In this competition, everyone wears training armor of uniform specifications. The structure of this armor is basically the same as the power armor, but there are many damage determination devices. Once both sides drag into the draw, they will score the winner by score.
There are three ways to win the game:
Blade the opponent down the athletic platform
One party can't get up ten seconds after falling to the ground
One party admits defeat
The maximum time for each battle is not more than ten minutes. Once the timeout is exceeded and no one on both sides wins, it will be considered a draw and damage points will be scored.
Ustad chose the sword he is best at as a weapon, which is a long sword that can be used with one hand or both, and he also requested an additional secondary sword.
When he walked onto the athletic platform with his helmet in his arms, he saw his opponent.
It was a big man with scarred face, with a black armor (the color can be selected), and a huge thunder hammer in his hands.
During the game, power is not allowed for all weapons. At this time, using a larger weapon is actually more advantageous and easier to knock down the opponent.
The other party is very smart and powerful, but Ustad will not fail easily.
"I am Fabian Banerga of the Dawn Hammer Chapter!"
Ustad's opponent shouted, his voice duller than any engine.
"Welcome, brothers from the Astral Knights, let's fight today!"
After saying that, Fabian Banega buckled his helmet.
Ustad knew very well that his opponent was not just a champion, but also a battlefield commander. This identity often required the respect of other soldiers, and this respect could only be obtained in battles on the front line.
He would be a valuable opponent.
"I am Ustad from the Astral Knight."
Ustad stepped forward until he stood opposite Fabian Banega.
"It's also a privilege to be able to compete with a great warrior like you."
The referee appeared next to the two at the right time.
“Are you ready?”
Ustad nodded, put on his helmet, then took two steps back, used his sword to get started, and made a gesture.
The same was true for Fabian Banega. The heavy hammer in his hand was like a firewood, swinging a semicircle in the air and blowing up the dust on the ground.
The referee glanced left and right, then his arms raised fell heavily.
"start!"
Fabian Banerga moved forward silently, swung his heavy hammer at Ustad, intending to hit the opponent's chest with one blow and win instantly.
Ustad then raised his sword and used the power-release technique taught by Thor to block the war hammer.
The fighting dance entered a brand new urgent movement.
Fabian Banega's combat skills are among the best in his battles, but Ustad has been training for such a battle for many years.
When we went back and forth, both of us had an estimate of each other's strength.
Surprised by his opponent's superb sword skills, Fabian Banerga gradually became serious and no longer tried to solve the battle with one blow, but instead forced Ustad's move with repeated heavy blows, gradually suppressing him to the edge of the competitive platform.
"If it were me, I would choose to attack that guy's lower plate."
On the viewing platform, Talos and Soshiyan were watching the battle in the camera attentively, and Talos would express his views from time to time.
"The best way to deal with this kind of bull-like guy is to make him unable to balance. Attacking his knees or waist is a good strategy."
"It's not that simple. The opponent chose a long-handled hammer to keep the battle at a safe distance."
"But the disadvantage of the long-handled hammer is also obvious."
As Talos said, the Thunder Hammer has a too high center of gravity, so each blow will appear too heavy.
Ustad seemed to have found this weakness, and began to use sword blades to deflect the opponent's weapons again and again during the thunder hammer attack, inducing them to invest more power.
A little longer, and in a while, he will find his chance.
"ha!!"
Ustad deliberately sold a flaw, and Fabian Banega was fooled, and roared and used a full blow.
But Ustad is ready.
This time, he was not in a hurry to resist his opponent's attack, but chose to dodge skillfully.
When the terrifying roar of the thunder hammer rang in his ears, Ustad remained calm. He leaned over quickly and avoided his opponent's two waves in a row.
When Fabian Banega attacked again, he finally revealed a huge flaw.
He wanted to eliminate Ustad with an extremely powerful attack, but as he accumulated his strength, his thunder hammer lifted too high and stood still on his head for too long.
This is enough, Ustad sees through the opponent's attack routine.
In the coherent and dexterous movement, he rushed into the opponent's dead corner, and the sword blade drew a curve and slashed over the opponent's left knee.
"ah!"
Fabian Banega growled and his body involuntarily tilted to the left.
Ustad slapped the sword on the opponent's wrist, and the war hammer fell to the ground.
Fabian Banerga yelled in the failure, eager to grab his weapon again, but it was too late.
Ustad's sword was already on his neck.
The Hammer of Dorn, who was in a half-squatting posture, froze in an instant. It was not until more than ten seconds later that he let out a long sigh and took off his helmet.
"I admit defeat, you won, brothers Ustad."
"Just luck."
Ustad reached out, pulled the other person up, and gave a hug.
"Brother, your swordsmanship is great, I look forward to your performance later."
After the two embraced each other, there was no connection that had ever been in competition. Fabian Banerga even looked at Ustad with an admiring look.
"Of course, I'll do my best."
When he returned to the viewing platform after his competition, Ustad saw Soshiyan's smile.
"Good fight! I said, you can definitely do it!"
Ustad scratched the hair on his head with a little embarrassed.
"Just... good luck."
The second round of competition time is slightly faster than the first round, and then the third round.
After the budget competition, the winners came to the secondary ritual platform. They represented the 16 battle groups, namely the Empire Fist, the Black Hall, the Scarlet Fist, the Executioner, the Steel Knight, the Sky Lion, the Fire Lord, the Tiger of Fear, the Red Hall, the White Hall, the Son of Dorn, the Conqueror, the Midnight Sword, the Death Assault, the Emperor's Catastrophe, and the Knight of the Stars to participate in the next round of the competition.
Similarly, participants decide their opponents by drawing lots.
Five minutes later, Ustad returned to the viewing platform and told Soshiyan the opponent he had drawn.
"My opponent is the White Temple, the champion of the Second Company, Monk Muthari, a veteran who has served for three hundred years. His weapon of choice is the sword and shield."
