Chapter 17 Tournaments
"Your knowledge training at this stage is coming to an end. "Kovo suffered on the thirteenth day announced. Another instructor, Ling Feng, walked into the room, followed by a large box suspended by magic. It is filled with all kinds of wooden sticks, all of which are of different lengths and sizes, and almost all of the regular weapons of the Demon Race can find their corresponding models in them.
"Choose a model stick that most closely resembles the weapon you are best at. As Ling Feng surrounded the students with their gear, Kovo explained. When Ling Feng walked to He Xi's side, the latter's eyes immediately rested on a pair of practice sticks, the two slightly curved sticks were not too outrageous compared to the weapons he was carrying. He Xi picked them up and tried to swing them, but their weight was still qualitatively different from the two scimitars he had used for his own purpose.
"For the glory of your Shadow Mist City!" Ling Feng said deliberately in a low voice, and then continued to show the model to the other students as if nothing had happened.
He Xi brandished the pair of model sticks again. Thinking to himself, it was time to test Junmo's training results for him.
"Your competition has to be a bit disciplined, because this is the first jousting you've ever had. Remember, no matter what the means, there can only be one champion!" Corvo said to the students.
The teachers led the students out of the classroom and into a wide cave at the back of the Academy, where they were undoubtedly the arena for their martial arts. Sharp stalactites drip water from the roof of the cave, and stalagmites on the ground make the place even more dangerous.
"Then I'll count to a hundred, and when I'm done, the game will officially start. As I said earlier, there can only be one champion without any means, and those who are defeated are out. The teachers will be watching you from above, and you'd better show your best at the moment and don't let the teachers down!" said Corvo from a high vantage point. The special structure of the cave ** makes the sound of Corvo reach the ears of every student without any effort.
As Corvo began to count, a group of students scrambled to get started, some pausing to take in the terrain around them, others alone or in groups rushing into the dimly lit cavernous tunnels.
He Xi decided to find a narrow tunnel first to ensure that he could fight the enemy one-on-one. While he was looking for such a spot, he suddenly felt someone chasing him from behind. He Xi turned around, and the weapon in his hand swept behind him with a swift wind.
"Hop...... Cooperation?" Juventus said with a little horror, because he didn't expect He Xi's reaction to be so fast.
Seeing Yu Wen, He Xi withdrew his weapon, not knowing the level of cultivation of his classmates, and at the same time he was very confused about such a competition.
"Everyone else started to form teams, some even in groups of three. I know you're strong, but at least for now, you're not strong enough to deal with all of our classmates, even if it's a wheel battle, your magic won't be able to hold it. Seeing that He Xi did not react, Juventus added again.
"But the teacher said that there can only be one champion. He Xi said.
"Your family is in the top ten, and I'm not, I just want a good ranking. When we defeat the other opponents first, everything will be easy to say, what do you think? Juve said with a smile.
"Deal. He Xi nodded.
In fact, Juventus's statement is also very reasonable, no matter how strong He Xi is, with his current strength, it is impossible to fight against the students of the entire class, even a dozen people may not be able to do it, because the magic consumption cannot keep up. And Kovo had already counted to eighty, and He Xi didn't have time to think about it carefully, so he agreed to Juventus's statement, and the two walked into the tunnel together.
The whole cave is covered with all kinds of tunnels, and more than a dozen teachers have flown to the top of the cave, although it is a rock, but the unique heat of the demon clan captures vision, plus magic to distinguish it, not only can they see the real-time status of each student, but also distinguish the identity of the student.
Just as Kovo's words had fallen to a hundred, the sounds of battle could be heard almost everywhere in the cavern, the sound of the cave rock rolling down, the sound of magical explosions, and the wails of being attacked. The quiet cave is as lively as a theater at this time.
Juve began to move forward, but He Xi stopped him and let him lean behind him.
"Let them come to us, let them fight first. Patience is a skill that a good hunter should have. He Xi said in a low voice.
Juventus breathed a sigh of relief, believing that their decision to choose He Xi was too correct.
Their patience was not tested too much, and it was not long before a tall, muscular student burst into their defensive position, holding a wooden stick in the shape of a long hair, and slammed into them. This blow may seem simple and rude, but it is extremely precise and ferocious. In this narrow tunnel, it's not so easy to jump out of the tunnel.
However, for He Xi, this is just an old-fashioned attack move that is so basic that it can no longer be basic. He could hardly believe it, he just dodged sideways, and after dodging the attack of the long stick, the double stick in his hand struck the big man's arm, and the opponent's weapon was taken off, and then fell to the ground with a snap. Then, He Xi didn't miss any opportunity and hit him on the neck with a stick.
The soft blue light poured through the stone wall of the tunnel on the startled trio, and Juventus and He Xi looked up at the same time to see the teacher standing on the top.
"You're defeated, come out. The teacher said to the tall student. The student glared at He Xi and the others fiercely, and then exited the tunnel.
"Let's go, there aren't many people left at the moment, everyone will know where we are now, we need to find a better place to defend. After He Xi finished speaking, he directly pulled up Juventus and walked up.
Yu Wen paused for a moment, recalling the picture when He Xi easily solved that classmate just now, and he once again felt that he was too right in choosing He Xi as his teammate. However, there can only be one champion. Thinking of this, the expression on Juve's face began to change slightly.
After working with Juventus and beating several classmates in a row, they ended up resting in a slightly larger place because Juventus was a little weak. However, before they could sit on their buttocks, a classmate with a wooden sword with purple skin appeared in front of them.
"The death of the Rakshasa clan..."Juventus behind He Xi almost trembled and spoke.
There were too many words, and when they saw He Xi, they appeared on their side without saying a word, and stabbed Juventus directly with a sword.
"It seems that this guy wants to get rid of He Xi's companion and then fight with He Xi one-on-one. An interesting young man, worthy of being a nobleman of the Rakshasa clan. Ling Feng said to Corvo from a high place.
"Don't think about it, your opponent is me. Come on!"
As soon as the words fell, one of He Xi's weapons reached the front of Juve's shoulder one step ahead of the weapon of the Death, and forcibly blocked the attack of the Death, but at the same time it was broken into two.
He Xi noticed the look on the other party's face, and he knew that this would be an extremely difficult opponent. Then their figures flashed at the same time, and in a staggered moment, they instantly switched positions with each other, and there was a tear in the clothes on both sides, which surprised Juventus on the side.
Just when He Xi was vigilantly preparing to meet the other party's next move, Li Yan threw away his weapon and said something that made He Xi and the teachers present confused.
"I'm out. ”
"This guy has the courage, but I'm more curious about what he's thinking. Ling Feng muttered.
"Hey, what do you mean......!
Before He Xi finished speaking, he suddenly felt that someone was hit hard in the back of the head, and his legs were weak, so he fell down directly, and before he could get up, Corvo announced that he was out, and then he saw Juventus swaggering away from him.
"Idiot. Ling Feng folded his hands in front of his chest, looked at He Xi and shook his head.
He Xi's face was pressed against the cold ground, and at this time he suddenly remembered what Jun Mo had said to him. "In the Demon Realm, even if you regard everyone as an enemy, don't trust anyone easily. ”
In this way, He Xi spent another year in boring study and cultivation. However, Lady Luck seems to have brought justice to He Xi in a certain sense, because he happened to meet last year's partner in this year's martial arts competition. This time, He Xi didn't believe any of his nonsense anymore, and he didn't waste a little time, knocking him out with a single hit.
After almost all of them were knocked out. Now, this is the arena that belongs to He Xi and Li. He Xi walked to an open place in the cave and shouted, "Come out, classmate Liyan, let's have a good fight, no one can disturb us!"
"He's the same as last year, he's voluntarily giving up the duel, congratulations, you've won the championship of this competition!" Kovo yelled at He Xi, the expression on his face even a little stifled.
"What are you doing, I'm a demon, not a plague god, every time you see me, I won't fight, what do you mean!" He Xi shouted in place with some rage.
However, he ignored the former, just smiled and walked out of the cave.
