The finals are no longer played at the same time. Instead, after the previous group wins or loses, it is the next group's turn.
Who each person's opponent is is determined by drawing lots. Two people with the same numbers compete in order from small to large.
When drawing lots, Tong Yan belatedly thought of a problem. She and Huo Qizhi had both entered the finals, so a fight might be inevitable...
As expected, those who can enter the finals are all experts. She was almost knocked off the stage in the first round. In the end, she relied on having more spiritual power than others to narrowly win.
In the second round, lots were drawn again, and her opponent was Jiang Shixing.
This person is a swordsman. He has a huge long sword that is a little taller than Tong Yan. It is very intimidating at first sight.
The sword is brave, mighty, strong and powerful, and is an offensive weapon. The sword is agile and changeable, combining hardness and softness, and is capable of both offense and defense.
Which one is stronger and which one is weaker is hard to tell just by looking at it, but the body shapes of the two masters seem a little unfair.
Being able to wield such a large knife, Jiang Shixing's body size is naturally not small. A burly figure is the basic requirement. He is still a little far from a tiger's back, but his limbs are strong and powerful. It is definitely not an exaggeration to punch a baby.
Compared with him, the petite Tong Yan on the court is just a little kid, right?
Not to mention friends like Shen Zhuangheng and He Zhan, even the onlookers' disciples were worried about her, while Shang Xun on the stage frowned imperceptibly.
Jiang Shixing also frowned, not because Tong Yan looked too young and couldn't bear to do anything, but because he didn't understand why Shang Xun accepted her as his disciple.
He asked straightforwardly: "Why can you become his disciple?"
Tong Yan was startled by his question. Was he mocking her or simply asking a question?
"You should ask my master this question," she said.
If he could have the opportunity to ask Shang Xun in person, why would he ask her here.
Jiang Shixing's eyes were filled with impatience, "You tell me the reason, and I will admit defeat in this game."
His words were shocking, and the audience was in an uproar.
"You can still admit defeat in the final?!"
"We have to admit defeat even if we reach the finals. We don't understand the world of geniuses."
The elders on the high platform also looked towards the competition platform.
Jiang Shixing heard the discussion among the disciples below and said calmly: "There is nothing in the rules of the final that says you cannot admit defeat."
The entire audience was stunned. There was indeed nothing in the rules that said you couldn't admit defeat.
Because normal people would not admit defeat at this time!
Tong Yan also looked at him in surprise. This man was really willful. How determined was he to become Shang Xun's disciple?
Without asking, "Why do you have to know."
Jiang Shixing: "I want to know where I lost to you."
He thought he had good qualifications, was diligent and motivated, and devoted himself to cultivation, but Shang Xun rejected him and accepted Tong Yan.
"A question about spiritual roots." Tong Yan answered him very honestly, "My spiritual roots are the same as those of my master."
During the apprenticeship ceremony, everyone will not be told directly that so-and-so has a chaotic spiritual root and was chosen by Shang Xun to be accepted as a disciple.
Jiang Shixing frowned and thought deeply. The same spiritual roots were indeed a natural advantage, but this reason made him feel even more depressed.
He suddenly launched an attack without warning, and his blade was so powerful that it had the potential to chop the sun and the moon.
"I'm not saying that you have to admit defeat, but it's too much to suddenly start a fight without giving a hint after we've been chatting well."
Tong Yan hurriedly took a few steps back, swung away the sword and raised her sword to block the attack. The huge impact shocked her wrists.
Jiang Shixing didn't talk as much nonsense as Tong Yan. When he heard her complaining about him, he attacked her as usual without changing his expression.
At this moment, Tong Yan experienced firsthand what it means to work miracles with great force. The blade was already heavy, and the force generated during the swing was beyond what an ordinary small body could withstand. She dodged left and right, but was chased by the long sword all the way.
Cut at the heel.
She was so frustrated that she couldn't bear it anymore. She found the right moment and jumped up, stabbing Jiang Shixing in front of her like a sharp sword.
The sword is good at offense, but its defense is poor. Giving up defense to attack, and responding flexibly to avoid the sharp edge are the basic rules for fighting swordsmen.
Sword skills are more flexible than sword skills. As long as you get rid of his consistent suppression, it is not difficult to counterattack.
When she attacked, Jiang Shixing had to draw his sword to defend, but when the sword lightly touched her, she immediately changed her moves and swung her sword across.
Taking advantage of his short stature, he nimbly harassed Jiang Shixing from all sides, turning his disadvantage into an advantage.
The upper part stabbed his eyes, and the lower part chopped off his feet. Because the speed was too fast, she hit him again and ran away. Often, Jiang Shixing would just slash the person with his knife, and the person would have already changed his position.
This annoyed him so much that when Tong Yan attacked his legs again, he refused to dodge and swung his long knife, cutting through the wind and waves.
Her back was filled with murderous intent, and she wanted to roll to the ground to avoid it, but found that the front was the edge of the stage, and there was no place to dodge. At this moment of thinking, the blade reached her.
This scene caused a flash of worry and anger in Shang Xun's eyes. After seeing Tong Yan's reaction, he took a sip of the spiritual tea as if nothing had happened.
Suppressed and shocked.
Between the lightning and flint, I saw seven halos lighting up behind Tong Yan, combining with the power of the Seven Stars of the Big Dipper, intercepting the blade for a moment, the sharp energy weakened, the blade then slashed down on the spirit sword, and then collided and sent out a strong wave of energy.
The two were in a stalemate for a while, Jiang Shixing's eyes sharpened, and his hand used force again to press down the blade.
At this moment, Tong Yan felt as if he was being crushed by a mountain. His chest was suffocating and he could not move. The force exerted on the sword increased, and the space for movement was compressed little by little.
She realized that she had to come up with a countermeasure as soon as possible, otherwise the game would be lost!
Holding back the pressure from above and the pain in her chest, she suddenly stopped applying force to the spirit sword and allowed the blade to cut it down.
There was no obstacle to the sword, and it cut down unstoppably, using the rest of its momentum to cut off a corner of the competition platform.
The sword is empty!
At the moment when Jiang Shixing was slightly startled, he felt a pain in his calf, and his body leaned forward uncontrollably. Before he could react, he felt severe pain in his chest. As the scene in front of him faded, he fell from the edge of the cut stage.
.
It turned out that Tong Yan gave up his defense and in an extremely risky way, kicked his calf, causing him to lose balance and lean forward, and then kicked him out.
If it weren't for her petite body, most of her body was out of the attack range of the long knife when she jumped up, and her head would have fallen off at this moment.
The entire counterattack was completed in a very short period of time, so fast that most disciples could not react. Only when they heard the sound of the tip of the knife hitting the ground did they realize that the victory was decided.
"Uncle Master is mighty!" Yang Qi shouted excitedly after coming back to his senses.
The scene was silent for a moment, and then more enthusiastic shouts broke out.
"Uncle Master is mighty!"
"Uncle Master Niuhide!"
“Uncle Master’s magical skills are unparalleled!”
Others:???
No matter what, anyway, the master uncle defeated Jiang Shixing, who is known as the best swordsman in the sect, so he is awesome.
"Uncle Master's magical skills are unparalleled!!"
What is strength? As long as you have strength and beat them to their hearts content, you will be the object of their admiration.
The shouting didn't stop until Tong Yan got off the competition platform. She returned to her seat to rest and took a few pills to heal her injuries.
This battle with Jiang Shixing was more tiring than any previous one. She had been off the stage for a long time, and her hands were still numb from the force of his shock.
Moreover, the energy and blood in her body were surging after being beaten. If she didn't recover properly, she would be in trouble in the fight for the top three spots.
