Volume 4 The Gathering of Heroes Chapter 265 The End of the Woods
The time of the Xinzi ring seemed to have been stopped, and as the long sword in Xu Yichen's hand appeared at Shi Kangshi's neck, both the deputy examiner on the stage and the contestants under the stage were stunned and motionless as if they had been subjected to petrification magic.
After the spear that was picked up by Xu Yichen rose to the highest point, it turned the head of the spear in the air, and the tip of the spear pointed towards the ground and fell rapidly.
"Ding~~~"
The spear that fell to the ground failed to penetrate the ground of the ring, but instead bounced back a short distance after a slight spark on the ground, and finally landed on the ground with a "ding" sound.
The sound of the spear landing was like the sound of a bell to dispel petrification, pulling the people in a daze in the Xin Zi ring back to reality.
The deputy examiner announced Xu Yichen's victory in hindsight, and the audience also resounded with squirming discussions.
Xu Yichen put the long sword in his hand into the sword box, and slowly bowed his hand to Shi Kangshi, who turned around and looked at him, and then said again:
"Senior Brother Shi, admit it!"
Shi Kangshi, who realized it later, seemed to realize his faux pas, and hurriedly said:
"Thank you, Senior Brother Xu, for your advice!"
Xu Yichen jumped and fell back from the ring to the original position with fewer people, not with the smug expression on his face after the victory, but with a shallow smile as he had when he had not been on stage before.
Shi Kangshi picked up the spear that fell on the side with some surprise, and walked off the ring step by step.
Is this because Shi Kangshi's strength is too weak? Of course not, but because he has too little actual combat experience.
The two will not go all out without great certainty, and this kind of use of the strongest blow as soon as you come up is the biggest taboo of the taboo, you don't even have a rough judgment of whether the opponent has the ability to dodge this blow, and it is easy for the opponent to use the characteristics of not having time to collect the attack when the full force is blow.
Especially when you encounter an opponent who may be stronger than you, you will not go all out when you are not fully sure, or when you have to fight.
Therefore, strength is only one aspect, and the fundamental reason for this result is still due to lack of actual combat experience and lack of thinking.
This is very obvious, anyone with a little combat experience can see it, so those contestants in the audience who were originally surprised did not seem so surprised after discovering this.
On the podium suspended in the air, what Li Bingqing and Wen Hu saw was completely different, those contestants may not be able to see Xu Yichen's figure clearly, but they can see it very clearly in their eyes, in the process of the intersection of the long sword and the spear, in addition to the blow of the spear, Xu Yichen can also hand out three swords, two of which can pierce Shi Kangshi's chest, or slash at the waist and abdomen, and one sword can attack Shi Kangshi's back.
This is not to say that Xu Yichen can't grasp this opportunity, but they saw that Xu Yichen did not hesitate in this process, except for the blow of the spear, the two swords in front of him were forcibly withdrawn by him after making a move, and the sword behind him was also the sword he would stab out changed its trajectory halfway, so that it would appear on Shi Kangshi's neck.
What does this mean, it shows that Xu Yichen's attack is already a subconscious sword for him, and it has been "remembered" by the muscles of his body, and Xu Yichen's few stops are all using his mind to control his subconscious, if this is not a competition, but a battle of life and death, Shi Kangshi will be stabbed out of a big hole in his chest by Xu Yichen the moment the spear is picked off.
This kind of operation is nothing to Li Bingqing and Wen Hu, and it is not a high-level technique for those students who have been fighting with demon beasts outside the Demon City for a long time or fighting with the Demon Sect for a long time, but for these contestants present, I am afraid that only a few people can reach the level of Xu Yichen.
It is said that he only went down the mountain once, and it is really surprising that he can have such a fighting consciousness after such a period of fighting.
Feng Qili smiled at this time and said:
"Looks like this competition is going to be fun!"
The competition after the Xinzi ring has its own merits, in general, the strength of the contestants participating in this competition is not weak, don't look at the so-called "star players" that Xu Yichen knows in this ring, but there are several people who are very strong, and if they want to pass the test easily, it seems that most of them are not good now.
When the 16 matches in the first round are over, it is not early, and there are still rings in the final competition, so the second round will definitely not be able to be played today.
After the results of all the competitions in the ring came out, Jian Zangfeng said:
"Today's competition is here for the time being, and the second round of the competition will be held tomorrow, and the contestants don't have to leave in a hurry, Jianmangfeng has prepared a residence for everyone, please line up according to the academy, and someone will take you to your residence later." ”
Xu Yichen didn't expect this, he didn't expect that this main peak could accommodate so many people.
At this time, Lu Ting ran to Xu Yichen's side from a distance, with an irrepressible smile on her face, as if she was asking Xu Yichen for praise.
"Looking at Senior Sister Lu's expression, she should have won the first battle!"
"Hehe, I didn't expect that I hid it so well and you could see it, senior brother!"
???
Are you hiding, I guess if you weren't afraid of embarrassment, you might have shouted at me a hundred meters away, right?
"That's a must, the junior sister is very talented, and it is natural that she can win the first game. Lu Ting smiled happily, and seemed to enjoy Xu Yichen's sycophancy.
At this time, a young disciple in a yellow robe came to Xu Yichen and Lu Ting's side, and said politely:
"Elder Xu, please follow me to your and Senior Sister Lu's residence. ”
Xu Yichen waved his hand and said:
"This junior brother doesn't need to be so polite, just call me senior brother, call the elder or something, I always feel like I am an old man in my seventies and eighties, weird. ”
The young disciple smiled slightly, and then spoke:
"Okay, Senior Brother Xu!"
Following this young disciple, Xu Yichen and Lu Ting came to the foot of Jianmang Peak, but they didn't expect that there was a gathering place similar to a village here, except for the surrounding scenery and the lanterns in the village, there were only simple cabins left.
Xu Yichen and Lu Ting temporarily lived in two small wooden houses connected together, the two rooms were only separated by a wall, and while observing the other wooden houses with gaps between the two houses, Xu Yichen suddenly felt that this might have been originally one room, but now it was divided into two rooms by the partition in the middle. Of course, this is just a conjecture and not necessarily true.
The dinner was also personally delivered to every room by the disciples of the Shengde Academy, which made Xu Yichen can't help but sigh that the Shengde Academy is really "thoughtful".
The Spirit Weapon Continent is not the present world in which Xu Yichen lives, and after dinner, he can play with his mobile phone or his computer. If you don't cultivate, it can be said that the night here can be considered quite boring, after all, this is not like Rouge City, and you can walk around similar Drunken Dream Tower at night... Ahem no, night markets and the like, there is only a group of people who most of the people don't know.
And the most troublesome thing for Xu Yichen is not this, but the residence of Xiushui Academy next to his and Lu Ting's residence.
Xiushui Academy is full of girls, of course this is not the key, the key is that Ruolin, a crazy girl, also lives here, the disciples who were "charmed" by her last time in Tianyan Pavilion still have a trace of "hostility" towards themselves until now, if there is a disturbance here, okay, next door is the students of Lianshan Academy, this is the rhythm that makes Xu Yichen offend a sect all of a sudden.
Of course, in fact, it is not necessarily such an exaggeration, but Xu Yichen is a person who is more afraid of trouble, and the troubles that can be avoided are naturally avoided.
So he took advantage of the fact that Ruolin hadn't found him yet, so he used the [Sword of the Wind] to escape into the woods outside the village.
The woods are not dense, the moonlight can fall to the ground through the leaves, and in addition to the absence of wind at night, this small forest is exceptionally quiet at night.
Xu Yichen walked carelessly among the trees, and every step landed on the soft grass, making him feel extremely comfortable, thinking about it, how many years ago it had been a person like this to stroll.
It should be that when Xu Yichen was in junior high school, he always felt that he was very handsome walking on the forest path, and the price of handsomeness was that the whole person froze into a dog, and the next day he had a rare fever.
Looking back now, Xu Yichen will still have an unconscious smile on his face, how boring it would have been if he didn't do something that made his future self feel extremely embarrassed in retrospect.
Step by step, when Xu Yichen was immersed in his memories, he had unconsciously reached the end of the woods.
It was a flat land that was not narrow or wide, the ground was paved with a layer of green and soft grass, and in front of the flat land was a small pond, and the surface of the pond was full of flowers that Xu Yichen could not name, the flowers were very white, white like the brilliance sprinkled by the bright moon in the sky, and people could not have a trace of blasphemy thoughts in their hearts.
There were two people sitting by the pond, a man and a woman, the woman was tilting her head sideways and resting her head on the man's shoulder, and the man was naturally putting his arm around the woman's shoulder, and the two seemed to be engaged in a very interesting conversation, so that from time to time the woman's melodious laughter was heard like a wind chime.
Xu Yichen subconsciously rolled his eyes, he didn't expect that he could eat dog food here just for a walk, and sure enough, no couple was innocent in the death of a single dog.
Just when Xu Yichen wanted to turn his head and leave, he suddenly found that the woman's laughter was very familiar, his eyes widened, and he tried his best to look into the distance, and through the moonlight, he could see the side faces of the two clearly.
Xu Yichen's heart seemed to be bombarded by a fist with a thousand catties of great power, and the whole person was even more stunned, looking at the pair of men and women blankly.
He also knew that man, it was Lin Ziyu of Shengde College, and that woman was none other than the original owner of his body and the only relative in the world - Liu Xiaoxiao!
