After the archive is damaged, I live in another world

Overall, the Adventurer's Cup is a stepping stone.

It's still a not very useful stepping stone.

Most cup champions will not be taken seriously and will not be able to participate in the league. What is more important is that the champion of the Adventurer's Cup has a privilege -

"Team formation qualifications".

In order to make the Adventurer's Cup more respected, the Holy Spirit Duel officials made a promise to the cup champion: the player who won the cup championship that year would be eligible to form a team.

Champions can form their own teams to participate in the second or first division leagues, or they can choose to sell their licenses in exchange for money.

Xu Mu thought for a moment, then spoke to the adventurer drinking beer beside him: "Brother, how much does it cost to set up a team?"

The adventurer, holding his wine glass, glanced at the information in Xu Mu's hand and said with a hint of disdain, "The qualification for the last session... I remember it was sold for 80,000 gold coins."

"so much?"

"The boss has money, do you have any law?"

Oops.

Xu Mu put the information back into the bag and looked at the "Strongest Duel Hall" across the street from the adventurers.

There was a constant stream of people in front of the duel hall.

Counting the days, the regional competition would start the day after tomorrow morning. Without much thought, Xu Mu decided to go to the duel hall to experience it first.

There was something he wanted to confirm.

……

……

"How much? One gold coin an hour? Why don't you just go rob people!"

A few minutes later.

In the duel hall.

Xu Mu was stunned, spreading his hands and looking at the handsome guy behind the counter.

The handsome guy was very friendly. He smiled and said, "Sir, as you know, the regional competition starts the day after tomorrow. Business has been booming these past two days. To provide the best service to all our customers, all our staff are working incredibly hard. So... if you think it's expensive, why don't you come on weekdays? It's only fifty silver coins an hour on weekdays."

I really am...

Why would I come to your place on weekdays?

I'm so bored!

Xu Mu could understand the price. It was a special period and demand was insufficient to meet supply.

Under normal circumstances, he would just grit his teeth and do it.

but now……

How could he have a single gold coin on him?

After killing the Goblin King, I got some spoils of war. Among them, the "Power Core" and "Goblin King's Ring" are still worth some money. Why not exchange them for some money first and then come back to take a look.

Xu Mu was about to leave while thinking about this when he suddenly thought of something.

He turned and asked, "Hey man, are there dueling cabins in places like the Military Police?"

The handsome man still maintained his smile. "Of course. Dueling chambers have long been commonplace. They are the best training equipment. Not only the military police, but also the army, larger adventure groups, and wealthy families have dueling chambers."

Oh?

Captain Nanasha, here I come again.

Gendarmerie.

Nanasha's office.

"Dong dong dong."

There was a knock on the door, and a military policeman opened it and came in, saying, "Captain Nanasha, that Xu Mu from the day before yesterday is here again. He said he has something to see you about."

Nanasha sighed: "This bastard treats the military police as his own garden."

"Asshole! I'm kicking him out right now!"

"No need. Tell him to wait for me in the training room and call Frosha."

The military police quickly agreed and invited Xu Mu to the training room.

But a moment later, Nanasha came over with a blond man.

Before Xu Mu could speak, Nanasha spoke first, "You want to experience the duel chamber, right?"

Xu Mu clasped his hands together and said with a wry smile, "Brilliant! Captain Nanasha, you're truly brilliant! Isn't the competition the day after tomorrow? I came here specifically to experience the duel chamber, as a way to acclimate myself in advance."

"Humph."

Nanasha gave him a half-hearted look, then said, "This is Frosha, an outstanding young man in the Military Police. Like you, he's participating in this Adventurer's Cup. Why don't you two have a clash here?"

The blond man in the dark blue uniform was very enthusiastic.

He stepped forward, shook Xu Mu's hand vigorously, and said with a smile, "Hello, Mr. Xu!"

"Ahh... hello."

Xu Mu took a closer look. This Florosa had small eyes and a flat nose. He wasn't very good looking, but his arms were strong.

more importantly--

The calluses on his hands are so thick that you can tell just by touching them that he is a very hardworking person.

Froza continued, "I heard about Mr. Xu. He was able to defeat a Goblin King single-handedly? That's impressive! Compared to you, I still have a lot to work on."

What?

What are you doing.

Why are you suddenly so polite? Is there any ill intention behind it?

Xu Mu raised his hand and said, "It was pure luck. The Goblin King had just been reborn, and his strength was far from peak."

Frosha's eyes were blazing, and being looked at by him like that, far from feeling offended, gave people a sense of sincerity.

He continued, "Don't be so modest. Even the newly born Goblin King possesses enough destructive power. I still need to work hard and learn from you!"

This……

I can’t talk any more!

Not only Xu Mu couldn't stand it, Nanasha was also fed up with it.

She said coldly, "Stop the polite talk and enter the duel chamber. According to regulations, the military police training room must close before 8 pm. We only have... half an hour left. Xu Mu, pick a duel chamber you like and lie down."

Chapter 21 #021 Little brother, you can’t do it

There were few people in the gendarmerie at night.

There were only three people in the training room.

Frosha was experienced. He lay down directly in the duel cabin and appeared in the field in the "Holy Spirit form" in just a moment.

"Wow."

Xu Mu was very brave. When he saw Frosha in his Holy Spirit form, he walked up to him and touched him: "Frosha, can I touch you?"

The translucent Frosha smiled and said, "No. Holy Spirits can only touch Holy Spirits. Talking to others is fine, but that's all. Furthermore, Holy Spirits can only move within a specific area. I can't leave this room."

Wow, magical.

Xu Mu's palm penetrated Frosha's body, and there was no strange feeling on his palm.

He glanced at the duel chamber and asked, "What would happen if I attacked your body now?"

Without even looking up, Nanasha warned, "Xu Mu, that was a criminal declaration. I have the right to knock you down."

"..."

What are you doing?

Just a joke.

Frosha was much more honest. He explained, "My body is very fragile now. If I can't return to my body in time, I will be killed by you without any resistance."

"It's too scary..."

Asked everything.

Xu Mu decided to get to the bottom of it: "Is it possible that I won't be able to return to my body? What if something unexpected happens and I can only maintain the Holy Spirit for the rest of my life? Wouldn't that make me like a ghost?"

Froza smiled and said, "Don't worry about that. At least, there's never been such a situation in history. Maintaining the Holy Spirit state will continuously consume 'spiritual energy'. If the spiritual energy is insufficient, it will be forcibly returned to the body. In addition, being attacked will also reduce spiritual energy. In a Holy Spirit Duel, spiritual energy is life force."

It turned out to be the case.

Xu Mu finally felt relieved. He followed Nanasha's instructions and lay down in the duel cabin.

This is a long box that is 50 cm wide, 60 cm high and two meters long. If it weren't for the exquisite carvings and rune arrays on it, it would look like a coffin.

To be honest, it's a bit narrow to lie down in.

He followed the instructions, spreading his hands to the left and right, and placed them on the runes on both sides of the duel cabin.

The next moment, the magic power in his body surged out, activating the rune. Deep blue liquid suddenly emerged from the cabin, gradually submerging him!

The panic lasted only a moment.

The next moment, Xu Mu felt a "leap feeling", as if his body jumped out from the duel cabin.

Then I looked left and right again——

Oh.

His body had become translucent and he had successfully entered the state of Holy Spirit.

He bounced around, feeling no different than usual: "I'm ready!"

Frosha got ready and said, "Then Mr. Xu, I'm going to do it."

"bring it on!"

"Haha!"

Frosha, moving like the wind! He took a step forward and punched Xu Mu in the face.

Xu Mu saw every detail of this punch. He grasped the direction of the punch, and his brain quickly analyzed the situation, and in an instant he formulated a means of counterattack. However—

"Oh!"

"Well!"

This punch hit Xu Mu!

No way.

The top-notch awareness developed during three years of gaming is still there, but Xu Mu's attributes are really bad now.

His body obviously couldn't keep up with his brain. Frosha was quite skilled and much faster than the clumsy Goblin King. He deserved the punch.

Frosha was shocked. He thought to himself, "That's it? No way."

On the other side, Nanasha also raised her eyebrows, but her face did not show any further expression.

"Mr. Xu, focus!"

Froza roared and attacked again.

One punch, hit.

One kick, hit.

A roundhouse kick, another hit!

Frosha launched a series of swift attacks, which made Xu Mu unable to defend himself. He was defeated step by step and could no longer stand steadily.

"This……"

Frosha stopped moving, looking at Xu Mu with some confusion, and asked, "Mr. Xu, what's wrong with you? You're welcome. You can use all your abilities. We in the Holy Spirit state won't be hurt, at most we'll be mentally depressed."

Not right.
