Chapter 158: Competition
In the martial arts arena, the crisp sound of sword collision was endless. Ryne, who wanted to compete with Victor, was attacking Victor with all his strength at the moment, but because of the difference in rank, it looked like a sharp attack, but it had no effect at all, and the big sword that originally needed to be held with both hands was waved by Victor with one hand, which easily resolved Lyne's offensive, and with a sweep of his heart, he had to let Dawn be forced to return to defense. It's not so much a competition as a play, like a cat that catches a mouse.
"Hmph, that's too unscrupulous." Jusis frowned, "It's okay if it's just for advice, but I even want to ask for a competition." β
"Instructor Ike, is it really okay not to stop them?" Emma opened her mouth worriedly.
"Why stop?" Ike asked rhetorically, "Being able to fight a powerful opponent is a necessary awareness for a swordsman, and if you only want to cultivate on your own, you can't achieve a sword master." Even in the Eight Leaves One Sword Stream, which has the most sword saints, those who can hold this title are all step by step from countless battles, and if he doesn't break his idea now, he can only become an ordinary person in the end. And... A hint of annoyance flashed in Ike's eyes, "Retaining one's strength in the face of a powerful enemy is the greatest insult to a powerful swordsman." β
As soon as the words fell, Victor changed his playful fighting style, his eyes suddenly glowed like a sword, and he slashed at the oncoming Lane.
With just one blow, with the unique ultra-long attack and incomparably heavy power of the two-handed sword, it instantly slashed out with the Tai Dao in his hand, and if it wasn't deliberately slashed on the blade, with just this blow, the battle could be declared over.
"What are you doing?" Victor looked coldly at Lane who was sitting on the ground, as the strongest swordsman in the empire, his momentum at the moment was a little scary, "I haven't decided the winner yet, get up for me." I know, this is not the limit of your strength, or is it not enough for you to exert your full strength, even if you face me? β
"Father?"
"Don't go over." Expressionlessly stopping Laura who wanted to rush into the ring, Ike shook his head and signaled, "Don't worry, your father kept his hand, but it's really Lien's fault, if it were me, probably the victory would be over." β
βγγγ Still hesitating? Looking at Lane, who stood up without saying a word, Victor spoke, "I understand why your instructor is unwilling, but now, if there is still some 'fear', then I can only lure your strength out." With an indifferent expression, he raised his two-handed sword and slashed at Lane.
"Dawn !!"
Amid the screams of everyone, Li En's figure disappeared under the two-handed sword, and a sudden aura appeared in the martial arts arena.
"βso naΓ―ve." Before Victor could turn back, his two-handed sword had already turned around, and he slashed sideways to block Rien from behind. Deftly dodged several slashes and then stepped forward, forcing back the entangled Rien.
"Wow wow..."
"This, that's what Lane is afraid of...
In the midst of everyone's exclamations, the red-eyed and white-haired Li En stared at Victor's body and the big sword in his hand without saying a word at the moment, and the manic fighting spirit continued to be wanton from his body, as if he was crazy.
"That's right, that's what it sounds like." Victor nodded slightly, "That power sleeps deep in your heart, if you don't accept him, you can only stand still forever." β
"Oo!!oo
Roaring and attacking again, Li En, because of the fact that he became this body, both agility and strength seemed to be a lot higher, and the slash that was originally easily dodged, at this time, because of the speed, although the continuous attack was still blocked by the two-handed sword, it was indeed blocked, not dodged.
"Ike, do you know that Rien can be like this?" Alyssa asked in a whisper.
"Well, I saw it when he saved his sister, but it seems that his rationality will be greatly reduced after using it." Ike stretched and removed the sword he was carrying.
"What is this going to do?" Arissa, who was watching Ike in disbelief, asked.
"The purpose of the Sword of Light is to let Li En use this power, and since he has achieved his goal, and Li En has made up his mind to use it, then the next victory or defeat will be very simple." Ike pulled out his long sword and placed the scabbard on the ground, "Even if it is ten times stronger than now, it is not an opponent of Riene, the victory or defeat is a simple matter. β
"Father, that's it!" At this moment, Victor, who had once again forced Li En back, no longer backed down, but took a step forward, and the fighting energy in his body instantly gathered on the two-handed sword. Laura, who saw this offensive posture, signaled loudly, but it was too late. Without waiting for Dawn to rush again, Victor, who was ready to attack, stepped out again at Dawn, who had just stabilized his body, and slashed at Dawn, who was still three or four sub-distances. A heavy attack, even if there is no direct contact, but the sword qi that is enough to cut through the ground is not something that Li En can easily resist now.
Without the slightest accident, Li En, who was slashed and knocked away again, was slashed and bounced away at this moment, and after falling to the ground, Li En, who fell to the ground, also lifted that posture.
"Lane-san?!"
After seeing the winner and loser, the students in Group A rushed to Li En.
"Are you okay?! Li En?! β
"This idiot, has he been carrying these things all the time...
"Father ... It's too heavy! Laura opened her mouth with some annoyance.
βγγγ No, it's okay, he did show mercy. Lane shook his head and sat up from the ground, "I've lost, I've really learned the sword skills of the swordsmith of light." β
"Got it a little bit?" Victor walked over to Rien and crouched down in front of him, "-power is just power after all, and if you can't use it well, it's meaningless, it's just an empty shell." But - to deny the existing power is also only self-deception. β
βγγγ Thank you.,I finally understand a little bit of what the teacher said about natural inaction.γγγ It's just that this makes me even more confused... Lane replied.
"That's a good thing. Confusion is human nature, it is much better than stagnation, you are still young, there is enough time to be confused and choose. Go forward with fear, and those who move forward will one day be able to break through the fog of confusion. "Pull up Li En who is sitting on the ground" I can only let you walk up the first step, the next road needs to be completed by yourself, you have the potential, you also have the ability, one day, you will rely on your own strength, become a new 'Sword Master'. But then, you'll need to get out of here for a while. β
"I'm not in a hurry, it's rare to have the opportunity to be taught by the Sword of Light in person, and as an instructor, I'm not so unkind." Ike replied.
"No, just a little bit of confusion for the young man." Victor replied, "Moreover, this high enthusiasm can be felt even from such a distance, and it would be a little impersonal to pour cold water on it." β
"That's okay, right?" Ike jumped up from under the stage and looked at Li En and them, "You guys go down first, if you still have the energy, it's not impossible to stay here, but your own safety must be well guaranteed, although I am unlikely to have some range of attacks, but in the face of the swordsmith of light, if you don't use all your strength, the one who loses is me." β
"Hard, do you say?!"
"Do you want to compete here?! The two of you. β
"Of course, it's not easy to come here, how can you do it if you don't move, you must have warmed up for the battle just now." With a blazing glint in his eyes, Rien spoke, "So, let's have a great fight, Sword of Light." β
