Temusheng stretched out his left arm, grasped the sword with both hands, twisted his wrist, lifted the deflected sword, and then slashed towards the sword in Yiran's hand. Suddenly the sound of gold and iron shook the sky above the entire martial arts stage. The long knives and long swords collided together. Even though Temusheng tried his best, he was still knocked back several feet, but Yiran stood there without any retreat. Only the long sword in his hand kept shaking under the violent collision, and finally returned. calm.
Temusheng, who was retreating, seemed to have anticipated such a collision. He pushed his feet on the ground and leaned forward to slow down his retreat. The moment his body stopped, Temusheng stepped lightly and rushed forward again. He raised his long sword and slashed directly at Yiran, using another basic move.
Yiran was also familiar with slashing attacks. He leaned slightly to avoid the blade, and at the same time raised his elbow to hit Temusheng in the chest. The slashes of all weapons were like this. Although they were powerful and heavy, their chests were left wide open. As long as you are fast enough, you can seize that moment of opportunity, but not everyone can do it fast.
Temusheng, who was hit several feet again, took a deep breath and stroked his chest, gasping for air. Only then did he realize that Yiran could defeat him with his body alone without using his internal strength. Moreover, the pain caused by this elbow was really not as painful as Ma Mingyao's full blow!
Ma Mingyao in the audience looked at Yiran and Temusheng. After just a few moves, he realized that Yiran's understanding of moves was far beyond theirs. Yiran was able to respond and look for opportunities to attack the moment his opponent made a move. Fighting back is something that can only be accumulated through countless battles. Only then did Ma Mingyao realize the real gap between Yiran and them. The same was true for his cultivation level and the same for his martial arts. Ma Mingyao couldn't figure it out even though he had the same amount of time, how could Yiran improve so quickly in cultivation, and even his martial arts had such an exaggerated improvement. Back in Liu Xuecheng, Yiran was able to defeat so many border troops on his own, relying on his strong cultivation and martial arts, but now Yiran only used his physical strength and combat skills. In just ten years, Yiran's fighting instinct improved horribly, horribly!
During the battle, Temusheng was still marveling at the strength of Yiran's body and skills, but he didn't know that Ma Mingyao, who was sitting on the ground, saw something more.
Just as Temusheng continued to step forward to prepare for the attack, he was stopped by Ma Mingyao.
"Xiao Tie, come down here. There's no point in fighting anymore. It's easier to find out the problem by watching you fight than by competing on the martial arts stage. We still haven't practiced the basic moves enough. Brother Yiran can see through all the moves with just one move. .The changes in our moves and movements are all within Brother Yiran’s expectations.”
After hearing Ma Mingyao's words, Temusheng stopped and thought, and immediately discovered the problem. Every move is made by himself first, but Yiran can not only block the attack instantly, but also immediately find loopholes to fight back. His own slash was directly broken. You must know that the basic move is also the move with the least flaws, but Yiran hit himself before the knife fell with just the strength of his body. It can be said that the moment he raised his hand, Yiran Then he knew that he had killed him with this move.
This has nothing to do with cultivation or martial arts, it is entirely the consciousness of fighting!
After the two discovered their shortcomings, they couldn't help but wonder why their combat consciousness had improved so much in just ten years.
Yiran smiled and admired Ma Mingyao very much. The civilians who can take the initiative to go to the border naturally have his unique advantages and vision.
He put away his sword and jumped down from the ring lightly, leading the two of them to the dining hall. "The training room is divided into a training room and a battle room. The effect of honing your moves by fighting fantasy in the battle room is quite extraordinary. You can try it first, and the specific instructor Li Qi will naturally tell you."
"Xiaotie's basic moves are already quite good, but he lacks adaptability in battle. After a few more battles, his combat experience will improve very quickly."
Along the way, Yiran kept explaining his recent understanding of the moves. Although he used a sword, the two of them used knives, but this did not prevent Yiran from telling his experience at all. The knife is heavier and wider than the sword, so the knife is more powerful. The knife can block but the sword can only cut. When fighting an enemy with a knife or a sword, you can rely on the strength of the knife, which is the strength of the weapon itself.
Of course, combat awareness is also extremely important. When thrusting the weapon, do you think about your opponent's next move? How will you respond when your opponent fights back? Only after experiencing combat can you develop your own fighting instincts.
When several people arrived at the dining hall, Yiran had almost told them all about his experience. As for how much they can comprehend and how much their combat skills can be improved, it is not something Yi Ran can decide.
The dining hall is more crowded than ever before. All those who have been supporting from the border have returned, and most of those who have traveled abroad have returned to school to prepare for the year-end martial arts competition. The one adult at the end will be directly eliminated, and the samurai who did not break through at the end of the second grade will be directly eliminated. These two points are enough to put many people under pressure. As for those who are more powerful, they are aiming for the top 100 in their grade or even the top 100 in the ranking competition. That generous reward is no less than what you get from traveling abroad.
Ma Mingyao and Tiemusheng originally planned to treat Yiran to a big meal, but in the end it only cost five copper coins per person. Although a few people have got rid of the dilemma of not having money, no one thinks that the money is enough. When using every copper coin, they have to think about its hard-earned value!
After eating, the three of them walked out of the dining hall and separated. Ma Mingyao and Tiemusheng immediately went to the practice room to challenge the illusion, while Yi Ran returned to the dormitory to review today's battle.
There are only ten days left before the year-end martial arts competition. There are more and more children in the academy, and older children are beginning to appear on some of the larger martial arts stages. Their cultivation levels have all reached the level of warriors and above, and they are not weak at all. The overwhelming momentum of the move was not comparable to that of the new student Hui Wu. There were many people watching the martial arts performance in the audience. The younger children's eyes were full of envy, while those of similar age were full of fighting spirit. The First Martial Arts Academy finally showed its warlike side, and finally wanted to show its powerful side to all the young children.
Samurai are no longer a rare figure, but a presence everywhere, and all children above the third grade have become samurai. Although the real genius who can stand out in the ranking competition has not yet appeared, but according to the speculation of the good people, he must have already reached the level of a great warrior.
In the last ten days, Yiran, who had not taken a theoretical class for a long time, met his instructor Zhao Tianming, whom he had not seen for a long time, in a practical class. Instructor Zhao Tianming brought specific rules and matters needing attention regarding year-end martial arts competitions. Zhao Tianming explained everything to all the children in School No. 8 one by one.
The first round of the year-end martial arts competition is a melee. All children in each grade draw lots and are divided into twelve groups for the melee. The first 20% of the eliminated children in each group enter the death group, and the 20% of children who enter the death group are drawn for a one-on-one competition. The loser has the right to choose the winner of the competition. If he loses again, he will be eliminated directly.
The melee is to test the circle of friends. The more friends you have, the less likely you will be eliminated. This is connections, and connections are also a type of strength. If an ordinary person has a friend with a very high level of cultivation, it is extremely normal for him to help, even on the battlefield. As for the two adults who were eliminated first, they still had two chances to fight. It was extremely fair to these two adults. Those with strong strength would definitely be able to stay.
The melee ended when there were only two adults left on the martial arts stage. Although those eliminated were not punished, they were not given any rewards. Only the remaining two adults were left to compete in the final to fight for the top 100, top ten, or even It's the top three. The rules are the same as before, and the first round of battle will be drawn. The loser of the first round can choose the winner to challenge again. If he fails, he will quit and the winner will continue to challenge the top 100. After the top 100 are determined, everyone has no chance of failure. They draw lots to compete in pairs. The winner and the bye are promoted and the loser is eliminated until the top four, top three and first place are selected.
After Zhao Tianming finished explaining the specifications, he whispered to the children in School No. 8, "The rules of the first round are melee, which means you can form a team. Although this may not be fair to others, in order to continue practicing, All opportunities must be fought for by oneself. If you really can't compete, there's nothing to say if you lose. And other schools will definitely choose to form a team, so it's best for everyone to cooperate."
"You still have nine days to practice. On the tenth day, lots will be drawn. After the lots are drawn, the first round of melee will begin immediately. As the new theoretical instructor, I can only wish you success."
After saying this, Zhao Tianming glanced at all the children in School No. 8. Yiran, Li Yiyi, Ma Mingyao, and the ten people who had gone to the border together were the most familiar. The other children, whether they were noble children or common people, had no contact with him. too much. Just looking at these children, Zhao Tianming is still extremely reluctant to give up, but the world is like this. Those who have no talent and do not work hard can only make way for those children who are better and work harder. Only children born from such constant confrontations and battles can become strong, and only the strong can protect this sad world.
Zhao Tianming glanced at each child's eyes and saw various expressions in their eyes. It was in vain to try to remember them all, so he had to give up. Perhaps this is also destined, it is destined that not so many people can accompany you all the way. The only people who can stand behind him are those who are strong enough to stand shoulder to shoulder.
Just when many people were about to leave after listening to Zhao Tianming's story, Zhao Tianming began to talk about the rules of the ranking competition again. In the whole hospital ranking competition, these five words once again attracted all the children present. Although they are not strong enough to participate, everyone has the curiosity to watch the fun.
Those who are above the samurai level and among the top 100 in age can choose to participate in the ranking competition of the whole academy. There is no melee in the ranking competition. They will directly draw lots to compete in pairs. The winner and the draw will get a bye to advance. The rewards in ranking matches are much richer than those in Huiwu, so it is not ruled out that many people will retain their strength in Huiwu and only use their trump cards in ranking matches. Children who want to participate in ranking competitions should still be careful, but it is also good to participate in ranking competitions to practice your skills when you are young. In the past, everyone in the third grade and above could participate in the ranking competition. This year, it was suddenly changed to allow the whole school to participate. You can also see the strength of the older geniuses in advance.
Huang Zhan crossed his arms and listened to Zhao Tianming's story. Looking at the children he had trained for a year, he shouted loudly, "School No. 8, we fight together and return together!"
Ma Mingyao, Temusheng, and Zhou Ming immediately responded and shouted, "Fight together and return together!"
Immediately afterwards, the entire No. 8 School roared, "We fight together and die together!"
The sound resounded throughout the world, tearing the sky apart.
