Chapter 906: The Man Who Destroyed Baldy with a Single Finger!
Chapter 906: The Man Who Destroyed Baldy with a Single Finger!
If it were a simple joystick control, he and Baldy were evenly matched. Their decision to team up was purely based on a lucky hunch, thinking that perhaps one of them might get lucky and win.
However, with the sensor control, this fighting game tested not only their gaming skills but also their physical abilities.
It was evident that just as Baldy felt certain of his victory, Yecheng also had absolute confidence in himself.
In a real-life battle, to be honest, even the current Yecheng would have no chance against the mighty Baldy.
But it was different in the game. Even if the sensor control could synchronize the player's movements with the character's, fighting games emphasized balance. Could the in-game characters possibly have the same overpowered stats as Baldy? Indeed, compared to the standard joystick control, the sensor control allowed Baldy to better showcase his skills.
However, in this aspect, Yecheng had an even greater advantage than Baldy! Baldy, who had broken through his physical limiter, had already reached a Bug-level in terms of speed, strength, and defensive capabilities.
But such overpowered stats couldn't be fully synchronized with the in-game characters. Now, it was all about combat skills and awareness, and in these areas, Yecheng believed he could surpass Baldy!
If the prize money were split evenly with Baldy, he would only get 500,000 yen. Why would he refuse the chance to take it all?
Due to the tenfold increase in the prize money, more contestants joined, causing the tournament schedule to extend.
Even those who didn't participate, like Hellblizzard, noticed that the powerful opponents Yecheng had mentioned earlier were advancing smoothly in the preliminary rounds, even making it to the quarterfinals with ease.
In the quarterfinals, Yecheng faced an ordinary middle-aged man and easily secured a spot in the semifinals.
However, the remaining six contestants were truly the cream of the crop! Baldy faced King, Genos fought Sonic, and Water Dragon battled Hungry Wolf.
When Baldy faced King, the strongest man on the surface, most spectators didn't believe that a mere B-Class Hero could defeat an S-Class Hero, except for a few like Genos, who knew Saitama's true strength.
But five minutes later, Baldy left the stage with a dejected expression, while Genos wore a look of utter disbelief.
In Genos' eyes, Saitama had always been an invincible symbol. If anyone in this world could defeat Saitama, it would probably be his other teacher, Yecheng.
Yet, moments ago, the so-called "Strongest Man on the Surface" had used the traditional joystick control to defeat Saitama, the invincible figure in Genos' mind, without leaving a single scratch on him, and had won the match with almost no suspense!
Everyone had witnessed Baldy's previous performance, so at this moment, both Hungry Wolf and Water Dragon turned their attention to King.
Genos and Sonic regarded King as an unprecedented formidable opponent. After all, no one understood Saitama's strength better than they did.
Despite the scrutiny of many powerful opponents, King maintained his calm demeanor, and the rhythmic sound of the "King Engine" reverberated once again.
"So powerful! Even in the face of threats from numerous strong opponents, he remains composed. This is the composure of the one hailed as the 'Strongest Man on the Surface'!"
The host's passionate commentary ignited the crowd, as this was the absolute king, King! Surrounded by enemies, an ordinary person would have been nervous, but their strongest hero, King, showed no signs of stage fright. Instead, he activated the "King Engine" to accept the challenges, even taking the offensive. This was the aura and majesty of a true king!
"Teacher Yecheng was right; King is indeed the greatest threat in this tournament!" —Genos
"If this guy can defeat Saitama, then by defeating him, I'll prove that I'm stronger than that Saitama guy!" —Sonic
"An S-Class Hero, huh? I was planning to take on some lower-ranked heroes first, but now I can see the level of S-Class Heroes beforehand." —Genos
"——Hungry Wolf
"Heroes? Boring stuff. Even if it's an S-class hero, my Shadow Body Fist won't lose to anyone!" —Water Dragon
With King's victory over Saitama, the remaining eight contestants had their fighting spirit instantly ignited.
When Genos took the stage for the second round, the bald man, for the first time, surprisingly cheered for Genos.
"Genos, you must win!"
Hearing Saitama's encouragement, Genos felt that his teacher had high hopes for him, and his fighting spirit buff instantly maxed out.
However, what he didn't know was that the bald man's cheer had nothing to do with high expectations. It was purely because he had been eliminated, and the prize money was now out of his reach.
If Yecheng won the championship, he wouldn't get a dime, but if Genos won, he could at least get half the prize money! It was common knowledge that Genos' belongings were shared with Yecheng, and their belongings were also their own.
Unfortunately, although Genos was pumped up by Saitama's encouragement before the match, he still lost to Sonic in the end.
If it were a real-life confrontation, the gap between Genos and Sonic wouldn't be too significant. Even if Genos was slightly weaker, it wouldn't be by much.
But don't forget, Genos is known as the "Funding Warrior," and most of his strength comes from his high-tech enhancements.
While a computer might assist with game analysis, the characters in the game are not the same as Genos himself. Without the 648 Funding Cannon, how could Genos defeat Sonic, who came from the Ninja Village?
After an intense battle lasting over ten minutes, Sonic eventually emerged victorious. His defeat left Venom and the onlookers in awe.
After all, unlike Saitama, who was just a B-class hero, in the eyes of ordinary people, the loss of a B-class hero like Baldy to an S-class hero like King was understandable.
But Genos was an S-class hero, and now he had lost to an unknown commoner. How could they not be surprised?
Hungry Wolf and Water Dragon were also astonished when they saw Sonic defeat Genos.
Their previous opponents had been too weak, so they couldn't gauge Sonic's true abilities. Only now did they realize that although Sonic was a pervert in a black tight suit, his strength seemed formidable.
At this stage, it was hard to tell who was stronger among Sonic, Hungry Wolf, and Water Dragon. Sonic specialized in speed, Water Dragon focused on power, and Hungry Wolf had a balanced approach.
"I'm sorry, Saitama-sensei and Yecheng-sensei. I've let you both down."
Although losing in the fighting game didn't necessarily mean Genos was weaker than Sonic, he still felt guilty and dejected facing his two teachers.
