Chapter 1081
【In the game's plot, the 【Death—Sleep】 in the hallucination was baring its fangs, but Lu Ka, whose heart was firm, was already able to barely restrain this fear.】
【Lu Ka said in a low voice, "A real boxer will never succumb to fear."】
【After the inner fear 【Death Sleep】 was defeated, the screen returned to the real ring.】
【Different from the thrill in the hallucination, in reality, Lu Ka had been standing still for a long time under the murderous intent and pressure released by Boothill.】
【And strangely, although Boothill was saying impatient words, he didn't make any move, as if waiting for Lu Ka to make some expected move.】
【But after the inner fear was defeated, Lu Ka opened his eyes and resolutely walked toward Boothill, facing this 【crisis】 of impending death.】
【Looking at Lu Ka's actions, Boothill smiled with his jagged teeth and praised, "Good kid!"】
【However, his hands didn't pause at all. The muzzle aimed at Lu Ka trembled, and with six gunshots that were fast to the extreme, the screen fell into darkness.】
Livestream Room.
"Good guy, this duel really didn't expect every link!"
"Boothill seems to have no malice and appreciates Lu Ka's actions, but he really didn't hesitate when it was time to fire!"
"I just want to know, how is Lu Ka?"
"I want to know too, did he block it? Did he avoid it? Or did he get hit? So excited!"

March 7th was also staring at the phone screen: "I don't know how Lu Ka is?"
Dan Heng said, "With the gap in strength between the two, from the moment Boothill fired, the outcome of this match was doomed."
Welt Yang nodded and said, "However, with Boothill's personality, he won't hurt Lu Ka. Don't worry, Lu Ka won't be in life-threatening danger."
Stelle sighed and said, "It's a pity that Lu Ka stopped here after all and couldn't fight to the end."
March 7th was a bit puzzled and said, "But, looking at the preview content, didn't Lu Ka fight to the end and come to the front of the champion swordsman Yanqing's master? Is it a preview scam?"
Himeko shook her head slightly and smiled, "Stelle, March, have you forgotten? This Wardance Ceremony also has a special popularity resurrection mechanism, just like Miss Sushang's team before. With Lu Ka's popularity, this shouldn't be difficult."
March 7th was pleasantly surprised upon hearing this, "That's right, Sister Himeko is right. How could I forget this."
【In the game's plot, after the gunshots ended, the screen turned from dark to clear. I saw that under Boothill's precise marksmanship, the bullets hit Lu Ka's mechanical arm without any deviation.】
【The sharp bullets directly broke the mechanical arm made by the IPC that Boothill didn't like before.】
【But Lu Ka was stunned by Boothill's extremely fast drawing and firing and the sound of the bullets bursting. Under the pressure of impending death, Lu Ka's eyes were pitch black—】
【(What happened… am I… dead?)】
【Lu Ka thought so, but just then, Diting's voice sounded again, and the familiar voice announcing the result of the competition entered Lu Ka's ears—】
【"The win… the winner is… 【Galaxy Ranger】 Boothill!"】
【With this expected result, it also means Lu Ka's barrier-breaking promotion in this Wardance Ceremony failed.】
Livestream Room.
"This result, how should I put it, although it was expected, but…"
"A bit disappointed, right."
"Well, I have to say, I can understand Boothill's thoughts to some extent, but for Lu Ka, it's still a bit too much."
"After all, Boothill's experience is different. Perhaps in Boothill's mind, compared to encountering an irreversible tragedy in the future, it's better to have a lesson. It's scary, but at least there's no life-threatening danger."
"The truth is like this, but Lu Ka is also a bit miserable. This is only the second barrier-breaking match! He encountered a strong person like Boothill."
"Sigh, I've only heard the announcement of Lu Ka's victory before, but now that it's changed suddenly, it's really not a good feeling."
"After all, if Lu Ka could really beat Boothill, it could only be said that Boothill deliberately let the victory go."
"But, what should Lu Ka do next? He failed to promote!"
"Don't forget, didn't Miss Sushang's team also resurrect with Little Gui Zi's popularity? Lu Ka's popularity in the Wardance Ceremony shouldn't be a problem to enter the resurrection mechanism."
"That's true, otherwise the preview content would really become a preview scam."

Seele looked at the content in the game's plot and breathed a sigh of relief, but couldn't help but worry: "Although there is some popularity resurrection, but Lu Ka that guy…"
Seele was very familiar with Lu Ka when she was in the Wildfire. After all, as peers of similar age, they naturally communicated more. Because of this, Seele knew that looking at the battle Lu Ka faced in the game, whether he could hold on was still an unknown.
Bronya understood Seele, and she also knew that Seele's worry was not unreasonable. Lu Ka being able to fight back under Boothill's pressure had already made Bronya very impressed.

Lu Ka looked at himself in the game and muttered: "Did I… lose?"
Although this result was expected when he knew the opponent was Boothill, he was still stunned when he really faced it.
Especially Boothill's six consecutive shots that were as fast as lightning, and that peerless cold pressure, made Lu Ka tremble with fear even across the game screen.
【In the game's plot, after the competition results ended, Stelle and Camille saw Lu Ka standing still in a daze, so they stepped forward and helped him back to the lounge.】
【When holding Lu Ka's arm, Stelle clearly felt that Lu Ka's state at this time, his whole body trembling, made him almost unable to stand.】
【Although very worried about Lu Ka, after challenging the champion in the barrier-breaking match, there would usually be a press conference.】
【Stelle, as the coach, attended this press conference as before and accepted interviews.】
【Only heard the press officer say regretfully: "It's rare, Contestant Lu Ka narrowly lost to Galaxy Ranger Boothill in this match. The next press conference will be accepted by Lu Ka's coach Stelle for reporter questions."】
Livestream Room.
"Don't say, this press officer is quite good at talking, narrowly lost, ha."
"Sigh, I'm more worried about Lu Ka's current state. Under Boothill's pressure, Lu Ka's state is obviously not right."
"That's right, even when facing Shuojin's public opinion storm before, Lu Ka could still cheer up, but now, Lu Ka is still trembling and standing unsteadily at the end. The follow-up effect brought by Boothill's operation doesn't seem to be so easy to eliminate."
"There's no way, this can only rely on Lu Ka himself to walk out. Outsiders can't solve inner setbacks after all."
【In the game's plot, the press officer told the opening points as usual, and next it was Stelle's turn to choose reporters for questions.】
【However, interestingly, besides Camille and an unknown reporter, there was also a small figure whose head could only be vaguely seen appearing here as a reporter.】
【Perhaps because of the perspective, Stelle shouldn't have noticed this reporter. But perhaps out of curiosity, perhaps out of fatigue, Stelle still chose this 【Air Reporter】 to ask questions.】
Livestream Room.
"Haha, if I didn't see it wrong, this little head, wouldn't it be Hook."
"What Hook! Call her Lord Hook the Great!"
"Hahaha, I didn't expect our Lord Hook to become a little reporter. It's really interesting."
"God damn her air reporter, the Trailblazer is also quite playful."
"I have to say, after the tension and excitement, it's still very comfortable to suddenly have this happy and relaxing rhythm."
"Haha, I want to see what kind of questions Hook will ask."

In the clinic, Natasha looked at Hook's appearance in the game's plot, and for a time she was dumbfounded: "How did Hook suddenly become a reporter?"
On the other side, Hook and the children of the Moles looked at the plot in the game and couldn't help but get excited: "See, Lord Hook the Great appeared again, and she is… um… a reporter!"
A few little friends beside her also showed envious and admiring eyes: "Lord Hook is so amazing!"
【In the game's plot, Stelle chose {Air Reporter} but still didn't see anyone. A smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, "Where is the person? If you don't come, please ask the next one!"】
【Hearing this, Hook hurriedly jumped her small body and said, "Wait—I'm right here!"】
【Hook seemed to be standing too far forward, so that except for the perspective on the reporter's side, no one saw her at all.】
【Hook stepped back a few steps, revealing her cute little head, a bit nervous, and smiled, "I, I represent Belobog's 【Crystal Daily】 to ask you a question!"】
【Stelle was confused: "? Crystal Daily" Hiring child reporters?】
【Hook smiled and said, "No one hired me, this is my holiday homework, submitting to 【Crystal Daily】."】
Livestream Room.
"Lord Hook the Great is truly amazing, she can submit to the newspaper at such a young age."
"Haha, interesting, our little Hook is also becoming more and more amazing."
"It's really good, watching the child grow up."
"Come on, little Hook!"
"Old Man Fersman, look quickly! Hook is promising!"
"Hahaha, I suddenly want to know how magical her resume will be when Hook grows up."
