In a clearing in the garden, Tanan and Gu Shiyu held a sword in one hand and a shield in the other, and the two of them circled around and observed each other with fierce eyes.

"Guzi, I didn't expect you to openly challenge him!" Tanan said: "Kendal is a battle-hardened warrior, if you purely rely on your fighting skills, there are few people who can surpass him!"

"I don't have time to listen to you too much, you just say that he has an Achilles' heel that allows me to defeat him by the most direct means!"

"Then you have a good look!" Tanan shouted, and the sword slashed over with the sound of wind and thunder!

The sword slashed against the tough shield and rattled.

Under Tanan's fierce attack, Gu Shiyu retreated a few steps in succession, and his hand holding the shield was sore.

"That's his weakness!" Tanan paused.

"Ahh

"It's his strength, but it's also his weakness!" Tanan said: "Kendall's brawny is amazing, he will attack as soon as he comes up! If you choose to fight him, I don't think you'll have much of the upper hand." You must protect your body with a shield, and if your shield is mistaken or even knocked off, that's when you're in a different place!"

"You mean to say that I should avoid attacking him and try to deal with him as much as possible?"

"Yes, although he is amazingly strong, he is an old man after all, and he will not last long if he is too strong. As long as you can withstand his onslaught, his power will gradually weaken. ”

"Okay, come again!" Gu Shiyu shouted and swung his sword to attack Tanan.

On the verandah of the garden, Catherine and Laurel looked at the two in training. Laurel nodded, "I admire this young man, he is very determined. ”

Catherine nodded: "He will not bow his head in the face of any difficulties, maybe this is what attracts him the most." ”

The two in the garden suddenly separated. Gu Shiyu was swept by the feet of Tanan, stumbled, and almost fell.

"The second thing you have to remember: use your whole body as an offensive weapon, not just your hands! your head, shoulders, back, elbows, hips, knees, etc., can be used to attack the enemy!"

"Okay, come again!"

There was another series of sounds of gold and iron. In the midst of the staggered figures, Gu Shiyu took a few steps back, and his nose was already bleeding.

It turned out that although Gu Shiyu held a sword that Tanan slashed down on the head, he was shaken by Tanan's wrist, and the hilt of the sword was hammered, and it hit Gu Shiyu's face fiercely, and Gu Shiyu immediately saw Venus in front of him.

"This is called inch strength! Using the sudden contraction of the arm muscles, it bursts out with devastating power in a short distance!"

"I know this!" Gu Shiyu wiped his nose. He had practiced Wing Chun as a child and knew how to attack Cun Jin. The explosive power generated by this short distance is amazing, but why did he forget it when he was fighting? He took a breath and shouted again:

"Come again, Tanan!"

There was another clanging of swords. Tanan suddenly sped up the pace, and Gu Shiyu was immediately in a hurry, and finally stood firm.

"You have to remember not to adapt yourself to the rhythm of your attack, but to adapt to the rhythm of your attack!

"Tanan, you are much stronger than I imagined!" After being cleaned up by Tanan again and again, Gu Shiyu put away his usual pride and arrogance, and was convinced by Tanan.

"It's not that you're not strong enough, it's just that you're a little lacking in experience and skill. It's like a good sword, which must be tempered by fire and ice. Wipe your face, I don't want to see you bleed before the official game!"

Gu Shiyu picked up the towel on the side and wiped the nosebleed.

Tanan stood aside, looked at him and said, "Guzi, do you think that in order to practice a good sword, is it the fire or the ice water that is the most important?"

"Well, it should be mainly fire, saying that a person is inexperienced, everyone usually says that he is not ready for fire. ”

"You're wrong, both are equally important. If fire is a person's strength and fighting spirit, then ice water is wisdom and experience. The average warrior fights with strength and fighting spirit, and the anger gradually overwhelms their minds, while the more brilliant hero fights with his wits and keeps his mind high at all times!"

"I seem to get it! Thank you, Tanan!"

"When I first debuted in cultivation, I was exactly like you, and I never knew what fear was. Yet the farther I go, the more I feel that we should be in awe. One person's power is limited, whereas wisdom is endless. ”

"I'm going to think hard about everything you've ever said. Gu Shiyu held Tanan's hand and said.

"Then you can use the rest of your time to think about it. By the way, I forgot to tell you, don't try to use magic against Kendall, he has a great resistance to magic, and if possible, use buff magic on himself. ”

Seya stood behind the window and quietly looked at Gu Shiyu, who was meditating in the garden. Of course, she knew what Gu Shiyu wanted to do at the moment. Truth be told, she wants him to win, but she doesn't want him to win. She just looked at him with a very conflicted feeling, motionless.

It's not just Saiya who is secretly observing Gu Shiyu, but also a few of Kendall's personal guards. When they ran back to report to Kendall, Kendall was happy: "I knew he couldn't do it! He was about to start fighting, but he was still practicing how to fight! Isn't this sharpening his sword in battle? What can he learn in such a short time? It would be nice to sharpen his sword a little bit!"

By the time the sun was shining overhead, the arena of Tekken Castle was already bustling with people. Tickets to watch the game were sold out long ago, and those who didn't have tickets had to crane their necks and listen to the loud noise coming from inside the arena.

In the beginning, the festival was carried out. Dressed shamans carry statues of the gods around the arena to receive worship from all beings.

At the sound of the earth-shattering horn, Kendall appeared in heavy armor. He raised his heavy sword and strode into the middle of the field.

"Remember what I told you!" Tanan patted Gu Shiyu on the shoulder and said, "Don't lose your mind because of impulsiveness, use your wisdom to fight him!"

Gu Shiyu nodded and walked into the arena with his head held high.

The rain in the cheering valley seems to be louder than the cheering Kendall, which makes Kendall a little unhappy. He really wanted to throw these disobedient people into prison, but now he should first teach the guy on the other side who dared to challenge him, and beat him honestly and obediently in the future.

Listening to the loud voices of people resounding in the sky, Kendall's blood was already boiling. He swung his sword back and forth at his side, listening to the sound of the blade slicing through the air. It was the sound he admired the most, and there was no melody in the world that could compare to it!

"Boy, the sword is ruthless!" Kendal shouted to Gu Shiyu: "I can only promise to give my daughter back a living person as much as possible, but I can't guarantee that you will lack arms and legs!"

"Come on, let you see the power of the Chosen One!" Gu Shiyu slid off the mask of his helmet and jumped high!

When the two swords struck for the first time, sparks bloomed in all directions, and the cheers of the people in the arena reached their peak.

On the rostrum sat Princess Saiya, who was about to be crowned to the throne, and she held the dazzling necklace hanging from her long snow-white neck tightly with her hand, and she did not feel the slightest pain even when the diamond-grade horns on the necklace pierced the soft skin of her palm.

"Don't be too nervous, Saiya!" Her Majesty pulled her hand down from her chest, and then gently wiped the blood from her palm with a white handkerchief.

The bright red blood soaked through the white handkerchief, like a few peach blossoms blooming in the snow.

"I told your father that if he dared to make my future son-in-law lose arms and legs, I would pour poison into his food and wine glass!"

"Mother, I...... I can't get used to the atmosphere here!" Saiya's face turned pale: "Watching them fight in the arena, my heart is about to jump out of my throat!"

"Why don't you go and rest first?" said Her Majesty the Queen, looking at her with concern.

"I've got to stay here! I'd be even more worried if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes!"

"Then you drink the water first!" Her Majesty raised her hand, and a maid immediately handed over a cup of cool spring water.

Seya took a small sip and held the empty cup tightly in his hand. There were even a few clear green tendons under the skin on the back of her hand, like a few long leeches lying there.

Catherine and Laurel were also nervous. Tanan sat beside them and comforted, "Guzi is quite smart, I think he still has a chance to win!"

Tanan was right! Just as Gu Shiyu used his shield to block Kendall's first sword, he felt Kendall's amazing power. The shield hummed and trembled under Kendall's slash, like his trembling eardrums.

He immediately remembered the duel between his best friend Yolande and Mad Knife in the Lost Lands. The mad knife was also powerful, and even used a double axe to split Yoland's dwarven shield into pieces. With his long endurance, Yolande kept moving around the side of the Crazy Knife, and finally exhausted the Crazy Knife and won the final victory.

It seems that he should follow Yolander's example! Gu Shiyu used magic to speed up himself, spinning around Kendall's side, and from time to time he took advantage of the gap to slash out a few swords. But Kendall was much smarter than the Crazy Knife, he didn't chase Gu Shiyu, but stood firmly in the middle of the formation, like a solid rock towering in the stormy waves.

Slowly, Kendall has mastered Gu Shiyu's offensive rhythm. With a furious lunge, he knocked Gu Shiyu who was in motion out of the air.

"Hahahaha!" Kendall laughed, "I'm sure you'll get to this position!"

"Fight me honestly, don't play any tricks with me! Your little eyes have been used by someone a long time ago, I won't fall for you!"

Gu Shiyu got up from the yellow sand and spit out the sand in his mouth. Damn Kendall, you're such an old fox!

"I don't think you can run at all, Kendall!" Gu Shiyu sneered: "Look at your big belly, alas! It's as big as an old sow's belly!"

"Why should I run? I'll just stand here, swing my sword a few times, and you'll be lying in the sand and gnawing on the sand again!"

Tanan frowned secretly at the sight. He didn't expect Kendall to be so cunning, he gave the impression that he was calm and relaxed, and he didn't take Gu Shiyu seriously at all.

"Hit him with the tears of the gods!" shouted Catherine.

Gu Shiyu may have heard her scream. He immediately moved away from Kendall, and the Tears of the Gods were already in his hands.

Kendall was taken aback. He knew that Gu Shiyu had this divine bow, and he was very jealous. He immediately raised his shield and stared intently at Gu Shiyu's every move.

His keen gaze immediately caught a hint of a dark red glow. It's just that the arrow came so fast that it didn't give him enough time to react. He subconsciously raised his shield, and the magic arrow immediately shot the shield through, and the tail of the arrow trembled on the shield.

Kendal swept away the long arrow embedded in the shield with a sword, and shouted, "You boy, do you want to kill me?!"

The answer to him was Gu Shiyu's second Tears of the Gods. Kendall finally froze and began to run like a swift cheetah, trying to get close to Gu Shiyu from the side.

The audience who supported Gu Shiyu began to get excited. They shouted "The Chosen One" in unison, and Catherine and Laurel couldn't help but shout along, and the louder they went.

Only Tanan's expression remained serious. He knew that the tears of the gods did not need arrows, and every arrow shot was made with the blood and energy of Gu Shiyu.

In other words, the more arrows Gu Shiyu shoots, the weaker he will be!

He hoped that Gu Shiyu could understand that the Tears of the Heavenly God should be left at the end, and wait for Kendall to slow down before making the fatal blow, not now.

Gu Shiyu laughed loudly at Kendal while exercising: "Are your legs trembling, Kendall? sweat should have flowed into your eyes, I know it will be very uncomfortable." Your back should be covered with sweat, right? It should have soaked through your underwear...... You'll have to change your clothes, or you're going to catch a cold!"

"I wish your swordsmanship could be as good as your eloquence!" Kendall was indeed a little tired. He shouted, "I'll see how many arrows you kid can shoot!" You'd better not let me catch up, or you'll find that all your front teeth have been knocked out in the sand!"

Damn the sun!, Kendall cursed in a low voice. His throat was already dry, and it would be nice to have a sip of wine at this point!

Gu Shiyu was also cursing the sun. Damn, can't you just go faster in the sky? He was desperate to find a good position to attack so that the light could shine into Kendall's eyes so he couldn't see the arrows coming at him. But the sun is like a small snail, slowly crawling in the sky.

How many arrows had he already shot? I don't know, maybe twenty, right? When he felt the blood in his belly, he knew he couldn't shoot any more! Otherwise, he wouldn't have to wait for Kendall to catch up with him, and he would have fallen to the ground from exhaustion.

Kendall snorted as he ran, his pace slowing down significantly.

"Come on, old Kendall, I'm waiting for you here!" Gu Shiyu put away his bow, drew his sword again, and pulled up his shield.

"You kid don't run, wait for me to beat you up!"

Gu Shiyu really didn't run. But when Kendall wasn't far from him, he suddenly came into a rampage!

He didn't expect this kid to be so scheming, and he thought he would wait for him to come and run away to avoid confronting him!

As soon as Kendall's back touched the ground, he immediately saw Gu Shiyu leaping high, and the long sword drew a dazzling arc under the reflection of the sun!

Kendall couldn't care less about his dignity as a king!, and he immediately rolled on the ground, but he still hadn't forgotten to dance a few sword flowers around him with his long sword.

A wisp of blood splattered out and sprinkled on top of the hot yellow sand.

"Oh my God!" erupted in loud regret in the arena.

Gu Shiyu didn't expect Kendall to forget to fight back in such an embarrassing situation. His shield was tightly guarded in front of him, but the attack came from below, and he couldn't stop it, and a deep wound had been cut on his thigh by Kendall's blade. His feet went limp, and he squatted half-crouched with his sword, and Kendall had taken advantage of the situation to straighten up.

Princess Saiya and Catherine stood up in horror with their mouths wide open!

"Come on, fight me face to face like a real man!" Kendall gasped like a cow.

It's only now that the people of the arena have seen the two actually play against each other, rather than appreciating a game of cat and mouse.

It's just that every sword they wield is like thunder! Where is this still a merciful contest? It is clearly a hand-to-hand fight to the death!

Her Majesty the Queen also saw it! She stood up nervously and said to Seya, "You must stop them at once, or one of them will surely die!"

"How to stop it?" Princess Saiya panicked: "This is the first time I've entered the arena to watch the game, what method should I use to stop them?"

"Order the Trumpeter to blow the trumpet immediately!

"Hurry!" Princess Saiya anxiously ordered the commander of the Royal Guard beside her.

"Your Royal Highness, please forgive me for not being able to take your orders, the Royal Guard is only under the command of His Majesty the King!" the Commander of the Guard bowed.

"I'm not today, but I'm tomorrow! If you don't obey my orders, tomorrow I may consider changing the commander of the Royal Guard!"

“...... As you wish!" The Commander of the Guard bowed and began to issue orders.

The deafening sound of horns silenced the clamor and shouts of the people in the stands. Groups of elite warriors in bright armor with spears in their hands ran into the arena in unison at the commander's command.

What happened? People in the stands stood up and whispered to each other.

Princess Saiya was stunned, then raised her hand slightly, motioned for the people to sit down, and announced loudly: "I, I, Saiya Einfast, in my capacity as the crown prince of Erathia, solemnly declare: The result of this competitive match is a draw!"

The people in the stands applauded.

"What a clever princess Saia!" Tanan looked at her approvingly, clapping along.

Catherine also looked at Saiya gratefully. Although she desperately hoped that Gu Shiyu could win, when this competition turned into a life-and-death battle, her heart kept clenching, especially when she saw Gu Shiyu limping and struggling to fight back.

She hopes that Gu Shiyu wins, but she never wants Gu Shiyu to die because of this! A draw should be the best result now!

But this means that he will lose Gu Shiyu forever!!

While everyone was clapping vigorously, Catherine and Laurel lowered their heads and quietly left the rostrum.

"Looks like Princess Saiya cares about you!" Kendall grinned, "You should be glad to be able to marry her!"

"She's afraid I'll kill you!" Gu Shiyu stood on the ground road in despair.

Kendall spat a mouthful of blood on the ground, which was knocked out by Gu Shiyu with the hilt of his sword. He put his fingers in his mouth and pulled out a few crumbling teeth. He said hatefully, "Fuck! I didn't even hit you in the face, how can you hit me? But then again, it's the best fight I've had in decades!"

Gu Shiyu ignored him, and he set his eyes on the rostrum. He wanted to see Catherine, but ...... What kind of gaze would she look at herself, was it disappointment, sadness, or resentment?

But he did not see Catherine in the crowd. It was Princess Saiya's affectionate eyes that bravely met his gaze......

"I'm defeated!" Gu Shiyu's nose soured.

"You should be glad that you are the first person not to be defeated by me in a gladiatorial fight, and you are still alive! Even if you are defeated by me, it is not a big deal, who called me the number one warrior of Erathia!"

Gu Shiyu gave him a blank look. What do you know about you bad old man? How many people in the world can understand what I'm thinking at the moment?

The people in the stands did not leave. They all stood up and clapped rhythmically.

"Hail to the Great Chosen One!" shouted from the crowd!

"To the greatest Prince Regent of Erathia!"

"Lead us into battle, Great Chosen One!"
