As the number of participants in the Glory Competition has decreased, the arena has become more flexible in arranging events, and more and more time has been given to players to rest and recuperate.
After the initial "big battle" style screening, the current duels are more inclined to build good momentum in each duel and give the audience enough time to place their bets. After all, every duel with the remaining few hundred people is worth watching.
Chai Anping's opponent for the next game has not been announced yet, but he is not panicking at all now...
In the three rounds of competitive duels, several extremely shining players have emerged, including him. Even among the Thirty Heroes, there are extremely conspicuous stratifications.
The original top five heroes, the Star Swordsman, Giles, and a dozen others including Chai Anping, who received the new title of "Inspector of One Sword", are already the brightest new stars at this time, with a bright future.
Some of the more unlucky Thirty Heroes encountered powerful enemies and were defeated miserably.
At the same time, the duel divisions across the country have basically entered the second half of the competition. In more than half a month, they will be able to go to the capital for the final duel of the national nature of the Glory Competition.
At that time, it will also be the most lively time in the whole country.
Chai Anping, who had rested for another day, was led by Sir William to a private training gym.
"Let old Reese give you some guidance today."
Chai Anping recalled the old man holding his sword between his two fingers. He was really not a normal person...
"He used to be an enemy of thousands of people on the battlefield. When he was young, he once fought with a Noxian general for a day and a night. He destroyed half of the mountain and beat the general to a pulp." Sir William laughed.
Let's introduce it to him.
"hiss--"
That’s really a bit awesome!
He quietly glanced at Sir William. The energy of this little old man was really incredible. Yesterday, a deputy director student came out, and now he has found himself an enemy on the battlefield...
"Old Rhys!"
Under the leadership of the attendant, the two entered the training ground paved with unknown blue stones.
"Well, you are really anxious!" A burly figure walked out of the lounge, but soon Chai Anping's pupils shrank suddenly——
Behind Old Reese was a woman with scarlet hair and a graceful figure!
Sword Queen!
Damn it...!
She wears white slim-fitting soft armor on the upper body, black leather pants with gold patterns on the lower body, and an exquisite blue steel rapier tied around her waist. Her dress is similar to the one in the game.
"We meet again, young man." Old Reese greeted Chai Anping: "Let me introduce you, this is Fiona Laurent, the head of Laurent's family."
"I have met Ms. Fiona." Chai Anping bowed slightly: "I already knew Ms. Fiona."
"Oh? Is there such a fate?" Old Reese touched the board.
"At the scene of my brother's death." Fiona's plain tone sounded like ice.
"Well……"
"I also know the news that you killed the murderer. If I can repay this kindness by teaching you sword skills, it will be an honor for my brother and me." She looked at Chai An with a stern face, but she softened slightly.
"That's good, Your Excellency Fiona was invited by me to guide you in your techniques." Old Reese said: "I have seen your second round of duel, and there is not much I can teach you, but it is not easy to be perfunctory.
Otherwise, William will keep talking about it for half a year."
Sword Girl is here to teach me how to use the sword?!
Chai Anping was a little stunned, and then he felt ecstatic in his heart - this was one of the top fighters in the entire continent!
What if... what if I could trigger the omen of theft in her?!
"That's great!" Sir William clapped his hands: "In that case, let's get started."
"You are really lucky, kid!" Old Reese curled his lips: "You first learn the techniques from Fiona, and then I will teach you some ways to train your body and exert your strength."
"Although you are injured, my guidance will not be diminished in any way." Sword Lady slowly pulled out the blue steel thin sword made by a famous artist: "Draw the sword."
Old Rhys quickly led Sir William back to the outside. He gloated in a low voice: "Hey, this young man has suffered a lot."
"The more you endure hardship, the more you can become talented." Sir William did not panic at all when he heard this. With him here, could Chai Anping be stabbed to death with a sword?
Chai Anping took a deep breath, and the blood in his body began to surge.
He slowly drew out the Moonlight Sword and faced Fiona with his body slightly tilted and the blade of the sword facing downwards.
"Heh... that's an interesting sword-holding posture."
The Sword Girl smiled slightly. She was completely different. Her slender sword pointed directly in the direction of Chai Anping, fully demonstrating her offensive intentions.
"here we go!"
Chai Anping's eyes were dazzled as a sharp sword had already scratched his cheek.
A strong wind followed and almost knocked him over.
Fiona sheathed her sword indifferently and returned to her original position: "Do you know your problem?"
Chai Anping frowned and thought for a while, and then said: "Although my sword-holding style has many changes, it is too overwhelming when facing a strong enemy like you. Your sword came in front of me, but I didn't have time to lift it."
Raise your wrists."
"Can."
Seeing Chai Anping change his sword posture, holding the sword with both hands more calmly, and raising the front finger of the blade, she nodded with satisfaction.
"The second sword!"
The Sword Girl took a step forward, and Chai Anping was enveloped in a violent storm of sword power.
Chai Anping was horrified to find that his sword skills had been suppressed again and had no room to display. The rapier in his field of vision turned into a white line. He widened his eyes and tried his best to see Fiona's moves clearly, and then he stretched out the moonlight sword with all his strength.
On the path of the white line.
"clang!"
The blue steel rapier "bounced" on the Moonlight Sword. Chai Anping immediately let out a muffled groan, and flew out without losing any strength.
While feeling severe pain from the tiger's mouth, Chai Anping looked at the sword that struck again in the air, and his blood suddenly surged.
"relief!"
He roared angrily. He couldn't see the black line belonging to Fiona in his eyes, but he still slashed out with his intuition!
The moonlight sword drew a perfect arc in the air. In Old Reese's surprised eyes, the blade of the moonlight sword struck hard on the body of the rapier.
Chai Anping ignored the gaping wound on his waist and abdomen, pulled back the blade, and immediately slashed out again.
"pity."
Fiona's sigh of appreciation rang in her ears.
The blue steel thin sword passed through the Moonlight Sword like light and shadow, and the sword blade hit Chai Anping directly on the chest, tearing his clothes and leaving a whip mark.
Chai Anping fell heavily to the ground.
"Ding——" There was a crisp sound in his head, and his painful expression instantly froze.
"Think more about these two swords!" Fiona proudly put away her rapier and raised her eyebrows at Old Reese: "Continue making tea?"
