Chapter 18: The first game of the final

The Royal Arena of the Thrall Kingdom is one of the oldest buildings in the Thrall Kingdom. It is all made of granite. A three-story circular arcade surrounds the huge arena in the middle. The fourth floor is the highest. A pavilion built with gold inlaid ivory. On the stone pillars in the three-story arcade is a collection of various scenes carved by the most outstanding sculptors of the Kingdom of Thrall according to classic legends. Under the eaves of the fourth floor are arranged two hundred and forty hollow protruding parts inlaid with various gems. When the king's great magician group will inject magic power under the leadership of the chief great magician, these two hundred and four Ten protruding parts will project light beams of various colors, and a double-layer magic barrier will be formed between the light beams, covering the arena and the gallery respectively. This magic barrier can not only prevent the battle on the arena from spreading to the audience, but also Shelter from the wind and rain, and can even avoid violent direct sunlight, keeping the entire duel field refreshed.

When I came to the duel arena, the most dazzling pearl of the Thrall Kingdom was surrounded by various vendors and spectators waiting to enter. With the sound of fifty drums set around the duel, it surrounded People on the side of the duel field slowly gathered into ten crowds, rushing into the duel field on drums.

Mark is not with me. As the champion of the fourth group, he and the other contestants have already entered the duel. My position is the first row closest to the arena. This is also the seat of the relatives and friends of all contestants. With the stop of the approach drum, the grandstand of the Royal Duel Arena with a capacity of 100,000 people is already full. Excited audience. The eight huge stone pillar torches around the arena spit out flames into the sky one by one, and the flames interweave the royal emblem of the Kingdom of Thrall above the duel arena. As the magicians of the Great Magician Group of the King's Family, dressed in purple magic robes inlaid with gold rims, surrounded the king and appeared in the ivory pavilion, the two light curtains reflected colorful light covering the arena and the duel arena. When the light curtain gradually became transparent, the contestants appeared in the center of the arena.

Mark looked a little overwhelmed, yes, he was still a fifteen-year-old boy, playing the game under the attention of 100,000 people, it was indeed a harsh psychological test. In fact, I was also a bit surprised by the momentum of this competition, which was completely comparable to the various international sports events I saw in my previous life. However, without various leadership speeches, the game started directly under the announcement of the referee.

The first players on the field are a sword and shield player and a swordsman. The game is very exciting. The sword and shield defender uses a shield to defend and attack with a sword. The swords of the swordsman are powerful and powerful. stern. The basic skills of both of them seem to be much more solid than those of the preliminary rounds, but at best, opponents at this level will only cause some trouble for Mark, and not a threat. The game continued, and soon the first three games were over. Because there are no people who make me feel good, I can't help but doubt that this kind of competition may not make much sense to Mark now.

Mark's game is scheduled for the fourth game. In fact, the more kao, the weaker the opponent, and there is still some gap between folk masters and the children of aristocrats who rely on military service. The old saying of the past life is poor, civilized and wealthy. In fact, it is also said that martial arts education must have a good supply of nutrients, and the financial ability of the poor often cannot support the success of martial arts.

"Next, let us welcome the first-level swordsman Mark Havel and the great axeman Jack London to play in the fourth game." With the referee's announcement, Mark and his opponent appeared.

Ok? Hatchet? Seeing Jack London's weapon made me feel refreshed. The short-handled axe is not very useful. Since Jack London can use this weapon to enter the finals, there must be something unique.

As expected, after the referee announced the start of the game, Jack London lifted his hatchet, forming a circle of axe shadows around his body, like a tornado straight at Mark. Mark Seeing that the opponent is coming fiercely, he had to give way to avoid the opponent's edge. But at this moment, the other party used the huge inertia of the giant axe to gently change the angle, and turned strangely, and continued to rush towards Mark.

I have seen this kind of technique on Jin. This is the unique cyclone axe of dwarves. Of course, Jin's axe is much better than Jack London's. It seems that Jack London must have seen dwarves use giants. Axe method. In fact, this kind of offense is really difficult to deal with. It looks powerful and can produce a certain amount of psychological pressure on the opponent. The route of the giant axe also covers the vital points of the body very well, making the opponent feel incapable of starting.

It was the first time that Mark encountered this style of play. Under the aggressive attack of his opponent, he had to retreat step by step. At this time, there was a huge false noise from the audience, which made Mark, who had already messed up the rules, even more chaos, even The pace cannot be guaranteed to be stable. As I watched, I was anxious and mumbled involuntarily: "Mark, you can do it, be calm, don't panic, you will definitely find the opponent's flaws..."

At this time, Mark, who was in disorder, staggered, and was about to be hit by his opponent's giant axe. At the moment of crisis, Mark rolled on a lazy donkey, embarrassed and dangerous to avoid the bad luck of the giant axe. A huge laughter came from the audience.

But at the moment when Mark evaded the attack in embarrassment, it was obvious that Jack London's axe slowed down, and he turned around in a circle before relaunching the offensive. This flaw is undoubtedly a dawn in the dark for Mark. Yes, the opponent's body is mainly based on the inertia brought by the giant axe. The powerful inertia not only increases the power of the giant axe, but also needs to be used well. , Is very energy-saving, only a small amount of energy can be maintained on the offensive. However, everything has advantages and disadvantages, and the huge inertia also makes this kind of attack method need to spend more effort in order to stop, and even cause serious damage to the people who use such moves.

After the opponent Lou had a flaw, Mark regained his footing and started to interrupt the opponent's rhythm with frequent changes, occasionally taking advantage of the moment when the giant axe swung away, and swiftly launched an attack. Although these attacks were all false moves, they successfully disrupted the opponent's inertia, the giant axe slowly slowed down the speed, and could no longer form an effective attack.

At this time, Mark posted it without hesitation, and with a light sword, it hit the opponent's throat.

Four games are over, the morning game is over, and for Mark, today's game is also over. I walked out of the duel with the crowd, and Mark was already waiting for me outside.

"Teacher, I'm sorry, my game was too ugly." Mark lowered his head and his face flushed. It seems that the first time he played in front of the audience made Mark really feel a lot of pressure.

I smiled and patted him on the shoulder and said, "But you won, didn't you?" Seeing Mark still pulling his head, I continued: "Do you think other people's opinions are important? Or because of other people's false voices? And laughter makes you think you are a clown?"

"No," Mark whispered: "However, even if you win such an ugly competition, it still makes people feel boring." After that, Mark raised his head, looked at me and asked in confusion, "Why do you use the same martial arts? When I get up, I can knock down the enemy beautifully, but I am so clumsy when I use it. I even have to roll on the ground to get out of my life?"

…Of course, apart from the fact that elves are lighter and more dexterous than humans, you have only practiced a few years of kung fu, and you want to compare with my three hundred years of experience, which is a hundred years of experience. . But I can't say that yet, immature teenagers are easily injured.

So I comforted Mark and said: "No matter what the outside world thinks, you are still you. You will not be ugly because of others' ridicule, nor will you be extraordinary because of others' praise. You are not practicing enough now, you know, there is only water. Only when you are still can you reflect the changes in the outside world. If your mind is calm enough, today's game should be able to win easily. It seems that your mind is not trained enough."

After speaking, I took Mark: "Let's go, after all, it's a victory. Let us go back and tell Jenny the good news, Baron Mark~"

Hearing my voice deliberately stretched out, Mark smiled, and he seemed to be a kid.
