Chapter Eighty-Four: The Academy Crowns the Champion
"Freshman Championship and Finals Begin!"
The main fighting platform in the arena is full of seats for 5,000 people! All the first-year students were also organized in the central teaching building to observe and learn about this annual competition!
Actual combat is the means to truly sharpen your skills and improve your cultivation! Actual combat will always increase strength faster than warm water meditation cultivation!
"Sixteen of you are true geniuses, geniuses who stand out from five thousand seven hundred and sixty-two! Each of you already has 30,000 credits in your hands, but the champion has an additional 30,000 credits in the stack! β
Xu Lao's high-spirited and stirring words clearly spread to every corner of the big arena, causing another sensation in the audience!
"I rely on this for 60,000 credits, and the 'Fireworks Palm' I've always wanted to buy, I can buy a set and a half at this time!"
"That's a cheap drink! Didn't these 60,000 credits give her for nothing?! β
"Yes, if you want me to say that these four orders don't participate in any freshman championships, it's only fair to go directly to the new ugly competition!"
Elder Xu looked around at the sixteen people for a week, and then opened his mouth again, "Since there are fourth-order cultivators in this year's first grade, the final competition system is a challenge!" β
"What, Challenge?!" "Isn't the final always a knockout format?!"
The sixteen people also showed shocked expressions, not to mention the audience.
"Quiet! It's only the top three that we need to decide, and as far as I know, more than half of the sixteen of you are unintentionally top-three, so we don't have to play all of them. So take this approach! β
Next, Xu Lao specifically talked about the competition system: the general meaning is that the school park tutors divide them into four gears according to the strength of sixteen people; There are five people in the fourth gear, six people in the third gear, four people in the second gear, and only one person in the first gear. The fourth gear can only challenge the third gear, the third gear can only challenge the second gear, and only the second gear can challenge Qiu Jiu'er. The challenged person must accept the challenge unconditionally, but a person cannot be challenged twice in an hour. The final winner is the one who remains in Pot 1, while the second and third places are determined by a four-man round-robin in Pot 2.
Anyway, the championship is no play, but the second or third place can still be fought for!
Not much nonsense, and this is the beginning of the first round of challenges! Yu Xueni was judged by the tutor to the third gear, and she was extremely unwilling, so she casually ordered the second gear to challenge!
She is Miss Yu, so naturally no one grabbed the first opportunity to appear with her, so the referee directly let them compete on stage.
The scene suddenly boiled, Miss Yu's past knockout rounds and group matches were not very interesting, after all, not everyone is an expert in kendo, and Yu Xueni happens to be a sword and a sword to cut people down by skill! I don't even need a martial art, and the fight scenes naturally don't look hot at all. But now it's different, the person Yu Xueni casually refers to is the famous Wood in the ordinary life! He relied on a brilliant Liuyan Sword martial art to fight it!
Qiu Jiu'er and Li Wanwan were standing on the preparation seat and talking, while focusing on Yu Xueni's moves in the field, and secretly looking at the others in the preparation seat. As a result, she didn't do anything well, and she was so dazed that she didn't even notice the sensation caused by Yu Bing's arrival.
Li Wanwan was divided into the second gear, she was always covered by Yu Xueni in the past, but don't forget that she is recognized by the Li family as a righteous daughter and daughter-in-law! Li Wanwan's talent and strength are all top-notch, not only does she have the 'Demon Sea Physique', but her quality as a bow warrior is even far beyond the vast majority of people in the senior grades!
"Wanwan, do you want to challenge me?" Qiu Jiu'er asked her casually.
Li Wanwan smiled, "I don't, I can just keep my second gear." But Xueni will definitely challenge you, so be careful. β
Qiu Jiu'er lowered her voice and asked her, "Will you and Xueni definitely fight for the top three?" β
"What a thing!" Li Wan smiled, "I'll just play normally, after all, bow fighting is not a strong profession alone!" But I think Xueni is sure, don't look at her usually doesn't speak, she is still very competitive. β
"Oh......" Qiu Jiu'er knew in her heart, it seems that she will fight with Yu Xueni again anyway, but I don't know if there will be others to challenge her?
Qiu Jiu'er has a total of fifteen matches from the knockout round to the group stage, and ten of them are won without a fight! Her opponent abstained, believing that she must not be her opponent! Also, the third and fourth orders are like a moat across the sky, and the competition is not desperate, and there are very few people like her who win against Leng Yinzhao with their lives.
"Ahhββ!h "Pretty ββ!"
Suddenly, there was a deafening cheer.
Qiu Jiu'er looked fixedly, and Yu Xueni unleashed a very beautiful combo, which had already forced Wood to the edge of the fighting platform!
A mentor walked up to the preparation bench and asked them eagerly, "Priority fourth gear to challenge third gear, if not, give priority to third gear to challenge second gear, which of you wants to play next, say it quickly." No one went on, and the second gear went directly to the round-robin. β
A very delicate boy raised his hand and said excitedly, "I want to challenge Qiu Jiu'er!" β
The tutor was impatient, "You wait first. Is there a fourth-gear pick three-gear, and a third-gear pick-two? β
No one squeaked, after all, as long as someone went up to play, it was not too late to wait and see for a while, and the final would take two whole days.
Another good-looking boy who had never seen Qiu Jiu'er at all also raised his hand hesitantly and said very shyly, "I...... I also want...... Challenge Qiu Jiu'er's classmates. β
The competition between Yu Xueni and Wood was coming to an end, and Li Wanwan hurriedly pulled Qiu Jiu'er and said in her ear, "First of all, the boy who wants to challenge you is Ning Wenfeng of the Sword Sect, Ning Yan's junior brother, you have good swordsmanship, you have to be careful, and then it is ......
Ning Wenfeng saw what kind of line he could do, and hurriedly stopped Li Wanwan and said, "Hey, hey, the sister of the Li family, you can't beat it in the first place, so don't reveal it again!" β
Li Wanwan obviously knew him, stuck out her tongue at him, and then hurriedly continued, "The second good-looking little boy who said he wanted to challenge you is Yuan Yi, he ......"
At this time, the mentor came over again and hurried to ask for Qiu Jiu'er and Ning Wenfeng to hurry up.
Before Li Wanwan's words were finished, with an eager expression, Qiu Jiu'er had no choice but to smile and comfort her, "It's okay, I'll be cautious." Then he patted her on the shoulder and followed the mentor.
"Jade Xueni! Jade Snow Ni! Jade Snow Ni! Jade Snow Ni! β
The audience was still immersed in the excitement of the previous performance, cheering loudly for Yuxueni's name.
Yu Xueni nodded to Qiu Jiu'er, and then the two girls staggered by.
Ning Wenfeng pretended to have a tragic look on the big fighting platform and joked with Qiu Jiu'er, "Please also ask classmate Qiu to keep me raise my noble hand and keep my whole corpse!" Qiu Jiu'er also responded to him with a laugh.
"It's all ready, let's report each other's names first." This kind of official tournament has such a procedure before it starts.
"Sword Sect, Ning Wenfeng!"
"Qiu Jiu'er, please advise."
- "The competition begins!" β
At the same time, in the audience, Yu Bing asked Ning Yan, who was sitting next to him, "Is this your junior brother?" β
Ning Yan was a little proud, "It's my cousin and junior brother." Although he definitely can't defeat Qiu Jiu'er, it's good to be able to show all his sword skills. β
Qiu Jiu'er is a berserker, Ning Wenfeng is a quasi-sword warrior, and the victory or defeat between the two must be decided in close quarters!
Ning Wenfeng was sprinting, and Qiu Jiu'er was also sprinting, but no one rushed too hard; The attack range of the sword is definitely larger than the fist, Ning Wenfeng took the lead in raising the sword, and then slashed hard!
The other party is a fourth-order, and a long battle will inevitably be disadvantageous! So Ning Wenfeng used his strongest sword at the beginning!
Eat my move, my sword idealism!
Facing such a fierce sword attack that fused martial arts, Qiu Jiu'er raised his right hand.
Yes, Qiu Jiu'er didn't want to hide at all. Don't forget the way the wine fights, and think about the berserkers!
Hide? No way! It's too late!
Five fingers turned into palms, and then a knife in one hand slashed towards the bladeββ! Ning Wenfeng on the other side was also strongly shocked, her strongest means is she going to fight empty-handed?!
"Smackββ!
"Huh?" This is Qiu Jiu'er said suspiciously.
Qiu Jiu'er watched Ning Wenfeng's black eyes shrink suddenly, obviously frightened by her.
"You're good at swordsmanship." The two were at a stalemate, and Qiu Jiu'er said to him with a smile.
The two of them stood in the center of the big fighting platform, Ning Wenfeng held a sword and lunge in both hands to make a chopping motion, and Qiu Jiu'er stretched out an arm opposite him.
The sword was on Qiu Jiu'er's wrist, and the audience watched Ning Wen's head burst out, obviously using all his strength, but Qiu Jiu'er was still such a hand, and he didn't move.
There was a circle of blood on the bandage, but looking at the amount of bleeding, it was probably harmless. Besides, there wasn't much blood on the outside of the wrist at all.
"You can't use a chop, you have to use a thorn." Qiu Jiu'er persuaded Ning Wenfeng step by step. "Otherwise, you can throw in the towel."
Ning Wenfeng glared at Qiu Jiu'er, and then there was a hard breath-holding sound in his throat, and his hand was even harder, as if he could cut off Qiu Jiu'er's right hand with force.
Qiu Jiu'er was amused in her heart, but she didn't want to mock her opponent in the dark. The idle left hand grabbed towards Ning Wenfeng's chest, and Ning Wenfeng was so frightened that he quickly let go of the sword and retreated several steps in a row.
Keep up and punch!
Ning Wenfeng was forced to take a few steps back, but he was worthy of being one of the sixteen people who broke through the competition, and quickly distanced himself from Qiu Jiu'er.
Ning Wenfeng's entanglement, and not everyone knows the extreme sword moves like Yu Xueni's Imperial Sword Technique, so he doesn't use his familiar and nonsensical changes to stab the enemy? Wouldn't it be worse to lose even more bitterly against the enemy by using one's own shortcomings?
No, how can you fight with the idea that you will lose! This is not what the children of the Sword Sect should have!
Qiu Jiu'er stood quietly and watched Ning Wenfeng's face become cloudy and cloudy, and finally showed a face that was resolutely ready to rush up again.
There is no hurry at all; She wished that Ning Wenfeng kept attacking him with unfamiliar stabs, so that wouldn't it be easier for her to find a chance to end this competition?
Not to mention that the boy with the sword will look more handsome, Qiu Jiu'er is rare and a little slippery, looking at Ning Wenfeng rushing over with a righteous face with a sword, he suddenly thought of the scene of the young man in fresh clothes and angry horses holding swords and smiling proudly.
If you want to continue to stab your enemy, why not use a gun but a sword? Swords are shorter than guns, and not only do they pose danger to themselves when stabbed, but they also attack less frequently than guns. Even though Qiu Jiu'er's spirit slipped away, the attack that should have dodged still didn't touch her at all.
Ning Wenfeng watched Qiu Jiu'er flash in front of him, his heart was so anxious, his pace was a little chaotic, and his forehead was sweating, but Qiu Jiu'er still had that leisurely expression.
"I give up!"
Ning Wenfeng retracted the sword into the scabbard with a black face, and said to Qiu Jiu'er viciously, "It's defensive, the body is still so powerful, and you don't let others live!" β
Qiu Jiu'er smiled and arched his hand towards Ning Wenfeng, "Pass the award, pass the award." β
However, Ning Wenfeng was not a small-bellied chicken intestine man who couldn't afford to lose, so he still asked Qiu Jiu'er about the details of the battle just now, and walked with her to the preparation seat.
The audience was not as excited as when Yu Xueni won just now, after all, there was no suspense about the fourth-order playing the third-order, but the sound of heated discussions was still not small at all.
"Hatred of wine is still hatred of wine, strong."
"Anyway, what kind of profession is this Qiu Jiu'er, he keeps punching and dodging, he won't be a boxing fighter."
"It's hard to say, I didn't see that she used madness, maybe it was useless to hide."
"This body, even if it's just a boxer, is difficult enough to deal with."
