"There are three types of people in this world when it cos to eating." Li Xiu did not reach out to shake hands with Jin Zhenhuan, but slowly said, "One type is without logic, eats however they want, as the mood dictates; the second type picks their favorite first, finishes what they like before anything else; and I am the third type, I like to eat what I dislike first."
"You want to have a duel with last?" Jin Zhenhuan understood what Li Xiu ant.
"I am used to saving the feast for last." Li Xiu smiled.
"I'm afraid you'll be defeated before you even reach ." Jin Zhenhuan taunted.
"I won't be defeated today." Li Xiu said calmly.
"Fine, as you wish, I will defeat you in the final duel. But if you run away before then, you'll die even more miserably outside." Jin Zhenhuan turned away without waiting for Li Xiu's reply.
"I told you not to provoke him, why did you say those things? What are you going to do this ti? You have to know that in the death-speed baseball trial, trial takers with good physical qualities have an absolute advantage, you can't possibly defeat Jin Zhenhuan." A Fei said sowhat displeased.
"Not necessarily." Li Xiu glanced around, hoping to find soone willing to team up with him.
But no one responded to his gaze, because Li Xiu's previous expression made people very suspicious that he might also be proficient in baseball.
Although physical prowess is the key factor in determining victory, a high enough skill level can also have a significant impact.
However, the number of entrants into the Trial Ground is even, so inevitably one person will need to team up with Li Xiu, it just depends on who that remaining person is.
"Can I team up with you?" Just when Li Xiu thought he would have to wait until the end, soone walked up to Li Xiu, it was a trial taker who was forced to enter.
He looked to be in his thirties or forties, in good physical condition, and judging by his physique, he was likely an athlete in so sport before.
People who can survive until now generally have so abilities, even if not a repeatedly enhanced trial taker, they must have a very solid foundation.
"Of course you can." Li Xiu nodded.
"I have a condition." That person suddenly said.
"What condition?" Li Xiu looked at him with interest. It's the first ti he heard soone proposing conditions for teaming up.
"I hope after teaming up, we can cooperate with each other, each scoring a point, and leave here alive." The man said.
"How to cooperate?" Li Xiu was intrigued, looking at the man and asked.
"There are two ways to score. One is for the batter to hit the ball, but this is difficult for soone who hasn't been exposed to baseball and has no sports experience and is more prone to error. The other is for the pitcher to score directly. As long as the aim is good, it's not hard to throw within the one-ter-square range. We can not defend against each other's pitches, thus stabilize scoring, and both pass the trial alive." The man analyzed.
"I refuse." After listening, Li Xiu directly rejected without hesitation.
"Consider it again, if you don't team up with , no ordinary trial taker is willing to team up with you anymore, you can only team up with administrators then, how big will your chances of survival be?" The man persuaded.
"Compared to you, I'd rather team up with those administrators." Li Xiu said and then ignored the man.
The man, feeling unappreciated, had to walk away in recognition of the situation.
"He was right, if you don't team up with him, you'll have to team up with administrators." A Fei, who had already tead up, heard the conversation between the two and asked a bit confused, "Is there a problem with that man? I rember he's quite good physically, has the level of a professional athlete, but compared to administrators, he's inferior, choosing him is better than choosing administrators."
"I don't like going back on my word, nor do I like putting my fate in others' hands. According to his plan, if I first play the batter, letting him score, what if when I'm the pitcher, he swings and hits my ball?" Li Xiu said.
"True, you have a fifty percent chance of being the batter first, he only needs one word to exchange for a fifty percent chance of victory, really cost-effective." A Fei understood, looking at those who hadn't tead up yet, "The rest are all administrators, looks like this stage will be hard for you."
Li Xiu remained noncommittal, and as the countdown was nearing its end, the remaining administrator ca up to Li Xiu, without saying anything, they shook hands and beca teammates.
Li Xiu checked his ranking, twelfth among the administrators, which was quite low but still much higher than Li Xiu's rank.
A total of sixty-two people entered this ti, Li Xiu ranked fifty-first.
This was because he underwent eleven enhancents in the previous round, otherwise the ranking could have been even lower.
The trial began, two people were transported to the field, one holding a baseball standing sideways at the batter's position, the other standing at the pitcher's position, holding a baseball.
Behind the batter, there was a square light shadow, if the ball hit within the square fra's range, a score would be gained.
The pitcher was a common trial taker, while the batter was an administrator, it's obvious that the administrator probably used threats to make the pitcher team up.
The pitcher apparently had no baseball experience, didn't even know the correct way to hold the ball, let alone the standard pitching motion.
He used the position he felt most comfortable with and powerful to throw the ball towards the square light shadow.
The ball speed was quite fast, with good aim, the baseball whistled towards the square fra range. After all, the trial takers who survived so far generally had good physical and athletic abilities.
Bang!
The administrator swung the bat fiercely, cleanly hitting the ball out, the ball soared high, flying towards the direction behind the hitter, from his action, it was evident that he definitely knew how to play baseball.
The baseball field extended in a fan-shaped area from the batter's vertex at a 120-degree angle towards the pitcher, balls outside the fan-shaped area are considered out of bounds.
This ball flew directly over the batter's head, definitely within the 120-degree range, so naturally it couldn't go out of bounds.
The baseball flew over the field, hitting the invisible barrier separating the stands and the ga field, exploding a shower of sparks before falling.
If it were in reality, this would likely be a ho run.
As expected, the administrator batter scored a point.
Then the administrator took the pitcher's position, wearing a glove on one hand and holding the baseball with the other, his right leg lifted high, the arm holding the ball looking like bowstring drawn to the limit behind him.
Buzz!
In the instant his right leg landed, the ball shot out like it was propelled by a strong rubber band, flying with a buzzing sound.
The batter hurriedly swung the bat, but it was too late, the bat swung empty, and the baseball hit the square light shadow.
The outco was obvious, the crowd witnessed another corpse explosion.
The next pair transported into the Trial Ground, surprisingly included the trial taker who previously wanted to team up with Li Xiu.
