In the room, Shi Qi held his breath and stared at the candle with resolute eyes. The thick epee passed by, and the candle wobbled. Under his disappointed eyes, he slowly fell down.
"Ah! Failed again!"
Chen Hao didn't speak, because he had been listening to this sentence for three days in a row.
Some people don't need to be pushed, they will work hard!
Shi Qi did not set up the candle again, but used the epee to repeatedly practice gestures against the air.
Every time he swung his sword, his brows were always slightly frowned, as if he was very dissatisfied with his sword skills.
But that's just what he thinks!
Chen Hao knew very well that Seventeen's swordsmanship had improved significantly in just three days, and it even seemed a little scary!
Epee pays attention to strength and momentum.
Almost every warrior who is good at epee, which one doesn't swing the epee vigorously
But Shi Qi is not like this, or he is not like this now.
If you want to cut the candle with a long sword like Hu Tongling, and prevent the candle from moving, you must use the sword fast enough and stable enough!
The Scarlet Blood Demon Sword is in the form of an epee, and the blade is wider and thicker than ordinary standard long swords. Invisibly, it adds difficulty to Shi Qi.
Chen Hao once tentatively said to Seventeen, "Why don't you change to a narrower and thinner long sword"
Shi Qi refused without even thinking about it: what ordinary long swords can do, heavy swords can definitely do it, if it is Senior Fu, he can definitely do it! If I can't do it, it must be because I haven't mastered my swordsmanship yet!
To move the sword quickly, what is needed is the ability to explode instantly. Seventeen is born with divine power, and the strength is far beyond that of ordinary warriors. He can barely do it.
But to make a sword stable enough, it is necessary to repeat mechanical training for many years.
But Shi Qi broke the routine, and under the witness of Chen Hao, he made progress at a speed visible to the naked eye!
He even suppressed the frantic wind brought by the epee bit by bit.
Now, with the Scarlet Blood Sword wielding in Seventeen's hands, the resistance between the sword body and the air is getting smaller and smaller, and the strong wind generated in the room is getting weaker and weaker.
This means that Seventeen is getting more and more proficient in controlling power!
Another seven days later, in Shiqi's hands, the Scarlet Blood Sword could hardly feel any resistance. When the long sword danced in the room, the dust in the air only trembled slightly.
The nearly two-meter heavy sword was drawn across, and the candle on the table stood firmly on the spot.
Seventeen's face showed the joy of success!
Chen Hao said: "You succeeded, not bad!"
Shi Qi's hard work finally paid off, and Chen Hao was also happy for him.
"No, Lord Sword Spirit, it's just a coincidence this time!" Shi Qi said with a smile, "I can't guarantee success every time!"
Sure enough, Seventeen tried five more times, and only one of the five times succeeded!
Seventeen sighed: "The Commander is still very powerful, he can succeed casually, I am still far behind him!"
Chen Hao felt that if Commander Hu used an epee, he might not be as good as Seventeen.
But he didn't say it out loud.
Two days later, Seventeen was finally able to guarantee 100% success in cutting the candles.
Chen Hao praised: "Seventeen, you are very good. Among all the sword masters, your sword talent should be the highest!"
"I'm still far away! Without the teaching of Lord Sword Spirit and the help of the Scarlet Blood Sword, I would not be able to succeed! When I was learning the sword technique of "Beheading", I seemed to be Senior Fu. He created "Beheading" "I can clearly understand all the mental journey of swordsmanship, and I think anyone else will reach my level!"
Seventeen's words are pleasing to the ear.
But Chen Hao knew that Shi Qi's words came from the heart.
His head is a bit off, but his character is very good, he is diligent and hardworking, he doesn't know what satisfaction is, and he is also very humble... so humble that he feels inferior!
That's right, deep down in Shi Qi's heart, he is a very inferior person.
He has engraved inferiority complex into his bones!
Perhaps, now Lian Shiqi himself has not discovered it.
There was a "dong dong dong" knock on the door, Shi Qi pushed the door open, and standing at the door was Lan Erwu.
"Seventeen, the monthly exam is about to start. I haven't seen you in the martial arts training ground. Will you forget it?" Lan Erwu couldn't help it when he saw Shiqi's haggard face and slovenly appearance. He asked, "I haven't seen you much these days, so you haven't been staying in the house all the time, have you?"
"Well, I'm thinking about martial arts."
"Okay, let's go quickly, Commander Hu is going to roll call!"
Shi Qi didn't have time to tidy up, so he was dragged by Lan Erwu and ran towards the training ground.
There were ninety-eight orphans in the Seventeenth group, but now there are only thirty-six orphans left, and the others are gradually eliminated and sent to other places by the Lan family.
On the martial arts training ground, Commander Hu leaned on crutches and stood on the competition stage and said: "Short words, for today's monthly exam, everyone will draw lots to choose their opponents, and those who do not perform well will be eliminated."
Chen Hao asked: "Are you deciding who to eliminate based on the competition and ranking?"
"No, the quota for each elimination is drawn up by Commander Hu." Shi Qi said, "It should be determined according to the degree of progress."
Seventeen drew number thirty-six.
A group of teenagers began to compete on stage in order.
Chen Hao silently stood on the competition stage one by one, the average age was around 14 or 15 years old, the weakest was the peak of the mid-stage Qi Condensation Realm, and the strongest was Lan Qijiu, the early stage of the Qi Sea Realm!
The gap between a group of teenagers is very small... All those who are holding back have been eliminated!
Lan Sanliu, who was drawn in the first round of Seventeen, was in the late Qi Condensation Realm.
He lasted less than ten strokes in Shiqi's hands before he was swept off the stage by a sword.
In the second round, his opponent was Lan Jiu.
Lan Jiuzi is short, about 1.65 meters tall, looks very thin, and his weapon is a slender, narrow sword.
The tall and strong Lan Shiqi stood in front of him, like a bear trying to bully a sheep!
But Shi Qi was very serious.
The last time he passed the test, he fell into the opponent's hands.
"Seventeen, I'm so lucky to meet you today!" Sanliu said with a smile.
"Only after the fight will you know who is lucky!"
Shi Qiyi stepped on the ground, his whole body rushed towards Lan Jiu, and then swung the epee fiercely. The epee was so powerful that no one would believe that, with Lan Jiu's small physique, once Shi Qi's heavy sword If the sword is touched, I am afraid that I will lose my fighting power immediately!
But at the moment when the epee was about to touch Lan Jiu, Lan Jiu's figure disappeared in place.
Lan Jiu said with a smile: "I knew it, you still haven't cultivated agility. With your speed, don't even think about touching me!"
"snort!"
Shi Qi didn't speak, and unleashed the "Battle Sword Jue", a powerful wind blowing from the epee.
Some people under the martial arts competition whispered: "Seventeen's "Battle Sword Jue" is probably about to be completed!"
"So what if the swordsmanship is strong? If you can't cut someone, you're still blind?"
"That's right, Lan Jiu's top-grade Huang-level movement technique "Autumn Wind Falling Leaves Step" has already been completed. Don't even think about meeting him on Shi Qi. I guess the ending will be like last time. After Qi Qi was exhausted, he was successfully attacked by Lan Jiu!"
