Had he fallen?
Only the housekeeper knew about the costs of living. d.a.m.n. Money wouldn’t just appear from the skies. Although there weren’t a lack of rich people in the World of Saints, those rich people were usually misers. For Student w.a.n.g to complete his grand plan of getting $500 million, he had to be a professional!
Customers were king here. Disregarding throwing knives at targets, even if they wished to play with throwing flying knives at humans, he would also have to accept!
Throwing a flying knife from 30 metres wasn’t that easy. It was especially so as it would only count if the knife hit the bullseye. Only Luo Yuling would have the confidence to do so on the Acolytes’ level currently.
Although she claimed it was for becoming a Saint, the fact was Luo Yuling wasn’t interested in it. It was only that she wasn’t willing to accept others spreading that this person was so incredible.
Luo Yuling wasn’t being courteous and made the first move. She was trying to deal him a head-on blow from the very start.
Cultivation technique only strengthened Luo Yuling’s strength and stability. The reason she was great at throwing knives was because of her Ability X.
Rub…
Although there were 10 seconds to make a move, Luo Yuling only used 3 seconds to make her first move. She had hit the bullseye steadily.
When it was the sixth second, w.a.n.g Zheng’s finally made its move. However, he seemed to be more casual.
Rub…
It hit the bullseye accurately.
Luo Yuling’s eyes flickered. This brat had some skills. She was holding the back of the knife but the opponent was holding the front of the knife. It was clear that he was taunting her!
One had to know that flying knives were also a top tier skill and there were a huge variety of them. Nonetheless, most of them would hold the back of the knives and yet this person dared to hold the front of the knife.
In fact, no matter how fancy the opponent was, accuracy would still be the most important.
From the second knife onwards, Luo Yuling wouldn’t want to be careless and lose the match. She swung the knife out fiercely and bullseye!
As for w.a.n.g Zheng, he still made his move at approximately 6 seconds. Bullseye!
The two of them alternated and made their moves. After about 5 knives, everything hit the bullseye.
5:5. It was a draw.
Some spectators left again. Honestly speaking, the flying knives of Charcoal were rather good and his accuracy could match Luo Yuling’s. The No.1 throwing knives girl on the Acolytes’ level had meet her match. It was a pity that this duel would also be their last. It would be his lost too if it was a draw. With Luo Yuling’s stability, she wouldn’t collapse suddenly due to miscalculation.
Luo Yuling was finally relaxed. She roughly understood the opponent’s level of skills. It was rather good but still a little worse than her.
For the sixth knife, Luo Yuling who had already relaxed her mind, made her move even quicker. She threw the knife at approximately the 2 second mark and accurately hit the bullseye.
However, Charcoal seemed to have stagnated. Luo Yuling smiled. It was a little too late to realise the problem now.
For someone to start a life and death match, this person would definitely have some skills. However, he shouldn’t be showing off. There were pros all around the world. He must have not known what death was with just this level of skills.
Today, she would enforce justice on behalf of heaven.
Seven seconds… eight seconds…
Could it be that Charcoal was scared?
It was almost 10 seconds. At the very last moment, Charcoal finally threw out his knife slowly.
Bang…
Bullseye.
Everyone let out a sigh of awe. Luo Yuling was surprised too. This brat wasn’t nervous. He had done it on purpose.
w.a.n.g Zheng took a look at Luo Yuling calmly. In his gaze, there were signs of disregarding her.
This had caused Luo Yuling to almost not be able to tolerate it. Her confidence on throwing knives was exploding.
The seventh knife.
Both of them did not make their moves and was waiting for the time to pa.s.s. At the instance just before the 10 seconds mark, both of them struck at the same time.
At this moment, it had become a contest of their spiritual strength. They would be affected by the other party if they weren’t careful.
The knives of both of them hit the bullseye at the same time. They had demonstrated that they had enough mental caliber.
The eighth knife.
Time pa.s.sed by seconds after seconds. Charcoal had already raised his knife and Luo Yuling had also made her preparation. No matter if it was skills or maturity level, she was clearly better than the opponent. He could only dream on if he wanted to play with her.
One second… two seconds… five seconds… eight seconds…
She had wanted to strike half a second after the 9th second. It would be beating the buzzer.
However, when it was the ninth second, Charcoal struck. Moreover, his posture was rather exaggerated.
With this lead, Luo Yuling almost let go of her knife. However, she was able to stabilise herself eventually. It was just that the time left for her was only half a second. She quickly struck.
When she made her move, her face immediately changed.
Rub… Rub…
The two throwing knives. .h.i.t their targets one after another. However, w.a.n.g Zheng had hit the bullseye while the throwing knife of Luo Yuling was… off!
It had missed by only a little!
The previous move had disrupted her tempo.
“You were playing dirty!” said Luo Yuling angrily.
w.a.n.g Zheng shrugged his shoulders helplessly. The customers these days were really hard to serve. He hadn’t really done anything. He didn’t even say a word.
Luo Yuling stomped his legs in anger. There were still 2 knives left. She still had a chance.
The ninth knife.
The two of them was having a face off for throwing knives. When it was the 8th second, Luo Yuling struck suddenly. He had wanted to make his move at the 9th second and she had struck one second in advance to disrupt him.
This was what they called it giving him a dose of his own medicine!
Luo Yuling successfully hit the target. As for Charcoal… he had missed!
Luo Yuling revealed a satisfied smile. It was a draw once again.
The spectators also let out a sigh. Who would have thought that a compet.i.tion of wits would involve competing with wits and bravery? Initially, Charcoal had the initiative. However, the other party was able to get back. There was only one last knife left.
Luo Yuling was pleased. Victory and death would be decided with the last knife.
Luo Yuling missing previously had drawn quite a number of people in. They had thought an opportunity had arrived. However, they had not expected Charcoal to throw this advantage away. Nonetheless, it was at the last moment of the compet.i.tion and everyone wouldn’t mind staying a little longer.
She just had to hit the bullseye for the last knife. Luo Yuling wasn’t going to compete with the opponent on tempo.
Once the buzzer went off, she immediately struck!
Bang…
Luo Yuling had made her move in the first second. However, w.a.n.g Zheng’s flying knife was thrown at this moment too.
It was just that this knife wasn’t thrown towards the target but… hit Luo Yuling’s flying knfe!!!
Luo Yuling was also shocked. Had this person become angry because of the shame? However, hitting her knife wouldn’t be better than throwing the knife at her directly. This was too childish…
Bang…
The crowd went dead silence suddenly.
Charcoal’s flying knife reflected onto his own target after hitting Luo Yuling’s flying knife away.
Bullseye!
Was… this s.h.i.+t real??
After a short period of silence, the entire spectating platform erupted. Wasn’t this brat too lucky?
This brat was clearly desperate. This would work too!
Charcoal was wearing a mask and others could not see his expression. Luo Yuling really wanted to remove his mask. This brat had…
Charcoal win! Luo Yuling failed the challenge!
Everyone was engaging in a lively discussion. As for w.a.n.g Zheng, he didn’t feel anything special. In this way, probably no one would be scared away. Since he would be collecting money, he had to make the audience feel that it was worth the price of the tickets after all!
Tentacles had already made his plans. Everything would have ended. However, he had turned the table around for a huge victory. How could he have won in this way?
He was simply too lucky.
Luo Fei was hiding amongst the crowd and the muscles of his face were twitching. This captain cared too much about teasing the young lady. It was clearly intentional.
With w.a.n.g Zheng’s spiritual strength, how would he be affected by others? Anyone who attended the IG would not have believed that w.a.n.g Zheng of the Solar System Federation would ever be fl.u.s.tered. Moreover, this was only a small occasion.
However, the last flying knife was simply too miraculous. He had to calculate both the strength and the angle of the throw!
At the headquarters of the Milky Way Galaxy, Roland Garros, in the faraway Immortal Puluo’s Galaxy.
In a s.p.a.cious and brightly lit room, a cute girl was stomping her feet in anger. Flames of anger seemed to have almost emerged from the young and big pair of eyes.
“Yu er, are you going to take the house apart?” a loud and clear voice shouted.
“Grandpa. Leave me alone. I’m angry now!” Ling Luoyu said.
The door had opened and Gail extended his head into the room. “Little girl, who has angered you? Was it because you had lost in darts?”
“It was flying knives, not darts!”
“It’s the same. A girl like you should…”
“Grandpa, if you nag at me again I would pull your beard!” threatened Ling Luoyu.
“Cough cough. We have to be reasonable!” Gail who had been bad tempered all along seemed just like a little lamb at this moment.
“Grandpa, did you say that that w.a.n.g Zheng is really that powerful?”
“Powerful, of course he is powerful. Flying knives is only a small thing to him. He definitely can master such a move.”
“Humph! Grandpa Mu and you had already praised him to the skies. I would really want to see if he was truly that powerful!”
“Little ancestor, please do not create a disturbance. He is a true warrior. You will be able to see him in the college not too long from now.” Gail was smiling like a sly old fox.
“Grandpa, what are you scheming?” Ling Luoyu could smell a conspiracy afoot.
Gail was shocked. “Scheming? What was that? I don’t even know what youre talking about! Little girl, how would grandpa harm you? Cough cough. I still have matters to attend to. Stop creating a disturbance or I wont be able to do my work.”
After talking, Gail had run away and left Ling Luoyu alone in anger. Why wouldn’t she know what Grandpa was scheming. What generation were they already in? The humans had already pa.s.sed the Interstellar Navigation era. Why would there still be anyone trying to arrange a matchmaking session? It was really old-fas.h.i.+oned!
Moreover, she was a prominent figure in the Elite Academy X.
