Jiu'er had just jumped up and had no time to resist Chu Qin's sudden attack. But by chance, there was a distance between the two of them, and the sword only scratched in front of her neck.
She retreated back to the ground, bowed her head slightly, and sweat broke out on her forehead. If she hadn't been lucky, that blow would have been enough to kill her. She exhaled, adjusted her mind, and raised her sword to attack again.
.
Chu Qin did not show any mercy and also drew his sword to meet the attack.
Soon, the two of them passed more than a dozen moves, and the competition became more and more intense.
Hearing the crackling sound coming from the ring, the people in the surrounding stands also started to murmur.
"Why do I feel like this is already a battle between second-tier players?"
"Nonsense, both of them are at the peak of the third rate. They are no different from the second rate. I just don't know who can last until the end. I think Chu Qin is better."
"Haha, I'm quite optimistic about that little girl. Haven't you noticed that she has been making continuous progress since she came to power? The way and speed of her moves are getting better and better. If she continues like this, Chu Qin will definitely lose."
"Senior, do you mean that the little girl is seeking a breakthrough through competition?"
"Exactly!"
"..."
But in the private room in the high-rise building, Sun Yufu had already smiled: "The little girl has finally entered the second class. This trip was not in vain."
After saying that, he sat back down, picked up the wine gourd and poured some wine.
Tang Ji's eyes were still on Jiu'er and he asked: "Mr. Sun, you said Jiu'er made a breakthrough? But why didn't she just knock Chu Qin off the stage?"
According to the plots in later TV series and novels, when someone suddenly breaks through or advances while competing with someone of the same level, shouldn't he be able to subdue the other person with one move?
Sun Yufu sneered: "There is no specific division between third-rate and second-rate. The reason why Jiu'er has always been in third-rate is because she is not confident enough in her moves and her moves cannot be connected together. Now if you look at her,
To be able to move freely, to dare to fight and to retreat, this is a breakthrough."
Tang Ji nodded in understanding, pressed his chin, and asked: "What's the difference between third-rate and first-rate?"
Before Sun Yufu could answer, Su Qing, who was standing aside, took the lead in answering: "As Senior Sun said before, third-rate people usually focus on exercising their physical strength, so even an ordinary person can enter the third-rate as long as he studies hard and practices hard.
, but if you want to cross over from the third rate to the second rate, you must learn a skill or move and use it skillfully; what second-rate people have to do is to improve what they have learned before, practice the skill or move to perfection, and then use it skillfully.
On this basis, you can then open up the meridians of the body, and you will be a first-class person after completion; a first-class person majors in internal energy, and if he can release his internal power, he has half-stepped into the master realm, but this is a test of talent. Some people have been practicing in the first-class for several months.
Time can release inner strength, and some people have been practicing hard for decades but still remain at the first level. To put it simply, they are third-rate body-training, second-rate martial arts practitioners, and first-rate Qi condensation."
"He can't even get into the third-rate class, why are you talking to him so much?" Sun Yufu shook his legs leisurely and made a few sarcastic remarks.
Tang Ji was too lazy to pay attention to him, and after thinking about it, he asked Su Qing: "Then how do you know the strength of others at a glance?"
"Intuition, if you don't see the opponent's moves, it's difficult to determine how strong he is, but you can guess based on his body shape, expression, breathing, etc." Su Qing patiently explained, then raised his eyes to the ring and added: "
The wine girl is going to win."
Hearing this, Tang Ji didn't ask any more questions and turned to look out the window.
On the ring, Jiu'er was already thoroughly familiar with the sword moves. At this moment, he was jumping up and down like a little rabbit, violently attacking Chu Qin.
After only three moves, she caught the flaw in the opponent's moves, put the long sword directly on Chu Qin's neck, and then raised the corner of her mouth: "You lose!"
In an instant, the entire stand became boiling.
"Wonderful, so wonderful, there is such a wonderful competition among the third rate!"
"This competition is nice to watch, but I've lost all my money!"
"You deserve it. How about you just laughing at us, the lunatics who were guarding Liu? Now Chu Qin has also been defeated."
"..."
Jiu'er snorted softly, put back the long sword, and wiped the sweat on her cheek with her sleeve. She finally broke through to the second level, so that she could better protect the young lady in the future.
Just when she was about to raise her hand to say hello to Tang Ji who was standing upstairs in the distance, Chu Qin in front of her suddenly raised his sword and attacked her: "I haven't given up yet!"
Seeing this, Jiu'er's eyes became serious again, and he was about to raise his sword to fight back, but was beaten first by the figure coming from beside him.
Ye Hongling didn't show mercy at all. He broke Chu Qin's arm with one palm, then hit him again on the chest and knocked him off the ring. Then he stopped and stopped, looked around, and said coldly: "Anyone else is thinking about it?"
If you break the rules of fighting, this is the consequences."
Everyone looked at Chu Qin who was lying on the ground, not knowing whether he was alive or dead. They couldn't help but swallow their saliva, and looked at Ye Hongling with a little more awe.
Ye Hongling and Jiu'er looked at each other and smiled, and then said: "Now that Miss Jiu'er has become the defender, is there anyone else who wants to go on stage to challenge her?"
Some of the third-rate knights who signed up looked at each other and finally decided to give up. After all, Jiu'er was more than enough to deal with Chu Qin. They were asking for embarrassment when they went up and were defeated by a girl. The reputation would not be good if it spread out.
In this way, no one came on stage while waiting for the small meeting, and Ye Hongling directly announced: "In that case, Miss Jiu'er is the first place in this martial arts competition. Chu Qin violated the rules of the competition and the results are invalid. The second place is Liu
Madman, does anyone want to compete with him for second place?"
The news that Madman Liu was injured in his lower body has spread, and no one wants to miss the opportunity to pick up three hundred taels of silver for free. Those who have not yet participated in the competition are eager to try.
Liquor lightly ruffled her broken hair. She didn't expect that she would get the first place after just one fight. In this way, she could spend a happy summer. Thinking of this, she smiled like a crescent moon and walked quickly down the ring.
Return to the building.
In the box, Tang Ji looked away and turned to Ye Xiao, who was sitting on a chair practicing pronunciation, and asked: "Master Ye, Madman Liu has been injured before and has exposed his weaknesses. How can he fight with those who have never participated in the competition?
If someone's goal is to be second or third, and specifically to retain his strength, wouldn't he be more passive, which is a bit unfair, right?"
"I, I bought one..." Ye Xiao stopped mid-sentence, rubbed his throat, and said with a smile: "Crazy Liu is very powerful. Even if he is injured, he should not be easily defeated. Besides, he is calculating.
It’s also a skill.”
Tang Ji sneered lightly, this was obviously a bug in the rules of the competition, but he didn't pay much attention to it. Jiu'er won, and he didn't know how much money he would get, so he rubbed shoulders and prepared to go downstairs to ask.
A figure sitting in the corner listened to the conversation between the two, and suddenly had a plan in mind, and the corners of his mouth could not help but raise slightly.
