Chapter 202 The Power of a Sword
Make a bet, place a bet.
Sure enough, not long after, He Bufan and Xiaobao temporarily set up a booth, set the odds according to the tentative ranking of the Holy Academy, and started a gambling game.
The students of the Excalibur Academy saw it, and their noses almost crooked.
But everyone looked at the distance again, and the three dragons obediently lying beside Xiao Chao could only bear it.
When all the masters saw this, they also frowned.
"Hmph, it's too outrageous!"
The master of Alchemy Academy snorted coldly, and looked at Jian Chenzi.
Jian Chenzi also shook his head, but he didn't want to have a conflict with Xiao Chao again because of this trivial matter, and alarmed the child of the Holy Dragon King.
"Haha, this He Bufan is really talented. It's a pity that he is not a drinker. Otherwise, even if my old alcoholic breaks his leg, I will recruit him into the Dionysus Academy!"
The old drunkard laughed, thinking it was quite interesting.
At the same time, the branch martial arts meeting officially started, and the Excalibur Institute launched a big sign, which showed the order and position of the competition.
There are 10 arenas, and the competition starts at the same time, and a round of elimination system is adopted.
In other words, as long as you lose a game, you will be eliminated. The winner, of course, advances to the next round.
In addition, the location of this competition was also specially arranged by the Divine Sword Academy. The disciples of each branch were arranged in 10 arenas to prevent their own people from beating their own people.
In addition, according to the strength shown by everyone in advance, the strong will also be separated, and they will only meet at the end.
In the end, the top 2 of the 10 arenas will continue to come out and compete for the final ranking together. Then, according to the ranking, Tiandi Shengyuan will have different rewards.
After the rules were announced, 10 mentors stepped onto the 10 rings to act as referees and announced the start of the game.
There are at least 5 places in nearly a hundred branches, but some branches are very weak and very partial, and almost no one joins.
Therefore, the number of people in the competition is less than 400 people, and there are more than 30 people in each ring, and it is required to select the last 20 people within one day.
Because the Divine Sword Academy has already separated the strong, the speed of this first round of competition is very fast, and the winner is almost always determined by a few moves.
"Excalibur Academy Lianying, win!"
"Gongsun Ao of Shengong Academy, victory!"
"Xiao Fengyun in Xiaoyaoyuan, victory!"
...
On the arena, the outcome was quickly determined.
Xiao Chao and the others were also separated, went up to compete for a round, and won easily.
In less than half an hour, Xiao Chao's ring had already finished the first round, and half of them were eliminated, leaving 17 players.
Xiao Chao was lucky, he had a bye in the second round and directly advanced to the third round.
On the other side, the gamble between He Bufan and Xiaobao also started, and some students who like to speculate came to place bets.
In this second round, everyone's strength is much closer, and the speed of the game is actually slower than the first round.
Another half an hour passed, and the third round began.
This time, there were 9 people left, and Xiao Chao's luck had not yet reached the level of heaven-defying, and there was no bye.
In the third round, among the remaining 9 players, they were either direct or chief. Everyone was very close in strength, and the speed of the game became slower and more difficult. In the second round, there was a difficult fight.
In the end, it took the two of them half an hour to decide the winner.
"In the next match, Xiao Chao, headmaster of the Xiaoyao Academy, will face Helian Rongbo, the personal successor of the Battle God Sword Academy."
Xiao Chao walked out of the corner unhurriedly and headed for the ring.
Whoosh.
Before him, a blue-clothed disciple walked up to the ring, and a swallow turned over, jumped onto the ring neatly, and then looked gloomyly at Xiao Chao who came over.
Xiao Chao looked at the disciple in blue and felt familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it.
"It is estimated that when Lianying surrounded us just now, he was also inside!"
Xiao Chao didn't care at all, walked to the front of the arena, pressed his palms on the platform of the arena, his body rose into the air, and landed on the arena neatly.
"Hey, Master Xiao Chaoxiao, you have to be careful, today I, Helian Rongbo, will definitely take revenge for that day."
Helian Rongbo sneered, a blue sword in his hand flickered, and his true energy flowed away. He was already a 2nd level warrior.
"Oh? Have I met you? What's our hatred?"
Xiao Chao looked at him strangely, completely unable to remember when he offended this person.
Helen Rongbo was so depressed that he almost vomited blood.
After he finished speaking harshly, the other party actually said that he didn't remember him at all, which immediately made him feel like he had been punched in the air, which was extremely uncomfortable.
However, he felt that Xiao Chao was just trying to annoy him on purpose, but he hadn't forgotten it.
"Hmph, Xiao Chao, even if you use your tongue, I'll knock you unconscious in a short while!"
Helian Rongbo let out a loud shout, and the blue sword light pierced out, and the cold light came out, and the sword energy was cold, as if it had entered the midwinter moon.
"Oh? I remembered, you are the guy who was kicked unconscious by Xiaobao!"
Xiao Chao dodged the blow very easily, and then said suddenly.
When Helian Rongbo mentioned fainting, he wore blue clothes again, finally reminding Xiao Chao of the person who was knocked unconscious by Xiao Bao when he was attending a class at the Divine Art Academy that day.
Helian Rongbo's face turned livid.
I didn't remember it just now, but now I brought it up deliberately, and even yelled it out in front of the public, and many people nearby heard it.
"Well, Xiao Chao, you deliberately humiliated me. Today I must stab a transparent hole in your body to relieve the hatred in my heart!"
The canthus of Helian Rongbo's eyes were completely cracked, the sword light roared, and the dark blue true qi gushed out, making Xiao Chao spit out gusts of white qi when he breathed.
"Piercing a transparent hole in my body? It's a pity, your strength is still a lot worse!"
Xiao Chao laughed, and stabbed out with the herring sword in his hand, it was a Zigai Long Xing move in "Zigai Sword Art".
One move is used, as if the emperor's frame is on tour, majestic and imposing like a dragon.
Two colors of true energy, one red and one blue, attached to the sword light, making the sword's true energy surge like a tide and burst like fire.
With this move, the surrounding icy air immediately dissipated, from the cold winter of the twelfth lunar month to the scorching sun.
boom.
The herring sword directly picked up on Helian Rongbo's blue long sword, with strong true energy and bursting strength, it directly knocked Helian Rongbo's long sword into the air, and then the long sword hit Huanglong directly, and stood on the ground. Helian Rongbo's neck.
"I told you, you don't have that strength yet!"
Xiao Chao smiled lightly.
"I... I will lose like this!"
Helian Rongbo's eyes widened, unable to believe the result.
"One move, unexpectedly only one move, and Helian Rongbo was packed!"
"In the third round, he can still win cleanly. The strength of this Xiao Chao is enough to be compared with the chief of the top ten branches!"
"It's really strong, Helian Rongbo is a 2nd level martial artist, he can knock away the opponent's sword with one move!"
...
The students in the audience also showed shock.
"Third level martial artist, and practiced "Flying Dragon into the Sea Jue" and "Tenglong Transforming the Sun Jue", the true energy is twice as much as others, it is not difficult to defeat Helian Rongbo with one move!"
"Master Xiao Chao, he will definitely be in the top 10, no, top 3!"
...
The masters of those branches had a unique vision, but there were no surprises.
