A dark horse refers to a person who was not originally favored by others, but showed unexpected strength.

Being able to be called a dark horse is an affirmation in itself, and to be called a dark horse, it does require strong enough strength.

Here, in addition to the above conditions, the person who is known as the dark horse must also participate in the swordsmanship king competition for the first time.

Soon, the second round of the winning side of the 40 games of the last game was over.

Up to now, after two rounds of a total of 160 competitions, everyone has participated in two, except for some people who deliberately conceal their swordsmanship level, most of the people's swordsmanship level is known by the onlookers and the participating students.

There are dark horses in other groups, and there is more than one, after all, it is not easy to enter the inner mansion itself.

And there are three people in the tenth group who are called dark horses, the first is Lei Hao, the second is Chu Duan, and the third is called Jin Xia, who is a female student.

Jin Xia was inconspicuous in the first round, and it seemed a little difficult to defeat her opponent, but in the second round, she didn't know why she was high-profile, and she only used three swords to defeat her opponent.

And her opponent is an old student who was ranked 738th in the last swordsmanship king's list, and this academy can be ranked 72nd.

Jin Xia defeated her opponent with three swords, and she was in the limelight for a while, and there were signs of overshadowing Chu Duan and Lei Hao. It is faintly known as the first dark horse in the tenth group, while Lei Hao ranks second and Chu Duan ranks third.

For this kind of ranking, Chu Duan didn't care.

After the first and second rounds, there was a break for a quarter of an hour, and the third round began.

The third round is played after the first round winner 80 players played the second round and the first round loser 80 players played the second round after the 40 people who won the second round were disrupted again.

As for the 80 winners of the first round, the 40 people who won after the second round were reduced to spectators and watched the game temporarily.

The third round begins. Forty to forty is exactly forty.

"I don't think your swordsmanship is that simple. A voice sounded in Chu Duan's ears, and in an instant he judged that it was a sword qi transmission. Looking back, I just saw Lei Hao looking over, his face was calm, but there was a trace of war intent in his eyes.

"Each other, each other. Chu Dui also echoed with sword qi.

'I'm looking forward to seeing us fight. The battle intent in Lei Hao's eyes became more obvious, and a confident smile hung on the corner of his mouth.

"Oh. Jin Xia's swordsmanship is more conspicuous than ours, shouldn't you be looking forward to fighting her more?" Chu Duan replied.

"She ......" Lei Hao paused slightly: "Maybe it's good, but my intuition tells me that her swordsmanship is definitely not comparable to you, nor can she be compared to me, and she is not qualified to be my opponent." ”

"I'm looking forward to it too. Chu Duan replied, and the curiosity in his heart became heavier.

Jin Xia's swordsmanship is indeed good, but Chu Duan can see that even if there is still some reservation, it is not much retained, which is much different from Lei Hao's kind of hard-to-see depth.

So. Not only did Lei Hao not take Jin Xia in his eyes, but Chu Duan also didn't take her seriously, the so-called first dark horse was just a false name.

In the midst of a few words of conversation between Chu Duan and Lei Hao, the third round of the game had already been played. The second session is underway.

For the students who fell to the losing side in the first round, this is a very good way to prove themselves, and that is to defeat their opponents.

Once you defeat your opponent, you not only prove your strength, but also qualify to continue the game, but if you fail, you are eliminated outright. Missed the final of the Sword Fighting Competition. ...,

Therefore, in order to keep their qualifications, everyone is scooping out their own strength, even beyond the usual performance, and strive to win.

Therefore, the third round of the competition as a whole is more exciting than the first two rounds, and the students are addicted to it, and they are so excited that they can't wait to play in person to have fun.

After some time, the forty matches in the third round were over, and those who were defeated by Jin Xia, Lei Hao and Chu Duan, all won in the third round and qualified for the fourth round.

However, they are praying in their hearts that they will never encounter the previous three opponents again, only they have personally experienced the strength of the opponent, and if they think about it carefully, it is really not something they can compete with.

At the end of the third round, the referee announced a quarter of an hour's rest, and everyone had the leisure to look at the other sword fighting rings.

At this time, the first group, the second group, and the third group are already in the fourth round, while the fourth, fifth, sixth, and seventh groups are resting like the tenth group, and the eighth and ninth groups are still in the third round, but it seems that it is nearing the end.

A quarter of an hour passed quickly, and the fourth round was about to kick off.

The fourth round is played between the forty who have never lost in the first three rounds and the forty who have lost before but won in the third round.

Of course, it is not the previous forty against the forty after the one, but the eighty people as a whole, arranged by the referee.

In this way, it is possible for the strong and the weak to meet, or the weak to meet, and more likely to meet the strong and the strong.

"The first game of the fourth round: Jin Xia vs. Li Qing'er. ”

"Senior Sister Jin Xia, please be merciful. Both of them are female students, and Li Qing'er said with a sword salute as soon as she came to the stage.

"Scoop out your best strength. Jin Xia said coldly, and did not relax because of the other party's request.

Pouting, Li Qing'er suddenly rushed out with a sword.

She knew that her swordsmanship was not as good as Jin Xia's, and her chances of winning were slim, but not impossible.

So I wanted to distract Jin Xia by speaking first, as long as Jin Xia's breath was relieved, she would have a chance, but I didn't expect this Jin Xia to be unmoved, and had to suddenly attack with a sword, trying to hit Jin Xia by surprise.

But a good swordsman is always on his toes and quick to react.

The moment Li Qing'er took out the sword. Jin Xia also followed with the sword, first and then came, and stabbed Li Qing'er with a sword, which made Li Qing'er's expression change, and hurriedly retreated, and at the same time swung his sword to resist.

Jin Xia seemed to have made up her mind to defeat Li Qing'er in the shortest possible time, so when a sword had the upper hand. She swung out four sword lights with one sword, dazzling it, making Li Qing'er misjudge and defeat with one sword.

"It's so easy. ”

"See, no. It's four sword lights. ”

"I'm sure that four sword lights are definitely not her limit. The students talked one after another.

Chu Duan didn't feel strange that Jin Xia was able to swing four sword lights.

Huang Shao'an, who ranked more than eight hundred, could wield five sword lights with all his might. Jin Xia, who is obviously more powerful than Huang Shao'an, has a limit of more than five sword lights, and four sword lights are not very difficult.

Lei Hao glanced at Jin Xia, and a trace of interest flashed in his eyes, not between men and women, but the interest of seeing a strong opponent, but only a hint of it.

Immediately, Lei Hao looked at Chu Duan, paying special attention to Chu Duan's eyes, and found that although Chu Duan's eyes were also looking at Jin Xia, they were very calm. There was no wave at all, and the battle intent in his eyes couldn't help but be stronger.

"Round 4, Game 2 ......"

"Round 4, Match 3 ......"

"Fourth Round 4th ......"

Ten groups of judges kept announcing that the fourth round of matches was going on one after another.

"Match 10 of the fourth round: Lei Hao vs. Yue Cheng. ”...,

"It's an honor for me to be able to compete with the second dark horse. After Yue Cheng went to the sword fighting platform, he smiled and looked very hearty and heroic. And his own appearance is relatively rough, plus he grabs the hair on the back of his head with one hand when he speaks, which is easy to give people a good impression.

"I'm not going to keep my hand. Lei Hao smiled slightly and said, this is the first time he has laughed in the game.

"That's cool. Even if I lose at the worst, I'll be happy. Yue Cheng Ha Lu Ha laughed, but suddenly a sword slashed out, the sword he used was bigger and heavier than ordinary swords, so after a sword was slashed, it was extremely fierce, as if it was going to split a boulder.

Too fast, too abrupt, too fierce!

Lei Hao was suddenly angry, he didn't expect this guy to be so honest on the surface, but in fact he was a villain with hidden thoughts, he didn't dodge, but counterattacked, with a sword, and slashed out with a more ferocious state.

If Yue Cheng's sword felt like it was about to split a boulder with a sword, then Lei Hao's sword felt like a violent thunderbolt coming to smash the boulder.

Lei Hao was furious!

He originally looked at Yue Cheng's conversation, appearance, etc., and thought that his impression was good, but he didn't expect that everything was just an appearance.

Lei Hao was furious, and his sword was more fierce and faster than before, so fast that it was dazzling, so fierce that people even forgot to breathe.

Yue Cheng's strongest sword was split by Lei Hao, Lei Hao's sword invaded like a raging storm, Yue Cheng's face changed greatly, and he hurriedly held the sword with both hands to resist.

Every time he resisted a sword, his face turned pale, his arms trembled slightly, and his muscles bulged up, feeling the transmission of huge force, and his muscles began to sour and numb.

At this time, Yue Cheng had no way to regret it.

"Admit defeat, I'll admit defeat, stop immediately......" Yue Cheng hurriedly shouted.

But the angry Lei Hao didn't pay attention to it at all.

"Referee: I admit defeat. Yue Cheng's sword was knocked away, and seeing the fierce sword slashing at him, the breath of death was enveloping, and he was so frightened that he quickly screamed.

The figure flashed, and a figure appeared in front of Yue Cheng, holding Lei Hao's sword between two fingers.

Yue Cheng's face was pale, and he sat on the sword fighting platform panting, and he was terrified, and his pupils were constantly dilating and full of palpitations.

"Lei Haosheng. The referee let go of his finger and announced, Lei Hao glanced at Yue Cheng coldly, turned around and jumped off the sword fighting platform.

Chu Duan found that the reason why the referee was able to clamp Lei Hao's sword was because he could use his innate sword qi, that is to say, the ban on the sword fighting platform was actually only effective for those of them who were students, or only for those who were in the Qi Transformation Realm and below the Qi Transformation Realm.

"It's terrible, I thought Yue Cheng was going to be killed by Lei Hao's sword. ”

"My heart is almost stopping. ”

"Yue Cheng deserves it, he is obviously a sinister villain, and he has to pretend to be bold. ”

"The eleventh game of the fourth round: Zhong Liyang vs. Chu Duan. After the referee flew off the sword fighting platform, he announced again. (Your support on this site is my biggest motivation.) )
