Chapter 114 The end of the first round of the county competition
The Qiu family in Dong'an City is considered a new noble in Pingzhong County. They were ennobled and knighted more than five hundred years ago. The blood power of the family's children has not dissipated. Even if the direct line does not have a suitable age, there are still one or two from the collateral line.

Qiu Ding is a disciple of a side lineage. Not long after he entered the later stage as a trainee knight, he received the true inheritance of the "Qingtian Sword" and became seventy-eight points of proficiency.
His opponent, Jiang Lie, had an average status in Tiedan City and could only get the superficial knowledge of his family's secrets.
Jiang Lie's fighting spirit cultivation and foundation were pretty good, and the gap between him and Qiu Ding was not big. In the fifty moves after the start of the game, both sides were attacking and defending each other.
Qiu Ding's sword moves are simple and direct, with a sense of ease and ease. He doesn't struggle much with his opponents and focuses on sword fighting. His reputation as a seed player did not put pressure on Jiang Lie, but instead aroused Jiang Lie's fight.
Heart.
Jiang Lie had no sword power to draw on, and he suffered more and more losses as time went by. He simply poured all his fighting energy into the long sword to fight Qiu Ding.
Seeing his opponent's long sword turn red, Qiu Ding knew that it was a decisive victory, and the long sword in his hand also began to turn red.
He took a big step forward to the right, dodging the opponent's frontal slash. He grasped the hilt of the sword tightly with both hands, turned his body with a low body, and used a spinning slash to sweep Jiang Lie's lower body.
Jiang Lie could choose to jump away to avoid Qiu Ding's attack, but he chose to fight hard. He held the hilt of the sword behind his back with both hands, and thrust the sword tip toward the ground.
The audience only heard a loud "clang" sound as the two late trainee knights hit each other with all their strength.
Qiu Ding took a step forward with his right foot and stood firm.
Jiang Lie took three steps back before releasing the huge force.
Qiu Ding straightened his arms in front of his chest and turned clockwise. He kept rushing towards Jiang Lie with his feet. When he came in front of him, his arms were strong and the tip of his sword slashed diagonally from the lower right to the upper left.
This trick has a famous name, called "pushing the clouds to see the sun".
Jiang Lie suffered a little loss in the hard fight just now. He used the strength of his upper body to resist the strength of Qiu Ding's whole body.
But he had no choice. He opened the distance and let Qiu Ding hit him. The power of the "Tiantian Sword" was even greater.
Facing Qiu Ding's "pushing the clouds to see the sun", Jiang Lie still couldn't hide. He gritted his teeth, raised his sword with both arms, and slashed downward with all his strength.
"Bang!" There was another ear-splitting sound, and some female spectators couldn't help but cover their ears with their hands.
"Thum, thump, thump" Jiang Lie took seven or eight steps back before he stood firm.
Qiu Ding, who had not taken a step back, took small steps with his feet and started to jog, bringing the long sword behind him. When he came to Jiang Lie, he picked up the long sword and made a spin above his head, then went down from top to bottom and drew an arc to the right.
, slashing towards Jiang Lie's waist.
The move "Pull the Clouds to See the Sun" just now made Jiang Lie's mouth numb, and half of his fighting energy was quickly consumed. He had no time to dodge, so he swung his sword with both arms and imitated the "Pull the Clouds to See the Sun" to hit Qiu Ding's sword hard.
"Clang" was heard for the third time. This time Jiang Lie did not retreat because the long sword in his hand flew out.
When Jiang Lie chose to fight head-on, he actually lost. Qiu Ding's "Qingtian Sword" was least afraid of fighting head-on, and Jiang Lie's strength was lower. If he chose to avoid a head-on confrontation and use roaming
In a war of attrition, it is not a problem to delay three to five hundred moves.
Zeng Jian nudged Ding Kui with his elbow and said, "It looks very fierce. Can you handle it?"
"If he fights like this," Ding Kui turned around, "I will eat him to death."
On the other side, Zongyi's game has ended. He is already at the peak of his training as a trainee knight. When he comes up, he attacks his opponent with a long sword full of fighting spirit.
The player from Baifeng City was not fast enough to escape Zongyi's attack. He barely managed to block more than twenty attacks, then he couldn't hold on any longer and voluntarily raised his hands to admit defeat.
By this time, some spectators had already left the stands, the most exciting game of the first round had been played, and they were going to have lunch in the cafeteria of the Knights Guild.
The distinguished guests on the podium also began to leave at this time, leaving only those city owners who still had their own players competing.
Most of the audience did not leave because they brought their own food.
Once you come to the Knights Guild, you will stay there for a whole day, and the food in the guild cafeteria is not cheap, so I would rather bring food from home than eat in the guild cafeteria.
The players from Black Earth City left the rest area and returned to their residences to rest and prepare for the second round in the afternoon.
The afternoon game is very crucial for Ding Kui. It can be said to be the most important game in the group stage. His opponent is Qiu Ding who just finished the game.
This matchup is called by outsiders "the seeded player most likely to be upset". Qiu Ding is the least favored top ten seed player, and Ding Kui is the most favored bottom ten seed player.
Especially after the first game, the odds offered by gambling houses for Ding Kui dropped wildly.
Now Ding Kui's odds of winning the championship have fallen to 1.80 to 1, making him the favorite after Ji Xing, while Ding Kui's odds of advancing to the state competition are only 1.11 to 1.
"Don't say it's unreasonable. If you're unhappy, you don't have to bet." This was the answer from the casino staff.
The reward offered by the gambling house for defeating Ding Kui has been increased to 50,000 gold coins. Several shareholders of the gambling house are already restless. If Ding Kui wins, these shareholders will go bankrupt and be forced to sell their shares.
At noon, the latest issue of "Moon Viewing", which was released in advance, aroused everyone's opinions.
Mu Sen, editor-in-chief of "Yanhuang Magazine" issued a statement:
Due to various reasons, I cannot evaluate the strength of one player. That player is Ding Kui from the Black Earth City Knights Guild. The "Top Ten Masters" I previously evaluated did not include this player. Otherwise, the "Top Ten Players"
The ranking of "master" will change. In order to avoid misjudgment by my loyal readers, I hereby declare that you should not participate in gambling based on my evaluation of the players. Finally, gambling is risky, please do not place bets easily.
.
Now many people scolded me, "I didn't tell you earlier, and I didn't tell you until the game started. Isn't this a lie?"
Some people also said, "Ding Kui is their boss behind the scenes. This matter has been thought of for a long time. Who would comment on the boss's affairs at will? It is interesting enough to say it."
Ding Kui can't hear what people outside say now. He is listening to Zeng Qing's teachings.
"I carefully observed the opponents in your group. As long as you play steadily and nothing happens, it is not difficult to win the first place in the group. You have to deal with it well in the afternoon game. If you beat Qiu Ding, the other players will not be able to do anything.
I'm afraid." Zeng Qing warned.
"It's a pity that I didn't see the record. It would be great if there were replays of the game between Yan Wei and Ba Xi." Ding Kui let it slip again.
"Replay? How can a high-priced magician cast "Time Recall" for such a competition? Don't always have such strange thoughts. Even the magicians from the County Magic Guild will not come to watch the competition."
