Chapter 23: Fight to Fame (I)

In other words, the sword is ruthless, and in the annual enrollment test of the War College, there will always be some unexpected casualties in the combat strength test. In order to avoid casualties, both sides of the battle will be forced to wear light metal armor, but even if the armor is worn, there will still be some incidents of malicious aggression and injury. Candidates with excellent results in the cross-sports test will be placed in a large group by default, which is also nicknamed the gold medal for free combat, and the people in this group can basically enter the war college smoothly regardless of victory or defeat. And the remaining hundreds of candidates are not so lucky, hundreds of candidates need to pass the only round of battle, after a bloody war to get a place, this group also has a well-known name, called Baili Hong.

——Excerpt from "A Short Review of the New Test".

Snow sets on October 2, 117 year of the Nas era

Guo Chongyan signaled his leather armor to the staff on the sidelines of the arena, and went directly to the field without wearing protective armor. Guo Chongyan had just stood still on the field with a horse chopping knife, and the students in the preparation area, under the guidance of Harold and Yan Tianhan, let out extremely sharp boos and scolding, and Guo Chongyan was booed and his face was blue.

Wu Ling was forced to remove the four daggers behind him next to the arena, and it took some time to put on the protective armor, and the second one came on, and as soon as he got on the field, he ushered in the monstrous cheers in the preparation area.

Seeing that the two of them were ready, Lantian waved his hand at the preparation area, signaling quiet, and when the preparation area was completely quiet, he announced the start of the first battle with a crisp "start of war".

Guo Chongyan was angered by everyone's boos, and took the lead in moving, dragging the horse chopping knife behind him, and rushed towards Wu Ling with a roar. Generally speaking, if the knife is dragged behind you, then the move will definitely jump and turn around at a distance of about three steps from the enemy, and at the same time the saber will be pulled out from the diagonal rear.

Wu Ling is very clear about this move, thanks to Harold often uses such a seemingly powerful move, and Harold has been fighting for a few years, he has already figured out the life of this knife, the starting move of this knife seems simple and rude, in fact, the grasp of the details is the key, the quality of the jump directly determines the power of the knife, not everyone can accurately predict the timing of the jump, the length of the step and the speed of turning according to the distance between the enemy and the enemy, and naturally not everyone can exert the real power of this style.

With Drake's coaching philosophy, the first blow must be steady, and it is not advisable to take the initiative to expose the flaws to the opponent if the first blow cannot be guaranteed to take the lead. Guo Chongyan grabbed the lead but sacrificed such an unstable blow, Wu Ling knew that the Mingjing Yinling Sword in his hand could not be hard-connected at all, watching Guo Chongyan's movements, when Guo Chongyan was still five steps away from him, he took a step forward with his sword, and stabbed directly at Guo Chongyan, the purpose was very clear, and the feint attack disrupted Guo Chongyan's pace.

Guo Chongyan looked at Wu Ling's direct stab taking a step forward, and his heart was full of ridicule and contempt for Wu Ling, do you wait for the rabbit? You underestimate Lao Tzu! With a loud shout, he jumped one step ahead and turned around, and the saber drew an orange-red streamer from behind Guo Chongyan, and the streamer quickly cut into Wu Ling's sword-holding right arm.

Wu Ling stabilized his body and retracted the feint action, and the whole person lowered his center of gravity and took a step back, of course, this step was also false, intended to lure the enemy deeper.

Guo Chongyan slashed the air with a knife, although he was amazed at Wu Ling's reaction speed so quickly, but Guo Chongyan, who was eager to win, didn't want to give Wu Ling any chance to fight back at all, and strode straight forward to chase forward, holding the knife at his side with both hands, intending to take a sweep, completely suppress Wu Ling, and occupy the absolute initiative in the battle.

Wu Ling watched Guo Chongyan chase after him, took a step back, landed instantly, and stomped with all his might, the backward figure stagnated instantly, and the left foot stepped out in small steps to continue to exert force, the whole person was like a spring compressed to the end, and suddenly rebounded, holding the Mingjing Silver Ling Sword and stabbing out again, like a silver and white lightning, chasing Guo Chongyan in front of the door.

Guo Chongyan thought that a sweep of the pursuit had not yet been swung, but Wu Ling's instant killing move was already close in front of him, Guo Chongyan held the two-meter-long chopping knife in both hands and had to change the sweep to an upward oblique stroke, blocking the Mingjing Yinling sword that Wu Ling stabbed straight out of the way, but Wu Ling's blocked sword was still a false move, and there was no force at all, not so much that the sword was blocked by Guo Chongyan, but that Wu Ling moved away along the upper part of the knife, Guo Yansheng thought that a violent head-on confrontation was directly shaken, and he almost lost his center of gravity.

Wu Ling calmly swung the sword again, and swept out towards Guo Chongyan, Guo Chongyan saw that the situation was not good, and quickly jumped back three steps in a row, unfortunately, the movement was still a little slower, Wu Ling's sword directly opened a hole in Guo Chongyan's fiery red trousers, the position was very awkward, near the crotch, through this opening, Guo Chongyan's yellow boxer pants could be clearly seen.

Guo Chongyan didn't believe that he had been hit by Wu Ling's three false moves in a row, and he didn't dare to be careless and quickly adjust his state, tilted his head sideways and pulled the tense muscles in his neck, and stabbed in front of him, staring at Wu Ling, not daring to relax in the slightest, and didn't notice the embarrassment that he had exposed his underwear at all.

On the oppressive style of play, or in layman's terms, chasing others to play, Wu Ling is an absolute master, Wu Ling has a narrow skeleton, and has no advantage in strength, so every blow of Wu Ling's attack is extremely fast, extremely tricky, extremely insidious, to be precise, extremely shameless; Every industry insider who has fought with Wu Ling or watched Wu Ling fight against Wu Ling will probably have a sense of urgency to walk a tightrope up the abyss when fighting against Wu Ling, and be cautious for fear of making a little mistake. In the famous interview book "The Demon is Behind - 'I' and Wu Ling's First Battle", an unnamed master of the machine said this: "How does it feel to fight against Wu Ling? If I had to use one word to describe this feeling, I think there is probably only the word 'worrying'." ”

Guo Chongyan suffered a loss in the first round, and put on a posture and waited for Wu Ling to attack. Wu Ling saw that Guo Chongyan did not move and put on a defensive posture, holding the sword behind him with his backhand and not taking the bait, standing motionless in place, staring at Guo Chongyan with cold eyes.

The two looked at each other like this for a minute, Wu Ling saw that Guo Chongyan had not moved, so he directly squatted down and put the sword aside, and re-tied his shoelaces, hoping to use such a provocative action to make Guo Chongyan even more angry and lose his mind.

Wu Ling's action directly brought the entire martial arts arena to a climax again, and the preparation area was even more whistled.

Guo Chongyan originally wanted to emulate Wu Ling and fight a defensive counterattack, but after enduring two minutes of being humiliated in public by Wu Ling like this, he couldn't bear it anymore, scolded "looking for death", and rushed to Wu Ling again with a saber.

Guo Chongyan on the stage was humiliated, and Guo Yansheng was even more angry off the stage, and pointed at Wu Ling and scolded him from afar. Lan Linfeng and Fang Lei couldn't help laughing, and fakely dragged Guo Yansheng and pressed Guo Yansheng to the chair to keep him calm.

Guo Chongyan learned the lesson of the first round, and his moves were no longer fancy, carrying a slashing saber and slashing Wu Ling's face door vertically, the speed completely exceeded Wu Ling's expectations, Wu Ling observed Guo Chongyan's movements, and determined that Guo Chongyan's blow was definitely a blow that temporarily lost his mind and killed with all his might, he did not choose to hard, quickly dodged the blade sideways, and swept with a sword, Yinling Sword turned into a silver-white crescent moon, directly hitting Guo Chongyan's ribs, watching the silver-white sword attack, Guo Chongyan was shocked into a cold sweat, avoiding it and could only exchange injuries for injuries, turning the blade sharply with both hands, accelerating the pursuit of Wu Ling's back, hoping to force Wu Ling back with the length of the saber。

And Wu Ling seemed to have predicted that at the moment when Guo Chongyan twisted the horse chopping knife with brute force, he jumped to the right and withdrew his sword. Guo Chongyan forcibly twisted the horse chopping knife, his upper body and arms had been twisted to the limit, and he had almost lost his balance, but Wu Ling accepted the move in advance, Guo Chongyan knew that something was wrong, and he wanted to restrain his body with one step, but the rapid downward chopping momentum coupled with the acceleration of the pursuit force, the body shape was no longer a step that could be stopped, and he had to take another step in the direction of the horse chopping knife, but unfortunately, this step did not have time to step on the ground.

Wu Ling retreated, staring at Guo Chongyan, he had already predicted that Guo Chongyan had to take a second step to stop and turn around, while his second step had not yet been taken, Wu Ling immediately slid a step to the left front, and in an instant he had come to Guo Chongyan's left rear, raised his leg and kicked out, kicking Guo Chongyan's ribs and kicking Guo Chongyan out.

Guo Chongyan still has some strength, twisted his body strongly again, held the knife in his right hand, put his left arm against the back of the knife, and stabbed out against the black steel table, with a piercing metal friction, there was obviously an extremely deep scratch on the black black steel table of the arena, and the tip of the saber was inserted into the ground, Guo Chongyan used the saber as a fulcrum to prop himself up in the air and flip around, stumbling slightly, and falling smoothly to the arena.

Wu Ling was not surprised by Guo Chongyan's skills, this basic foundation should and must be possessed. But the knife mark in the arena that was twenty centimeters long and more than five centimeters deep made Wu Ling have to re-examine the horse chopping knife in Guo Chongyan's hand, and was glad that he didn't bring the ink steel hand and half a sword to the field, otherwise he might not even have a chance to fight hard. Sweeping the slightly mutilated Mingjing Silver Ling Sword in his hand, Wu Ling decided not to procrastinate anymore and to fight quickly.

Having made up his mind, Wu Ling raised his sword and got up, the first time he took the initiative to attack, two jumps accelerated and quickly approached Guo Chongyan, a distance of ten meters arrived, and he swung his sword and slashed at Guo Chongyan, who was not on a stable footing, Guo Chongyan took a lunge, holding the horse chopping knife with both hands and slashing out, the sword cross intersected and sparks splashed, accompanied by a huge shock, Wu Ling clearly felt that there was a slight crack on his Mingjing Yinling sword, and he didn't have time to think about it, Wu Ling took advantage of the speed of the running to take advantage of the momentum to slide with the axe as the axis, the whole body sank, and the right foot slammed on, stepping on the knee of Guo Chongyan's left leg that bent forward in a lunge。

Guo Chongyan's horse step seemed to have taken root, and in addition to making Guo Chongyan's face slightly distorted, his body did not move a bit. Guo Chongyan didn't expect Wu Ling to have such a strange move, and his arms used his sword to fly Wu Ling out directly.

Wu Ling realized the strength of Guo Chongyan's strength, took the Mingjing Yinling Sword in his arms, backsomeraded to the ground, took two steps back to stabilize his body, and quickly rose up with his legs, and rushed forward, the Mingjing Yinling Sword stabbed out of his arms, and went straight to Guo Chongyan's door again, Guo Chongyan dodged and retreated, Wu Ling followed up again, Guo Chongyan flashed again, Wu Ling followed up again, Guo Chongyan flashed again, Wu Ling followed up again, the two of them fought from the south of the arena to the north, ran from the north to the west, and then chased from the west to the east, Guo Chongyan blocked a sword and retreated, and it seemed that he could not resist Wu Ling's attack at all。

In the eyes of ordinary people, this slight advantage is naturally infinitely magnified into a one-sided situation, most of the audience said that they are very satisfied with this situation, the No. 1 seed player who is rooted in Miao Hong was chased all over the ground by a kid who didn't know where to come, I have to say that it is a very happy thing, with Wu Ling's unsuccessful attacks again and again, there was a burst of regret in the stands.

On the scene, Wu Ling occupied the absolute initiative, but in fact, Wu Ling did not take advantage of it at all, dozens of rounds down, several foreshadowed serial attacks were repeatedly escaped by Guo Chongyan, it was a trivial matter not to succeed, but the Mingjing Yinling Sword in his hand was becoming more and more brittle, and the cracks were increasing. Wu Ling could only increase the speed of pursuit and the speed of the sword again and again, and contain the movement of Guo Chongyan's sword with extremely fast and uninterrupted attacks, in order to weaken Guo Chongyan's sword to the greatest extent.

With Wu Ling's continuous speed, Guo Chongyan finally made a fatal mistake, in order to avoid Wu Ling's three straight stabs, Guo Chongyan retreated to dodge and hit his right foot with his left foot, and his body shook slightly.

Wu Ling pursued for dozens of rounds, and he would never let go of the slightest opportunity, chasing one step, jumping up directly, driving the long sword with his body in the air, and slashing Guo Chongyan from the sky, trying to perfectly superimpose speed, weight and strength, and take Guo Chongyan in one fell swoop.

Guo Chongyan had no time to adjust at all, only to see Wu Ling descending from the sky with a silver-white waterfall, he could only hold the handle of the knife with one hand and clasp the back of the knife with the other, and raised the knife with all his strength, raising the horse chopping knife above his head, wanting to use his strong strength to resist this blow, after all, in the first dozens of rounds of battles, this move has been blocked no less than ten times, and each time he will force Wu Ling to unload most of his strength or change his hand to attack directly. Regarding Wu Ling's attack this time, although Guo Chongyan did not bet right, he won the bet.

The Mingjing Silver Ling Sword in Wu Ling's hand, under the fierce collision, finally reached its limit, and the fine filamentous wound extended and coalesced into a rapidly extending transverse fracture mark with the violent impact. With a crisp sound, the sword body instantly cracked into two, and the broken tip of the sword flew out against Guo Chongyan's scalp due to huge inertia, and the sword tip was directly nailed into the black steel table less than two meters away from Guo Chongyan.

Wu Ling was unaware of this sudden situation, and his entire body lost its fulcrum and lost its balance in an instant.

Guo Yansheng took advantage of the situation to swing out the heavy blade sideways, and once again flew Wu Ling upside down. Guo Chongyan gained momentum, wiped off the red hair that was cut off on the top of his head, and sneered and dragged the horse chopping knife towards Wu Ling.

Even if Wu Ling was wearing armor, the taste of being suddenly hammered into the abdomen was still unbearable, Wu Ling only felt the pain of internal organs turning over the river and the sea, turned over to stabilize his body, knelt on the ground on one leg and gasped for breath, listening to Guo Chongyan's heavy footsteps, Wu Ling walked up, got up and quickly flashed back more than ten meters away. looked up at Guo Chongyan, who was dragging a horse chopping knife and swept over, like a huge red fireball flying close to the ground.

Wu Ling reached out and touched his waist, but he didn't catch anything, only to realize that the dagger had been taken away before he went on the field, and in desperation, Wu Ling could only let go, his eyes crossed Guo Chongyan, and fell on the broken sword inserted into the table. Without a moment's hesitation, Wu Ling raised his hand and threw the broken sword in his hand straight towards Guo Chongyan, followed closely by Guo Chongyan.

When Wu Ling broke his sword, the candidates in the preparation area were instantly deflated, and most of them already felt that Wu Ling would definitely lose, and they all felt sorry for Wu Ling. Wu Ling's unwise move of running towards Guo Chongyan with his bare hands made the entire preparation area and even the martial arts arena instantly quiet, except for Guo Yansheng and Guo Chongyan, I'm afraid no one wants to see Wu Ling's blood spilled in the arena, almost everyone held their breath and watched closely at the two people who were getting closer and closer in the arena.

Since you are looking for death, I will fulfill you! Guo Chongyan's eyes were quick, and he swept out with a knife, directly picking the broken sword out of the arena, and then kicked his legs tightly, lunged up, jumped high, and waved his sword, trying to end the test with an extremely exaggerated jump split.

Dodging this blow was indeed a desperate gamble for Wu Ling, he rushed out in front of the horse chopping knife, and suddenly exerted force while touching the ground with both hands, and the whole person was like a galloping cheetah, with alternating force with his hands and feet in an instant, and flew out sideways against the ground. The chopping knife swept diagonally against Wu Ling's back, cutting through Wu Ling's training clothes, leaving a blood mark on Wu Ling's back, Wu Ling felt that this knife only cut the back epidermis, and did not hurt the muscles and bones, for such a result, Wu Ling couldn't ask for more. Wu Ling flew out sideways to the ground, turned around with both hands, kicked the ground with his right foot, and pressed his left foot on Guo Chongyan's waist.

Guo Chongyan always wanted to perform too much, he wanted to finish beautifully, but the ornamental value of the blow just now was greater than the practicality, and he used too much force, and his back was kicked again, and the whole person staggered forward a few steps. Wu Ling swooped forward again with the momentum of pedaling, and after landing, he rolled two times in a row, and at the end of the second roll, Wu Ling quietly put the broken sword inserted on the ground into his sleeve, without the slightest pause, Wu Ling turned around and ran towards Guo Chongyan again.

Guo Chongyan saw Wu Ling attacking with his bare hands again, and decided that no matter how powerful Wu Ling was, he was already a lamb to be slaughtered without weapons, and he walked steadily, leaving the horse chopping knife behind him again, confident that this knife would definitely cut Wu Ling to the ground.

Wu Ling was still five meters away from Guo Chongyan, and his left hand suddenly swung forward, throwing the broken sword at Guo Chongyan's eyebrows.

This sudden change made Guo Chongyan's pupils dilate suddenly, and with an instinctive reaction, Guo Chongyan forcibly twisted the saber and stood in front of him to temporarily use it as a shield, trying to block the broken sword at the same time, hoping to deter Wu Ling with the saber.

As everyone knows, Wu Ling was waiting for this moment, hurriedly took two steps, jumped up, and rushed straight towards Guo Chongyan.

There was silence in the arena, and everyone stood up, trying to see what was going on.
