The two of them said no more and walked towards the weapon rack. Bernal glanced around the weapon rack and selected an ironwood sword with a length of about 1.5 meters and a slightly narrow blade, while Keppel I chose an ironwood knife that was about one meter long and had a wider blade.
Then the two of them walked up to the fighting platform without saying a word, stood at both ends of the fighting platform, and looked at each other, with cold light shining in their eyes.
Uh-huh!
Without any greeting, both of them started to move.
Peng!
Keppel was wearing a brown battle uniform. He stepped hard on the ground with his right foot. A strong momentum was transmitted from his right foot into his body, and his body rushed out quickly under this momentum. .
Fortunately, considering the reason for the battle, the stone used on the platform is a bronze stone with a hardness no worse than iron. Otherwise, just this one blow would have been enough to leave footprints on the stone underfoot.
When he was a low-level blood warrior, Gray could break a stone slab with one punch. Kepel, who was already a mid-level blood warrior, was obviously more destructive.
At the same time as the man rushed out, he swung the ironwood sword in his hand upwards from his chest with a fierce slash.
Wow!
The sound of powerful winds as the black blade tore through the air suddenly sounded in the air. Along with the sound of strong winds, the ironwood sword drew out like a black shadow.
Uh-huh!
On the other side, Bernal was wearing a white uniform. When Kepel rushed out, he also rushed out quickly.
There was no big movement like Keppel's. He just stepped on the ground lightly, as if tapping his toes on the ground, and his whole body rushed out.
But his movement speed is no slower than Keppel, and is even faster.
At the same time as he rushed out, the sword in his hand was at the opposite angle to Kepel, from top to bottom, slashing out at an angle.
boom!
The two ironwood swords collided in mid-air, and there was a violent explosion.
It was like a cannon exploded between the two of them, quickly spreading around.
Then the two of them quickly separated and retreated backwards. Every time they stepped on the stones of the battle platform, it was like stepping on a cowhide drum, making a dull sound.
In the end, Keppel took three steps back and Bernal took five steps back.
"The strength is a bit lacking..."
Beside the ring, Gray narrowed his eyes slightly when he saw this scene.
Judging from the retreating pace and pure strength, Bernal's strength is weaker than Keppel's.
Of course, it is too early to say that there is a gap in strength between the two. After all, it is only the difference between three steps back and five steps back. The gap is not too big.
And fighting is not just about who is stronger, it is a comprehensive contest of strength, speed, defense, combat skills, etc.
In the first fight, my eldest brother probably chose to go head-to-head with Keppel for the purpose of testing and observing his opponent. I am afraid that the way of fighting will change in the future.
Peng!
Because there was less retreat, Keppel took the lead in stabilizing his body.
He stepped heavily on the ground with his left foot, and his whole body was quickly ejected.
The distance of a few steps was too close. In the blink of an eye, it was already close, and the knife in his hand struck at Bernal horizontally.
Uh-huh!
An extremely harsh whistling sound came from the air. This sword was the strongest one he could swing without using the power of blood.
Snapped!
However, just when his sword was about to hit Bernal with a fierce force, he saw Bernal's foot touch the ground lightly, and his whole body swept backwards very quickly in an extremely strange way, barely avoiding the sword.
Not only that, but with a few steps on his feet, he circled half a circle around Kepel, quickly came to Kepel's side, and slashed at Kepel's neck with a sword.
If this sword were to be cut, even if the Iron Wood Sword had no edge, it would be enough to seriously injure Kepel or even kill him. After all, there was no protection at the neck from the armor.
Keppel's hair stood on end at this moment. The sword he slashed horizontally quickly reversed and blocked Bernal's sword. Kankan blocked Bernal's dangerous sword.
boom!
There was another explosion like a cannon, and Bernal and Keppel were separated once again and retreated.
Snap, snap, snap!
The sound of stepping on a cowhide drum sounded again. This time, Keppel took three steps back like last time, but Bernal changed. His steps back were actually the same as Keppel's, which was also three steps. step.
"really!"
Seeing this scene, Gray raised the corner of his mouth slightly.
There was still a gap in strength between Bernal and Keppel before. It is impossible for this gap to disappear suddenly. The reason for this is naturally because Keppel made a hasty move and failed to show his best. strength.
Obviously, after testing out that Keppel was not as fast as him and stronger than him, but only a little stronger, Bernal had already changed the way of fighting.
With his speed, he avoided Keppel's attack and attacked Keppel from the side, forcing Keppel to resist hastily and unable to exert his full strength.
Bang, bang, bang!
On the battlefield, sounds like cannons rang out one after another, as Bernal and Keppel were fighting rapidly.
After a while, we fought to the east side of the ring, and then we stood on the west side of the ring...
The all-out fighting quickly depleted the two men's physical strength. Sweat dripped from both sides of their foreheads, and the hair between their temples was already wet with sweat.
Because Bernal always attacks from the side or even from behind, the power of Kepel's attack is always unable to achieve the strongest effect.
Of course, Bernal didn't take advantage either.
Even if he relies on his speed to attack Kepel from the side or from behind, forcing Kepel to parry in an awkward way and unable to exert his full strength, he will only be equal to Kepel in terms of strength.
call out!
Bernal appeared on Kepel's right and slashed Kepel's side with his sword again.
"drink-"
But at this moment, Keppel suddenly shouted loudly.
Then his hands suddenly expanded in a circle, and the arms of the outer body armor clearly felt like they were being propped up.
Then, he turned around and slashed with the long knife from top to bottom with great force.
Tear!
Under this knife, the air seemed to be torn apart, and the sound was extremely harsh.
Around the ring, the faces of the weaker aristocratic disciples could not help but turn pale. Their eyes looked at Kepel who swung this sword in horror. This sword gave them the feeling of being unstoppable. If it were on a real battlefield, they would not be able to stop him. They were the ones who took this stabbing, and they would probably lose their lives.
Even the children of the Earl and Viscount families couldn't help but narrow their eyes. Such a knife could already pose a huge threat to them.
"Get ready for a quick victory!"
The look in Gray's eyes suddenly became sharp.
Judging from the sudden increase in Kepel's sword force, it was easy to tell that Kepel had used the power of blood.
Although the power of blood can enhance combat power, blood warriors of too low a level have too little blood power in their bodies. Even an average blood warrior can only use it about ten times in a short period of time.
Therefore, during battle, the power of blood is extremely rare. Once used, it basically indicates the intention to decide the outcome in a short time.
Facing Kepel who suddenly used the power of blood, Bernal's face became serious and he poured the power of blood into his legs without hesitation.
Uh-huh!
He originally slashed at Kepel quickly with his sword, but he retreated faster than before to avoid Kepel's terrifying sword.
In a competition of pure strength, he is definitely no match for Kepel, not to mention that now Kepel has used the power of blood to increase the strength of his arm.
Although he can also use the power of blood to increase his arm strength, obviously, with the characteristics of the blood method "Wind Wolf", the degree of increase is definitely not as good as Kepel's. Now the gap in strength between him and Kepel has changed. It was bigger, so he chose to avoid it.
Bang—
On the battle platform, the loudest explosion from the battle to this day was heard. Kepel slashed hard on the battle platform with a knife, and the entire battle platform shook slightly under the knife.
If you look carefully, you will find that under Kepel's knife, a shallow scratch has appeared on the surface of the bronze stone, which is as hard as iron. It can be imagined that scratches can be left on stone as hard as iron. The power of his sword is so powerful.
Not far away, Bernal looked at this terrifying knife with lingering fear. He naturally saw the traces on the platform. Because of this, he had lingering fear.
If he was hit by such a knife in the front, even if he was protected by a battle suit, he would definitely be injured, and he would naturally be defeated.
Fortunately, with the increased speed of blood power, Kankan avoided it.
Uh-huh!
Almost at the same time, the two started moving again.
Everyone used the power of blood, obviously just as Gray expected, they were ready for a quick victory.
The power of blood poured into one hand, and the knife in his hand rushed forward, making a terrifying whistling sound. The other had the power of blood pouring into his legs, quickly dodging attacks, and at the same time waiting for opportunities to attack.
Bang!
The physical strength and blood power of the two people were rapidly depleted, and finally at a certain moment, with a muffled sound, a figure flew out upside down.
This man is Keppel, who is wearing a brown battle uniform.
After dodging Keppel's ferocious attacks several times, Bernal finally found an opportunity and struck Kepel with a sword, sending him flying.
After landing on the ground, protected by his combat uniform, Kepel felt only a little pain. He turned over and tried to stand up, but at this moment, a sword was already placed on his neck, and the other end of the sword was holding a man who was panting heavily. In the hands of an angry Bernal.
His heart suddenly sank, and his eyes suddenly became lost. He failed, he failed to wash away the shame of the Oliver family!
He ignored Keppel. After all, this was a life-or-death contest. If he won, he would win. There would be no counterattack again. The face of the nobles would not allow such a thing to happen.
Propping his body on the ground with his sword, Bernal looked towards Viscount Fergus in the audience.
Father, have you seen that your son has won? Your son is no worse than others!
