Ryan's self-confidence is very strong, and likewise, the other players around him are also self-confident. If they weren't all very confident, these people wouldn't have participated in this sword skills competition, you know, in the usual sword skills competitions, Parr Comprehensive Academy participated in the competition as a foil, and those who have self-knowledge will not participate in the competition to show their ugliness.

Soon, the four-group game was over, and it was Ryan's turn to play.

Ryan thought about it for a while, according to the draw, in this selection competition, Ryan only needs to play two games and win two, and he can be promoted to represent Parr Comprehensive Academy to participate in the sword skills competition.

"Look, that Ryan is on the field."

"I've never seen his strength, this time I can see how his strength is?"

"It's said that he hasn't been challenged by others, so I wonder if he's bad?"

"That Ryan has just been promoted to a level 3 swordsman, and his opponent is a level 4 peak level swordsman, I think it will be difficult for Ryan to win."

"Even if Ryan wins this one, then he will have to face a level 5 swordsman next time. A level 5 swordsman, two levels higher than him, that's a loss. ”

……

Suddenly, all kinds of bustling discussions filled the entire arena.

Ryan was completely unaffected by these voices, and he had experienced such scenes many times that he had long been accustomed to.

On the contrary, Ryan's opponent, an older young man who was probably over twenty-five years old, was a little nervous when he was affected by the voices of the crowd after taking the court.

Ryan looked at his opponent carefully, at his opponent's age, he should have reached the peak of a level 4 swordsman, otherwise, he would not dare to participate in this selection competition. However, it is not clear what his strength is, and he will have to try to find out.

The referee in the field gave the order, and the game began.

As soon as the words fell, the opponent's level 4 swordsman looked a little anxious, and he didn't wait for Ryan to say a few words, he immediately pulled out his long sword, and then with a "snort", the long sword burst out more than two feet long.

When Ryan saw the opponent's formation, he didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly pulled out his heavy sword, and with the same "snort", a half-foot-long sword appeared.

After a month of Dou Qi cultivation, Ryan's sword mangs have finally changed from the previous two-inch long mangs to the current half-foot long, but they are still quite far from the opponent's swords.

The level 4 swordsman rushed to attack, and looking at his formation, it seemed that he wanted to solve Ryan in three or two clicks. In an instant, I saw a level 4 swordsman swinging a long sword more than two feet long and slashing towards Ryan.

Ryan was not afraid of the opponent's strength, and let out a loud shout, and also swung his heavy sword to meet the opponent's long sword.

With a "bang", the two swords intersected in midair.

After a split second, Ryan was forced back two steps, but his opponent, a level 4 swordsman, did not move.

The level 4 swordsman saw that he could force Ryan back with one move, and he immediately laughed out loud with joy.

Although he was forced to retreat, Ryan's face remained unchanged, and even a slight smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

In fact, this hand-to-hand collision move was deliberately used by Ryan to test the opponent's strength. Although Ryan's vindictiveness was not as good as the other party's and he was forced to take two steps back, Ryan's heart relaxed. Because the opponent's fighting spirit could not overwhelmingly defeat Ryan, then, with Ryan's sword skills, he was confident that he would defeat the other party quickly.

However, Ryan didn't want to defeat the opponent soon, because if he defeated the opponent all at once, then the subsequent opponent would attach great importance to Ryan, and Ryan's sword skills would not be able to win by surprise. Therefore, according to the strategy formulated before, Ryan must show weakness in this game, and it is best to pretend to be lucky to defeat the opponent. In this way, the opponent in the next game will despise Ryan, and Ryan will have a better chance of winning.

After making his decision, Ryan immediately took two steps back, his face changed drastically and he looked surprised.

After repelling Ryan, the level 4 swordsman only paused for a few breaths, and after laughing, he continued to attack.

Chopping, chopping, stabbing, and more than a dozen moves in a row kept attacking Ryan.

Ryan used his body to constantly change directions to dodge back and forth, left and right, and pretended to be very embarrassed.

In fact, among the dozens of moves, Ryan found that three or four of them showed great flaws in the other party. If Ryan fights back against these flaws, although he can't defeat the opponent at once, he can completely interrupt the opponent's offensive rhythm and change from passive to active.

However, in order to show weakness, Ryan had to resist the urge to fight back, and just passively dodged.

More than a dozen moves passed, and Rui An's heart became more clear, with the sword skills displayed by the other party, he really couldn't threaten Rui'an, who used flexible transformation methods.

Now, Ryan's only problem is how to show weakness, and how to be more careful when dodging, don't capsize in the gutter, one is not careful, it is easy to be hit by the other party.

In the blink of an eye, dozens of moves passed, and Ryan was still embarrassed to dodge, and the occasional counterattack with a few moves seemed so weak that it was defused by a level 4 swordsman after a little resistance.

At this time, the audience watching outside the venue was in an uproar again.

"Wow, it turns out that Ryan's strength is so poor, he was beaten to the point that he was powerless to fight back."

"I thought he was very strong, but I didn't expect it to be so bad. It seems that he is only promoted with a fighting spirit, and his other means are very poor. ”

"The strength of a swordsman who has just been promoted to level 3 is still unable to compete with a level 4 swordsman."

……

Most of the people present felt that Ryan's strength was poor and looked down on Ryan. Only a very small number of people have a faint feeling that Ryan is not as simple as it seems. The idea in their hearts is also very simple, if Ryan is really weak, but why has he held out for so long and has not been defeated? There's got to be weird about that.

To be honest, Ryan is extremely exaggerated in order to make his follow-up opponents despise him, which is really a bit shameless. No, in the audience's laughter, Ryan was a loss of face. However, looking at Ryan's appearance, it seems that he doesn't care at all.

Ryan's face is so thick!

Soon, the two exchanged almost a hundred moves, and Ryan became more and more proficient in pretending, still looking miserable and ready to be defeated at any time.

On the contrary, the opponent level 4 swordsman became more and more impatient, and his heart kept thinking, "Why is it so bad?" If you push him harder, you'll hit him. ”

The consumption of the level 4 swordsman's fighting qi is getting bigger and bigger, and he can no longer maintain the sword aura that was more than two feet long at the beginning, and now he only has more than a foot long left. Moreover, his moves are starting to get messy.

"It's almost, it's time to fight back." Rui Anxin said secretly.

Actually, Ryan didn't know that his performance was also very excessive, and the audience who were smarter would still doubt Ryan's strength.

After a few moves, Ryan grabbed a big hole in his opponent's front, flew his right foot violently, and kicked his opponent's face extremely quickly.

Suddenly, the level 4 swordsman was taken aback, he had never encountered an opponent who performed such a move, and in an instant, he hurriedly retreated. It's a pity that the level 4 swordsman's action was already a little late, and he was only able to avoid the front door, but he was still kicked in the chest by Ryan.

As a result, the body of the level 4 swordsman involuntarily flew backwards, "plopped", and fell to the ground fiercely, and blood gushed out of his mouth involuntarily.

Ryan kicked this hard!

Ryan won.

The audience was silent, and they were all stunned.

Some viewers who didn't look carefully and didn't pay attention to it, and found that the level 4 swordsman who had the upper hand and could defeat Ryan at any time suddenly fell to the ground and vomited blood? They haven't figured out what's going on yet.

"What's going on? Why did that level 4 swordsman lose? ”

"Ryan was so lucky to beat his opponent."

"That Ryan is too much, as a swordsman, he actually kicks the opponent with his feet, he really doesn't have the spirit of a swordsman, it's too despicable."

"Sure enough, Ryan did hide his strength, I said, if his strength is very poor, how can he dodge so many moves?"

……

After a brief short-circuit in the minds of the audience, they immediately began to discuss.

Ryan looked at his opponent and saw that his opponent's injuries didn't seem to be very serious, except that he couldn't stand up.

At this point, the referee declared Ryan the winner.

Ryan hurriedly pretended to look in disbelief and tried to deceive everyone present.

It should be said that Ryan's performance was relatively successful, and when Ryan walked off the stage, Ryan found that many other contestants were staring at Ryan with a kind of disdain.

Next, Ryan pretended to be out of breath and stood aside to pretend to regain his fighting spirit, but in fact he was watching the other players' matches.

Two of the next three games went very fast. It was a match between two other level 4 swordsmen, and their opponents were level 5 swordsmen, and they were quickly defeated. One of them was forced to surrender and admit defeat by the blade of the opponent's level 5 swordsman within ten moves, and the other was a little better, but he was still defeated by the opponent in more than twenty moves.

A morning passed, the first round was over, and except for Ryan's accident, the winner of the other matches was undoubtedly a level 5 swordsman.

Next, it's time for all the players to rest. In the afternoon, the remaining 9 players will draw lots for the second round of the competition to determine the 5 representative places.

Then, the crowd dispersed, and so did the contestants. Ryan went back to his dorm, where he needed to recharge his strength and strategize based on the strength of his opponents he had observed in the morning.

According to Ryan's observation in the morning, the level 5 swordsman was not much higher than the level 4 swordsman in other aspects, except for the very threatening sword blade he sent. At least, Ryan hadn't found anyone with very powerful swordsmanship, even more powerful than Ryan's.

Therefore, Ryan's game strategy is how to guard against the opponent's blade.
