Now that the group stage has ended, and there is a day to rest, Ling Yi wanted to continue to practice his blacksmith skills, but when he was studying at Jingsi Cliff, the third uncle kept him and let him sit in Jingsi Cliff for a day. Ling Yi didn't understand the third uncle's intentions, or sat quietly according to the third uncle's instructions for a day, the breeze was blowing, the air was filled with the faint fragrance of camphor trees, mixed with the thickness of the soil, and the comfortable and pleasant bird calls made Ling Yi's inner restlessness in the past few days be released, and he returned to indifference. It wasn't until midnight that the third uncle let him go back to his room to rest.

When he returned to the room, Ling Yi learned that on the day of his absence, representatives of many forces had come to look for him, and when they saw that he was not there, they all left a prayer post, but Ling Yi didn't see it, and threw it aside. He now understood the third uncle's intentions, which was to let him avoid dealing with these forces and focus more on cultivation.

On the tenth day of the qualifying challenge, today is a 16-8 knockout round, according to the original group, the first place in one group will play against the second place in another group, the winner will advance, the loser will be eliminated, and only four games will be played every day.

Ling Yi's opponent today is a disciple of the inner sect of the Martial Academy, looking at the way he and Wang Quanfu are talking to each other, Ling Yi knows that this person must be Ximen Yuchen and his gang, it seems that today's battle will not be good!

The two sides came to power, judging from the intelligence, this inner disciple is nineteen years old, his strength is a seven-grade warrior, and the weapon is a bit special, it is a three-section stick, it seems that it should be a mortal weapon, and this time Ling Yi also took out the mortal long sword forged by himself.

Seeing Ling Yi take out the long sword, the opponent was also curious, before coming to the stage, Wang Quanfu introduced to him the characteristics and moves of the Ling Yi Shock Palm, the plan did not change quickly, he didn't know how Ling Yi's swordsmanship was, he only knew that the grade of Ling Yi's long sword would not be lower than his own three-section stick.

The two sides saluted, Ling Yi drew his long sword, and without too many tricks, he fought with his opponent with basic swordsmanship.

Haoran swordsmanship has a total of five moves: the first move is self-denial and revenge, which is a move to restrain the enemy with one's own swordsmanship; the second move is to cultivate one's own nature with swordsmanship to defend oneself and reduce the damage of melee attacks; the third move seeks the way of ambition, infuses the sword move with will, and charges the enemy to attack the enemy; the fourth move is consistent with a hundred thoughts, and one style of sword moves has a hundred variations, trapping the enemy in the sword move; the fifth move kills oneself, abandons one's own defense, and directly takes the enemy's vital point.

At the beginning, Ling Yi's Haoran swordsmanship was only a basic swordsmanship, and later after practicing with Wu Shuyun, Lingyi had an understanding of Haoran swordsmanship, and after the third uncle's teaching in the past few months, now Lingyi has realized the true meaning of Haoran's swordsmanship, and has also comprehended these five sword moves. Although for the time being, you can only use self-denial and self-cultivation, but it is enough for Lingyi to experience and use, and the other three moves of Lingyi cannot be used for the time being. This Haoran swordsmanship has a lot to do with his own perception of Confucian scholarship, and he can only slowly understand it himself.

The opponent still can't reach the strength of Ling Yi to use Haoran swordsmanship, so at the beginning, Ling Yi only used basic swordsmanship, and both sides did not have a particularly gorgeous performance, and in the end, Ling Yi only suppressed the opponent with ordinary swordsmanship, narrowly defeated the opponent by a slight advantage, and successfully advanced.

In addition to Ling Yi, Zongxiong and Luo Kongsen also participated in today's sixteen-in-eight knockout round, but they were all knocked out of the ring by their opponents. Luo Kongsen fought against Hao Jun, and was knocked out of the ring without any suspense. Zongxiong fought against Hou San, a disciple of the inner gate, and he was also knocked out of the ring.

A total of eight games, the knockout round was completed in two days, and Ling Yi estimated that it was about the same, in addition to him, Sun Ze, Ximen Yuchen, Xie Ting, Wu Fei, Hao Jun, Hou San, Wang Quanfu also advanced, the next is the real battle, I don't know which opponent will be drawn in the next game?

On the twelfth day of the qualifying challenge, the eight-in-four competition officially began, and the rules of today's game have not changed much, and the referee still selects students for competition.

This first game, it was Sun Ze against Wang Quanfu, since Ling Yi broke the weapon, this Wang Quanfu's combat power has dropped a lot, this time the luck is not good, the first one was drawn to Sun Ze, it seems that he missed the top four.

Wang Quanfu was knocked out of the ring, and he forgot Ling Yi viciously, blaming this kid, otherwise his weapon would not have shattered, and his luck would not have been so bad, everything was the fault of this kid.

Ling Yi looked at Wang Quanfu's eyes, smiled faintly, ignored him, and waited for the second game to start.

The second game is Ximen Yuchen vs. Senior Wu Fei, which will be a game of dragon and tiger, because I heard the seniors say that Ximen Yuchen likes Senior Sister Xie Ting, and the two families are also quite supportive, but Senior Sister Xie Ting chose to be with Senior Wu Fei, so in the past few years, the two have been in constant conflict. Ximen Yuchen used his family power to constantly find trouble with Senior Wu Fei, although Senior Wu Fei was a poor student, he was neither humble nor arrogant, and he had been fighting against Ximen Yuchen and Senior Sister Xie Ting's family.

After listening to what happened to Senior Wu Fei, Ling Yi admired him, a self-reliant senior, and the spirit of fighting for love is worth learning from Ling Yi.

Judging from this incident and Ximen Yuchen's character, Senior Sister Xie Ting rejected him as the right choice, even if there was no Senior Wu Fei, Ling Yi didn't want Xie Ting to have a relationship with Ximen Yuchen, because his character was far from being worthy of Senior Sister Xie Ting.

The two jumped into the ring, saluted each other symbolically, drew their weapons, and guarded each other.

Wu Fei used a long knife to chop horses, it was a mortal weapon, and it was very powerful, and it should have killed many demon beasts to have such full power.

Ximen Yuchen not only used a hidden weapon dart this time, but also held a blood-red short blade in his right hand, on which there was faint flow of true qi.

Ah Hai clasped his hands, looked at Ximen Yuchen, and said viciously: "I hope that Senior Wu Fei will beat this Ximen vicious dog all over the ground to find teeth, so that he will not bite people everywhere!"

Ling Yi smiled: "This game hasn't started yet, the result is hard to say, in terms of strength, both sides are eight-rank warriors, and their strength is equal;

Ah Hai and the others were strange, before it started, how did Ling Yi know that Senior Wu Fei would not be able to please him? Ah Hai asked, "What do you see? That Ximen evil miscellaneous is really strong?"

Ling Yi pointed to Ximen Yuchen's short blade and said, "They have grown to the current level, and they often go out to practice, which shows that they have sufficient combat experience. Have you paid attention to his weapon? Judging from the material, the blade is blood-red, and the blade is cold and awe-inspiring, it should be a weapon forged by combining bloodstone and immersion silver into stainless steel. Looking at the faint flow of true qi on the blade, do you know what kind of weapon it is?"

Ah Hai didn't understand too much, but Wen Tianqin and the others did: "You mean it's a genuine weapon?"

Ling Yi nodded: "Yes, just from the fact that it can carry true qi on the blade, it can show that it is a genuine weapon, not to mention that it also smelts bloodstone, it is a dark attribute material, this weapon can not only carry true qi, but also a dark attribute weapon, it can be seen that this is a weapon suitable for Ximen Yuchen to use, it can greatly exert his attribute attack, it is a high-grade genuine weapon, it is difficult for senior Wu Fei to resist."

Besides, from the perspective of family strength, Ximen Yuchen must have a dark attribute technique suitable for his own cultivation, and Senior Wu Fei may not have it. Therefore, Senior Wu Fei is very passive in this battle, you can just look at Senior Sister Xie Ting's expression. ”

Everyone glanced back at Senior Sister Xie Ting, indeed, her expression was cold, with a trace of anxiety and a hint of expectation.

The two sides on the stage were in a stalemate for a while, and no one made a move, and the master fought like this, the enemy did not move, and I did not move.

Ximen Yu couldn't bear it anymore, his left wrist flicked, and two darts shot quickly towards Wu Fei's eyes.

Wu Fei didn't panic, holding the long handle of the long knife of the horse chopping knife, a knife flower, and shot down the two darts.

At this moment, Ximen Yuchen dodged and quickly attacked around Wu Fei, using darts to sneak attack from time to time, and for a while Wu Fei fell into passivity, and was just about to counterattack and was restricted by darts.

"This Simon evil dog is so ruthless, he wants to consume Senior Wu Fei's physical strength, and then wait for an opportunity to sneak attack!" Ah Hai complained.

Ling Yi nodded: "He has this plan, you should learn more from him." ”

Ah Hai was speechless: "Learn from him, sneaky, without a little heroic temperament, I won't learn!"

"This is the presentation of his own skills and character, although there are disdains, but in actual combat, he can save his own strength very well, especially in a long-term war of attrition, this is a very good tactic, you don't just look at him obscenely, you should look at his control of the battlefield. Don't attack and fight as soon as you come up, if the opponent is strong, it is easy to lose your strength if you attack and fight, and only a sneak attack like him is the most suitable. Ling Yi explained.

Ah Hai nodded: "Well, I understand!"

It seems that Wu Fei on the stage is not the first time to fight against Ximen Yuchen, and he is also comfortable with his tactics, although he is restricted, he has not fallen behind.

Seeing that the sneak attack did not pose a threat to Wu Fei, Ximen Yuchen began to increase his attack, and at the same time, his mouth was constantly fragmented: "Hey, my father went to talk to Uncle Xie about my marriage with Xie Ting last month. Uncle Xie is very supportive, when we are twenty years old and return home from the academy, we should get married, and we will invite you to have a glass of wedding wine. ”

Although Wu Fei was not affected, his face was already a lot darker.

Ximen Yuchen looked at Wu Fei's face, secretly happy, and understood that Wu Fei was still disturbed by his own words, and then said: "Hey, look at your expression, didn't Ah Ting tell you? That's right, it's best not to tell you, otherwise you will die of sadness, and you classmates, I don't want you to be sad, but I'm afraid that you are too persistent, which is not good for the future, I still tell you in advance, this is good for you!"

Hearing these words, Wu Fei's breath began to be chaotic, Ximen Yuchen was secretly happy, it seemed that the verbal stimulation had worked, and thought: "Hey, you poor man also cooperate with me to rob Xie Ting, see that I don't torture you to death." ”

Simon continued: "Do you know what Uncle Xie promised to marry Xie Ting? It is to use his family's ancestral genuine Wu Hook to marry Xie Ting, his family is just such a genuine weapon, it has always been passed on to men but not women, you look at how much attention his family attaches to it this time, he actually used a genuine weapon to marry my family, and you must come to drink the wedding wine when the time comes!"

At the same age of blood and strength, Ximen Yuchen naturally knew what words could anger Wu Fei.
