student and did not have the corresponding experience, he would not have such a temperament.
Jiang Xiao had observed these things himself, but they were not reflected in the other party’s information.
Jiang Xiao licked his lips and felt a little excited.
If you’re a soldier who’s fought on the real battlefield, then today’s battle will be very, very interesting.
Saito Shingo was slightly stunned. Of course, he had met many opponents. Some of them would force themselves to glare back at him, some would remain silent and guard their minds, and some would Dodge and avoid direct eye contact.
When Shingo Saito saw Jiang Xiao’s expression, he was slightly shocked. He knew that Jiang Xiao was definitely not a lunatic. He wasn’t even a battle maniac. Hence, Jiang Xiao’s expression …
“Tutu! Toot!” The referee’s whistle sounded. At 9:55, the contestants from both sides entered the arena!
Jiang Xiao strode into the iron cage with his giant sword. No. 2 stood still on the west side of the field.
In Jiang Xiao’s vision, he could see nobuchi Saito in the opposite half of the field, and the audience behind him was a blue ocean.
Similarly, in the eyes of Shingo Saito, Jiang Xiao’s figure was even a little small. Behind Jiang Xiao was a deep red Sea that was connected to the sky, and a huge red cloth was rolling in the audience, making a huge scene.
The sharp look in Saito’s eyes suddenly changed. Looking at the red wave and listening to the familiar native language, Saito’s eyes dimmed, and he even looked a little lonely.
Jiang Xiao believed that he was a strong warrior who could make it to this point. At least, he wouldn’t show such emotions here. Only when one’s heart was truly touched would one be involuntary and unable to control themselves.
“Gu Xinzhi?” Jiang Xiao shouted in Chinese.
Saito Shingo pursed his lips and did not respond.
On the field, the support teams of both sides were shouting loudly, and their slogans were even in unison. It was impossible to hear what the two people on the field were saying.
This led to a special situation. The two people on the field could almost hear each other’s words clearly, and through the micro-microphone, the audience in front of the TV and computer could also hear the “trash talk” between the two.
“Do you understand?” Jiang Xiao continued in Chinese.
Shingo Saito nodded.
“Have you been back?” Jiang Xiao asked.
Shingo Saito hesitated for a moment, then shook his head.
Jiang Xiao grinned and said,”I heard from your junior high school classmates that you’re a cheerful person. Why? are you nervous?” You’ve experienced a real war, so how can you be nervous about such a small scene?”
Jiang Xiao finally revealed his true colors. He was just asking if Saito Shingo had really experienced war.
If the answer was ‘yes’, then this battle would be very comfortable.
Holding the knife in his right hand, Shingo Saito held it horizontally in front of his eyes. He gently stroked it with his left hand and lowered his head without saying a word.
For a 15 or 16-year-old child, leaving the hometown they grew up in, leaving their friends and family, and suddenly entering a foreign country, there would be a language barrier, living habits, and other problems. It would indeed have a huge impact on a person’s growth.
As for whether it was good or bad, that was another question.
Since he was already standing there, Jiang Xiao would definitely not be stingy with using any means to attack his enemy.
Jiang Xiao said,”I’ve seen your social media. There are photos of you and your companions sneaking into Jiangcheng University and taking photos on cherry blossom Avenue.” It’s very romantic under the cherry blossom tree, isn’t it?”
Shinki Saito frowned slightly and did not look up. Instead, he raised his eyes and looked at Jiang Xiao. A biting cold aura was emitted, as if it had already locked onto its prey.
Jiang Xiao remained unmoved and asked with a smile,””Is she alright? Is there any contact?”
“Shut up,” said Shingo Saito.
“Oh?” Jiang Xiao grinned and said,”you can talk?”
Holding a sword in one hand, nobuchi Saito pointed it at Jiang Xiao and said,””I thought we could stop here.”
“Hehe.” Jiang Xiao smiled disdainfully and said,”stop fooling around.”
With his words and his actions in the past, Saito Shingo proved this point: “Just like how I treated Fan Ren of the great Tibetan star martial arts university, just like how I treated your schoolmate, Mingming.”
Jiang Xiao nodded before shaking his head and saying,””Don’t stop there. There are only two results for me in this battle. ”
Shingo Saito looked at Jiang Xiao quietly.
Jiang Xiao rubbed the back of his head and said jokingly,””You either win or die.”
Shingo Saito raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at the red ocean behind Jiang Xiao.
He was silent for a while, then he held the blade in front of him with both hands and said in a deep voice,””As you wish.”
Jiang Xiao took a lunge and dragged the giant sword to the right of his body.””I can’t ask for more.”
“Tutu! Let the match begin!”
Whoosh …
A burst of cherry blossoms danced in the air.
呯!
A green light flashed.
