Chapter 5: The Power of the Thrust
Dongfang Xiao smiled awkwardly and jumped out of the ring, what happened just now really had some unexpected elements, and it was not deliberate on his part.
And the rest of the game went well. Soon the candidates for the top four were completely determined, and before the start of the game between the top four, there was a period of rest, and Dongfang Xiao also took advantage of this break to look at the other three players, hoping to find some information in his favor.
Among the three opponents are two men and one woman. One of the strongest of them was a man named Dongfang Ye, who was not the descendant of an elder of the clan, but just the child of an ordinary clan. But this child's talent is quite good, and he broke through to the middle level of the spirit at a young age, and the top four in this competition also proved that his strength is indeed not weak.
The other man is a handsome young man named "Dongfang Yu", speaking of which, he is also the grandson of the Great Elder, but Dongfang Jun, who fought with Fang Cai and Dongfang Xiao, is not his own brother. Dongfang Jun should also call him "cousin". Unlike Dongfang Jun, this Dongfang Yu treats people very friendly, and many of his clansmen have a very good relationship with him, whether it is in terms of strength or personality, they are much better than his cousin.
And the last woman in a white dress is the most mysterious existence in this competition. As for her understanding, Dongfang Xiao only stayed at some discussions between the clansmen. It is said that Dongfang Xue's father was a young man who was highly anticipated by the clan, but for some reason he refused the family marriage and married an ordinary woman. For this matter, the family was also quite angry, and the clansman was also stubborn, so he left the family and chose to stay with the woman. But the world is unpredictable, in an accident, Dongfang Xue's mother died, and her father was also seriously injured, and her father's last wish before his death was to let Dongfang Xue return to the Dongfang family again. The clan was originally quite opposed to this matter, but later it seemed that for some reason, Dongfang Xue actually agreed to return to the family. And her strength, according to speculation, will definitely not be low, at least so far, Dongfang Xiao has not seen her fight with all her strength.
The Dongfang family's allocation of resources for the cultivation of the clansmen is based on talent and strength. People with good talent and strong strength will naturally be able to get more resources, and the annual clan comparison is also an inspection of the younger generation in the clan, if they are not able to obtain the strength and talent recognized by the clan, even with the right of the patriarch, they will not be able to give much help. Therefore, every year in the competition, all the younger generation do their best, hoping to get a higher evaluation. Although this method of resource allocation may seem a bit unkind, it has to be said that it is very effective.
After a short break, the game restarted, and this time Dongfang Xiao's opponent was the boy named Dongfang Yu.
In the ring, Dongfang Yu smiled, arched his hand to Dongfang Xiao and said: "What Dongfang Jun did is really a bit excessive, and I hope you can include more, and I will apologize to you for him here." ”
Dongfang Xiao shook his head and said: "Brother Yu doesn't have to mind, you are you, he is him, and he is not an unreasonable person, if he has a guilty heart, the relationship between us will naturally gradually ease, if he is still the same, even if Brother Yu apologizes for him, what can he do?" ”
Dongfang Yu sighed, he also knew that what Dongfang Xiao said was right, so he no longer dwelled on it, and said again: "I just saw Brother Xiao's move, I must have reached the point of reaching the middle level of the spirit priest, then I won't be merciful, be careful!" ”
Dongfang Xiao nodded, he also had some interest in Dongfang Yu's strength. Dongfang Yu also nodded, pulled out the long sword on his waist, and the red light gradually dyed the blade red, this Dongfang Jade cultivates the spiritual power of the fire attribute, in comparison, the offensive power of the fire attribute spiritual power is stronger, but it is also worse in terms of sustainability. Dongfang Xiao also pulled out his rusty katana, ready to meet the opponent in front of him.
"Good knives!" Dongfang Yu sighed in admiration, he could see that the faint blue light on the body of the knife was not because it was infused with spiritual power, and it had to be said that although the grade of this rusty katana was not very dripping, it could still bluff many onlookers who did not know the truth.
"Flame Slash!" Dongfang Yu struck first, waved the long sword in his hand, and slashed towards Dongfang Xiao with a scorching aura.
"Pick up!" , Dongfang Xiao didn't have the slightest fluster, the rusty katana with light cyan spiritual power, suddenly sent a counterattack towards Dongfang Yu. "Dangchang!" The sound of metal colliding came, and the attack of the two did not cause any damage to the other party. The two of them took two steps back, and when Dongfang Yu struck unsuccessfully, he suddenly changed his move, turning a vertical split into a sweep, and the long sword once again attacked Dongfang Xiaozhou with a more scorching aura.
"Block!" Dongfang Xiao blocked the katana in front of him, and the pale cyan spiritual power flowed out from his body, as if he was ready to take the blow. "Bang!" Dongfang Xiao didn't move, he took the blow stiffly, and his body didn't seem to be affected in any way because of his resistance to this attack.
"What a quick response! What a subtle move! Dongfang Yu sighed secretly, the two attacks were unsuccessful, Dongfang Yu just retreated, but Dongfang Xiao didn't seem to intend to let Dongfang Yu leave like this. Brother Yu, it's time for you to eat my trick too! "Even the Spike!" Dongfang Xiao shouted, and the katana in his hand stabbed like lightning towards Dongfang Yu, who wanted to retreat.
"Not good!" Dongfang Yu secretly screamed in his heart, and the long sword in his hand hurriedly shifted, trying to block Dongfang Xiao's attack.
"Bell!"
"What a lot of strength!" Dongfang Yu's hands were already a little numb by Dongfang Xiao's move, and he took several steps back, and even the long sword in his hand was a little unstable. "It's not over yet!" Dongfang Xiao's attack did not end as Dongfang Yu expected, Dongfang Xiao's stab failed, and as soon as the katana was retracted, it was attacked again, and the power contained in the knife was exactly the same as the first attack, or even two points stronger.
With the sound of gold and iron intersecting, the long sword in Dongfang Yu's hand actually came out of his hand, and Dongfang Yu also took a few steps back and sat on the ground. Dongfang Xiao put away the katana, stretched out his hand to pull up Dongfang Yu, and said with a smile: "Brother Yu, I think there is no need for us to fight." ”
Facing the warm smile of the young man in front of him, Dongfang Yu opened his mouth, but did not make any sound, and after a while, he said a little dejectedly: "I lost, congratulations to Brother Xiao." Dongfang Xiao smiled, for this young man who was a little older than himself, Dongfang Xiao also had a trace of friendship, so he stretched out his hand and said: "It's an honor to be able to meet Brother Yu today, but I don't know if Brother Yu is willing to make me a friend?" ”
Dongfang Yu was stunned, then he also smiled and said: "Of course, being able to be friends with Brother Xiao, even if you lose the game, this transaction is not a loss." ”
"Haha." The two looked at each other and smiled, and then said to the deacon who was in charge of refereeing, "Deacon, please announce the result." ”
"The result of the game, Dongfang Xiaosheng!"
Dongfang Xiao also had some joy in his heart, he didn't expect that he would break all the way here so smoothly, and the only thing he needed to face next was the finals.
"I wonder which of these two will win?" Dongfang Xiao looked at the remaining two curiously, maybe they would give themselves a different surprise.
