#135 - Chapter 135 Opening Game
"It seems that student Yang Fan is very nervous."
The host picked up the microphone to ease Yang Fan's embarrassment:
"Let's give him a round of applause for encouragement, shall we!"
"Okay!" × n
The audience below applauded enthusiastically.
Pa pa pa pa pa pa ~
"Let's interview the next student."
The big screen turned to Jin Jinjin's side, reflecting his slightly thin face.
"Student Jin, do you have any pre-battle declarations?"
Jin Jinjin had been thinking about what to say since Yang Fan was being interviewed, and now he finally came up with one:
"Heaven has endowed me with talents, which must be useful; Scatter gold, it will come back!"
As he spoke, he stretched out his fist towards the sky, cheering himself on.
The audience watching the excitement below suddenly laughed.
Qi Jing also laughed.
Mainly because he was wearing a vest and had long bangs, making this pose was indeed not very aesthetically pleasing, and coupled with his confident recitation of the wrong line of poetry, it was even funnier.
"Okay, it seems that student Jin Jinjin is very imposing, so who will be the winner of today's opening match? Let's wait and see!"
The host is indeed a host, professional!
Qi Jing glanced at the time, there were still two minutes until eight o'clock sharp.
How will this host pad for time?
"On this arena, every warrior carries dreams and bears honor, advancing bravely. Every drop of sweat you shed reflects your firm belief and unremitting efforts. Every challenge is a test of your will and a challenge to your strength.
Every punch, every dodge, demonstrates your courage and wisdom. You are not only warriors, but also artists, using your bodies to write your own battle poems. Don't be afraid of failure, because failure is the stepping stone to success. As long as you maintain a firm belief and move forward bravely, victory will eventually belong to you.
Arena battle day, warriors compete with heart. Sweat sprinkles the battlefield, courage wins over gold. Strive hard, honor belongs to the hero. Since we are here in the bright sky, why worry about returning in sorrow.
Let's start the countdown to the competition, ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one, start!"
As the host gave the order, Jin Jinjin immediately began to act.
He took out a palm-sized gold brick from his arms and threw it towards Yang Fan.
The two of them were forty meters apart. Logically speaking, a normal person would not be able to throw that far, but his ability was "Ruyi Gold", which could turn gold into any shape and control it remotely.
Although this ability cannot elementalize himself like "Metal Manipulation", and can only control gold, it requires very little Source Power.
The metal element is the most special element in the Element Division. Even if it is elementalized, it will still be subject to physical attacks, unless it is trained to directly become liquid metal.
But this requires a lot of Source Power, even a third-year senior cannot maintain liquid metalization for a minute.
Moreover, the harder the metal, the more Source Power is needed to change and move it.
But his "Ruyi Gold" is different. The word "Ruyi" reduces the Source Power consumption for him to control gold very, very low. He can even let the gold tightly wrap himself and walk for half an hour.
Similarly, manipulating gold, the "Metal Manipulation" ability consumes hundreds of times more than his, and is not as free as he is.
Yang Fan had also studied the enemy's tactics. He directly used his ability "Silk Control", turning the clothes on his body into a large net, blocking in front of him, wanting to block Jin Jinjin's gold brick.
But Jin Jinjin seemed to have anticipated this. He used his ability to instantly turn the flying gold brick into a gold cone, intending to pierce through his clothes and give him a chilling experience.
Yang Fan didn't expect that he could change the shape of the gold brick in such a short time, but now it was too late to dodge.
But he still had to dodge.
He quickly leaned to the left, fortunately only his right arm was grazed by the gold cone.
If there were no accidents, it should be broken.
Yang Fan continued to run forward. He didn't dare to stop, because he knew that the gold cone would return and hit him.
While running, he used his ability to directly control Jin Jinjin's clothes, tightening his neck while letting his hair cover his eyes.
This could prevent him from seeing himself and prevent the gold cone from continuing to track and attack.
When Yang Fan's ability "Silk Control" is at level one, he can control silkworms, and at level two, he has an extra strand of hair.
The previous competitions used the control of silkworm silk, and the ability to control hair strands was used as a backup to catch people off guard.
Jin Jinjin's eyes went dark, and then he felt a suffocating feeling on his neck.
He immediately thought that Yang Fan had used his ability.
He didn't expect that he could control his clothes from so far away.
When preparing for the battle, he guessed that Yang Fan's ability was "Control Clothes" or "Control Fabric", and even thought about going on stage without clothes.
But after thinking about it, he was the first to go on stage. He could lose the game, but he couldn't lose face.
So he gave up this "good" idea that made him tangled.
The witty him put on the vest with the least fabric to go on stage, which could preserve his decency while weakening his opponent's ability.
Without time to think, Jin Jinjin first softened another piece of gold on his body into liquid, drilled into it from the gap in the vest, covered his neck, and then hardened it to prevent the fabric from continuing to tighten.
He knew that cutting the fabric with gold scissors was useless, because even if it was rags, Yang Fan could control it.
Then he prepared to use the same method to pry open the "cloth" covering his eyes.
When he passed the gold liquid from bottom to top through the "cloth" covering his eyes, his scalp actually started to hurt.
He touched it, and it turned out to be his own hair!
He never expected that Yang Fan could even control his hair. He should have shaved his head.
While he was using a gold blade to cut his hair, Yang Fan came to his side, raised the glass knife in his hand and stabbed Jin Jinjin.
Because he didn't know if his opponent could control other metals, he specially bought a knife made of glass.
Jin Jinjin heard the footsteps and immediately wanted to dodge, but at some point a silk scarf had wrapped around his feet, causing him to stumble and fall to the ground, and the sharp gold blade also cut his scalp.
"Aww ~"
In fact, Yang Fan wanted to use silk threads to cut Jin Jinjin's throat, but he saw that Jin Jinjin had covered his throat with hard gold skin, so he temporarily changed his attack method.
Yang Fan seized the opportunity of Jin Jinjin's fall and stabbed his back again.
Although Jin Jinjin didn't see Yang Fan's movements, dodging was always the right thing to do.
He rolled over on the ground with his arms, just dodging this attack.
Just as Yang Fan wanted to continue attacking, a gold bullet instantly stopped in front of his eyes.
Looking closely, this area of his had been surrounded by gold bullets, but they were all suspended in the air, not continuing to move forward.
"The game is over!"
It turned out that Jin Jinjin recalled his gold cone when he was blind. Unexpectedly, Yang Fan happened to appear next to him, so he let the gold cone split into dozens of bullets and shoot towards him. Unexpectedly, the game ended like this.
"Thank you to the two students for bringing us a wonderful game, and thank you to our safety officer, Teacher Dongfang Meng."
The big screen turned to a high platform above the arena, and an intellectual beauty in a long dress waved to the camera.
She is one of the safety officers of Arena B. She was the one who stopped those bullets just now.
Then the camera turned to the field, and two medical personnel came over and healed their broken arms and cut scalps with a wave of their hands.
However, Jin Jinjin's hair was only half left, which was a bit unsightly.
The host's voice came:
"May I ask, as the winner of the first game, what does student Jin have to say?"
Jin Jinjin had just stood still, and his big face appeared on the screen.
"Um, hair can be cut, blood can flow, emmmmm, gold can be scattered, it will come back!"
