Another day passed, and the first round of the competition ended. The contestants who advanced to the second round, except for several level 4 swordsmen and Ruian, a level 3 swordsman, were all players above level 5 swordsmen.
Ryan's two companions who competed behind him also won the competition and advanced to the second round.
However, except for the students of Parr Comprehensive Academy, there was no attention that Ryan was worried about. Of course, this was related to the fact that the opponents he defeated were only level 4 swordsmen.
So when it came to the second round of drawing, although Ryan was looked at twice by others, few people took him seriously.
In the second round of drawing lots, Ryan had good luck and got a level 5 swordsman from the Moblen Swordsman Academy.
In this round, Ryan finally had to face off against a level 5 swordsman. Fortunately, this level 5 swordsman was not a student from the top few academies, but from the Moblen Swordsman Academy, which was about the same strength as Parr Comprehensive Academy.
After the second round draw, instead of being allowed to rest for a day before playing as before, the game started immediately. This did not have much impact on Ryan, because he had been ready for a tough battle since the start of the game.
Then, Ryan played in the match. Just as Ryan hoped, his opponent didn't know Ryan's background, so he looked down upon Ryan very much. He even didn't even pull out his long sword after the referee said it was time to start.
Without saying a word, Ruian stepped forward to attack.
Caught off guard, the opponent hurriedly pulled out his long sword. Before he could use the signature blade of a level 5 swordsman, Ryan's heavy sword struck his right hand holding the sword. The result was obvious.
After the game, the opponent kept complaining, but the referee said: "You are a level 5 swordsman, and you were defeated by a level 3 swordsman head-on. How dare you complain that it is unfair?" The opponent had to hide his face and retreat.
Ryan won the second round.
Ryan was very satisfied, especially with this process, because he defeated his opponent without revealing his full strength and could remain surprised in the next game.
At the end of the second round, among the promoted players, except for a powerful level 4 swordsman and Ruian, all the others were level 5 swordsmen.
On this day, Ryan still did not see Yasselin still sitting in the corner in the arena, nor did he wait for Yasselin at the door of the girls' dormitory.
Ruian returned home depressed.
Then another day passed, and it was the third round of the competition. In this round, only Ryan and a level 5 swordsman were left at Parr Comprehensive Academy. In yesterday's competition, another level 5 swordsman also unfortunately lost.
In the third round of the draw, Ryan's character actually exploded and he got the only bye draw. This surprised Ryan, who had originally planned to fight a tough fight.
Ryan did not leave, but observed every opponent on the stage in the rest area. It was not that he did not want to take advantage of the opportunity to find Yasselin when he did not have to compete, but that he had to understand his opponents and pay attention to them, so that he could have a chance to win.
Defeat them in future games.
After the first two rounds of competition, at the beginning of the third round, the original two competition stages in the arena were transformed into a competition stage about fifty meters long, wide and two meters high in the middle.
The auditorium was full of people, and there were even many people standing in the corridors. Because the players in the stadium were already very powerful, each game was very exciting, with swords clashing and blades flying, attracting many students.
Watch.
It took a whole day for the third round of competition to end. There were only thirty-one contestants left. Except for Ryan, all the other contestants were level 5 swordsmen or above. The remaining contestants from Parr Comprehensive Academy
A level 5 swordsman was defeated in the third round of the competition. After a hard battle, he was finally defeated. In this case, Ryan was the only one left in Parr Comprehensive Academy.
On this day, it was getting late after the game, and Ryan didn't look for Yasselin again.
The next day comes the fourth round of competition. After this round, the top 16 players will be decided.
Early in the morning, Ryan followed the two teachers to the arena of Skayas City Comprehensive College. The stadium was full of spectators, but when Ryan looked over, it seemed that there were no students from Pal Comprehensive College coming to watch. Look.
Come, the results of Paarl Comprehensive College are not good, causing the students to lose their
Interest in watching. Ryan was completely indifferent to the audience's support. In fact, before he came to compete, Ryan asked Helis not to come to watch. His reason was simple: he didn't want Helis to see him lose.
The scene of defeat. Sure enough, Harris has not come to watch since the game started.
When Ruian came to the arena this time, he attracted the attention of all the players. Almost all the players stared at Ruian several times. Indeed, as a level 3 swordsman, he was able to enter the fourth round of the competition.
, this is such an incredible thing!
However, no one who had watched Ruian's game really took Ruian seriously. In the first round, Ruian only defeated a level 4 swordsman, and in the second round, he used a level 5 swordsman to underestimate the enemy and suddenly attacked.
They won the next round, and they were lucky enough to get a bye in the third round. So these players just thought that as long as they were careful, they would not be defeated by a level 3 swordsman.
As for the spectators outside the stadium, those who had never seen Ryan play before were very surprised. They pointed and talked a lot. Those who had seen Ryan play before mostly laughed with disdain.
According to the previous practice, lots were drawn before the game, and there was still a bye draw in this round. But this time Ryan's luck seemed to have run out. Not only did he not draw the bye draw, but he also got Skaya.
A level 5 swordsman from Sicheng Comprehensive Academy.
Ruian was not surprised by such a result. He was already prepared for a tough battle.
The audience didn't react much, but everyone felt that this level 5 swordsman was very lucky to have drawn a level 3 swordsman. He would easily defeat Ryan, and Ryan's game would end here.
Ryan's competition time came soon, and it was in the third group.
When Ryan and his opponent, the level 5 swordsman, walked onto the stage, Ryan suddenly felt the pressure doubled. Because his opponent, the level 5 swordsman, was a player from Skayas City Comprehensive Academy, that is, a player from the host country. More than two-thirds of the audience were
The audience were students from the host country, so roaring cheers filled the entire arena.
"Yaselin, this level 3 swordsman is very lucky! He has not been defeated yet." In the corner of the last row, a young girl said softly.
"Dolly, look carefully, this level 3 swordsman is not that simple." Yasselin replied without looking back, still staring at the competition stage.
"Oh, really? Do you know this level 3 swordsman?"
"Well... I guess... he is a friend of mine." Yasselin hesitated for a moment and finally answered.
"Then do you think he can defeat this level 5 swordsman?"
"Yes, he must be able." Yasselin said decisively.
Facing his opponent's level 5 swordsman, Ruian performed a swordsman's salute and said, "Please show mercy."
The opponent was startled, but then he smiled and replied: "Don't worry, I won't hurt you." After a pause, he continued: "Why don't you just admit defeat? The difference in strength is too big, you are no match for me.
.”
Obviously, the opponent is also a good-hearted person.
Ruian also smiled and replied: "I still want to give it a try to see if the difference in strength is really that big? Please be merciful."
Ruian keeps showing weakness, with the clear purpose of making his opponents look down on him. Moreover, it seems that although his opponents are not arrogant, they really don't take Ruian seriously.
Ruian raised his heavy sword and used his fighting spirit to emit a sword light that was half a foot long. Then he slashed his opponent in the face with an extremely ordinary sword slash. At the same time, Ruian also shouted apologetically: "Be careful, you may offend me."
Already."
The opponent laughed and didn't take it seriously. He let out a two-foot-long sword light from the long sword in his hand, and then casually raised the long sword to block it.
With a "clang" sound, Ruian's epee rebounded, but Ruian took advantage of the situation and made another ordinary diagonal slash, but it was still blocked.
Next, Ruian used a dozen ordinary moves to attack his opponent, but his opponent kept his feet on the ground and used his long sword to parry Ruian's attacks.
Obviously, the opponent did not want to defeat Ruian at once, but let Ruian freely display his strength. He probably wanted to use his absolute strength to conquer Ruian. But unfortunately, he met Ruian who had evil intentions and was determined to win at all costs.
I saw that Rui'an's seemingly ordinary flat slash suddenly turned into an unexpected stab with a tricky angle.
Immediately, the opponent was taken aback and hurriedly retreated to avoid it, but was still stabbed into the side of the abdomen by Ruian's heavy sword. The sword light immediately penetrated the armor and penetrated the body, causing blood to flow out.
"You're cheating!" The opponent became angry and was immediately in a state of chaos. He unleashed all his fighting energy, and a three-foot-long sword glow emerged from his sword as he slashed at Ruian.
But it was of no use. Ruian, who was well prepared, immediately used his body and sword skills to dodge and counterattack.
After the two sides exchanged more than ten moves, the opponent lost too much blood and was furious. He was still unable to match Ruian's sword skills. He was stabbed in many places on the body by Ruian. Finally, he was forced off the stage by Ruian's heavy sword.
Ryan won and he advanced to the top 16.
However, this victory has completely ruined Ryan's reputation. This can be seen from the "despicable" shouts from the audience.
At the same time, the opponent who was forced to step down was very unconvinced and insisted on going on stage to teach Ryan a lesson. Fortunately, he was stopped by the referee, and he finally gave up after some persuasion.
In the end, Ryan had to leave the stage immediately amid the curses from the audience.
In fact, in Ruian's heart, this is a last resort. If he displays all his strength now, it will be even more difficult to win in the subsequent games. Therefore, he can only hide his strength as much as possible and strive to expose it as late as possible.
