Chapter 122: Selection
Ryan estimated that these two prizes, if purchased in the academy library, were estimated to cost at least more than a hundred gold coins, and even if they were more than two hundred gold coins, it was not impossible.
"If you earn it, you will gain if you lose it, and you still make it." Ryan muttered to himself.
After some excitement, Ryan forced himself to adjust his mood and calm himself down. He needs to think carefully about how to win the sword martial arts competition in a month's time.
That's a very difficult question!
As a level 3 swordsman, it is not impossible to defeat a level 5 swordsman in one or two games, but if you have to defeat a level 5 swordsman in every game, and you have to defeat about ten level 5 swordsmen in a row, it is simply impossible.
However, Ryan must not be discouraged, and now there is only one way to go to Huashan.
In a month, if you want to improve your fighting spirit, you can't improve much. So if Ryan wants to break through himself, then he must find a way to do it in sword skills.
Ryan remembered the mercenary tournament he had participated in before, and at that time, Ryan had defeated many opponents by leapfrogging with a yin stick and leg technique. Now he uses the basic sword technique of the epee, absorbing some of the characteristics of the stick method, but he rarely uses the leg method. Therefore, the first place that Ryan thought of to practice was to use the leg technique, which was best integrated into the sword technique.
The second place to cultivate is the explosion of fighting energy in the low-level sword technique secret book that you just obtained, and it must also be integrated into the sword technique.
As for the other prize, the low-level epee, it is not used in the sword skill competition, because the competition is usually with a special competition sword.
The third place that Ryan thought of to practice was to hurry up and go to class and learn how to use the sword. For the sake of this sword, he did not hesitate to expose his strength to participate in the competitive assessment, so no matter what, he must learn. And it also has to be integrated into sword skills.
After thinking about it for a long time, Ryan formulated a strict cultivation plan for the next month. In this cultivation plan, Ryan spent almost all of his time on cultivation, which was much more time than Ryan's usual day and night cultivation.
Once the plan was decided, Ryan thought about the strategy he would use during the race.
Ryan summed up his previous experience in mercenary tournaments and found that his swordsman level was much lower than others, which was certainly a big disadvantage, but it was not an advantage. Many opponents with a higher rank than Ryan, especially a level 5 swordsman who is two levels higher, will habitually despise Ryan. In this case, it gives Ryan a good opportunity.
In many previous games, it was because the opponent despised Ryan and lost miserably to Ryan. So Ryan decided to try to make his opponent despise him in future games, so that he would have more chances.
As for other game strategies, Ryan thought about it a little more, but whether it has any effect depends on the performance on the field to know.
The next day, Ryan couldn't wait to head to fourth-grade classes.
Unexpectedly, when Ryan came to the classroom, it caused a sensation again. As a result, Ryan received more than a dozen challenges within half a day, and Ryan had to reject them one by one. To be honest, Ryan really didn't want to fight them, because as soon as they started, these challenges would become more in the future.
In addition to the challenge, many students came to make friends, and then asked Ruian what tricks he had in his cultivation, whether he had a good fighting spirit secret, and so on. These things annoyed Ryan and gave him a great headache.
It took Ryan half a day to get rid of the annoying classmates before he had time to learn how to use the sword.
Now that Ryan has become a celebrity, he has the advantage that he can always ask the teacher how to learn how to cast the sword, and then let the teacher open a small stove for him alone.
It took half a day for Ryan to learn how to cast the sword. Of course, it's just learning, and you have to practice before you can be considered learned.
The method of casting the sword is not very complicated, and Ryan, who has experience in Dou Qi cultivation, learned it in three days.
As soon as he learned it, the sword rays emitted by Ryan, when he exerted his maximum fighting spirit, the length of the sword rays was only more than two inches long. However, Ryan believed that after another month of Dou Qi cultivation, by the time of the competition, the length of this sword was estimated to reach half a foot long. It's a little short, but it's better than nothing.
After cultivating the sword mang, Ryan continued to practice the Dou Qi Explosion Method on the low-level sword skill secret that was rewarded, but it took Ryan almost ten days to learn it.
In the past ten days, Ruian did not use it alone to cultivate Dou Qi, he also spent a lot of energy to integrate the leg technique, sword mang, and Dou Qi explosion into the basic sword technique. As a result, when Ryan finished cultivating, his fighting spirit exploded, and his basic sword skills were also improved.
The new basic sword technique is still thirty-six moves, but it is no longer a single sword move from before, but a routine move that combines several simple moves, which is extremely powerful.
This set of sword skills can no longer be called basic sword skills, because its complexity is much more complicated than the low-level sword skills secrets that Ryan has seen. Ryan wanted to change the name of this set of sword skills, but after thinking about it for a long time, he couldn't come up with a good name, so he finally had to give up the idea of changing the name, and it was still called basic sword skills.
Ryan estimated slightly, in terms of sword skills, Ryan at least increased his power by three or four times.
At the same time, Ryan's previously improved body technique was also integrated into his sword skills, although he could not achieve 100% fusion. But when the two are combined, the power rises dramatically.
In the next ten days or so, Ryan basically used to familiarize himself with the new basic sword skills and body techniques, and even the time for Dou Qi cultivation was much less.
The days flew by, and soon it was the first three days of the Sword Skill Competition, which was the day of the Parr Comprehensive Academy Trials.
For almost a month, Rui was immersed in cultivation, but it was not absolute, every ten days, Ryan went to find Yaseline, and hurriedly chatted with Yaselyn for a while before coming back.
Ryan was afraid that if he didn't go to Yaseline for a month, Yaseline would forget about Ryan, so he had to take some time to cultivate and go to Yaseline.
In these few meetings, Yaceline has been very good to Ryan, and the two have talked and laughed when chatting. Perhaps, after setting conditions for Ryan, Yatherine thought that Ryan would never be able to meet it, so she made up Ryan.
The improvement of Yaseline's attitude made Ryan full of motivation and confidence, and as a result, he practiced even harder.
On this day, Ryan came to the academy's arena early in the morning, and the academy's arena was very large, much larger than the grade arena that Ryan usually went to. The arena is fenced in a large circle, and outside the fence are stepped seats. The number of seats is large, and there are more than a thousand seats as far as the eye can see.
Ryan found that there were more than a dozen players who looked like they had signed up for the competition in the arena, and hundreds of spectators were sitting and watching scattered outside the arena.
"Look! Ryan, who is known as the fastest to advance, is also here to participate in the tryouts! Someone in the audience suddenly saw Ryan stepping into the entrance and couldn't help but scream. Soon, all the spectators knew that Ryan was in the game, and there was a commotion.
Ryan stepped forward to learn some details, and after being introduced by the staff, he roughly understood the situation of the tryouts.
A total of 17 students from Pal College signed up for this sword competition, while there were only five places for Pal College to participate in the sword competition. In other words, seventeen people have to compete for five places.
Among these seventeen people, there are thirteen level 5 swordsmen, three level 4 swordsmen, and one level 3 swordsman in Ryan. But among so many people, Ryan is the most famous.
The audience watching from the sidelines found that Ryan, who has been in the limelight recently, also came to participate in the trials, and immediately pointed at Ryan and began to discuss. However, the vast majority of people are not optimistic about Ryan, because Ryan's opponent is too strong, and it is almost impossible for Ryan to defeat his opponent by crossing the two levels.
Ryan waited for a quarter of an hour, the number of people arrived, and the game officially began.
After the staff in charge of the selection tournament introduced the contestants, they began to draw lots for all the contestants.
As a result, except for one lucky winner, who drew a bye, the remaining eight pairs had to play against each other.
Ryan's luck was not so good, naturally he was not the one who drew the bye, but his luck was not bad, and he actually drew one of the three level 4 swordsmen as an opponent.
Soon, the game began.
Pairs of players take turns to play in turn.
Rui is in the fifth group, so he can see the strength of the other players on the side.
watched the first group of games, it was a pair of level 5 swordsmen duel, and the two swords exchanged swords, which was exciting. However, Ryan breathed a sigh of relief: "Level 5 swordsmen are not as powerful as they imagined, if all level 5 swordsmen are at this level, I still have a chance." ”
Of course, this is just Ryan's thoughts.
From the fight between the pair of level 5 swordsmen in the field, Ryan could see that they obviously lacked combat experience, so in addition to the threatening blades they issued, their other sword skills, body skills, and defense were simply useless.
However, when Ryan saw the second set of matches, he reversed his previous thoughts. Because the strength of this group of two people is a level higher than that of the two people in the previous group. The most important thing is that it can be seen that the two of them have extremely rich fighting experience, are very proficient in sword skills, and the two of them are skilled in the use of sword blades.
Rui Anxin muttered, "That's right!" This is the true strength of a level 5 swordsman, and it seems that my future is less auspicious. ”
Although he thought this in his heart, Ryan's confidence did not waver, and he was still full of fighting spirit. In terms of sword skills, Ryan is not afraid of these level 5 swordsmen.
