Starry Sky Railway: Opening Performance - Taixu Sword God

Yan Huan and Ka Meili arrived early to discuss the competition.

"Mr. Luca is going to play two matches today," Camille said, sounding a little nervous.

"One show in the morning, one show in the afternoon..."

"Isn't the time a bit tight? It would be terrible if he got seriously injured in the first game."

"It's alright," Luca said confidently.

"With my current strength, as long as the opponent isn't too outrageous, there shouldn't be any problems."

“But I’m more worried about their support equipment.” Camille clenched her hands, looking quite anxious.

"Basically, any team with even a little bit of popularity will receive some tips during the competition."

"Our [Belloburg team] doesn't have many fans yet."

"That means they haven't shown their faces enough."

Yan Huan sat calmly on a stool to the side.

"We've only had one match, how can the audience remember it?"

"With multiple winning streaks, a single-pick pick will inevitably emerge sooner or later."

“The CEO is right.” Luca clenched his fist, quite excited.

"I must work hard to make Belloberg's name known and increase his visibility."

"By the way, who is your opponent in the first match?"

Camille immediately replied:

"His name is Dunpaifei Changying... It doesn't sound like a person's name to me."

"They may come from a civilization we are not familiar with; we must be careful of their attack methods."

"No matter how fancy the name is, it's still skill that matters on the ring." Luca was very optimistic.

"Let me analyze its composition!"

……

The main arena for the martial arts ceremony.

Amid cheers from the audience, Yan Huan and Luca stepped onto the field.

"Dear viewers, welcome back to the arena of the Starry Sky Martial Arts Ceremony!!"

"I'm your good friend—Jimi!"

Jimi, holding the microphone, introduced:

"The two sides facing off in this match are [Iron Arm] Luca and [Iron Shield]... Dunpai... Dunpai Fichangying!"

Luca's opponent was a little girl who didn't look very tall.

The girl, carrying a large shield, seemed a little nervous, sensing the gazes of the surrounding audience.

"Hello, my opponent," Luca greeted first.

"Uh... hello."

The girl scratched her cheek and said nervously.

"Let's just start fighting. I'm really not good at polite talk."

"Is that so? Okay."

Luca assumed a fighting stance, his expression serious.

"Coincidentally, I'm not very good with words either, so let's use force instead..."

'Bang--!!'

Before he could finish speaking, an airdrop crate the size of a coffin lid crashed onto the competition field.

"Wait a minute..." the girl said timidly, raising her hand.

"Let me grab my equipment first."

Luca: "?"

Chapter 969 Money Should Be Spent on the Handle

It's important to know that supplies that require donations and are airdropped in are generally not allowed to pass through security checks.

Staring at the size of the airdrop crate, Luca couldn't help but tense up.

What could it be?

Under the watchful eyes of the audience and the host, the girl opened the iron box and took out a large number of alloy parts.

She squatted down and assembled the parts one by one onto the original shield.

Once completed, the shield became taller than Luca and incredibly thick.

What Luca found most unbelievable was that the girl could actually lift such a heavy shield.

“Come on, Iron Arm,” the girl bearing the name [Iron Shield] said.

"You cannot break through my defenses."

"Wait, I have a question."

Luca stood there, staring at the enormous shield, and asked:

"Your shield certainly looks sturdy, but how am I supposed to attack it?"

"Oh, you said this."

The girl patted her shield.

"Smash it with your shield."

"?"

"Since you're not going to attack, I can demonstrate it for you first."

"Okay."

In an instant, the girl holding the shield started running wildly, pressing down on Luca like an iron tower.

She moved incredibly fast, arriving in front of Luca in five breaths, then raised her shield high and slammed it down hard on the boxer in front of her.

'boom--! ! ’

The shield landed, and the entire arena shook.

If Luca hadn't dodged quickly, he probably would have been smashed flat.

“That’s it.” The girl poked her head out from behind her shield. “My shield is very strong; it can even be used as a weapon.”

"So that's what your contestant's name meant..."

The two then started fighting.

The opponent's shield was indeed very hard. Luca seized the opportunity and punched the iron shield several times, only to find that it had no effect whatsoever.

"That's not good."

Yan Huan stood at the edge of the arena, carefully analyzing her opponent's various stats.

Putting aside how hard the shield was, the girl's physical abilities alone far surpassed those of ordinary people.

The shield was so heavy that it flew through the air, and the person carrying it moved at incredible speed.

Wouldn't she be even faster if she dropped her shield?

Regardless of equipment, the difference in physical strength alone was something Luca couldn't handle.

'boom--! ! ’

Under the onslaught of the alloy shield, Luca could only dodge and wait for the right opportunity to launch an attack.

Yan Huan silently took out her phone to check Luca's current points.

After losing about two games, your points will be reset to zero, and you will lose the qualification to continue the competition.

Losing a game now wouldn't seem like a big deal.

They just can't accumulate many fans. After winning one game, they lost again, so they can't get support from casual fans.

"Emmmmmm..."

During his contemplation, Luca attempted to attack the girl more than once.

But the opponent reacted extremely quickly, instantly adjusting the shield to the direction from which Luca attacked each time, and successfully defending against the attack.

Yan Huan stared intently, then suddenly noticed something fishy.

It wasn't that the girl had quick reflexes or strong stamina, but rather that this alloy shield possessed characteristics such as [levitation] and [automatic target acquisition].

When the girl grabbed the shield, the shield was actually floating on the ground, so she didn't need to use much strength.

When Luca attacks, the shield detects the attack and automatically turns, acting more like a floating cannon.

"It's high-tech again. No wonder I couldn't pass the security check."

Yan Huan stood at the edge of the arena, her phone screen immediately switching to the donation page...

"It's as if we can't afford to tip."

Soon, a drone floated down from the sky and dropped a metal box the size of a rice bowl onto the ground.

"Huh?" Luca turned his head and found that the metal box had fallen next to him.

"I have one too?!"

He quickly picked up the iron box and eagerly opened it while dodging the attacks from the iron shield.

A bottle of iced cola lay there quietly.
