Chapter 24: The Controversy of the Barbarian Kings (16)
The first round robin ended, and the second round of eliminations did not take place immediately on the second day.
After so many days of intense competition, it is very necessary for the players to rest for a day to recover from fatigue and adjust their state.
On the morning of September 16, the autumn weather was crisp, and the first knockout match was held in the ring in the center of the Dahewan sand field.
It was the Youxi tribe and the Wuxi tribe that participated in the competition, and according to convention, it was the main generals of both sides who went to the ring first.
Today's audience is very large, men, women and children near the Xiongxi tribe are here, and the battlefield is surrounded by black and oppressive crowds, I am afraid that there are tens of thousands of people, but fortunately, the field of the battlefield is large enough, but it is not crowded.
After the host announced the start, the competition was not as fierce as imagined, although the two confronted each other with weapons, they did not rush to make a move, but slowly turned away from the circle.
With enough kung fu to hold a cup of tea, their weapons are only far from comparing, not a single intersection, let alone a real attack.
Such a dull scene made the audience very disappointed, especially those who watched the excitement, booing everywhere to vent their dissatisfaction in their hearts!
I don't know if it was after the trial was completed or forced by the audience, the two of them occasionally made a move to attack, but the movements of both sides were a little deformed, and their hands and feet seemed a little stiff.
Those experienced elders could see that the psychological pressure of the two main generals was not small!
In the first stage of the round-robin, the players will not be eliminated because of a careless mistake, and the players can still let go of their hands and feet, and the competition will be more exciting and intense.
After entering the knockout round, the players have no chance to recover their mistakes, especially the main generals of both sides, forcing them to shoot cautiously, so far, there is no main general to win after defeat.
But blindly seeking stability, it is obvious that you can't win, and under the urging of the audience's boos, Yang Feng and Xiang Zhiqiang's attacks gradually increased, and the movements became beautiful and smooth.
It probably lasted for a meal, and both of them had already entered the state, no longer afraid, and returned to the majesty of the round-robin competition.
The two of them shot quickly, trying to show their proud moves, and they fought evenly for a while.
Time passed little by little, and the two had been fighting for hundreds of rounds, and fine beads of sweat appeared on the foreheads of both of them, and their breathing became heavy, obviously, their physical exertion was great.
But the two of them went back and forth, using those moves, and no one showed their tricks, which made the spectators very puzzled and a little impatient.
In martial arts, although the move refers to the move to defeat or kill the enemy, in fact, the move is not an isolated move.
The general trick is a combination of several moves, because although the previous move did not directly hit the opponent, it played the role of entanglement, attack, misdirection, etc., so that the opponent could not defend, so that the so-called "trick" could be issued.
The more powerful the move, the longer it takes to prepare, and the higher the requirements for it.
Xiang Zhiqiang's family knife technique, known as the king of swords, has a deep heritage, and there are naturally tricks!
But the more powerful the move, the higher the difficulty of the trick, and only after the whole set of knife techniques is cast, it is possible to build up momentum to send out a trick.
But if the moves are not in place and the expected effect cannot be achieved, the so-called "tricks" will not be issued.
Although Yang Feng's martial arts are not under Xiang Zhiqiang, because the family's background is not deep, the experience is slightly insufficient, especially this set of inherited martial arts, in fact, it was founded for a very short time and is not too perfect.
But it is precisely because Yang Jiajia is little known to outsiders, and Xiang Jia is known as the king of swords, and the knife method has always been the target of everyone, the so-called "punching does not know", Yang Feng has the upper hand.
As for the tricks, Yang Feng also has them, but the old chief of the Yang family is playing the idea of "thinking about defeat before winning", and the tricks are also mainly used for defense.
Although the two of them have their own tricks, they are unable to use them, so they can only compete for endurance there, and as time passes, the physical exertion of the two becomes greater and greater.
Although Xiang Zhiqiang's martial arts are on par with Yang Feng, he has more combat experience, so his victory is greater.
In the group stage, he took the initiative to admit defeat because he couldn't win, it seemed like nothing, but in fact, at that time, the cause and effect of his failure had been planted!
Because Yang Feng is young and vigorous, his momentum is the most important!
At that time, if Xiang Zhi held on and wore down Yang Feng's spirit, maybe the result would be that Yang Feng couldn't support it first.
No matter what you do, once you have the experience of failure, there will definitely be some shadows psychologically, especially in the competition, and the momentum will be weaker first.
Today's decision, as soon as Xiang Zhiqiang came up, he lost to Yang Feng in terms of momentum, although he couldn't see it in front of him, but the longer it passed, the greater the impact.
As time went on, Xiang Zhiqiang had found that he couldn't hold on a little anymore.
Xiang Zhiqiang also wanted to perform a trick, but because Yang Feng was careful to defend the door, he was not just defending and not attacking, and the momentum was like a rainbow, and the offensive was very fierce, so he had to withdraw his defense.
Xiang Zhiqiang's momentum is insufficient, there is no indomitable spirit, and he can't unfold the set of moves in front of him, without those necessary foreshadowing, even if Xiang Zhiqiang barely performs a trick, the power is greatly reduced!
Xiang Zhiqiang suffered from gains and losses in his heart, and he was afraid that he would not be able to help Yang Feng when the time came, but he would fall into the prestige of the Xiang family's sword technique, so he naturally did not dare to use it easily, which was equivalent to losing the opportunity to win.
If you want to compete in endurance, Yang Feng is really better than Xiang Zhiqiang! Because the Yang family's background is not deep and it is very low-key, the disciples of the family are not respected.
Although Xiang Zhiqiang is also a genius who cultivates hard, these big families with a long inheritance have some respectful and excellent children, and their physical strength and endurance are still quite inferior.
Xiang Zhiqiang didn't want to use his tricks at first, but later his physical strength declined because he couldn't perform them, and Yang Feng didn't have to use them because he didn't face danger.
In the end, Xiang Zhiqiang was physically exhausted and had to take the initiative to admit defeat again.
Although after the main general's defeat, the Youxi tribe has little hope of winning, but after all, it is a team competition, and the others have not completely given up.
Zhang Shan, who was the first to come out of the battle, used a dazzling set of fast knives to drag down the thunder tree who had to dance the double hammer defense.
Hu Tian, who appeared in the second appearance, and Lai Chun both used knives, it stands to reason that Hu Tian's environment for practicing knife techniques is very good, and under the influence of his ears and eyes, the knife skills should be above Lai Chun.
But Hu Tian's knife technique is a fierce way, while Lai Chun's embroidered spring knife technique is a typical light way, just restraining Hu Tian's moves, as soon as he goes up, he will have the upper hand, and there is no suspense in the end.
