"Ye Zai, Genos, it's up to you guys now. Whether or not we get to eat hotpot tonight depends on your performance."
Baldy patted both of their shoulders with an expression that said, "It's up to you guys."
"Don't expect too much from me. Even if I meet the guy who killed you instantly, my chances of winning are probably not high."
Ye Zai knew that he would not be able to kill Baldy who was using VR to control his character in an instant. Hence, he did not hold much hope for victory.
"Ye Zai, what are you thinking?
You're our last hope. I'm just not familiar with VR operations. You'll definitely win! "
Baldy saw that Ye Zai had given up halfway and anxiously cheered him on.
It was not a big deal for Ye Zai to lose the competition. He could go home and continue to live a good life with his sister. However, Baldy was counting on the prize money to make a living.
The competition continued. Ye Zai and Genos were not as unlucky as Saitama. They only met normal opponents.
Both of them advanced one after another. Genos' character was a robot while Ye Zai's character was a sword-wielding loli.
Apart from the competition, the three of them also paid attention to the player "Koala" who defeated Saitama.
His strength was off the charts. He was the VR version of the "Baldy Demon King". Almost none of the opponents he met could touch him. Moreover, almost all of them were defeated in one move with full health.
Due to the speed of his combo, there was even the illusion of a one-hit kill.
Most of his opponents were like Saitama. As soon as they saw the words "Battle Begins", the word "K.O." appeared in their minds.
As more and more people were eliminated, Ye Zai finally understood that this "Koala" was King himself!
After excluding those who were spectators, there were only six contestants left.
Ye Zai and King's Koala had just defeated two passersby respectively and advanced to the top four.
There were still two spots left. However, only Genos, Suiryu, Garou, and a passerby were left.
Genos was unlucky. The passerby was defeated by Suiryu. Genos' opponent was Garou.
On the screen, a robot character was flying in the air, firing all kinds of laser weapons at a werewolf character.
However, the Werewolf character's movements were abnormally agile. He constantly used his snakeskin to dodge Genos' attacks. If he couldn't dodge the bullets, he would use his wolf claws to slap them away.
After Garou's series of smooth movements, he had already closed in on Genos and launched a series of attacks.
However, in the game, Genos' outstanding mobility did not seem to be as outstanding as it was in real life.
Even though his in-game character was flying, the game interface was limited. Where could he run to?
As for Genos, who had lost his expensive high-tech weapons, he was obviously no match for Water Stream Rock Smashing Fist in close combat.
After Garou easily dodged a set of combination punches, Genos' HP decreased at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"Looks like this fighting tournament is more interesting than I thought."
Suiryu, who was hugging women, could tell the moment he saw the Werewolf character's attack. Like him, his opponent was a martial arts expert. Moreover, his strength was quite impressive!
Genos walked back to Yezai and Saitama dejectedly. He had been defeated by Garou's continuous attacks.
"Genos, don't be disheartened. It's just that the game's settings limited your strength. At least you're much better than someone who was eliminated in the first round."
Yezai comforted Genos while making a dig at Baldy. However, he didn't say anything.
Although it was VR technology, it was impossible to completely replicate all the moves of the contestants. For example, Yezai's "Ice Release" and "Energy Wave" could not be synchronized in the game.
This VR technology was obviously more advantageous for martial arts experts with excellent physical fitness.
So far, the top four had successfully emerged. They were King, Suiryu, Yezai, and Garou.
The next semi-finals would be Suiryu against King, and Yezai against Garou.
Suiryu went on stage amidst the cheers of the beauties. His posture of hugging women left and right made Baldy envious.
However, the result of this match was unexpected. Suiryu, who was the favorite to win, only lasted a minute in front of King!
Although he was the contestant who could last the longest in front of King, most of them had already KO-ed at the beginning of the game.
However, it also depended on who it was. This was Suiryu, not the passer-by from before.
As for Saitama's instant defeat, it was purely his own fault. At the beginning of the match, he was still fantasizing about using the prize money to buy something.
However, in the blink of an eye, he was instantly defeated. After all, there was no such thing as "murderous intent" in the game. Even when Baldy lost, he only realized it later.
King's maneuvering skills left Saitama dumbfounded. Finally, he turned to Yezai and asked, "Yezai, you can win, right?"
"Like hell I can win!"
Ye Zai immediately cursed. Logically speaking, Suiryu's control was already impeccable. His Void Sky Dragon Fist's level of martial arts was not inferior to that of an S-class hero.
Even so, he only lasted a minute in front of King.
Ye Zai couldn't help but be a little shocked. Just how good was this man at playing video games?!
After the match between King and Suiryu, it was Yezai's match against Garou.
"Genos, I'll avenge you."
As they were both contestants who chose VR attack characters, both of them brought their own equipment and their characters were generated on the screen.
Garou's character was a gray werewolf, while Yezai's character was a little red riding hood with a long sword …
"Little red riding hood and the big bad wolf?
What an interesting combination! "
The emcee worked hard to liven up the atmosphere. Most of the audience thought that Garou would win and enter the finals.
After all, Garou's previous match with Genos was very strong. On the other hand, Yezai's performance in the match against passer-by was very ordinary.
However, as soon as the match started, the audience saw what a ferocious loli looked like.
The big bad wolf eating little red riding hood?
It was a cliché. The current trend was to see little red riding hood chasing after the big bad wolf.
At the start of the game, Yezai's little red riding hood immediately showed amazing swordsmanship and forced Garou into a corner.
The attacks from both of them became faster and faster. There were even afterimages.
The collision between the "Flying Heaven Govern Sword-Style" and the "Water Stream Rock Smashing Fist" was also evenly matched. However, one must not forget that Ye Zai was not only good at swordsmanship.
Although Ye Zai's physical skills were not as good as his swordsmanship, his martial skills were not to be trifled with after being in the Sea of Deathly Flames for a few worlds.
