The ax wind roared, and the shield was as big as a mountain.
The middle-aged man with slightly gray hair moves accurately and clearly, and every move shows the amazing precision that has been refined over thousands of times. It is enough to serve as a textbook for young adventurers to learn from.
He is like an old dragon. Although he is older, he has not become weaker at all. Instead, he has accumulated more wisdom and strength with the years.
His speed is not fast, and every step is steady and steady, like a towering tree, deeply rooted in the earth, unwavering despite the wind and rain. When people come under the tree, they can only see the huge trunk rising into the sky. Looking up, the green crown of the tree is like a cloud, as if it can support the sky.
"Nicholas's martial arts skills are known as 'stable'!" Leon praised, "He is worthy of being called 'Reliable Nicholas'! It is said that he has been an adventurer for twenty years, although he has experienced a lot Failures and setbacks, but his adventure team has never been reduced in number during battles. Whenever a teammate dies, it is due to various reasons other than combat."
Sui Xiong was startled, and when he looked carefully, he saw that the middle-aged man was full of energy, and his whole energy seemed to be locked up by a big lock. Even in the fierce battle, no trace of it was leaked. Fighting with this attitude, I'm afraid you won't get tired even if you fight for a day and a night.
"This man must be very good at endurance fighting." He couldn't help but say.
"Yes, it is said that Nicholas once fought for a week at most, with very little time to rest in between." Leon said, "That was the war when the Kingdom of Thousand Springs resisted the invasion of the Blue Moon Kingdom. He participated in the Thousand Springs On the side of the country, he helped guard a small city and resisted the Blue Moon Kingdom's attacks for nearly three months. Especially in the last period, the Blue Moon Kingdom's offensive became more and more fierce, almost relying on him to run everywhere on the city wall. Only by supporting the battle and boosting morale at every turn can we be sustained."
"Wow! This is really awesome!" Sui Xiong admired and then asked, "Did he get any special rewards?"
"Afterwards, the earl who ruled that territory summoned him and asked him if he was interested in becoming his subordinate. The earl said at that time that he could skip the two classes of 'quasi-knight' and 'knight' and directly grant him the title of baron, or even to directly grant a fief."
"... Generally, if an adventurer pledges allegiance to a certain lord, he or she will start as a 'quasi-knight' or a 'knight', right?"
Leon shook his head: "Only famous adventurers can have this treatment, not ordinary adventurers. After all, even a 'quasi-knight' is still a noble."
Sui Xiong nodded slightly, looking forward to Nicholas' abilities.
Compared to Nicholas, his opponent is a bit tragic. He was a magician who was good at protection and control. He used various spells to enhance himself and weaken the enemy one after another, turning the entire arena into a huge trap. Ordinarily, in this situation, even a giant dragon would be unable to move even an inch if it could not dispel his magic. But Nicholas took his time and gradually got closer to him.
This famous adventure captain is not immune to the influence of spells, but he is always able to quickly break away from unfavorable situations. Like a slow-moving but very tough giant beast, no matter how clever the opponent's spells are, he cannot really restrain him. Got him.
On the other side of the arena, the situation was completely opposite to this one.
The speed of the two contestants was extremely fast, like two whirlwinds. The audience in the audience could not even see their movements clearly if they were slightly weaker. Only by relying on the lines of the narrator in the form of Sui Xiong can we understand the real strength of both sides.
"Oh my God! Contestant Ye Yu actually stabbed six times in a row just now! For most people, stabbing twice in a row is considered a good combat skill. Those who can stab three times in a row are considered masters, but he was able to stab six times in a row. ! What a speedy swordsmanship this is! If the person in front of him was a little weaker and his reaction was a little slower, he would have just a few bloody holes in his body and he would have been lifted directly to rescue him!"
"Player Black hasn't drawn his sword yet! He hasn't drawn his sword yet! It's unimaginable! Facing the top assassin like Player Ye Yu, he hasn't drawn his sword until now. He just uses dodge to resist... Oh my god! He dodged it again! The sword strike from Player Ye Yu just now was completely without warning, and the angle of the thrust was extremely tricky, but he was still able to dodge it!"
"Look, everyone! Player Ye Yu actually drew his sword with his back to his opponent! He leaned up and thrust out the sword - because it was covered by his body, it was impossible for Player Black to see this move. Sword! Can he dodge it? Can he? I can't believe my eyes. He can still dodge such an elusive sword!"
"Among the fighting masters, there is a proverb that 'defense alone cannot last, and offense is the best defense'. But today, Blake is challenging this proverb! It has been more than ten minutes! He has relied entirely on This method of evasion lasted for more than ten minutes! Even his right hand was still pressed on the handle of the unsheathed long knife! We can all imagine how amazing the power it will be when he draws out the knife. !”
"Contestant Ye Yu launched another fierce attack. His sword is so fast! His steps are faster than the sword! If we compete with him, most people's swords may not be as fast as his steps!"
"This time, can player Black still avoid his attack? Can he still?"
"Oh my God! Player Black drew his sword! He drew his sword!"
As the commentator roared at the top of his lungs, a bright sword light lit up on the ring, like a bolt of lightning piercing the sky.
After about a split second, a split second that only the best masters could feel, an explosion followed one after another. It was the sound of a long knife tearing the air. Because the speed of the knife was too fast, it actually made an explosion-like sound.
Ye Yu, who had been attacking fiercely, suddenly stopped, slowly raised his head, and looked at his opponent's face.
There were many scars on the face, and one could tell that it had been through many battles. There was a slightly tired look on it, but it was still calm.
He smiled bitterly, and a large amount of blood spurted out from his left waist to his right shoulder. If a golden light hadn't fallen from the sky and covered his body, he would have split into two parts in the next moment.
"One knife kills! Player Black wins! He only used one knife!" The commentator jumped to his feet and shouted, as if he was crazy. The audience in the stands were stunned and burst into loud cheers.
"The Thousand Springs Sword Drawing Technique is indeed well-deserved!" Qiao Xiu said to Pan in the stands, "According to the schedule, in the second round of the main match, your opponent will be this Black. Are you sure?"
Pan shook his head, and his golden ponytail swayed smoothly: "How can I be sure! This man is one of the strongest among the masters I have seen in my life. Even if I am still in the same state as before, I am only half as strong as him. Half the chance of winning."
"Then you are definitely losing now?" Qiao Xiu asked worriedly.
Pan smiled: "At the level he and I are at, winning or losing depends more on on-the-spot performance. Unless someone is plotted, no one dares to say that a fight between two people of our level can be stable. A chance to win.”
"Uh... what you said is too mysterious..." Qiao Xiu raised his eyebrows, with a look of disbelief on his handsome face.
"You will know when you step into this realm." Pan did not argue, just said with a smile, "From the high-level peak to the verge of legend, the only difference is this step. You have to work hard and take this step as soon as possible. OK!"
It was obvious that the opponent's height was only slightly higher than his chest and even less than his neck, but the overwhelming gap in strength between them made Qiao Xiu really unable to refute the opponent's words.
He sighed deeply and muttered: "How can we take this step?"
"Battle, dangerous battle, on the boundary between life and death, it is easier to take this step." Pan said lightly what happened when she was still called Olvera, "Back then, I was in the southern expedition of the empire. In the battle, when fighting to the death with the Eagle Knights, this step was taken."
She frowned, with a hint of excitement and nostalgia on her pretty face: "After that battle, I lay in bed for almost two months, and it took another half a year to recover, so I avoided becoming disabled. But it was really because of the encouragement from that battle that I finally took the crucial step."
"I thought that as long as I practiced step by step, when my strength reached the bottleneck again, I could join the Southern Expedition Army again and seek an opportunity to enter the legendary realm in the blood and fire. But... haha, what a wonderful fate!"
She subconsciously reached out and pressed her left chest, where she had been fatally wounded by a harpoon.
Although this body was actually not the one she had when she was killed, and there was no scar on it at all, she still felt a dull pain in her heart when she recalled the battle.
"Perhaps... the day I can step out of the shadow of being killed will be the day I step into the realm of legend!" The girl who had transitioned from a priest to a teacher did not say these words, but a trace of joy rose in her heart. Enlightenment.
Qiao Xiu was silent for a moment and patted her shoulder: "Don't think so much. Anyway, you have beaten me before and you have vented your anger. If you are not satisfied, how about I beat you again? Or I can use the harpoon to I'll lend it to you, and you'll give me a break, too?"
Pan smiled and shook his head, rejecting the suggestion.
At this moment, in the relatively dull arena, "Reliable Nicholas" had pushed his opponent to the edge of the ring, with nowhere to retreat.
Although the opponent is a high-level mage, he is fully capable of flying into the sky. But facing an opponent like Nicholas, who is not particularly good at flying, he has no confidence that he can take off safely.
Besides, what's the use of flying? Look at the six small axes hanging on Nicholas's waist, they are obviously used for throwing. Facing a high-level warrior who carries a throwing ax with him in such a battle, taking off in a hurry is simply equivalent to putting a label on his body, welcoming others to hit the target!
Finally, the mage sighed and chose to admit defeat before Nicholas launched a fatal blow.
"Let's go." Qiao Xiu patted Pan's shoulder gently, "The most worth-watching game this morning is over. I'll treat you to a drink!"
