Lin Mo then put on the VR glasses.
[Finalists are in position, selecting their scene...]
[Final Battle Scene Loading: The Shattered Moon]
After a moment of dizziness, the scene before my eyes transformed into a desolate universe.
Beneath my feet lies gray lunar soil riddled with craters, in the distance stretches a beautiful blue Earth, and above me are endless stars.
【FINAL ROUND... FIGHT!】
The moment the announcement was made, the hungry wolf moved!
Without any probing, he instantly covered a distance of tens of meters and rushed to Lin Mo, throwing several punches at him.
However, Lin Mo still managed to dodge the attack perfectly.
"All you can do is hide like a mouse!?"
The hungry wolf roared and its attack became even more ferocious.
He began to imitate the moves of previous fighters in battle, and enhanced them in his own unique way, making them even more deadly!
But no matter how he changes, Lin Mo can always see through his true nature the moment he makes a move and easily neutralize it.
The more the wolf fought, the more alarmed he became, as none of his attacks had caused any damage to his opponent.
"hateful……"
Frustrated by his inability to gain the upper hand, the hungry wolf suddenly performed a backflip, creating a distance of tens of meters between himself and Lin Mo.
He was breathing heavily, but his eyes had changed.
That wild, untamed energy was replaced by a refined, concentrated aura.
He held his hands in a peculiar pose in front of his chest.
"Originally... this was prepared for hunting heroes."
The hungry wolf growled, "You should feel honored that I've used this move!"
Flowing Rock Shattering Fist!
His hands transformed into countless cyan phantoms, striking Lin Mo's entire body from all directions!
This is his strongest trump card that he has been hiding all along!
Just as the hungry wolf unleashed the Water Stream Rock Smash Fist, a ripple flashed across Lin Mo's eyes for the first time.
"This boxing style is... Bang's..." Lin Mo understood.
"So that's how it is. B-444, you're Garou..."
Having confirmed the other party's identity, Lin Mo no longer simply tried to evade them.
He also extended both hands.
It's the same Water Flow Rock Smashing Fist!
However, the boxing style displayed by Lin Mo was completely different from that of the hungry wolf.
The wolf's fist was filled with a suppressed destructive urge; it had the form of flowing water, but not the essence of it.
Lin Mo's punches, on the other hand, were even lighter and more agile.
Every move he made neutralized the wolf's attacks, even redirecting them into empty space.
"Wha...what!?"
The wolf's pupils contracted to their maximum size.
"Who...who are you?! Why are you..."
Lin Mo did not answer, but his moves began to evolve at that moment.
He still used the form of the Flowing Water Rock Shattering Fist, but he had subtly incorporated changes from the "Dark Body Fist" that Water Dragon had used before.
His movements became increasingly ghostly, instantly putting immense pressure on the hungry wolf like never before.
The hungry wolf was completely shocked by this unbelievable scene, but instead of being surprised, he was delighted, and his fighting spirit became even stronger.
"Hahaha... Hahahaha! Interesting! Very interesting! This is the kind of animal I should be hunting!"
Under immense pressure and extreme excitement, Garou's monstrous talent was fully unleashed!
His body began to emit a beast-like growl, and his eyes gleamed with a blood-red light.
His movements were no longer confined to the fixed moves of the Flowing Water Rock Shattering Fist, but he began to frantically learn Lin Mo's movements!
Lin Mo's boxing style is like a living martial arts manual.
The hungry wolf fought while greedily absorbing the nutrients!
The battle seemed to have reached its climax at this moment.
The audience outside the venue was completely dumbfounded, utterly unable to comprehend what was happening on the screen.
The two figures had transformed into two streaks of light that could not be seen with the naked eye, colliding wildly on the shattered lunar surface.
Their moves are unpredictable; one second they are performing masterful, flowing martial arts, and the next they turn into bizarre and destructive techniques.
"What... what's going on? How come they're using the same moves?"
"No! It's different! After each collision, their moves subtly change! They're... they're creating new martial arts on the spot!?"
On the screen, Garou grew stronger with each battle, his aura becoming increasingly powerful.
Lin Mo wanted to test whether he could fuse two completely different fist techniques after comprehending the [All Laws Return to One], which is why he hadn't ended the battle yet.
Finally, the VR system that carried out this battle reached its limit.
[WARNING! Unidentified out-of-specification data detected!]
[WARNING! The combat logic module has crashed!]
[WARNING! Core processor overheating! System is about to...]
Suddenly, a blinding snowflake appeared on the largest holographic screen in the center of the venue, followed by a mournful cry of despair. The entire image froze instantly, eventually turning into complete darkness!
Immediately afterwards, sparks flew from the VR devices on Lin Mo and Hungry Wolf's bodies, and a burnt smell filled the air.
[Match Interrupted]
System crash
Huge red text replaced the battle screen and appeared on all the spare screens.
No one realized what had happened.
Lin Mo slowly opened his eyes, let out a long breath, seemingly still wanting more.
Meanwhile, on the other side, the hungry wolf also opened his eyes.
His eyes were bloodshot, and his chest heaved violently. His fierce fighting spirit did not subside because the match was interrupted; on the contrary, it became even more intense because it was forcibly interrupted!
Finally, after a frantic discussion among the organizers, the host announced the competition results in a trembling voice:
"Due to... due to an unexpected technical glitch, the final of this National Fighting Game Tournament... is declared... a draw!"
Amidst uproar and astonishment, this legendary match came to an end in a way no one could have predicted.
"Huh? A tie?" Saitama picked his nose in the audience. "What about the prize money? Will it be split equally?"
No one could answer his question.
Chapter 112 Draw
A draw? Are you kidding me!
"My God, they beat the system to the point of crashing? Are these two monsters?"
"What did the organizers do?! I paid three times the price to buy a ticket from a scalper, just to see this ending?"
"A showdown of the century, a joke of the century! Refund! Refund!"
"Refund! Refund! Refund!"
The host held the microphone, his forehead covered in cold sweat, his lips trembling, but he couldn't utter a single word.
He has been a host for over a decade and has never encountered such an absurd and outrageous situation.
The server crashed during the finals – this is unheard of!
Meanwhile, the press area on the sidelines was in complete chaos.
Like a swarm of sharks that have smelled blood, a variety of striking headlines instantly formed in their minds:
[The epic showdown ended in server failure! Is this the pinnacle of esports or a tragic end?]
[B-444 and A-777: Legends of the New Era or Tragedy of the Technological Age?]
[Unprecedented! The championship battle ended in this way?]
Amidst the chaos, after an emergency meeting at the top, another host, under immense pressure, stepped onto the stage and announced the final result in a trembling voice:
"Due to an unprecedented technical malfunction, the winner cannot be determined. Therefore, the champion of this competition is... a joint champion! The prize money will be split equally between contestants A-777 and B-444."
Upon hearing this result, the clamor in the room paused briefly before erupting into even more intense boos and curses.
"Oh? To split it equally?"
Upon hearing the result, Saitama's worry vanished, replaced by joy.
"That's not bad. Half the prize money should be enough for us to live on for a long time. Right, Genos?"
“Yes, teacher,” Genos said calmly, while taking notes of the reactions of the surrounding audience.
"However, teacher, the prize money isn't the main point. Mr. King's battle with the other contestant is the most important thing..."
After saying that, he began to analyze the entire match.
"Really? That sounds amazing."
Saitama picked at his ear, clearly uninterested in these complex analyses.
"Anyway, KING is really strong. Okay, now that the match is over, let's go find KING and then go eat! I'm starving!"
