Chapter 456: Ji Xun's Trick Sprained Everyone's Waist

"I think our Count Raphael Knights are not bad. Why is our trial evaluation only B? Humph! I want to see how powerful the reserve knights recruited by the Duke of Landon this year are!"

"You know what, that team may really have some skills. You see, there is not only a lizard guy in the team, but also a dwarf. The mythical bloodline is inherently more advantageous than us in the card player stage. Not to mention S-level, there is still A-level evaluation strength."

"That was when Duke Landon founded the country in the Old Continent. The lizards and mountain dwarves saw an opportunity and wanted to invest in the long term. Hehe, nouveau riche! They just rely on this external advantage. I want to see how capable they are against the elite knights of the Red Dragon Royal Family."

"."

Although all the people who can sit in the auditorium are nobles, there are still differences in levels.

The young master of the Duke's family, Sack, is still one level lower than the princes and princesses of the three kingdoms.

Moreover, the flattery of the "Fourth Kingdom" has made the Landon family the target of public criticism.

So when Sack heard that someone else wanted to challenge his guard team, although his expression was not very good, he was completely helpless.

Besides, the founding of the Langdon family this year did attract a lot of hatred.

The new students in the auditorium gloated over the misfortune and swarmed to the trial field.

Everyone wanted to see the team of the Duke of Langdon's Mansion suffer.

On the other side, Ji Xun and six others were wearing equipment in the preparation room of the trial field and discussing tactics.

There were five people who received the award, but the actual team was six.

They also knew that without David, the entire team was like a dagger without a tip, and the combat effectiveness would be greatly reduced.

Since they were a team of six, the Red Dragon Royal Group also agreed to six against six.

In this way, Ji Xun and his friends really had the confidence to fight.

Since it was a competition between students, of course, fairness should be guaranteed as much as possible.

The Royal Academy prepared sufficient training equipment for the students.

The room was filled with various weapons, armor, and basic spell cards.

The two teams that will start soon can only wear and use the equipment provided by these academies.

Ji Xun and the other six people think it is a good thing.

If we really compare equipment, although the Duke of Langdon’s Mansion is not bad, it is still far behind the three royal families.

Especially some relic-level equipment and ultimate cards.

If there is no restriction, it is not a contest of strength, but a contest of family background.

Gang Duoduo is wearing a set of heavy armor that he has chosen.

The armor is very simple and there are not too many spells engraved on it.

But the thickness of this basic armor is proportional to its defense.

This has a natural advantage for the dwarves.

He chose the heaviest set and it was easy to wear.

While Gale was choosing his leather armor and dagger, David had no need for equipment and was sitting cross-legged to accumulate energy.

Ji Xun and Seri were choosing suitable spell cards.

[Fire Bomb], [Quicksand], [Gas Bomb], [Flash], [Acid Splash]. They are all entry-level cards.

There are so many of them, almost covering all the basic spells that can be seen on the market.

The Royal Academy is rich and powerful, so you can take any of these cards as long as you can use them.

Ji Xun also picked them with interest.

After all, some of these cards he had never seen before, they were practical spells optimized by the dragon card masters of the southern continent over the years.

The room was filled with the sound of people wearing equipment.

Although several teammates were not afraid of the upcoming battle, they were a little nervous.

The strength of the knights of the Red Dragon Royal Family is obvious to all, and they are definitely strong men picked from thousands of miles away.

Although Ji Xun and the other six can get rewards if they lose, it is still embarrassing.

Not only them, but also the instructions of Young Master Sak.

Gang Duoduo was straightforward. He put on his horn helmet and asked at the same time: "Su Lun, Se Li, you two are more intelligent than us. How do you think we should fight?"

As soon as this was said, the others looked at Ji Xun and Se Li.

During these days, the two people made decisions in the team.

Seri was holding a staff to try the effect of magic energy concentration. When he heard the question, he said casually: "It's hard to win. Our opponent, the Red Dragon Guard, is the reserve knights of the 'Golden Sun Group'. They are the best in the army in terms of selection and training. And they all have actual combat experience on the battlefield, so their strength should not be underestimated."

When they said this, everyone frowned.

The Golden Sun Knights are the direct lineage of the Red Dragon royal family, and their strength is gained through fierce battles.

Even the reserve knights are elites selected from thousands of people.

No one would question their strength.

But even so, several people did not want to lose.

Serri thought about it, expressed his thoughts, and then said: "The strength of that team is no worse than ours. I think our only chance of winning is still on David."

As he said, he turned to look at David who was sitting cross-legged and gathering energy, and said: "Your boxing skills have the ability to hurt the second level. As long as we can seriously injure one or two and break the opponent's formation, we have hope."

This is indeed the only possible chance of winning that everyone can think of.

But there are also monsters in the Red Dragon Royal Knights, even if David is strong, he will not be much stronger.

Zhuo Sha thought of something, frowned, and said: "But. Will the Red Dragon Royal Family know David's strength and deliberately arrange targeted tactics?"

Hearing this, Ji Xun, who had been silent until now, spoke.

He chuckled: "Even if they didn't know it before, I think they might know it now."

"Yeah. I think so too."

When he said this, Seri also looked sternly.

If the opponent doesn't know David's strength, it is really possible for them to use tactics to succeed.

But if you know it, it will be difficult once you are targeted.

The competition, which suddenly felt a little hopeful, reached a deadlock again because of this sentence.

No one thought of a better way to deal with it.

But looking at Ji Xun's always calm expression, Seri asked again: "Su Lun, do you have a better tactic?"

Ji Xun didn't care about winning or losing, but he was really interested in the reward.

You can always give it a try.

The corner of his mouth raised a slight arc and he said: "I have a plan. If it works out, there is a high probability that I can win. But if I really win, my reputation may not be very good."

Upon hearing this, Seri's expression became strange, and he vaguely guessed that this "plan" might be a bit special.

But Gang Duoduo patted his chest and said excitedly: "As long as you can win! If you really want to be on the battlefield, who cares what tactics you use."

There is a training ground in the Royal Academy specifically for students to practice battles.

After all, the academy not only teaches extraordinary knowledge, but also marches and forms formations.

Many of the students here will be generals and senior officers leading troops in the future, and they need some venues to simulate actual combat.

Not long after, the Dongyi training ground was filled with spectators.

Not only this year's students, but also many instructors from the college came.

Many people are curious about what happened to the only "S-level" evaluation team among the freshmen this year.

The Thirteenth Preparatory Knights of the Red Dragon Royal Family, representing all the new students who were dissatisfied, entered the training ground first.

As Ji Xun expected, they had just obtained secret information about Duke Langdon's mansion from other nobles.

Learned some details about Sark's previous assassination.

Therefore, their attitude towards the Langdon family team changed from being dismissive to being prepared for it.

Along the way, the black-robed witch captain was still reminding: "You guys, be careful. The intelligence says that the slave is very powerful. His weird qigong punch can easily penetrate armor. Even if it's Kevin, you have to be careful. You must not let him." He found an opportunity."

Hearing this, the heavily armored knight in the team nodded: "Yes."

The black-robed witch captain added: "I suspect those guys might use that slave to use the 'wing-clipping tactic'. So Quinn, you and Willy must keep an eye on him throughout the whole process!"

At this point, the other two men in martial arts uniforms, who looked like they were also fighters, also responded: "Okay!"

One of them said disdainfully: "I've heard of that boxing style, it's called [Ba Fist]. There was an old guy from the Eastern Wasteland who was rampant in various martial arts gyms for a while. But in the end he was beaten by my teacher It was suppressed. The punches are powerful, but the shortcomings are also very obvious. Anyone who does not understand the boxing method is simply reckless and needs the support of Qigong training, so the slave is just a disciple. No matter how powerful he is, don’t worry, Captain, I can restrain him with [Jiyi Pou Feng].”

It's not that this person is arrogant, but that the Southern Continent has the complete heritage of many top fighters.

This trainee knight named Willy is the direct disciple of Kyokushin-ryu.

Not just him, almost everyone in their team is a leader in various professional sequences.

Even if you know your opponent is strong, you still have the confidence to win.

This is the confidence that family inheritance brings to them.

"Hey, the opening ceremony hasn't been so lively for a long time."

"Young people need to be a little energetic. But having said that, which team do you think will win?"

"The team from the Red Dragon Royal Family. Although the team from Duke Langdon's Mansion is also good, after all, it was a team that was formed only a month ago, so the tacit understanding will always be worse."

"I'm more optimistic about the boys from the Langdon family. I read the trial report before. Although I didn't see how those guys fought, but they can survive in the hands of second-level assassins, which is no longer a problem. The disciples can do it. Besides, the lizards are natural mages, and the dwarves are the best warriors. Their individual qualities are no worse than those of the dragonborn. And I heard that the slave is also very good in qigong."

"But having said that, in every turbulent situation, some amazing people will always appear. I don't know what amazing people will appear among these young people in the future."

"Oh, look, people are coming."

"."

While waiting for the two teams to enter, the students were whispering to each other in the audience, judging the upcoming battle.

Even the tutors at the college were chatting with interest.

At this moment, Ji Xun and six others also entered the scene.

Ji Xun and the other six people did not enter the venue after being arranged, but they heard the cheers outside and were late on purpose.

While walking, Ji Xun was still arranging tactics: "We will try our best to contain the close combat in their team later, and then David, try your best to kill the opponent's magic system first. I heard that the witch is the captain, concentrate the firepower." Kill him first."

This is a very standard "wing-clipping tactic".

Control the opponent's thick-skinned melee card masters and kill the crispy magic masters.

In this way, it is like a bird with broken wings, and the remaining people are left to be slaughtered.

However, Ji Xun was talking about tactics, and he didn't seem to notice it at all. He had already taken a vantage point in the distance, and the six members of the Red Dragon Royal Family who were waiting for them to come out were staring at them eagerly.

Among them, the witch captain, who was wearing a black robe and had a totem on his face, with piercing pupils, was staring at Ji Xun's lips with all his concentration.

The distance was too far, and ordinary people couldn't hear what the six Langdon family members were discussing.

But the witch used lip-reading skills and clearly "heard" their tactical arrangements.

After hearing Ji Xun's arrangement clearly, the witch captain raised the corners of her mouth slightly and said confidently in her heart: "Hey, is it really a wing-clipping tactic?"

Just as I expected.

She is less likely to doubt it subjectively.

After all, this is the most reasonable tactic that she can think of that her opponent can use at the moment, and the only one with a chance of winning.

However, the facts are surprising.

the other side.

What came out of Ji Xun's lips was completely different from the conversation the team members heard: "This is a desert terrain, which is good for us. Stealth can be easily targeted. We will proceed according to Plan B later. Zhuosha, you will be used as bait." '.The opponent will definitely attack. David, don't attack. You kill the guy who comes to sneak attack first."

This tactic is not a wing-clipping tactic, but a luring enemy tactic!

In order to be absolutely fair and to test the comprehensive ability of the students, the terrain of the trial field is random.

Only after they come out will they see the environment.

This is the foundation of the Royal Academy, which can create different combat environments at will, such as forests, deserts, swamps, and waters.

Rao knew that Ji Xun could ventriloquism, but seeing him say one thing and hearing another, Gang Duoduo's thoughts were a little weird.

It wasn't until they heard the complete plan that they realized that "Su Lun" already knew the opponent well.

In his own words, "In such a famous team, those people are all very strong knights, and I happened to know some of their methods."

right!

That’s right!

Ji Xun had carefully observed everyone in the auditorium before.

Of course, those teams that got "A+" had special observations.

Not surprisingly, these people will all be strong men in the future.

Coincidentally, the members of the Red Dragon Royal Family are so famous that their inheritance is even more famous.

Ji Xun had heard about it early.

After seeing the surnames of several people, he had a pretty good guess about their inherited families and their abilities.

He happened to know the mysterious inheritance of the witch captain.

Not only is he proficient in animal language, he is also proficient in lip reading.

So from the very beginning, he was scheming against his opponent.

This simple tactic may not be able to hide from high-level card masters, but it is completely enough to deal with the scheming of a group of teenagers who are only thirteen or fourteen years old.

However, Gang Duoduo and several of his teammates are also teenagers.

When they first heard about the three ABC plans in the lounge, they were shocked.

Can a duel still be played like this?

They originally planned to fight with all their strength after taking the stage, and the outcome would depend on fate.

Unexpectedly, the duel has already begun from the entrance.

And that plan B

It’s also hard to describe.

Sister Zhuo Sha and lizard man Seri, who are "baits", have complex and resentful expressions.

Who calls them two crispy-skinned people?

Originally, they were supposed to be the main force in dealing output and ensuring logistics, but now, they are just decoys.

Anyway.

Gang Duoduo and others felt that they would never have thought of such a tactic.

Both teams entered the venue, and the audience's emotions rose.

The waves of cheers were almost all cheering for the team of the Red Dragon Royal Family.

After all, no matter how you look at it, the momentum of the six Red Dragons is stronger than the other crooked team.

However, Ji Xun's methods could be hidden from his opponents, but not from the instructors on the stage.

One of the old men with a white beard looked at "Su Lun" who seemed to be arranging tactics at odd hours, and seemed to have discovered something. He couldn't help but smile and sighed: "Interesting, interesting little guy."

The young instructor beside him had not yet reacted, "Ah, Dean Di, what do you see?"

Whitebeard is the deputy dean of the School of Art. He is proficient in sound waves. Only then did he see the trick and explained: "That kid is really clever. The words coming out of his mouth are different from the sound waves vibrating in the air. It should be He used some kind of secret technique to mislead his opponent. Hey, that little witch from the Hobbes family may suffer a loss this time."

"It's true!"

At this statement, several younger mentors around him were all shocked.

Only then did they realize that the Langdon family team had already started plotting against each other before even entering the ring?

This surprised the instructors, but they also suddenly understood why this team received an "S-level evaluation."

The training ground is very large, about the size of four or five football fields.

Ji Xun watched helplessly as such a large place slowly turned into a desert ruins.

The stone slabs under their feet also turned into soft sand, and some broken boulders appeared in the field of vision, which could be used as shelter.

This is the luxury of aristocrats. Using enchantments to change the environment on a large scale is an advanced means of using elements.

One energy consumption may cost an average person a lifetime salary.

Standing on the sand, the referee was still explaining the rules.

Roughly speaking, there are no restrictions, but you cannot use any "equipment" other than those distributed by the academy.

Ji Xun and the other six were on alert.

Two hundred meters away, the other six people were also staring at them closely.

When their eyes met, it seemed that fierce sparks could be splashed.

In the team, the teammates could not hide their nervousness, but Ji Xun looked normal.

When he saw these people, he immediately entered the state of deduction.

The outcome of this battle was unknown to others.

But for Ji Xun, the moment he stood opposite the six people of the Red Dragon Royal Family, it was already a foregone conclusion.

A series of deduction lines appeared in his mind. No matter which leg the opponent took first or which spell card he used, it was already in his calculation.

"Hehe."

Ji Xun saw the surrounding environment and had already determined the last uncertain factor.

So, in his eyes, the ending was already doomed.

Just thinking about it, the referee suddenly disappeared in the center of the field and shouted at the same time: "The competition begins!"

As soon as the voice fell, the six people of the Langdon family and the six people of the Red Dragon Royal Family made almost the same movements.

The magic systems of both sides released [Smoke Spell] and [Storm Spell] almost at the same time.

In an instant, the entire venue was covered with gray fog and yellow sand, and visual perception was restricted at once.

The twelve people disappeared on the spot according to the tactics discussed by the team before.

"Hey, are these guys from the Landon family quick enough to think of the same tactics as the Red Dragon."

"In this desert environment, interfering with vision is indeed the best means. However, if there is a good means of perception, it is difficult for them to attack effectively. Those guys from the Landon family are in trouble. Quinn from the Red Dragon team is a scout from the 'Dragon Eagle Family', and his vision will not be restricted so easily."

"Yes. I think this duel will soon be decided."

"Look, both sides seem to be using the 'feather clipping tactics'! Hey, it's interesting. Just this team tactical reaction, the plans of the Landon family are at least A-level."

"Yes. The same tactics, it depends on the commandos of both sides. Whoever can get rid of the opponent's fragile profession first will win most of the game"

"."

The college trial field has a special perspective barrier.

Even though the venue was filled with yellow sand, the audience could still see vague figures through the barrier.

The new students saw people from both sides of the battle moving towards each other, and they all thought it was a feather-cutting tactic.

In their opinion, this tactic was a pure head-on competition of strength.

However.

At the instructor's seat, several high-level card masters saw this opening and their eyes instantly became amazed and surprised.

As soon as the battle started, masters of their level could already see the end.

A certain white-bearded old man said with a smile: "I didn't expect them to use this tactic. Hey, it's over."

"Yeah. This tactic is not very clever. But it just feels outrageous. How did these guys come up with this tactic? If they really win by this method, I'm afraid people will gossip about them."

"They are indeed very smart. But a competition is a competition. If it really comes to the battlefield, these guys from the Langdon family are better."

"Indeed! The tactic of luring the enemy from below and attacking from above and taking them by surprise looks simple, but it is the best choice from any angle. However, the choice of using teammates as bait, um, is probably something that only a very sinister guy can think of."

"."

After saying this, several other instructors also talked about it.

In addition to being amazed, they were still amazed.

Since they sat here before, they never expected to see this scene.

When they thought about the ventriloquism before going on stage, the whole tactic was suddenly clear in their eyes.

There were some trainee instructors and a few old students around the instructors. They didn't understand why the top masters of the academy came to such a conclusion.

However, the next second, they saw that the winner had been decided.

In the trial field, yellow sand filled the sky.

The storm and smoke had completely restricted visual perception to the point where one could not see one's hand in front of one's face.

However, in the Red Dragon Royal Team, the boy named Quinn had eyes as sharp as an eagle. He clearly saw two figures rushing over in the dim sand and dust, and immediately reminded his teammates: "They are coming!"

This was exactly what they had expected before. The opponent planned to take advantage of the environment to assassinate the back row at the first time.

Listening to the "pop, pop, pop" sound of gas explosion in the air.

No need to think, it was the Qigong master slave.

There was also a ghostly figure, which must be the assassin.

As an elite, this judgment ability is still there.

Since they knew that the opponent was coming back, the Red Dragon Royal Family certainly would not let the opponent succeed.

The witch captain who stayed in place had already used the substitute technique, and Quinn and Willy were waiting for them to come!

One can absolutely sense, and the other can restrain the Qigong master.

The opponent has no chance of a successful sneak attack.

As long as they hold on for a moment, their double assassin lineup will be enough to kill the opponent's fragile profession!

However, looking at the two figures in the yellow sand, the four red dragons who stayed in place were ready for battle.

In a blink of an eye, they were surprised to find that the opponent stopped?

What does it mean?

If the melee system doesn't take advantage of the opportunity now, what are you waiting for?

The four witches thought it was some tactic.

However, knowing the power of the Qigong master's slave, they didn't dare to break the four people's defense rashly.

"Quinn, what's going on?"

"I don't know. Those two guys are hiding behind that stone. Should we?"

"Wait a minute. There might be a conspiracy."

"."

The battle was forced to pause for a few breaths.

However, because of this strange confrontation, things suddenly changed dramatically.

Without warning, a scream came from a distance.

"Be careful of sneak attacks!"

"Ah!"

"Damn! How could that guy be here!"

"."

After a few breaths, there were only "bang" and "bang" hammers, and the screams were gone.

The four people who were defending the Red Dragon position realized that the battle over there had already happened.

The screams were from the two assassins in their team!

"What's going on? What happened to Cosen and Ciri?"

The four were all confused.

They didn't understand what happened at all.

The two assassins in their team were elite. Even if the assassination failed, at least they could advance and retreat without any hindrance.

However, listening to the screams just now, it seemed like they were being calculated?

"No! We were tricked, that slave didn't come over at all!"

After distinguishing the special explosion of the Qigong punch in the battle just now, the witch captain realized that they were tricked.

The other person hadn't figured out why there were two Qigong masters in the other team, and questioned: "But. Among the two people who just rushed over, clearly..."

The witch's eyes turned, and she had figured out something, and she said angrily: "Damn it! That guy used [Qi Explosion] to simulate the Qigong master's stepping in the air, we were fooled!"

The normal wing clipping tactic is that the opponent's Qigong master and assassin will come to attack and kill their magic system.

However, in fact, the Qigong master didn't move at all.

An unknown guy came to attract their attention!

No wonder the two guys didn't move when they got close, it turned out that they didn't intend to come over to fight hard.

Just "bait"!

But it's too late to figure it out now.

The situation of the duel changes rapidly.

If the opponent takes action, it means that the two assassins in their team are in danger.

Just now it was six to six!

Now it has become four to six!

The advantage is no longer on the side of the Red Dragon Royal Family.

The witch captain's face darkened, and she cursed in her heart, but she was also very decisive and immediately changed her tactics: "Quick! Let's rush up and kill those two guys first!"

In her opinion, the opponent killed two of her teammates.

Then they killed the two "baits" as soon as possible, and the difference in numbers would be immediately narrowed.

And since the Qigong master is not there, the bait is not much of a threat.

However, the facts once again disappointed the Red Dragons.

They could think of it, how could Ji Xun not think of it?

The bait was none other than Ji Xun and Gale.

When they rushed up, Gale had already run away.

Although he might not be able to run away, he could at least entangle for a while.

Ji Xun himself was a magic card player, and he knew he couldn't run away, but he still successfully disappeared.

"The assassin ran away, Quinn, go chase him!"

"The other guy is gone!"

"No, that guy sank into the quicksand."

"Damn it! What a despicable trick!"

"."

When waiting for the four Red Dragons to rush up, they were refreshed by Ji's "sand-sinking tactics".

No sound could be heard in the sand, but Ji Xun could still feel the movement of the angry trampling on the sand dunes.

If the other party wanted to kill him, it would be possible.

But it would take time.

This delay was enough for David and his men to come to reinforce.

At this moment, the audience stands were dead silent.

Countless pairs of eyes were staring at the battle between the two teams in the duel arena.

However, instead of the expected fierce battle, they saw such a bizarre and weird scene.

Everyone, whether it was a mentor or a student, was stunned.
