The first round of preliminaries is over, and then comes the second round of preliminaries.
Different from the first round of preliminaries, this time there were far fewer people watching. As soon as everyone got the new bamboo cards, they went straight to the topic: either they rushed to make an appointment, or they went to the venue to line up and let the referee randomly point them.
.
Observation and testing have already been used in the first round. After ten days of competition, everyone found that the earlier you play, the more advantage you have, and the later you play, the more difficult it is to match. The best way is to ignore him.
One, let’s play two games first and then talk about it.
Two games will determine the outcome. If you can win both games and advance directly, that would be great. If you can't win, you can win one game, which is a sure thing.
As for losing two games in a row, then adjust your mentality and just wait in the back. After all the masters advance, the novices will form a team to kill each other.
Why not just save it until the end to kill the novices with low health? This is mainly because the novices with low health will leave as soon as they are defeated. If you want to win two games directly on top of them, you will need two back-ups.
Coupled with the large number of people who win one and lose three, the fastest elimination is in this final stage.
Therefore, the difficulty of matching in the final stage will increase rapidly as the number of people decreases. If there are not enough people to match in the final stage, the referee will select people from those who have advanced to match.
Once these people come on stage, the novices will have no chance of survival.
Since there was no need to wait for anyone to arrive, only three days were given for the second preliminaries.
An expert has calculated that five preliminaries need to be played this time. We must hurry up and finish the games before the New Year. Many people are still waiting to go home for the New Year.
Wei Ming and Fu Jianhan contributed two more wins to Huang Xiaoshi, and Huang Xiaoshi advanced directly.
Afterwards, Wei Ming competed with Fu Jianhan for a while, and Wei Ming won.
The results of the second round were the same as the first round, with Huang Xiaoshi winning two, Wei Ming winning two and losing one, and Fu Jianhan winning two and losing two.
…
In an open space somewhere in Huashan Mountain, Huang Xiaoshi was holding a bamboo sword and practicing swordsmanship with Fu Jianhan.
I saw Fu Jianhan playing with the dagger in his hand, stabbing, smearing, teasing, picking, splitting, sweeping, and intercepting. His movements were extremely delicate; at the other end, Huang Xiaoshi was holding a bamboo sword, and he was doing a few moves over and over again, but
The result was reversed, it was Huang Xiaoshi who was pressing down on Fu Jianhan.
As for the so-called swordsmanship, Huang Xiaoshi only knows two moves now, one is [Cut Down], and the other is [Hodgepodge Swordsmanship] which he learned from Fu Jianhan.
In fact, these two moves are enough. Most of Huang Xiaoshi only needs to use one move [Chowder Sword Technique].
[Chowder Sword Technique]: The sword is fired according to the heart, light and agile.
Although this trick seemed to have no effect, once Huang Xiaoshi used it, he felt that the bamboo sword in his hand came to life. What was in his hand was not a bamboo pole, but one of his own fingers.
The softness and toughness of the bamboo sword were brought to the limit by Huang Xiaoshi, and he could use all kinds of weird moves at will.
Fu Jianhan was sweating profusely from the beating, and Wei Ming was also stunned to see it.
Youdao means that every inch is longer and every inch is stronger. Holding a weapon is inherently more advantageous than being unarmed.
Weiming and Huang Xiaoshi fought three times, and although they had the advantage of equipment, they both ended up losing.
If Huang Xiaoshi had used a weapon, such as this thin bamboo pole that had just been broken off, Weiming felt that he might not be able to block fifty moves.
From the day Huang Xiaoshi used his sword to sparring with Fu Jianhan for the first time, in less than ten days, the progress of Huang Xiaoshi's swordsmanship was astonishing, and it was almost the same every day.
Huang Xiaoshi naturally realized the progress of his swordsmanship, and the credit must still go to Fu Jianhan.
In just a few days, Fu Jianhan has already iterated the [Chowder Sword Technique] four times.
At the beginning, Huang Xiaoshi’s [Hodgepodge Sword Technique] imitated from Fu Jianhan was not very easy to use.
[Chowder Sword Technique]: A set of self-created sword techniques that combine the strengths of various masters.
After Huang Xiaoshi used [Chowder Sword Technique] to fight Fu Jianhan for an entire afternoon, he suddenly received a reminder:
"You have learned a new skill [Chowder Sword Technique], do you want to replace it?"
Huang Xiaoshi curiously clicked to confirm.
"Your skill [Chowder Sword Technique] is replaced with [Chowder Sword Technique]."
Hey, what is this?
Huang Xiaoshi took a closer look and found that the description of [Chowder Sword Technique] had changed.
[Chowder Sword Technique]: Combining the strengths of various schools, the sword moves with ease.
It's amazing, Fu Jianhan's swordsmanship actually upgraded during the battle.
Through this period of continuous sparring, Fu Jianhan just upgraded the [Chowder Sword Technique] to the fourth generation. The current [Chowder Sword Technique] is extremely easy to use.
Huang Xiaoshi knew that this was Fu Jianhan's skill, but in the eyes of Fu Jianhan and Weiming, this was Huang Xiaoshi giving Fu Jianhan tricks.
Fu Jianhan's swordsmanship has improved rapidly in the past few days, but Huang Xiaoshi has always steadily suppressed him.
This is not surprising, because the ability of [Wuxian] is to copy the complete version of the skill, so the move was clearly understood by Fu Jianhan, but it turned out that Huang Xiaoshi was teaching him the same.
"Hoo, ho, ho." Fu Jianhan pulled back and distanced himself, and Huang Xiaoshi stopped immediately.
After Fu Jianhan had enough breathing, he asked Huang Xiaoshi: "Brother Xiaoshi, why didn't you use this set of swordsmanship when you fought me today?"
In today's two games, Huang Xiaoshi failed to win quickly. The battle with Weiming took more than a hundred moves to finish, and the battle with Fu Jianhan also took dozens of moves.
As worthy of being two martial arts wizards, Huang Xiaoshi's weakness has been clearly seen by them, that is, his short hands.
Whether it is the unidentified stick or Fu Jianhan's dagger, they are both longer than a human arm.
Even though he was only so long, Wei Ming and Fu Jianhan used Qinggong and pace to keep dragging Huang Xiaoshi.
Huang Xiaoshi also tried to use [Wave Fist] and [Tornado Kick] to break the situation, but the effect of these two skills was much worse without the blessing of [Killing Intention Wave].
Although Huang Xiaoshi won the two games today in a crushing manner, it was not easy to win.
When Fu Jianhan asked, Huang Xiaoshi smiled bitterly in his heart, but with a calm expression, he said lightly: "I forgot to bring the bamboo pole."
"Haha." Huang Xiaoshi said this, and Fu Jianhan and Weiming both laughed.
He is really a free and easy person, and he does free and easy things.
The two of them really believed it.
In fact, only Huang Xiaoshi knows the real reason: Brother, your swordsmanship has just evolved to the fourth generation, and I have trouble using the first three generations.
In this way, these three people would brag every day when they were free, compete in martial arts, and wait for the preliminaries. Soon they passed two more preliminaries.
After ten days of five preliminaries, due to various factors such as being forced to be eliminated, being unable to adapt to the high-intensity continuous battle, and voluntarily quitting after realizing that their skills were not as good as others, only fifteen of the hundreds of contestants were left.
people.
After a day's rest, the finals of the Young Heroes Association finally began.
…
In front of the competition ground specially prepared by the Huashan Sect, everyone was holding their breath as the host read out the ranking order for the final competition.
This ranking order was obtained after passing the literary test in the hall just now. Later, the scores in the literary test will be ranked from low to high, all the way to the top. The person who wins in the end will be the champion of the Young Hero Competition.
The first person in the literary test only needs to win one game to win the championship, and the last person in the literary test needs to win fourteen consecutive games.
Almost no one thinks that the last few people can get through the ladder. If they have this ability, it is really incredible, so the results of the literary test are extremely important.
"The first place in the literary test was Huang Xiaoshi.
Second place in the Literary Examination, Dongfang Weiming.
The third place in the literary test was Xu Zhen.
Fourth in literature and history, Cushi.
…”
It has to be said that the scholar's level is really very high. After receiving his tutoring, Huang Xiaoshi took the first place with full marks, and Weiming took the second place with almost full marks.
This time Fu Jianhan didn't act like a teenager and deliberately didn't answer the questions to get zero points so that he could start from the bottom.
After all, this time Fu Jianhan was beaten down by Huang Xiaoshi in the preliminaries, so it is better to be more down-to-earth. Fu Jianhan got seventh, right in the middle.
Subsequently, the host of the competition announced that the Young Heroes Association competition has officially begun.
"The first game is between Ximen Feng and Xia Houfei."
As soon as the host finished speaking, Ximen Feng and Xia Houfei were already fighting on the court.
"Damn it, I knew you were copying my paper, and you gave me exactly the same answer." Xia Houfei cursed at Ximen Feng in a Shu accent.
When Ximen Feng heard this, he jumped on his feet and yelled back: "The hammer is the one who copied the mistake. You didn't even look at it, so you got so many points."
Xia Houfei stretched out his palm and wiped the back of the knife, then laughed at Ximen Feng and said, "I'm taller than you anyway."
This is true, a higher score is also a higher score.
A fourteenth place and a fifteenth place are brothers who are indistinguishable.
"The game begins." The host shouted, and the two men charged towards each other with swords in hand.
Ximen Feng uses a light sword. His [Gust Sword Technique] emphasizes lightness, agility, and speed, and most of his sword moves are stabbing. Ximen Feng's movements are extremely fast. Just after the fight, he has already stabbed three times.
sword.
On the other side, Xia Houfei uses a thick-backed heavy sword, and his [Thirteen Styles of Absolute Sword] pursues fierceness and momentum.
It is not for nothing to say that Xia Houfei and Ximen Feng are inseparable brothers. Not only did they compete in the literary test, but they also competed in the martial arts test.
Fu Jianhan watched Ximen Feng and Xia Houfei fight back and forth, and he suddenly remembered what Huang Xiaoshi said to him that day.
"Jian Zong's moves are usually very quick.
In the world of martial arts, speed is the only thing that cannot be broken, and the spirit is to ensure that the sword in your hand can be fast and accurate.
What Qi Buddhism emphasizes is "using Qi to control the sword." Qi is the master and the sword is the slave. Although the attack is slow, it is extremely powerful.
However, if the Qi training is not successful, the swordsmanship will be useless. Even if the training is successful, it will take thirty years of practice for the Qi Zong to overpower the Sword Zong."
At this time, Huang Xiaoshi asked Fu Jianhan: "Do you think Jianzong or Airbender is better?"
"This..." Fu Jianhan was no longer confident, and he said hesitantly: "Qi Bong is good."
Huang Xiaoshi shook his head.
Fu Jianhan looked at Huang Xiaoshi and said, "Could it be that the Sword Sect is better?"
Huang Xiaoshi shook his head again.
Huang Xiaoshi said to Fu Jianhan: "Only a fool would choose one of the two. The correct choice should be to have them all."
Fu Jianhan was stunned when he heard this.
Well, those hundreds of people didn't die in vain.
"Yes, it is indeed a waste of time." Huang Xiaoshi said to Fu Jianhan: "They all say that different paths lead to the same destination. Whether it is sword or qi, both are indispensable. Saying whether the sword is more powerful or qi is more powerful is undoubtedly like a child arguing about the left hand.
The right hand is stronger.
Adults should not learn from children and choose only one, they must be strong in both."
When Fu Jianhan heard this, he understood.
Fu Jianhan was really too obsessed with sword moves before. He didn't care much about the cultivation of internal skills, and he was too focused on the "skills" in sword skills.
After all, cultivating internal strength is all about getting through every drop of water, and "qiao" can be studied for a lifetime, and can be continuously improved bit by bit, so it is easy for people to become obsessed with it.
After understanding Huang Xiaoshi's words, Fu Jianhan adjusted his mentality and practiced his internal strength and swordsmanship, both at the same time.
In the past, Fu Jianhan had a lot of free time every day to drink bad wine. Now that he knows that his internal strength cannot be neglected, Fu Jianhan feels that he has wasted too much time in the past and it is not worth it.
Today, Fu Jianhan watched Ximen Feng and Xia Houfei fighting on the field. He suddenly had a feeling that the moves of these two people looked more and more like they were originally one body, but they were divided into two parts.
Fu Jianhan suddenly trembled all over. Isn't this the fighting style of the Huashan Sect's Jianzong and Qibong!
After a fierce fight with dozens of moves, Ximen Feng was slashed on the thigh by Xia Houfei, causing blood to flow profusely.
Although Ximen Feng still wanted to fight to the death with Xia Houfei, he was directly restrained by the referee.
"In the first game, Xiahou Fei won."
In the desperate fight with Ximen Peak, Xia Houfei consumed most of his internal energy and blood, but he finally cut down Ximen Peak.
After taking a break and burning incense, the second game began, with Xia Houfei playing against Guan Wei.
Xia Houfei, who was overly exhausted, had just passed twenty or thirty moves shortly after the start of the match, and he happily gave up to Guan Wei.
Anyway, in this meeting of young heroes, Xia Houfei defeated Ximen Feng in the literary test and defeated Ximen Feng in the martial arts test. It was really a great victory and well worth it.
After Guan Wei won this game, he did not choose to rest but continued to fight. His opponent was the only pink heroine who entered the finals this time, Qin Hongshang.
As soon as Qin Hongshang appeared on the stage, he received a lot of cheers. The waves of sound were all men's howls. They were really like a red flower supported by ten thousand leaves.
Originally, the Young Heroes Association had the purpose of creating opportunities for young knights to make friends with each other. Not only did the knights choose knights, but the knights also pursued their own knights.
Qin Hongshang is a little bit red among all the green. Her popularity has been extremely high since the preliminaries. If people today didn't lack that kind of organization, maybe Qin Hongshang even has a fan group.
After a fierce battle between Guan Wei and Qin Hongshang, he narrowly won amid boos. This time he did not choose to fight consecutively, but took a break with a stick of incense.
Everyone can see that this continuous battle mechanism is extremely unfair. For those who are behind in the literary test, it will be extremely difficult for them to win.
Perhaps, this is the important life principle that the organizers of the Young Heroes Association want to tell the young knights:
"You are a fool, unless you have extraordinary abilities, you will end up in defeat.
When encountering problems, use your brain more, learn more and think more, and your hard work outside of your fists will not be in vain."
In this way, one game after another, no one could win three games until Fu Jianhan defeated the challenging Yan Yu.
Now, there are six people left on the field,
They are Huang Xiaoshi, Dongfang Weiming, Xu Zhen, Gu Shi, Tang Guannan and Lu Shaolin.
Fu Jianhan pointed toward the outside of the court with his sword. He pointed at Lu Shaolin and said, "Come on, I'm in a hurry."
Although they are all teenagers, Lu Shaolin has passed the youthful stage. His participation in this Young Heroes Meeting was not for the so-called championship.
Of course, we still have to fight. After Lu Shaolin entered the battle, he was defeated after three strikes, five strikes, and two strikes.
This is not to say that Lu Shaolin wants to let off steam, but that Fu Jianhan's martial arts is much higher than Lu Shaolin's.
After all, Master Lu has to run an escort agency, visit a brothel, worry about the sale of private salt, and the affairs of the East Factory. How can he have time to practice martial arts?
After Fu Jianhan's three moves, Lu Shaolin let go of his long sword, and he simply gave up.
After Lu Shaolin, Fu Jianhan once again challenged Tang Guannan, the young master of the Tang clan.
When Wudang Clan's Cushi was also defeated by Fu Jianhan, he finally attracted everyone's attention.
The swordsmanship of this guy in red is so strong!
"Do you want to rest?" the referee asked Fu Jianhan.
Fu Jianhan shook his head, so he continued to provoke Shaolin disciple Xu Zhen.
Fu Jianhan competed in four games in a row, which aroused everyone's cheers. Many people felt that with his strong popularity, he might not be able to win the championship.
"In the next game, Fu Jianhan will face Dongfang Weiming."
Weiming walked towards Fu Jianhan carrying a bamboo stick that he had just made yesterday.
