In the center of the venue, Philip respectfully saluted the vice principal Tyron, and then looked at the giant man opposite, Boris Kidman, a child of the Giant Bear Division, a genius boy who awakened at the age of 18.

At this moment, Boris looked at Philip, who was nearly a head shorter than him, and stared at him, as if he wanted to figure out how this little guy in front of him had the courage to challenge him, the number one master of the Green Tree Vine Intermediate Military Academy.

The shield in his hand was an inch thick and the size of a tabletop, but at the moment it was carried lightly by him in one hand, and it seemed that there was no trace of weight.

Philip boasted that he couldn't be as relaxed as he was, so he put away a hint of casualness and his face became serious.

Taryn was also observing Philip, as a third-level awakened person and former brigade commander of the Giant Bear Division, the unique smell of the awakened man in front of him couldn't escape his eyes.

It was a fluctuation of full mental power leakage, but now it was very restrained, and only a trace leaked out, indicating that the teenager had completed the transformation and adapted to his new identity.

"Today's competition, until the point, it is allowed to wear armor, but not metal weapons.

One side falls or surrenders as the criterion for judging the victory, and in order to avoid unnecessary injuries, I will decide whether to interrupt or not according to the situation.

I have secured the consent of Earl Snape of the Lion Division and Count Hackson of the Bear Division as referees.

At the same time, there are medical priests on standby outside the field, but I don't want to have a chance to use them.

Do you two have any objections?"

Philip nodded in understanding, and was about to put on the armor, but heard Boris on the other side say: "Teacher Tyron, since it is for the competition, why don't we all change into the armor for the competition, and the real sword and gun will be compared, so that he can feel the rules of the game, so as not to have no chance in the future." ”

As if he had been prepared, with a wave of Wesley's hand, several staff members brought in two large boxes and placed them on the sidelines.

Philip raised his eyebrows, ignoring Boris's provocation, but glanced at Bruce in agreement.

Since everyone has prepared according to his body size, it doesn't hurt to try, and it can't be wasted on other people's hard work.

The purpose of the competition is not to kill people, hundreds of teenagers gathered in the imperial capital, all of them are elite seeds selected from various regions, and they will carry the backbone of the imperial defense in the future, how can they be allowed to fight with real knives and guns, and consume them here needlessly.

It's just that the sword has no eyes after all, and the dead may not be, but when the blood is on the head, it is not appropriate to cut off the hands and feet.

Therefore, the organizing committee of the competition has found another way and specially developed a kind of armor, which can not only ensure sufficient protection, but also judge the victory or defeat of the competition at a glance.

This armor is made of the same milky white stone that Philip measured during his dynamometer, and uses its ability to change color when subjected to force to determine the effect of attacks.

However, not all armor sets are made of this stone, but based on ordinary armor, several points are set on the chest, limbs, and head, which can be regarded as effective hitting parts.

After all, the malleability of this stone is not suitable for making complex armor, and it only works well against blunt force, but it cannot resist sharp cutting.

The tournament-specific weapons are also specially treated, with no blades and a special coating.

Without affecting the center of gravity, all the force of the blow is converted into blunt force, and even the head of the arrow is replaced with a round head.

The safety and fairness of the competition are guaranteed to the greatest extent.

Philip was fully dressed, jumped a few times, moved his hands and feet, and felt no different from the armor he usually wore.

He picked a three-level standard bow with twenty arrows in his quiver, and tried them on several melee weapons one by one.

His previous sidearms are no longer usable, they are too light, and he has not yet customized his own rare-level exclusive weapons, so he can only temporarily choose the right weight and feel.

In the end, he chose a standard version of the heavy broadsword, which was one and a half meters long and four and a half inches wide, made of a special alloy, and weighed about 240 kilograms, about three times the weight of his previous sword.

But if he turns on the ability, the weight is a bit light.

It doesn't matter, that's it.

Philip came to the middle of the field and stood up, and Boris on the opposite side chose a combination of one-handed sword and shield in a decent manner, but compared with Philip's two-handed broadsword, it looked no different except that the handle was a little shorter.

Philip, who was originally tall and strong, looked like a skinny child in front of Boris, who looked more like a monster than a man when he was fully armed, and seemed to have no chance of winning.

But Philip will not be stupid to compete with him, and the outcome is still unknown.

The rules of the game are simple, the scoring points on the limbs, each counts as one point, the two scoring points on the chest and back, each counts as two points, and the scoring points on the helmet count as three points.

As long as the opponent scores four points first, even if he is defeated, he must immediately withdraw from the battle sequence in the official match and be asked out of the playing field by the referee.

Malicious blows to the throat, genitals and back of the head are not allowed, otherwise the referee will stop the game and determine that the attacker has failed.

The rules are fairly fair, and although they are very different from the real battlefield fights, they can ensure the safety and enjoyment of the game.

There are several attack combinations to choose from, and the usual choice is two in the chest and limbs so that you can score enough points.

Of course, you can also attack the forehead directly, but the scoring points there are too narrow, and it takes not only strength but also a bit of luck to hit accurately.

These slabs are specially selected to change color for a long time after receiving an attack, and there is no change from light to dark.

In other words, when the energy accumulated on the slate exceeds a certain limit, it will switch between pure red, orange, yellow and green, and when it turns green, it also means that the opponent has scored this point.

According to Philip's estimates, with the help of weapon bonuses, an unawakened ordinary student needs 3-5 heavy hits to turn the stone green.

And an awakened person like him, without opening the ability, needs a heavy blow.

If you turn on the ability, or even just gently wipe the edge, you can kill it instantly.

Of course, the damage of the bow and arrow is calculated separately, which depends not only on the quality of the player himself, but also on the strength of the bow chosen.

Philip's three-level standard bow is suitable for melee combat up to 150 meters, and is powerful, small, agile, and extremely fast, making it ideal for such a limited field of play.

"You'd better give it your all, boy. Boris struck the shield with the blade of his sword, and with a sonorous golden sound, he said to Philip.

The giant man with a beard and a fierce face, but his voice did not sound rough, which made people realize that this was really an 18-year-old boy, not an uncle who was dozens of years old.

Philip nodded and kindly reminded, "Watch your head, big man." ”

Once again, Taryn confirms that both men are ready, and backs away to announce the start of the match.

Both men stared into each other's eyes, neither of them acting rashly, as if they were thinking of appropriate tactics.

Suddenly, Philip stepped back sharply, widening the distance between the two, his nimble footsteps rubbing against the ground, making a series of rustling sounds.

Boris also moved, and in the direction of Philip was a savage charge, which is the watchman skill of every sword and shield warrior.

Philip retreated quickly, faster than Boris had predicted, and his shield was less than half a meter away from Philip at its closest, but that half-meter distance was a stone's throw away.

Philip took the opportunity to kick his shield with his right foot, and his body flew upside down, completely widening the distance.

Boris did not swing his sword blindly, his moves were already old, and even if he swung his sword, it was impossible to hit, and he would lose his position.

He was half-sunk, centered on his left foot, and his shield was constantly turning in the direction of Philip's position.

He really couldn't figure out why Philip chose to attack from a distance at the beginning, since the sword and shield warriors had always been the nemesis of archers.

When he ran out of 20 arrows in one quiver, he didn't want to return to hand-to-hand combat, but also wasted precious physical strength needlessly.

Boris, who has a lot of experience, decided to stay where he was.

Philip only retreated 40 meters before stopping, which was already twice the distance of Boris's control radius, and could also use the maximum power of the third-level standard bow.

I saw him skillfully hanging the arrows, but unfortunately, the arrows used in the game are made of hardwood, which is more hard but not enough weight, and it takes about 3-4 arrows to turn the scoring point green.

With a snap on the bowstring, the two-foot-long arrow turned into a phantom and shot at the helmet exposed above Boris's shield at a tricky angle.

Boris reacted very quickly, bowed his head to his chest, and hid his whole body behind his shield.

As soon as he finished his movements, he heard the sound of the edge of the shield rubbing against the shaft of the arrow, and a gray shadow flew past his helmet.

Boris was surprised by the accuracy of Philip's archery, but he didn't pay much attention to it and looked over.

He was experienced, and this time he did not look from above the shield, but leaned slightly and poked his head out from the right side of the shield.

Before he could see Philip's shadow, he heard a loud noise in his ears, and his strong body was hit by a powerful force, and he involuntarily tilted backwards, and at the same time he was a little dizzy.

The loud bang was the sound of Philip's second arrow slamming into his helmet.

After firing the first arrow, Philip seemed to anticipate the outcome, and without hesitation made a clockwise movement to the left, that is, to the right of Boris.

At the same time, the bow and arrow are bent, and the whole action is smooth and done in one go.

When Philip ran ten metres and the second shot came off the string, Boris poked his head out to the right.

Although the poking out is not large, because of Philip's movement, the angle between Boris and him has changed.

From Philip's point of view, it is clear that at least half of Boris's head is exposed within his range.

Without waiting for the results to be confirmed, Philip was unforgiving, and as he ran, he fired the third, fourth, and fifth arrows in succession, biting down on Boris, who was a little out of position and revealing a flaw.
