144 Outer Court Tournament Begins!
To be honest, Luo Li, who has served as a tutor in the Sword Martial Arts Academy for many years, is the first time he has seen someone who can only use two swordsmanship...... No, it should be correct that there should be only one, because basic swordsmanship is not swordsmanship at all.
But while being speechless, Luo Li was also quite surprised.
When a warrior fights with others, he mainly relies on two originals, one is the cultivation realm, which is the foundation, and the other is the fighting skill, which is the means. If you don't have a deep enough cultivation, you will lack a foundation, and no matter how gorgeous your combat skills are, it's just a showcase, but if you only have cultivation without a trace of combat skills, it will also become an embarrassing situation where you have nowhere to go.
Therefore, cultivating both the realm and combat skills is the royal way.
However, Lin Xue was able to defeat an opponent of the same level as him, or even a little higher than him, with just one set of the lowest Chen-level mortal sword technique, what did this mean?
If Lin Ze can learn more advanced swordsmanship, how far will his combat power reach?
Thinking of this, Luo Li instinctively became excited, and it was not until this moment that she finally realized Lin Ze's potential, and also gave birth to the urge to train Lin Ze well.
"It's not enough! it's not enough to rely on a set of Yanyun swordsmanship, what you need most now is swordsmanship!" Luo Li said suddenly.
"Swordsmanship?" Lin Xue was stunned for a moment, and then said in embarrassment, "But I'm trying my best to turn my sword intent into swordsmanship, if I go to practice other swordsmanship, won't I give up my roots?"
Luo Li shook his head, "If you have already learned advanced swordsmanship, and then you go to practice other swordsmanship, it is true that you will abandon the basics, but the problem is that you only have one set of lowest-level swordsmanship now, which is meaningless at all." You must know that the more advanced the swordsmanship, it will not only bring you high combat power, but also an understanding of swordsmanship, but with your current situation...... I can even say that I don't know what swordsmanship is!"
"You haven't understood the mystery of swordsmanship, which is one of the reasons why you can't turn sword intent into swordsmanship, understand?"
"Ahh
Looking at his expression, Luo Li could certainly guess his thoughts, and said, "Actually, you don't have to be too annoyed, at least after this month of cultivation, your foundation has been built deeper and deeper, and it is not without benefits." And it's not too late to understand it now......"
After a pause, Luo Li Zhengse said: "That's it, from now on, I will pass on your strongest sword technique - Nine Turns Storm Sword Technique." ”
"Nine Turns Storm Sword Technique?"
Lin Ze's heart moved, and then he saw that Luo Li had already held the long sword in his hand, and only heard her say: "The Nine Turns Storm Sword Technique belongs to the top grade of the star, but it is rigid and soft, and it has nine changes of will, each time it changes, the power will increase by one point, and if it can complete the nine turns of change, it will be infinitely powerful...... Look at it!"
As he spoke, Luo Li's sword momentum had already risen, and Lin Ze suddenly felt a strong wind blowing towards him, and instinctively wanted to resist. But before he could make any moves, Luo Li's sword heat suddenly turned, and the wind had already turned into a gentle breeze, quietly blowing past him.
"This is the first change, and then the second change!"
With Luo Li's soft shout, the breeze that was harmless to humans and animals just now turned into a terrifying tornado in an instant, roaring and raging, and the entire dormitory clicked, and even Lin Xue tried his best to barely resist the tornado's attack.
"The third change!"
In the end, Luo Li rose from the ground and slashed down with a sword.
Then, the terrifying tornado was split in half!
That's right, Lin Zeqing clearly saw that the tornado was split, and it took a long time before it gradually dissipated.
Luo Li only swung three swords and then stopped, it was not that she would not be behind, but this place was simply not enough for her to let go of her hands and feet to perform the Nine Turns Terrifying Wind Sword Technique. But just these three swords had already shocked Lin Ze.
Although before this, he had also seen more advanced powers, such as the battle between Qin Shen and Wu Zhan, and the battle between the Time Witch and Ji Shuiyue, but that level was too advanced for him, and he could only watch the excitement. But at this moment, he could truly appreciate the power of Luo Li's Nine Turns Frightening Sword Technique.
"From now on, you put aside other things for the time being, and concentrate on cultivating the first three changes of the Nine Turns Storm Sword Technique. As long as you can learn these three changes, your strength will be at least several times higher, and at the same time, you will be able to understand the mysteries of swordsmanship more deeply...... Of course, the sword intent room once every seven days still has to go, and that can't be missed. Luo Zheng put away his sword and said with a straight face.
"Yes, thank you, mentor!" replied Lin Ze respectfully.
So, for the next period of time, Lin Xue began to concentrate on cultivating the Nine Turns of the Terrifying Wind Sword Technique, and whenever he encountered a problem, he went to ask Luo Li, who knew everything about it, and said everything.
Even, every few days, even if Lin Xue didn't go, Luo Li would come to check on Lin Ze's progress.
It can also be seen from this that she attaches great importance to Lin Ze.
Under Luo Li's teaching, Lin Xue felt that his strength was improving rapidly every day, and it was only at this time that he finally understood what the difference between having a mentor and not having a mentor was, and he was really a little bit ignorant before.
Of course, while his strength was improving, Lin Xue finally personally experienced Luo Li's strictness, which made him suffer enough, and finally understood the reason why those students of the Eighteenth Academy respected and feared Luo Li.
On the other hand, Lin Xue, the cultivation of the Sword Intent Room, did not fall behind, and he was trained to death every time.
However, feeling the rapid growth of his own strength, there was nothing more happy than this made Lin Ze.
...... Time flies quickly, two months have passed in a blink of an eye, and today is the day of the competition in the outer court.
Lin Ze got up early, and after cultivating and recuperating in the house for half an hour, he got up and walked towards the academy square.
When Lin Ze came to the square, he was frightened by the spectacular scene here...... The original martial arts arena on the square is no longer there, but is divided into many rings according to the region, and countless people are surrounding these rings to draw lots, and the crowds are crowded, and it is impossible to tell who is who from a distance.
Of course, this is normal, after all, the Sword Martial Arts Academy has nearly 100,000 students from the outer courtyard, even if the academy has already divided the arena into four regions, southeast, northwest and northwest, there are still some students who cannot participate, but there are still about 20,000 people in each region, plus the staff of the competition...... Tens of thousands of people gathered together, and those who have never seen it can't imagine what kind of scene it is.
"Lin Ze, why are you only here now? There is your game today!" Soon, Lin Ze heard a familiar voice, turned his head and went, and saw not far away, Luo couldn't help but stare at him.
Luo Li's side, the students of the Eighteenth Academy are basically there.
"I'm sorry, I practiced in the house for a while. Lin Ze hurriedly stepped forward.
"Okay, let's go and draw lots. ”
"Yes. ”
Subsequently, Lin Xue squeezed into the crowded army of lots.
The competition of the Sword Martial Arts Academy is divided into four divisions and three competition systems, the four divisions are the four squares of the southeast, northwest and northwest, and each academy draws lots two days before the competition to select the region of the competition, and then each competition area has fifty rings. The three tournaments are a knockout round, a qualifier and a final.
Lin Ze, who is located in the East Division, is going to participate in the knockout round today.
In addition, the tutors of each academy can recommend three students to directly enter the qualifiers, and these people do not need to participate in the knockout rounds as the seeded players of the qualifiers, and the seeded players of the 18th academy are Lin Xue, Jiang Na and Huang Meng...... Of course, if you are in the top 10 in the last competition and you don't make it to the inner court, you can directly participate in the finals.
Lin Zhi didn't become a seeded player, not that Luo Li thought he was weaker than these three, but that Lin Zhi was competing for the first time, and in Luo Li's opinion, it would be better to let him practice in the knockout round.
The lottery ceremony went on very quickly, it ended in less than half an hour, after all, everyone drew a lot and left, it didn't take much time at all, when Lin Ze returned to the resting place of the Eighteenth Academy, someone immediately asked, "What is the number drawn?"
Lin Ze smiled, "Good luck, it's number one." ”
No. 1 is in the first ring, and people from No. 1 to No. 250 will compete in this ring, and there are three qualifier seeds in this ring, but only one will eventually make it to the next round.
"Damn, you turned out to be the number one!" Hearing his words, Huang Meng suddenly exclaimed, "I also happen to be in the first ring, it seems that in the qualifiers, we have to 'die' one." ”
Not only him, but also several students from the Eighteenth Academy were also in the No. 1 ring, and these people were all sad...... First they had to meet Lin Ze in the knockout round, and then they would meet Huang Meng in the qualifiers, and they were already destined to be eliminated before the game even started.
In this regard, Lin Ze spread his hands, and could only express helplessness.
Fortunately, Lin Xue and Jiang Na are in the ring behind, at least in the qualifiers for the final battle of the four regions, which can be regarded as a great luck in misfortune.
Presiding over this knockout match was the vice president of the Sword Martial Arts Academy, a burly middle-aged man, who didn't talk too much nonsense, just said a few opening remarks as usual, and immediately started the knockout round.
As the No. 1 player, Lin Ze was naturally the first to play, but there were forty-nine people who entered the first ring with him.
The knockout round is not a one-man battle, but a big melee of 50 people, and only the last "surviving" person will advance to the next round of qualifiers.
When the horn of the start of the game sounded, the fifty people in the ring, except for Lin Xue, were immediately divided into several groups in twos and threes, and then waited for the opportunity to observe.
In such a big scuffle, although only one person can win, it is very unwise to be alone from the beginning, and it is easy to become the target of others, and then be excluded in the first place.
A short alliance is most likely to be fought to the end.
Obviously, except for Lin Ze, the other forty-nine people are already very experienced in the knockout round.
Of course, Lin Xue, who was alone, also became the first object of everyone's exclusion.
