Chapter 71: Rules

The progress of the competitive competition was very fast, and it was soon Li Mu's turn to be in the group. The group followed the special passage to the arena. No one spoke along the way, and the competitors kept a cautious distance from each other. In this, everyone is an enemy, and only one person can make it to the finals, which makes the relationship between the players even more tense.

With a bang, the iron fence gate on the arena fell, and the iron fence gate would not open again until the winner was determined on the field.

The ground of the arena was littered with wooden swords, one-handed swords, shields, and clubs...... It's all equipment for practice. There are no real weapons. After all, it is a kingdom athletic tournament, and the purpose is to select a competitive champion, which is still very different from a real sword duel.

After everyone entered the arena, they all consciously pulled their positions, and then each picked up the weapon they were good at, staring at the other players.

Everyone wants others to take the lead and they can sit on the sidelines and reap the benefits. However, how many fools are there to make it to the Kingdom Arena? Everyone was staring at the others, but they didn't make the slightest move.

Of course, this confrontation cannot last indefinitely. For the sake of the enjoyment of the event, the organizers have specially set a condition, that is, if no one does it within a certain period of time, then everyone will be judged out.

When everyone entered, a huge hourglass was erected. The silver sand descended rapidly, and the shouts from the audience urged everyone in the arena to hurry up.

Anyway, it's someone else's life and death, and it has nothing to do with them. It's completely a mentality of watching the excitement and not thinking it's a big deal.

In this warm atmosphere, a young man finally couldn't hold his breath, he let out a loud roar, and rushed towards a middle-aged man holding a shield next to him with a two-handed heavy sword. With both hands, he waved the wooden sword and slashed at the middle-aged man one after another.

The middle-aged man did not panic when he saw this, he raised his shield again and again to resist the attack of the young man, and moved cautiously again and again to prevent being attacked by others taking advantage of the chaos.

Although the long sword is made of wood, in order to pursue texture and feel, the organizers deliberately chose ironwood to make these weapons. Ironwood is a type of wood unique to Calradia, which is characterized by its hard texture and extremely heavy weight. A practice sword made of ironwood weighs about the same as a longsword made of steel, and is even tougher than steel, and is no different from a real sword except that it has no blades.

And this leads to the fact that the consumption of physical strength when swinging the long sword continuously and quickly is quite huge. Even a trained elite swordsman can't keep swinging his sword at high speeds for too long. This is a great burden on physical strength.

Sure enough, after a burst of onslaught, the young man's physical strength decreased rapidly, and he gradually became a little overwhelmed, and there was a trace of stiffness in his movements, not like the storm at the beginning.

Although, in the eyes of outsiders, there is almost no change, but the middle-aged man who has been attacked quickly noticed this change, he gently increased the angle of inclination of the shield, and when the young man's long sword hit the shield again, the middle-aged man slid the young man's long sword away with the shield, and then, the short sword in his hand stabbed directly into the young man's lower abdomen.

"Oops!" After a cry of pain, the young man fell to the ground, rolling with his hands on his stomach. Although this short sword is made of iron and wood, and it is not opened, it can also make people lose their combat effectiveness if they are stabbed with an inch.

After the middle-aged man won the blow, he quickly retreated, and had no intention of continuing the fierce battle. Obviously, he is a veteran of the arena, and he is very familiar with this kind of multi-person melee and has his own experience.

His powerful attack and defense caused some people to temporarily give up the idea of fighting him, and they all aimed at others who looked weaker.

It is almost an unwritten rule in the arena to clear out the weak first, and the remaining strong to fight it out. This rule began more than 100 years ago. A weak chicken with shit luck lies down and wins the Kingdom Athletic Tournament. didn't make a single move in the whole process, all the strong guys fought each other, and he was the weakest existence left in the entire arena...... And that Kingdom Athletic tournament has become an eternal shame in the hearts of all competitive players. In order not to stage this tragedy, all the players have engraved this rule in their hearts.

Although, today, the original intention of this rule has changed to a greater or lesser extent, however, the practice has been retained.

However, as an outsider, Li Mu obviously did not mean to abide by this rule. He waved his long stick and quietly came behind the middle-aged man, and knocked the middle-aged man to the ground with a fierce stick. Then, he poked the long stick on the ground, "Hurry up, I'm in a hurry." I don't have time to spend here with you. ”

In Li Mu's opinion, their mutual delay is simply a waste of time, and it will not have a little impact on the final result.

"Look down on people less. Eat me Robert a stick! ”

A strong man wearing a turban and a vest dances a long stick to the wind. He quickly ran in front of Li Mu, then jumped high, raised his long stick and smashed it down at Li Mu.

Li Mu kicked his feet, slammed forward, and flashed behind Robert's landing point in one step. Li Mu picked up the long stick and swept it violently, and directly flew Robert who was still in the air. Robert's whole person actually flew to the audience more than three meters high. smashed over a few melon-eating people eating watermelons.

Several ladies next to them were even more frightened and even dropped the melon seeds, and ran around in shock. I'm afraid of being affected.

Before Robert could recover his strength, two arena guards quickly arrived at the scene and carried Robert out of the audience. As for whether to send it to the infirmary or out of the arena, it has nothing to do with Li Mu, anyway, since Robert is already out, he is out.

Perhaps it was Li Mu's stick that made everyone feel the crisis, and everyone unanimously chose to shoot at Li Mu.

However, Li Mu didn't care, in his opinion, these players in the preliminary round were almost the same as elite fighters, and players of this level were no different from cannon fodder in his eyes. It's all one by one, and it's sent out of the playing field.

Until the last contestant was so frightened by Li Mu's might that he threw away the weapon in his hand and surrendered, the whole game took less than two minutes.

This made countless viewers drop their jaws in shock. Many smart people started a new round of betting after seeing Li Mu's move, and pressed a sum of money on Li Mu's body. And the casino also reduced Li Mu's odds in a timely manner.

However, none of this has anything to do with Li Mu, he is resting and waiting for the start of the finals.
