Ryan entered the semi-finals as a level 3 swordsman. This is unique in the history of the sword competition, and it is also the best result achieved by Paarl Comprehensive Academy in the past ten years.
Ruian once again caused a sensation, this time the sensation reached an unprecedented level. It can be said that this sword competition has almost become Ruian's personal stage. Because many people know that Ruian has entered the semi-finals, but they don't know the reasons for entering the semi-finals.
Three other players.
Ryan is also feeling a little elated. Especially after winning so many games, Ryan's self-confidence has skyrocketed, with a tendency to gradually turn into complacency.
Of course, Ryan doesn't think he is invincible, but he is very confident in the next two games and does not think his opponents are so powerful.
In Ryan's mind, he had already begun to imagine that he would finally win the championship and then be with Yasselin.
This is a very bad mentality, but it is human nature. After many victories, Ruian couldn't help himself thinking.
Fortunately, Ruian just thought about it and did not show any arrogance in his behavior. At most, he only showed a smile unconsciously when he thought about the happy things.
…………
After resting for a day, Rui'an, who had previously been depleted of fighting energy, recovered all his fighting energy, and Ruian seemed to feel a slight increase in fighting energy. Of course, this increase was extremely weak, and he could only feel it vaguely.
Ryan didn't take it to heart because all his thoughts were on the next semi-finals.
Of the other three contestants who entered the semi-finals, two did not see anything special. They seemed to be just a little better than the other level 5 swordsmen. Of course, it cannot be ruled out that they hide their strength.
The remaining one is the one that Ryan is most afraid of, and that is Dino, a level 5 swordsman from the second-ranked Purse Public Swordsman Academy. He is also the player that Ryan has observed before and can use the continuous sword.
In previous competitions, Dino used the method of using continuous sword attacks to defeat all opponents and enter the semi-finals. It can be said that in this sword competition, if Ryan is the biggest dark horse, then Dino is the biggest
's popular.
In the minds of many people, if nothing unexpected happens, Dino should win the championship in this sword fighting competition.
Previously, the candidate that Ruian was most afraid of was the level 6 swordsman Dotelia, but in the competition with him, he found that the level 6 swordsman was not very powerful except for his strong fighting spirit. In the end, Ruian defeated him. So.
Now, although Ruian is very afraid of Dino, who can fire swords continuously, he has another thought in his mind, which is to compare to see if the opponent is really powerful.
The semi-finals are going on as scheduled.
The audience outside the stadium was as full as ever, but the difference from before is that today many spectators came to see Ryan. In various rumors outside, the description of Ryan was very exaggerated, and it even evolved into Ryan having a level 3
The swordsman was so powerful that he could defeat a level 6 swordsman in just a few moves without any effort. So in addition to the spectators who had been watching the game, there were also many curious spectators who came to see how powerful Ruian was.
.
When Ryan stepped into the arena, the audience immediately cheered.
This made Ryan feel a little elated.
Ryan is not feeling carried away by the cheers of the audience. He has experienced many games and experienced many cheers and boos, but he still does not lose himself in the cheers of the audience. The reason why Ryan is very happy is that he thought that Yasselin should come.
Watching the game, Yasselin will definitely feel better about herself when she sees so many spectators cheering for her.
After waiting for a while, the host of the organizer announced the start of the competition and then introduced the top four players.
This kind of procedure has been carried out many times before. Ryan didn't feel anything special. When he introduced himself, he found that the host said a lot of exaggerated words, which made Ryan a little excited. Then, the audience cheered
It rang out at the right time, and much to Ryan's delight, there were more cheers from Ryan than from Dino, the favorite to win.
Next comes the drawing of lots.
At this moment, Ryan kept praying in his heart that he would not meet Dino, the favorite to win the championship.
But in the end, as if to go against Ryan, Ryan actually drew Dino.
Regarding this result, Ryan could only comfort himself with the excuse that he would have to face it sooner or later. On the contrary, the audience was very happy with this result because they could see the showdown between the darkest horse and the biggest favorite.
Ryan's game was in the second game. As usual, he was supposed to watch the game in the players' rest area. However, after the last victory, the teachers from Parr Comprehensive College attached great importance to the next game, so they stayed around.
Be by Ruian's side, constantly cheering and giving advice to Ruian.
This made Ryan dumbfounded. Fortunately, Harris Pulis knew Ryan's mood and stayed with Ryan.
The first game went on for a long time, and both sides were evenly matched. In the end, it was just a question of whose fighting spirit could last longer. This made Ryan a little impatient. He was originally very calm, but after experiencing so many things, he became more relaxed.
Become impatient.
This is a bad psychological change, but Ryan is not aware of this problem now.
Finally, the winner of the first game was decided, and it was the turn of Ryan and Dino.
When he got to the competition stage, Ruian forced himself to put aside all the messy thoughts that had appeared in his mind in the past two days and concentrate on the competition and his opponent.
His opponent, Dino, is not tall, half a head shorter than Ryan, but his figure is slender, making him look very energetic. Dino doesn't look old, he seems to be just a little older than Ryan. He can reach this level at such a young age.
At the level of a level 5 swordsman, it can be seen that his talent is very good.
While Ryan was observing Dino, Dino was also observing Ryan, but Ryan saw that Dino's eyes were strange and seemed to have a very gloomy feeling, and there was a faint smile of disdain on the corner of Dino's mouth, which made him
Ryan feels very uncomfortable.
Facing such an opponent, Ruian did not dare to neglect him at all. Ruian made a swordsman salute to Dino very politely and said softly: "Please advise."
In the previous competition, Ruian had already used all the sword skills he knew. It is estimated that the opponent knew Ruian's details at a glance. Therefore, Ruian could not use any strategies and could only rely on real skills to compete with his opponents.
Dino was not rude and returned a swordsman's salute, but the smile on his lips became even thicker and he said softly: "Don't worry, I will let you see my true ability."
This statement is a bit confusing, but Ryan can feel the coldness in it.
Next, following the referee's order, Ryan immediately took a few steps back and opened a distance of six or seven meters, because he knew that Dino would definitely use the sword as soon as possible.
Sure enough, Dino raised the long sword in his hand, and a burst of light lit up. After a breath, Dino swung the long sword, and a half-foot-long blade came out of the sword. After that, Dino swung the long sword twice more, with two swords each.
A half-foot-long sword blade came out.
Three sword blades were fired one after another within one breath, shooting towards Ruian very quickly.
This is Dino's continuous sword, which can fire three swords at once. However, due to the limitations of Dino's own fighting spirit, the length of the sword is only half a foot long. But even so, it is extremely powerful.
Ruian, who had been prepared for a long time, immediately took a quick step to the left to get out of the way of the first blade, and then used a speed-increasing movement technique to move one step to the left again to avoid the second blade. But the third blade did not matter.
How to avoid it.
At this critical moment, Ruian shouted loudly, swung his half-foot-long heavy sword, and slashed hard at the oncoming sword.
With a "bang" sound, the epee and the sword blade intersected,
Ruian immediately felt like a level 4 swordsman swung his sword and slashed at him, and felt a huge force on his heavy sword.
Suddenly, Ruian was forced to take a step back, feeling depressed in his heart, as if his blood was about to surge up.
Fortunately, although Ryan was forced back by the sword, his heavy sword also split the sword and the sword disappeared.
Ryan breathed a sigh of relief.
This is a good result. In the past, when he faced a very long sword blade, he could only dodge blindly. Now he faces a half-foot-long sword blade. When he can't dodge, he has to use a heavy sword.
Resist. The result was as he expected, the blade could be resisted, although he was forced to take a step back by the blade.
In fact, Ryan is lucky that Dino's sword blade is only half a foot long. If it were more than a foot long, it would not be something that Ryan's current fighting spirit level could withstand.
Dino was not surprised when he saw that his three consecutive sword strikes did not harm Ryan. If Ryan could not parry even the simplest three consecutive sword strikes, then Ryan would not be able to enter the semi-finals.
After Dino fired three sword blades in a row, he immediately adjusted the fighting spirit in his body. After one breath, he fired three sword blades in a row at Ryan.
Forced to take a step back, Ruian immediately adjusted his body movements, and then repeated his old tricks, barely dodging and blocking the blade. However, being forced to take a step back again, Ruian felt some numbness in his right hand holding the epee.
After another breath, Dino fired three more swords in succession.
Ruian repeated his old trick and still managed to block the blade.
Dino then fired three more sword blades...
A moment passed in the blink of an eye, and Dino fired ten consecutive sword attacks. For the first nine times, Ryan used his epee to block the last sword blade. However, Ryan's right hand holding the epee was already cracked.
I can already feel the smell of blood in my mouth.
On the tenth consecutive sword attack, after Ruian dodged the first blade, he suddenly found that it was too late to use his body skills to avoid the second blade. At this time, he had to use his heavy sword to resist the second blade.
With a "bang", Ruian stepped back, but before he could stand up straight, the third sword ray that followed hit Ruian directly on the right side of his chest.
