"There are many rules for martial arts competitions in this world, but the rules of this offspring conference where the quasi-contestants compete with swords are the weirdest. The Sword Master became famous back then, relying on one word - fast, quick to shoot, quick to react, quick to change moves, and to defeat the opponent in a short time. The old man's eyes did not take his eyes off the fight on the stage for a moment.

"Is it enough to practice an agile skill?" "That's a bad statement," the old man shook his head: "Master duel, the competition is not only about tricks, but also internal strength. Internal force can not only make the trick more powerful, but also improve one's own stamina. Juggernaut is a person who perfectly combines internal force and swordsmanship. In terms of the control of internal force, even now, no one can be as free as the Sword Master. ”

"No, if you look at the guy in the stand, he's very responsive. I pointed to a jouster on the stage. The old man squinted at him for a while and said: "No, his tricks are only good swordsmanship, and he has not applied internal force to swordsmanship, if he fights against a master, within ten moves, he will definitely be unable to parry." ”

"Is it so difficult to control the internal force?" "The internal force is hidden in the seven meridians and eight veins of the human body, and the use of internal force needs to be cautious. Before the Sword Master, the people in the martial arts had always believed that the agile and ethereal swordsmanship and internal force were incompatible until the appearance of the Sword Master. Have you heard the story of the Juggernaut?" the old man asked me, turning his head.

I nodded and said, "It is said that his moves are very fast and his swordsmanship is very good. "No, everyone doesn't admire his swordsmanship, but admires that he can use his internal force to his powerful swordsmanship. "Oh, I nodded thoughtfully, no, it seems off-topic, why didn't he tell me the rules?

"The original intention of the Sword Saint to establish the Afterlife Conference was to select talented apprentices and pass on his martial arts skills to him. Therefore, the rules of this afterlife conference are that the Juggernaut is made according to his own standards," the old man pointed to the various objects in the ring, and all kinds of people said to me, "Everyone draws lots not only to draw a wooden card with a color, but also to have a serial number on it, representing the order of each person's appearance. First of all, the player who has drawn the number one will defend the fight and meet the challenges of others. The two must decide the winner within twenty moves, and if they can't decide the winner within twenty moves, the two will be out of the game because of the violation. ”

"Ah, it's only twenty moves, isn't that too little. "It's not a lot at all, if there is really a master, let alone twenty moves, even ten moves are enough." The old man stroked his beard and smiled slightly. "In short, everyone will go on stage and take on the challenge of thirteen opponents, but once they are defeated by one opponent, or if they don't have a winner within twenty moves, then they don't have to fight anymore, regardless of how many opponents have not yet made a move. He defeated a few opponents during his defense, and he scored a few points. The men in the audience are the referees, and they will determine whether it is a violation. When the incense beside him burned out, the contest would stop. ”

"Will there be a situation where there are still people who don't come on stage to defend and only get zero points?"

"Yes, of course. It is precisely because there is a time limit that the defender will do his best to try to knock down the opponent in the least amount of time, and the attacker, in order to win the opportunity to defend himself, will also try to defeat the defender as soon as possible. In order to prevent players from deliberately delaying time, defensive tricks are also counted in the total moves. After listening to the old man's explanation, the only thought in my heart was that this rule was too perverted, and all the people participating in the competition were not only playing with their opponents, but also racing against time, and in this crazy mode, it was almost impossible to delay time.

Because the attacking side will definitely attack at any cost in order to win the opportunity to defend itself, and the defending side can only let go, because he is just a simple parry action is also a move, and when the referee counts twenty, his defense opportunity will be lost, so he will naturally attack desperately. It's really worthy of a sword master, thinking of such a perverted rule. However, it is undeniable that under such conditions, the spectacle of the competition has been greatly improved, and people do not feel deeply immersed in it.

"Isn't that friend of yours on stage yet?" I arched over and glanced forward, where Yuan Zhao was still standing under the stage, and there were three people standing to his right. "Hehe, it seems that the people in front of him failed to defend before they could fight him. The old man bowed slightly, looked at the fighting figures in the ring to the south, and shook his head gently.

"Old man, what do you mean by the crown field you just said?" suddenly remembered a term that the old man had told me just now that I hadn't understood yet, so I asked him. "Champion field refers to defeating all opponents when defending and getting thirteen points. ”

"What if two people have the same score?" "If one group has more than one top spot and all score more than seven points, then weed out the others and let them do it again." "Hey, what if the first place score is less than seven points?" "Then they don't have to compare, according to the rules, they are all eliminated." ”

As we spoke, the four pillars of incense were almost half burned, why hadn't Yuan Zhao been on it yet, I looked at him from time to time. "Haha, who else?" I didn't notice at all that a big Chinese on the stage said in a smug tone.

Oh my God, isn't that the disciple of the Hengshan faction An Yitian who made fun of me and Yuan Zhao? I didn't expect him to be in a group with Yuan Zhao. At this time, he had just defeated an attacking opponent, and his tone was quite proud. At this moment, a familiar figure quietly jumped into the stands, Yuan Zhao! Yuan Zhao finally came on the field!

"Yuan Zhao, come on!" I stood up and yelled at him. An Yitian sneered: "Boy, I'll let you know how powerful Lao Tzu is today!" used a move to split Huashan, and went straight to the door of Yuan Zhao's face, seeing his invincible momentum, a wave of worry suddenly surged in my heart: Can Yuan Zhao win him?
