Chapter 801: Divine Sword and Armor
"What a divine weapon."
"It must be very cold around this sword; I feel a chill through the screen..."
"Maybe you forgot to close the window; it's winter."
"Hey, it really is."
"Can you not be so funny, I'm appreciating the treasure sword!"
"By the way, does this sword have a name?"
………………
One person started, and many fans also asked, wanting to know the name of this sword.
Miss Luo Quan thought for a while, lowered her head and smiled: "I didn't know its name before, but now I want to call it Excalibur."
"What a strange name, but why do I feel so familiar? As if I've heard it somewhere."
"Can you read it with a Japanese accent? Does it feel more familiar?"
"I rely on, isn't this the transliteration of Excalibur?"
"Can do, Luobao, this is manga into reality."
"Then can this sword emit 'Curry Stick'?"
"It can probably in the special effects."
………………
Watching the fans tease, Miss Luo Quan smiled and didn't explain.
How could they know that the sword in her hand is the real Excalibur.
However, it is estimated that even if she lost, not many people would believe it.
After all, King Arthur's deeds were originally legends, and there is actually no record in history books.
Regarding the appearance of Excalibur, it is also passed down by word of mouth; who knows what it looks like.
Unlike the Imperial Jade Seal, it has been clearly recorded, and it has been circulating for hundreds of years, and it is real.
So when Miss Luo Quan took Xiao Yu to those experts for testing, they almost confirmed its identity on the spot.
As for Da Hei, there really wasn't any expert who dared to easily draw a conclusion.
This is like someone in China claiming that they found the Ruyi Jingu Bang used by Sun Wukong back then; which expert would dare to come out and do an appraisal?
In the end, it was detected that the year of the stick was in the Tang Dynasty, and Wu Cheng'en was a person of the Ming Dynasty...
In short, Miss Luo Quan directly called out Da Hei's real name, but she wasn't afraid that its identity would be leaked.
And the fans only thought that Miss Luo Quan was a Type-Moon fan, so she got a treasure sword in the UK and called it Excalibur.
Of course, what to call it is her business.
As long as her strength is strong enough and she can win consecutive battles in the next competition, then this sword will definitely be recognized by people.
If she really won the championship in the end, it wouldn't be a problem to call it Tessaiga or Tensa Zangetsu.
And for Miss Luo Quan's strength, the fans were still very relieved.
The competition starts the day after tomorrow, and fans with channels have already placed bets on her.
Of course, most of them just wanted to earn some pocket money, betting only a few hundred or a thousand yuan, belonging to the stage of entertainment.
However, these fans definitely didn't dare to tell Miss Luo Quan, because Miss Luo Quan was very opposed to everyone doing such things, and she had to criticize every time she heard it.
"By the way, Luobao, do you really not plan to get a set of armor? Even a bulletproof vest is fine; after all, swords have no eyes."
Some fans said with concern.
"No need, wearing these might affect my performance instead, but I will wear a helmet to protect the more fragile parts."
Fans knew that it was very difficult to change the things Miss Luo Quan decided, so they didn't persuade her anymore.
As for her family, they mentioned this to her more than once; in the end, Miss Luo Quan couldn't stand everyone's soft and hard persuasion, so she put on a bulletproof vest and elbow and knee pads.
With the financial resources of the Albert family, they could actually customize a set of close-fitting armor, which wouldn't affect Miss Luo Quan's actions too much.
But time was a bit too late, so let's see if it could be in place before the final.
Two days later, while China was still immersed in the happy atmosphere of the Spring Festival, Europe also started the Europa Warrior Championship happily.
There were contestants from more than 20 countries and regions participating, totaling more than 300 people.
Among them, the British, Russian, and French royal families and the Holy See sent the most people, and the German royal family sent fewer, just coming to join in the fun.
It is worth mentioning that Japan sent quite a few kendo masters this time, saying they were prepared to make a fortune in this competition.
If it were a few of the four great sword saints, it would be worth watching.
However, those who can become sword saints have high ideological awareness and have long passed the age of fighting with others, so it is estimated that they disdain to participate in this kind of competition.
And in this world-renowned fighting competition, Miss Luo Quan was not the only Chinese contestant.
Besides her, there was also a Taoist priest named Daoist Yu Ting participating.
This Taoist priest came from the Heavenly Master's Mansion of Longhu Mountain; he was the ninth disciple of the current Heavenly Master, said to be gifted and have extremely high martial strength, and often went to spar with the Taoist brothers of Wudang.
When curious netizens asked Cheng Shixing Taoist priest who was better between him and Daoist Yu Ting Taoist priest, Cheng Taoist priest actually said his cultivation was not as good as this junior brother.
Although there may be an element of modesty, being able to get such an evaluation is enough to prove Daoist Yu Ting Taoist priest's strength.
So besides Miss Luo Quan, Daoist Yu Ting naturally became one of the contestants most concerned by Chinese netizens in this competition.
The place where the competition was held was a prototype arena filled with sand.
It looked very much like the Colosseum in ancient Rome, but this time there was no life-and-death fight between humans and lions for the audience to enjoy; that was too barbaric and bloody.
The competition system of the Europa Warrior Championship was very simple: five people in a group fought in the arena, and only one could advance.
Quite cruel, and also very efficient.
The group Miss Luo Quan was in was arranged for the opening today.
It is estimated that they wanted to use her popularity to get a good start.
And this time, three of her opponents were servants raised by nobles, each burly and imposing, living and taking the physique of a world deadlift champion.
There was also one who was a noble himself, but this noble's reputation had not been very good recently.
Because this young man came from the Bonaparte family.
Not long ago, the case of the arson and theft at Notre-Dame de Paris was solved, and the culprits were those few temporary workers from the Bonaparte family.
These temporary workers have currently fled overseas, and Interpol is chasing them all over the world, swearing to bring them to justice and give the French people an explanation.
However, while the official promises sounded quite righteous, everyone knew that the mastermind behind this incident was definitely the Bonaparte family.
Those few temporary workers were merely scapegoats; now that they have run abroad, the world is so big that it will be difficult to catch them and bring them back.
And the Bonaparte family managed to distance themselves completely from this case.
Apart from netizens cursing them until they were battered and bruised, they hadn't been subjected to much formal questioning by the police in reality.
Although they successfully escaped legal sanctions, they could not escape the people's fury.
As soon as this young Bonaparte named Avelan appeared, the entire audience erupted in boos, mixed with quite a few curses.
Avelan's expression, however, was very calm, as if he had long anticipated such a situation, looking like a dead pig that isn't afraid of boiling water.
And following right behind Avelan was the favorite to win this tournament, our international superstar Miss Luo Quan.
To be honest, many foreign netizens still couldn't believe they could see her here, always feeling it was somewhat unreal.
But the domestic fans accepted it quite quickly, and they had already made up jokes.
They said that after Miss Luo Quan mastered her divine arts, she had nowhere to display her martial skills, and one could say her hands were itching.
But because she loves her country and its people, she couldn't bear to strike against her own countrymen, so she signed up for an overseas fighting competition; this way, she could satisfy her craving without violating her own principles—after all, Chinese people don't fight Chinese people.
Subsequently, domestic netizens laughed and praised her as a true Chinese "Wolf Warrior" woman, saying that if she weren't in Wolf Warrior 3, everyone wouldn't bother watching it.
Truth be told, Wu Jin really did have the thought of letting Miss Luo Quan play the female lead in Wolf Warrior 3, and even arranged quite a lot of action scenes for her.
However, the script is still being polished, and who knows how long it will take until filming actually begins.
As for those previous jokes, they were just netizens' daily teasing of Miss Luo Quan.
Miss Luo Quan's fans all like to joke with her, and they know she can take it.
And whether domestically or abroad, Miss Luo Quan's popularity is the absolute peak.
Just as she appeared, nearly eighty percent of the audience in the arena stood up to cheer for her, and some even set off prepared fireworks to celebrate her victory in advance.
"Miss Luo Quan, can you give me an autograph after the fight?" Three burly men were also transformed into fanboys at this moment, speaking to Miss Luo Quan in a friendly manner.
That's how it is when you're popular; no matter what you do, you can run into fans.
But it was a bit strange in this kind of setting, after all, everyone would be opponents trading blows in a moment.
But Miss Luo Quan has always been generous to her fans, so she nodded and agreed quite readily.
She glanced at Avelan next to her; since he didn't come to find her, he probably wasn't a fan.
But that's fine too; with five people in a match, and four being her own fans, winning might lead to accusations of throwing the fight.
Other spectators hadn't reacted yet, but those who had bet on contestants other than Miss Luo Quan started to feel uneasy.
This perfectly good match has turned into a fan meeting; where is the referee? Shouldn't they be doing something about this?
Sorry, the referee is actually a fan too, and before Miss Luo Quan went on stage, they had already gone backstage to ask her for an autograph.
Thinking of this, Miss Luo Quan couldn't help but want to laugh: the contestants and the referee are all my people, what are you going to fight me with?
But before she could laugh out loud, the bell signaling the start of the match rang.
The expressions of the people on the field changed abruptly; two of the burly men charged directly at Miss Luo Quan wielding their greatswords, while the remaining one kept a close eye on Avelan.
"Oh come on, you guys really are fans; two against one, and with such coordination—you didn't plan this, did you?"
Miss Luo Quan complained while retreating, thinking to herself how these men could turn their backs faster than flipping a book.
"Sorry, Miss Luo Quan, we really are your fans, but once the match starts, we are opponents, so we definitely have to give it our all!"
The burly man with the beard apologized to her while fiercely swinging his giant hammer toward Miss Luo Quan.
Miss Luo Quan's figure was agile, and she easily dodged the strike.
The hammer smashed into the ground, shaking the loose sand half a meter high; the force was truly astonishing.
And the one besieging Miss Luo Quan along with the bearded man was a bald man holding a battle axe; when he swung the axe, it also made a whistling sound that was terrifying to hear.
On the other side, the burly man with the long braid had also started fighting with Avelan, and it was impossible to tell who was winning for the time being.
And here at Miss Luo Quan's side, the outcome was decided in almost the blink of an eye.
Although these two burly men were strong, they were still far behind Zarte, and their attacks lacked any real technique; in China, they would probably be considered martial artists of around the fifth rank.
Miss Luo Quan even raised her sword to slash left and right; a flash of cold light passed before the two men's eyes, and they suddenly felt their hands become light.
Looking down, they discovered their weapons had been directly severed by Miss Luo Quan; the cuts were extremely smooth, as if a boning knife had sliced through tofu.
"What kind of high-tech greatsword is this?" The two burly men were dumbfounded.
It wasn't that they hadn't thought about losing to Miss Luo Quan; after all, her reputation preceded her.
But they hadn't expected such an ending.
The weapons in their hands were alloy equipment crafted with modern technology; how could they be broken so cleanly and neatly?
"Do you want to continue fighting?" Miss Luo Quan raised her sword and pointed; her dashing appearance was like a swordsman washing their sword in the novel.
"We concede."
The two burly men threw the remaining halves of their weapons onto the ground and directly chose to concede.
And on the other side, the outcome had also been decided.
Avelan's performance was just like Master Yanwu's back then; he barely dodged in the face of the enemy's attacks.
A strike that looked powerful and heavy had little effect when it hit his armor, at most making him take half a step back, but judging by his expression, Avelan wasn't affected in the slightest.
"This guy also knows the Golden Bell Shield and Iron Shirt?" Miss Luo Quan widened her eyes in surprise.
"The armor is the problem; it's a good treasure." The system provided the answer.
Just as it finished speaking, Avelan unleashed the attack he had been charging up for a long time, landing a punch on the long-braided man's face.
Don't look at the helmet protection; as long as you hit the right spot, you don't need much force to make someone pass out quickly.
This punch from Avelan was perfectly angled from bottom to top, hitting the enemy directly on the chin.
The burly man didn't even groan; his massive body just collapsed limply onto the ground.
Less than a minute into the match, only he and Miss Luo Quan remained on the field.
"If you concede, you might suffer fewer broken bones."
Avelan stretched his shoulders, his tone very arrogant.
"See that over there?" Miss Luo Quan pointed to the arena wall ten meters behind Avelan.
"What do you mean?"
"In the next second, I'll make you stick to it."
After Miss Luo Quan finished speaking, her body lunged forward like a cannonball, a "Black Tiger Steals the Heart" strike landing directly on Avelan's chest.
Avelan had no time to dodge; he only felt a massive force explode in front of him, and his whole body fell backward uncontrollably.
Fortunately, Miss Luo Quan didn't use her full strength to avoid causing a scene.
Otherwise, Avelan wouldn't have just retreated; he would have flown straight out.
After all, this was a live broadcast, so she couldn't be too shocking.
But she still fulfilled what she had just said; after a series of stumbles, Avelan retreated ten meters, his back landing perfectly against the arena wall.
