After hearing Shota's words, the cloaked woman's body trembled visibly. Shota subconsciously felt that the other person had been made to cry by him, and then he hurriedly comforted him: "Hey, are you okay? I'll treat you to a meal, okay? No, please don't.

Don't cry."

"The duel begins."

Just when Shota was panicking, the black-haired boy suddenly accepted the duel invitation and also chose the first strike victory mode, and then the countdown began.

"60..."

"Hey, Saori, come here and help me deal with this person."

Shota waved to the good old Saori to comfort the cloaked woman, then turned his gaze to the black-haired boy and said: "Actually, you can cancel it... Why fight? Revenge?"

"That's not the case."

There was no ferocious look on the face of the black-haired boy. He pointed at the cloaked woman and said, "She and I are just a temporary team."

"Then why?"

Seeing the opponent's sword seemingly unconsciously positioned on the midline of his body, Shota felt that this person must have at least learned some real-life fighting techniques or martial arts skills.

"Because I think your fighting style is interesting."

The black-haired boy focused his attention on Shota's left hand holding the dagger and said, "In reality, you should be considered a strong man, right?"

"Well, it's okay if you want to say that. But that doesn't count as the reason for your duel."

The countdown to the duel has reached thirty-nine.

"If I have to say it." A smile appeared on the black-haired boy's face and he said, "Because I think I can learn something from you. Something that will be very beneficial for future battles."

"Good reason. My name is Shota. Well, the name of the game is Shota. If you don't mind, how about giving me my name?"

"kirito."

"..." After hearing this name, Shota was stunned for a few seconds. Isn't this the delusional man who wants to be his sister's brother based on his name? Wait, and he also said that his sister's voice is similar to Tong's.

They are very similar. What do you want to do?

When it comes to his sister's affairs, Shota's mind inevitably goes crazy.

If I had known earlier, I would have given my name SHORINRIN, so that others would definitely have some relationship with Kirino!

"0,19,18."

Shaking his head, he forced himself to admit that the name of the man in front of him was just a coincidence. Shota calmed down. Once the duel started, it could not be canceled. If he wanted to go home and cook early, he had to defeat the guy named Kirito in front of him.

That’s it.

What? Give up early? No, no, if you want to lose to this man in front of your sister, Shota would rather die than lose face.

",,1,duel!"

At the beginning of the duel, Kirito decided to strike first to gain an advantage. Facing such an experienced enemy, once the opportunity was gained, it would be difficult to find an opportunity to come back.

The distance of about five meters was reached almost instantly. Looking at the opponent's sword in a drooping position, Shota subconsciously felt that the opponent was going to use the rising dragon skill, so he held the dagger in his left hand and lowered it, and took a small step back with his right foot.

However, there is no obvious light from the skill on the sword.

Fake action!

"When——"

Just a very ordinary challenge.

The one-handed sword raised up made a collision sound with Shota's dagger. The force coming from his hand let Shota roughly know that the opponent's strength should be about the same as his, but judging from his sudden attack, his agility was slightly higher.

Be taller yourself.

As expected of a closed beta player, his level is already higher than mine.

He increased the strength in his hand and pressed down on the opponent's sword. When Shota was about to attack, he found that he was shrouded in a shadow.

Kirito jumped up!

Using his legs hard, using Shota's dagger across his chest as a fulcrum, and resting his strength and agility attributes, he jumped up and jumped behind Shota!

Without any room to think, Shota waved his arm and stabbed behind him with his backhand. However, he misjudged the opponent's landing place and seemed to have missed the target!

Damn strength correction! Not everyone in the real world is a gymnast, who can jump that far.

The physical fitness of level 10 players has reached the level of the Olympic Games. If they go up further, whether it is strength or agility, they will quickly break the shackles of the body and become inhuman beings.

Shota seemed to notice a strange light in the corner of his eyes, and Shota suddenly felt a sense of crisis. He didn't bother to stop his reflexive arm movement, but instead increased the strength of his waist and legs, turning his whole body sideways in mid-air.

Half a circle, and at the same time, a burst of silver light directly brushed against his cheek!

Kirito didn't seem to expect that his perfectly timed strike would miss, but when he saw Empress Shota's sword not even touching the ground, he subconsciously used the skill again.

"Luzhan!"

Like rising dragon and linear thrust, falling slash is also a skill in the basic sword skills. One pick, one thrust, and one slash are the simple BOs used most by players, and Kirito is no exception.

He maintained a one-handed stabbing attack, and could only raise his wrist slightly. With a thought, he activated the falling slash skill directly, slashing towards Shota who had not yet hit the ground and could not use his strength!

However, just when he thought he would definitely succeed this time, the two flying knives that suddenly magnified in front of him made him tilt his head. It was the right time to activate the skill. At the same time, Shota, who had just landed on the ground, rolled and dodged.

Passed the opponent's slash.

"Amazing……"

For the onlookers, although it only happened in a moment, they all felt a little afraid of the black-haired boy's fierce offensive. They had faced the monster's rigid attack all day long, and it was the first time they had seen this kind of attack.

A duel of this magnitude would definitely be shocking.

"That boy did a good job."

Although there was no shocked look on Black Cat's face, he couldn't help but nodded and said, "At least he's better than me."

"Well, don't say that, Black Cat."

Saori returned to the audience seat and said to the black cat: "Shouta just suffered a small loss. You must know that when he practices with you, he never holds weapons with his left hand."

“I’ve been trying to be cool all day long and I’m finally going to get my reward today.”

Kirino is quite happy to see Shota eat a turtle once in a while...

And the cloaked woman was also watching the duel on the field, not wanting to miss any moment. To be honest, she really felt a super satisfied feeling when she was killed just now. For some reason, she was looking forward to her temporary victory.

Teammates can help her avenge her blood feud.

"Nice skill to use."

After standing still, Shota looked at the strand of hair that had been cut off and disappeared into a mosaic in the air. He looked at the black-haired boy who was preparing for the next attack and said, "Being better than me at least taught me a lot.

How to use skills."

"Really? Then you have to be more careful next time."

Kirito smiled helplessly. He was confident that no one of the same level would be able to follow the combo just now. It was really ridiculous to see it broken by two small flying knives.

And because of this, he missed the best opportunity to score a hit.

Standing opposite him, Shota shrugged, took out a small throwing knife in his right hand, and then suddenly stabbed his right eye under the puzzled eyes of the onlookers...

There was almost no distance between the sword and his pupils. Shota maintained his dazzling posture and said without blinking: "This will be my tuition just now."

Kirito understood what Shota meant. In fact, even if he was hit by a flying knife just now, it would only deduct some blood and would not affect his life or the outcome of the duel. But in the virtual reality, the blade of this kind of knife stabs the center of the eyebrow.

It still feels like people can't help but fear and avoid. If you want to survive in this game, or become stronger, you must distinguish the difference between here and reality, what looks fatal and what is really fatal.

If you can't overcome your instinctive fear, you won't be able to become the strongest.

"But, here comes the next step."

Shota put the flying knife in his hand back into the toolbar, and transferred the dagger in his left hand to his right hand. Soon a burst of red light appeared on the dagger. He stabbed it into the void and said with a smile: "I'm not left-handed.

.”

"It's time!"

…

Half an hour later, in the hotel, Kirino was pointing at Shota who was listening and educating him: "Honestly, what number is this month?"

"No. 7..."

Shota didn't dare to look at Kirino's scary eyes, so he lowered his head and counted the small flying knives.

"The seventh one! You will break a weapon in an average of four days!"

Kirino seemed to see countless pieces of food being broken in front of his eyes, and said angrily: "How many times do you have to tell me, I have to find a big man to repair weapons every morning! We don't have the budget to buy weapons for you all day long.

, will you take the novice dagger to fight the boss tomorrow?"

"Well, I know I was wrong. I, I'll go find someone to borrow money... Oh no, I'll sell myself! No, it's not Shen, it's Yi!"

Perhaps he was speaking a little too hastily, and Shota inevitably bit his tongue.

"Humph, and what's going on with you today?"

Kirino continued to taunt Shota and said: "You are yelling arrogantly like a villain boss, and then you deliberately rush up to fight with that guy. Are you an idiot? They use swords, you hold them

Just put the dagger there and think it's cool. Then you have to pay attention to the durability of the weapon! You can't surrender if you can't defeat it!"
To be continued...
