Practice begins with collecting character cards

Chapter 139 The game
In the upper-class guest seats, all the bigwigs in the town spoke highly of the siblings.

They had seen the previous two rounds of competition, and their evaluations were relatively objective.

If it were placed in previous years, the siblings would have made it into the top ten.

However, the existence of Xu Gu'an this year is like a stumbling block in front of the siblings.

How difficult it is to get past Xu Gu'an.

"Then, let's start this duel." The two deacons on the side said.

Lu Rou, who used to have curly hair, had already tied a ponytail for herself at this time, her eyes were serious, and the long sword in her hand was out of its sheath, glowing white.

As the deacon's words fell, Lu Rou raised her sword and rushed towards Xu Gu'an in an instant.

Ding!
The swords collided with each other, but Lu Rou removed Xu Gu'an's extremely tyrannical force with a clever twist.

The blade moved towards Xu Gu'an's neck.

Xu Gu'an exerted force on his feet, kicked out with a moon bow step, and quickly swept back his body, avoiding Lu Rou's sword with absolute explosive speed.

Lu Rou's sword is delicate and delicate, and occasionally she has a clever move that flashes of inspiration.

He is also well versed in the way of four or two strokes, using softness to overcome rigidity. Speaking of which, this still somewhat restrains Xu Gu'an's fighting style.

The two of them went through dozens of moves in a few breaths, and Xu Gu'an gradually figured out the opponent's sword style, and soon began to gain the upper hand again.

There is even a sense of ease with cat and mouse gradually.

Xu Gu'an now has mastered a Dacheng sword technique and a green grade sword technique, and has already possessed a good attainment in sword technique.

In addition, the cultivation base of body training is higher than that of the opponent, so it is impossible to lose.

Lu Rou stabbed straight again with a sword, Xu Gu'an sideways avoided, raised the long knife, and fell down suddenly.

Lu Rou made another sword move, preparing to divert the force of Xu Gu'an's sword aside as before.

However, when the swords collided, Xu Gu'an's sword had no strength at all.

It was a feint, a seemingly powerful feint.

Lu Rou's heart tightened, and her small face immediately tensed up.

She had a premonition that something was wrong.

Xu Gu'an is not a reckless man who can only use brute force, this is one of the changes brought about after mastering the Tianluo knife technique.

For Lu Rou, this is undoubtedly the loss of the final way to win.

At this time, Xu Gu'an exerted all his strength, and the knife fell on the head, and the knife was drawn very fast.

Lu Rou's old strength was exhausted, and her new strength was not born, so she could only raise her sword in a hurry to parry.

clang!
With a violent sound, Lu Rou's entire body was directly blasted out of the ring by Xu Gu'an.

A competition is a competition, there is no such thing as sympathy, only respect as an opponent.

"Donglan Wuyuan, Xu Gu An wins!" The referee immediately judged that Xu Gu An won.

The other deacon hurried forward to check on Lu Rou's condition. After all, Xu Gu'an's stabbing just now had a lot of momentum. God knows how many injuries Lu Rou suffered.

"How are you?" The deacon stepped forward and asked.

At this moment, Lu Rou had already rubbed her scrambled head and got up, her complexion was pale, she was biting her lip, and there were still two swirling tears in her eyes.

Xu Gu'an's knife just now was really scary. Lu Rou almost thought that she was going to die in the ring, but she still had lingering fears at the moment.

The deacon checked, but found that although Lu Rou seemed to have fallen hard, she didn't have many injuries on her body, even under the copper skin, she couldn't scratch the skin.

Obviously, Xu Gu'an's actions were quite measured.

Defeating the enemy does not hurt the enemy, and it is quite easy to lift the weight as if it is light.

On the ring, Xu Gu'an held the handle of the knife and looked at the broken blade in two, feeling a little helpless.

He admitted that he used too much force for the last knife, but he didn't expect that the Wenyin knife was broken directly by this collision.

Shaking his head, he picked up the old buddy's broken blade and got off the ring.

In the next game, he will change the knife.

"Brother Xu, I have a spare here, why don't you use it first." Lu Liang took out a long knife with a sheath and said.

Although it is a spare, it is also a good white knife, which is much better than Xu Gu'an's silver-patterned knife.

"No need, this is for you."

Suddenly a familiar voice came from behind the two of them.

"Old Qin." The freshmen from the Donglan Martial Academy in the surrounding area saluted immediately when they saw that Qin Sanli had arrived.

Qin Sanli nodded, and then handed the long knife in his hand to Xu Gu'an.

"Since you have learned the Tianluo sword technique, you should be equipped with a suitable sharp blade. This sword is called Heishui. It is a saber I used in my early years, so I will give it to you as well."

"This..." Xu Guan hesitated a little.

When he took the knife, he had already realized that it was a green long knife.

Qin Sanli gave away such a valuable item as soon as he said it, but it made him feel a little hot.

"Okay, just behave well and don't lose my reputation." Qin Sanli waved his hands, and before Xu Gu'an could say anything, he returned to the stands with his hands behind his back.

Seeing this, many students around looked at Xu Gu'an again, with more envy in their eyes.

Being favored by the famous Qin Sanli and inheriting his sword skills is enough to make most of them envious.

"Haha, so I won't need my spare knife." Lu Liang put away the knife he was going to give and said with a smile.

He is not envious, after all, he also has his own saber technique inheritance, in his own opinion, his Folding Wave Saber is not inferior to Qin Sanli's Tianluo Saber.

"I really owe a big favor." Xu Gu'an thought to himself, looking at the heavy long knife in his hand.

The black scabbard and black handle seem to be completely integrated.

Xu Gu'an held the handle of the knife, and the long knife came out of its sheath.

The blade is straight, black on both sides, about the width of a palm, and looks extremely tough. The edge of the blade is a bit bluish-white, extremely sharp, and looks like a precious sword that cuts iron like mud.

And there is a faint green halo, looming and scattered, proving that its quality is indeed green.

Xu Gu'an held it in his hand, and the long knife was heavy, which was really suitable for Xu Gu'an.

Randomly slashed twice, taking advantage of it.

"Old Qin, just gave away your black water like this? I remember that when Dean Li asked you for it, he didn't give it."

When Qin Sanli came back, Fang Yuansong couldn't help laughing, and there was a bit of surprise in his words.

"That kid has inherited my saber skills, and Heishui is the most suitable choice for him. I don't want this saber to become my funeral object in the end, and it will never see the light of day." Qin Sanli shook his head and said calmly.

Hearing this, Fang Yuansong smiled and didn't say anything more about it.

"Immediately, that apprentice of yours is going to compete with the geniuses of the Weng and Shen families. In my opinion, that kid has a chance of winning, but it's not that great."

Qin Sanli frowned slightly, and said: "I am not in a master-student relationship with him. The martial arts academy does not accept apprentices, so don't try to trick me."

"Okay, okay, not master and apprentice." Fang Yuansong shook his head helplessly.

Qin Sanli stared at Xu Gu'an in the waiting area, "If this kid had met me a few years ago, he would be the No. [-] scholar this year!"

Fang Yuansong was noncommittal.

In fact, both of them recognized Xu Gu'an very much.

She even thought that the days when Weng Yan and Shen Xi could overwhelm Gu An were decreasing day by day.

Xu Gu'an is the only genius.

Call ~
With a heavy panting sound, Wu Shitian returned to the waiting area and sat down on his seat with a tired face and some injuries on his body.

It can be seen that in this third round, it was not easy for him to win.

His eyes fell on Xu Gu'an who was not far away.

Compared with him, Xu Gu'an, who also finished the third round of the competition, looked much calmer.

Except for a broken saber, Xu Gu'an didn't have any injuries on his body, not even his clothes were damaged, and he seemed to be in good condition.

Comparing the two, no matter how dissatisfied he is, he still knows the strength gap between the two of them.

Not to mention that Xu Guan's opponents were all full-score players from other martial arts schools, and since his final assessment score did not exceed [-] points, the opponents he faced were also students with second-tier scores.

It can be said that the two are not on the same level.

"Both came from a mountain village." Wu Shitian became more and more irritable.

"We must win the fourth round!"

According to the rules, only by winning four rounds in a row can he rank among the best in the second rank of students, and he will also have the opportunity to challenge the first rank of loser group students.

If he wins at that time, he will completely break away from the status of the second class of students, and the treatment in the martial arts academy will be the same as that of the first class of students.

For him, this is very important.

After a while, Lu Liang ended his third round of competition and won the final victory.

But at this stage, Lu Liang's opponent is also very strong, and it's not easy for him to win, it's a lot of consumption, and he has suffered a lot.

"After three rounds, the top ten is expected. If we win another round, the top ten will be a sure thing!" Lu Liang took a deep breath and said.

He knew that the opponents in the next competition would only get stronger and stronger, and this fourth match was also a huge challenge for him.

Xu Gu'an nodded and gave a few words of encouragement.

Then, there is no more.
In the fourth round, Lu Liang's opponent was confirmed to be Weng Yan.

When the announcer announced the list of the fourth round matchup, it was like a bolt from the blue to Lu Liang.

"It's over." Lu Liang looked as if he had aged ten years.

"It's okay, there will be a showdown in the loser's group afterwards. With Brother Lu's previous performance, the top ten should not be a big problem." Xu Gu'an comforted.

Even in his opinion, the probability of Lu Liang wanting to defeat Weng Yan is infinitely close to zero.

It's not that Lu Liang is weak, but that Weng Yan's performance in Lien Chan this time is really too strong.

So far, I haven't even seen a player who can make Weng Yan a few more knives, which can be seen.

Weng Yan looked more like a senior who came to fry fish in the fresh fish pond, which made people feel unmatched.

Now that there are not many people in the winner's group, Lu Liang was chosen to be Weng Yan's opponent, which is considered a direct sacrifice due to bad luck.

"Brother Xu is right. I won't struggle in this battle. I will try my best to keep my form and save it for the loser group." Lu Liang came back to his senses and made a new decision.

Xu Gu'an didn't say much, and stroked the black water long knife with one hand.

The more he fiddled with it, the more he liked the new knife.

It can only be said that high-quality long knives are different.

Soon after, Xu Guan's opponent was also made public.

"Donglan Martial Academy, Xu Gu'an, confront Donglan Martial Academy, Shen Xi!"
