Chapter 14: The Contest Begins
On September 1, 2152, the fifth martial arts competition of Xuanwu Military Academy in Huaxia District officially began. There are 3 competitions, battleships, mechs and skills. The first thing to do is to test the combat skills.
The competition of combat skills adopts the elimination system, because there are no third and fourth grade students to participate in the competition, so the number of people who sign up for the entire college is not very large, only 2032 people, Moody, Xue Tong, Li Dahu, Shen Peng, Li Yang, Shi Yingge have all signed up for the competition of combat skills.
Tournaments can be contested with weapons, and dark energy can be used. In order to avoid casualties, each student in the tournament wears a special protective suit that automatically adjusts to each person's size. The main feature is that it can absorb more than 90% of dark energy. It also has its own sensors that alert the wearer when it detects that the wearer can no longer continue fighting. In this way, students can not only give full play to their combat skills, but also do not have to worry about the danger of their lives.
This kind of protective clothing is expensive, it is very difficult to make, and after the competition, it needs to be returned to the academy. This protective suit is only suitable for cultivators below the Nebula level, and when entering the Nebula level, the virtual device will be chosen for the competition between cultivators.
At this time, the stands of the No. 1 dueling arena were already filled with many people, including students, teachers, instructors, army leaders, etc.
After the draw, Moody's game was held in the morning, Xue Tong's game was also played in the morning, and Li Dahu, Shen Peng, Li Yang, and Shi Yingge's game was held in the afternoon.
Moody and Xue Tong didn't stay with a few people, but went to the lounge to prepare for the game. Wearing a training shirt inside, wearing a protective suit outside, the protective suit seems to be alive, slowly tightened until it is close to the body, and there is no discomfort at all, and the mask only shows 2 eyes, which does not affect the vision. Moody's body was active, and it didn't affect all kinds of movements, and Moody felt very magical.
After waiting for a long time, Moody was notified that the game was about to be played, and Moody slowly walked out of the lounge with a palm-sized match card and walked towards the No. 6 ring of his playing field.
The competition board records the competition venue, department, major, cultivation level, etc.
Moody's first opponent was a second-year mecha academy student named Yang Fei, whose cultivation level was level 6.
Came to No. 6, the ring, and after the referee's identity was confirmed, Moody walked into the ring. I saw that there was already a student standing on the opposite side, because of the protective clothing, I couldn't see my face clearly, I could only see that the other party was about 1.75 meters tall, and his eyes were staring at Moody.
Moody's weapon naturally chooses a standard war knife, and so does the other party. In fact, there are very few people in the entire academy who use other weapons. Below the Nebula level, the best weapon to use is a war knife.
The game began, and the two sides clasped their fists in salute.
As soon as his mind moved, the Moody War Knife was immediately covered by dark energy, without hesitation, the Moody War Knife waved and rushed towards Yang Fei, Yang Fei also chose to rush forward, the war knives of the two sides touched together, and then separated, making a "bang" sound, the knife qi shot out, and the two sides staggered.
The two sides immediately turned around and fought together, Moody's knife skills were fast and flexible, and they had been suppressing Yang Fei, Yang Fei was tired of parrying, and finally Moody seized the opportunity and slashed at Yang Fei's right shoulder with the knife, although the protective suit absorbed 90% of the dark energy, but Yang Fei still had to bear 100% of the dark energy, and now Moody was at level 7 of stardust close to level 8, and the dark energy was more refined.
With a "click", Yang Fei's right shoulder was fractured and he couldn't fight anymore.
The referee declares Moody winning.
Because the victory was too easy, Moody didn't have much joy. Walking back to the lounge and taking off his protective suit, Moody changed into his training uniform and went to the stands.
"Wow, Moody, victory so soon? Congratulations! Shi Yingge said in surprise.
Li Dahu and the others didn't expect Moody to win so quickly, and they congratulated one after another after being surprised.
"I knew Moody was going to make it to the next round with ease!" Li Yang's mouth is very sweet.
"It's up to you to say that!" Li Dahu said with a smile.
"I don't know if Xue Tong is playing now, what about his opponent? Will it be just as easy to win as you? Shi Yingge looked at the ring in the arena and seemed to be looking for Xue Tong's figure.
"Haha, I believe Xue Tong should win easily!" Shen Peng said with a smile.
"I also believe in Xue Tong!" Moody is also full of confidence in Xue Tong.
Several people sat in the stands, watching the game below, a game in the No. 8 ring attracted everyone's attention, Moody judged that one of them was Xue Tong according to his figure and moves, but at this moment Xue Tong was a little embarrassed, the opposite knife was ruthless, full of aggression, Xue Tong was almost hit several times, and rolled in the ring a few times before he could avoid the opponent's knife.
Shi Yingge was even more worried, covering his eyes and screaming several times.
"Xue Tong doesn't seem to be in a good situation!" Li Dahu said worriedly.
"It's not easy for the kid on the other side!" Shen Peng said.
"Will Xue Tong lose?" Li Yang looked at the ring and asked.
"If you can't speak, Xue Tong won't lose!" Shi Yingge glanced at Li Yang and looked at the No. 8 ring nervously.
"Xue Tong hasn't adapted to the opponent's offensive rhythm yet, just wait a while!" Moody said after observing for a while.
Sure enough, Xue Tong gradually adapted to the opponent's offensive rhythm, and due to the strong attack that came up, the physical strength of the opposite side decreased, and the dark energy was also consumed a lot, and the knife was not so ruthless and aggressive.
Xue Tong gradually recovered his decline, and the battle knife concentrated on the other party several times, but it did not cause great damage. From being suppressed at the beginning, it developed to slowly begin to suppress the other party, and finally Xue Tong seized the opportunity, the war knife was slashed obliquely, concentrated on the opponent's chest, and the alarm sounded.
The referee declared Xue Tong the winner.
After a while, Xue Tong also came to the stands. It's a little tired, though.
"How? Nothing, right? Shi Yingge asked with concern first.
"It's fine!" Xue Tong nodded in response.
Moody patted Xue Tong on the shoulder and said, "Yes, it's not messy!" ”
Several people congratulated Xue Tong one after another, and Xue Tong responded.
In the afternoon, Li Dahu, Shen Peng, Shi Yingge, and Li Yang participated in the competition respectively, and in the end, Li Yang was eliminated, and the others were successfully promoted, and the winners were relatively easy.
In the stands, everyone comforted Li Yang and told him not to be discouraged and continue to work hard. Li Yang was not very sad, and his main goal was the battleship race.
"Look at Ring No. 4, that person doesn't look like He Zhan?" Shen Peng pointed to the No. 4 ring and said.
Everyone looked in the direction pointed by Shen Peng, and through their figures, they could judge what battle was through their figure and knife skills.
In the ring, He Zhan's powerful sword was slashing at the opponent's sword, and the shocked opponent retreated again and again, He Zhan bullied up, and it was another knife, and the opponent was directly split and automatically admitted defeat.
"This guy is so violent!" Li Dahu exclaimed, and the others also nodded in agreement.
Moody didn't speak, he was thinking about what he could do if he faced a battle.
At the end of the first day, the competition will resume tomorrow, and the students who have won the competition on the first day can take a day off and wait for the next round of elimination.
Except for Li Yang, everyone else won, and they can rest for a day tomorrow, and several people continue to go to the training room to train for a night before returning to the dormitory to rest.
