Chapter 558: Connect...Connect?

Ling Xin's volunteering surprised everyone. Old Miaomiao asked curiously, "You're not a fighter, so how can you do this kind of heavy work?"

Ling Xin nodded: "I have my own way, I am confident that I can throw it farther than the two of them."

"Hey, hey, hey, you are looking down on me, junior." Xiao Tian was a little unconvinced. At this time, Luo Jun raised his hand and pointed to the stadium: "Look at the people sent by other teams."

Everyone turned their heads and saw that the player on the Tianjing side was Xue Lan, the player on the Dongchuan College side was Sun Xiaowei, and the player on the Puhuashan side was a tall and thin man. The old people all knew him. He was a very powerful manipulator. Only the Kansai University side had a big and strong man who was a fighter.

"It seems that the fighting school is not necessarily the first choice." Luo Jun said: "The efficiency of throwing the shot put purely by strength is not high. Why not try special methods? I think Ling Xin can do it!"

After his reminder, everyone agreed with Ling Xin's participation. Ling Xin also glanced at Luo Jun, as if to thank him for his trust.

But Luo Jun had some other ideas in his mind.

Ling Xin's own bones and amplification are extremely high. If we only look at the abilities below Pei Yuan Realm, her strength is definitely far beyond Lu Fei and Xiao Tian. Taking into account the amplification of Ning Xin Realm, she should not be much behind. Even if she really uses brute force to throw, it won't be much different.

Soon, Ling Xin stood on the field with the Ningdong College name tag on her.

All the contestants stood in a corner of the stadium. As a Puhuashan teacher activated his ability, the venue changed its shape. The original running track disappeared, and was replaced by circles of distance markings. In the blink of an eye, it became a venue suitable for throwing.

The first person to take the stage was the burly man from Kansai University. When he arrived at the venue, he grabbed the shot put with both hands, lifted it up with all his strength, and then began to spin in circles on the spot, as if he was planning to use centrifugal force to throw it.

"The posture is quite standard, but the effect is not very good..." Luo Jun curled his lips.

"Why do you think so?" Zhai Xixi asked curiously.

"Relying on centrifugal force to swing the ball is generally effective, but the premise is that the weight of the ball is much lighter than the person, so the rotation is centered on the person, the ball draws an arc, and can be accelerated."

"But this is a ten-ton shot put, which is hundreds of times heavier than a human. The weight of a human has too little effect on the center of gravity of the ball. Look at the field. The shot put is spinning like a gyroscope. It has almost no angular velocity..."

As he spoke, the sturdy man had already moved to the edge of the throwing area. He activated his internal energy and threw the shot put out with all his might.

The shot put as big as a water tank drew a heavy parabola and hit the ground with a "boom", creating a shallow pit in the venue. Luo Jun, who was sitting in the stands, felt a slight vibration.

After measurement, the result was 12.3 meters.

It's so difficult to exert force to throw a ten-ton object so far. This sturdy man is really strong and is considered a good fighter. The judges in the stands nodded repeatedly with approval.

This shows that although the purpose of the exchange meeting is to achieve results, ranking is not the only goal. Being able to show one's own advantages may be more important.

The next person to come on stage was Sun Xiaowei. This girl's fighting style was even simpler and more brutal. She directly created a mechanical catapult under the shot put, which just happened to put the shot put into the bullet bag. Then the mechanism started to work and it ejected with all its might!

Creation is not omnipotent, and power has its limits. A ten-ton shot put is not easy to throw. However, the structure of the trebuchet is much more efficient than manpower, and the shot put flew farther than the first strong man. The final measurement showed that it reached 23.8 meters, almost double the distance.

Then the third one was the manipulator from Puhuashan. After he came on the court, he did not directly come into contact with the shot put. Instead, he used the manipulator's telekinesis to push the shot put to roll in the throwing area.

However, the shot put did not roll randomly, but made circular motion around the edge of the throwing area. As it continued to accelerate, the shot put rolled faster and faster. When the speed reached its limit, the athlete suddenly raised his hands upwards, and an additional force was added under the shot put, which bounced the shot put up. Then, using the previous rolling speed, the entire shot put flew diagonally upwards.

This is a very clever method. You can save a lot of energy by accelerating by rolling first, and then raise it with all your strength at the moment of flying up, and cleverly use inertia to shoot the ball out.

Unfortunately, the power of control is limited after all. Even if she used her ingenuity, she could not overcome the power of the machine. Her final result was 19.6 meters, which was not better than Sun Xiaowei.

The fourth person to come on stage was Ling Xin. She walked to the huge shot put, raised her hand, and golden light flickered on her fingertips.

"She's not going to use the Magic Breaking Golden Blade, is she?" Lu Fei frowned and said, "With the sharpness of her Golden Blade, it will be no problem to break the shot put into pieces, but throwing it out..."

While I was guessing, I saw Ling Xin wave her hand and stand on tiptoe, turning gracefully on the spot a few times as if dancing. The golden light between her fingers followed the trajectory, falling in circles and finally forming a spring-like structure.

Ling Xin stood in the middle of the spring and with a wave of her hand, she lifted it up high and covered the shot put.

Then, Ling Xin controlled the golden light, compressed the spring tightly to the ground, and then tightened and reduced its diameter, allowing the spring to press against the bottom of the shot put.

Afterwards, Ling Xin raised her leg and kicked the shot put. Then, at the moment when the shot put rolled forward, the golden spring below suddenly exerted force and pushed the shot put diagonally upward!
Whoosh!
The power of the Demon-Breaking Golden Blade lies not only in its sharpness, but also in its indestructible nature and powerful power! After abandoning its sharpness, under Ling Xin's control, the power and strength of this spring have far surpassed all materials in reality!
Under the powerful elastic force, the shot put flew high and easily surpassed Sun Xiaowei's landing point. The final result reached an astonishing 48.5 meters!
"Oh oh oh oh!"

All the audience burst into cheers, and even the judges in the stands couldn't help but applaud, praising Ling Xin's magical abilities!

Ling Xin's magic-breaking golden sword is well-known, and everyone knows that the characteristic of its ability is its indestructible and sharp attack power. Using it to make a spring can be said to be a waste of resources. On the other hand, springs have such strength, so you can imagine how terrifying the power of the golden sword is!
Ling Xin smiled confidently and slowly left the stage. It was Xue Lan's turn to be the last one.

When the silver-haired girl walked onto the stage, most of the ordinary audience had no reaction.

It can only be said that as a descendant of metamorphosis, Xue Lan is indeed too low-key and has almost no fame.

But the representatives of the Yuan Xiuhui headquarters obviously knew the precious granddaughter of the Ice Queen. When they saw her come on stage, they sat up straight, perked up, and looked forward to her performance.

Xue Lan came to the throwing area, looked at the huge shot put in front of her, and raised her right hand expressionlessly.

Hmm? Luo Jun frowned slightly. He felt an inexplicable chill gathering in the girl's hand. But looking at the people around him, there didn't seem to be any special reaction.

Am I the only one who can feel it? Before Luo Jun could analyze it carefully, he saw Xue Lan lift her palm upwards, and then a thick icicle rose from under the shot put, lifting up the entire shot put.

As it rose, the icicle continued to change, and finally turned into a large ice hand, holding the shot put in its hand, just like an ordinary athlete holding an ordinary shot put. Then, Xue Lan adjusted the angle, pulled the ice hand back, stopped when it was about to touch the rear boundary of the throwing area, and then threw it forward at a very high speed, stopping just at the front boundary of the throwing area.

Bing Shou stopped moving, but the shot put flew out due to inertia, drawing a beautiful parabola in the air, and finally, landed in front of Ling Xin's ball pit!

50.2 meters!
Xue Lan's score surpassed Ling Xin's and she won the shot put championship! The scene was silent at first, and then bursts of cheers and praises broke out!

Most people didn't expect that this strange silver-haired girl actually had such means!

On the contrary, those who knew Xue Lan seemed calmer, as if they had expected this result.

Facing the cheers from the audience, Xue Lan seemed unmoved. She lowered her head slightly, turned around and left, giving people a feeling that she was naturally arrogant and indifferent to everything.

But with his extraordinary vision, Luo Jun noticed that the girl's ears were red...

I never thought that the shy girl would be such a tough character!

In the eyes of others, Xue Lan seemed to have taken advantage of the ice element's creation ability. After all, with such big hands, throwing the shot put dozens of meters away did not look particularly exaggerated visually.

But Luo Jun knew that as the size of an object increases, its strength will become increasingly fragile relative to its own weight. A 1.8-meter-tall person can run and jump freely, but a 2.3-meter-tall giant, even a trained athlete, will look clumsy in his movements. For ordinary people, even running and jumping will probably put a burden on their bodies.

Ice itself is not a very strong material. It looks easy to hold up a shot put that is ten times denser than itself. In fact, the ice hand is probably much lighter than the shot put. Relying on the strength and weight of ice, it can throw a ten-ton object over fifty meters. It can only be said that the ice hand is not as simple as it looks!
As expected of her, she is Yuhua’s granddaughter. She really has something!
In that case, her brother Xuesong is also a very powerful master...

Then, various events were held one after another, and the contestants took the field one after another, from high jump and long jump to weighted cross-country running, from long-range shooting to endurance competition. In the end, even children's games such as throwing sandbags, rock-paper-scissors, and hide-and-seek became events.

However, from beginning to end, Luo Jun never had the chance to play.

It's very simple. Everyone in the team knows that Luo Jun has a weak foundation. Although he has good abilities and can use multiple elements, his realm is too low. He only knows one or two moves for each element. He can't use them freely and comprehensively like other elementalists. It is not easy for him to cope with this kind of competition.

Of course, Ling Xin knew even more clearly that Luo Jun was not even at the state of mind concentration, and his abilities were all used by summoning creatures, so even if some projects were recommended to Luo Jun, Ling Xin would come forward to help Luo Jun block them.

In this way, after two days of competitive events, Luo Jun had been sitting on the bench in the stands.

"Next, we are about to start the last event of the competition phase of this exchange meeting!" The host's voice echoed throughout the stadium: "This event has never been seen before, and I guess everyone has not had the opportunity to prepare in advance. But as future explorers, the tasks we encounter often have such uncertainties, and this is also a test for all the contestants!"

"Then I declare that the next competitive event to be launched is... Connect the Dots!"

What? !

When they heard the project announced by the host, all the contestants and the audience made sounds of surprise.

I thought throwing sandbags and playing rock-paper-scissors were exciting enough, but how come even video games have come up?
Amidst the doubts, the host began to announce the rules of the game.

"Once the game begins, ninety by one hundred and sixty squares will appear on the screen. Each square will have a pattern. There will be a total of fourteen thousand four hundred squares and seven thousand two hundred patterns on the entire screen. In other words, each pattern will only randomly occupy two squares."

"The pattern will be shown for one minute. After one minute, all the patterns will be turned over and the contestants will take turns to uncover the squares. If the two squares uncovered have the same pattern, one point will be scored and the two squares will be locked in the uncovered state. If the two squares uncovered have different patterns, no points will be scored and the two squares will be locked again."

"The players draw lots to decide the order in which they turn over the cards. Each player has ten chances to uncover the squares in each round. Regardless of the final score, the next person will continue to turn over the cards."

"At the same time, each round of flipping cards has a time limit of thirty seconds. If the time is exceeded, the round will not be forced to end. Instead, points will be deducted based on the time exceeded. One point will be deducted for every second of overtime."

"If a player gets all ten flips wrong in a round, he will be temporarily eliminated and lose the chance to flip cards again. However, the points he has already obtained will be retained. After all players are eliminated, the scores will be calculated uniformly to determine the winner!"

"The rules have been read!"

After listening to the host's explanation, all the delegations, including the audience and judges, started talking among themselves.

"Obviously, it is impossible to remember the patterns of 14,400 squares within 60 seconds." Old Miaomiao analyzed, "So, this is a test of instant memory. The only way to win is to remember as many patterns as possible and try to draw the front positions before forgetting them and get more points!"

"It's not necessarily better to draw first." Lu Fei analyzed: "Except for the first sixty seconds, when others turn over the cards, it can also help you consolidate your memory, so I don't think you have to be the first to go on stage..."

"These skills are just details. The key is still memory." Lei Tianyang said: "Who has the strongest mental power?"

"Don't look at me!" Xiao Tian shook his head like a rattle: "I get a headache just listening to the rules of this kind of project."

"I didn't count on you in the first place!" Old Miaomiao snorted and looked at Zhai Xixi: "People from the illusion school generally have stronger mental power. Why don't you go?"

"The illusion school does have a bonus on mental strength, but it is impossible to store so much information instantly... Besides, other teams are not short of illusion school masters, so I am a little lacking in confidence..." Zhai Xixi smacked her lips.

"It doesn't matter if we can't win." Lu Fei comforted him, "But we really don't have anyone more suitable than you..."

"Then... I will..." Zhai Xixi was about to agree, but suddenly heard a voice from the side: "How about, let me try?"

Everyone turned around and saw Luo Jun holding his hand.

"you?!"
