Long Shuang felt a little anxious. Long Tan from the collateral line firmly ranked first in the fourth group, and he was a shield-breaker knight just like him. As someone who had just returned to his family tree, he couldn't let the children of the collateral line steal the limelight.
The significance of winning Yang Mian in this game is very important.
Yang Mian is the future heir to the No. 1 family in the country. His arrogance has already suffered a setback in the state competition, but this is a baptism for him. The heavy burden of wanting to win and being afraid of losing is completely thrown away. Long Shuang's promotion is due to Yang Mian.
In anticipation, his calm response put huge pressure on Long Shuang.
Both people in the field have reasons why they cannot lose. Even if they lose, they can still advance to the finals.
So far in this Knights Competition, a total of four Shield-Breaking Knights have appeared. Even if there are still some who hide their strength, they have locked up the first place in the group. The six best-recorded second-placed Knights in the group will definitely have their seats.
.
Long Shuang's reaction and experience in close combat were not as good as Yang Mian's. He gritted his teeth and, knowing that his fighting spirit might be lower than his opponent's, he opened a distance and used sword radiance to fight with Yang Mian.
In the previous game, Yang Mian took advantage of Long Shuang's inexperience and deceived Long Shuang into using a few sword lights that were of little use. His consumption was less than that of his opponent. At this time, the sword light attack played into his plan.
.
Regardless of subsequent combat capabilities, the Shield-Breaking Knight can fire two to three hundred sword beams. Long Shuang chooses this all-out fighting style. If he cannot defeat his opponent before his fighting spirit is exhausted, he will definitely lose.
It can't be said that he made the wrong choice. After losing in the beginning, Yang Mian had the upper hand. He simply gave it a try and lost vigorously. It was better than having someone control his rhythm and die slowly.
The spectators in Arena No. 10 were in awe. Ordinary people had no chance to witness the scene of swords clashing. The crimson swords kept colliding in the air, or were occasionally split apart by long swords, which very intuitively reflected the fierce confrontation between the two players.
spell.
Long Yan, who had exhausted all his fighting spirit, saw his last sword light colliding in the air. He had to raise his hand to signal the referee to admit defeat, and lost in this visually shocking battle.
Ding Kui didn't watch the rest of the game. He had seen that scene a lot. He had seen the scenes of swords and magic flying all over the sky. Long Shuang and the others were just children. He estimated that Kong Ren in this group would finish first in no time.
For a game, it is better to go back early to avoid missing your own game time.
The first game ended the earliest in the No. 1 field. The strong Shaodian Fei defeated his opponent without any suspense. Maybe there was someone behind the scenes. At the end of the game, he shot a sword in the air, announcing the fact that he had advanced. In this way, this competition
A total of five shield-breaking knights appeared.
Not everyone understands the random matching method. The people standing behind Shaodian Fei must be the informed party. Those who have speculated about this method before are more certain that the strength of the players is related to it.
No one in the ninth group could stop Levan, the dark horse, from adding to his winning streak.
Yao Sheng and Long Tan encountered strong resistance, but after the two shield-breaking knights fired their swords, their opponents were unable to parry and successfully won the game.
Xuanyuan of the seventh group also encountered a little trouble, and it took a lot of effort to deal with the opponent.
The first games of the fifth, sixth and eighth groups are still not over, and the competition has entered a fever pitch.
Jiang Cao and Bai Zhen, Mu Ran and Bao Lei, Lu Zhi and Fan Jun are all fighting blade knights at the peak of the later period, and their strength is very close. They all attack the opponent's flaws while ensuring that they don't make mistakes, and the game is played.
It became a stalemate, and it would be difficult for them to decide the winner unless they competed to the last minute.
It’s impossible not to fight hard. Who can be sure that he can enter the finals as the second place in the group? If he loses this game, he will probably go home.
It is normal for a match of this caliber to last for an hour or two.
When the referee informed Ding Kui that he was ready to appear, Ding Caicai reported the news that Jiang Cao had won.
You must know that Ding Kui played in the last game of the third group, and he had already played four games before.
It is not unfounded to say that the strength of the six people is close. After the fifth lady ended the battle for first place, Mu Ran from the sixth group and Lu Zhi from the eighth group defeated Bao Lei and Fan Jun respectively in a short period of time.
As a seed player, he won the first place in the group.
The last one who was confirmed to win the first place in the group was actually the third group that lost all suspense first. Due to the competition system, Ding Kui was the last group leader to finish the game. His opponent resisted for five minutes symbolically. It was really
Unable to stand his boring style of play, he threw up his hands and admitted defeat.
Although there are still venues for the group stage, the ten group winners who directly entered the finals were born, Shao Dianfei, Yao Sheng, Ding Kui, Long Tan, Jiang Cao, Mu Ran, Xuanyuan, Lu Zhi, Lie Fan and Yang Mian.
By state, there are three big winners in Zhongwangzhou, only two in Zhuwangzhou are slightly inferior, one each in Linhai Prefecture, Shanyuan Prefecture, Haishan Prefecture, Hailin Prefecture and Xihai Prefecture. The results are almost as expected before the game.
No state has suddenly emerged to break the original pattern.
In terms of strength, there have been four shield-breaking knights, which has broken the record of more than 700 knight competitions in the past. Counting Long Shuang who did not win the first place in the group, this competition has the most shield-breaking knights in history.
.
"Congratulations, young master. Congratulations, young master. It's rare in the history of the kingdom to reach the finals of the knight competition when you are two years younger." Ding Cai would not give up the first flattery. After Ding Kui finished the game and came out, he took the lead.
Everyone congratulated Ding Kui before.
"What's the point? I just want to see how the prince educates the young magicians sent by the Magician Association. It's really exciting." Qianyou said with a bit of gloating.
Lu Ying squeezed Ding Cai away, hugged Ding Kui's arm and said, "Ding Datou, how should you celebrate after reaching the finals? Just let me and sister Ding Xiao make arrangements, and we will definitely satisfy you."
"You, you've been playing around lately. This time, the teacher won't let you go out for at least a year." Ding Kui reached out and ruffled Lu Ying's head, "It's up to you. Jiang Cao also won the first place, let Jiang Yu follow
Let’s do it together and make everyone happy.”
After receiving the approval, Lu Ying ignored his messed up head and chattered his thoughts to Ding Kui along the way. It was difficult for others to say a word to Ding Kui.
Lu Ji rarely restrained his daughter and allowed her to jump up and down in Ding's house. He had already made an agreement with Ding Kui that Ding Kui would take on the responsibility of his senior brother, and Lu Ying would be given to Ding Kui to discipline him while he was in the capital.
When the group returned to the gate of the Protector's Mansion, a young man in brocade robes stood on the roadside and looked at Ding Kui, who was approaching, with a friendly smile.
"Master Shaodian, why don't you go into the mansion and sit and wait? Do you think it's a humble house?" Ding Kui dismissed Lu Ying and walked quickly to the young man in brocade robes.
This young man in brocade robes is Shaodianmi, the director of the Department of Internal Security. "Not long after I arrived, I learned that Ding Duhu was about to return home, so I stopped here for a while."
What is this person doing here today? Has Uncle Jiang’s affairs been exposed?
Ding Kui murmured in his heart, but on the surface he still invited Shaodian Mi into his house with great enthusiasm.
Entering the Hou Mansion, Ding Kui's address changed, "Brother Mi, you don't come to my house for anything. I haven't caused you any trouble recently."
Shaodianmi waved his hand and said, "Brother Kui, let's find a quiet place to talk."
Seeing that Shaodian was so mysterious, Ding Kui's heart tightened and he quietly took him to the study.
After making sure that no one was eavesdropping, Shaodianmi said: "You haven't caused any trouble to me, but recently someone wanted to cause trouble for you, and the matter has been brought to the king."
"What do you want to tell the king?" Ding Kui didn't understand.
"This matter is a secret report from a minister to the king. I shouldn't have told you originally, but brother, how could I see you being tripped up and still stand by and watch." Shaodian Mi first expressed his merit.
Okay, I believe it for the time being. If Shao Diandan doesn’t nod, how dare you come and tell me? Why do you think the relationship between the Spy Intelligence Department and me hasn’t reached this point yet?
Ding Kui felt contempt in his heart and said, "I've thanked Brother Mi first. What is it that deserves your special attention to tell me?"
"Answer me a question first, has anyone from the Eighth Legion been to the Protector's Mansion?" Shaodianmi asked in a low voice, although there was no one on either side.
Oh, it has nothing to do with Uncle Jiang. Fan Yuzhen was noticed last time when he came here.
Ding Kui secretly breathed a sigh of relief, "I've been here. Captain Fan, who escorted the special envoy of the Senate to Pingzhong County last time, came here and had a duel with my guards."
"Well, that's right. Someone has secretly reported to you, but no one can tell you, saying that you secretly had an affair with an officer of the Eighth Army, with ulterior motives and evil intentions. You have a grudge against your Majesty for depriving the Ding family of military power. You will definitely treat your Majesty in the future.
Make an unfavorable move." Shaodianmi stared at Ding Kui intently.
"How can such nonsense be made up?!" Ding Kui slammed the table and stood up angrily, "Captain Fan wanted to thank me for the reception I received when I was in Pingzhong County. He knew that I came to the capital and came to visit me during the holiday. How could he
Being said so badly?"
"Good brother, calm down, good brother, calm down," Shao Dianmi stood up and pushed Ding Kui back to the chair, "The king will definitely not believe these rumors, but how can someone come to the king to plot against you?
What you did in Anchang last time went a bit too far, making it difficult for people from the Ministry of Legal Affairs to come to Taiwan. Frequent cases in the Department of Water Affairs made people in the Ministry of Human Resources complain. People in the Ministry of Agriculture and Industry must also hate you.
Dear brother, you should think more about it. In less than a year since you arrived in Zhenjing City, most of the Government Affairs Council has offended you, especially since you defeated Kong Ren a few days ago. The Ministry of Culture and Education should not have a good impression of you.
.
Let me tell you one more thing. Behind the Cai family in Kengzhu City is the support of the Fan family of the Ministry of Finance. That year, Jiang Nan made a big fuss in Kengzhu City. If I hadn't resolved the issue, the Fan family would have been very embarrassed."
"Oh my god, have you offended the entire Government Affairs Council?" Ding Kui was really surprised this time.
