"Alas, I made Brother Zheng laugh. It's all my fault that my naughty son is useless. He is not as good as Miss Zheng and cannot participate in such a good training opportunity." Cai Ying thought of the trainee knight who had not yet entered the mid-term.
Cai Gang was angry.
"Yun'er just came to take a look and feel the atmosphere. I don't expect her to win any rankings." Zheng Yun has not yet appeared on the stage, but Zheng Lai is actually looking forward to it.
The first round of competition has been going on for an hour, and the fastest "White Four" group has already reached the fourth game.
From Huoling City to Huling City.
At this time, there was movement in the audience again, and two popular contestants walked into the competition venue one after another.
Yin Hua, the sixth master from Tongxicheng, will play, and his opponent is Xiushui City from Zheng Lai; Jin Yan, the eighth master from Hejiangcheng, will face Ouyang Liang, the seed player from Xinyu City.
Two seeded players from the "White 2" group with Nie Ling started a confrontation.
Ding Kui and Nie Ling stood up together and looked at the competition venue of the "White 2" team.
The last time Jin Yan lost to Ba Xi, a small part of the reason was the widened long sword. That sword weighed hundreds of kilograms and was comparable to the heavy weapons in the hands of charging warriors.
Ouyang Liang from Xinyu City is known as the seed player, but his fighting spirit is only a late trainee knight.
The Ouyang family has been deteriorating from generation to generation. Ouyang Chong, who gathered fighting spirit at the same time as Ding Kui, has only just entered the mid-term apprenticeship as a knight.
Facing Ouyang Liang, Jin Yan came up and attacked without any hesitation.
"Swish, swish, swish", the three swords attack Ouyang Liang's upper, middle and lower directions respectively, which is a bit like the swordsmanship of Ouyang family.
Seeing the somewhat familiar sword path, Ouyang Liang felt less panicked. He swung his sword from bottom to top with one hand, trying to get rid of Jin Yan's sword.
Unexpectedly, it was empty.
Jin Yan's three sword strikes were all feints. The tip of his sword drew an arc and hit Ouyang Liang's wrist.
Ouyang Liang was startled and jumped back to avoid Jin Yan's sword tip.
Jin Yan stepped forward and "swish, swish, swish" with three more swords, attacking Ouyang Liang's upper, middle and lower paths.
Ouyang Liang aimed his sword at Jin Yan's wrist and swiped at it. Jin Yan turned virtual into real, lowered his wrist, and slashed Ouyang Liang's sword.
With a "dang" sound, Ouyang Liang's mouth trembled, and he almost lost his sword.
Jin Yan has a flexible mind and a variety of sword techniques. He is not afraid of competing with his opponents in swordsmanship, but he is afraid of Ba Xi's unreasonable fighting style.
Ouyang Liang had no way to deal with Jin Yan's empty and real sword moves, so he kept retreating. After more than thirty moves, he was forced out of the competition venue by Jin Yan.
Jin Yan won easily.
Although they are both seeded players, the gap in strength is still huge.
Against the contestants from Xiushui City, Yin Hua didn't even use the sword technique of "Stealing Luck to Return to Heaven", but only defeated the opponent with "Rightness Sword", which made the audience very unhappy.
The highlights of the fourth game of the first round are a bit more exciting, with the seventh player Xue Ai facing off against Tian Luo from Wangshan City, and the ninth player Yan Yi facing off against An Xiang, the seeded player from Huling City.
There are several collateral descendants of the Tian family who have good qualifications and have entered the later stage of trainee knights, and Tian Luo is one of them. Except for the last chapter of the Tian family's "Reality-avoiding Sword", Tian Luo has basically learned all of it.
Xue Ai quickly flashed beside Tian Luo, and stabbed Tian Luo with hundreds of sword tips.
Tian Luo didn't care about the shadow of the sword in front of him. As long as Xue Ai came close, he would use his sword to attack her with horizontal and vertical slashes, a desperate fighting style of exchanging injuries for injuries.
"Avoiding the Real Sword" is a style of play that exploits strengths and avoids weaknesses. Instead of playing with what the enemy is good at, he focuses on exploiting the enemy's flaws.
At first, Tian Luo's fighting style was quite effective, but after Xue Ai got familiar with his footwork, scars began to appear on his body.
Xue Ai's speed is a little faster, she can always stab Tianluo and then quickly retreat.
The players have leather armor on their bodies, but their hands and feet can only rely on training clothes for defense. They are easily injured when faced with long sword attacks.
At this time, Tian Luo switched to a blindly defensive style of play, but it was too late. His hands and feet were scratched, which affected his reaction speed to some extent. Xue Ai finally stabbed Tian Luo's wrist with a sword, knocking off his long sword, and obtained
victory.
Tian Luo became one of the more seriously injured players in the first round.
Yanyi versus Anxiang, another battle between the top ten seeds versus the bottom ten seeds.
Red Hawkeye's Flame Wing uses the "Explosive Sword", which is said to be the most difficult type of Yan family swordsmanship to practice. It requires hand-eye synchronization and precise attack placement.
An Xiang's "Floating Phoenix Sword" was not very afraid of Yan Yi, and his fighting spirit cultivation was also almost the same. The two fought against each other at a high level.
If Yanyi seizes the offensive, his high straight sword moves will explode with great force, and the defending side will have to expend even greater energy and fighting spirit.
Therefore, Anxiang kept moving around, avoiding Yanyi's front, and attacked continuously from the side.
Yan Yi looks like a person with an impatient temperament, but he is neither impatient nor impatient when fighting. When faced with An Xiang's side containment attacks, he uses defensive moves to resolve them and is not in a hurry to seize the offensive.
Since An Xiang never dared to face Yan Yi, and could not find Yan Yi's flaw, he gradually found himself in an invincible predicament.
Yanyi, who had a steady defense, was invincible. He was waiting for Anxiang's physical strength to be exhausted.
Unable to break the situation, Anxiang kept wandering. The distance he moved was much greater than that of Yanyi, and his physical consumption was several times greater than that of Yanyi.
After hitting two hundred moves, Anxiang's mobility slowed down, and the number of times he was caught by Yanyi increased, and Yanyi began to seize the offensive.
The balance of victory had already tipped towards Yanyi. After another twenty attempts, An Xiang felt that his physical strength and fighting spirit had dropped sharply.
The referee suddenly stopped the game because Wei Zan, the president of the Huling City Knights Guild, came to the sidelines and threw a white scarf, admitting defeat for An Xiang.
"President, I can still fight." An Xiang is not someone who gives up easily.
"Okay, after another twenty moves at most, you won't be able to block Yanyi's stabbing sword. His sword moves are very powerful. Once you are stabbed by him, your injuries will be serious.
Your goal is not to be in the top ten, but to be second in this group. If you can reach the top twenty, you will have completed the task." Wei Zan wanted to knock An Xiang's head hard to wake up this thorny knot.
It was already past 11 o'clock in the morning, and the last game of the first round started at 6.
If there was a big gap in strength in the previous games, the fifth game was the closest in strength.
Baifeng City, which was ninth in the previous year, faced off against Shangshi City, which was eleventh in the previous year, and Dong'an City, which was tenth in the previous year, faced off against Tiedan City, which was twelfth in the previous year.
The remaining twenty contestants will compete against each other on ten venues.
One of the games caught Ding Kui's attention, which was the game between Qiu Ding, the weakest seed player in the top ten, and Jiang Lie, who was also in the "White Three" group.
As for Zong Yi, who is tied with Ding Kui in the "Death Group" as "the most difficult bottom ten seed player", slightly fewer people pay attention to it because he is the weakest player in Baifeng City.
