Chapter 146: Sword Saint of the East, Demigod of the West (Medium)
"Seeing the two masters on the stage, one can't help but wonder, are we back in the legendary heroic era?
In ancient Greek mythology, the heroes of ancient mankind inherited the blood of the gods, invulnerable, infinitely powerful, and acted like the wind.
They strangled the fierce lion of the forest, killed the nine-headed water snake that harmed people and animals in the swamp, and captured the wild boar alive in the dense forest.
They got rid of countless beasts that endangered humanity and opened up a small living space for humanity in the barbaric era.
I always thought it was just a myth.
In the end, human beings rely on collective strength and the development of science and technology to compete with all kinds of wild beasts, how can anyone defeat beasts purely by body?"
"But now, the two masters on the stage have demonstrated to us what is called the power of human limits, and in my opinion, even the resurrection of ancient heroes is nothing more than that. ”
Here Edna is analyzing the clever attack defense and inhuman changes of the two men in the ring in slow motion, and over there, Mr. Douglas is full of praise for the match with a passionate commentary.
In the ring, at a speed that is completely invisible to the naked eye, Yanagi Yuan, who is staggered and circling and fighting, and Leilani Artoria, have been on their hands for half an hour.
Generally speaking, in the later stage of the martial soul duel, in the rules of the game, there is no limit to the time of the players, and it is not uncommon for the players to play for half an hour in a game.
But that's calculated by adding the total time of the confrontation between the players, and now, the Kamen Swordsman and Her Royal Highness Princess Leilani Artoria, who have fought fiercely in the finals, have not had even a second of confrontation time from the beginning of the competition to the present.
They simply fought each other for half an hour at a speed that was difficult to distinguish with the naked eye!
Not to mention the martial arts skills of the two (at least the people present are not qualified to evaluate), just maintaining such high-speed offensive and defensive physical strength is already terrifying.
"Zheng Zheng Zheng ————"
The sound of the dense sword clash has been resounding from the beginning of the game to the present, but fortunately, these boxes were originally used by people with status to watch theatrical performances, and there was more than one screen in each box.
Now, everyone is listening to Miss Edna's commentary in slow motion on one screen, and Mr. Douglas is singing on the other screen about the actual game.
Of course, the vast majority of people still hold binoculars and stare at the live battle between the two in the ring from afar, after all, everyone spent a lot of money, not to watch the broadcast, and the video can be watched slowly at home.
In the ring below, the confrontation of masters of this level is rare to see, even if you can't see the figure clearly!
"Zheng Zheng Zheng Ding-" Suddenly there was a strange sound, like a whirlwind, and the two figures hovering in the center of the arena, one left and one right, flew out, until they stopped, everyone saw clearly, standing on the left of the ring was the Ice Mask, and standing on the right of the ring was Her Royal Highness Princess Leilani Artoria.
And in the other corner of the ring, half of the blade flew here, landed on the ground, and rolled a few times in a 'ding, ding, ding'.
——————————
"Ahh
"Dad, what's wrong with you, don't scare me!" Hearing her father's screams, Mingshan Jiahua hurriedly rushed into her father's room, and saw her father sitting on the sofa like a mourner, and the faces of the two brothers were also ugly as if their father had died.
"My reputation is over! It's a monster, this can be broken? This is a sword made of tungsten manganese alloy in one form! This is a steel with a strength of 10.8, a steel that is higher than the armor of a tank!"
Master Mingshan looked at the live broadcast on the TV screen and screamed in disbelief.
Perhaps the hardness of tungsten manganese alloy is not the highest, but the yield strength of this alloy can be regarded as the metal material with the highest index among the materials that can be found on the market.
Moreover, in the martial soul duel, the weapons used by the players are not allowed to open the blade at all, so the hardness index of the material is not very meaningful, and the strength index is the most important.
But now, as a famous swordsmith, the long knife he made for customers was actually broken in the final arena of the martial soul duel in full view of everyone!
Originally, Master Mingshan thought that this was a good opportunity for his career to take a leap, but now it is difficult to keep the original situation.
Jiahua Mingshan followed the gaze of her father and brother, and a close-up was shown on the TV screen.
In the hands of a blonde woman, the big sword held in both hands began at some point, and the eight rune marks on the sword body were indefinite, flashing with strange light;
On the blade of the big sword, there is a layer that is visible to the naked eye, and the white rays are flowing endlessly like water waves.
The blonde girl was silent for a while before she spoke: "I have to admit that in terms of pure martial arts, your attainments are above mine, but Artoria's name cannot be tarnished, so I want you to witness why Artoria's bloodline is called a legendary bloodline!"
Under the steel sword, no one survived, Mr. Yanagi, it's too late to admit defeat!"
As soon as the camera turned, standing at the other end of the ring, the young man with a white mask raised the half-cut blade in his hand and looked at it, and replied with a smile: "The steel sword really lives up to its name! ”
"However, I also have a sword, and I want to ask Her Royal Highness the Princess to taste one or two!"
On the TV screen, a young swordsman wearing a white mask casually threw the half-cut blade in his hand backwards, threw it out of the field, and then calmly untied another identical long knife from behind his back.
The long knife is unsheathed, and the masked swordsman slashes horizontally with one hand, the blade facing upwards, holding the knife horizontally in front of the tip of his nose, and from the close-up on the screen, under the white mask, a pair of sharp eyes are located on the blade, staring straight at each other.
The next moment, a young swordsman wearing a white mask, put the middle finger of his left index finger together, and slowly wiped it from the hilt to the tip of the knife.
A flash of white light rippled on the blade as it swept through the fingers, and from the TV screen, it seemed so similar to the white light on the two-handed sword in the blonde girl's hand!
"One of the Tai Sword, the secret sword created by my country's sword saint Tsukahara Bu Chuan in the Warring States Period, a knife in hand, nothing is chopped!
"Yanagi Yuanhe, it's impossible!" "Akeyama Yoshika almost stared out of her sockets and cried out in disbelief.
Although he wears a mask, he has been a classmate for two years, and Mingshan Jiahua is not unrecognizable, but isn't he the same age as himself? Why did he go to TV, did he go to act in movies and become a star? No wonder he didn't see him in school during this time!
However, why is Daddy so excited to watch a movie?
————————————
"Impossible! There is anyone in the world who can cultivate a steel sword without relying on his ability?" As the white light of the long knife in the hand of the Ice Mask flickered, two black-gauzed masked ladies in surprise on the British side's assistant's seat under the ring.
"Mom, are you sure it's a steel sword? maybe some other skill!"
"My awakened ability is the Eye of Truth, and it's definitely true, it's the Steel Slasher!"
"Could it be that he is the outcast blood of our Artoria family?"
'Smack' the young assistant was slapped lightly on the head.
"Nonsense, when will our family give birth to a boy?"
"Maybe he's dressed as a man!" the young assistant said, covering his head.
"It's not impossible!"
————————————
"It turns out that this is Mr. Yanagi's dependence? Yes, Mr. Yanagi has indeed not done his best, it is Leilani who is too self-righteous, but what hole cards Mr. has, now they can be revealed one by one, otherwise, I am afraid that there will be no chance later. ”
As she spoke, the blonde girl's big sword reversed, the blade of the sword was inserted into the ground of the ring, she held the hilt of the sword with both hands, her face turned pale, and she announced loudly:
“I ill be kind to the eak.
I ill be brave against the strong.
I ill fight all ho do rong.
I ill fight for those ho cannot fight
I ill help those ho call me for help.
I ill harm no oman.
I ill help my brother.
I ill be true to my friends.
I ill be faithful in love.”
When the blonde girl's first words began to echo in the Lethe Grand Theater, it was clear that she was indoors, but a wind that rose out of nowhere stirred her blonde hair.
The wind became stronger and faster, and gradually formed a transparent wind barrier around the blonde girl! And above this transparent wind barrier, there was a tornado column swaying, gradually taking shape, driving the air in the indoor space of the entire Lethe Theater to begin to flow and rotate.
"Oh my God, it's really wind, my dear, you reach out outside the box and try it, it's not an illusion, it's really windy!" In one of the boxes, a woman's cry of surprise was heard.
When the blonde girl's voice resounded throughout the Lethe Theater, the girl's green eyes slowly grew from nothing, overflowing with a strong light, her eyes seemed to have become two luminous bodies, there was no longer a difference between the whites of the eyes and the eyeballs, only two white rays in the eye sockets!
As the blonde girl continued to recite the knight's proverbs, her voice became louder and louder, and in the entire Lethe Grand Theater, in such a huge space, the girl's voice changed from low to high, from slow to intense, and gradually turned into thunder, deafening, as if the entire atmosphere was roaring!
The wind swept and the blonde hair flew, and the ears of the blonde girl became slender and sharp at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The sky-blue armor gradually stretched and expanded, and the armor that was originally close to the body was forcibly enlarged, but Artoria VI's body that had swelled around was not bloated, but more heroic.
If the blonde girl still looks like a slender female warrior, then at the moment, she looks more like a handsome teenager with a muscular, slightly neutral twist.
At the end of Artoria VI's recitation, there was a crackling, faint sound around her, and from time to time a slight flash of light flickered around her body.
The wind blows her blonde hair, thunder and lightning surround her, and everything in heaven and earth seems to revolve around her, at this moment, she no longer looks like a princess, but a handsome god of war who has come out of the age of mythology!
————————
"The robe of the wind, the eye of truth, the ear of the elf, the body of the rock, the armor of thunder, and the sword of steel! Oh my God, she has awakened six abilities, six! Mom, there are still two things left, and my sister can challenge the last level!" In the assistant seat below the ring, the young woman grabbed the arm of the older woman excitedly and whispered.
In a box on the second floor, the old man was full of emotion: "It's worth it, it's worth it!" This is a rare picture in a hundred years, Fernando, if you look carefully, this is the legendary bloodline, this is the strongest force of mankind, more than two hundred years, there is finally another Artoria in the world!
It's so rare to be able to see the descendants of the Knight King reveal their true form! It's so rare! What a feast for the eyes! Old John, they must regret dying, you must know that even throughout the history of the world, there are definitely not many people who can have the opportunity to witness an Artoria show her battle form!"
"Contact Master Sasaki and ask him to ensure the safety of Yanagi-kun's life, we must not let Japan's Sword Master die here before he has time to grow!" In another box on the second floor, Emperor Seirei of Japan looked at the screen without looking back, and commanded in a low voice.
"Hey, I'll go right away. ”
————————————
"Ah, everyone who comes here today pays at least a million euros or more, but I can say for sure that everyone will not regret it. Today, here, and now, the legend has come to life! The power of the Knight King has reappeared in the world after a thousand years!
Now, no one can question the existence of the Knight King, no one can doubt the power of the Knight King, because a living model is standing here, standing on the stage of the world's pinnacle warriors, showing this power that is beyond human and almost god.
This is the legend of mankind, this is the hero of mythology, she came, she came out of history, she is standing here, so that we can peek through her, the real side of myths and legends!"
Commentator Douglas stood up excitedly, waved his arms vigorously on the commentary seat, and shouted hoarsely.
——————————
"Mr. Yanagi, the body of the rock has more than doubled my strength, and the Thunder Armor can also double my speed and reaction at the same time, and now I'm afraid I can't properly control this sudden expansion of power, if you continue to fight, there is little chance that you will get out of the ring alive.
Now, Mr. Yanagi, you still have one last chance to get out of the ring safely!"
In the howling wind, Leilani Artoria, who became neutral, spoke in a voice that changed from the soft and melodious voice of a girl to a clash of gold and iron, a feeling of condescending with gifts and treating all beings like ants, which was revealed with cold words.
This is a kind of crushing of the life level, just like a dragon will not talk to a mouse on an equal footing, in the eyes of Leilani Artoria VI at this moment, he was able to fight on an equal footing just now, and even overwhelmed himself in terms of skills, forcing himself to use a steel sword to force back the opponent, after he activated a variety of abilities and showed his battle form, the reality of this masked swordsman has been seen at a glance.
In the final analysis, he is just a mortal, from the perspective of the true eye, the other party's vitality field is no more than one-fifth of his own, that is to say, the other party is at most less than twice as strong as the ordinary human physique, although it is also rare, but this kind of power, in front of himself, is just a mouse in front of the cat.
For an Artoria, activating multiple abilities at the same time doesn't come without a cost. If Artoria's bloodline, which has not yet activated more than three abilities, can actively control behavior through its own will, then after activating more than three abilities, the subjective will can only act as a bridge between abilities.
As a result, Artoria, who has activated more than four abilities, will involuntarily display a cold combat form, because only by turning into a purely sane fighting machine can the balance of power between these powerful abilities be maintained.
That's why only the Knight King bloodline that can activate more than four abilities can inherit Artoria's name!
In order to maintain Artoria's undefeated prestige, after walking out of the Lake of Tranquility, Leilani Artoria, who showed her combat form for the first time, became cold and ruthless in her thinking, and absolute reason prevailed, and in this state, she had no concept of mercy at all.
However, this opponent just made himself very happy, and for the sake of the indulgence in just half an hour, let's give him another chance to live!
Artoria VI thought coldly.
"After all, I really have a few cards! Let me admit defeat, I have to see if your strength is worthy!"
"Hey, hey, hey, hahaha-"
The two were more than ten meters apart, but every word of Leilani Artoria on the other side seemed to ring in her ears, with a sense of contempt and charity.
After listening to the other party's cold persuasion, Liu Shengyuanhe laughed, his head gradually raised, his laughter went from low to high, and in the laughter, he was gradually dyed with a kind of madness.
Zhang Ming in his previous life, in the fighting virtual game, was a representative of the madness. Riding alone and running rampant, this kind of seemingly crazy thing is completely a kind of game daily life for Zhang Ming, maybe the virtual game world cannot represent the real character of the character, but the character shown in the virtual world is definitely part of the character.
As an iterator of Zhang Ming's soul, how could Liu Shengyuanhe not have his own madness! Perhaps the ordinary daily life and ordinary opponents made him have no chance or need to show it. However, today, since there is such a good opponent and such a good stage, then, let go of yourself and let yourself carnival once!
As Yanagi laughed wildly, on the lower half of his face outside the mask, on his arms outside the white kendo suit, and on his bare feet in the ring, slender silver-white lines began to emerge from under the skin, gradually forming a large net that covered all the exposed skin.
The net grew denser and denser, covering all the exposed skin, until at last his whole being was made of silver.
Yanagi lowered his head and stroked the long knife in his hand with his left hand, as if he were caressing Sakura's hair. When he looked up:
"A knife in hand, rampant eight wilderness, this knife is called - Eight Desolation Rampant Knife!"
