Chapter 1486 - 1486 Defeating a genius (1)
Just as Lei Xiaotian stopped in his tracks, the icicle stopped right in front of him. Lei Xiaotian could feel the cold air on the icicle. It was a combination of Fire and Ice. This was a classic combination of Fire and Ice.
Lei Xiaotian knew that he had lost. He never thought that Zhao Hai would still be able to control the fire Dragon under such circumstances. Although he did not see how the fire Dragon had managed to get behind him, he was sure that it had only managed to get behind him after destroying his Ice Dragon. This meant that Zhao Hai had been controlling the fire Dragon all this time. He was multitasking!
Lei Xiaotian’s guess was not wrong. Zhao Hai was multitasking. In fact, he could do more than that. However, it was enough to deal with Lei Xiaotian.
When Lei Xiaotian gave up on controlling the Ice Dragon, Zhao Hai did not give up on controlling the fire Dragon. Instead, he commanded the fire Dragon to destroy the Ice Dragon. Then, he commanded the fire Dragon to run behind Lei Xiaotian. At that time, Lei Xiaotian was preparing his great magic, so he did not pay attention to the fire Dragon. Thus, the fire Dragon successfully hid behind Lei Xiaotian and became a surprise attack.
Under such circumstances, even if Lei Xiaotian did not admit defeat, Zhao Hai would still win. Hence, with a wave of his hand, Zhao Hai kept away the icicle and fire Dragon. At this moment, the judge had also declared Zhao Hai’s victory.
Lei Xiaotian looked at Zhao Hai in disbelief. He had never thought that he would lose to Zhao Hai. To be honest, he did not think highly of Zhao Hai. However, it did not mean that he was looking down on Zhao Hai. In fact, he was jealous of Zhao Hai.
All along, Lei Xiaotian had been regarded as a genius. In fact, he was regarded as the most talented one. However, when compared to Zhao Hai, he seemed to be lacking. In less than a year’s time after his Ascension, he had already become a 4th-tier magic caster. On the other hand, Lei Xiaotian had only achieved this in three years.
It was precisely because of this jealousy that he had not been able to see Zhao Hai smoothly, so he had put on an arrogant look. Half of it was because that was his personality, and the other half was because he wanted to embarrass Zhao Hai. He wanted to defeat Zhao Hai in front of everyone and prove that he was the most talented one.
Although he had watched Zhao Hai’s matches before, he never thought that Zhao Hai could beat him. But now, Zhao Hai had really beaten him, and he had won so easily. From the start of the match until now, it had only been twenty minutes.
Twenty minutes was considered a short time even in the competition of the top twenty-five, let alone the battle for the top four. In the battle of the top four, they had been defeated in twenty minutes. Lei Xiaotian felt as if the sky had collapsed.
Zhao Hai noticed Lei Xiaotian’s reaction, but he was not in the mood to comfort him. He was not related to Lei Xiaotian in any way, so there was no need for him to be a good person. Hence, after the judge announced the result, Zhao Hai left the ring.
The moment he returned to Xiong Li’s side, Xiong Li immediately gave Zhao Hai a bear hug and laughed, ” “Good boy, well done. This is the shortest semi-finals I’ve ever seen. Hahahaha.”
&Quot; yeah, I didn’t expect it to be over in such a short time, ” Dongfang Yu said with a smile. &Quot; well done, little hai. &Quot;
&Quot; it’s nothing. Maybe Lei Xiaotian has underestimated him. I’m not going to do anything today. But boss Xiong, you’re going to fight Lei Xiaotian soon. I haven’t tested his skills yet, so you’d better be careful. &Quot; Zhao Hai smiled.
“Don’t worry, I’ll definitely win this match.” Xiong Li smiled.
Dongfang Yu and the others also laughed. They did not leave the arena because there would be a competition later. This competition would be to fight for the third and fourth place, Xiong Li against Lei Xiaotian. There would be a half an hour break in between. The battle for the first and second place would be held tomorrow.
Half an hour’s time passed by very quickly. Xiong Li had also entered the ring, and not long after, Lei Xiaotian had also entered the ring. However, it was very obvious that this time, Lei Xiaotian did not come up late on purpose. He had not yet recovered from the blow just now, and was a little out of sorts.
With the sound of a bell, the battle between Xiong Li and Lei Xiaotian began. Lei Xiaotian’s performance was a little off-standard, and his strength was not even at the sixth level of his peak, which allowed Xiong Li to win the competition easily.
To be honest, Lei Xiaotian’s level was not just this. It was only when he was defeated by Zhao Hai that his confidence was severely affected, which caused him to perform abnormally. Otherwise, even if Xiong Li could win, it would have been a tough battle. After all, Lei Xiaotian was a dual-element magician.
Following the conclusion of Xiong Li and Lei Xiaotian’s match, the entire preliminaries were nearing their end. Tomorrow would be the final match of the preliminaries, with Zhao Hai against Stryp. This was considered by everyone to be the biggest Dark Horse in the field of mecha arrays. It was really hard to say who would have the last laugh in the battle against the number one rookie.
In the eyes of the people from the array world, although Zhao Hai’s performance was not bad, it would still take some time for him to surpass strep. Although Zhao Hai’s battles against his opponents were very easy and he did not use any tools, it was the same for strep. He did not use any tools and when he defeated his enemies, it was also very easy. Other than the last battle with Xiong Li, which he had to use some strength, the rest of the time ... He was still very relaxed.
Now that the two of them had met, it would definitely be a fierce battle. However, there were more people supporting Stryp than Zhao Hai.
Zhao Hai could tell that Stryp’s attack was not ordinary, and so could the others. The people of the array world should not be treated as fools. They were not stupid at all. Anyone who knew the game could tell that Stryp’s attack was different from the others. However, everyone had the same thought as Zhao Hai. They thought that Stryp had some kind of fortuitous encounter to obtain such strength.
The next day, because it was the last and most important match, there were even more people in the arena. Even some of the prominent figures from the major families had come. Cadello and debar were no exception. In addition to the two, Luke and Margaret were also present. They all had smiles on their faces and didn’t look worried at all.
In fact, they were already very satisfied with Zhao Hai’s current results. Even if Zhao Hai lost this time, they would be content. After all, Zhao Hai’s results this time were the best the Ashley family had achieved in decades.
Such an achievement was enough to bring more benefits to the Ashley family. They could make use of what Zhao Hai had won to develop the family and make new allies. In addition, they had also established relations with the fire god temple, the Wu family, and the Yan family. They had also gotten rid of the great enemy, the Zhang family. It could be said to be a great harvest.
Therefore, cadeyo and the others were in a very good mood. They smiled at everyone they saw and greeted those they were familiar with. Those people also smiled and greeted them. Even those who weren’t familiar with them would exchange a few words with them.
The people in the field of arrays were realistic. If the Ashley family achieved good results, they would be able to get more benefits. With the foundation of the Ashley family, they could completely develop with these things and become a more powerful force. At this time, it was very important to have a good relationship with the Ashley family.
Time passed by slowly, and soon, it was nine O ‘clock. The bell in the arena rang, and all the people who were walking around stopped. They found a place to sit down, while Zhao Hai was still sitting in the player area. The official match was scheduled for ten O’ clock, so there was still an hour left. This time was for him and Stryp to prepare. However, no one in the arena would be sitting around doing nothing. There would be some performances in the arena.
It was Zhao Hai’s first time seeing the artistic performances of the realm of arrays. The artistic performances here were very unique. There were dance performances, singing performances, and some performances similar to stage plays. All the dancers had learned martial arts. The dance movements were designed to be very difficult but very beautiful. In addition, some mages released some non-offensive but very gorgeous magic as the background. It was very good to watch.
Zhao Hai didn’t need to prepare anything. In this one hour, he just stood there and watched the performance. He didn’t look nervous at all. Meanwhile, Stryp’s reaction was similar to Zhao Hai’s. Neither of them showed any signs of nervousness, which was very strange to the others.
Soon, the bell in the arena rang again, and the performances in the ring stopped. Zhao Hai looked at the time. There were about ten minutes left before the official match. Zhao Hai couldn’t help but look at strep, who was sitting there calmly and talking to the people around him. He didn’t look nervous at all.
Zhao Hai couldn’t help but smile. He understood why Stryp wasn’t nervous. The special Qi-Jin in his attack had given Stryp absolute confidence. He believed that no one in the wind rank was his match. Even if Zhao Hai’s previous performance had been very strong, Stryp didn’t think that he would lose.
Zhao Hai couldn’t help but laugh in his heart. Even if he beat Stryp to death, he would never have thought that he had already condensed gang Qi into his body. Stryp had an unknown Qi-Jin, while Zhao Hai had gang Qi. Zhao Hai believed that his gang Qi was only stronger than Stryp’s unknown Qi-Jin.
The reason why Zhao Hai was so confident was because he had come up with this conclusion after much analysis. He had asked Xiong Li about how he felt when he fought Stryp, and after analyzing the space, he came to this conclusion.
After the space’s analysis, it concluded that the unknown Qi-Jin used by Stryp was very likely to be a kind of Qi-Jin similar to evil Qi, but its attack power was not as strong as evil Qi. It could only increase the damage to a certain extent, but not by a large amount. It was still much weaker than gang Qi or evil Qi.
It was because of this conclusion that Zhao Hai was relieved. He didn’t want to reveal too much of his strength. It wouldn’t be worth it if he revealed too many of his trump cards just to defeat Stryp.
