Chapter 15: The Opening Battle

The Nas Empire's War College has now formed a three-legged situation of the Imperial War College, the Aobo War College and the Gezhi War College, each of which has its own expertise, and from the perspective of recruiting new talents, each war college should have a separate test system for recruiting new talents and different evaluation criteria to achieve better professional recruitment.

But this is not the case with today's new recruitment mechanism, the new recruitment test has always been set by the Blade Council to set standards and unified arrangements, not only that, after the results of the new recruitment test are announced, the Blade Council gives students the right to choose - to choose a school by reverse selection, that is, students who pass the new test can choose the war college at will.

Do you readers feel that this seems a little inappropriate, such a system is easy to form early co-optation, inducement and other shady operations, but in fact it is not.

The very existence of the War College is a purely national act, in order to cultivate an elite force to defend the country. The benefits of state behavior do not need to be repeated, the unified, fair and transparent testing system gives students a fair chance to compete and gives the academy more space, and the most important point, the Blade Council gives students the right to do so, which can be described as a stroke of genius!

Just imagine, each college has its own admissions, and the battle of wits in the open and in the dark is not mentioned for the time being, once a group can largely avoid direct competition, it will eventually lead to the decline of the group, and the reason is simple - rest on its laurels. The addition of the anti-election rule directly avoided the occurrence of this situation, although it still could not eliminate shady transactions, it still played a certain role in curbing it. Subject to the rules of anti-election, the three major war colleges need to be ...... in software, hardware, research and development, and teaching methods and other aspects continue to improve, in order to win more attention and better reputation.

Another key point of state behavior, the Blade Council has developed a large number of provisions around the characteristics of the War College, many of which deal with felonies such as treason, and benefit from these regulations, which provide students with great security in the process of completing their studies.

The three major war academies will bring the cadets selected in the local area last year to conduct several performance competitions with the academies as units, so that the masses can understand the improvement of the strength of the cadets, so as to demonstrate the strong teaching strength of the war colleges.

With the increasing level of cultural accomplishment and appreciation of the people, today's masses are no longer satisfied with watching a few performances, and people want to see a gorgeous duel like a needlepoint against a wheat, which is best mixed with some exciting emotional factors, such as last year in Snowfall City, the Gezhi War College swept the Imperial War College and the Aobo Academy, and this year the two academies will carry out what kind of counterattack to vent their anger and other topics, are the main topics when people talk about the War College this year, and I have to admire the strong ability of the people to entertain themselves。 For the exhibition match, the attitude of the three colleges is very clear - the exchange has made progress - the exhibition game is helpful to the improvement of the ability of their respective students. In addition, for the examiners of the War College, through the exhibition competition, they can have a review and reflection on their own judgment and eyesight, to see how the outstanding students who were robbed last year are strong after a year, what their judgment is in the previous year, and whether they have lost their eyes.

All in all, the exhibition competition of the new test is beneficial to both the students and the college. The opening match of the annual Naxin Test Exhibition Tournament has always been the focus of attention.

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

Snow fell on October 1, 117 year of the Nas era

Early morning.

When Harold got up, he found that there were far fewer tents at the foot of the mountain, and most of the people were stacking their tents. In the distance, the gate of the Imperial Army Division had been opened, and a checkpoint had been set up at the door, and six long columns were slowly entering the Imperial Army Branch.

Wu Ling didn't sleep all night, took a nap while Harold and Wan Lingyue were packing their luggage, and when Harold and Wan Lingyue packed everything up, Wu Ling stuffed Wan Lingyue's Sunbreaker Silver Ling Sword into the backpack containing the tent, Wan Lingyue understood what Wu Ling meant, put on the cloak, and followed Wu Ling and Harold towards the gate of the army branch.

The backpack for the tent was still in charge of Harold, who walked less than a hundred meters before he was overcome by the sore shoulder, and muttered as he walked: "I don't want to live in a tent tonight, except that this thing doesn't torture me when I sleep, and this thing is as heavy as an iron lump at other times." Moreover, I will keep vigil tonight and can't sleep, tomorrow the combat power test will be too bad. ”

Staying up late will indeed have an impact on the combat power test of the Naxin test, Wu Ling did not deny it, thought about it, and decided to explore the potential of Harold's mouth cannon, and induced: "Indeed, it is uncomfortable to sleep and easy to be discovered, but the hotel must still be full, and the only hope is to stay in ordinary people's homes, and it should not be a problem to pay a small amount of money." I think this kind of thing is definitely something that you Harold can do with just opening your mouth and a few words. It's up to you in a moment. ”

Harold became angry when he heard this, and shouted, "If you didn't say this way earlier, I'm so tired now!"

Wu Ling retorted, "You can't complain about me if you're tired, your father asked you to carry the tent." ”

"You...... You're on the point. Harold thought about it, so he could only admit it and continue to carry his backpack in pain.

After walking all the way and squeezing all the way, moving slowly for half an hour, the three of them finally entered the entrance of the martial arts arena of the Imperial Army's Xueluo City Branch, the martial arts arena was grand and magnificent, huge and flat, Wu Ling and Harold, as authentic soil buns, saw such a wide and flat land for the first time in addition to farmland and grassland, and sighed.

In the center of the martial arts arena, there is a square platform made of black steel pouring, the square platform is more than one meter high, the square platform is covered with traces of sword chopping, on the south side and east side of the periphery of the martial arts arena, there are several dark green houses, the style is simple, it looks like some years, and the corresponding west and north sides are the black stone stands of 30 meters high.

The three of them moved swiftly towards the stands, and every two meters on either side of the crowd were heavily armed Imperial soldiers, black armor, single swords and shields, and statue-like clubs. It was only a distance of three hundred meters from the entrance of the martial arts arena to the stands, and it took nearly a quarter of an hour to move up to the stands, and they moved on the stands for nearly ten minutes before finally arriving at the area with empty seats.

Wu Ling walked so hard for the first time in his life, and he had to line up to watch a competition, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart that the insignificance of the thirty-five villages was also beneficial, and he had never lined up in the village for more than ten years.

"Tut-tut, who built that broken platform on the field, it's too wasteful, how much ink steel does this have to be wasted?" Harold's mouth was completely out of tune.

"Don't you know the arenas? The empire's arenas are all made of black steel, regulations, what's there to think about. Wan Lingyue was very excited today and replied with a wink.

Harold nodded, and when he opened his mouth again, he had already jumped to another completely unrelated topic, "Why don't the three major war academies even have a figure?

At this time, a little fat man sitting next to Harold answered, squinting and poking his head, "It is estimated that it will come out in a while, this year's opening game is a blockbuster, you know the two geniuses of Snow Falling City last year, right?"

The little fat man had a big back, shiny hair, and wore a silver shirt with very fine embroidery on it, a pair of black satin trousers, and the only thing that did not match was a pair of flip-flops hanging from his feet. The fat man was carrying a short sword in his hand, the scabbard was made of cyan spar, Wu Ling had never seen many scabbards, let alone many spars, and the delicacy of the scabbard made Wu Ling believe that this must not be ordinary. Seeing such such a pompous person and such a pompous scabbard, Wu Ling felt as if the place where he slept that night had been settled, stabbed Harold, and handed over a look.

Harold understood, and immediately conjured up a very interested smile, saying that he didn't know who those two geniuses were. The little fat man saw that Harold didn't know, and suddenly came to his heart, and said with his hands dancing, "Ah, I don't know this, it's not bragging, I memorized the top ten of the first ten war college admission tests, let me tell you, last year's two were the most rebellious in the past ten years." ”

Harold pressed the urge to slap the fat man to death, the two geniuses of this year are sitting next to you, and after the past few days of the new test, you have to memorize the names of your uncle and your second master several times a day.

"Last year's new test of the War Academy, the first and second in Xueluo City is the first and second in Dawning City, and our Xueluo City is more powerful than Yunjing City and Haiming City! The first is called Shi Fang, and the second is called Sha Baiyu, a metal department and a fire system, and the attribute value of the crossing body is still 97, in last year's combat power test, there was no winner or loser after half an hour, and the scene was called a heroic, and then if Sha Baiyu's sword was not broken, the two of them would have to fight for at least another half an hour. But it's a pity that the sand white feather has a slight upper hand because the family is poor and doesn't have a good sword to lose. Last year, for these two people, the recruiters of the three war colleges almost fought, and in the end, Sha Baiyu went to the Imperial War College, and the first Shi Fang went to the Gezhi War College. ”

Harold was dark again, only half an hour, uncle, I and your second master Wu Ling often fight for an hour or two, besides, you two uncles also have two peerless swords, and whoever comes will beat him all over the ground looking for teeth, thinking about Harold can't help but laugh.

"It's coming!" Wan Lingyue shouted as she pointed to the martial arts arena.

Dozens of salutes rose into the air, and in the continuous crackling sound, three columns walked out of the dark green double-storey building on the south side of the martial arts arena. The number of people in each team varies, and the Imperial War College can be regarded as a relative of the emperor, the gold and white uniforms are particularly eye-catching, and the number of people in the team is also the largest, with thirteen people, both men and women. Walking at the front of the Imperial War Academy team is a male cadet, holding a silver-white one-handed sword in his hand, and at the end of the Imperial War Academy team is an old man with white beard and white hair, dressed in a gold and white robe, walking in a natural manner, not slow, not sick, quite a bit of a worldly master.

The silver-white Aobo War Academy has the smallest number of people, only seven people, and the leader is a middle-aged man, although he is wearing shoulder-length black hair, he is not feminine, his hands are behind his back, and the whole person looks very comfortable and attractive.

Among the three columns, the most dignified uniform color is the Gezhi War College, the main color is black, and the auxiliary color is red and green. There are a total of eleven people in the team, and the leader is also a middle-aged man, with a hooked nose and triangular eyes, high cheekbones, and a thin and prominent chin. Wu Ling was uncomfortable at the first glance of this person, and felt that there was an evil spirit in this person's bones.

As soon as the three columns appeared, cheers immediately erupted from the stands, and the excited cries of the girls were particularly high-pitched, and some even shouted outright words such as I want to give you a baby. The little fat man beside Harold was also almost crazy, and kept shaking Harold, shouting in his mouth: "It's him, do you see, it's the one with the silver and white one-handed sword, the one at the front of the Imperial War College, he is Sha Baiyu." Today he is ashamed of the snow, I can already feel the fighting intent in his eyes, and it is right to bet him 50,000 yuan today!"

Wu Ling and Harold looked at each other and smiled, it seems that the food and lodging in the past few days depend on this broad.

In the arena, the three columns of teams sat in the long pavilion on the south side of the arena in an orderly manner. Sha Bai Yu and Shi Fang walked directly to the arena with their weapons. Wu Ling likes this kind of procedure very much, does not speak, does not argue, does not sensationalize, and does it directly.

The two appeared on the stage and stood opposite each other, and the noisy market-like stands soon fell silent.

Shi Fang has a bear on his back, his face is dark, he is carrying a huge black steel giant sword, the black, red and green three-color fighting suit is tight on his body, and his body looks like Harold, the only difference is that Shi Fang is a bald head, Wu Ling stabbed Harold, "Look, your brother is on the field." ”

"You are his brother, I will get him this kind of parallel goods in minutes. Harold shouted in protest, and successfully became the focus of the entire martial arts arena, and suddenly there was a sigh around him, and even Sha Baiyu, who was facing away from the stands, looked back at the stands.

"The hero sees the same thing, I am not optimistic about him, their crossing body has just been able to materialize, the battle is more about fighting the body, Sha Baiyu can have a tie with Shi Fang when he does not open the ferry body, with the long-range strike of the fire system, he must finish abusing Shi Fang today. Sha Bai Yu will win!" The fat man thought he had found an alliance, and he was very happy, and put his hand on Harold's shoulder.

The robed old man in the pavilion raised his hand and signaled for the game to begin.

The two looked at each other and bowed slightly, then drew their swords and rose sharply, and a burst of fire suddenly rose from the body of the sand white feather's silver-white sword, and the air around the sword body was instantly distorted by the high temperature. Sha Baiyu held the sword in his right hand, grabbed it in the air with his left hand, and a fist-sized fireball appeared in his hand, without the slightest pause under his feet, and at the same time he strode towards Shi Fang, the fireball came out of his hand, hitting Shi Fang's chest, and the person followed closely with a flame sword, trying to establish a slight advantage with a wave of two attacks.

Seeing this scene, the fat man slammed the railing of the stands and said angrily: "It's too early! It's too early! Sha Baiyu is too anxious!"

Wu Ling visually measured the distance between Sha Bai Yu and the fireball, there were three steps, obviously too far, leaving too much time for Shi Fang to think and move, this was a gorgeous but useless and even counterproductive attack.

In the face of Sha Baiyu's attack, Shi Fang was very calm, the tip of the giant sword stood on the ground, with the heavy sword body of the giant sword as a shield, at the moment when the fireball was coming, he held the hilt of the sword, flew up and kicked on the sword, the whole giant sword drew a huge black arc with the hilt as the axis, and directly flew the fireball racket out, at the moment when the fireball was flown away, Shi Fang lunged down and grabbed the hilt of the sword with both hands, and pulled the almost completely erected giant sword back, and the giant sword slashed down after a short stagnation in the air.

The powerful blow not only disintegrated Sha Bai Yu's attack in an instant, but also swept Sha Bai Yu out horizontally, and Sha Bai Yu retreated nearly ten steps before stopping in embarrassment.

Sha Baiyu's entire right arm was almost completely paralyzed by the shock, he handed the sword to his left hand, shook his right arm, and took back the one-handed sword after a little relief. Sha Baiyu knew very well that his sword was inferior, and his right arm could not attack with a sword for the time being, so he had to adopt guerrilla tactics, and his left hand was concretized by fireballs, constantly wandering to attack the stone side that was trying to approach, buying some time for his right arm.

Shi Fang was helpless, the gold system was a pure melee system, and in the face of the sand white feather fireball delaying tactics, Shi Fang could only open up the distance to increase the dodge space. After all, the cost of being hit by a fireball is too great, burns are different from sword skin injuries, the wound area is large and irregular, the healing is slow and easy to infect, not to mention for the time being, the scar after healing is really not beautiful, and there is a certain obstacle to finding a partner in the future, and if it is serious, the burn may delay the birth of an offspring.

The two of them played back and forth with the "dodgeball" for ten minutes, and Shi Fang dragged the heavy giant sword back and forth to dodge the fireball attack, which consumed a lot of physical strength, and his steps began to become sluggish. Sha Baiyu gradually grasped the initiative on the field with his uninterrupted fireball offensive, and his right arm had fully recovered, and the impatient Sha Baiyu looked at Shi Fang, whose physical strength had declined, and felt that it was time to divide the victory.

"Sha Bai Yu has already lost. Wu Ling looked at Sha Baiyu's movements and said indifferently. As soon as these words came out, they quickly attracted the eyes of the surrounding Sha Baiyu supporters, and the little fat man also glanced sideways at Wu Ling, with a complicated look.

Shi Fang saw that Sha Baiyu gave up swimming and pounced directly, burst into a shout, turned around on the spot with the giant sword as the axis, and then used himself as the axis to drive the giant sword to swing out quickly, and after smashing the two fireballs, he turned around to Sha Baiyu again, only to see that the surface of the black giant sword was instantly covered with golden light, as if it was painted with a layer of shining gold dust. Shi Fang let out a loud cry and threw the giant sword at Sha Bai Yu, who was in mid-air.

"Shi Fang's speed is too fast!" Wu Ling looked at Sha Bai Yu flying in the air, and couldn't help but sigh from the bottom of his heart the strength of Shi Fang's strength, "This sword, if you can't catch it, Sha Bai Yu will lose! Moreover, this sword may not be able to catch it!"

Sha Baiyu looked at the roaring golden giant sword in front of him, and knew that he would be defeated, but he was completely unavoidable in the air, and he had to throw out his sword with all his might, intending to deflect the direction of the giant sword.

With the crisp sound of metal colliding, Sha Bai Yu's silver-white one-handed sword was instantly shattered and split into several pieces under the powerful impact of the giant sword. After the giant sword was hindered, it deflected slightly, and the left arm that grazed Sha Bai Yu flew out at great speed, and the violent air flow directly overturned Sha Bai Yu's whole person and lost his balance, and together with the broken sword, he fell heavily to the ground.

The black greatsword struck like a cannonball, heading towards the stands.

"Get out of the way!

Harold was the first to jump.
