Ruian took out a small piece of paper, took it in front of his eyes, read it loudly: "No. 13."
As soon as he finished speaking, a strong man stood up from the crowd sitting next to him in the back row.
Suddenly, the surrounding test officials were in an uproar.
"Ah, it's Pulis. This kid is so unlucky that he got Pulis."
"Boy, you are in trouble, Pulis is the most powerful among us."
"Boy, prepare for the funeral. None of Pulis's men are uninjured."
…
Ryan was a little surprised. It seemed that he was not very lucky and had picked a very strong opponent.
But Ruian didn't care too much. He had faced stronger opponents. Besides, he didn't have to win. As long as he performed better, he should have no problem passing. Therefore, Ruian behaved calmly.
Ruian's performance made the examiners nod. This is exactly the quality that an excellent swordsman should have.
The test officer named Pulis also behaved very casually. As a proud first-level swordsman, he really didn't want to compete with these freshmen who were not even swordsmen. If it weren't for the academy's regulations, they would have come in last year
A second-year student had to volunteer as a test officer, but he was unwilling to do so.
Ryan looked carefully at Pulis who came over. He was about the same height and build as Ryan, with clear facial features and slightly short hair that made the lines on his face look sharper.
Pulis was also sizing up Ryan. Ryan's appearance made him wary: "This looks like a tough hand. It's not like those little furry kids before who didn't have all their hair. You have to be careful not to capsize in the gutter."
The two sides came to the weapon rack next to the open space in the room. According to the regulations of this level, the two sides can choose weapons at will to compete and learn.
Seeing that the other party quickly picked out an epee, Ruian was a little hesitant: "I came to sign up today. Naturally, I didn't bring any weapons and equipment. But without the sword and stick, it was as if I had lost a hand. My strength
What should I do if there is a big reduction?”
Ruian looked carefully at the swords on the weapons rack, hoping to find a sword that suited him.
Pulis saw that Ryan had not chosen a weapon and was a little impatient. He couldn't help but urge: "Please hurry up and choose. After the competition, there are still others to test."
Hearing Pulis' urging, Ryan felt a little anxious. At this moment, he had an idea and directly took the weapon and mounted the longest giant sword.
The giant swords in this world are swords that are much larger in appearance than ordinary swords. This is a special type of sword that is generally suitable for use by people with special requirements and special sword skills.
However, the giant sword that Ryan held was not huge in appearance, but long. Compared with ordinary swords, this long giant sword was about two-thirds longer, reaching a length of almost one and a half meters.
Since the swords here are all blunt, Ryan chose this long sword and decided not to use it purely as a sword.
After choosing the sword, both parties stood in the open space in the middle of the room at the examiner's signal.
The two were facing each other, but neither of them made any move.
Pulis did not attack other freshmen with his sword at once like other testers, and then kill the new student with a few swish of swords. His intuition told Pulis that this freshman was difficult to deal with, and he might act rashly.
It will carry a big somersault.
In this way, the two of them faced off silently, as if no one wanted to take action.
The testers who were watching the game did not cheer for their teammates like they were watching the game, but quietly watched the game. The identity of the testers determined that they really couldn't afford to do these things, so they could only steal at most.
Just a whisper.
Maybe the examiner was impatient, or maybe he felt that he should not waste too much time for the next test, so the examiner sitting on the left said something that forced Rui'an to take action: "If you don't start the test, you will lose."
.”
As soon as Ryan took action, people felt strange. He grabbed the hilt of the sword with both hands, swung the long giant sword, and struck hard at his opponent. Ryan's hands were not small, but fortunately the hilt of the long giant sword was also very long, enough
Ruian's hands grasped it firmly. Therefore, the first move Ruian made was somewhat similar to Ruian's favorite stick move "Taishan Pressure".
Pulis raised the heavy sword in his hand and raised it flat to block.
With a "clang" sound, the heavy sword in Price's hand sank half a foot, but it had already blocked Ryan's move. However, Ryan's long giant sword bounced upwards, and Ryan took advantage of the situation and took it back.
Obviously, the strength of the two is about the same, and the weight of the heavy sword and the long sword are also about the same. This collision is evenly matched.
Pulis cannot use his fighting spirit and can only use his physical strength, which cannot bring out his full strength, but his strength is no weaker than Ryan's.
Ruian, on the other hand, could not use his own sword stick, and could only use the long giant sword that was not easy to use, and he could not use his full strength.
Then, Ryan grabbed the hilt of the sword with one hand and the sword body with the other, using the long sword as a sword stick. This was an idea that came to his mind just now when he saw that the blade of the long sword has a blunt tip.
.Although the length of the long sword is a little shorter than the sword stick, and the shape is very different, this does not prevent Ruian from using it as a sword stick.
Ryan's very weird sword-wielding method immediately shocked Price, and then he was even more confused by Ryan's sword and stick moves.
Pulis found it incredible. Such a way of wielding a sword and such a move were really unseen and unheard of. He also wanted to question Ryan, but Ryan's continuous attacks made him choke on the words and couldn't speak out.
.
Suddenly, just as Pulis was blocking Ryan's attack, the epee in Pulis' hand glowed brightly. Under Ryan's heavy pressure, he unconsciously used his fighting spirit.
Upon seeing this, Ruian immediately stopped attacking, took two steps back, and said with an innocent face: "You violated the rules, you used grudge."
Pulis was greatly embarrassed. The words he originally wanted to question the other party turned into very embarrassing words: "I forgot for a moment. I'm sorry, let me lose this competition."
"No need to apologize, let's compete again." Ryan suddenly felt that it was not very satisfying to end the competition like this. He wanted to enjoy the fun of fighting again.
Ryan is beginning to have some fighting potential!
"Okay, your sword skills are very special. Where did you learn them?" Obviously Pulis is also a fighting maniac.
"Well... I learned it randomly on my own." Ruian thought for a while and replied.
"Come again." Pulis shouted, and this time he attacked first.
Although Pulis did not use his fighting spirit with his sword, looking at the momentum, it was definitely no less powerful than fighting spirit.
Ruian stepped aside and struck back with a sword without showing any signs of weakness. It should be said that it was a stick.
Pulis was a little uncomfortable with Ryan's strange moves before, but now he is mentally prepared. With his superior strength, he is not at a disadvantage.
After dozens of moves, the two people come back and forth, and they are evenly matched. According to previous tests, if both sides are still evenly matched after dozens of moves, the examiner will stop and let the tester pass.
However, now the examiners obviously do not intend to stop Ruian's test. They probably also want to see clearly these strange sword skills of Ruian.
The more Ruian fought, the more frightened he became. He had fought several mercenaries before and found that the sword skills of the mercenaries were not very good, but Ruian's sword and stick moves were very advantageous when fighting them. But now.
, I tried my swordsmanship with someone who was probably about the same age as me and was only a level 1 swordsman, but I actually couldn't get the upper hand.
It can be seen that there is a huge gap between mercenaries who have attended the academy and those who have not!
This made Ruian even more eager to study in the academy.
In the end, Ryan still relied on his old method to defeat Price. When Price slashed Ryan with his sword and was blocked by Ryan, he suddenly flew up with his right foot and kicked Price's right hand that raised the sword.
The heavy sword was released.
Pulis instantly took two steps back, held his injured right hand with his left hand, and said angrily: "You are cheating!"
Suddenly, Ryan looked at Pulis with extremely serious eyes. He had been preparing for a long time and wanted to make some quibbles, but he was too embarrassed to say it again, so he looked at Pulis with an innocent look and said: "
Sorry, I can't defeat you without deception. You are too powerful."
Prince's anger subsided immediately, and he laughed: "Good boy, I, Prince, will remember you, and I will fight you slowly in the future."
Ruian nodded to indicate that he understood, then turned to look at the examiners, and found that the three examiners were smiling with satisfaction.
Ruian became happy instantly, knowing that he had passed the test.
The examiner then gave Ruian an "excellent" rating. According to the examiner, if Ruian hadn't defeated his opponent with his feet, he would have received an "excellent" rating.
