Chapter 135 Year-end Competition. Pyrrhic victory
After an hour's rest after noon, the first day of the ring began again.
Standing in the ring, Lin Han, as the referee, had clearly felt the nervousness of his brothers. If the morning game is still with the attitude of learning and communicating, then the afternoon game is much more real. In the morning, it's okay to fail, after all, everyone has two chances. After the defeat, most people did not choose to continue the challenge, but carefully watched the audience, checked the advantages and disadvantages of their peers, and then compared their own strengths and weaknesses, hoping to win three games in one fell swoop in the afternoon.
I never thought that there were really a lot of disciples with this kind of idea, so there were many good players who were reluctant to go on stage for a long time, and they were all waiting for the start of the competition in the afternoon. Who would have thought that the afternoon competition would be more intense than in the morning. Seeing that several brothers with good strength were cut off the horse, and failed to win three games in a row, so that they lost the qualification to continue the challenge, and had no chance to enter the second level, everyone was worried.
Looking at Di Xiu, Li Ji, and Xu Zheng who were eyeing the audience, all the disciples were in a hurry, and they all regretted it, knowing that this was the case, they should have played decisively in the morning, and maybe they could be like You Xun, very lucky to enter the second level, where do you need to cross the single-plank bridge like now.
Seeing this situation, Lin Han was also dumbfounded, saying that the early birds had worms, and the same was true for the emotional ring, waiting hesitantly, and it was more likely to miss the opportunity. The next fight became more and more intense, often looking at the opponent's shortcomings on the field, only to find out when the fight was not the case at all, the opponent's style was completely changed, and he was dumbfounded, barely fought a few moves, and was knocked off the stage by the opponent. Count others as yourself, you pit me, this is the true portrayal of the first few games in the afternoon.
Different from the morning, at the beginning of the afternoon competition, all the disciples always paid attention to the movements of the two rings, and when one ring showed signs of weaker opponents, a bunch of disciples surrounded them; And if the opponent in one ring is too strong, there is a chance that the ten will sneak into another ring.
Feng Shui takes turns, and in the face of such a situation, the No. 1 ring that was still full of wind and water in the morning was completely dumb, and there was no one who was promoted. On Lin Han's side, there were two people who passed the test in a row. Of course, both of these two won narrowly, after all, the strength of the afternoon was more average, and it was impossible to win easily, unless it was a cultivation like Di Xiu, Li Ji, and Xu Zheng.
Maybe it's too dull to watch the game, after all, no one has succeeded in rushing through the level for a long time, which is also very demoralizing. At the suggestion of Zhong Zhen, Di Xiu, who was originally the finale, was arranged to challenge.
On the side of the No. 1 ring, all the disciples saw Di Xiu coming to the stage, and they let out cheers together, attracting the attention of the No. 2 ring, and Lin Han shook his head in frustration. Seeing this situation, Xu Zheng here also intended to come to the stage to attract popularity, but was stopped by Lin Han. Jokes, there has just been some improvement here, so that the senior brothers can see hope, and the friendly atmosphere cannot be destroyed by Xu Zheng.
With the cheers from the No. 1 ring, the No. 2 ring also began a new round of competition. Unlike before, the two players this time are both good at making swords, and their internal strength is also quite equal, and they are both the fifth layer of the mental method.
The new one on the stage arched his hand and said: "In Xia Chen Chen, the fifth layer of the mental method, please ask Senior Brother Li for advice." ”
"Senior Brother Chen is polite!" Li Yuheng, who had won one game before, returned the courtesy.
Coughing, attracting the attention of the two, Lin Han said: "Okay, the two senior brothers will distance themselves first, because the two senior brothers are both sword wielders, so they must be extra careful." After all, it's a competition between the same sect in the faction, don't fight too hard, so as not to hurt the harmony, understand? ”
"Understood." The two nodded in unison.
Lin Han smiled: "Of course, I will also take care of it on the side, and the two senior brothers don't have to worry too much." So, the race begins! ”
With an order, Chen Chen and Li Yuheng drew their long swords at the same time, threw the scabbard aside, and moved their own steps, cautiously probing. It's no wonder that the two of them are careful, there is really a precedent before, someone finally won two games, but because of nervousness or pride, they lost the third game. As a lesson from the past, Chen Chen didn't want to be beaten down as soon as he came to power, after all, he had already used up an opportunity before, and if he lost this game again, he would naturally have no hope of promotion. Li Yuheng also accompanied Chen Chen in a circle, and he also didn't want to be careless about Jingzhou.
Just when Lin Han was about to be dizzy by the two of them, someone finally launched an attack, and this time the first to make a move was the newly appointed Chen Chen. I saw that he was wandering, and suddenly stepped forward with an arrow, and with a 'bang', the long sword struck forward, stabbing directly at Li Yuheng's door.
Stimulated, Li Yuheng's eyes narrowed slightly, after a short period of adaptation, Chen Chen's long sword had reached one meter in front of him, fortunately, Li Yuheng had been on high alert before, his body's reaction was much faster than thinking, the next second he was attacked, his body leaned back slightly, and the long sword in his right hand was also immediately swung out, which was stimulated by the previous horizontal chest protection, from left to right, and slashed towards Chen Chen's long sword, intending to block his first blow.
At this moment, Chen Chen, who was attacking, also had the intention of testing the opponent's internal strength, only to see that after Li Yuheng made a move, he did not avoid it, but still insisted that Qingshan would not relax, and just moved forward straight. The next moment, the two swords struck each other, making a 'bang' sound, and after the two competed, they found that no one could help anyone, and they had confidence in their hearts, and at the same time retreated and jumped away.
After widening the distance, the two looked at each other and attacked at the same time. This time, the two of them no longer tempted, and each danced their long swords vigorously. Since both of them took the light and agile path, the conversion and change of sword moves were extremely fast. After the initial adaptation, both of them no longer have any scruples and will bring out the best swordsmanship. For a while, the sound of Qiang, Qiang, and Qiang Qiang was endless, and the two of them had made up their minds when they touched their long swords, and they both made up their minds: since they couldn't compare with each other in terms of internal strength, they would divide the winner in the swordsmanship.
This competition is very exciting, accompanied by bursts of cheers from the audience, and unconsciously, the two have fought no less than 300 moves. Lin Han nodded, it could be seen that in terms of basic swordsmanship, both of them already had a good understanding and strong application, and there was no trace of stagnation in the sword moves, just like a spring breeze, giving people a feeling of natural pleasure.
Not only Lin Han, but also Le Hou, who was also paying attention to this competition, saw him nodding from time to time, and said to the 'Divine Whip' Deng Bagong beside him: "Yes, the foundation of these two people is already very solid, and they can already practice the seventeen-way fast and slow sword technique." ”
Deng Bagong agreed: "Senior brother is right, presumably after this big competition, the senior brother in charge should have a headache for teaching swordsmanship." ”
"Hahahaha, it's okay, that's something Senior Brother Zuo should consider." Le Hou gloated and laughed out loud.
Deng Ba said fairly: "Senior brother, don't be too happy. ”
"Why do you say that?" Le Hou asked puzzled.
Deng Bagong smiled and said: "I'll do the math for you, I won't talk about the disciples under the head of the senior brother, Senior Brother Ding Mian has Lin Han's nephew under the seat, Senior Brother Lu Bai has also booked Liu Xuewen, Senior Brother Fei Bin is in Luoyang, maybe when will he accept apprentices, and Tang Yingyu Senior Brother, he is also very concerned about that Wu Ping, and he has no idea of accepting apprentices." In this way, in this big situation, there is a blowout of talents, and the junior brother thinks that other people can escape? ”
"Uh", Le Hou was stunned, thinking about it, this is really the case, if the senior brother in charge waved his hand, they would really have to accept the apprentices. However, turning his gaze to the two people in the No. 2 ring, Le Hou smiled and said, "Senior Brother Deng, then we have to pick well, and we have to learn from Senior Brother Ding, and strike first." ”
"That's right." Deng Bagong nodded happily in response.
Le Hou hurriedly said: "Watch the game, watch the game." ”
Shifting their eyes to the No. 2 ring, Chen Chen and Li Yuheng were still fighting happily. However, in Lin Han's opinion, the two of them can't last long, no matter how exquisite the swordsmanship is, no matter how much they avoid the heavy, in the final analysis, the competition is all individual work, and after a long time, everyone has to be weak and weak.
After fighting for no less than 400 moves, Chen Chen and Li Yuheng were tired like pugs at the same time, their steps began to weaken, and their hands holding the sword were not so steady. At this time, the swordsmanship of the two of them was already full of flaws, and they often involuntarily pointed to the east and the west.
Suddenly, Chen Chen's long sword changed, hitting a flaw in Li Yuheng's middle door. Lin Han's attention was immediately highly tense, not because he didn't have confidence in the swordsmanship of the two, but because he didn't have confidence in the physical strength of the two.
Sure enough, in one of Li Yuheng's dodges, Chen Chen used too much force, and due to inertia, the long sword shot out from Li Yuheng's left side, and did not hit any target. Unfortunately, Li Yuheng's long sword had already stabbed out, and the sword move that was originally aimed at Chen Chen's lower abdomen went straight to his throat in Chen Chen's stumbling. At this time, the exhausted Chen Chen could no longer avoid it, and the same was true for Li Yuheng, whose physical strength was not much better than that of his opponent, and it was too late to change.
The disciples in the audience saw the danger, and when they saw that Chen Chen was about to splash blood on the spot, they immediately exclaimed, and even the three people who were paying attention to the No. 1 ring on the high platform were shocked when they saw this situation. However, the next moment, they showed a knowing smile and nodded their heads again and again. It turned out that at the most critical moment, the role of referee Lin Han was highlighted, only to see him step forward with an arrow, and the tears were swung out of the sheath during the march, and at the same time that his body grabbed into Chen Chen's arms, the tears were hitting the tip of Li Yuheng's long sword, and at the same time, he didn't stop, and hit Chen Chen with a heavy shoulder, knocking Chen Chen out of the air.
When Chen Chen woke up from his fright, he was already out of the air, but fortunately, although Lin Han used a lot of force, he used a lot of skill, and when he landed, although his footsteps staggered back a few steps, he finally landed safely.
The frightened Chen Chen didn't dare to slack off, although he lost, he managed to save a small life, and hurriedly bowed down to the stage and saluted: "Thank you Senior Brother Lin for saving your life, Chen Chen is grateful, whatever the senior brother commands in the future, the senior brother will define it." ”
Lin Han arched his hand and said: "Senior brother is polite, it is Lin Han's duty as a referee to ensure the safety of the players, but unfortunately Senior Brother Chen lost a game, so the two senior brothers came first and helped Senior Brother Lin aside to rest." ”
As soon as the words fell, two disciples flashed out from the side, carefully supporting Chen Chen to the side to rest.
The crisis was lifted, and Li Yuheng on the stage was also relieved, if Chen Chen was injured by mistake, although it was not his responsibility, he would feel guilty in his heart, and hurriedly put away his sword and thanked: "Thank you Senior Brother Lin for taking action in time, otherwise Senior Brother I will become a sinner." ”
Lin Han shook his head, withdrew the tears, and said with a smile: "Senior Brother Li doesn't have to mind, isn't there no accident, Senior Brother has fought this time, but how to meet the next challenge?" ”
"Ah......" Li Yuheng was stunned, he had fought too hard with Chen Chen before, and he was powerless to fight again after the narrow victory, but it was impossible for him to give up, this was a problem.
Lin Han was also helpless: Could it be that he finally came out with a person who had passed two games in a row, but he had to stop in front of the second level because of such reasons?
