When the winner or loser was shown on the light screen, the audience burst into unprecedented applause, which lasted for a long time.
Before the start, almost all the applause and cheers were for Angel, but now they were for the two players on the field. For the players' efforts, and for the catharsis of my inner longing after watching a hearty game.
Even though the competition has ended, the audience's discussion and shouting have never stopped. At this time, the busiest thing is not the audience, but the judges who are discussing the results and revising the rankings.
Sabo originally wanted Angel to come and revise it, but Angel did not answer and looked to the other side.
Sabo followed Angel's gaze and saw that the black code on the ring slowly became smaller from the image of a giantess, and finally became the size of an ordinary person. However, his appearance was still that of the prison god. It was a pity.
The objects held by both hands were damaged.
Heidian put away the broken sword and scales, and then walked step by step to the unconscious Sarum.
He picked him up, stepped on his toes, and flew to the judging table.
Heidian came to Angel, half-knelt on the ground, and handed Salum, who was covered in blood, to Angel: "My little master, please leave it to Master Pat."
Angel helped Sailum to his side and looked at Heidian.
"I may fall into sleep next, and I don't know when I will wake up." After Heidian finished speaking, he looked at Salum quietly, as if remembering his appearance. After a while, Heidian continued.
Said: "When the master wakes up, please tell Master Pat on my behalf, thank you for his trust in me, and... I will definitely come back."
Angel took a deep look at Heidian and nodded: "Okay."
After receiving Angel's confirmation, Heidian breathed a sigh of relief, with a bright smile on his face: "Thank you."
As soon as he finished speaking, Heidian's whole body began to become blurry, like an old photo that had been soaked in water. The vivid colors were gradually diluted, turning into basic black and white tones, and finally turned into countless tiny particles, integrated into the game.
The "Dark Prison Code" in Lum's arms disappeared.
On the competition field in the distance, Yuli did not retreat to the backstage of the contestants, but stood quietly on the spot, looking at Heidian's disappearing figure, as if she had something to say, but in the end, only a slight sound was left in the wind.
sigh.
In fact, Yuli could feel that Heidian could use other methods to deal with her after she was trapped in the dark cage.
Whether it was a slash with a long sword or other punishments, Yuli could be killed instantly.
But Heidian did not do this. Instead, through various complicated and meaningless trials, she faced the past that she had always wanted to escape.
After experiencing the most humble darkness, I found the hope of light.
She didn't know whether Heidian did it accidentally or intentionally. But no matter what, Yuri accepted his kindness. So, when the light broke away from her body and the final moment decided the outcome, Yuli could actually do it.
Killing Sarum, she didn't do it.
Yuli took one last look at Sarum next to Wizard Pat, then lightly covered the light in her chest and stepped into the darkness again.
Behind the light is darkness, and there are shadows lurking in the depths of hope. Facing it is only the first step, how to formalize it is what Yuri has to do now.
…
Because Salum's injury was serious and in urgent need of treatment, Angel declined Sabo's invitation and did not participate in the ranking discussion.
Anyway, no matter what the ranking is, after losing this game, Salum's journey to the Rising Stars Tournament is basically over.
Angel said goodbye to Sabo and took Salum to the clinic. Before leaving, Angel glanced at the auditorium.
Nausicaa and the others were looking at him with eager eyes.
Angel sent a message to them, telling them not to worry, and then looked away.
However, after Angel looked away, he suddenly felt a somewhat resentful look looking at him from the other side. The resentment was not actual resentment, but an emotion similar to complaining.
Angel glanced back subconsciously.
He found that the person looking at him was a young man wearing an antler hat. He was looking at Angel with a sad expression. But when Angel looked over, he immediately put away his expression and stood up excitedly.
He waved his hands while jumping, as if he was afraid that Angel wouldn't be able to see him.
Angel recalled it. He seemed to have never seen this young man before. How could he be so sad and excited at the same time?
Perhaps an admirer with a rich inner world?
Angel thought of this and didn't care. He nodded slightly to him and turned away.
After a while, Angel took Salum for treatment. With the treatment equipment equipped in the infinite battle tower, most of Salum's body quickly recovered. However, if you want to recover as before, you must at least cultivate yourself.
Ten days and a half month.
Ten days and a half later, the Rising Stars Tournament ended. So as Angel said, this game should be Salum's last Rising Stars Tournament. Although he lost, in Angel's opinion,
But it was a relatively perfect ending.
Moreover, when Kuronori was halfway through the fight, he knew that this was Salum's last game. Kuronori also knew that Salum didn't care about the outcome of the new star game. So everything Kuronori did to Yuli later
, it’s more like giving a favor to Sarum, rather than competing with Yuri to win or lose.
On weekdays, Heidian and Salum feel like they are at odds with each other, but in fact, they are both soft and caring about each other in their hearts.
After coming out of the consultation room, Angel saw Nausicaa and her brother Leon waiting outside.
"Xi Liu fell asleep again. Shan will take her back to Fang Ling Pavilion first. We will wait here." Nausicaa said: "Is Selum okay?"
"Heidian, like Salem, is currently in a deep sleep and should wake up after a while." In fact, Angel couldn't guarantee whether Heidian would wake up. When Salem chose to make this move,
, it is unknown whether Black Code has evolved successfully or completely dissipated. But since Black Code vowed that he would come back, Angel also chose to believe him.
Leon and Nausicaa finally breathed a sigh of relief when they heard that everyone was fine.
Since there was no one else competing today, they took Salum and prepared to go back to Fangling Hall first.
On the way, Nausicaa also asked about the transformation of the Black Code into the "God of Prison Code" during the game. Angel just smiled and said that this was Sarum's secret killing move, but he did not tell the specific details.
.
It's not that Angel deliberately concealed it, it's just because this is Salum's matter, and even if it is said, he shouldn't be the one to say it.
While chatting, they talked about other competitions.
Among them, the game they talked about the most was the "No. 1 vs. Shining Star" game.
This game started at the same time as Sarum's game against Yuri. After Sarum's game, Nausicaa went to ask about the result of the game.
Angel took out his communicator and looked at the internal rankings: "These two people... don't seem to be the potential seeds that are being watched."
No. 1 is a lucky bloodline apprentice. He has encountered ordinary opponents and has accumulated four consecutive victories. The fifth game is today against this shining star.
A shining new star, with relatively high internal evaluations, it is speculated that he is a potential player similar to Yuri, a legacy player.
But that's just speculation.
So Angel is a little curious, why are they talking about this game?
"Because of No. 1." Leon replied: "During the time when you went to Castle Black, No. 1 actually came to Fanling Pavilion often and taught me a lot of fighting skills."
Angel was stunned for a moment: "Who is this No. 1?"
"Reynolds," Nausicaa said, "You may not know him, but he is an extraordinary person I met on the beach in Shampoo during my travels. He is..."
Nausicaa seemed to be thinking about her words, and then she said after a while: "Do you know about John's counterattack?"
"I know." Angel's expression was a little surprised. He had just talked about "John's Counterattack" with Sabo not long ago, but he didn't expect to hear it from Nausicaa again in a short period of time.
"Reynolds is like John, a passionate young man with a lucky aura."
In fact, Reynolds' strength is worse than Nausicaa's, but he is so lucky. All the opponents he encounters are weaker than him. Even those who are slightly stronger than him, as long as he gets his blood in his head, he will have a chance.
Turn defeat into victory.
After listening to Nausicaa's words, Angel had already marked Reynolds as "the passionate male protagonist in the novel".
But at this time, Lyon said: "It is a pity that this time he met Shining Star, but he did not counterattack. We just saw the result of the game, he lost to Shining Star, it seems that his good luck ends here
That’s it.”
Angel: "Sometimes, losing does not mean bad luck."
"Ah? Why?" Leon looked at Angel in confusion.
"In a field that does not involve life and death interests, if the price of victory is to waste ten years of practice, or if the source of magic is damaged and stops here, would you rather win or lose?"
Leon: "Of course I'm admitting defeat, but this is just an extreme example, right?"
Just as Leon finished speaking, Angel's communicator received a message about the latest battle table.
Angel handed the communicator to Leon: "You might as well take a look at their next opponent."
Leon took the communicator and saw a battle message at a glance.
"Number 1 vs. Book of Sage"
"Shining Nova vs Children of the Ocean"
The Book of Sages is none other than Salum, who is currently being carried on Leon's back. Judging from Salum's condition, he will definitely not be able to play in the next game.
And Shining Star’s opponent, Son of the Ocean.
This is currently the person with the highest claim to win the Rising Star Competition, Jetbo.
Comparing the two, Leon suddenly understood something and silently returned the communicator to Angel: "I understand now. It seems that he really has the aura of "John's Counterattack"..."
