The competition on the second day lasted until the evening.
Twenty-seven winners were announced, and four of them, Zhao Clan Martial Hall, competed. In the end, only Jiang Fa and Qin Xuan were left to advance to the third round.
Xu Feng lost to a female disciple of the Flying Swallow Martial Hall. The woman's movement skills were too fast. Xu Feng had no brute force, but could not even touch the opponent's clothes. In the end, she was kicked in the back of the head and fainted on the spot. When she woke up, she was already lying in the medical shed outside the school with an ice pack on her neck.
Li Chen was defeated earlier. He met Li Kunlun of the Boulder Martial Hall. The two had the same surname but were from different families, but the gap in strength was so huge that it was disappointing.
Li Kunlun only threw one punch, and Li Chen flew out of the ring with his sword. His right arm was fractured and he had to recuperate for at least a month.
Fortunately, the injuries of both of them were not too serious. Zhao Zhong went to the medical shed to see them in person. Seeing that they were fine, he asked Wang Shi to arrange for someone to send them back to the martial arts gym.
"Jiang Fa, Qin Xuan, you two come here."
Coming out of the medical shed, Zhao Zhong called the two of them to a secluded corner beside the school field.
"The real tough battle comes next."
Zhao Zhong glanced at the faces of the two people. "The first two rounds only screened out the weakest group of people. Starting from tomorrow, the remaining ones will be all An Jin masters in the middle and late stages. If you want to enter the top ten, every game will not be easy."
He paused and his eyes fell on Qin Xuan: "Qin Xuan, your path has been figured out a lot. Among the people watching today, at least three or four are seriously watching your moves. If you meet a strong opponent tomorrow, you don't have to hide it anymore."
Qin Xuan nodded, looking calm.
"Disciple understands."
Zhao Zhong looked at Jiang Fa again, his eyes a little complicated.
He is becoming more and more unable to see through this disciple.
The sword skills are Major Accomplishment, and the body skills seem to be Major Accomplishment, and it took only a few months to be able to fight Late Dark Force...
Now that I think about it carefully, did he ignore the disciple in front of him too much?
Jiang Fa's dazzling performance,
For the first time, his opinion of himself was shaken in his heart. For the first time, he felt that the foundation of martial arts was not that important.
He pondered for a moment and said solemnly, "Jiang Fa, although your body skills are good, after tomorrow, your opponent will not give you a chance to dodge calmly. When it is time to use your full strength, don't hide your clumsiness, lest you go too far than you can do."
Jiang Fa cupped his fists. "Master taught me, and I have taken note of it."
Zhao Zhong saw him nodding and wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything and just waved his hand.
On the way back to the martial arts gym, Tang Jin'er followed Jiang Fa, chattering about every match he had watched today, from Gu Qingyan's kicking skills to Qin Xuan's punching power, from Zhou Tai's spear to Wang Yanzhi's fast sword, her cheeks turned red with excitement.
Jiang Fa says "hmm" from time to time, which counts as a response.
Tang Jin'er chuckled, "I think if Senior Brother Jiang attacks with all his strength, he will definitely knock everyone down!"
"You are the only one who talks too much." Jiang Fa rolled his eyes.
I don't know where this girl's almost blind confidence in him came from.
At night.
Jiang Fa went back to his room as usual, meditated, and did not rest until the middle of the moon.
On the eighth day of June, at the school grounds in the east of the city.
Today is the third round of the martial arts competition. Twenty-seven will advance to fourteen. It is still one-on-one elimination. The opponent will be determined by drawing lots. One person will advance directly with a bye.
Jiang Fa was drawn to Arena No. 6, and his opponent was a disciple from the Boulder Martial Hall named Han Chong.
This person is the third member of the younger generation of the Boulder Martial Hall. He is trained as Late Dark Force and uses a mountain axe.
The ax technique is rare in Qingshan County. This kind of heavy weapon requires extremely high strength, and it can be used to defeat ten guilds with one force. For ordinary warriors, let alone accepting the move, the strong wind that can tear open monuments and crack rocks will make people unable to get close.
Han Chong won two consecutive rounds and was in the limelight.
"Jiang Fa? I heard you run very fast."
Han Chong stood on the stage, carrying a half-man-high stainless steel mountain ax on his shoulder.
He is nearly two heads taller than Jiang Fa and has a broad build. The contrast between the two is sharp when they stand together.
"Don't you like running? Today I want to see where you can run."
Han Chong grinned, suddenly took the mountain ax off his shoulder, and slapped it on the table.
"Bang!"
The arena shook slightly and made a dull sound.
The people watching in the audience exclaimed in surprise.
"With such a heavy mountain axe, the bones will be broken if you rub it, right?"
"Isn't Jiang Fa fast? I wonder if I can avoid it this time."
Tang Jin'er sat in the stands and clenched her little hands nervously.
Zhao Clan Martial Hall Everyone watching the battle looked less relaxed than before, and it was obvious that they were sweating for Jiang Fa.
Only Jiang Fa himself still had the same indifferent expression.
He walked to the center of the ring and stopped.
"Let's get started."
Han Chong snorted coldly and stopped talking nonsense.
As soon as the referee's flag was waved, he shouted loudly, held the ax in both hands, raised it high above his head, and struck down with one blow.
There is no temptation in this axe, and it is full force as soon as it is released!
The ax blade cut through the air, causing a piercing scream, and struck Jiang Fa head-on like a mountain bearing down on top.
Jiang Fa's figure swayed and he lightly slid two steps to the left.
The mountain ax struck his right shoulder and hit him hard on the ring.
Boom!
The ax opened a two-foot-long crack on the surface of the iron-wood ring, and debris flew like rain.
"What a strong force!"
Someone in the audience took a breath.
In the stands of the Flying Swallow Martial Hall, Pei Yaner curled her lips. "It's like this again, hiding here and there, there's no point in it at all."
A female disciple of the Flying Swallow Martial Hall next to him also answered, "That's right, Senior Brother Han Chong struck down the arena with his axe, and the ring was split open. What about him? He didn't even dare to fight back."
"Sister Liu, what do you think?" Pei Yan tilted her head and asked Liu Ying.
Liu Ying stared at the figure dodging left and right on the stage, and said softly, "You will know after watching."
Pei Yan snorted, "I think he just relies on his body skills to bully those cumbersome ones. When he meets a real master, no matter how fast his body skills are, it will be useless."
Gu Qingyan sat aside and never made a sound.
Ever since she knew that this person had a great human body, she had been paying close attention to him.
Just because both of them are taking the same path.
Her eyes followed Jiang Fa's figure closely, and an imperceptible solemnity flashed through her eyes.
Others couldn't see it, but she could see it clearly.
The reason why the man on the stage kept dodging and never took the initiative was because he was clearly adapting to his opponent's rhythm.
Just like the first game against Sun Xian and the second game against Qian Liu.
He first uses his body skills to understand all the opponent's moves, rhythms, and habits, and then waits until the opponent is exhausted or has a flaw, and then makes the final decision.
This is an extremely confident style of play.
In the arena, Han Chong's offensive was like a violent storm.
The mountain ax danced vigorously in his hand, and wherever the ax blade passed, the air was torn with a sharp whine, one ax after another, the ax movement was continuous, with almost no gaps.
His ax skills are extremely profound, and I'm afraid he's not too far from Major Accomplishment.
Although it is a wide opening and closing, it is not reckless. The connection of each ax is extremely tight, forcing Jiang Fa's body position more and more narrow.
"Hide! You should hide again!"
