Book 1, Volume 2: The Hunting Game, Chapter 18: Growth
"Gu Qinghuan. Qinghuan looked at Ye Tiancheng and slowly said his name.
"This, how can you use a real knife!" Kang Jun, who reacted, wanted to slap the table and stand up as soon as he was excited, wanting to stop the game immediately.
What are you kidding, what can you do with your future career if you have a life! However, of course Xie Qilan on the side will not let him do bad things, the hypnotic spirit array has already been laid down under the chairs of the remaining five people on the judges' bench, so what the referee got was the affirmative nod of the leaders, and Wang Hui, who was on the home field, saw that the leaders did not refuse, and he also wanted to save face, so he acquiesced in this abrupt duel.
"Brother Cheng. Ye Cong, who was on the side, was stunned, it's not good, his big brother who killed the god is starting to be serious, but no matter how strong the other party is, he is just a weak girl, Brother Cheng is a person who doesn't know how to keep his hands when he starts...
And Brother Cheng, who had a serious and serious face, was in his heart at this time, "Wow, how can this girl be so punctual! I must make you obsessed with me, come and fight with me, let me subdue you!"
"Master, when did you become so belligerent?" Su Jiuxia looked at Gu Qinghuan, who looked serious and even a little eager to try on the field, and muttered to himself, it turns out that at this time, Qinghuan's first reaction is to run away.
After saluting the sword, Gu Qinghuan balanced the sword behind him, moved his right foot forward, leaned forward half-bent, and stretched out his right hand forward in front of him.
"It's fun to play like this at the beginning. Ye Tiancheng did not shy away from pulling out the long knife and throwing the scabbard, swinging the knife and rushing towards Qinghuan, "Then let's see whose attack is fast!"
The two tacitly did not use their spiritual power, after all, it was now in public, so it was still mainly a sword duel, and it was easier to hide and deal with it afterwards.
Gu Qinghuan took a deep breath, touched the ground with his left foot, and suddenly pulled out his knife while stabilizing his breath.
"Bell!" Before everyone had time to react, the knives of the two had already clashed fiercely.
"It's so fast!" The ordinary audience present all felt a chill on the back of their necks, and the speed of these two people was estimated to have hit the street by themselves.
The instant feather kill of the knife was blocked, Qing Huan immediately changed his move, his feet rotated, pushed away Ye Tiancheng's knife, jumped up halfway on his toes, and his whole body spun in a circle and rose, and he swung the knife head-on and slashed down vigorously, and the instant feather kill derivative technique - volume!
"Boom!"
Ye Tiancheng raised the knife above his head, greeted the slash of Qinghuan, and took five steps back before steady, "Interesting." Ye Tiancheng's eyes were sharp and he said excitedly.
"If it's a childish feather, I guess it's not so troublesome, and I really can't do it. Gu Qinghuan took a breath, slowed down his heartbeat, and looked at Ye Tiancheng again, the other party is not an idle person, he has to go all out.
Gu Qinghuan jumped up, holding the knife in both hands, and slashed at Tiancheng head-on, since the other party could even block his extremely fast knife slash, then this kind of ordinary slash naturally did not pose a threat to him, Tiancheng slashed at the blade of Qing Huan's knife, wanting to take the lead, but Qing Huan would not do that kind of attack now knowing that it was ineffective, mutation, steep...
I saw that Gu Qinghuan's knife seemed to be stuck to Ye Tiancheng's knife body, and as the blade of the knife in his hand rotated, Qinghuan blocked the opponent's blade with the plane of the blade, pressed the strength of his whole body on his hand, and slashed straight at the opponent's knife grid along the blade.
This strange change of trick made Ye Tiancheng surprised again, but his excellent psychological quality made him react instantly-pushing forward with his right hand, holding the knife with his backhand, and hitting it hard to jam Qinghuan's knife momentum.
A blow was not obtained, Qinghuan immediately bowed up, the blade of the knife pushed hard, the body was like a cat to unfold, with the help of the force to retreat to the ground, the gait was not stable, the forefoot force to force the force to stop the retreat, kicked the ground hard, changed the retreat into advance, raised his hand to point Ye Tiancheng with a stabbing style, the action was like flowing water, coherent and elegant, and the opposing players and the audience were dumbfounded, the battle between these two people is the art that really belongs to cold weapons!
"Bell!", "Bell!", "Bell!"...
The blades of the two sides met in the air, colliding, rubbing, and bursting out sparks, like daytime fireworks, although not dazzling enough, but also containing a strong smell of gunpowder.
"Although I can skillfully use the moves of the demon sword flow, my whole body is full of flaws, hey. Chu Feng Zhiyu looked at Gu Qinghuan, who had made a fatal move, and listened to the audience's whispered appreciation, and his smile did not change.
"Flawed, that's a perfect grasp, right?" Although Ji doesn't know swordsmanship, as far as he can see, Qing Huan's actions just now obviously didn't make a mistake and would leave a flaw.
"He's still hesitating, as long as he lets go of his inner restraint and whenever he starts attacking, it's over now. ”
"Your moves, how do you feel that your moves are all murderous?" Su Jiuxia looked at Qing Huan's attack, the kind of fierce killing moves that were completely inconsistent with Qing Huan's previous habits made Jiuxia, the onlookers, have some psychological shadows, and he asked Zhi Yu.
"What are you doing with so many knives with the other party at once?" For Jiu Xia's doubts, Zhi Yu asked rhetorically, "Besides, if you don't kill others, others will also kill you, so it's better to kill the other party at the beginning." ”
The moves of the first wind and childish feather are really simple, some are even those basic formulas, but it is such a genre that is almost all simple moves, killing countless masters of the gorgeous and obscure genre of moves, because it is simple, so pure, his sword moves are so simple that there is only one purpose, that is-killing!
And as a bystander, there is really nothing special about the sword moves, yes, the sword moves are there, you look very simple, but if Zhi Yu didn't teach Qing Huan, he wouldn't have thought of using it like this, because he wouldn't have done it without the awareness of this aspect.
Any move, there is no way to use this statement, the key is to see the person who uses it, the same move, the person who reacts quickly can kill the enemy in one move, and the average person can only die under the opponent's knife, so you don't have to stick to the traditional preaching, just improve your own strength, so what Zhiyu brought to Qinghuan is not only the improvement of sword skills, but also a kind of open-mindedness.
Another fierce collision of two knives, the two of them took four steps back at the same time, both panting lightly, obviously suppressing their breathing rhythm and not letting the other find their flaws.
"Looks like you're not an ordinary student. No normal high school student would have this kind of strength at this age, Ye Tian looked at Gu Qinghuan with sincerity, obviously coupled with the task he was given when he came, he guessed Qinghuan's identity, "Do you want to come to my side?"
"This knife is good, does it have a name?" Facing Ye Tiancheng's invitation, he smiled lightly and meaninglessly.
"The knife, it's called the Strange Moon, the Strange Moon, the Moon of the Moon, my friend gave it to me. Judging from Qinghuan's attitude, he should have refused, but Ye Tiancheng didn't care, he finally found the existence of a beautiful woman with superb swordsmanship and at the same time, which made him, who had always been accustomed to looking up at the starry sky at a forty-five degree angle and sighing at the world's sadness, as if he had found Aladdin's magic lamp.
"Then, if I win, can you give it to me?" Gu Qinghuan pursed his lips and asked thoughtfully.
"If I can make a friend with you, I can give it to you now, by the way, do you have any male friends?" Ye Tiancheng smiled, he didn't take his long knife seriously, and agreed directly.
"Brother Cheng, you're here again. Ye Cong really looked at his eldest brother speechlessly, why did you make this old mistake again, every time you sigh that girls in the world can't do it, and you have to pursue it every time, and you change people regularly, you can do these things in the family, this is the outside!
"Male friends? Over there. Qinghuan pointed back at Su Jiuxia, but found that he didn't know when Ji and Chufeng Zhiyu actually came, looking at their appearance, it is estimated that they have been on the field for a long time, so they will not be embarrassed at the beginning and have also been seen...
Then on the other side, not surprisingly, the eyes of the audience gathered on one person again, and Su Jiuxia even faintly heard the red-haired boy say that he was going out to clean him up...
"That's not what his male friend meant!" Su Jiuxia's heart was close to collapse.
"Jiuxia-kun, you seem to be quite concerned. ”
"Get out, I've been pointed out by Qianfu, Master, can you kill me next time without your off-line IQ?" Su Jiuxia, who was watched by everyone, couldn't help but bury his head, but...
Sure enough, it's so pleasant, looking at their jealousy and contempt that can't be concealed no matter how much they can't hide it, Jiuxia instantly understands why everyone hates others for pretending to be forced, but everyone wants to pretend to be ambivalent, this feeling, pleasure, pleasure...
And Ye Tiancheng on the field also stared at him and touched the corners of his mouth, but fortunately, he reacted quickly.
"Besides, I still want to take it after I win. Gu Qinghuan looked at the Tai Dao in his hand, obviously he was very interested in this knife, "Wei Yue... It's going to be a good fit for her. ”
"So you still have to let me go?" Xiao Xuetong's phantom on the side smiled mischievously, "Didn't you say that one person can solve it?"
"Are we two people?" you said yourself. "With Xue Tong's words, Qinghuan doesn't bother to think of any reason, for her, no matter what she does, she will always do it according to your requirements.
"It's like... Oh, yes, you're finally acknowledging your gender. ”
"You learned badly from Xin Yue!!"
In an instant, the phantom and the entity coincided, the consciousness blended, the keel state, and the operation!
"Here it is again, Qing Huanjun's strange physical changes. Chu Feng Zhiyu quietly looked at the arena, this kind of variable still made him still a little concerned, after all, he was still responsible for Gu Qinghuan's training task.
Ye Tiancheng also clearly sensed the change in Qinghuan's temperament at the moment, if it was sharp as a knife before, then now... How did it become more feminine like spirit silk?
Flat and horizontal knife body, Qing Huan did not show a pupil array, but a condensation of black eyes, three points, a line, dragon teeth!
If Gu Qinghuan's own knife speed just now was an arrow off the string, then after merging with Xue Tong's consciousness, his knife speed became a deloaded bullet.
Ye Tiancheng's eyes shrank suddenly, and almost subconsciously raised his knife to block Qing Huan's dragon teeth, but even so, his right arm was still scratched, and blood flowed out from the cuffs.
However, it was not so easy to end, and in the moment of passing by, Qinghuan slowed down with his left foot horizontally, and at the same time twisted his waist and swung his body to sweep with a knife.
If there is anyone else who can compete with Zhi Yu in swordsmanship, it is only Xiao Xue Tong in Qinghuan's consciousness!
"Bang bang!"
However, Ye Tiancheng's reaction was not unpleasant, although the power in his hand was too late to be mobilized, but he was still able to reluctantly draw his knife back to block Qinghuan's sweep, although it looked a little embarrassed.
But he underestimated the power of Qinghuan's slash, he thought that he would be like him in such a back move, he didn't use much force, but he was directly split back in a startled, and his gait was messy, but he was also a master, not only did he not panic, but simply jumped up, turned over, supported the ground with his left hand, and stabilized his body while opening the distance.
"There is no spiritual power fluctuation and alien blood induction, why is this guy suddenly..."I was just about to think about the changes in Qing Huan, but obviously the current Qing Huan would not give him this time to think.
The most time-saving way to attack with your back to the enemy is to attack with your back!
Gu Qinghuan immediately raised his heels, his toes stuck to the ground, and in a posture of leaning back and half down, he directly swung the moon and attacked Tiancheng.
"..."Ye Tiancheng finally couldn't help but roar in his heart, damn, why is this guy crazier than himself, are all the women now humanoid tyrannosaurus?
With every move and style, Gu Qinghuan's knife slashed at speed from nine different directions, which had already made Ye Tiancheng unable to keep up with the rhythm of his attacks, and his hands and body were cut in many places, while Qinghuan still maintained that strange state of dynamic equilibrium, but there were signs of speeding up the attack speed.
The focus of one side is the tip of the moving step in the continuous backwards, and the focus of one side is the sword body of the moon that is slashed against Ye Tiancheng every time, and each time the slash adjusts its own center of gravity while driving the borrowing of the next round of attacks, the flaws in the group battle are huge, but the heads-up makes people helpless at all, the move is fatal, if you don't pick it up, if you can't take it, you will die!
However, the attack was not over yet, one blow increased the intensity of Ye Tiancheng out of his attack range, Qinghuan stabbed the ground with the Wei Yue, only with the support of the Wei Yue on his right hand, the bottom of the foot, the whole body jumped, when the center of gravity and the sword body were in a vertical line during the flip process, the left hand also grabbed the Wei Yue and used the power of the waist twist to push the knife forward with both hands, and drew a full circle trajectory in the air, and split the head towards Ye Tiancheng, reverse, back to the dragon and the moon!
Ye Tiancheng's hands no longer have the power to make a hard connection, but since it is a chopping, it has no effect on him with or without a hard connection with both hands!
At the same time as Qinghuan attacked, he threw the chopping knife with his hands that had received almost no strength, and he directly bent down and used his back to catch the flat horizontal chopping knife, and at the same time carried the back of the chopping knife and slammed the blade of Qinghuan's chopping knife together.
With the block of the chopping knife, Tiancheng's back was not injured, but he turned over and kicked Qinghuan backwards with the downward force of Qinghuan's chopping, Qinghuan did not retract, the hand holding the knife received Tiancheng's kick, and his left hand grabbed the wrist of his right hand, and he barely stabilized Weiyue, who was almost kicked out.
He simply held the knife hand and punched Tiancheng's sole fiercely, using this power to flip back in the air to widen the distance, and then his left hand supported the ground, his right leg was half-bent, and his right hand held the knife horizontally, landing smoothly, and then slowly stood up, turned to Tiancheng, and smiled weirdly, "It seems that you dodged." ”
"Well... It's so exciting..."Su Jiuxia, like the audience, didn't dare to make too much noise at this time, for fear of destroying the almost frozen atmosphere on the field.
This kind of atmosphere, how dignified and how exciting it is, how much I want to... Everyone yearns for it, the aggressive gene has been hidden in the deepest part of human beings, although it is suppressed by social ethics, but unless the human race is collectively purified and changed, otherwise this characteristic will not change.
"What are you thinking?" All the audience were watching with bated breath, but when they turned their heads, Su Jiuxia found that this guy actually looked thoughtful, what was this strange mind thinking?
"I'm just wondering, will the electron cloud also want to attack like this, the next place to appear is actually caused by the last borrowing force, but there is a limiting force, so that it can only jump in this range, if the limiting force is the gravitational force of the core, then is it necessary to take into account the environmental variables and energy gain...... It seems to work, yes, just like the operation of radium!" Ji suddenly snapped his fingers as if he remembered something, "Maybe it will work to apply the effect to the weapon, Qinghuan's black rose is still in Qilan's office, right?"
It keeps glowing and radiating heat, emitting rays, and at the moment it appears, it is itself and not itself... Searing... Light-sensitive... Conductivity, yes, the key point of quantum mechanics is the borrowing force of its struggle to escape... I hope this hypothesis that I guessed for a while is not wrong.
"Hmm... In... It's not that the gun has been transformed by Mo Cheng..."Looking at the set that should have run away after receiving an affirmative answer, Su Jiuxia's heart was blank, "Damn, this is completely the people of the two planets talking about it, okay!" Shaking his head speechlessly, he returned his gaze to the arena.
"I am the messenger of love, how can I be defeated here?" Although Ye Tiancheng was still smiling easily, he secretly stabilized his hands that were a little numb, and it was obvious that his sword skills were not as good as the other party.
However, even if he was cut with at least two dozen wounds all over his body, and he almost lost, he could clearly sense that his blood was beginning to boil!
That's why it's the kind of people who have the charm of conquest!
"Oh, were you just talking about 'love'?" a wicked smile appeared in Qinghuan, and he slowly walked not far away to pick up the scabbard of the moon and insert it back in.
"What, do you finally agree with me?" Ye Tiancheng smiled and set up a stabbing posture, it is indeed difficult for ordinary people to use the stabbing technique to deal with the knife drawing technique, but since he can't draw the knife, then he will definitely have the move to restrain the knife drawing!
"Bell!"
With the metal sparks that burst out, Ye Tiancheng's thrusting blade was seized by Qing Huan and passed sideways, and directly split it in half from the middle with the advantage of drawing the knife and sweeping, and the cutting edge of the broken knife was smooth, as if it was directly disconnected from the water flow of the two places, although the gap corresponded, but it could no longer be put together.
"This..."Ye Tiancheng's surprise naturally doesn't need to be said, you must know that he can accept it just because of the failure, but why can he still feel the other party's hand at the same time as the knife is broken, this... It made him, who originally thought that his swordsmanship attainments were rarely equal, let alone surpassed, and he felt quite touched.
"Surprised? Believe it or not, the leader of your kendo club can't even beat this ordinary junior high school student? You can only bully the novice in the second year of high school. Qinghuan smiled subtly and pointed at Su Jiuxia behind him.
"Ahh
"What's the opening..."Ye Conggang, who was originally watching from the sidelines, retorted.
"Ye Cong, you go, try. Ye Tiancheng's words made Ye Cong stunned, let him try, didn't Brother Cheng already believe that he would win 100%? Isn't he just an ordinary senior high school student?
"Xue Tong, what are you doing?" Qing Huan, who had regained control, asked secretly, this sentence just now was not what he wanted to say, but Xiao Xue Tong's inexplicable battle letter to Ye Tiancheng in his own name.
"Actually... I'm talking about the first wind and childish feathers. Xiao Xuetong smiled as a conspirator, and at the same time let out a regretful sigh, "It turned out to be all of them wrong." ”
"You guy... Never mind. Gu Qinghuan straightened his mood, turned around and shouted to Jiuxia, "Come down and try, it's okay." ”
"It's... All right. Although Su Jiuxia has gone through so much training, he really doesn't know what his current strength is, so he doesn't have the courage to jump directly from three meters, he still walks the passage honestly.
"I'll leave it to you. As a condition for victory, he took away Tiancheng's Wei Yue, and raised his left hand towards Su Jiuxia.
"Well, as much as possible. Su Jiuxia and Ye Cong, who picked up the wooden knife, stood in the center of the arena again, and Ye Tiancheng also stood by the opposite wall with a cautious face at this moment, as for whether what he was thinking in his mind was consistent with his expression, it was estimated that only Ye Cong knew, but now his attention was all on Su Jiuxia.
"Let's get started. The two saluted the sword, Ye Cong once again preemptively launched the offensive, the duel between Ye Tiancheng and Gu Qinghuan just now had ignited his soul of truly pursuing swordsmanship, and he was ready to try the swordsmanship he had just understood when copying!
So as soon as he started, he took the high-speed stabbing technique that Ye Tiancheng had at the end and went straight to Su Jiuxia.
"On the left... No, right!" Su Jiuxia no longer relied on his vision, but relied on his instinctive reaction to turn his right body and push forward with a vertical knife grid, and knocked Ye Cong's wooden knife to the ground with an oblique slash to the ground to the surprise of the two of them at the same time.
"Huh? I don't think I'm very good at it. However, Ye Cong reacted quickly, and he generously expressed his friendliness, "I will practice again, please advise me next time." ”
"Hmm... Oh..."Su Jiuxia, who still didn't react, how could he be like this... Won? That's too fast, isn't it?
"Your apprentice has become quite powerful, too. Xiao Xuetong, who had been detached from Qinghuan's consciousness on the side, looked at Su Jiuxia, who was still surprised by her victory on the field, and chuckled.
"But I'm still weak. "Yes, the apprentice has become stronger, but he doesn't seem to have made much progress as a master, and he sighed lightly.
"Don't worry, with me by your side, no matter who it is, I will kill him for you. Hugging Qinghuan from behind, Xue Tong had a coquettish tone, but her eyes inadvertently drifted to Su Jiuxia.
"Calm down, this isn't. Qing Huan, who was very familiar with Xiao Xuetong's personality, responded silently, saying that Xuetong is what, she is not so sick.
"Okay, I was wrong, how about you go and express Master's praise. Xue Tong rubbed Qinghuan's back with a pitiful look and said coquettishly, and then pushed him.
Because Xue Tong's consciousness can have an impact on the body, being so messed up by Xue Tong, Qinghuan lost his mind, his body was uncontrollable, and his feet were broken, so he fell directly in the process of walking on stage...
"Flat... Fall, this guy, is it natural?" Ye Tiancheng was stunned on the stage, is this still the swordsmanship master who was sharp and chic when he fought with him, and cut him off with one sword? The one who fell there and looked at Su Jiuxia with a resentful face was completely a coquettish little girl!
In fact, what Qing Huan was looking at at at the moment was Xiao Xuetong, who was smiling and looking at him embarrassed, causing him to fall, but no one else could see it, so it was naturally regarded as watching Jiuxia.
And the audience... Please forgive the audience whose brains have not yet reacted to this contrast.
"Master... You..."Feeling everyone's strange gaze, Su Jiuxia looked back curiously, and happened to bump into Qing Huan's resentful gaze, of course, he couldn't see Xiao Xuetong, so... , Lao Tzu is a straight man, Master, what are you going to make trouble?
But so many people watched, and they were embarrassed to leave the master there, so they hurriedly threw down the wooden knife and ran over to help him up.
"Master, falling back on the ground in public has attracted attention. Su Jiuxia was a little speechless, but the current light joy was more like the carefree state he saw and didn't bother to think about anything.
"What a flat fall... This... Forward pounce... Can it be regarded as a fall?" Qing Huan retorted embarrassedly, falling flat in this kind of place, he couldn't retain any dignity value.
Gu Qinghuan's voice was not loud, but in this venue where the audience was still holding their breath, it clearly reached the ears of everyone present, this time it was not Su Jiuxia who was speechless, you said that you fell on the ground and were already very cute, how could you be so arrogant?
"It's a little inexplicably familiar... Brother Yiji, you are arrogant. Su Jiuxia also suddenly had the evil idea of wanting to bully Qinghuan, so he couldn't help but say.
", tsundere or something, it's definitely not! the most annoying!" The soft roaring retort finally succeeded again... Detonated the audience!
"Sister Linxuan, well done. Su Jiuxia forcibly held back a smile, and retorted Don't use this kind of sentence that is so obvious that no one will believe it, okay, Master, what did Sister Linxuan teach you?
"Bastard, help me down, I'm going to settle accounts with Lin Xuan. Because of his broken foot, Qinghuan had no choice but to let Jiuxia walk to the sidelines step by step in a gaze that was about to reach the point of air.
"There are a lot of fire mages from the FFF group here... I'm innocent, so cute that you still believe that he will be a girl..."
"Wen Neng arrogantly fell to the ground, Wu Neng turned the tide with a sword, this is simply a home trip, the more murderous ... No, this is simply the perfect girlfriend I've been looking for!" Ye Tiancheng, who was stunned, looked at Su Jiuxia again, he suddenly had a sense of helplessness and melancholy of "pulling out the mountain and covering the world, and the times are not good", Su Jiuxia, I will not admit defeat!
"Brother Cheng?" Ye Cong's voice brought Tiancheng back to his senses.
"Huh?"
"Are you alright?"
"No... Well, no. ”
......
