Chapter 504 [Extremely awesome]
The news that Duke Tulip "passed the test" in the first round of the World's No. 1 Martial Arts Competition quickly became a hot topic among people in the entire imperial capital. But this time, everyone regarded this competition as a
made a huge joke.
Everyone who was lucky enough to watch that game told the anecdotes to their acquaintances afterward. While people were laughing, the atmosphere of fanatical admiration for the Tulip Duke suddenly dropped several times.
Even the people who fanatically worshiped the tulip myth before can no longer muster the energy to defend their idol. Just because on the competition field that day, thousands of pairs of eyes saw how Du Wei "won"
"of.
Now, in the streets and alleys of the imperial capital, most people have already concluded that although Du Wei is a magic genius, he is probably not very good at martial arts.
The only reason he won was because he relied on his prominent position to make his opponent abstain.
In the aristocratic circle, Du Wei once again became the object of ridicule (of course, because of Du Wei's identity, such ridicule could only be discussed behind the scenes, where Du Wei could not see or hear, but in front of others)
When meeting Du Wei, people still have to maintain full respect for the Duke.)
But after that game, when Du Wei saw Prince Chen, the regent suppressed his laughter and asked Du Wei directly: "Honestly, how much did you pay those opponents to make them lose on purpose?
For you?"
Du Wei looked sad and angry: "Your Highness, do you also think that I spent money to bribe my opponent?"
"Isn't it?" Prince Chen smiled.
Du Wei sighed. He knew that at times like this, no one would believe what he said, so he simply remained silent.
The casino was naturally making a lot of money. Because after the "Dragon Ball Trio" suddenly appeared and killed several popular players, the betting amount naturally went to Du Wei's pocket.
Of course, Du Wei himself has also become a betting target. Fortunately, Du Wei was everyone's favorite before. No matter whether they rated Du Wei's martial arts skills low or high, people thought that the Tulip Duke would never be able to win the first round.
You can't even pass the preliminaries.
Therefore, since Du Wei is the favorite, his odds are not high. Although the gambler who won by selling Du Wei won the bet, his gain was not big.
In general, Du Wei's gambling group made a lot of money in the first two days of preliminaries.
The preliminaries on the third day once again brought people a huge "surprise"! And this surprise also included Du Wei!
The third day of the preliminaries for the World's Best Martial Arts Tournament.
The popular contestants on this day include the two knight captains of the Holy Knights and more than a dozen Holy Knights! And these people are undoubtedly the favorites.
After watching two consecutive days of varying levels of competition, although it was more than lively, it was really not exciting. However, people are still looking forward to the third day of the competition. After all, the Holy Knight's martial arts does not contain water.
.
On this day, because Du Wei had successfully passed the test, he could sit in the box on the third floor and watch the game.
On this morning, the most popular person to appear was the Grand Knight Commander of the Holy Knights, the eighth-level knight Randall.
This guy who was humiliated by Du Wei at the Qingfeng Festival obviously entered the competition out of anger!
In his group, the opponents in his group were particularly strong. The temple even criticized this slightly, thinking that Du Wei, the mastermind behind the scenes, was manipulating the lottery process! Because the opponents in Randall's group were one level higher than other groups.
Level! Among the seven opponents Randall will face, there are four level 4 opponents, two level 5 opponents, and even a level 7 opponent!
Especially the seventh-level opponent, he is a famous master from the southeastern region of the empire. He is quite famous in the two southeastern provinces of the empire. He is a burly man. He is famous for his fierce swordsmanship and is definitely not the kind of swordsman who can be bought with money.
It can be compared to guys who are just pretending to be at a high level.
After the gong of the competition sounded, Randall drew his long sword!
Because today was an arena competition, the Grand Knight Commander did not wear the heavy knight's armor, but a tight-fitting warrior robe lined with a light leather armor.
After the game started, he focused all his attention on the seventh-level warrior in this group. Randall also knew very well who his biggest opponent was.
That seventh-level warrior, his name is Ma Long. As his name suggests, he has a muscular body and a figure like a huge wooden stake. His naked upper body does not wear any inner clothes. Instead, he directly puts on a leather armor and muscles.
The leather armor was stretched to the point of almost bursting. His neck was as thick as an ordinary person's thigh, and the muscles on his arms were amazing, full of strength! And there was a terrifying claw mark on his face, which was said to be
When he was young, a man hunted a den of black bears in the woods and left behind them!
That time he killed four black bears with his bare hands, and the scratch on his face was caused by one of them, but in the end he used his huge palms to strangle the last prey to death with his own hands!
He also wore a pendant around his neck, which was three huge black bear tusks!
Although Randall is also very strong, he looks much more delicate in front of this giant-like guy.
With the sound of the gong, Malone, who was standing in the distance, grinned at Randall and growled like a wild beast: "Holy Knight, don't worry, let's have a fair game!"
As he spoke, his huge body suddenly jumped up on the spot, as agile as a rabbit, and quickly jumped to the side of a player on the left, and grabbed the guy's shoulder with his huge palm!
His movements were as fast as lightning. The opponent also had level 5 strength, but he didn't react at all. He had only half-pulled out the sword when he was already lifted up by Ma Long and thrown directly under the ring!
The whole audience burst into cheers.
Randall breathed a sigh of relief. He knew very well that although he was the Grand Knight Commander of the Holy Knights, this was the period when the Holy Knights were at their weakest. Otherwise, with his eighth-level strength, how could he sit in this position?
In this position!
On the other hand, I must not lose today. Otherwise, if word gets out that the leader of the Holy Knights did not even pass the first round of the competition, this will be a huge blow to the prestige of the Holy Knights!
And the opponent in this group... Randall understood that if Malone secretly united with several other players to deal with him first, it would be difficult for him to protect himself! After all, although the strength gap between level seven and level eight is
Yes. But it's not too big! If you add the help of six other people, it will be difficult for you to win!
But now it seems that this Ma Long is very upright and has no such thoughts, but chooses to fight with him head-on.
"What a good man!" Randall felt relieved. He laughed a few times, jumped in front of an opponent next to him, raised his wrist and struck down with a sword. The opponent blocked it with his sword, but Randall's martial arts
After all, he was several levels stronger than him. With a flick of his wrist, the hilt of the sword was thrust back into the man's chest. The man grunted twice and stepped back. Randall stepped up and kicked him in the thigh.
, kicked him out of the ring.
In a moment, after a few ping-pong-pong bangs on the ring, only two of the eight contestants were left. Randall and Malone worked in a tacit understanding to knock the other miscellaneous contestants off the ring. The two began to stare seriously.
The other party.
Randall's long sword has already glowed with fighting spirit. He just fought with the last opponent's fighting spirit, directly broke the opponent's fighting spirit, and cut off the opponent's long sword. At this moment, Randall's blood was boiling, and his body
He was also active and stared at his opponent.
This guy is huge and must have an advantage in strength. But just now, it seems that his movements are very agile. This is rare among warriors of his size.
It seems that... the only way to win is to fight hard with him!
In terms of fighting spirit, Randall is very confident. He has practiced his holy fighting spirit very hard, and he is outstanding among the current Holy Knights.
With two loud roars, the two warriors held long swords and were already fighting together! Randall's fighting spirit was dazzling with a ball of holy silver light, which immediately aroused bursts of cheers from the stands!
And that Ma Long has obviously not broken through to the level of a high-level warrior. His fighting spirit is gray, which is the sign of an intermediate warrior! But after the two people's swords collided hard several times, this guy named Ma Long turned out to be huge.
He didn't even take a step back!
The clanging sound of long swords, mixed with the sparks of metal collision, made the smile on Ma Long's face become more and more excited! His muscles seemed to have swelled a little more!
On the contrary, it was the Holy Knight Randall who took two steps back!
Randall's heart sank as he felt the opponent's majestic power. Although his fighting spirit was a level lower than his own, his opponent's physical strength was so strong that he was indeed a monster that could crush several black bears to death with his bare hands!
But... fighting spirit is not just about strength!
Randall sneered and scolded, and slashed vertically with his long sword several times. In the roar, two silver blades of light shot past! Ma Long had a ferocious look on his face, and amid the roar, the giant sword in his hand
The long sword slashed twice horizontally and vertically, smashing the light blade directed at him into pieces.
But at the same time, Randall had already leaned over like a ghost. After all, Malone's long sword was too big, and it was slightly less flexible than the opponent's when flipping. And Randall's sword was as sharp as a poisonous snake, with a silvery edge.
With his holy fighting spirit, after several clashes of weapons, he could always find the weakness of Ma Long's strength! He tapped the hilt of his long sword a few times in succession!
These few blows were the "breaking point" of Ma Long's power operation, which made Ma Long very awkward. After being tapped on the sword a few times by the opponent, he immediately felt that even his wrist was a little numb. After howling wildly,
, he simply gave up, held the sword with both hands, and struck Randall's head with an astonishing vertical chop! He even gave the opponent his chest!
Randall was a little annoyed. After all, this was a competition. Although he could take the opportunity to stab the opponent in the chest, he would inevitably be hit on the shoulder... He didn't want to be seriously injured in the preliminaries.
In desperation, he took a breath and could only take two steps back, and dangled his sword for a moment...
With a clang, the gray fighting spirit and the silver fighting spirit collided again, causing both of them to sway.
Finally, the gap in fighting spirit was revealed, and a trace of blood appeared from the corner of the giant-like Ma Long's mouth. He had obviously suffered some internal injuries. However, this guy was indeed fierce and fierce. The fighting spirit on his face became more and more fanatical, and he roared again and again.
Suddenly, the giant sword was in his hand, and an attack like a violent storm danced out!
Each of his swords seemed to carry the same power as the howling wind and tsunami! Such a powerful feeling made Randall have no choice but to defend with all his strength.
To be continued...
