Chapter 183: A Fateful Duel (4)
Philip deliberately sold a flaw, causing Steven to stab him in the chest.
The speed of the spear was fast, so fast that it exceeded the upper limit of Philip's nerve reflexes, just as the tip of the spear came half a meter away from his chest.
Philip clearly felt that the time around him suddenly began to slow down, and his special ability to predict was once again triggered.
As the tip of the gun got closer to him, the slower it became, and the red line of the trajectory in his sight was particularly eye-catching.
Philip even had time to see the dents cut by the broadsword on the tip of the spear, as well as Steven's scarlet eyes on the other side.
Seeing clearly does not mean that the movement of the body can keep up with the rhythm, at this time it is too late to block back with the broadsword, Philip has to abandon the sword and try to grasp the tip of the gun with both hands.
The powerful hands grasped the sides of the spear one after the other, and the muscles in his arms swelled with the rotation of Philip's consciousness, and almost even the armor on his arms was pushed open and creaked.
The tip of the spear was still stubbornly moving towards Philip's chest, but it was getting slower.
It seems that a long time has passed, but in the perception of everyone, it is actually only a short moment.
Finally, the tip of the gun stopped less than 5 centimeters in Philip's chest, and no matter how hard Steven tried, he couldn't get an inch.
"Come over to me!"
With a shout, Philip turned to the side, grabbed the barrel of the gun and pulled it back.
The barrel of the gun in Steven's hand rubbed violently against his hands, and it seemed that he could spark.
The gun came out of his hand, and Steven's body couldn't help but be dragged in front of Philip.
Philip skillfully turned the riding spear in his hand for half a circle, and a twist of the body was forced, and the black tip of the spear flashed a cold light in the air, and stabbed in the direction of Steven's chest.
There was an exclamation in the stands, and I don't know if it was because of Philip's movements, or if he had just reacted from Steven's attack.
Old Roland on the VIP stage also stood up and looked at Philip with a grim face.
With a "snap" sound, the scoring point on Steven's chest was beaten and flickered, quickly changing between red, orange, yellow and green, and finally turned cyan before stopping.
Steven himself was knocked out of the air because of the huge impact, rolled around a few times again, and then lay motionless on the ground.
Philip finally relented, after all, this is a game, not a duel.
The referee rang the bell for the end and announced that the Green Tree Vine Intermediate Military Academy in Gaokan City had won the battle to advance to the final three finals.
Steven woke up after a violent cough, staring blankly at the riding spear lying beside him, but he didn't expect to be defeated by his own weapon.
Philip muttered silently: "What I am best at is also riding a gun, alas, it's a pity." ”
I don't know who this sentence is for.
Old Roland left with Steven, and before leaving, he kept staring at Philip with vicious eyes.
But Philip didn't have time to care about him, the two sides were already like fire and water, and what should come will come.
He was now being lifted up on all fours by Wesley and the others, and with concerted efforts, Philip was thrown high into the air, then slammed to the ground, and finally crushed under him by his six companions, venting the joy of victory to the fullest.
"Let me go, you bastards, I'll go to the party with the beauties tonight, I won't bring any of them, I'll die in a fall." ”
Philip shouted angrily, only to laugh and then ravage even more violently.
Subsequently, under the leadership of Philip, the whole team of Green Vine Academy circled the field and saluted and thanked the enthusiastic audience.
Walking to the phalanx of girls, Emily took the lead, and a group of girls pounced excitedly and surrounded Philip and the others.
Not to mention Randall, who has a pair of peach blossom eyes, and Wesley, who has a noble temperament, even the bald Chris has two girls next to him, and those who talk and laugh may have special habits.
Today, their outstanding performance conquered the hearts of everyone, including these girls, of course.
Philip smiled and asked Emily, "Which house are you all from?"
Emily was not so crazy, she was the calmest of all the girls on the scene, she raised her eyes and replied: "Almost all the colleges in the imperial capital are in it, but most of them are liberal arts colleges."
A large part of the people who are here today are my classmates, we are from St. Michael's College of Women, and I specialize in composition and performance. ”
"Oh?" Philip's eyes lit up, and he quickly asked, "Do you know how to play the piano?"
Emily's eyes curled, and she said proudly, "Of course, I majored in the stringed instrument, but the orchestra is also good, and the other instruments are more or less a little." ”
Philip happily grabbed Emily's hand, making the girl's face turn red and even tremble: "Great, I'm worried, you are simply a gift from Mother Earth."
I'll tell you a secret......"
Philip whispered a few words in Emily's ear, and the girl's eyes widened more and more, and her face was incredulous: "Really? You didn't lie to me, are you, are you really the Golden Knight?
God, I love your song "Rolling In The Deep" so much, how did you come up with it?
I wish I could listen to the live version once, oh my God, I'm not dreaming. ”
"Of course it's true, I had planned to hold a concert in the imperial capital, but I haven't had time to find a suitable piano player yet.
As a result, you suddenly fell from the sky and appeared in front of me, which is simply providential.
The Enchantress still has to go to school, so I didn't come this time, but the Red Ranger is here, and I'll introduce you to you when I get back to you.
You can help me find another guitarist, I officially invite you to be my partner in the concert. ”
Emily's intellectual little face could no longer remain calm, nodded violently, and promised, "Don't worry, give me three days."
No, it's just a day, and even if I don't sleep, I'll practice it. ”
Philip smiled bitterly, and hurriedly reassured: "It's okay, don't be in such a hurry, I still have to focus on the game in a short time."
At least until we win the championship before we have time to prepare for the concert, so you have plenty of time to practice.
I'll give you the score in a moment, but don't tell anyone but the guitarist for the time being, until they surprise them. ”
Emily pinched her mouth with her little hand and signaled that her mouth was strict: "Don't worry, I won't tell anyone, this is our secret." ”
That night, Philip invited more than 30 girls, including Emily, to the hotel for dinner, and Emily decided who to choose.
The dinner party turned into a party in the end, and all of them, including Wesley and the others, were drunk by this group of crazy girls, and they would have a bye in the first round robin game anyway, and they could rest for at least three days, so Taryn didn't stop it.
As for the fact that at noon the next day, a few girls came out of their respective rooms and left the hotel satisfied, it was not Philip's concern.
To the surprise of these people, Philip slept alone that night, and received a lot of resentful glances.
Two days later, Philip and Wesley sat in the stands at the Victory Arena in the championship zone, watching their remaining two opponents play.
They are the Dragon Flute Academy in Vera Flute City, and the Snolia College in Hoover, a major frontier town in the north.
Interestingly, both are subordinate academies of the four major legions of the Empire, the former is subordinate to the Dragonlance Legion, and the latter is the child academy of the Flame Legion.
It was an internal contest between the four legions.
Except that for some special reasons, there is no Fortified Legion of its own subordinate academy.
In previous competitions, almost all of them repeated the grievances between the three major legions and the Royal Academy of the Imperial Capital, and it was also the traditional top four teams in this competition.
This year, there were two upsets, that is, the winning general, the championship record held by the Royal Academy and the Dyren Academy under the Tempest Legion, lost to their old rivals in the six-in-three duel.
While people fall below the glasses, they have to sigh at the good luck of the Green Tree Vine Academy.
Thanks to the excellent performances of Philip and others, they have become a dazzling dark horse, and almost every match has made a deep impression on the audience.
They instantly gained countless attention, and they have almost been regarded as representative figures of the rebellion against the traditional powerhouses.
There are even nimble businesses who take the initiative to find Taryn, hoping to cooperate in advertising in the next two games, which makes Taryn cry and laugh.
The main lineup sent by Dragon Flute Academy and Snolia Academy is also very interesting, with a lot of similarities.
For example, both teams are captained by fourth-year archers, and the captain of the Dragon Flute Academy is Elton, who narrowly beat Chuck by one point and won the archery competition.
And the captain of the Snolia Academy, Victor Benis, is an Awakened Archer.
Another example is that within both teams, there is a pair of brothers.
The Bloom brothers of the Dragon Flute Academy are twins, both of whom serve as sword and shield bearers, and they have the same heart and mind, and they cooperate tacitly.
The brothers' rankings in individual competitions are not very high, only eighth and ninth, but when the brothers are on the field at the same time, some special chemical changes will occur, and their strength will increase suddenly.
The Louis brothers of Snolia College have an age difference of one year, and the older brother Richard is the champion of the two-handed broadsword individual competition.
On the playing field, the younger brother Tucker always follows his brother's side, and he is extremely obedient and cooperative.
The third interesting similarity is that both teams have a very handsome person.
Leo Duff, a fourth-year student of the Dragon Flute Academy, uses a two-handed tomahawk with a slashing and chiseling face like a work of art born at the hands of a sculptor.
And Sean Miller of Snolia Academy has long green hair, a handsome face, and a slender figure, like a legendary elf.
The two are two completely different styles, but they are undoubtedly handsome, and they were cheered by all the female audience as soon as they came on the stage.
Only Philip on the sidelines pursed his lips and smiled disdainfully, of course he would never admit that he was jealous, because he was just as handsome and handsome.
As the bell rang on the sidelines, the game began.
