The players in Zhongwangzhou are higher than the national average and lead the country together with Wangzhou. These two states often share half of the top ten in the national competition. The strength of those who can be among the best in Zhongwangzhou competitions cannot be underestimated.
Ding Kui used an ordinary long sword to compete with Jiang Cao, but he did not have an advantage in the situation. If he had not improved his sword skills, he would have been suppressed by Jiang Cao.
Jiang Cao has solid skills, excellent qualifications, rich fighting experience, and a unique understanding of "Flying Fish Sword". He is a player with strong all-round strength.
Ding Kui has a slight advantage in terms of strength, footwork, swordsmanship and detail processing, but is slightly inferior in terms of stature, fighting spirit, endurance and absolute speed.
Qian You was watching the battle from the sidelines, otherwise it would be very easy for Ding Kui to win as soon as the magic or hypnotism came out. The knight's strength alone would not be able to deal with Jiang Cao.
Two red extended swords were dancing in the martial arts arena. Ding Kui and Jiang Cao had competed with each other for over 500 moves, and for a while it was hard to tell who could win.
It is not easy to meet an opponent of equal strength. Ding Kui has the opportunity to practice his newly learned sword moves; Jiang Cao is not impatient and tries to control the battle at his own pace. Winning or losing is not important to him. What is important is to fully demonstrate his strength. his purpose.
Ouch, this nephew is really difficult to deal with. He is the most powerful knight of the same level I have ever encountered, much better than Dai Le from Shanya County.
Ding Kui's strength had just improved, but he still showed some shortcomings when facing Jiang Cao. It was very difficult to defeat a grudge knight who was at his peak in the later stage using normal means.
He also didn't want to think about it. He had just entered the later stage of Blade Knight, and his ability to fight Jiang Cao like this without the use of famous swords and magic had already surprised many people.
"The talents cultivated by the Jiang family are really powerful. They use sword moves completely according to their own characteristics. The younger brother has difficulty controlling the situation with swordsmanship. This is a rare situation I have seen." Feng Liang had to admire the way the big family cultivates talents. A family like the Feng family can compare.
"The prince's mental power is all over the martial arts field. It is impossible to lose before his physical strength and fighting spirit are exhausted. If he were a magician of the same level as me, I would have lost long ago." What Qianyou can "see" Dong Dong is more than Feng Liang, and has a deeper understanding of the fighting in the field.
Indeed, Ding Kui had an accurate judgment on Jiang Cao's reaction and subsequent moves, but due to his absolute shortcomings, he could only defend well and hardly have a chance to counterattack.
Jiang Cao had long seen that Ding Kui could not be defeated with a strong attack, and the most prudent way was to use up his energy. He was confident enough in terms of his fighting spirit and endurance.
"No more fighting," Ding Kui jumped out of the fighting circle, "If we keep fighting like this, I should lose, and my fighting spirit will be exhausted earlier."
"My cousin asked me to do it. If you use 'Yue Shang', I will be the one who uses up all your fighting energy first." Jiang Cao knew the main effect of "Yue Shang", and he had already lost in a fight with Ding Kui who used an ordinary long sword. "You have a 70% chance of winning when you meet Dragon Calm in the competition."
"It is said that Yang Yuanzhou's Dragon Shuang is more powerful than Dragon Calm. There is a high probability of a shield-breaking knight appearing in the finals of the national competition. It is not easy to reach the top ten." Ding Kui's intelligence collection work was very good.
Although there were no reporters in Zhenjing City, Lao Qiantou was around. He Laizi did his duty and they did not forget to understand the situation of Ding Kui's potential opponents.
"The patriarch said that if we reach the national competition, we have completed the task. Let us try our best to win the final ranking in the national competition." Jiang Yu did not feel any pressure at all. She did not have the ability to compete for the top ten.
Although I am not a contestant of the right age, I carry the honor of Protector of the Country on my back and the dignity of the "Yueshang" sword in my hand. I have no decent results and cannot explain myself in many aspects.
Ding Kui's mouth was bitter, but he couldn't say it clearly, so he could only change the topic: "Xiao Xiao, arrange a separate courtyard with them, and keep personal guards on duty to prevent anyone from approaching while they practice.
I have a few senior brothers, sisters and classmates here. If you have the opportunity, you can communicate with them more. With your strength, you can impart some experience to them. In addition, you can treat yourself as if you are at home with me. If you have any needs, just tell the servants.
.”
He is the elder in name and has the responsibility to take care of Jiang Cao and Jiang Yu, even if he is unwilling to accept this in his heart.
The arrival of Jiang Cao and Jiang Yu stimulated the boys and girls who came to watch the game. They could feel at ease if they could not beat Ding Kui. After discovering the gap with the Jiang brothers and sisters, they could no longer calm down. They greatly reduced the time for playing around.
They all increased their training and humbly asked the Jiang brothers and sisters for advice from time to time.
"Master, Jiang Wen, the son of the Marquis of Changyun County, wants to see you." Ding Cai reported outside the hospital.
As the national competition approaches, the Protector's Mansion becomes a little uneasy.
Ding Kui entered the competition ranked tenth in Wangzhou. The young knights in and around the capital city who had not qualified for the national competition wanted to defeat him to prove that they had the strength to participate in the national competition. However, Wangzhou was too strong and was buried.
"Go and see if Jiang Cao and Jiang Yu are free and ask them to fight for me." Ding Kui couldn't stop these people from coming, but he could not come forward and let the Jiang brothers and sisters, who were also contestants, deal with it.
After a competition with Jiang Cao, Ding Kui started special training to deal with his own shortcomings. He was not in the mood to deal with the noble children who came to fight.
The training of speed and endurance requires a lot of time. Unlike Dou Qi Kung Fu, where there is visible progress every time you practice, you may not see any progress after a month, which is relatively boring.
With Jiang Cao, who ranked second in Zhongwangzhou, in charge, all the challengers who came to challenge him during this period failed, making him quite famous in the capital.
This kind of competition between teenagers is popular among noble families. You can't drive away the challenger, or ask the palace guards or personal guards to fight for you. You can only arrange for your own juniors to fight like Ding Kui did. Although this
The junior is still two years older, but still within a reasonable range.
Common people cannot come to challenge these people at will. The nobles support exchanges between their disciples, but they cannot allow common people to challenge their dignity.
Players with a certain level of strength and reputation rarely challenge others before a game. It's easy to win, but if they lose, it will affect their mentality during the game.
Dai Le reached fifth place in the state competition in Yangyuan Prefecture. This genius from Shanya County wanted to challenge him everywhere, but the officials from the Qiyang branch who brought him to the capital warned him many times not to provoke the children of aristocratic families.
They wouldn't even let him in.
"Master, Dai Le from Shanya County would like to see you." Ding Cai's report interrupted Ding Kui's training.
"Haha, we meet again, Brother Dai, but you still want to discuss with me?" Ding Kui had a good impression of this guy who dared to stand up for Xiaohua.
"Your Majesty, don't laugh at me. How can I be your opponent? Besides, my status is not qualified to compete. You helped me last time, and this time I came here to express my gratitude." Although Dai Le is thick-skinned,
But he didn't dare to pretend in front of Ding Kui.
"You thanked me last time. I think you have another purpose. When did you learn to talk in roundabout ways?" "I don't believe it" was written on Ding Kui's face.
"Ah, this is nothing. I finally came to Zhenjing City. There are many masters gathered here, but I didn't have a chance to compete with them. I was so anxious.
I heard that there are many people coming here, and I wanted to ask if you can arrange for me to play a few games. It doesn't matter whether I win or lose, as long as I can win." Dai Le didn't blush even if his little thoughts were exposed.
Ding Kui was made to laugh and cry: winning or losing doesn't matter to you, but what I arranged does matter to me. These idiots are not stupid to themselves.
"Jiang Yu, let's compete with this genius from Shanya County. Don't hurt Brother Dai." Ding Kui would always call a few companions when visiting guests.
"Can she hurt me? Just let go and fight. I, Dai Le, am not a man who gets hurt easily." Dai Le looked at Jiang Yu, a little unconvinced.
Half an hour later, Dai Le returned to the living room holding his left cheek, followed by Jiang Yu with an apologetic expression on his face.
"Oh, if you're not going to hit someone in the face, you might have struck too hard, Jiang Yu." Ding Kui understood at a glance. He knew the strength of those two people.
"Well, I can't blame Miss Jiang. My blow was too fast and she couldn't hold it back. Not many people can react so quickly. She has done a very good job without knocking out my teeth." Dai Le
He was the first to explain to Jiang Yu that if he hadn't come up with a dangerous trick to win, Jiang Yu wouldn't have been unable to hold back.
"Little cousin, it's my fault. He drew his sword too fast. If I were slower, I wouldn't be able to keep up." Jiang Yu lowered her head in embarrassment.
"What?! Are you her cousin? I lost to your niece?" Dai Le was shocked.
"Ah, the Jiang family is a big family, that's how it goes in terms of seniority, but she should be a little older than you. It's normal for you to lose. Don't worry about these details." Ding Kui couldn't figure out which cigarette the genius had smoked this day.
Muscles.
"I shouldn't, I shouldn't wait for your door. I can't win every time you are around. This time the blow is too big. I lost to your niece. I will still have a chance to catch up with you in the future.
"?" Dai Le carefully reflected on every situation when he met Ding Kui.
"Master Dai, my little cousin is only sixteen this year. Even my cousin is no match for him. You really have no chance of catching up with him." Jiang Yu spoke without turning around.
"Who is your brother?"
"Second place in Wangzhou, Jiang Cao."
"Your Majesty, farewell!" Dai Le turned around and left, never dragging his feet, for fear that he would receive more blows if he stayed any longer.
"Little cousin, is he really the fifth in Yangyuan Province? It feels easy to deal with." Jiang Yu didn't ask this until Dai Le left, otherwise it would break Dai Le's heart.
"I'm afraid that except for Long Shuang, no other contestant in Yangyuan Prefecture can beat you. This state faces Qi, Cao and Meng. It is threatened by war all the year round, and those families with inheritance do not want to stay there.
The real strength of the kingdom is Wangzhou and our Zhongwangzhou. The fifth place in other state competitions should not be your opponent. You have a place in the top 50 in the national competition." Ding Kui encouraged Jiang Yu.
