Seeing Luca's change in demeanor, Qiong began to doubt her own words.

"So, you're here to get insulted? You've gotten into the habit of insulting people? That's interesting."

Qiong found the changing room backstage. "Let's wash this first."

The scalding hot water poured down, and the oil stains on the clothes flowed onto the ground along with the hot water.

"All done, now just need to dry it a bit. The living die first, the strong are supported by the weak!"

A raging fire burned beside him, billowing steam and billowing white smoke.

"Fire attribute is so convenient. If it were my senior brother...would he have to peel it off piece by piece?"

......

Luca, who had just arrived in the ring, was stunned. "Hook? How...how is it you? How is this possible? How did you get to this point?"

Hook looked speechless. "Brother Luca, you're so stupid! How could I possibly participate?"

"Not you? Then who could it be? Ling Ke? Wait... it couldn't be..."

"Luca, it's me." Schwarz walked step by step from below the stage, the red-glowing camera head focusing on Luca's right arm.

Chapter 406 They were taught by the same master, so their skill sets are identical.

Schwarzko scanned Luca's data. "I think I need to apologize to you. Because, according to my calculations, it's almost impossible for us to win. So, based on the results, I chose to register for the martial arts ceremony."

"From a rational point of view, this would have increased the feasibility. But in terms of results, it failed. We have to fight a civil war."

"Um... Mr. Schwarz, I really didn't expect that after playing for so long, I would run into an acquaintance in the last match."

Luca clenched his fists. "Based on mathematical probability, I did lose last time. But this time, I have variables at my disposal. I don't think I'll lose."

The red light in Schwarzkopf's eyes kept flashing. "Luca, your calculations are correct. The result this time is indeed unknown. Your training and your intact right arm have become the variables in this competition."

“I am an obsolete robot. No matter how much training I do, it will only wear out my parts. But you are different. You are now nearly 42.47 times stronger than you were a few days ago.”

"Come on, Mr. Schwarz, I'll let you witness... my variables."

The battle was about to break out, and Luca simply kept throwing punches to block the missiles fired by Schwarzkopf.

"Not enough, this level of power is insufficient. A missile of this magnitude... is far from enough!"

According to the "no harm from smoke" principle, Luca's defense was not breached at all.

"Victory... no!"

Before the punch could land on Schwarz's breastplate, he changed his fist into a palm and knocked Schwarz over with one blow.

Schwarz rose from the ground. "15% damage to the external armor, Luca, you win."

“According to calculations, this is not your best level, but you still beat me. However, with this level of skill, the chances of winning against the defending swordsman are still slim.”

“I’m not trying to discourage you; this is the result of calculations. I’ve seen that defending swordsman, and his strength… is beyond calculation.”

Luca paused upon hearing this, then said, "It's nothing, I... never imagined—the scene of victory."

Schwarzro sensed Luca's discouragement, "But my calculations aren't important to you either. Only when you experience it firsthand can you make the right judgment."

"Unexpectedly, Luca once again annihilated his opponent. It seems the previous robotic arm was his limiter? Regardless of the truth, the result remains unchanged: the winner is—'Iron Arm' Luca!"

After Jimmy announced the results, Luca and Schwarz walked off the ring.

"how do you feel?"

Luca looked up and saw Qiong leaning against the wall of the audience, smiling at him. "An unexpected result? Fortunately, this martial arts ceremony is not the kind of competition for first place."

"Otherwise, we'll have one between us. Watch closely, I'm about to give you an imperfect lesson."

Upon hearing those three words, Luca inexplicably thought of his mechanical arm. "Imperfect? ​​Uh... Demon King, don't you even have confidence in yourself?"

"No, because perfection doesn't exist. I'll try my best to defeat my senior. It might not be of much use to you, but at least it'll give you a benchmark. That way, you can lose more gracefully." Qiong, holding a baseball bat, slowly walked towards the ring.

As Qiong's figure receded into the distance, a red light flickered in Schwarz's eyes. "The target's power level is also beyond the calculation range."

......

Qiong stood on the arena, pointing his baseball bat at the person opposite him, "Senior brother, it's time for you to show yourself!"

Yanqing removed the tiny ice crystals from his body, and the direct sunlight was no longer refracted, gradually revealing his figure. "Sure enough, this trick can't fool you."

"Oh, Legendary Wild... wait, why did you change your name too?" Jimi looked at the long list of names and felt his head buzzing.

"Ahem, the blue team's contestant is the Nameless Guest from the Starry Sky Train, the Eternal Legend—the Undefeated Otherworldly Warrior—the inheritor of hope born from despair. He faces his final battle. In this match, he will directly confront... our champion, Yan Qing..."

"Even the champion has changed? Does that mean the longer the name, the stronger the champion? Ahem... Face our Red Team champion head-on—the Fearless Dagger—the formidable Swordsman Candidate—the Ice Blade Master who cuts through darkness and cowardice!"

Jimi is starting to panic. How did such a long name get approved? What's going on in the backend?

The spectators watching the game were stunned. Just by hearing the name, they realized it was something from an online game, either the full name of a BOSS or a title worn by a player.

"Fierce Tiger, did you teach him how to name things?"

In response to Jing Yuan's immediate accusations, Hua Wu countered, "Would I give them such names? Don't try to pin every supernatural event on me. I could say you taught them. After all, I teach physical education, and you teach academics."

Jingyuan: ......

"But this name looks exactly like the one you taught me."

"This couldn't possibly be something I taught them; I wouldn't give someone such a long name. On the contrary, I don't need to explain your full name, Divine Lord, do I?"

Faced with Hua Wu's questioning and counter-questioning, Jing Yuan was completely speechless. Could it really be that he taught him?

"Could it really be me...?"

......

"Ladies and gentlemen, without further ado, let's see who emerges victorious in this match!"

On the ring, Qiong gripped the baseball bat tightly. "Senior brother, I will do my best to defeat you."

“Junior brother, being able to stand here makes you a first-rate warrior. However, this competition needs to be somewhat entertaining, so I won’t go all out from the start.”

"Use determination as your sword and conviction as your edge."

Yanqing conjured a frost sword and held it in his hand.

"Entertainment value... okay. Let's start with the performance—"

Qiong puts Tong Xie's magic hat on his head, holds a fire spear in his right hand and a baseball bat in his left.

"Slumbering for hope, guarding against destruction. Sleeping heroes, lingering obsessions of the past, I invite you all to rise!"

Half black, half white, golden light flows beneath the cracks of the black phantom, while crimson flames burn beneath the cracks of the white phantom.

Half black, half white, these shadows of the past are like the wings of demons and angels.

Yanqing stared at the shadows behind Qiong. "There seem to be more people... and they've become stronger than before?"

Not to be outdone, he wasn't going to back down. Since it was going to be a group fight, he wasn't lacking in skills either. "Thousand Mirrors, Myriad Images!"

As a result, the scene changed from a one-person battle to a battle involving a large group of people.

"A miraculous thing happened! Both sides have almost identical moves. Whether it's the phantoms behind the blue team's player or the clones behind the red team's champion, they are almost all skills that allow one person to take on ten thousand enemies."

Faced with the names on the teleprompter, Jimi chose to call out "Blue Team" and "Red Team" directly, since it was his own mouth to say it.

"No wonder they are fellow disciples, even their moves and skills are so similar."

Chapter 407 The Vanished Martial Virtue

"Star Ace, Heavenly Fire Meltdown!"

"Splitting stars and shattering the moon, the waning moon shines eternally!"

Qiong and Yanqing are now like two online game bosses meeting, engaging in a simple and brutal exchange of blows.

There's no mechanic; it's purely a battle of numbers, and whoever switches to their second form first loses.

Baseball bat and fire spear, frost sword and array blade, the two dual-wielding fighters fought like two tabby cats in their spiny dragon form.

The scene of their battle was completely obscured; all that could be seen was thunder and fire occasionally erupting from a cloud of steam.

As for their nearly platoonful summoned creatures, they had long since been reduced to a pile of rubble.

They were only two people, but they managed to create the effect of two hundred people.

The two men's upper bodies swayed in the wind like wild grass in a storm, while their lower bodies remained as still as pine trees on a mountain.

The audience seats —

"This nameless passenger on the Starry Sky Train is so fierce? No wonder he only fought one match despite using connections... If he hadn't used connections... tsk tsk tsk..."

"Who can argue with that? This person is actually a fellow disciple of the champion... I didn't believe it at first, but now I have no choice but to believe it."

"Indeed, they look like they were taught by the same master; their moves are almost identical."

......

"Senior brother, your sword moves are so airtight, there's no way to find a flaw."

“Junior brother, your staff and spear techniques are also impenetrable, with no way to break through them.”

The two suddenly exchanged a final blow.

"boom----!"

The accumulated moisture, the phantoms and clones in the arena, all disappeared in the aftershocks of this attack.

The two exchanged a glance and both understood what the other was thinking.

"The Milky Way covers the river, and the frost returns to dreams!"

"The amber reignites, its flames blazing across the sky!"

The two activated their domain skills simultaneously, undoubtedly a battle of stats and mana.

The raging fire clashed with the bone-chilling frost, yet the boundary between them remained unchanged.

"When did you learn this move, Junior Brother?"

"I learned this move from you, senior brother. It's about projecting power outwards; it's pretty simple."

"It's not simply about releasing power; the original purpose of this move is to protect the surrounding environment."
