Arena Underground Hall.

Constantine sat in his lounge, quietly waiting for the game to come.

As a contestant, he was informed of the preliminary round before the tournament began.

The preliminary round is divided into two parts, the first part is the traditional beast competition, where players are randomly selected to enter the ring, and in this round, their opponents are not each other, but various types of magical beasts raised by the magic guild.

The monsters encountered by the players are also randomly selected, and the attributes and characteristics of the twelve monsters will not be told to the players in advance.

A loud bang came overhead, and a violent vibration reached Constantine's common room, and countless fine pieces of gravel rolled off the old stone wall.

Constantine looked up and grasped the sword in his hand, knowing that above his head, which he could not see, the battle had begun.

For the vast majority of knights who have never fought with the devil, this level is undoubtedly a huge test, whether it is psychological quality or on-the-spot reaction ability.

When they faced an opponent who was no longer a familiar human, but a completely unfamiliar race, it was difficult for even the best knights to maintain their previous confidence and composure.

Galahad found himself in this predicament.

"Roar!", in a high-pitched and high-pitched roar, the figure of the swordsman was thrown far away, rolling around the arena in embarrassment, and almost hitting the wall.

His opponent, a magical earth dragon with earthy yellow scale armor, stared at the ground on all fours with amber eyes, lying dozens of meters away, staring at Galahad with a few scratches on its back, it was the masterpiece of the high-level magic sword in Galahad's hand.

But that's all, a few scratches are completely painless for an earth dragon with a length of nearly three meters.

At the beginning of the battle, Galahad attempted to achieve a quick victory with his sword skills, first taking advantage of the dragon's slow crawling speed to get close to him quickly, and then slashing at the dragon with multiple swift arcs of blade.

The young swordsman's mastery of [Multi-stage Slash] can be described as perfect, in just a few tens of seconds, countless sharp sword lights fell on the legs, chest, and head of the earth dragon, and the dense sword light was dizzying, attracting the audience in the audience to marvel......

If it were an ordinary knight standing here, it would probably take a few minutes to fall to the ground, but unfortunately, this time the boy was facing the earth elemental creature --- Earth Dragon, which was known for its defensive power.

The scales of the earth dragon itself are extremely defensive, it is a rare alchemy material, and the general enchanted weapon hitting the earth dragon is no different from a mosquito bite, and the armor that covers the whole body can easily block attacks from all angles, which is undoubtedly a nemesis for Galahad, who is good at winning with speed.

The all-round [multi-stage slash] split the scorching starfire on the earth dragon's body, but it had no effect.

The earth dragon just lazily rolled his eyelids a few times, and continued to lie on the ground motionless, showing complete contempt for the attack power of the young swordsman.

Realizing that the attack would not work, Galahad wisely switched tactics and jumped to his feet, jumped onto the back of the Earth Dragon, and slashed his sword in the same direction, trying to tear through the Earth Dragon's scale armor with a point split.

The idea is beautiful, but the reality is cruel, because the boy ignores one point, his opponent is not the stake used in the daily training of the academy, but a living demonic beast, how can he not move and let him cut it all the time?

The continuous attacks finally angered the Earth Dragon, and he shook his body brutally, flicked his tail and slammed it at the humans on top of him.

That's what happened just now.

"Looks like this little guy from the Palatine Academy is in trouble. The Grand Priest on the judges' bench observed the situation of the competition and said.

"The hardness coefficient of the Earth Dragon's scales is quite high, and even the special alchemy arrows of the military department may not be able to shoot through, unless he has the strength comparable to that of a siege crossbow to break the current deadlock. Monte Cristo commented, "If of course, if he can find the weakness of the Earth Dragon......"

"I believe in my cadets. Morgan said lightly.

Realizing that the attack of the long sword alone would not be enough to deal with the opponent in front of him, Galahad's eyes flashed with determination.

I saw him erect his long sword, and the invisible magic power fluctuations vibrated along the blade, causing layers of translucent ripples in the air, and the surrounding air disturbed, distorting the light, and the figure of the young swordsman suddenly blurred, like a figure in the water waves.

This is the signature strength of high-level knights that distinguishes them from ordinary knights---- sword energy.

Magical power is not a power that only magicians can use, in the hands of high-ranking knights, they can also be transformed into sharp sword qi to tear apart the opponent in front of them.

Just as Galahad is doing at this moment.

Countless translucent sword qi gathered together, and the red sand on the surface of the big arena was swept into it by the sword blade storm, forming a huge red tornado ten meters high, and the audience at the scene exclaimed in amazement when they saw this scene......

"Radiance, what's that?"

"This knight is so powerful!"

The sword in Galahad's hand slashed down, and the storm of hot sand sent out a terrifying roar, rushing all the way, and in the process of advancing, it continued to absorb all the sand around the path, and the volume expanded rapidly, and then suddenly exploded when it reached the location of the earth dragon.

The sword qi bound in the red tornado roared out angrily, like a long-accumulated mountain torrent erupting, and all the slashing heads and faces fell on the poor earth dragon.

The earth dragon let out a roar of anger unwillingly...

Then, as if going back in time, the scene that had happened to Galahad just happened was repeated, but this time, it was the earth dragon that rolled in embarrassment, and it was shocked into the air, and fell heavily to the ground, rolling in circles.

However, to the shock of all the audience, the vitality of this earth dragon is really tenacious, even if it was knocked away by a large range of dragon sword qi from Galahad, and there were countless scratches left by the sword qi on the scales, but this reptile still did not lose its mobility, struggling to turn over from the ground.

Galahad flew forward, and his sword was raised, and with a bright sword light, it stabbed fiercely into the part of the demonic beast's body that was not protected by scale armor---- abdomen.

Finally, the earth dragon did not move.

With Morgan's verdict, Galahad won the competition.

Next, it is the turn of the scoring session, and each judge gives a score to the contestant, and the maximum cannot exceed 10 points.

For this student from his own college, Morgan considered it for a moment and showed a sign with eight points, which was already a rare high score in the preliminary round.

"The Galahad knight's mastery of sword qi is very good, first using the tornado sword qi to absorb hot sand to interfere with the earth dragon's vision, and then quickly and accurately finding the weakness of the earth dragon, and the reaction is very decisive. ”

Monte Cristo also gave eight points for Galahad's performance, and he gave a further explanation," Many people in the audience may not understand why Galahad did not choose to attack the eyes of the earth dragon, as we all know, dragons have two major weaknesses, eyes and wings, but I tell you that the eye size of the earth dragon is quite small, the hit rate in melee combat is very low, and it is difficult to get accurate, and the eyelids of the earth dragon are also protected by scales, if you encounter a dragon instead of a ground dragon, it is undoubtedly the right decision to attack the eyes first, but I still want to remind everyone present that if you are really lucky enough to meet a dragon, my best advice to you is to run immediately。 ”

Monte Cristo's humorous speech drew laughter from the audience.

Immediately afterwards, the Grand Priest also gave an eight-point score, citing the decisiveness and bravery that a knight should have.

The Great Emperor, who was sitting on the throne, stroked his gray beard and held up a nine-point sign.

Another exclamation.

"The Galahad knights were fantastic, and it's rare to see such a great reaction in my career. The Emperor's comments echoed throughout the audience.

Finally, there is the Count of Fastia.

With the foreshadowing of the previous judges, the audience present was convinced that the score given by Fastia would not be lower than eight points, especially those who were shocked by Galahad's performance, and even showed their expectant eyes to see if Count Fastia would give a higher rating.

Under the watchful eye of the audience, Fastia raised his hand expressionlessly and held up a sign marking the score......

Four points.

Everyone was in an uproar.

This is a proper slap in the face of all the judges, including His Majesty the Emperor!

Just as everyone was stunned and couldn't close their mouths, Fastia threw out another cold explanation:

'It took him three minutes and if I had been played, it would have been over in 20 seconds, and I think four points are very worthy of his performance. ”

As soon as this arrogant comment came out, most of the audience was enraged, and in the aristocratic district, many people looked in the direction of the emperor, revealing gloating eyes.

"Shine on the top, I've never seen such a brazen person in my life!" many people in the audience shouted angrily with their fists waving.

"Is this Sword Saint Master caught in the door?"

"Hmph, I thought that the vision of the 'Sword of Chasing Light' was so clever, but it turned out to be nothing more than that. ”

"It's just that I'm jealous of the juniors, and I can't imagine that the dignified Sword Saint is so narrow-minded. Someone sarcastically said.

Looking at the angry denunciations in the audience, Heine couldn't help but turn around and say, "This Sword Saint has really offended all the audience now, looking at the expressions of these audiences, it seems that they all want to swallow Count Fastia." ”

"The self-esteem of the weak is just at work. The middle-aged uncle took a sip of wine, wiped his mouth, and said lightly, "Fastia is very honest, if I sat in that seat, I would have scored the same score as him." ”

"Oh, uncle, don't you think the Count gives you a low score?"

The middle-aged man didn't answer directly, but lowered his head and asked Heine, "Then in your opinion, how is that little guy named Galahad doing?"

Heine frowned, "Except for the mistake at the beginning, the knight's later play was perfect, but I felt like something was missing, but I couldn't say ......"

The middle-aged man said lightly: "Your feeling is very right, keep watching, you will find the answer." ”
