Knights of the Wasteland Fortress

Chapter40
"now you."

As he expected, Warren's voice came over just right.

"The duration of the orange drink and the purple drink are both short, at most 3 minutes. I must end the battle with Noah as soon as possible."

"The red drink and the white drink last a little longer, but the red drink has a lot of side effects. If I can't defeat Noah in one fell swoop, I will probably be useless when he takes the stage next time."

"So we must work hard and not give him any chance..."

Jiatu thought calmly, walked over to Hua Lun, turned over and stood on the ring.

On the ring, Wei Wei, who was in charge of the eighth round of the challenge, was clutching his arms, lying on the ground and howling. The blond boy looked at him indifferently, then noticed the movement around the ring, and looked at Jiatu in surprise:

"why you?"

Obviously, the scene of Jiatu flying to protect Hena left a deep impression on him.

However, when his gaze swept across Jiatu's cane, his tone was instantly filled with contempt:
"Is there no one in the lower area? Why did you send a cripple up here?"

"Sorry, they are all trash, trash that can't even beat a cripple."

Jiato replied as if joking.

But this joke, except for him, everyone can't laugh.

The trainees in the lower area were stunned, and the original cheering sound stopped instantly.

This made the air on the field suddenly become a little weird.

But this made Jiatu feel more comfortable.

After all, his original character was like this——

Indifferent, self-centered, only focusing on things he likes.

Sometimes it may even appear that there is no distinction between the enemy and the enemy.

But this is the real him——

The original "he".

Getting along with Hera Hena and the others changed "him" to a certain extent, making "he" feel that if he wants to be a good boy, at least he shouldn't make Hera and the others feel ashamed.

"But, character is like this sometimes. If you can't change it, you can't change it."

With some regret, Jiatu glanced at Hua Lun and the others in the audience.

Then he noticed the astonishment on Warren's face.

Cato sighed softly, as if sighing at the end of this friendship.

Then he retracted his gaze.

At this time, he has no time to take care of everything except fighting.

He wants nothing more than to win.

And Noah didn't understand this, but he still felt that Jiatu seemed to be an opponent he had never seen before.

So he closed his mouth and looked at the invigilator beside him.

"Then... the ninth round—start!"

Noticing the signs from both sides, Yin Wenwu nodded and gave instructions.

.

Jiatu was not in a hurry.

Although there is a time limit for the drink he drank, in the current situation, as long as Noah does not actively avoid the battle, he can finish him within 3 minutes.

It was Noah who should really be anxious.

After all, from Noah's point of view, Jiatu is a human sandbag who comes up to delay time. Apart from consuming his physical strength, there is no possibility of winning at all.

There is Warren behind Jiatu, so Noah must consider how much energy he has left to face Warren's problem after defeating Jiatu.

So it is impossible to shoot him with all his strength.

When Jiatu was under the ring, he had already figured this out.

Therefore, before Yin Wenwu's words fell to the ground, he assumed the posture of "fixing the knee sword" in Qi Jiguang's handed down sword technique "Single Sword Technique Selection".

He put the cane on the ground, then squatted down with his left leg behind and his right leg in front; he held the back half of the stick with both hands, put the end of the stick above his knees, and bent down to point the tip of the stick at Noah .

From the blond boy's point of view, Jiatu seemed to be hiding his entire body behind a long stick. No matter which direction he attacked from, he had to face the tip of Jiatu's stick to intercept him.

This is Qi Jiguang's Miao Dao swordsmanship——

Standing alone like a long seedling with a fixed knee saber gesture!
"Tsk... Sure enough, he came up with a defensive posture..."

Seeing Jiatu's posture, Noah didn't think much about it. He pointed the wooden stick in his hand at Jiatu, and at the same time went around to Jiatu's right side, preparing to use roaming to break Jiatu's defense.

However, Jiatu just stepped forward, changing from "Right Knee Knife" to "Left Knee Knife", and pointed the tip of the stick at the blond boy again.

"Tsk..."

Seeing Jiatu's posture so flexible, Noah couldn't help it.

He subconsciously wanted to launch an attack, but when he saw a long stick pointing at him as high as a seedling, he stopped again.

He kept walking in front of Jiatu, wanting to attack many times, but he couldn't find any openings.

"Is it really necessary to liberate the 'Western Swordsmanship Command'? Facing a cripple?!"

Noah thought subconsciously, looked at the power of the brain, but hesitated.

In addition to physical strength, the power of the external equipment is also something that trainees must consider.

Although the battery can be replaced after getting out of the ring, there is no means of replenishing power in the ring.

Considering that more than 15% of the power must be saved when dealing with Warren, his remaining power is running out.

Finally, after a stalemate for nearly a minute, Noah finally couldn't hold back and activated "Western Swordsmanship Control".

Following the loud buzzing of the terrifying computer, the blond boy rushed towards Jiatu without hesitation!

His movements were completely different from before. In just an instant, he crossed a distance of two or three meters, and he came to Jiatu in an instant!

but--

"See clearly and feel clearly."

Jiatu thought calmly, because of the orange drink, he entered the state of "no self".

No thought, no thought, soul and soul.

Noah's speed seems fast to others, but in Jiatu's eyes, there are still traces to follow.

When Noah rushed over, he was ready.

He didn't swipe away Noah's offensive in the first place.

Instead, he lured the enemy to go deep, deliberately waiting for Noah's stick tip to penetrate into his chest, and the moment when it was about to touch his chest——

Just raised the knife and flirted!

The swung stick hit the tip of Noah's stick, and the second half of Jiatu's "strong stick" hit Noah's first half of "weak stick". Because of the simple principle of leverage, Noah The tip of Ya's stick was knocked away by him without any suspense!

This is "Long Soldiers Fight Short Fights"!
The art of Austrian legend mentioned in Qi Jiguang's "Ji Xiao's New Book Long Sword"!
Noah only felt a huge shock at his fingertips, and his brittle and strong thumb couldn't hold the stick for an instant, making it almost fly out of his hand!

Shocked, Noah clenched the stick and wanted to retreat.

But at the moment when he was not holding the stick firmly, Jiatu had already made progress!

I saw him raise his stick to protect the front door, and at the same time hit the stick——

Miao Dao Sword Art · Head-Tie Style!
Noah's left shoulder was hit in an instant, and in a panic, he raised his sword to protect the left side, but he didn't want Jiatu to close the knife around the stick, and then cut it to the right——

Miao Dao Sword Art Brain Wrap Style!
It wasn't until he received two heavy blows on the shoulder that Noah realized that what he was best at was not to compete with people in swordsmanship, but to use flexible steps to advance and retreat greatly!
So he withdrew two steps in an instant, and Jiatu lost the contact distance.

"Damn...to be hit twice by a cripple..."

Noah was covered in cold sweat from the shock. He touched the place on his body where Jiatu had hit him, and found to his surprise that it didn't hurt very much.

"By the way, this cripple is so thin... He must not have eaten and exercised well... Don't be afraid, his attack power is not enough..."

Noah took a deep breath and glanced at Jiatu.

For the first time, he put away his contempt and took the enemy in front of him seriously.

Perhaps in terms of attack power, Jiatu is far inferior to Warren, but in terms of defense, he is even stronger than Warren.

"But strength and left foot are his weaknesses..."

Noah swept across Jiatu's body and couldn't help but sneered.

He didn't understand how he could be frightened into a cold sweat by such an opponent——

"It's just a paper tiger. If you don't have basic skills, it's just a show!"

.

Jiatu couldn't guess what Noah was thinking.

But he knows that all opponents will take advantage of his weaknesses.

It was true for Hena, it was true for Warren, and it was certainly true for Noah.

This is a perspective that can only be possessed after becoming a "weak person".

When you have a "weakness", then all "strengths" will be covered up.

Even if you are smart, optimistic, and considerate, you are still no match for a "cripple".

No one will care about your strengths, and everyone will point at your weaknesses and laugh wantonly.

It makes people angry, makes people helpless, makes people depressed.

But when all negative emotions return to calm, you can feel the "true self" at the bottom of the soul lake where you can't see anything.

When you are not expected by anyone, all the "expectations" in your heart belong to "your own" expectations.

When you are not recognized by anyone, the "confidence" in your heart is the confidence that belongs only to "yourself".

You can better observe yourself when you are not being observed by anyone.

When you have "nothing," you will know "everything about yourself."

Think about yourself, observe yourself, discover yourself.

Then you finally realize who you are who you are "nothing".

You will know the Self.

You are not strong, nor are you weak—

When everyone thinks they can easily prey on you—

Then tear them apart.

When everyone thinks they can easily beat you—

Just let them know what a real "weak" is!
Kato took a deep breath.

Facing the blond boy who gave up his defense and attacked wantonly, he raised the wooden stick in his hand——

Left foot in front, right foot behind, hands raised above head.

"Miao Dao Sword Technique Chao Tian Dao Shi!"

Jiatu glared at Noah with his eyes.

In order to break through his defense faster, Noah's attack this time is faster and more unreserved!
He expected that Jiatu's left foot was inconvenient, and he couldn't retreat easily - otherwise he would lose his posture.

And he also estimated that Jiatu's strength was insufficient, even the most powerful over-the-top big upper section could not easily defeat his own body!
As long as he can touch Jiatu with the tip of his stick, and attack against attack, he will definitely injure Jiatu severely!
"Even if I could... snap a rib or two off him..."

The dark thoughts in Noah's heart grew wantonly again.

However, this time it was Jiatu's long stick that activated him first!

.

Kato took a deep breath.

In the face of Noah's thrust, he did not retreat, just as Noah thought, his left foot could not support his body stably.

He seemed to be playing back and forth with Noah, but most of the weight of his body was on his right leg.

He couldn't take the gossip step and staggered attacks like Warren.

But that doesn't mean he can't use his left foot.

His left foot couldn't stand firm, but it was enough to support his body and switch his center of gravity from "right foot" to "right foot".

In this way, although he can't retreat to defend, he can advance to attack!
So he had planned all this long ago.

For Noah, it was his surprise.

But for Jiatu, this is his "victorious formula" that has been verified countless times!
That's how Hena lost to him.

That's how Warren lost to him.

So will Noah!

Jiatu took a step forward, swung his stick and chopped it down.

This time he didn't hold anything back, allowing the anger in his heart to spread freely.

The flame bursting out from the bottom of his heart burned to the sides of his cheeks, then passed through his arms to his armpits, and then spread to the ground through his tight abdomen——

In the end, the kick force of the right foot broke out completely——

Facing the sky sword force · Angry slash!

Noah's stick slid across Jiatu's armpit, tearing his cloak.

And Jiatu's long stick also slammed on Noah's right shoulder!

At that moment, he could still feel Noah's ease.

The blond-haired boy missed a blow, and immediately retreated, squatting down again, as if he wanted to aim the long stick at Jiatu's left chest.

However, the audience in the audience had already started to exclaim.

It wasn't until then that he realized that something was wrong.

He glanced at his right arm, only to find that it was hanging softly on his shoulder, and his collarbone didn't know when it completely bent down——

"—!"

Noah opened his mouth wide, but didn't make any sound.

His head was buzzing and he was already feeling the pain in his right shoulder.

But the extreme shock and pain made him lose his voice.

He didn't even dare to move his body, and pointed his left hand tremblingly at his right shoulder: "Save—save, save..."

"Get someone to carry the stretcher!"

Seeing such a situation, Yin Wenwu took the lead to interrupt the game. Amidst the exclamation, he instructed the middle-level trainees in the audience to rush to the emergency rescue area.

The scene was in chaos.

But the instigator on the ring took a breath, let go of the weapon in his hand, took two steps back, and leaned his body against the guardrail of the ring.

Jiatu looked at his right hand, completely calm.

Being able to break Noah's collarbone was something he never thought of.

Because of the same move, Hena's shoulders were only swollen for several days when she used [-]% of her strength.

But this time, he smashed Noah's collarbone.

I think it's the reason for "To Alice" besides the difference in the strength used.

Although he didn't understand why the change of the four fingers would increase the strength of his arms, it was the result.

He has no regrets.

After all, he had made up his mind to do this from the very beginning.

He forgot who said a word.

"Hate can be put aside, but it cannot be forgotten."

So give the hatred to the body until it is worn out, redeemed, or reawakened.

Therefore, keep hatred in your heart, imprint it in your soul, and turn it into your genes, because it should never be forgotten.

"Damn! Do you know who Noah is?! You should hurt him like this!"

Jiatu heard someone screaming at him from under the ring.

He subconsciously turned his head and glanced. It seemed to be the gloomy boy who had fought against Hua Lun and Hena before.

As soon as he thought of Hena's injury, he also played a certain role, Jiatu's face turned down.

He propped up his body a little bit, leaned over to look at the gloomy boy and said:

"If you feel unwilling, you can come up."

Jiatu pointed to the proctor Yin Wenwu at the edge of the ring:

"I still have nine rounds, you go ahead."
