Three months passed in the blink of an eye, and the swordsman tournament was about to begin.
Ruian continued to take pills that enhance his mental power for a month, speeding up his training six to seven times faster than usual, and quickly improving his fighting spirit. You know, after Ruian can use magic and fighting spirit at the same time, his training speed has become unbelievable.
After taking the elixir, it would speed up six to seven times, which was simply terrifying. If Ruian hadn't been anxious to improve his strength, he wouldn't have dared to practice at such a fast speed, because it was so fast.
I don't know if there are any hidden dangers.
Ruian's strength has also been raised to the peak level of a level 4 swordsman as expected. Generally speaking, the higher the level of swordsman's fighting spirit, the harder it is to improve and the longer it takes. If you use normal training methods, Ruian is now
With such a fast cultivation speed, it would take him at least half a year.
It took him just over two months to be promoted from level 3 swordsman to level 4 peak swordsman, but while taking the elixir, Ruian did it in just over two months. However, if Ruian wants to advance to level 5 swordsman, he still needs
It may take a while, maybe ten days and a half, or maybe two or three months.
During these three months of seclusion, Ruian did not simply practice fighting qi, but spent half of his time practicing the combination of magic and fighting qi sword skills. In this regard, Ruian created some methods of combining magic and fighting qi, but he only used them in practice.
, has not been used in actual combat, so Ruian will not know the specific effect until it is actually used in actual combat.
As for the problem of insufficient power of the ultimate move, Ruian has some ideas and attempts, but they are not mature yet. More time is needed to try before he can maximize the power and fully exert it.
The day before the Swordsman Conference started, Ruian took the time to go to the magic shop that sold elixirs again. Fortunately, the store had already refined the elixirs that Ruian had commissioned, and this time there were a total of fifty
As many as 20,000 gold coins. For this, Ruian paid 20,000 gold coins.
Ruian learned that the Swordsman Tournament will take at least two or three months. In other words, if Ruian goes from the beginning to the finals, it will take two or three months. Therefore, during this period,
On days when there are no competitions, Ruian can take these newly bought mental power-enhancing elixirs and continue to improve his strength. Maybe he can be promoted to the peak level of a level 5 swordsman before the finals. Of course, the premise of all this is Ruian
Keep winning along the way and cannot be defeated by others.
On the day when the Swordsmen's Conference started, Ryan took Ketisha, Fairley and others early in the morning to the place where the conference was held, an arena built specifically for the Swordsmen's Conference in the inner city of the Holy Power City.
Today is the opening day of the Swordsmen Tournament. All swordsmen have to draw lots to determine the number of matches. The competition is not happening right away. The official competition will not start until tomorrow.
Before Ryan and his party could get close to the arena, they were blocked by guards on the roadside. Because there were too many spectators, the arena could not accommodate so many people, so today only Ryan, who was participating in the competition, could continue to move forward.
Ketisha and other people who wanted to watch the fun were not allowed to enter.
As a last resort, Ruian had to go in by himself. When he stepped into the arena, he was really surprised. There were too many people in the arena, and everyone was a swordsman. It looked like they were here to participate in the draw of the swordsman conference.
of.
Because there were too many people, there was not enough space in the middle of the bidding hall, so all the swordsmen sat on the stepped auditorium.
Although there were many people, there was no feeling of chaos. The swordsmen were no better than the audience, and most of them were more restrained. Moreover, most of the swordsmen participating in the swordsman conference were high-level swordsmen, and most of them had a certain status and relatively high cultivation.
Naturally, I won't laugh loudly and casually like the audience.
"There are close to 10,000 swordsmen here! There are too many people attending the swordsman conference!" Ruian, who was waiting, couldn't help but sigh as he saw the swordsmen coming in one after another.
Half a day later, it seemed that all the swordsmen participating in the swordsmen conference had arrived. At this time, a middle-aged man wearing the uniform of an official from the Kauraya Empire walked into the arena surrounded by a group of people who looked like junior officials.
On the platform in the middle, the middle-aged official immediately began to speak to the swordsmen in the audience.
At first, Ruian listened carefully, but soon he heard that the middle-aged officials were all talking about praising the Kaouya Empire and the Kaouya Emperor, so Ryan had no interest in listening anymore.
A little while later, when many swordsmen were drowsy but unable to interrupt, the middle-aged official finally ended his conversation and started to get down to business.
"The number of participants in this swordsman competition in our Kaouya Empire is the largest number of swordsmen participating in the competition in history. The number of participating swordsmen has reached more than 8,000."
"Wow!" The swordsmen exclaimed, interrupting the middle-aged official. Ruian couldn't help but sigh again: "It's surprising that there are so many high-level swordsmen in the Kaouya Empire! No wonder
It is called the Empire of Swordsmen. It seems that it is very difficult for me to win the first place. It is also very difficult for others to win the first place."
The middle-aged official just paused for a moment and continued: "Among all the participating swordsmen, there are about a thousand swordsmen who are level 6 swordsmen, there are more than 7,000 level 5 swordsmen, and there are hundreds more who have strength beyond the same level.
A level 4 swordsman.”
"Due to the large number of participants, this swordsman tournament will be divided into four divisions: southeast, northwest and northwest. Correspondingly, each division will be held in separate arenas in the four urban areas of southeast, northwest and northwest. The top thirty will be determined in each division.
After the second place and the top 128 in the four divisions are determined, they will return to the current general arena for the remaining games. The first place in each division will enter the top four of this swordsman competition.
name, from which the first place winner of this swordsman tournament will be determined."
"The rules of this swordsman competition are the same as before, that is, each swordsman will compete in a one-on-one elimination match. The specific rules are as follows: Every swordsman participating in the competition cannot deliberately kill his opponent..." the middle-aged official continued to talk.
There are some detailed rules. These rules are similar to the rules of other similar competitions. They are nothing more than rules that the competition must be fair and fair, and no killing or major harm can be caused.
Many swordsmen did not listen carefully to these overly familiar rules, but Ruian was different. He listened very carefully and seriously. Because Ruian wanted to hear whether there were any restrictions on the use of magic in the rules, he
I am very worried that the use of magic is prohibited in the competition, so once Ryan uses magic in the competition, he is likely to be disqualified. And if Ryan wants to get first place in the swordsman competition, he can rely on the ability to use magic and fighting spirit at the same time. If
If magic is banned, then Ryan won't have to compete.
After the middle-aged official explained the lengthy rules, Ryan suddenly breathed a sigh of relief and smiled: "It's best that magic is not prohibited." Looking back, Ryan thought for a moment, some swordsmen used magic swords and could use magic swords.
The effect of magic comes. If magic is prohibited, then magic swords will not be able to be used, which will cause dissatisfaction among many swordsmen, so the rules do not mention the prohibition of magic. Of course, this is just Ryan's guess, and
It cannot be ruled out that it was caused by negligence on the part of the organizers of the Swordsmen Tournament.
"This swordsman tournament has set up rich rewards. The first place can get a super-level magic sword, the second place can get a high-level sword skills secret book, and the third place can get a high-level armor.
In addition, the top three in the Swordsmen Tournament can receive an audience with our supreme king.
With the opportunity of Emperor Kaouya, the first place winner can even make a reasonable request on the spot, and our supreme Emperor Kaouya will give a special gift to the first place winner to satisfy this reasonable request," the middle-aged official mentioned.
When he was Emperor Kaouya, he looked very respectful.
Ruian felt a little calmer. He had always heard what others said about these rewards and was always a little worried about their authenticity. Now that the middle-aged official confirmed it, he finally felt relieved.
Then the middle-aged official talked about the rewards for other ranking winners. Ruian was not interested and did not listen carefully because he was rushing to get first place and could not get first place. Other rewards were not tempting to Ruian.
Even the rewards for second and third place, high-level sword skill tips and high-level armor are not attractive to Ruian.
At the same time, Ruian found that some swordsmen were not interested. Obviously, they were also here for the rewards of the top three. Indeed, the biggest reason why this swordsman conference attracted so many swordsmen to participate was the top three.
of rewards.
The middle-aged official spoke for a long time and finally finished his speech. Next, it was time to draw lots for the participating swordsmen.
Immediately, more than a dozen staff members pushed four notice boards that were more than ten meters long and two to three meters high. The notice boards were made of wooden frames with wheels underneath to facilitate the staff's pushing. It was obvious that the four notice boards were marked respectively.
The four divisions mentioned by the middle-aged official just now have a number of blank spaces densely listed on them. It is estimated that after the lottery is drawn, the staff will write the names of the competing swordsmen on these blank spaces.
The middle-aged official then introduced the method of drawing lots. As Ruian expected, the notice boards were numbered, and all the numbers were arranged in the order of the matches. The time of each game was marked on it. The winner continued to play until
The first place in the division will be determined. Each participating swordsman will draw lots on stage and will receive a number. Then the staff will write the participating swordsman’s name in the corresponding space on the notice board. In this way, the participating swordsmen can draw lots from the notice board.
See your opponent and the time of the game.
Subsequently, under the arrangement of the middle-aged officials, the participating swordsmen began to line up one after another and came to the stage to draw lots.
There were more than 8,000 participating swordsmen, so the drawing of lots was bound to take a lot of time. Ruian quickly went on stage and lined up to draw the lots, because he did not want to waste a little time and wanted to use the time to practice and improve his strength.
Half a day later, it was Ruian's turn. After showing the sign issued during registration, Ruian casually pulled out a small piece of paper and handed it to the staff member in front of him. The other person then read: "No. 6582, Ruian, Level 4 Swordsman.
