I'm playing Honkai Impact 3

Page 523

—Their ethereal spirits also fought each other for three hours.

In the audience, some people were so full of energy that their faces turned blue, their legs were tightly clenched together, but they remained glued to their seats, unwilling to even go to the toilet.

Finally, hampered by Seele's Path of Balance, the game ended in a draw, with both sides' ethereal spirits collapsing simultaneously and their physical bodies sitting on the ground, panting heavily from exhaustion.

then……

"I am the traveler from Teyvat, the Galactic Stickman."

Xing stood in the arena, holding a trash can, hands on his hips, pointing at the entire arena and the interstellar cameras that were still broadcasting the show.

"I'm not targeting anyone in particular..."

Xing looked charmingly innocent: "I meant everyone here—"

With a powerful wave of her small hand, she drew a large circle that encompassed the contestants, the audience, and even everyone watching the live stream across the entire galaxy.

"It's all rubbish!"

"..." Toppa covered his face.

"..." March 7th facepalmed.

"..." The little duck's mouth twitched.

However, even though Xing was so arrogant and provocative, the contestant in this match, a renowned Elite-level trainer from the Jin Jialun Star Region, still shouted out those three words with unwavering resolve.

I abstain!

Before he finished speaking, without turning his head, he moved as nimbly as a twenty-year-old and jumped off the repaired dueling arena.

No one would dare fight these cheaters!

The Heavenly King roared wildly in his heart.

Under normal circumstances, even if he knew he was going to lose, as a proud master trainer, he would definitely go on stage to exchange a few moves, even if he lost, he would lose with style.

However, the concentration of ether in Yalilo has not yet decreased to a normal level, and the etheric spirit can still cause harm to the real world.

Playing cards with equally matched opponents is fine; at most, you'll suffer some minor injuries.

How can we fight against these overpowered guys who pull out fifty-meter giants of light and demonic mechs right off the bat?

That's fucking dangerous!

That's just plain stupid!

I'm outta here, survival is the priority!

What's a Heavenly King title compared to my life!

Upon hearing that his opponent had forfeited, Xing's expression seamlessly switched from a 'hehe' to a 'no hehe'.

No?

She went out of her way to provoke her opponents by making sweeping generalizations, so why is no one fighting her?

Qiong and Giovanni put on a big show during their duel, so when is it her turn to have some fun?

It's understandable that Toppa, who had fought once before at the Black Tower Space Station and knew the opponent's strength, didn't even participate. How come he surrendered so easily to these new opponents?!

There wasn't even a struggle!

What's the most frustrating thing about playing games?

Is it like parachuting 30 times in half an hour in PUBG?

Is it fate? My blood pressure spiked after being stuck in the ghostly Big-Headed Doll for three hours?

Did the food delivery workers overfeed Tiger Vanguard to death?

No, none of them!

The most frustrating thing is—

When Malou puts on the Monkey King template, his golden cudgel is fully charged with four beans, ready to rampage through Heaven and Hell several times over, enjoying the unparalleled pleasure of mowing down enemies...

All bosses surrender on the spot when they see you, without even giving you a chance to show your health bar!

When you find five airdrops in PUBG, fully armed from head to toe, and possess a limited-edition character with 100000 health and 100 attack, ready to transform into the Grim Reaper and wreak havoc on the battlefield...

I discovered that all the enemies on the entire island have quit the game!

"This is absolutely outrageous!"

Xing hugged her beloved trash can, her little mouth pouting, her shoulders drooping slightly, looking pitiful and aggrieved, as if she was about to drop her little pearls at any moment.

"I can't do anything."

Her tone was extremely heavy.

"Click click click~!"

Making no attempt to hide her schadenfreude and mockery, Qiong, who had just returned from the dueling arena without a fight, landed in front of Xing with a frog leap and laughed wildly:

"I've always wanted to see that expression on your face, that jealous look on your face!"

Without any hesitation, he reached out his devilish claws and pinched Xing's incredibly soft and tender face, kneading it like a fine glutinous rice ball.

"Isn't it awesome? Isn't it awesome? Heaven-rank combat skills, so refreshing!"

"Get out of here!"

A grief-stricken scream burst from her distorted face as Xing clenched her teeth and crunched over the trash can.

No!

Taking a step back only makes me angrier!

Xing opened her mouth and lunged at the little one.

Haha Rabbit and Silver Wolf received similar treatment.

But some clever players, remembering their previously destroyed ace mechs, started to get creative.

"An opportunity! A once-in-a-lifetime chance!"

"Their top combat strength has been wiped out! Now is their weakest moment!"

"That's right! Their decks are severely damaged, and it will take time to repair them!"

"Take advantage of this time difference and go up to challenge them! If we can defeat just one of them, we'll be able to brag about it when we get back!"

Does Faker know?

I solo-killed him in the final moment of the S-series tournament back in the day!

Just imagining that scene is enough to get their blood pumping!

Not to be missed!

Several skilled players refused to admit defeat and, filled with enthusiasm for finding a bargain and dreams of making a name for themselves, stepped onto the dueling arena.

Then, when they saw the intact, brand-new-looking Havoc Rabbit Armed Mechanical Rabbit Legion and Prometheus Mechanical Wolf Squad, the excitement on their faces instantly froze and shattered, turning into the same deathly pale and blank expression.

Haitu picked out a little rabbit and, with its superb gaming skills, showed off its manipulation skills using dirty tricks.

Silver Wolf went too far; she deliberately picked out a wolf cub and used a cheat code to wipe out the entire opposing team.

This is like in League of Legends, the heroes don't even make a move, and only super minions with buffs from Red Dragon, Blue Dragon, Baron Nashor, and Elder Dragon are left to crush the enemy and destroy their Nexus... It's the ultimate insult that's not only fountain camping but also cruelly brutal!

The contestants' faces were no longer deathly pale, but completely green.

From then on, no one dared to provoke those "big brothers and sisters" anymore.

With their overwhelming performance, Xingqiong, Haitu, and Yinlang made their opponents flee in terror, and their points skyrocketed like they were riding the Xingqiong train, making them undoubtedly the four kings of this year's Interstellar Victory Celebration.

"Wow!"

March 7th, with his cheeks puffed out and chewing, stared in amazement at the little girl on the big screen who had overwhelmingly defeated her opponent.

"I never knew Little Hook was so amazing?!"

Although there were a few minor mishaps during the process, the StarCraft Showdown Celebration, as the highest-level event in the Ether Front, still boasted top-notch entertainment value and a constant stream of innovative techniques and tactics!

Aside from a few senior players whose skills are simply too difficult to learn, countless other players are still striving hard on the field, showcasing the true charm of strategy, operation, and the cultivation of Ether Spirits.

"Topa, why don't you go and talk to the organizers and let Hook and I play together in the next match?"

Xing released the hickeys on her face and neck.

"Hey! You even want to bully little kids?! Have some shame!"

March 7th almost choked on the snack and looked at Xing speechlessly.

"I personally understand your desire to fight, but I still suggest that you guys restrain yourselves a bit."

Topa, who was directing the online army to delete posts for the four big brothers and sisters, gave a polite, but not very polite, smile.

"Dear viewers! After countless spectacular and even unimaginable battles, the fifth player to top the leaderboard and be crowned the King of Kings has finally been born—"

The host's passionate voice once again resounded throughout the arena, drowning out all the noise:

"She is our eternal leader from Yalilo VI, the Mole Party!"

"With a small body, burning with an indomitable fighting spirit—Lord Hook, the jet-black one!"

The spotlight instantly shone on the dueling arena, on Little Hook, who looked like he was saying "I'm so strong!" against a backdrop of a bunch of overlord-level Aether Spirits.

She proudly puffed out her little chest, and her adorable appearance drew even more enthusiastic applause from the audience.

"So, in the end, we still have to bully children?"

On March 7th, he revealed his dead fish eyes.

"What do you mean by bullying? Hook clearly became the Fifth Heavenly King through his own strength."

Qiong stood up for Hook, who was being looked down upon.

"Thus, the reigning champions who have reached the pinnacle of this Interstellar Victory Celebration are now in place!"

The host's voice suddenly rose: "Next! We will begin the most exciting and anticipated chapter of this celebration!"

"A clash of titans between kings! The ultimate battle beneath the throne!"

"The Championship Battle—"

"Now! Officially! Begin!"

The StarCraft Showdown Celebration tournament ranks players by points, and five champions will be determined first.

There are actually only four Heavenly King seats. The five Heavenly Kings will be matched up to fight against each other in an ethereal battle, and the winner will be determined in the end. That winner is the [Chief Champion]!

The war of the gods has begun again!

In the first match, Little Hook almost cried.

In the second match, Silver Wolf and Hawthorn were both disrupted by Seele's balanced strategy of "cheering for the weaker side and disturbing the mindset of the stronger side," resulting in another draw.

In the third match, all of Starry Sky's tricks were devised by Britta. A teacher with only one mentor couldn't break through their moves, resulting in a draw.

The fourth match is between Star and Hacker Rabbit.

Intelligence made Bunita's creations even better.

The fifth match: Qiong vs. Yinlang.

Britta is still in the C rank!

The sixth match...

The seventh match...

As the championship battle progressed, the organizers and the audience gradually discovered a problem: the scores of Xing and Qiong were not significantly different.

Little Hook was the first to be eliminated from the championship competition. As an ordinary person, she can already be proud of herself for reaching this point!

Then, Silver Wolf and Haunted Rabbit were defeated as well.

Whether it's Star or Sky who wins, as long as the other doesn't take the championship, it's acceptable for the two hacker ducks.

Only two contenders remain for the top spot: Xing and Qiong.

"Qiongzai, why don't you just admit defeat? I'll give you the prize money as pocket money, okay?"

Xing put on a loving expression, placed one hand on her chest, and coaxed her in a high-pitched, mature voice.

"Hehe, if you admit defeat, I can give you the prize money as pocket money."
