Chapter 69: Overbearing Strike!

  Xiao Hong slightly turned his body, his calm eyes, like the deep sea, were tranquil on the surface, but beneath, there was a fierce undercurrent.

  "Is it you who chose to give up and surrender? Or should I take action?" Xiao Hong took a slight step forward, stepping over Ni Ya's body, and said to the two opponents not far away who were trying to surround and kill him.

  Surrender?

  In the Kyokushin full-contact karate tournament, even in the preliminary rounds, there have been almost no cases of life-threatening injuries.

  However, facing Xiao Hong's ruthless killing method earlier, there was a hint of fear in the eyes of these two people. This fear, to a large extent, came from psychological intimidation.

  Seeing Xiao Hong turn around, the two of them involuntarily retreated a few steps, as if they had seen a ferocious and unparalleled spirit beast. However, they themselves were also very clear that if they surrendered voluntarily, today's affair would be considered a great loss.

  On the other side, Ren Xiang's heart was already in shock. At first, Xiao Hong had charged in alone, and his heart had been in his throat for Xiao Hong. But now, he couldn't have imagined that Xiao Hong's strength would progress so quickly. Although Xiao Hong reported being at the sixth level of the Cavalry Division, Ren Xiang could feel that Xiao Hong was at least at the eighth level.

  But Xiao Hong, who has always been low-key, why did he go crazy today? This made Ren Xiang somewhat incomprehensible. However, the next moment, in Ren Xiang's mind, a scene flashed back, which was the change of expression on Xiao Hong's face when Xin Yu Sheng was trying to please Mu Xi Er before, with a sour and angry look.

  Could it be that Mu Tong has feelings for Muci?

  With this understanding, Ren Xiang naturally also knew what to do and instructed his companions through the communication talisman: "Slow down your pace of support, if possible, don't intervene, let Xiao Hong understand this battle alone."

  "Got it."

  "Got it."

  Others responded in kind, and these people could naturally feel that Xiao Hong was trying to dominate this battle. As good friends, they would not ruin Xiao Hong's good deed.

  At the same time, on the road littered with ruins, the remaining two members of the Haisin team had no way out. Surrender was not an option, so they could only go all out and try their luck. They exchanged a glance, nodded at each other, and one of them suddenly pounced towards Xiao Hong. The other member raised his right hand, with his index finger pointing directly at Xiao Hong, as a bright white light began to gather rapidly at the tip.

  This is a kind of sniper warfare pattern, suitable for long-range, ultra-long-range strikes, accurate and extremely powerful, but requires a period of energy accumulation.

  The tactics of these two people are also very simple. One person rushes forward, attracting Xiao Hong's attention while entangling him, and then the person in the back gives Xiao Hong a fatal blow!

  Such tactics, although simple, are still quite practical when applied.

  Unfortunately, both of them were only at the fifth level of Beastmaster, while Xiao Hong had already reached the eighth level. The difference in strength was not ordinary, and Xiao Hong himself was not stupid either. Although he seemed crazy, he was absolutely calm when handling things.

  How could he be deceived by such a small trick of two people?

  Just before the previous player rushed towards Xiao Hong, Xiao Hong had already taken the lead.

  Whoosh!

  A purple shadow flashed by, instantly passing through the side of the team member who was rushing towards Xiao Hong, at an incredible speed!

  Before the two of them could react, Xiao Hong had already appeared behind the Hessen troops who were preparing to ambush him. A finger with a "poisonous fang" lightly scratched the armor on his opponent's neck.

  In an instant, the man who was about to snipe Xiao Hong's face was shocked, slowly falling to the ground, his armor completely locked down. Just a moment ago, he had personally witnessed Xiao Hong's speed, which was basically unlimited and close to that of a Rider-level master.

  Xiao Hong's actions were naturally captured by Mu Xi'er. As for the technique of demonic tattoo fighting, she only knew a little about it. However, Xiao Hong's action just now seemed gentle but was actually overbearing, and with a flick of his finger, his opponent was defeated.

  Xiao Hong's behavior, saying that Mu Xi'er can't look at him with different eyes, is almost impossible. He seems low-key but is actually crazy, and every girl likes a hero, Mu Xi'er is no exception.

  As for the other spectators, they had already solidified their positions in the stands. Xiao Hong, who was previously considered reckless by everyone, seemed to have made the competition suspenseless with his own strength alone.

  And on the field, the empty-handed Haysin team member, when he turned his head again, found that Xiao Hong had already chased him from behind, followed by a ruthless and crazy combo, Tiger Tooth Battle Pattern, Shadow Strike Battle Pattern all blasted up.

  Until thoroughly blasting it away!

  The final scene left to the people was Xiao Hong standing among the ruins, slightly stretching out his arms and bowing his head, with the "bodies" of five members of the Hai Xin team lying motionless on the ground around him.

  After a brief silence, the stands erupted in cheers. A single player scored five kills, an already rare feat in a team fight, and even more astonishingly, one person accomplished this with their own strength alone.

  "Xiao Hong!"

  "Xiao Hong!"

  On the platform, many people began to shout Xiao Hong's name and gradually became more organized. Even the girls who had previously shown affection for Xin Yu Sheng also started to defect.

  At this moment, in the arena, Xiao Hong is the protagonist! The only protagonist.

  "It's not bad." In the luxurious suite, Mo Xuan smiled slightly and whispered to himself, but this "not bad" was completely different from the "not bad" he used to evaluate Pei Qi.

  The mayor beside him could naturally see Mo Xuan's expression clearly. As the mayor, he had a way of observing expressions and words. He could naturally see that Mo Xuan's expression represented something.

  Although it can't be said that Xiao Hong was particularly pleased with him, he had absolutely begun to enter Mo Xuan's line of sight.

  "Director Mo, isn't it that you've taken a liking to Xiao Hong?" The mayor asked.

  "It's just a little bit, I still want to observe for a while." Mo Xuan responded.

  "If it were a battle between two armies just now, Xiao Hong's approach seems... " The mayor asked tentatively.

  "That's right, if Xiao Hong were my subordinate now and something like this happened, I would definitely scold him severely for being reckless, abandoning his post, and disobeying team orders. But in my heart, I'm still very happy to see such a scene, thoroughly crushing the enemy to death, making them despair in fear, and dealing a huge blow to their morale. That's right, personal heroism is not popular in the military, but it's often impossible to ignore his existence." Mo Xuan responded: "Moreover, I can tell that guy was a bit abnormal today, with an extremely strong desire to show off, I reckon there must be someone he likes in the stands."

  It is obvious that the last sentence has already fully revealed the kind of sharpness and cruelty with which Mo Xuan looks at people, capable of piercing through one's inner heart.

  However, just as Mo Xuan was communicating with the mayor, a deputy officer wearing military uniform suddenly strode in, his expression stern. He then whispered a few words into Mo Xuan's ear.

  As the soldier finished speaking, the relaxed look on Mo Xuan's face had completely disappeared, replaced by a complex expression that was both shocked and unsurprised.

  "Unbelievable, they've actually infiltrated here before us." Mo Xuan muttered to himself, then gestured for the soldiers to lead the way, leaving the luxurious suite with a solemn expression.

  Han Chen, who was on the viewing platform, had already taken out a small notebook and written down Xiao Hong's name. This meant that he too had entered Han Chen's line of sight and was preparing to recruit him into Xijin Magic Academy, the highest learning institution in Taowu City.

  As for Cheng Shao Yong beside him, he slightly curled his lips, although on the surface he still had a friendly appearance, but in his heart, he was sour and jealous, with emotions of envy, jealousy and hatred lingering in his mind.

  But, unfortunately, there's no way around it. After all, who would give up the prestigious Xijin Academy to attend its branch school? It's not like anyone in their right mind would reject an invitation from Xijin and choose to go to the branch school instead.

  After more than ten minutes, after the cleaning of the competition venue, the staff had unlocked the armor of the players of Hesian's team, while Xiao Hong and other members of the Bi'an War Team were already standing on the podium.

  Muxi'er was holding the crystal trophy for the best performance of the evening and smiled as she walked up to Xiao Hong.

  Looking at Xiao Hong again, gazing at Mu Xi'er who was less than half a meter away from him, his face had turned red like a big apple. The ferocity of just now had vanished, and he once again returned to his usual self, that of a big boy.

  "Just now you... were really amazing." Muxi'er smiled and said to Xiao Hong, placing the trophy in Xiao Hong's hand while slowly extending her right hand, with a gentle smile still on her face.

  He glanced at Muxi's pale and slender hand, and Xiao Hong's brain suddenly went blank, his whole body tense to the point of suffocation.

  Wiping the sweat from his palms on his pants, he carefully stretched out his hand and gently grasped Muxi'er's fingertips, his entire arm electrified in an instant.

  The whole person's feeling is even more like a dream.

  A few minutes later, the simple awards ceremony also came to an end.

  At this time, Xiao Hong's hand had an extra thing, which was a photo with Mu Xi'er. In the photo, Xiao Hong still had a slightly red face and stood there stiffly, holding the trophy in his hand. Mu Xi'er looked much more natural, her head slightly leaning towards Xiao Hong, and she stretched out two slender fingers to make a victory gesture.

  In addition to the prize money for advancing to the top 16, Xiao Hong also received two additional prizes. One was the MVP award, which came with five gold coins, and the other was for killing five people in a row, a feat that is difficult to achieve, so the prize was substantial, totaling twenty gold coins.

  "Wow, I didn't expect us to make it this far. This team was previously considered trash, and now we're in the top 16? Is this a dream?" Zhuang Hai said with an exaggerated expression.

  "It's not just Brother Hong's credit, but this time, Brother Hong has made a fortune. Let's celebrate!" Huang Mao, who was already familiar with Xiao Hong, gently patted Xiao Hong's shoulder and smiled flirtatiously, clearly in an extremely good mood.
