"I'll try my best." Faced with the tall man's provocation, Barong just spread his hands indifferently.
Although Baron behaved very calmly, Artolis could tell that Baron was equally interested compared to this group of adventurers. Maybe it's because it would be best for him if the request he made can be fulfilled through this kind of promise.
And if Elena were to bear all the burden, Baron would probably feel bad too. Therefore, no matter what his identity is, whether he is an alien traveler or Elena's disciple, as long as he can achieve the results he wants, there is no reason why he should not play this role well.
only......
"In other words, even I am no match for that kid, and seeing how serious he is, he seems to have no intention of showing mercy. Is this going too far?"
Baron didn't say anything here, but Elena, who proposed the rules, felt guilty at first. She watched the tense atmosphere between the two sides. After realizing it, she leaned into Atoris's ear and whispered in her ear.
After looking at Celica who looked at her suspiciously, Artolis couldn't help laughing when she heard Elena's question: "Don't worry, Baron has his own sense of discretion. Since he has the will, If I pretend to be your disciple, I will definitely not use techniques other than Shui Nian Liu in this competition."
"Seriously?" After hearing what Artolis said, Elena looked surprised. She followed Artolis to the two sides facing each other in the center of the venue and frowned slightly.
The people on the other side who are eager to try are all around level 140. They seem to be around the same age as Atoris and have such strength, which is considered to be among the best even among the human race. Although there is still a big gap compared with the king-level powers, it should not be underestimated.
It’s not that Elena doesn’t believe in Baron’s strength, but it’s been less than a week since Barong personally came into contact with Shui Nian Liu. For him to face such an opponent head-on, even if he is someone recognized by Elena, it’s still too much. some.
Although the outcome of winning or losing is not important, if Baron was frustrated because he was his disciple, Elena would definitely feel sorry.
"So, it's better to abandon your contradictory thoughts. That guy will not rashly accept such an invitation to a duel without absolute certainty. As you said before, stand up from him. From the moment of victory, victory is already certain." Artolis crossed her arms in front of her chest, so decisively.
Because that is Barong, an ideal that many people cannot hope to achieve. Even in the thousands of days and nights of competition, Artolis has never been able to truly win in his hands. The power that belongs to him is no longer as simple as pure strength.
"So, are they coming one by one?" In the middle of the venue, seeing the tall man standing up first and raising his head to look at the other's stalwart figure, Barong asked with an unchanging expression.
"Why, are you afraid that we will unite to bully you?" The other party said with a smile: "You can rest assured of this. Knights have dignity, and as adventurers, we naturally have it too. Since we want to be recognized by the Sword King, of course we must be a pair. A fair fight for one.”
"You're right, it seems that I was short-sighted." Facing the other party's smile, Barong tilted his head. Seeing the other party's serious look, his expression became serious as he spoke.
"Since you and I both pursue fairness, there is no reason for me to take advantage of this body." After saying this, Barong suppressed his strength to the same level as the tall man.
This move also surprised the other party. Obviously for Baron, Elena's body is the biggest advantage. After all, it is the body of a sword king up to level 165, and it is controlled by a direct disciple. The potential it can inspire It will definitely be much stronger than those half-hearted people like them who can't even control 80% of the opponent's strength by replacing other people's bodies.
But now that the other party takes the initiative to give up this advantage, it seems too unbelievable to everyone. But in other words, maybe this is because the other party is confident enough in his own strength that he dares to do this.
Just thinking of this, everyone's expressions became solemn.
"The inheritor of Shui Nian School..."
Barong took a stance, holding a sword in one hand and reaching forward with the other hand - it was both an invitation and a challenge.
His clear eyes revealed a bit of ruthlessness. It seems that he wants to turn this fight into a "life and death fight", but in fact it is the opposite. He just respects every opponent out of his heart and treats every battle well.
In other words, he has never looked down upon any opponent from beginning to end, and it remains the same to this day. He just wants to carry out his stubbornness to the end.
"Baron Bokar, the personal disciple of Sword King Elena, please give me some advice!"
"Hahaha, it seems you have quite a temperament!" Seeing this, the tall man took off the broad sword from his shoulder, raised it flat, and pointed it directly between Balong's eyebrows from a distance of more than ten meters: "Since you If your name is given, I shouldn’t neglect it.”
As he spoke, he searched for the words that best described himself.
"Listen up, me! Beichen Yinliu—Myas Norton, vows to be the first one to defeat you today!"
The battle started, and the magician chanted a spell to expand the light shield that resisted the storm to a hundred meters away, providing enough space for the two warring parties.
When she noticed Mias' gesture from afar, Artolis raised her eyebrows involuntarily.
There are ten major swordsmanship systems in Tianeste, and the clever thing is that the seven great powers, or sword kings, each come from different fields and occupy seven of them.
The representative figure of Beichen Yinliu is the sword king who enjoys the inscription of "Thousand Locks of Broken Heart" - Ikaner Baruchlaud.
If Artoris remembers correctly, Beichen Yinliu is a short dagger sect. Logically speaking, this sect has very strict requirements on the length of the weapon and the body shape of the practitioner.
After all, although Beichen Yinliu and Shui Nianliu are both famous for their fast attacks, Shui Nianliu is faster with "swords", while Beichen Yinliu is faster with "people".
In comparison, his petite figure is more suitable for that kind of sensitive physical skills and techniques. Through his strange steps and assassin-like skills, he presses forward step by step in the confrontation, and takes advantage of the short dagger to quickly execute his moves. Perform incredible stunts.
That was the strength of Beichen Yinliu, but the opponent did not switch to that kind of weapon, and even went the opposite way and used a broad sword that was least suitable for the genre. If it was said that they were simply using their own weapons to cater to both parties involved in soul replacement, Artolis wouldn't believe it.
Since the opponent chooses to fight with a broad sword, there must be a reason for him to do so. Perhaps that is the source of the opponent's self-confidence.
However, Barong didn't seem to think that much. He just faced the opponent's weird starting posture and slowly raised the sword in his hand.
