The King's Avatar: Mathematics is King

Chapter 127 Hot-Blooded Dodgeball

"Well, the person I want to challenge is also the great Luo Ji..." Guo Shao said a little embarrassedly on the court.

Luo Ji was stunned on the sidelines. No way, no way, the treatment that should have belonged to Ye Xiu would not really fall on him, right?

“Go ahead, go ahead. Who told you not to give up the defending position to me? Since people can’t meet you in the official competition, they will come to the Rookie Challenge to find you.” Ye Xiu smiled with gloating eyes.

Luo Ji reluctantly stood up and went on stage again amid the cheers of the audience.

"Mr. Luo, I didn't expect to see you again so soon." The host greeted Luo Ji with a smile.

"I say, will there be anyone who will challenge me in the future?" Luo Ji asked directly.

"Uh... I don't think so, but it's hard to say." The host was vague.

"It's true." Luo Ji said helplessly.

However, he knew in his heart that it was impossible for him to be treated the same way as Ye Xiu in the original novel. After all, he was also a rookie, unlike a veteran like Ye Xiu.

Another point is that, although he himself failed to pass the rookie challenge, other rookies of Xingxin succeeded, so he was sure that it was impossible for all rookies to challenge him, and there might be only one or two at most.

"Well, there's only one left, seriously, I swear." The host said with sweat on his forehead.

"Well, if there are only three of them, it's not bad." Luo Ji nodded.

"Then Mr. Guo, why did you choose Luo Shen as your opponent?" The host turned to ask Mr. Guo.

"I wanted to play against Luo Shen in the league before, but unfortunately I didn't get to do so." Guo Shao said with some regret.

“……” Luo Ji was speechless.

Ye Xiu's bad words really came true. These newcomers of the same period as him saw him shining on the court, but in the end they had no chance to compete with him in a one-on-one match, so they set their sights on the Rookie Challenge.

Fortunately, the organizer did something, otherwise Luo Ji believed that there would be more than three people who signed up to challenge him.

A few minutes later...

"Keep it up." Luo Ji said with a smile.

"I feel the gap is so huge." Guo Shao looked sad.

“So keep working hard.” Luo Ji smiled.

"Well, I will keep working hard." Guo Shao is an optimist and soon became full of fighting spirit again.

"Okay, I look forward to seeing you on the field next time." Luo Ji nodded.

"Thank you both for the wonderful game." The host walked over and said.

"Oh, is the next game about to start? Then quickly ask him to come up." Luo Ji said.

He remembered that the host had just vowed that there was only one person who would challenge him, so he quickly finished his work and returned to his seat to watch the show.

"Okay, let's welcome the next rookie." The host nodded.

The third player who came up to challenge made Luo Ji feel a little enlightened, because he was also a summoner player.

"Please give me more guidance, Master Luo." The rookie summoner player said respectfully.

"Let's learn from each other." Luo Ji replied politely, and then asked, "By the way, what style do you play?"

"Elf flow." The rookie summoner replied.

"Okay, come on." Luo Ji nodded.

After a while...

"Did you gain anything?" Luo Ji said to the rookie summoner with a smile.

"Thank you very much for Luo Shen's guidance." The rookie summoner's tone was more respectful this time.

In the battle just now, Luo Ji treated it as a coaching match. This rookie player was not stupid, so he naturally learned a lot.

"Thank you very much to both of you for contributing to this wonderful game. Luo Shen's magnanimity also allowed us to see the most important scene of the Rookie Challenge. I think this is also the original intention of setting up this project." The host said loudly.

Inside the venue, the applause lasted for a long time.

Indeed, the original intention of the Rookie Challenge was to allow the senior masters to give more guidance to the newcomers who came from weak teams and usually did not receive any guidance from the masters.

But as time went by, this rookie challenge gradually changed.

Especially when Tang Hao said "overcome the strong with the weak", the Rookie Challenge became a place of fame and fortune and a means for some ambitious newcomers to try to get to the top.

And now, Luo Ji used this coaching match to make the rookie challenge briefly return to its original state.

Although this may not have much effect, it is still worth remembering.

The host did not lie to Luo Ji. After this summoner rookie player, the fourth rookie to appear was indeed not the one to challenge him.

Because the fourth rookie player to appear was none other than Baozi Invasion from their Xingxin team.

The person he challenged was the current number one rogue, the top player of the Howling Team, Tang Hao.

If it was before, facing the challenge of a newcomer, Tang Hao would most likely defeat the opponent very quickly and forcefully, letting him know his own limitations.

But with Luo Ji’s excellent performance in the last match, Tang Hao really didn’t have the nerve to do that.

Although the final challenge match did not turn out to be a coaching match like Luo Ji's, Tang Hao did not go too far, and Baozi did gain something.

As for the result of the game, Tang Hao's personal strength is still very good. It is quite difficult to defeat such an opponent just relying on Baozi's sometimes-ineffective and sometimes-offline performance.

"Thank you very much for the great guidance." After the game, Baozi also said to Tang Hao like the rookie player in the previous game.

"Well, you have good talent, keep working hard." Tang Hao also gave Baozi some rare encouragement.

In the fifth game, the player who took the field was Baihua rookie Zeng Xinran, and his opponent was also Tang Hao.

This game is also interesting, because the account Zeng Xinran is currently using is the same DeLillo that Tang Hao used when he was in Baihua.

Faced with this once very familiar account, Tang Hao was filled with mixed emotions.

In the end, this game was once again played like a coaching match, which also made the atmosphere on the scene extremely friendly.

In the sixth game, Xingxin’s rookie Mo Fan challenged the current No. 1 ninja of Glory, Li Hua of the Misty Rain Team.

Mo Fan didn't sign up for the Rookie Challenge with the intention of seeking advice, he really wanted to beat Li Hua.

Unfortunately, their strength was still slightly inferior and they ultimately lost.

However, Li Hua was also frightened by him and broke out in a cold sweat. He almost lost.

At the end of the game, Li Hua's Lin Ancao Jing had less than 10% of his health left.

This is because Li Hua is very clear about the strength of the newcomer Happy. From the beginning, he did not think about playing a coaching match with Luo Ji and Tang Hao, but went all out. Fortunately, he went all out from the beginning, otherwise the audience might have seen another good show of a rookie defeating an old star.

In the last match, the player who played was Song Qiying, a rookie from the host team Tyranny, and his opponent was Ye Xiu.

“I say, shouldn’t you challenge Lao Han? Look at the previous few games, he was challenging top players in the same profession.” Ye Xiu complained as soon as he came on the court.

“Please give me your guidance, senior.” Song Qiying spoke in a proper manner, as if he didn’t hear Ye Xiu’s complaints.

"Okay, okay, then let's just have a fight." Ye Xiu said perfunctorily.

As a newcomer, Song Qiying's ability is pretty good.

But if compared with Ye Xiu, he is still far behind.

Even though Ye Xiu did play casually in the end, he still defeated Tyranny's rookie very easily.

The Rookie Challenge ended here, and after some performance programs arranged by the organizer, the first day of the All-Star Weekend was completely over.

After a short break, the second day of the All-Star Weekend soon arrived.

Compared with the first day, the content of the second day was more substantial and had a certain degree of interactivity with the scene. Two years ago, Luo Ji and his colleagues also appeared on stage on this day.

Similar fun activities are still scheduled for this year's All-Star Weekend.

The content of the event was already announced in the All-Star Weekend promotion. The first event to be held was the exciting dodgeball.

It is called dodgeball, but in fact it is more like the sandbag throwing game played by the people.

The rules are that three people from each team take the field, and then each team attacks and defends for a round, and the winner is determined by the time it takes to complete the game.

The event is planning to organize eight teams, five of which are professional teams and the other three are composed of on-site audiences.

Players from five professional teams quickly gathered on the field, namely, Happy, Samsara, Thunder, Weicao, and Magic Team.

The reason why the Miracle Team was able to get in was purely because of their identity as a new team.

The players sent by five teams, from Samsara side, were deputy captain Jiang Botao, Wu Qi and Du Ming.

The Thunder was led by Xiao Shiqin himself, along with Dai Yanqi and Lu Yining.

The players of Vici Gaming are Gao Yingjie, Liu Xiaobie and Zhou Yebai.

The magic ones are Shen Jian, Guo Shao and Jia Xing.

As for Xingxin, it was vice-captain Luo Ji with Baozi and Wei Chen.

In fact, after reading the rules, Luo Ji said that he had no pressure in taking on three people at once in this activity.

Baozi likes to join in the fun so we brought him along, and Wei Chen seldom plays in official games due to his old age, so he can only come and play without pressure in entertainment activities like the All-Star Weekend.

Five teams of contestants came on stage, and then the audience was drawn. Nine lucky audience members were drawn one after another. Each of them was inevitably asked some questions like which team they supported, which player they liked, etc. It took a lot of time for the nine people to go through all this.

The nine spectators were randomly divided into three groups, and the opponents were randomly arranged on the spot.

In the end, Xingxin's opponent was the Samsara Team.

"Oh, that's great. I actually drew Samsara. Let's take revenge for the last team competition first." Luo Ji said with a smile.

"hohoho... Revenge! Revenge!" Baozi was extremely passionate.

"With me here, reincarnation will be easy to achieve." Wei Chen said confidently.

Luo Ji and his friends were just joking for fun, but the Xingxin fans at the scene joined in the fun.

"Revenge, revenge, destroy the reincarnation!"

Fans of other teams were speechless. Looking at the points in that round, you were just tied with Samsara 5-5, and you were the visiting team. What kind of revenge are you taking?

"Do we want to decide the winner here?" Jiang Botao from Samsara also came over with great interest and started chatting with Luo Ji and the others.

Luo Ji glanced at him and said with a smile: "Although deputy captains are quite fair to deputy captains, according to the rules of this activity, if I fight against the three of you alone, you won't stand a chance. Do you believe it?"

"Hehe..." Jiang Botao smiled without saying anything, looking like he didn't believe it at all.

"Wait, both of you, don't move. I'll teach them a lesson." Luo Ji said to Baozi and Wei Chen with a smile.

"Okay, deputy captain." Baozi replied immediately.

"There's really no need for me to take action against a small character like Samsara." Wei Chen pretended to be mysterious.

The communication between Xingxin and Samsara was not done in secret. When the audience heard that Luo Ji was going to take on three people alone, they were undoubtedly excited. No one thought there was too much to watch.

The event officially began soon. The first to take the stage were Vici Gaming and a group of lucky audience members. The host on site began to introduce the rules of the game to the audience. Although it was explained in the preview in advance, there were always people who did not read it beforehand.

The rules are actually very simple, just like the sandbag throwing game that children usually play.

In a closed, fixed venue, one side attacks with a sandbag while the other side defends. If the sandbag touches a part of the body, the character must leave the venue. However, if the defending side catches the sandbag, the number of hits can be increased by one.

The game officially begins, and Weicao attacks first.

It only took more than a minute for all the player teams to be cleared out of the field, and this was the result of the Weicao team clearly holding back.

Next, it was Weicao's turn to defend, and after easily holding out for the last round of play, they allowed the opponent to hit them at will, ending the game.

The second game was a showdown between two teams of lucky players. This time the competition was much more lively since the players were of similar strength after all.

In the third game, it was the turn of Xingxin and Samsara to face off. They drew lots for attack and defense. Samsara drew lots for attack and Xingxin drew lots for defense.

The characters entered the map, Baozi Invasion and Yingfeng Set up Formation and went directly to the two back corners, obviously preparing to let Luo Ji fight one against three.

At the beginning of the game, Luo Ji's Mei Guang immediately used all his strength to release the summoning spell and began to summon his own army of summoned beasts.

On the Samsara side, the sandbags were first refreshed in the hands of Du Ming's swordsman Wu Shuang Gou Yue.

He did not throw the sandbag directly, but cut through it in three sections and rushed directly towards Mei Guang, obviously wanting to close the distance first and then kill with one blow.

Seeing an opening, Wu Shuang Gou Yue threw the sandbag in his hand towards Mei Guang.

As a result, just before it was about to hit, a little elf appeared out of nowhere and blocked the sandbag.

According to the rules, the elf was naturally teleported out of the field in the blink of an eye.

The sandbag that was blocked was caught steadily in Mei Guang's hand.

The rules state that after receiving the sandbag, it must be thrown out within three seconds for the attacking team to pick up.

Luo Ji didn't hesitate and threw the sandbag at his own demon flower.

Du Ming vomited blood directly. Although he was quite close to the sandbag, the flower of the demon world had a lot of controls. It would not be easy to pick up the sandbag unless he killed it first.
