Returning to the college arena in the afternoon, Ruian found that there were many more spectators than in the morning. At a glance, he estimated that there were about six to seven hundred people. Obviously, the trials in the morning were very exciting, and many people came to watch in the afternoon.
Ruian stepped into the field and found that all the other players were already here.
At this time, some spectators who had not come to watch the game in the morning spotted Ruian's figure and immediately started making noises.
"Look, that's Ruian. I heard that he defeated a level 4 swordsman this morning and advanced."
"Wow, Ruian is so awesome. He is the only one who is a level 3 swordsman, and the others are all level 5 swordsmen."
"What's so great about him? He was beaten so badly in the morning that he had no power to fight back. Later, he relied on deception to defeat his opponent."
"Ryan's opponent next is a level 5 swordsman. It is absolutely impossible for him to win."
…
Ryan paid no attention to those pleasant or unpleasant sounds, and focused all his attention on the upcoming duel.
When the referee saw that everyone was present, he began to announce the draw.
There are currently 9 people drawing lots to compete for the 5 places to represent Paarl Comprehensive College. So when the lot is drawn, one lucky person will directly get the representative place without having to compete, and the remaining eight people will be divided into four groups to compete.
The winner gets the remaining 4 representative spots.
Ryan was the last one to draw lots, so he kept praying in his heart: "God, please bless me and let me draw the bye lot."
In order not to expose his strength so early, Ryan very much hopes to get the representative spot directly without competing.
Unfortunately, the God Ruian spoke of did not seem to be the God of this world, so he did not favor Ruian. The third player in the draw got the bye lot.
Finally, Ryan drew the fourth group of games, and his opponent was a level 5 swordsman named Bunnock.
Ryan had never heard of this opponent, so he didn't have any special feelings. But then the audience outside the venue screamed in surprise, and then there was endless discussion, which made Ryan's face turn pale, and he secretly sighed that he was unlucky.
"Oh my god, that Ryan drew Bunnock. He was so unlucky that he drew the most powerful level 5 swordsman in our academy."
"Yes, Bunnock has not found a rival in our college yet. He is our college's hope to challenge other colleges."
"Ryan's luck ends here. There's no way he can beat Bunnock."
"Maybe Bunnock can defeat that Ryan with just a few moves. The two levels are too far apart. One has just been promoted to level 3 swordsman, and the other is already a peak level 5 swordsman. There is really no comparison."
…
After a while, Ruian calmed down and thought to himself: "It seems that I can no longer hide my strength this time, and I might have to fight hard."
In fact, Ryan did need to work hard. The opponent he met called Bunnock was indeed the strongest player in this selection.
In the swordsmanship competition, although Parr Comprehensive Academy could not win the championship, they did not want to achieve a poor result. In order to obtain a good result, the academy had to find some masters from the academy to support the scene. This Bunnock
Originally, I did not want to participate in the swordsmanship competition, but after several invitations and promises from the academy, I reluctantly came to participate.
Next, Ryan watched the first few groups of games. The games were very exciting, much more exciting than the previous round. This can be seen from the excitement of the audience outside the field.
Soon, it was time to compete in the last group, which was the competition between level 3 swordsman Ryan and level 5 swordsman Bunock.
Ryan slowly walked onto the court, and at the same time Bunnock also walked onto the court. Ryan found that Bunnock was about the same age as his previous opponent, about twenty-five years old, and he was also a bit tall, similar to Ryan, about 1.9 meters tall.
However, Brnock's face has sharp lines, which makes him look very shrewd.
The two came to the middle of the field and stood facing each other.
Ruian waited for a few breaths, then said to Bunnock in a slightly condescending tone: "This classmate, I am not strong enough, please be merciful."
Ryan's intention is obvious, which is to make the other party underestimate him so that he can have more opportunities.
However, Ryan's wishful thinking failed. Bunock said coldly: "I won't show mercy, so you don't have to pretend. I know you are very strong."
Ruian's expression suddenly changed. He really didn't expect that it would be seen so quickly that he was hiding his strength in the previous game. In this way, Ruian's hard acting in the previous game was in vain. Afterwards, Ruian quickly adjusted himself
Emotionally, he showed a smile and said: "I didn't expect you to be able to see it, so I won't be polite."
Next, Ruian displayed his fighting spirit, and the epee in his hand emitted a dazzling light. What was very strange was that Ruian did not display his sword light.
In fact, Ryan's strategy is right. If he uses his sword light, it will consume a lot of fighting energy. Moreover, the most important thing is that his half-foot-long sword light poses almost no threat to Bunok.
.So, it is better to use the level of fighting spirit of a level 2 swordsman, which has the lethality and consumes relatively less fighting spirit.
At the same time, Bunock did not use the sword immediately, but instead used a sword light that was more than two feet long. This was only the average sword light of a fourth-level warrior. It seemed that Bunock did not want to consume too much fighting energy.
The two of them faced off with their swords raised high, as if no one wanted to take action first.
At this time, some impatient spectators outside the venue began to shout.
"Start quickly."
"Bunock, one move, one move to defeat him."
"Bunock, defeat this ungrateful boy."
…
Ryan was not affected by the noise outside the court at all. After a moment, Ryan finally shouted and attacked first.
I saw Ryan lifting his sword high and slashing hard at Bunnock.
Bunnock remained motionless and raised his long sword with his right hand, blocking the path of Ryan's epee.
There was a "bang" sound.
The epee bounced up, and Ryan took a step back to relieve the force of the epee's rebound. He then swung the epee half a circle, hitting Brnock's abdomen from bottom to top.
After resisting Ryan's slashing sword, Bunnock originally wanted to move forward and attack. Unexpectedly, as soon as he took a step forward, he encountered Ryan's sword from a tricky angle. Bunock was shocked, and by this time it was too late to dodge.
, he quickly swung his long sword and slashed at Ruian's heavy sword, trying to block it.
There was another "bang" sound.
This time, Bunnock was in a hurry and could only use 50% of his strength to block Ryan's full sword. Bunnock was immediately forced to take a step back by the sword.
Then, without waiting for Bunock to stand firm, Ryan's consecutive attack came again. This time, Ryan used a stabbing sword, seven swords in a row, thrust out continuously in just two or three breaths.
Ruian used the heavy sword to perform the stabbing, which was much less light and more powerful, making it even more difficult to resist.
Although Bunnock saw that Ryan's strength was not weak before the competition, he still underestimated Ryan. Therefore, without warning, Bunnock fell into a comprehensive disadvantage. Facing Ryan's continuous thrusts like a violent storm
, Bunnock dodged left and right, blocked up and down with his long sword, and even took four steps back to barely avoid being stabbed by Ryan's rapier.
Bunnock broke out in a sweat. He had never expected that Ryan's sword skills were so powerful.
The whole place fell silent, and all the audience were speechless. No one could have imagined that at the beginning, the person with the upper hand would be Ruian, the weakest level 3 swordsman. Everyone was shocked, and then they started to express their fear.
There was a sound of discussion that believed in the tone.
"God, did I see it wrong?"
"Are you mistaken? A level 3 swordsman can actually have the upper hand."
"Bunock, are you letting your guard down?"
…
Ryan could pretend that he didn't hear the sound outside the court, but Bunnock couldn't do it, and his face suddenly turned red.
Ryan's attack did not stop. After stabbing the sword seven times in a row, Ryan took the initiative and unleashed his improved sword skills. As a result, with the next ten moves, Ryan forced Brnock to become tired of resisting.
However, Bunnock is a level 5 swordsman after all. After resisting Ryan's attacks for ten times, he finally adapted to Ryan's attack speed and became no longer in a hurry.
Suddenly, Ryan, who was attacking, noticed that the end of Bunnock's long sword suddenly shone brightly. With a thought in his heart, Ryan quickly stopped the attack and took a few steps back.
Sure enough, just after Ryan retreated, Bunnock swung the long sword in his hand, and a foot-long blade came out and shot toward Ryan.
The speed of the sword blade is very fast, even as fast as the arrow shot from the bow.
Fortunately, Ruian was prepared. He quickly stepped aside, and the sword blade flew past Ruian's side. The blade flew more than ten meters and hit the stone fence behind Ruian. There was a "bang" sound, causing a stir.
The stone chips and the sword blade actually penetrated half an inch deep.
Ryan broke out in a cold sweat and quickly took a few steps back, assuming a full defensive posture.
After Bunnock fired a sword strike, he did not let go of Ryan. His long sword immediately lit up with a dazzling light. After a breath, Bunock swung his sword and fired another one-foot-long sword.
The blade of the sword shot towards Ryan.
At this time, Ryan was about six or seven meters away from Bunnock, so Ryan could easily avoid the blade.
When Bunok saw that the sword blade was dodged, he was not discouraged. He used the sword again, and the end of the long sword suddenly lit up again. This time, Bunok did not stand where he fired, but rushed forward to count.
Step, launch closer to Ruian.
Ruian was startled immediately and hurriedly retreated to avoid the sword attack.
Next, Brnock began to fire the blade continuously, getting closer to Ryan.
Ruian kept retreating. Of course, he did not retreat in a straight line, but in a large circle. While retreating, Ruian continued to avoid the attacks of the sword.
Fortunately, Ruian had previously practiced a set of low-level body skills, which could increase his dodge speed the moment the sword was launched, otherwise he would definitely be hit by the fast sword.
At this moment, Ruian was caught in a bitter fight.
