Chapter 668: Choice
Morning.
Apocalypse Academy Transcendent Training Hall, A Sword Room.
The flickering blade tore through the sunlight shining through the glass window, and in an instant, it turned into a series of phantoms, as if it was like a storm swaying towards Zuo Yi, fast, fierce, and turbulent!
Zuo Yi held his sword in his hand, and parried the dagger that stabbed him with incredible precision, no matter how sharp and tricky his opponent's attack was, it could not penetrate his defense.
The tip of the dagger slammed against the blade of the sword, and the sound of clanging continued.
The next moment, the figures that were spinning around Zuo Yi at high speed flew backwards, widening the distance between them.
Ellie Jie hung down her sore arms weakly, she gasped for breath, her eyes stared at Zuo Yi, her forehead was full of crystal sweat, and her short ponytail was dangling behind her.
There was stubbornness in her eyes that she did not admit defeat, although she knew that the gap with Zuo Yi was boundless, but she was still not very satisfied with her performance just now.
"Not bad. ”
Zuo Yi put away the long sword he used for practice and said with a smile: "There has been progress again." ”
Zuo Yi has honest beliefs, and of course he doesn't lie.
Alyselle had come to Hangzhou from Gaul and had been in the Academy of Apocalypse for a month.
In this month, she studied and trained very hard, and under Zuo Yi's careful teaching, her strength and combat effectiveness have improved significantly.
As the chosen one, she is talented enough to be the envy of anyone!
"But the teacher..."
In the past, the girl was always very happy to be praised by Zuo Yi, but this time she frowned and pouted: "I always feel that I am still a little bit behind, I can perform better, but always..."
What it is, Alyselle herself can't tell clearly, it's like feeling that her combat ability has not been brought to the extreme, even if she goes all out, she can't reach the peak state.
This feeling was not there before, but since she studied with Zuo Yi, she has become more and more aware of her own obstacles or bottlenecks, and she can't break them if she tries hard.
"You're bad..."
Zuo Yi handed her a clean towel and said meaningfully: "It's the experience of real fighting!"
Ellie's career path belongs to a ranger or an assassin in the world of Sadeya, and Gao Min's high-speed melee ability is first-class, and both rangers and assassins pay great attention to combat experience.
Assassins, in particular, wander between life and death, and every fight is an improvement, not only to improve their fighting skills, but also to sharpen their spirit and will.
This is something that cannot be obtained by daily training or sparring.
The same two assassins, the same rank, must be more experienced in combat.
Ellie's current rank is a double-C transcendent, and the double ascension of strengthening and soul will inevitably bring greater obstacles.
This obstacle needs to be broken through by herself.
Ellijie wiped her sweat with a towel and said suspiciously, "But I've fought in the ring many times." ”
She has PK with others many times in the inner tennis ring, and there are almost no opponents in the same rank, and she has also won many matches when she crosses the ranks.
The girl is quite proud of this!
"The inside net ring battle is called a game. ”
Zuo Yi smiled dumbly: "No matter how many times you fight, it can't replace the real battle." ”
Realistic combat with blood and death is the best way for combat professionals to stimulate their potential and break through bottlenecks.
Of course, it is also the most dangerous means.
However, the flowers in the greenhouse have not been baptized by wind, frost, snow and rain, they will always be fragile, and the young eagles in the nest will not dare to jump off the cliff, and they will never be able to spread their wings and fly to the sky!
As a knight, Zuo Yi doesn't know how many brutal battles he has gone through to achieve who he is today.
And in these battles, Zuo Yi didn't know how many life and death crises he encountered, and he survived again and again.
But he's not the only one.
None of the strong men in the Sadeya world succeeded by practicing penance behind closed doors.
Once the success is achieved, the bones of a top powerhouse will inevitably trample on the bones of countless competitors.
Ellie came to her senses: "You're asking me to kill?"
"It's about fighting evil enemies and challenging stronger ones. ”
Zuo Yi said seriously: "That will be a great danger, and you may die because of it." ”
The Fool of the Tarot Society regarded Alyselle as his daughter, and he trained and protected Alyselle well, but he still sent Alyselle to Zuo Yi without hesitation.
Zuo Yi guessed that the fool should be well aware of the responsibility that Alyselle was carrying, but he might not be able to make the decision to let Alyselle bear this responsibility, just as Zuo Yi could not put Bao'er in a dangerous situation.
It was undoubtedly a difficult choice for him to hand over Ellie Jie to Zuo Yi.
Now Zuo Yi gives Ellie two choices, either to live and grow up peacefully and step by step under his protection, or to meet the baptism of blood and fire and the challenges of life and death.
The latter was undoubtedly too cruel for a thirteen-year-old girl.
But Ellie Jie is no ordinary girl!
And no matter what choice Ellijie makes, Zuo Yi will not change his attitude towards her.
Ellie got it.
She raised her head, clenched the towel in her hand, and bravely met Zuo Yi's gaze: "Teacher, I choose to fight!"
"Good. Zuo Yi was not surprised, nodded and said, "Then I'll take you to battle." ”
Ellie's eyes lit up suddenly: "Thank you, teacher!"
When making the decision to fight, to say that she did not have the slightest fear or hesitation in her heart must be false.
Life is so beautiful, her life journey has just begun, and suddenly she has to face cruel tests, and her will is far from being strong enough to be fearless of life and death.
But if you follow Zuo Yi, then there is really no need to be afraid and worried.
Who in this world can be stronger than their own teacher?
"Don't be too happy..."
Zuo Yi poured a basin of cold water without hesitation: "Unless your opponent is too strong, I will not interfere in your battle." ”
"Even if you're going to die because of it. ”
If Zuo Yi makes a move, it will lose the meaning of the test, how can she really grow?
Ellijie immediately lowered her head: "Oh. ”
More or less aggrieved.
But she quickly raised her head again and said firmly, "Teacher, I won't let you down!"
"I'll see. ”
Zuo Yi's eyes softened: "Your recent performance has been very good, and the teacher will give you a prize." ”
Ellie was pleasantly surprised: "What prize?"
Zuo Yi waved his hand and took out a set of dark red leather armor from the spatial ring.
This is the fire dragon armor he custom-made for Ellie Jie with the belly skin of the fire dragon, which is divided into a four-piece set of breastplate, skirt armor, arm guards and leg guards, covering more than 300 dragon scales.
The outer skin of the dragon's abdomen is the most flexible, and the scales are the finest, and although the defense is not as good as other parts, it is most suitable for ranger assassin professionals.
Zuo Yi asked Ellie Jie to fight, not to send her to death, so a set of equipment that is enough to make up for her weakness is a must!
