Chapter Eighty-Five: But with a Good Sword
Roald won his first game comfortably.
In less than three minutes of fighting, he had already cut off the flying sword in his opponent's hand with a single sword, splitting the defense, and the tip of the sword was against the opponent's throat, forcing the opponent to take the initiative to admit defeat.
Seeing his performance, and the fact that he had obviously exerted the power of the Open Heaven Sword Qigong method displayed with the flying sword in the competition, the other students had no doubts about Fang Mo, and quickly found Fang Mo one by one, asking him to help him modify the core magic circle in the weapon, so as to facilitate the cooperation with the Open Heaven Sword Qi.
Fang Mo naturally did not refuse to come, and helped them revise them one by one.
Through this process, he had a better understanding of the combination of exercises and formations, which made him have more desire for not only formations but also various exercises.
Because he found that if they are combined well, they will be more powerful.
This is like those truly powerful monks, not only the weapons they use are powerful, but their own exercises are also powerful, and when the two are combined, they appear extremely powerful.
Fang Mo is now equivalent to a flying sword himself, with the blessing of various formations, he can exert a strong power in itself, but if he receives the blessing of the right exercises, allowing him to control and use the Yuan Qi energy more exquisitely, then his performance in battle will of course be even better.
This is actually something that is clearly mentioned in the Sword Man chapter.
It's just that the exercises are more difficult to start than the formations, and the appropriate and strong exercises are even more difficult, and now Fang Mo can only keep this idea in his heart, and he will have the opportunity to talk about it in the future.
Fang Mo's first match was scheduled for the afternoon.
The process of the game was lackluster, the opponent was only a low-level Zhou Tianjing, and Fang Mo easily defeated him without much effort.
However, the students who were watching the battle on the side were all very surprised, because Fang Mo didn't use weapons at all, he just used the Open Heaven Sword Qi empty-handed, and he got rid of the opponent, and he seemed to be at ease and at ease, which showed that his mastery of the Open Heaven Sword Qi was obviously beyond them.
This made them very incomprehensible, obviously when they were training together with Govita before, Fang Mo was lazy when he was lazy, and he didn't have much time to concentrate on cultivating the Heaven Opening Sword Qi, why did he show it now, as if he had cultivated for a long time?
Fang Mo couldn't explain this problem to them, he was asked too much, he could only roll his eyes and tell them that it was talent.
This answer left the students speechless.
Talent is the most inexplicable thing, and Fang Mo says that he has talent, can you still bite him?
With Fang Mo's help, everyone was able to use the Heaven Opening Sword Qi and the flying sword weapons in their hands, and the strength they could exert in the competition was not much worse than normal.
After getting through the tension of the first game, when you play again, you play better and more easily.
After four consecutive games, none of the sixteen students who came together were eliminated, and everyone was full of gratitude to Fang Mo.
Because in the back, the strength of the opponents encountered in the game gradually became stronger, and if they only used the Open Heaven Sword Qi, it would be quite difficult to deal with it, and they might even have been defeated and eliminated.
But now with Fang Mo's help, they can show their strength close to their original level, and it is not so difficult to win the game.
In the final analysis, those who can be sent to participate in the selection competition together with Fang Mo can be regarded as outstanding students of the Second Affiliated High School of Jingnan City of the Open Heaven Sword Gate, and their average strength is already much higher than the average level of their peers, under normal circumstances, the opponents in the first few rounds of the preliminaries are not too difficult for them.
Fang Mo didn't encounter any problems in the first four games.
After experiencing the battle of life and death with Su Fang, facing Calamag, his state of mind and skill comprehension are much stronger than before, coupled with the rich combat experience of being a sparring partner in the Zhengde Martial Arts Hall for a long time, these games will not bring him any pressure.
The four battles were won easily, making him gradually become a member of the preliminaries, and after the fourth game, several media even came to interview him, and even let the Second High School Affiliated to Jingnan City of Kaitian Sword Gate show his face.
However, from the fifth game onwards, the difficulty of the game increased suddenly.
A total of 2,391 people participated in the preliminary round at this base, and after four rounds of preliminary elimination, only 160 people remain.
The ones that can be left are all outstanding candidates with better strength and more combat experience, and it is also extremely difficult to come in the fifth round of elimination.
At the end of the fifth round of competition, including Shang Mo, among the sixteen students, three men, two women and five were eliminated, and including Fang Mo, there were eleven people left to break into the final round.
The five people who were eliminated were extremely frustrated, because they lost the opportunity to enter the main competition, and they lost the opportunity to continue to show their strength, and they were afraid that they would lose the opportunity to be favored by Elder Malphalandino and enter the Open Heaven Sword Gate.
The two girls cried bitterly on the spot, and their emotions almost collapsed.
However, after this round of competition, they were not the only ones who cried, many people who were eliminated from the game cried, and some even got angry and tried to destroy the venue to vent, but they were restrained on the spot by the people of the Biaolong Martial Arts Hall.
At the beginning of the sixth round, Fang Mo found that he had finally encountered a somewhat difficult opponent.
"You are Fang Mo? I heard that you are a student at the High School Affiliated to the Open Heaven Sword Gate? Hmph, you will be sent to participate in this competition, and it seems that you are just a waste wood that has not been favored by the Open Heaven Sword Gate. β
Fang Mo glanced at this opponent with some surprise.
It's just that this guy knows that he is a student of the High School Affiliated to the Open Heaven Sword Gate, but he actually deduced from his participation in this selection competition that he was not favored by the Open Heaven Sword Gate, which proves that he still knows a lot about this.
Because under normal circumstances, this is indeed the case, the top 9 and 10 students in the school can be favored by the Open Heaven Sword Sect early and are scheduled to join, without the need to participate in this selection competition.
He recalled it and remembered that the opponent's name was Zhang Fu, who was 19 years old this year, but there was no more information about it.
Judging from his performance in passing the first five rounds of preliminaries, his strength should be quite good, but I don't know what the specific realm is.
"You say 'too'...... Could it be that you also wanted to join the Open Heaven Sword Sect before, but you were not favored? Fang Mo thought for a moment and asked tentatively.
Zhang Fu's face sank: "It's your business!" β
With that, he stopped talking, waited for the referee to announce the start of the game, and slashed at him with a sword.
The sword is powerful, the lower plate is steady, the moves are not gorgeous but dignified, a sword is struck, and a sword qi is naturally stimulated.
Fang Mo couldn't help but sigh.
This sword qi is actually very similar to the sword qi of opening the sky!
Fang Mo was surprised in his heart, his mind moved, the corresponding formation was laid out in his body, his palm was raised, and the simulated Open Heaven Sword Qi was activated, just blocking the sword that was splitting over.
"K-"
With a crisp sound like a clash of gold and iron, the long sword in Zhang Fu's hand was shaken open, and then he pulled back and looked at Fang Mo in surprise.
"You actually cultivated the Heaven Opening Sword Qi to this extent? Why didn't you enter the Open Heaven Sword Gate? β
Fang Mo was a little surprised.
It seems that this guy really knows a lot about the Heavenly Sword Gate.
At the same time, he felt amused, shrugged his shoulders and said, "How do you know that I couldn't enter the Heavenly Sword Gate?" To tell you the truth, I and the other classmates are just here to take the test, and if the test passes, it is very likely that they will enter the Open Heaven Sword Gate. β
"And this kind of thing?" Zhang Fu glanced at Fang Mo in surprise, and suddenly anger appeared on his face. "Why didn't I have it then! Why wouldn't those guys give me this chance! β
Zhang Fu shouted, raised the flying sword in his hand, and slashed over with another sword.
This sword is even faster than just now, the sword qi is more condensed, and at the same time, a large amount of Yuan Qi energy is slashed together, and the power is really good.
Fang Mo couldn't cry or laugh in his heart.
It seems that this guy is extremely resentful of the Open Heaven Sword Gate, and it is very likely that he was not admitted to the Open Heaven Sword Gate for some reason before, so he has resentment.
But...... It's all about me!
The sword just now has been tested, Zhang Fu's strength is good, and his swordsmanship is not bad, Fang Mo didn't dare to slack off, this time he was a little more serious, and readjusted the internal formation, from the 1-star formation that had been used before to the 2-star standard, and the various indices rose synchronously, and it was more convenient and faster to mobilize vitality energy.
"K-"
Another palm easily blocked the flying sword in Zhang Fu's hand, and Fang Mo once again made some fine-tuning to the magic circle placed in the meridians in his body.
This is one of the advantages of the human body flying sword refining success method, which can adjust the inner magic circle through different situations, so as to produce different effects.
But there was not a single one of the many subjects before Sword who was able to do this.
Fang Mo was able to do this now, also because he had been studying the design of the magic circle with all his might during this time, and combined with the human body flying sword to refine the successful method, he had done a lot of corresponding exercises.
This time he came to participate in the selection competition, but his biggest goal was to make the magic circles he mastered more suitable for actual battles and more suitable for his own situation by fighting with different opponents.
This is an alternative kind of actual combat experience, which is different from doing sparring in the martial arts gym before, and what has been accumulated is not the experience of using fists and feet, swords, and exercises, but ...... Use your own experience.
"Sonorous sonorβ"
A series of clashing sounds of gold and iron clashing sounded, attracting the attention of the other spectators in the ring.
In this ring, it's obvious that one person is slashing wildly with a flying sword, and the other guy is empty-handed, how can it be like two flying swords are colliding wildly?
Seeing that he couldn't attack for a long time, Zhang Fu became even more impatient in his heart, and suddenly retreated a few steps, took a breath, and stared at Fang Mo.
"Fang Mo, the swordsmanship and exercises I use next, even I can't control myself, I advise you to take the initiative to surrender if you see that the situation is not good, I have no grievances with you, I don't want to kill you."
Fang Mo smiled lightly: "Use it first, what if it doesn't work?" β
"That's what you said."
Zhang Fu nodded, no longer talking nonsense, his eyes froze, the aura on his body changed suddenly, and a blood-red aura emanated from his body.
More intense vitality energy swarmed in, and the aura emanating from the flying sword also turned blood red.
Whether it is the momentum, or the light and shadow effects, it shows that his next attack is definitely stronger than before.
Fang Mo still seemed to be indifferent, standing there without even changing his posture.
His reaction, in the eyes of her husband, was simply a naked mockery.
Zhang Fu snorted coldly, and another sword slashed.
As soon as this sword was struck, it caused the air flow in the ring to naturally roll back, and the entire ring trembled slightly, which showed the power of this sword.
In the blink of an eye, the sword light had already slashed in front of Fang Mo's face, and he glanced up, raised his arm, and raised his hand.
"K-"
The flying sword was easily blocked by Fang Mo's hand, and the surging sword qi on the sword body was immediately like a flame meeting ice water, and it was instantly annihilated.
Fang Mo looked at the stunned Zhang Fu in front of him, sighed, and showed disappointment.
"I'm still looking forward to what more amazing exercises you can use, and after a long time, it's just a good sword."
After saying that, Fang Mo's right hand blocking the flying sword suddenly moved, grabbed the flying sword in Zhang Fu's hand, and the internal breath invaded, and the flying sword in Zhang Fu's hand suddenly burst red, but it only lasted for a moment, and then quickly disappeared.
The next moment, the red light on the surface of the flying sword completely faded, and the light on the sword body disappeared, as if it had suddenly "died".
