The next day, Lin Xia and Antonio arrived at the palace on time, and Lin Xia entered the rest hall of the martial arts arena.

The lounge was empty today, only the people who made it to the quarterfinals, except for Lister, who had already arrived, and the others were either not here today or were in the stands because they had been eliminated.

When Willy and Bradley saw Lin Xia coming in, they just glanced at it, and their expressions changed slightly.

As soon as Wright saw Lin Xia, he immediately came over and said, "Yesterday, because of you, I was beaten by the old bastard again?"

"What does it have to do with me when you get beaten?" Lin Xia felt a little inexplicable.

"After leaving the palace yesterday, I was going to ask you for a drink, but who knew that you ran away first. Wright said.

"Count Ferdinand won't let you drink?" said Lin Xiaqi.

"No, I didn't find you yesterday and scolded the bastard, only to be heard by the old bastard, who thought I was scolding him. Wright looked indignant, and continued: "I am also beaten for you, you have to ask me to drink to compensate me." ”

"Haha, you can't blame me for being cheap. You call me a bastard, I haven't settled accounts with you yet. Lin Xia smiled and said, "But it's no problem to invite you to drink." ”

"Then it's decided, if you run away again today, I'll go to the Viscount's Mansion to find you. Wright said.

At this moment Rist walked in, still white and expressionless, with his sword in his hand. Lin Xia felt a cool breath when he came in with Lister, and he didn't know if it was because of Lister's frost attribute fighting qi.

With the arrival of Rist, referee Reiser also entered the lounge and said: "Now the draw will begin, and those who have the same number will be drawn as a group, and they will play in order according to the number." ”

Everyone took turns to draw lots, Lin Xia drew the number one, looked at the others, and the second-level martial artist who won the second victory yesterday also took the number one in his hand, and it seemed that he was in a group with him.

Razor exclaimed, "Now get ready to play." Everyone followed Razor into the arena.

After Lin Xia entered the martial arts arena, he looked in the direction of the stands, the emperor and the ministers were already seated, and the number of aristocratic spectators on the periphery was obviously a lot more than yesterday, and sure enough, most of the people who were eliminated yesterday came to see today's final competition.

Viscount Antonio still sat in the last tenth position, but his expression today was obviously more confident than yesterday, and the ministers thought that Antonio had played a role in Lin Xia's promotion, and only Antonio himself knew that he was proud of his son.

Lin Xia and the second-level martial artist stepped into the ring, and Lei Ze said, "I won't repeat the rules, let's start now." ”

The second-level martial artist was very calm, and after saluting Lin Xia, he directly rushed towards Lin Xia with a brisk step, and the two fought together.

Lin Xia usually only practiced with Sean, but Sean didn't dare to shoot too hard at Lin Xia, it was not so much sparring as Sean feeding Lin Xia.

Therefore, Lin Xia cherished the experience of this ring competition, although he was one level higher than the second-level martial artists, he still focused on defense, and he wanted to see how the martial artists in the Charlemagne Continent were against the enemy.

After dozens of moves back and forth, the second-level martial artist suddenly stopped, took three steps back, and said, "Lin Xia, I know that my strength is not as good as yours, but you are keeping your hand like this now, maybe it is a respect for my father, but it is the biggest insult to me." ”

Hearing the words of this second-level martial artist, Lin Xia looked confused and said, "I mainly want to test your path, it is not a mercy on my subordinates, and I don't know who your father is." ”

The second-level martial artist's face flushed, seeing that Lin Xia's expression didn't look like a lie, and said, "Then please continue." ”

Lin Xia nodded, since you want to end it quickly, then don't delay, and said, "Then you should be careful." As soon as the words fell, a roundabout kick kicked the second-level martial artist in the chest.

The roundhouse kick was a particularly favorite action of Lin Xia in his previous life, but because he had not learned martial arts and sanda in his previous life, he could not kick the effect at all. But in this life, because of his martial arts, he can perfectly kick out the roundhouse kick.

The second-level martial artist reacted quickly, covering his chest with his arms, but unfortunately Lin Xia's kick was not explosive, it was not so much a kick as a push with his feet, but the force of this push was very great, and the second-level martial artist involuntarily kept retreating, and soon retreated to the edge of the ring.

Lin Xia quickly followed, taking advantage of the unstable foothold of the second-level martial artist, he pushed forward with both palms and directly pushed the second-level martial artist out of the ring.

Today's second-level martial artist was very polite to Lin Xia, not yesterday's Sam, so Lin Xia adopted a soft way to achieve victory.

Referee Lei Ze said loudly: "Lin Xia wins this game." ”

Emperor Charlie, who was in the stands, was very happy to see Lin Xia win another game, and said: "Lin Xia is worthy of being the descendant of King Lionheart, thanks to the order to add Lin Xia to the list of proofreading, otherwise the empire would not have lost a talent." ”

The military generals and ministers below all chimed in: "Your Majesty is wise. ”

Most of the military generals are martial arts masters, Lin Xia's last game ended too quickly, and he felt that Lin Xia might have three levels, but today's competition, through Lin Xia's defense in the early stage, and the final attack, confirmed that Lin Xia was indeed three levels. I couldn't help but look at Antonio.

Antonio was still sitting steadily, he nodded in greeting to the arrival of the military, and the military generals also felt the change in Antonio's expression. If Antonio was watched by so many people in the past, he would inevitably bow his head, showing his inferiority.

Count Ferdinand said in his heart: "It seems that Lin Xia has no actual combat experience, and deliberately delayed time to prepare for the later competition, this kid is very smart." "As a brain-dead fan of Tang, Ferdinand is genuinely happy for Lin Xia.

After Lin Xia stepped down, the second-level martial artist found Lin Xia and said, "Lin Xia, I'm Steve, thank you for preserving your dignity for me." ”

"You don't have to thank me, although I did focus on defense at the beginning of the competition, I don't think there is anything insulting to you?" Lin Xia asked.

"Nothing. I guess I misunderstood. Steve said.

"Steve, you're a man, why are you still so fragile psychologically. Wright said. Wright had come to congratulate Lin Xia, and couldn't help but say when he heard the conversation between the two.

Steve blushed and said, "I'll go to the stage first, Lin Xia, I wish you good results." After speaking, he walked out of the martial arts arena, led by a court attendant to the stands.

"Don't you know Steve?" Wright asked.

Lin Xia looked at Wright like a fool and said, "I already said yesterday that I don't know anyone here." ”

"Steve is pathetic. Wright ignored Lin Xia's ridicule and continued, "His father is a hero. ”

Wright told Lin Xia about Steve's background.

Three years ago, the steppe people launched an invasion of the empire without warning, and due to the suddenness of the war, the military did not receive any news and did not make any preparations.

The Fourth Army has been stationed on the border between the empire and the steppe people for a long time, mainly to resist the invasion of the steppe people, and Steve's father is a general of the Fourth Army, stationed in Haisong Town, the front line of the border, and his main responsibility is to monitor the movements of the steppe people and play an early warning role.

When Steve's father found out about the steppe invasion, he immediately burned wolf smoke to deliver the news, but it took a large force of the Fourth Army to reach the town of Haisong after a full seven days.

In these seven days, Steve's father relied on his own 3,000 infantry, relied on the low walls of the town to resist the 50,000 cavalry of the steppes, and resisted for seven days, you can imagine how difficult it was.

The town of Haisong is the outermost town of the empire, and there are not many inhabitants in the town, mainly merchants who come and go between the empire and the grasslands.

No one knows how Steve's father persevered for the past seven days, and when the Fourth Army arrived, Steve's father was left with only one arm, still standing on the walls of the town, holding the Imperial flag.

The Fourth Army went up to the walls to take Steve's father back to the town to rest, only to find that he was long out of breath. Steve's father's soldiers were almost wiped out. Only a few dozen people survived, and all of them were seriously injured and even mentally insane, and every time they asked them what had happened in the past seven days, they would tremble and speak incoherently.

After the war, the Emperor made an exception to grant Steve the title of Baron, but Steve's father had died, and Steve inherited the title of Baron at last year's bar mire.

Because Steve's father is a hero, and there is only one child Steve, the bigwigs in the military department take good care of him, and it was originally good to take care of Steve, but because of excessive care, Steve's nerves are extremely sensitive and psychologically fragile.

After listening to Steve's background, Lin Xia also felt admiration for Steve's father, who was a real hero and worthy of anyone's admiration.

"Isn't the Fourth Army stationed at the border, how did it take seven days to arrive?" Lin Xia found the question and asked.

"The devil knows why. Wright said indignantly: "The reply from the commander of the Fourth Army to the military headquarters was that the incident was sudden, and it took a long time to prepare food, grass and ordnance, so it took seven days, but the ghost only believed them. ”

"You don't believe it, do those bigwigs in the military believe it?" Lin Xia asked.

"Those people in the military must not believe it, but there is no way, the Fourth Army has been stationed on the border for many years, and it is difficult for the military department to control it, and the commander of the Fourth Army has been in charge of the Fourth Army for ten years, do you know what the concept of ten years is, it is enough to turn the Fourth Army into his private army. Wright said.

"Is it just to let the Fourth Army break out of the military's control like it is now?" Lin Xia asked.

"There is no way, unless you start a war, but although the empire is now strong on the surface, it is extremely difficult to start an internal war. Wright said.

"You know a lot about the military affairs of the Empire?" Lin Xia asked.

"I've been in the army with old bastards for years, and I'll always know something. Wright said.

At this time, Willy's competition has ended, his opponent is the first-level martial artist who won the first group yesterday, after the two came on the field, Willy relied on himself to be one level higher than his opponent, and after receiving a punch from the opponent in the chest, he took advantage of the gap to knock the opponent down.

After Willy got off the field, he walked up to Lin Xia and said, "I only used one trick too." ”

"I just want to ask, do you have chest pain?" Lin Xia teased.

"The next one will tell you that it's amazing. Willy said this and left, rubbing his chest with his back to Lin Xiashi, it really hurt.
