Chapter 60: Qualifying
Listening to Yu Feiqiong's words, Wanlian lowered her head and stared at her toes.
"Also, don't look for me again, I don't want to have anything to do with you." He added indifferently.
Wan Lian walked away and looked at Ding Ruoyu who was demonstrating witchcraft. She was once an inconspicuous character, but now she is in the limelight. Just a small fireball technique attracted most of the people in the hall to watch.
She can't understand that it's just the most mediocre appearance, but few people will hate her after getting along with her.
Turning her face again, Wan Lian was startled, not far ahead, Chen Lan was staring at her for a moment, with a sarcastic smile on the corner of her mouth.
She retreated again and again, but she didn't expect the other party to come to her instead, stabbing her in the face with a sharp short sword, and said with a smile: "New here, try to compete with me in public?" ”
Wan Lian pulled out her sword in a panic to confront her, and within three rounds, she was defeated.
"Qiao'er, look!" Chen Lan shouted loudly to the other side, "What am I talking about?" Tomorrow in the Obsidian Temple's ranking test, I can finally get rid of the penultimate one! ”
Ding Ruoyu withdrew his mental power and drew the dagger, and the topography on her toes came at her like a ghost, and it was also three or five rounds to suppress her, and then pulled her up: "I thought you had improved, but it turned out to be ......"
"Who made the newcomer so weak?" Chen Lan rubbed the wrist that she had just held.
"Don't float, if you continue to be so lazy, the newcomer will gradually overtake you." Ding Ruoyu pressed on her wrist, and the palm of her hand glowed with golden light, rubbing away the layer of bruises.
Wan Lian snorted and retracted into the corner. She has always been afraid of death, and these people who were selected to enter the Obsidian Temple have all completed many assassination missions, and they are all brave and ruthless, and they like to see the truth under their hands. She has been practicing hard, not to become one of these beasts who only love to fight, but to get closer to the person she hides in her heart.
"That woman is still a thief, don't let your guard down for the time being." Chen Lan approached Ding Ruoyu and whispered.
Ding Ruoyu patted her head and said with a smile: "Don't deliberately find fault, it seems that we are too bitter, and she will have more chances to pretend to be pitiful." ”
"You've been getting worse and worse lately!" Chen Lan couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh.
The next day, everyone lined up in two rows and waited for the battle to begin.
With a wave of his hand, the black-clothed instructor handed over the previous ranking chart, and instructed them to divide into groups of two according to the method of first pair, second pair, third pair fourth, and draw the battle range of each group on the ground. Each group sent a black-clad instructor as a referee to start the first competition, and the first to be judged to be the key point or out of range ranked lower.
Ding Ruoyu was ranked ninth, and behind her was a sturdy teenager. He lost to Ding Ruoyu last time, and he has always wanted to get the field back, and he has been practicing day and night these days.
Seeing this person, Ding Ruoyu knew that he had to take it by surprise and solve it quickly, and the longer it took him, the lower the winning rate.
The instructor said and everyone moved.
The sturdy young man didn't want to give the other party a chance, and as soon as he heard the order to start, he rushed up, and his fist was fierce, forcing Ding Ruoyu to retreat several steps, almost out of the specified area, and almost unable to fight back.
However, the next moment, she finally formed a seal on her hand, and two more wind blades appeared under her feet, and the whole person broke free from the seemingly ubiquitous fist wind like a slippery loach.
Seeing her slip away, the young man suddenly pulled out the knife on his waist and stabbed behind him with his backhand. With years of combat experience, he expected that his opponent would sneak attack directly behind, and sure enough, there was a "ding", and the blades intersected, shaking the hands of both sides.
Ding Ruoyu swam along the edge of the circle drawn on the ground, and his wind blade body technique was also several times faster, like the wind, so that the opponent could not attack accurately.
Finally, the other party began to get irritable, and there were subtle flaws. Ding Ruoyu did not rush to attack, but waited for those unconscious flaws to gradually accumulate and grow larger until the other party was difficult to control.
She pounced on him, took advantage of the opponent's momentum, and pressed the dagger to his neck, winning with a single blow.
As soon as the instructor waved his hand, both of them stopped, and the sturdy young man sighed in annoyance, feeling that he had fallen short again, and he still lost the game even though victory was in sight.
"If I didn't use magic, I might not be able to win this time." Ding Ruoyu smiled and comforted, telling him not to care too much.
Only then did the young man react, and he was playing against the strongest person in the obsidian temple, but after this scene, she almost didn't use witchcraft. He shook his head, knowing that the other party was polite, and the distance between himself and her was getting bigger and bigger.
After a while, the first game ended with some slight changes in the rankings. The newcomers Youlan and Wanlian were excluded, Chen Lan still remained unchanged in the last place, and the third-to-last Cunxin rose to the fourth from the bottom.
In the second game, the winner of the first game will take the initiative to challenge the dead soldiers who are ranked higher than themselves, and the original ranking of the two sides is not required, and those who are not sure can also abstain. The winners rose in the rankings, the losers moved down, and the rest were postponed in turn, and Youlan and Wanlian finally joined in.
Ding Ruoyu looked at the roster, his previous one was Yu Feiqiong, and his ranking had not changed, it turned out that he lost the last game.
She wanted to challenge it, but when she saw Wanlian finding Chen Lan, she said the word abstain to the instructor.
After resting for a while, the idle teenagers came to watch the battle situation they were interested in. Chen Lan rubbed her hands, saw Ding Ruoyu coming, and beckoned to her happily.
Maybe it was because of the humiliation and sarcasm that everyone saw the day before, Wan Lian was more serious this time, and her moves were ruthless, if Chen Lan hadn't dodged quickly, her body would have been scarred.
Among the twenty people at the top of the camp of the dead, every battle was required to be stopped, because the Witch Cult did not want to lose these carefully cultivated killing tools for no reason.
Seeing Wan Lian's fierce and vicious appearance, everyone sweated for Chen Lan, and some even began to wait for the instructor to come and intervene to stop this vicious fight as soon as possible.
However, Chen Lan had a hard mouth, and was attacked left and right, and squeezed her eyebrows and said to the other party: "What a fierce dominatrix, this girl is so afraid!" You deserve no one to take care of you! ”
Wan Lian became even angrier after hearing this, and her sword moves became more and more intensive. Outside the circle, Ding Ruoyu smiled faintly, knowing that Chen Lan was deliberately provoking the other party, so as to take advantage of the other party's attack to make a mistake when he couldn't see the situation clearly.
Yu Feiqiong beside her walked over, and after looking at the battle situation, she said, "She thought too simply. ”
Ding Ruoyu withdrew her smile and glanced at him out of the corner of her eye. When he looked back on the stage, he couldn't help but get nervous for Chen Lan.
It turned out that Wan Lian was just pretending to be provoked, and from the beginning of the attack, she was in the old array, making Chen Lan think that she had fallen into a trap, but in fact, she was firmly trapping the other party.
"Those who can enter the obsidian hall really have some skills." On the other side, Youlan's big voice rang out.
Ding Ruoyu turned his face to look at her, and said strangely: "It's over so soon?" ”
"Of course! Sister has always hidden her strength before, just waiting to become famous in this obsidian palace today! Youlan's face was full of color, and she seemed to have an aura of contempt for all living beings when she talked and laughed.
"How?" Ding Ruoyu almost believed it.
Youlan continued to squint at everyone present: "Sixth. ”
The bystanders couldn't help but boo. Seeing her smug look, she thought she had won the first place, but there were still five people in front of her.
"Shh Youlan said unhappily, "The old lady defeated the sixth place with one move, if she hadn't been too lazy to play the second game and gave up the right early, I might not know who the first place was!" ”
Ding Ruoyu glanced at the number one name on the list-Duan Lianggong, this person not only has excellent martial arts skills and amazing arm strength, but also is proficient in all kinds of Gu techniques, and then look at Youlan, she is very strong and chattering, she is simply blowing blindly.
The crowd inevitably looked at the person in first place. Under the desk, Duan Liang's bow was long and indifferent, standing alone, and there was no one around him to challenge, and he didn't come to see anyone fighting, and he was not shocked, this is the demeanor that a master should have.
Compared with the two, Youlan's image at the moment is even worse. However, being ranked sixth is also considered to be the best, and everyone laughs at her, but they don't dare to really annoy her, in case something happens to her in the future.
In the circle, the battle between Chen Lan and Wanlian became more and more intense. The real level of the two is about the same, so this competition pays more attention to the minds of both sides. Chen Lan was originally exquisite, she was careless at the beginning, and then she didn't take advantage of it, and Wanlian took a slight advantage from the beginning. The two are fighting a war of attrition at the moment, just to see who will fall first in the end.
The rest of the competitions ended one after another, and Ding Ruoyu was finally postponed to tenth place, and the people who had just finished the competition came sweating profusely and told them that they were ranked twelfth.
Everyone congratulated him twice, just waiting for the last competition in front of them.
Finally, among the two people who came and went, Chen Lan had an extra sword wound on his arm.
Ding Ruoyu's eyes tightened, and she was worried about her, but she saw that she stabbed her sleeves and stabbed Wanlian.
"There's no need to hurt the other party, right?" The rest of the people talked a lot, looking at the weak water protector who rushed to hear the news.
"Let them continue." Weak water stopped the referee who wanted to step forward to stop him, and stood outside the circle with his arms crossed, "As dead soldiers, they should have been prepared to be bleeding and injured." Before the winner is decided, it is not allowed to interfere with their fight. ”
With her personally on the field to supervise, the referee dared to say anything, respectfully retreated behind her, and continued to watch the battle between the girls on the field.
Since the first wound, there have been more and more blood marks on the two people's bodies. Wan Lian wanted to regain her face, but Chen Lan was afraid of losing face completely, the two of them were like machines that had no pain at all, none of them were soft, and they were waiting for the other party to lose blood and fall.
"Are you kidding?"
Just when everyone was waiting with bated breath to see which of the two would be defeated first, Youlan's untimely voice sounded.
"One broke the penultimate first, what is there to fight for, and he still broke his head and bleed, it was really good. Don't be afraid of being embarrassed when you say it! ”
As soon as she finished speaking, Chen Lan seemed to have found a step to go down, narrowly avoided the tip of the sword attacked by Wan Lian, threw the short sword and raised her hands and shouted at the referee: "I admit defeat, I admit defeat!" ”
If Wanlian hadn't heard of it, it seemed that she was determined to let her fall.
"No more fighting! What are you still doing? Come up and stop her! Chen Lan ran all over the field, and he didn't know how many circles he had run, "The penultimate is also the first, don't grab anyone but me!" ”
