Chapter 185: Selection Contest (2)
“What talent do you have?” He Xiang asked.
Fluttering Bamboo didn’t answer, merely, the feather fan in her hand shook and emitted a pallid radiance, which shot directly at a corner of the arena, leaving behind an obvious icy cold mark.
“Just so-so…” He Xiang paid no attention to it: “This is just a D grade skill, Frost Arrow. It indeed has a certain slow down effect, but the damage is not enough…”
Everyone present nodded their heads in agreement. Frost Arrow was truly a skill without much damage output. Its main effect was to reduce the opponents’ agility by 1 point.
Wanting to cross the threshold of the audition with only such a skill was a pipe dream.
Fluttering Bamboo still remained silent, and the feather fan in her hand shook again, emitting a red light, which directly shot at the same place, actually breaking a corner of the just-built temporary arena.
“Oh?” He Xiang thought: “This is Flame Arrow…, interesting.”
Flame Arrow was also a skill with a low-damage output, but the Flame Arrow would trigger a critical hit to opponents that had fallen in a cold state.
Having these two skills simultaneously was truly interesting.
Unfortunately, it needed time to gather energy to launch Flame Arrow and Frost Arrow. In other words, one basically couldn’t use both Frost Arrow and Flame Arrow simultaneously.
The cold state caused by the Frost Arrow only lasted for a few seconds.
Therefore, if one wished to successively use Frost Arrow and Flame Arrow on the opponent, then it was impossible with a high operation technique.
He Xiang said: “Your combination skill is a bit interesting. You should have worked very hard to obtain these two rare skills. Merely, this alone certainly cannot show that you have sufficiently powerful combat power. It, at most, just shows that you are a pretty good flower vase.”
Fluttering Bamboo looked at the people below the arena and asked: “Who wants to come and fight? Regardless of the profession.”
Everyone was delighted and surprised. They were surprised because Fluttering Bamboo was so unwise, and delighted because they got a chance to show off.
Looking carefully, the appearance and temperament of Fluttering Bamboo’s character were outstanding. With such a dignified look combined with that hot figure, wouldn’t it be a pity to not eat her tofu?
As for being defeated by her, they never considered it.
“Me!” A muscular man stepped forward.
This person was a knight, and he seemed to be a veteran player. His skill should be on the mid-upper level, might be better than Shi Hao.
“Make a move!” Fluttering Bamboo didn’t speak nonsense. Her remaining MP was just enough to release another wave of fire and ice. As long as she made even a tiny mistake, she would lose for sure.
“Okay! Little girl, I’ll play with you.”
That man rushed forward with a big stride and immediately reached within Fluttering Bamboo’s reach.
He Xiang frowned and thought: “Should I end this farce? But that Fluttering Bamboo seems to have a plan.”
He Xiang was also not a man whose mind was filled with filth. He didn’t stop the match just because Fluttering Bamboo’s face was still full of confidence.
He couldn’t bear to deprive Fluttering Bamboo of a chance to win the spot.
In the arena, that man’s big hands were about to succeed in holding Fluttering Bamboo’s torso.
He was not afraid of Fluttering Bamboo’s Frost Arrow. With his defense power, although a trifling Frost Arrow could deal damage to some extent, it wouldn’t affect the overall situation.
Moreover, he could reverse the situation in one move. The paper defense of strategists was not worth mentioning.
Fluttering Bamboo released Frost Arrow, and that man involuntarily slowed down a step.
“Heh heh, you can’t escape now.”
Only allowed on Creativenovels.comBut this one step had no effect. A sword that suddenly appeared on that man’s hand was about to cut Fluttering Bamboo. In addition, his free hand had long held her.
“Stop!” He Xiang finally shouted.
He couldn’t bear to see it any longer.
That man reluctantly stopped, but he still didn’t forget to take cheap advantage with his left hand, making many men below the stage very envious.
“What are you looking at? This is something this father deserves.”
“Is that so?” Fluttering Bamboo suddenly said. This man seemed to be a dead man in her eyes.
However, she was a loser. Not only did she lose the match, but the other party had also taken advantage of her.
Therefore, everyone didn’t understand where Fluttering Bamboo’s self-confidence came from and dared to speak so arrogantly.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Just when He Xiang was also thinking, the triumphant-looking fellow was inexplicably blasted away. No one understood what had happened.
“Was that fellow so excited that he exploded?” Someone guessed.
“That might be possible, but that’s too low.”
“No!” He Xiang suddenly thought of something.
He directly rushed to the stage and carefully checked the arena’s ground.
On the ground, not far from Fluttering Bamboo, although the clue was not obvious, it couldn’t deceive He Xiang’s eyes.
He Xiang said: “How did you do it?”
Fluttering Bamboo didn’t like speaking much.
She condensed fire energy on her right hand, and just when the fire energy was about to condense into the Flame Arrow, she waved her hand and dispersed it.
After the energy was dispersed, it was not obvious and difficult to distinguish with the naked eyes. Then, that energy spread around the arena.
Afterward, Fluttering Bamboo frowned a little and the dispersed energy gathered again and directly became a Flame Arrow.
“This…, how is this possible?” The people below the stage were shocked.
No one had thought that someone could actually control the energy of skill to the acme of perfection like this.
Suddenly stopping partway during the activation of the Flame Arrow, this was the first difficulty. Then, freely condensing the dispersed fire energy was the second difficulty.
“Very good!” He Xiang was very satisfied with Fluttering Bamboo.
Even if He Xiang hadn’t called to stop, Fluttering Bamboo would have won without a doubt. The reason why it took so long for Fluttering Bamboo was merely to gather enough energy to use Frost Arrow.
As long as Frost Arrow was used, it was Fluttering Bamboo’s victory.
He Xiang inwardly thought: “It seems that I can satisfy Shake the Heaven and Blowing Wind Left A Passion this time. Very good.”
He Xiang left. Fluttering Bamboo also left by herself. And everyone dispersed in succession.
In a blink of an eye, the next day came, and the selection contest continued as planned.
“Okay! Today, it’s the second round of selection. And tomorrow, the people of Twin Dragons Village will come. Everyone, fight for this chance.” He Xiang announced.
Immediately afterward, the six people who had passed the audition round of yesterday appeared on the stage one after another along with the thunderous applause.
Looking carefully, among the six people, other than Fluttering Bamboo, all were males.
And among those five males, two were selected because of their pretty good control ability.
As for the other three, they were selected because of their C grade skills. The three of them seemed to know each other, and their relationship didn’t seem simple. Their C grade skill was called Energy Mastery.
