Natalie looked angrily at Han Ming's pretended pitiful appearance, and then looked at the stunned audience in the audience.
She finally understood something in her heart.
"Referee, I abstain."
After Natalie finished speaking feebly, she jumped off the ring and left the place lonely under the gaze of many people.
She knew in her heart that Han Ming's strength was definitely much higher than hers, so he could play with her and applaud her. If she continued to entangle with her, she would only make more fools of herself, and in the end she would definitely not
Win the game.
After the referee finally announced that Han Ming had won, everyone in the audience left the scene speechless.
This game was the weirdest one they had ever seen.
Natalie lost her mind inexplicably and surrendered inexplicably, while Han Ming won inexplicably.
After the game, Han Ming put on clean and tidy clothes and returned to his residence with a smile on his face.
That night.
Han Ming was sitting alone in his room, holding a cigarette between his two fingers and blowing out a burst of white smoke.
Under the smoke, Han Ming looked sad.
Squeak.
The door was gently pushed open.
Kuro stood quietly at the door, looking at Han Ming.
"Aren't you already with someone else? Why are you here?"
Seeing Kuro, Han Ming felt agitated, but he tried his best to control his mood and asked calmly.
Kuro sighed softly: "I just drank with them and didn't do anything else."
Seeing Han Ming lowering his head and smoking without replying, Kuro hesitated and said, "I'm sorry, I was impulsive that day. I promise you that I will never kill anyone again in the future."
Han Ming raised his head, stared into Kuro's eyes, and asked seriously: "Is this true?"
Qrow nodded slightly.
"Okay, you rest, I'm going back to the room."
Kuro smiled slightly and left Han Ming's room.
Why did I become like this? I have killed so many people before, and I have never regretted it. This time I only killed one person, but I already feel some regret and inexplicable pain in my heart.
Kuro had very complicated feelings in her heart, and she didn't know what was going on with her mood.
When Han Ming left her, when she stood in the stands with other men and looked at Han Ming's eyes, her heart ached very much.
After this incident, the relationship between the two seems not as pure as before, nor is it like before that they stick together no matter where they go.
Han Ming had a vague feeling that there seemed to be some cracks in the relationship between the two.
I don't know when these cracks will heal.
A few days later, the knockout rounds ended.
Thirty-two strong people were born.
The fifty small arenas in the Three Kingdoms League were evacuated by the staff and replaced with a huge circular arena.
This day is the celebration ceremony for the birth of the thirty-two strong men.
Han Ming and thirty-one other contestants stood on the huge stage, receiving blessings from audiences around the world and the organizers.
Kuro stood in the stands and stared at Han Ming quietly. In her eyes, Han Ming was the only one left in her world.
When Han Ming smiled, she felt happy; when Han Ming frowned, she felt pain in her heart.
The seed player of the Rhine Empire, the fourth-level and first-level wood-type fighting spirit Sasol, came to Han Ming with a smile.
"Congratulations on successfully advancing to the top 32. We may face each other. When the time comes, I hope you can give your best."
Han Ming also smiled and stretched out his hand to hold it with Sasol.
"Thank you. If you really have this opportunity, I hope you can fight it with all your strength."
The two looked at each other and smiled.
"Hello, I am Shang Que, a player from the Monte Empire. I have long heard that you have reached the fourth level at a young age. I have always wanted to get to know you."
Shang Que and Huang Ying came to Shasol.
Sasol also smiled and said politely: "You are not bad at all. As a magician, I admire you for being able to reach the level of a third-level magician at such a young age."
Huang Ying smiled and said: "Sasol, tonight we, the Monte Empire, will be hosting a cocktail reception for the top thirty-two players. I hope you can appreciate it tonight."
Sasol smiled and nodded.
From beginning to end, neither Shang Que nor Huang Ying glanced at Han Ming, and Han Ming was not invited to the so-called thirty-two strong cocktail party.
"It's very lively here, let me introduce myself." A girl with a pure appearance, like a hibiscus emerging from the water, smiled and came to a few people. Then, there were another man and a woman.
Huang Ying's eyes suddenly lit up when he saw this innocent beauty with a clean face and no makeup on. He said with a smile: "Jasmine, a third-level, first-level wood magician from the Kabu Empire."
Huang Ying then looked at another woman with indifferent eyes, who stared at Han Ming with hatred as soon as she appeared, and said: "Zhenluo, the second-level fifth-level fire magician of the Kabu Empire. Jasmine's sister.
"
"I will introduce this friend."
Shangque interrupted Huang Ying with a smile, looked at the man with his eyes closed, and said: "Gamoli, the third-level and fifth-level water-type war madman of the Kabu Empire."
"Hello, my name is Shang Que."
"Hello, my name is Huang Ying."
The two of them shook hands with the three people in front of them.
The woman named Jasmine saw her sister staring at Han Ming with a look of bitterness and hatred, and then she smiled meaningfully, stretched out her hand towards Han Ming, and said: "You should be Han Ming. What happened before, I
I have already heard what Gamoli said. Maybe you have some misunderstandings with my sister, so I would like to apologize to you on behalf of my sister."
"sister!"
This girl was the one Han Ming had taught him in the tavern, and she was looking at her sister angrily.
"Zhenluo, apologize to Mr. Han."
Jasmine smiled lightly, but there was an unquestionable aura in her eyes.
"Who the hell is he? Why should he ask me to apologize to him? When he wants to apologize, he apologizes to me, and he even boasts that he wants to teach me a lesson on behalf of the Monte Empire!"
Zhenluo stomped her feet angrily, turned around and walked away, leaving the group on the spot.
Jasmine smiled apologetically at Han Ming and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Han. My sister has been spoiled by me since she was a child and is not polite. Please don't mind."
Han Ming smiled and shook his head.
Huang Ying walked around Han Ming carelessly and said sarcastically: "Hey, represent the Monte Empire? Teach others a lesson? Haha, awesome, awesome, eh!? Why don't I know when you can represent the Monte Empire?
?”
Jasmine had done a detailed investigation on these three people from the Monte Empire before, and she knew a little bit about the feud between Han Ming and Huang Ying. She looked at Han Ming with a smile.
Han Ming chuckled and said: "Huang Ying, I hope we can meet in the top 32. Don't be defeated easily."
Huang Ying seemed to have heard some great joke. He looked at Shang Que, then at the others, and burst into laughter.
"Only you? This waste? To be honest, who are you? Why don't I know you?"
Han Ming didn't want to quarrel with him. In Han Ming's opinion, attacking others verbally was something that only women would do. Han Ming didn't bother to do it and didn't bother to pay attention to him.
"Everyone, let's talk first. I don't need to keep you company if I have something to do."
Han Ming turned around and left, and met Phil who was looking at him with a complicated expression on the way.
Han Ming smiled and nodded to Phil, passing by him.
Huang Ying looked at Han Ming's leaving figure and sneered.
Shang Que chuckled and said: "Everyone, I hope you can come to our thirty-two top cocktail party tonight. Everyone will definitely leave satisfied."
Several people present laughed politely.
Shasol looked thoughtfully at the place where Han Ming left, then looked at Shang Que and Huang Ying, and smiled.
That night, Han Ming sat quietly in his room, running the energy sockets in his body, slowly providing energy to his core. The core of the Hydra Emperor next to him stayed quietly, constantly absorbing
With the energy transmitted from Han Ming's core.
"When you reach the second and fifth levels, it is indeed very difficult to go further. The stronger you are, the slower your advancement will be, and the greater the amount of magic energy required."
Han Ming closed his eyes and thought in his heart.
"Judging from the fact that I am three levels higher than others at each level, my second level and fifth level strength should be barely equivalent to the level of a third level and first level magician. The lower the strength level, the higher the strength of each level.
The energy contained will be greater, which is incomparable to the energy contained in the previous steps."
Han Ming did not go to the so-called thirty-two strong celebration banquet. They were not invited, and he was too lazy to go.
Inside the city of Fira.
Several people who looked like magicians took advantage of the night and hurriedly walked through the streets and alleys.
The faces of several people were very heavy, and it looked like something big was about to happen.
"who!?"
The leading magician paused and looked at the figure standing in the shadow in the distance with a gloomy face.
The man walked out of the shadow with a chuckle and said: "You guys are in a hurry, where are you going?"
"Step aside!"
The leading magician took a step back. The person in front of him gave him an unfathomable feeling. He was afraid that this person had bad intentions.
The man smiled slightly and said: "Are you guys going to the Magic Guild to inform you? I, the Monte Empire, will never let you go back alive."
"People from the Monte Empire!?"
The leading magician's face froze and he shouted: "Disperse!"
After receiving the order, several magicians dispersed and fled in several different directions.
"Everyone will stay today."
The man sneered and moved quickly.
After a while, several magicians lay motionless at the man's feet, obviously dead.
He raised his head and looked at the last magician who was escaping far away, with a faint smile on his lips.
Magic Guild.
"President! The Monte Empire sent experts to kill all our colleagues who went to the palace to negotiate, leaving me alone to escape. It seems that the Monte Empire is going to attack our Magic Guild this time!"
At the same time, another place in Phila City.
A masked man in black stood quietly in the alley, with a small fireball slowly floating up and down in his hand.
And at his feet, there were also several dead people lying.
In the distance, there was also the last survivor who fled towards the palace of Fira City in embarrassment.
Inside the Royal Palace of Phila City.
"Mr. Myron, the man we sent to the Magic Guild was robbed and killed by the magicians from the Magic Guild!"
When Myron heard this, he slapped the armrest of the stool in shock and stood up suddenly.
"Have you seen clearly? They are indeed from the Magic Guild?"
The man gasped and said in fear: "You see clearly! He is definitely a member of the Magic Guild, and his strength is at least around the third and fifth levels!"
Myron thought for a long time, sighed deeply, and slowly fell down on the chair.
"It seems that all of us have been plotted against. Things are really not going to end well this time. I don't know which force is behind this. I must find them out!" dd
