Chapter 136 The Real Beyblade
On the way back, Xu Ying asked him, "How confident are you in tomorrow's duel?"
"Not sure. I found a way to defeat him, but it may not work. We'll see when we get home."
"Ah."
Mu Zhengguang's "home" is no longer a small one-bedroom apartment. Xu Ying helped him rent a three-bedroom, three-living-room house, which is a little far from the school but close to the river and the park.
After arriving home, Mu Zhengguang took out a wooden box from the cabinet in the living room: "The gyroscope here should be more useful than Huankong Yuanling. Yuanling only looks powerful, but it can't be considered a combat gyroscope at all."
The box contained seven spinning tops and four launchers, all of which were copied from the structure and appearance of the play, but in a larger size. It had long been his idea to turn the scenes he saw in his childhood into reality. At the initial meeting, he asked people to make these spinning tops.
Mu Zhengguang picked up a thick blue spinning top: "Gale Aggregate. Used by Gu Tingzhuo."
"Can these gyroscopes defeat the Aggregate?"
"It's hard to say. Gu Tingzhou's asymptote is spiral force, or elf power, which is similar and comes from "Hurricane Soul". His gyroscope is a gale aggregate, and the aggregate has never been defeated in the play. However, the owner of the aggregate is Ye Feng, who lost to Pandora in the finale of the second season. The gyroscopes used by Pandora are the Glorious Sword God, the Glorious Sword God S, and the Thunderbolt Horse. Tomorrow I will use the latter two gyroscopes to challenge Gu Tingzhou."
"What kind of power is elf power? Do these asymptotes taken from cartoons make it easier for people to become ancients?" Xu Ying thought of the opponent who used the yo-yo. That person should also be an ancient.
"Elf power...it depends on the setting in the animation. This power has a wide range of uses. It can be used to summon elves, upgrade gyroscopes, create hurricanes, floods, fires, earthquakes, and even directly attack opponents and open portals...Asymptotes and asymptotes are not necessarily related. Qi Wenjing took the asymptotes from the cartoon, but he is not an Ancient. Judging from the factors related to the asymptotes, it is really not easy for Gu Tingzhou to become an Ancient with the power of elves."
Mu Zhengguang had a little admiration for Gu Tingzhou in his heart: the power given by "Darkness" was not given for no reason. Those who could get the spinning top must have developed a deep affection for it before "Darkness" descended. Such people would probably not have had a good time before "Darkness" descended. The power of the elves was not a power recognized by the public, and the spinning top was not a hobby recognized by the public. Being able to overcome these difficulties and thus obtain the spiral power was "extremely dangerous."
He put down the polymer and picked up two spinning tops, one red and one purple. "I think I was a little too eager. Even if I lose to him, I just can't go any further. Level 4 and Level 3 are both high-ranking and powerful."
Xu Ying's heart trembled: Yes, no one has ever asked us to become the dean of the third-level branch. Even Zhao Yuxi never said anything like "You must become the dean of the third-level branch." Why did I regard this as my goal and my burden? Isn't the reason why we want to become the dean of the branch to reduce the burden? My goal is to reduce the burden, but in the process of achieving my goal, I "inadvertently" added a lot of burdens to myself.
She said, "That makes sense. To protect our family, the dean of the fourth-level branch is enough. If you want wealth and glory, we have it now. Going further is not our goal, so let Zhao Yuxi think of a solution. I almost forgot that we are already what people often call big shots. It doesn't matter whether we can go further or not. The higher we stand, the greater the resistance we will encounter."
Mu Zhengguang added, "Yes, but people subconsciously think that with more power and more wealth, they will have more choices and can dominate more people and things. In fact, this is not the case. Just let everything take its course, because no one can change it. Just like with 'darkness' and without 'darkness', the whole world changed in an instant. Changed... I understand. The battle that Gu Tingzhou wants is not a contest between spinning tops and elves, nor is it entirely a contest between the powers of elves. This is a battle of memory, comparing the feelings and cognition of both sides about their childhood memories."
"The Middle Ages are fighting against the Ancients. The chances of winning are slim. Just do your best. Can I help in the battle?"
"Yes. Judging from the source and definition of the power of the Beyblade, you can borrow the power of your friends' Beyblades and spirits during battle."
In the play, Ye Feng said, "Through fighting and assembly, we build friendship and become stronger. This is a battle beyblade." Regardless of whether the beyblade is made of metal or plastic, anyone who uses the power of elves to fight has to admit this conclusion that goes against common sense. Xu Ying happily took away Chaos Tianxiang: "I want this beyblade."
Mu Zhengguang was very optimistic about her choice: there were seven gyroscopes in the wooden box, Shadow Sky Wing, Chaos Sky Soaring, Fierce Wind Light Wing S, Brilliant Sword God S, Thunderbolt Horse, Dark Absolute Yuanming, and Fierce Wind Aggregate. Looking at the performance of the gyroscopes alone, the strongest one is definitely the Fierce Wind Aggregate, followed by Dark Absolute Yuanming, and Brilliant Sword God S and Chaos Sky Soaring are probably stronger than Fierce Wind Light Wing S. Shadow Sky Wing is similar to Chaos Sky Soaring, it may be stronger or weaker, it is difficult to measure. Thunderbolt Horse must be the weakest, with a very poor record and very little effect.
"Not bad, he picked a very strong gyro. Chaos Sky Soar has six gyro tips and two attack rings, and he suppressed Fierce Wind Light Wing S almost all the time in the battle. If Gu Tingzhou didn't launch additional gyros, we could just fight him two on two."
Xu Ying did not intend to choose Chaos Tianxiang: "I have only seen three spinning tops here. I don't want the blue one. You can use the red one. I will use the black one. Which one is the strongest? Let me change it."
Mu Zhengguang recalled that when he was in the fourth grade, his classmates watched a few episodes of "Hurricane Soul 2" at his house. At that time, the TV had just broadcast the finale. The blue Fierce Wind Light Wing S, the red Brilliant Sword God S, and the black Chaos Sky Soar were all gyroscopes that appeared in the last few episodes.
"The strongest one is the Fierce Wind Aggregate used by Gu Tingzhou, followed by the Dark Absolute Yuanming, which is this purple combined gyro. The Dark Absolute Yuanming can be divided into three. Even if Gu Tingzhou launches additional gyro, it's not fair to fight five against three. How about we not change it?"
Xu Ying respected his suggestion and answered briskly: "Well, no. These two spinning tops carry our memories. No, no, no, I said it the other way around. Eh, how did I say it? It seems not the other way around..."
Mu Zhengguang was moved by her laughter and couldn't help laughing: "These two spinning tops are part of our story. Seven years ago, we were already good friends."
"Yeah, I'll give you all the strength of a good friend. Even if I can't defeat Gu Tingzhou, I want him to see our friendship."
Mu Zhengguang suddenly realized: "In the world view of the Hurricane Soul series, friendship is invincible. Gu Tingzhou will never be able to defeat you and me."
Xu Ying nodded repeatedly: "Yeah, yeah, yeah, Gu Tingzhou beat you once, and we beat him once too."
At night, the two watched all the battles of Chaos Tianxiang, Fierce Wind Light Wings S, Glorious Sword God S, Thunderbolt Divine Horse, and Fierce Wind Aggregate, and they all believed that they would win tomorrow's showdown.
The next morning, Xu Ying walked to his door from another similar house in the same community and said, "I'll cook the noodles with the pork ribs soup I made yesterday. Try them."
Mu Zhengguang took the insulated lunch box of noodles with some embarrassment: "Thank you."
"You're welcome."
"Your duel with Zhao Yuxi will be coming soon. I wonder what form it will take."
"Don't be afraid. Zhao Yuxi is quite polite. It won't be difficult to defeat her."
