Chapter 13: Trying it out
In the square of the trial platform, ten rings were arranged, and a circle of higher stands was arranged along the perimeter of the square, and those who did not participate for the time being sat in the stands to rest or watch other people's games.
The rules of the ring match are to keep ten games in a row, the successful person participates in the next round of the competition, the ring competition is a total of eight days, the last two days are the competition to determine the top 100 masters, the form is the group stage, the first place in each group participates in the final, and the top ten are produced.
The rules of trial are extremely simple and crude, believe in strength, and if you have strength, you can go to the end.
But the importance of luck is not denied either.
Shaoguang and Jiang Qiqi sat quietly in the stands, their eyes on the ring, and soon someone jumped into the ring and started the first competition of the day.
The two watched a few games and found that there were indeed many people with relatively high strength who appeared in the ring, but no one had successfully defended ten games for the time being.
Shaoguang silently thought about his strength, compared with the people on the stage, and made an arrangement for his game today, it is best to end the ring match today, and mainly observe the moves and levels of the participants tomorrow.
She has the necessity and competitiveness to enter the top 100, and if she gets the quota for Qingxiamen to go down the mountain, it will be smoother for her to do something.
It's better to have a layer of protection than to go it alone.
While thinking about these things, Xuan Qingyi walked over with Yun Starling, Yun Xing sat a little farther away, and Xuan Qingyi sat down beside Shaoguang.
Xuan Qingyi stretched out his hand and knocked on Shaoguang's head, a little complaining, he said to Shaoguang, "Shaoguang is back, and he doesn't know how to talk to me." ”
"Senior brother, it's the fault of shaking the light, I'll invite the senior brother to dinner tonight, and it will be regarded as an apology for shaking the light." Shake the light and cover the knocked head, and admit his mistake from the heart.
Before Xuan Qingyi could say a naughty word about shaking light, Jiang Qiqi, who was sitting on the other side, spoke up first, "Shake light, aren't you going to invite me to dinner tonight?" ”
"That's right, I'm going to invite you to dinner." After shaking the light of a sentence, she received two eyes with different lethality but the same content, and she continued innocently, "Senior Brother and Seventeen are both my friends, because what happened a few days ago made you worry, it's not wrong for me to invite you to have a meal together, right?" It's the one down the hill, the one I go to a lot, and I can guarantee that the food is delicious. ”
She also raised her hand in a deliberate manner to make an oath.
The two people next to him were a little speechless, and sighed at the same time.
Xuan Qingyi said: "Okay, I haven't been to that house for a long time to eat, I'll call it Shangyun Starling, we haven't eaten together for a long time." ”
Jiang Qiqi heard that there was another person, his black eyes blinked, and he said to Shaoguang: "I am very happy to be able to eat with Shaoguang no matter what." ”
This was said very intimately, and Xuan Qingyi looked at Jiang Seventeen through the shaking light.
They can be regarded as acquaintances, before in the Xingyun Building, when Shaoguang went to deal with the little maid who fell down in the Li family, the two had a short conversation, and in private, they must have quietly investigated each other's identities, whether it is true or not, they are not simple people.
With a little doubt in Xuan Qingyi's eyes, Jiang Seventeen smiled back.
These two people, one has a temperament like clouds and wind, lazy and lazy, but he has his own wisdom and bearing, and the other has a warm temperament, like a warm jade like a spring breeze, and his demeanor has a gentlemanly demeanor.
Soon they looked away from each other, and they all looked at Shake Light.
Wei Shaoguang could feel their movements, but these were not something she could interfere with, everyone had their own goals and secrets, and it was not wise to expose them indiscriminately.
Therefore, shaking the light automatically ignored this undercurrent, she patted Jiang Seventeen's arm, and said a little apologetically, "Seventeen, our town under Qingxiamen Mountain is very famous, as the so-called 'master in the folk', there is a restaurant on the street of the town, not only the environment is elegant but also the wine and food are good, the wine and food there have conquered all our Qingxiamen disciples, Seventeen will rest assured to eat, and my two senior brothers have a good temper." ”
"Really? Seventeen must try it. Jiang Qiqi also smiled and replied with a smile.
"Mmmm, I won't let you down, don't worry."
After shaking the light and speaking, he turned his head and said to Xuan Qingyi, "I'll invite Senior Brother Yun Starling, Senior Brother Yun Xing must have been tired a few days ago." ”
Xuan Qingyi smiled, rubbed his swaying hair again, and whispered, "Then you can go." ”
After getting the words, Shaoguang left a sentence to go, got up and slipped to Yun Xing's side, pulled his sleeve and smiled and told him about dinner at night, it should be that Shaoguang said something interesting, Yun Xing, who was a little introverted, also smiled, and nodded his head to shake Guang's words.
Xuan Qingyi looked at the two of them and spoke to Jiang Seventeen, "Jiang Gongzi is the son of the Zhengyang Jiang family?" ”
"It's Zhengyang Jiang."
"I often hear people say that although Zhengyang Jiang is the richest man in the world, the children of the family do not pay attention to business, but to poetry and literature.
"I don't dare to say this, Jiang's middle school poetry and literature is just to teach the children not to learn from wealth and wealth, and to better inherit the ancestral family business."
Jiang Seventeen and Xuan Qingyi both had smiles on their faces, and their every move showed their good qualities, Xuan Qingyi didn't ask sensitive questions, didn't mention Queen Jiang's suicide, Jiang Seventeen didn't ask Xuan Qingyi what he had in mind to ask these questions, and the two tested each other in this painless way.
Soon the topic was crooked to Wei Shaoguang, and the words of the two were much more comfortable.
Jiang Qiqi's interest in Wei Shaoguang exceeded that of all the people before, and he quietly listened to Xuan Qingyi tell him about Wei Shaoguang, although he had already seen these things on paper a long time ago, but this did not affect him to continue listening.
The stands are all made of wood, and there are rows of chairs on them, Jiang Qiqi sits crookedly on the chairs, supporting his chin with one hand on the armrest, and gently tapping on the armrest with the other, the whole person is lazy, and his wide clothes are loosely piled on his body, feeling that his whole person is a soft cloud.
When Shaoguang came back from Senior Brother Yun Xing, he happened to see Jiang Seventeen's lazy posture, and he happened to hear his senior brother talk about her own embarrassment in a gentle voice like water.
Shake the light and thought to himself, did these two become friends so soon? You can tell me stupid things.
However, telling Jiang Seventeen about my troubles is really too much.
Shaoguang coughed, sat back in his seat, and said to Xuan Qingyi dissatisfied, "Senior brother, I heard what you said." ”
Xuan Qingyi smelled the smell of danger, ended the topic, smiled gently at Shaoguang, and diverted the topic, "Shaoguang, you're going to the ring today, right?" ”
"Well, naturally I want to go up."
"Then let's watch other people's games together and accumulate some experience."
The topic turned stiffly, and he didn't plan to care about it, so he turned his eyes to watch the game on the stand again.
At this time, the game on the stage has undergone some changes, resulting in the first person who successfully defended ten consecutive games today, that is a man in dark clothes, extremely thin, he stood on the stage, like a piece of paper that has been blown away, and he feels that any person can knock him down with one punch, but it is incredible that such a person actually defends ten games in a row.
Shake Light looked at him, and saw that the person's skin was abnormally white, a sickly white, there were two strands of broken hair in front of his face that covered Shake Light's gaze, he stood in the ring, his hand hanging down to his side, the sun was shining, Shake Light suddenly saw something red flashing on the person's fingers, the person was about to step out of the ring at this time, the pace seemed ordinary but a little weird.
"He is good at poisoning, and he has also practiced some kind of evil skill that can quickly increase internal strength." Shake the light and speak your judgment firmly. "The day after tomorrow, if you are unfortunate during the game, you should be careful. ”
Jiang Qiqi and Xuan Qingyi nodded and did not speak.
The trio continued to watch the game in the stands.
Then there were several people who successfully defended ten games in a row, and most of these people were people from various families and sects, as well as some amateurs who had no reputation.
They watched all morning, went to lunch at noon, and when they came back, they each picked a ring and prepared to play.
Shaking Light walked slowly through the nine rings with her sword in her hand, stopping in front of the last ring, she walked into the crowd and looked at the two people who were competing on the stage.
A young man in red held a wide knife in his hand and calmly fought with a long-haired man who also used a knife, the young man waved a wide knife that was extremely inconsistent with him, and easily repelled the big man who seemed to have a lot of experience in the rivers and lakes, and won the victory.
The young man stood in the ring and looked down the sideways, arrogantly declaring war, "Who else wants to come up, the young master is going to fight his parents don't know!" ”
The arrogance of his tone and the arrogance of his posture all at once wiped out Shaguang's good impression of him.
Broken child, what are you proud of? Don't know the law of true fragrance?
As expected, a slightly older young man jumped into the ring with a sword, saluted the young man uprightly, and said, "Su Minshen in Xiafengyun Villa." ”
"I don't care who you are!"
The young man in red choked back unceremoniously, without any politeness, he started to attack with a knife, and he started to fight without saying hello, this is called a sneak attack, shameless!
I don't know whether to say that he is young and ignorant, or that the newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, Su Minshen of Fengyun Villa, do you really think these words are polite to sign up?
Maybe, but doesn't this stinky boy know who the young master of Fengyun Villa is?
Wait to be abused.
Sure enough, as expected by Shaoguang, the red-clothed young man was defeated after not being able to hold ten moves in Su Minshen's hands, and the wide knife was picked off and fell to the ground.
The young man in red was very angry, picked up his knife and jumped out of the ring, without looking at Su Minshen, and Su Minshen bowed slightly at the young man and said politely, "Offended." ”
"Good! Good! The people in the audience cheered for Su Minshen loudly, and Su Minshen on the stage stood up cautiously and said loudly, "Please give me advice." ”
I have to say that Su Minshen's cultivation is really good, as the young owner of Fengyun Villa, his martial arts and demeanor do not fall into the prestige of Fengyun Villa.
Shaoguang nodded approvingly, then jumped into the ring and bowed, "Wei Shaoguang in Xiaxiamen." ”
The appearance of Shaoguang made the audience riot for a while, and Su Minshen was also slightly surprised, but his good cultivation made him not show rudeness, and he quickly reacted and replied with a salute, "Please also give advice." ”
"Don't dare to teach, it should be a discussion." Shaoguang smiled and corrected his statement, "Brother Su, let's start." ”
"Hmm."
Both of them used their swords, shook the light and pulled out the Peifeng sword, and moved the momentum, and Su Minshen, who was on the opposite side, also held the sword and made a move, and both of them immediately did not move, and looked at each other quietly with their eyes.
The audience also watched with bated breath.
Suddenly, Su Minshen on the stage moved first, he held the hilt of the sword and pulled out a simple sword flower, stepped on a light step, and swept towards the shaking light with a sharp sword wind, and the shaking light did not even hold the sword flower, but simply raised his hand, and walked out of the "ripple small steps" under his feet, which is the light skill of shaking the light, and it is suitable for close-range fighting.
I saw that the shaking light stepped out and avoided Su Minshen's attack lightly, the person had already floated to his back, holding the sword in his right hand across his chest, and the sword blade was about to reach the back of Su Minshen's neck with a twist of the wrist, Su Minshen reacted quickly, turned around with the sword, lifted his left foot and quickly changed his footwork, his body had already turned around, took two steps back, the sword blade and the sword blade of the shaking light confronted, making a crisp sound, and the two quickly withdrew.
Shake the light smiled and said to Su Minshen, "Brother Su, the swordsmanship is good. ”
Su Minshen smiled politely and said, "Little Brother Wei's swordsmanship is also very good. ”
After speaking, Shaoguang raised his sword to attack, and Su Minshen was not frightened, and held a sword to meet it.
The pace of shaking light is light, the sword is neat and fast, there is no fancy posture, every sword has a purpose, it is to attack a place, and the swordsmanship takes a light route, the angle is tricky, and it can often be taken by surprise, and soon the clothes on Su Minshen's body were cut by the sword that shook the light A small crack.
And Su Minshen's swordsmanship is inherited from Fengyun Villa, the sword intent is Lingran, the sword moves are changeable, his reaction ability is very good, the light footwork is also good, and he can fight back with ease in the face of the fast attack of the shaking light, although he was torn by the shaking light, but he did not lose the momentum.
The two people on the stage were in full swing, and the people in the audience watched it with relish, and couldn't stop admiring the two young heroes, and more and more people were attracted to it.
No matter how the audience changes, the two people on the stage are fighting seriously.
I saw Su Minshen open the sword wind of shaking light with a sword, and pressed straight towards the neck of shaking light, shaking light luck quickly turned his head, stepping on ripple steps, and gently bypassing Su Minshen's attack, the whole process was fast Everyone could only see an afterimage, and when shaking light stood up, her sword was already horizontal at Su Minshen's throat, and she was behind Su Minshen, and her other hand was against the vital point of Su Minshen's back acupoint, and there was a silver needle in her hand.
Su Minshen not only lost the swordsmanship, but also suffered from the enemy on his back.
"Offended, Brother Su."
Shake the light put away the sword and retracted the silver needle in his hand.
Su Minshen smiled indifferently and asked Shaoguang, "Little Brother Wei doesn't have to be polite, it's Su Mou's skills that are not as good as others, but Su doesn't understand, how did you avoid my attack and attack me with a silver needle when you went around the back?" ”
"It's not difficult, I can win you, it's just a good work and a fast pace." Shaoguang smiled and explained to Su Minshen, "Brother Su's swordsmanship is changeable, and the sword intent is awe-inspiring, but the world's martial arts are only fast and unbreakable, and if the swordsmanship is good, if you have excellent light skills, you can do it quickly, and if you are fast, you will have the ability to avoid attacks and counterattack." ”
"Thank you Little Brother Wei for your advice." Su Minshen bowed down and walked off the ring freely.
Shaoguang shouted at his back, "Brother Su's swordsmanship is excellent, I believe that it will not be difficult to win ten ring matches with your strength, we will see you in the group stage the day after tomorrow." ”
"Thank you Brother Wei for your affirmation, Su will definitely live up to expectations, and we will see you in the group stage the day after tomorrow."
After saying this, Su Minshen jumped out of the ring, went to another ring, and continued the game.
Shake Light stayed on the stage to continue the rest of the game.
