Although the attendance rate was impressive, what relieved Xia Yu was that bets could be placed on all arenas.
However, in an arena like the one Xia Yu participated in, there were few bettors and the odds were not high, so it could only be said to be better than nothing.
If Xia Yu wanted to make money from this kind of gambling like he did in Lening City, it would be almost impossible.
Although he did not lack the money, Xia Yu still made a bet for himself. He did not seek to get rich suddenly, but just expressed a sense of confidence.
???As for reaching for the stars, even if it was just for fun, he didn't bother to play such a boring gamble that he must win, so he entered the venue directly and sat in the audience.
????This time his opponent is called Wang Ziyi, whose strength is still at the fourth level of Xuan level, and the weapon he uses is a sword.
However, this prince also has a record of five arena games, with four wins and one loss. He can be regarded as a practitioner with some experience in the arena.
After the ? salute, the prince also attacked first.
His swordsmanship was very fancy, with a few sword flowers, he pressed towards Xia Yudou with his head covered.
???Xia Tianyu flicked his wrist.
??Point??!Cut??????????Stab!???Another three sword movements.
The sharp sword energy directly shattered the sword flowers in the air, and his long sword was placed on Wang Ziyi's neck.
????This time, Xia Yu's long sword did not cut the skin of his opponent's neck. However, Xia Yu still sighed secretly. He still did not meet the requirements of reaching the stars, and he would probably be scolded again if he went back.
First of all, the "point" at the beginning is redundant and not necessary at all.
The opponent's sword was lost, and there was some blood on his right wrist. Although Xia Yu's sword energy just now did not damage the opponent's arm meridians, it did damage the skin after all. According to the requirements of Star Reaching, Xia Yu should not let the opponent get hurt.
To be fair, Star Reaching's requirements for Xia Yu are not very high. When two people are facing each other, the situation changes rapidly. It is very, very difficult to do it without using more swords or using more Qi.
It's one thing to think about it afterwards, but it's another thing when it happens.
However, Xia Yu also knows that the reason why Star Reaching places high demands on himself is because of his good qualifications. On the other hand, although his realm is the fourth level of Xuanjie, it is the realm of Dzogchen. Naturally, he cannot use the right one.
Ask yourself according to the requirements of ordinary practitioners.
After defeating Wang Ziyi, Xia Yu's results in the arena became two wins. To be precise, Mulin Kai's results became two wins.
The next arena was scheduled for tomorrow morning by the Hall of Heroes. Xia Yu left the arena and saw Zhaixing. He said with some guilt: "Master, my disciple still did not meet your requirements today."
I thought I would be scolded a few times, but I didn't know that Zhai Xing just smiled lightly and said, "It doesn't matter, let's continue and go back."
After returning to the inn, Xia Yu shut himself in the room and summarized the gains from today's practice.
...In the third game, the opponent was in the fifth level of Xuan level, his weapon was a sword, his record was zero, and he was a complete newcomer.
Xia Yu was still defeated by Xia Yu. Although the opponent's arm was intact, there was no external injury or any damage to the meridians, his neck was scratched by Xia Yu's sword.
...In the fourth game, the opponent was at the third level of the Mysterious Realm, armed with a spear, and had a record of 16 wins and 8 losses. He was considered a relatively experienced opponent.
Xia Yu's victory still only used three moves, and the opponent was only defeated but not injured.
However, Xia Yu concluded that this was the reason why the other party was at a lower level.
If the other party is in the same realm as him, he can't prevent the other party from getting hurt.
Afterwards, Xia Yu did not dare to relax and continued to summarize and compete.
In the fifth game, the opponent was a fourth-level Xuan-level player, his weapon was a sword, and his record was seven wins and two losses.
The victory still only took three swords, and this time the opponent was still defeated without being injured. However, among the three swords, one sword was still redundant.
However, although he concluded afterwards that the sword was unnecessary, when facing the enemy head-on and facing the opponent's attack, Xia Yu's subconscious reaction was unable to save the unnecessary sword.
In the Hall of Heroes, winning five games in a row is actually not an amazing result. Those powerful practitioners can remain undefeated in more than ten or even dozens of games. What's more, Xia Yu's realm is relatively low, so it did not cause any problems.
Ideas about the Hall of Heroes.
However, some people discovered that this cultivator named Mulinkai ended every battle with only three swords. This was something new.
Therefore, Xia Yu still has a few "fans" in these five arenas.
After the fifth ring, Xia Yu found that he could not figure out how to save that sword. He remembered every detail in the ring clearly. When he faced the opponent, the extra sword was not
It's completely useless.
But if you think about it carefully afterwards, you can still win without that sword.
Xia Yu really couldn't figure it out, so he couldn't help asking about Zhaixing and explained his confusion.
Zhaixing smiled and asked lightly: "Why do you always have to strike first?"
Boom! It was like a thunder exploding in Xia Yu's mind.
That's right! Although he seemed to be attacking at the same time as his opponent in these five battles, he was actually deliberately slower than his opponent.
This is not a sign of weakness, but a habit. You can see the opponent's situation clearly before making the move.
But why did he have to strike later?
Being first doesn't mean that you can't beat others.
"This may have something to do with your experience..." Zhaixing said, "When I look at your actions, most of them choose to use the back-up approach.
Perhaps this can help you better assess your opponent, but if you strike first, you can also assess your opponent's strength based on their reaction.
Therefore, acting first and acting second should not be a limitation.
The great road is invisible, so you must not have any stereotypes in your heart... Do you understand?"
Xia Yu thought about it for a moment, then he was sincerely convinced and bowed, "Master, I understand!"
...In the sixth game, the opponent Li Tao was at the fifth level of the Mysterious Realm. His weapon was a knife, and he had a record of ten wins and six losses.
The attendance rate of this arena reached 60%, and among them, there were some people who came here because they wanted to see Mulinkai, who had weird swordsmanship and could win with only three swords.
But these people are destined not to see the Three Swords today.
After the two sides saluted, Xia Yu took the lead to take action, and the sharp sword energy easily shattered Li Tao's layers of sword energy.
With just one stab, Xia Yu gained victory and put his sword on the opponent's neck.
"You lost..." Xia Yu's face flashed with relief.
The opponent was defeated but not injured, and the two swords he used had no extra sword power.
In the audience, Zhaixing nodded with satisfaction. He was really satisfied with this apprentice. Although he revealed Xia Yu's problem in one sentence, habits are not so easy to change. He did not expect Xia Yu to be so quick.
