Chapter 168 168 Champion

Chapter 169 Champion

While Ronin and Galil were talking, the contest on the square had already begun.

James drew out his knight's sword, and the fiery red fighting spirit exploded. The huge energy generated made him turn into a cannonball and rushed towards his opponent at a staggering speed.

Ronin raised his eyebrows. With just one opening move, he could see that this man's fighting style was very wild, and his strength might be above Rogna.

Sure enough, the following battle confirmed his guess.

James's swordsmanship was very sharp, and his strength and speed were slightly better than Rogna.

After each collision of the long swords, Rogna's figure became a little unstable. When a series of close attacks arrived one after another, his disadvantage was gradually magnified.

Soon, after a bombardment, James raised his leg and stepped on Rogna's breastplate. The latter was kicked away and fell heavily to the ground.

"I'm sorry, you lost." James said condescendingly.

Rogna rubbed his chest, picked up the sword and stood up, "Congratulations, you won."

On the terrace, Viscount Marvin, who was just excited, turned cold and looked gloomily in the direction of Orson, knowing that the other party did not want Rogna to win the third game before sending people to the field.

"I didn't expect Rogna to lose so quickly."

Galil sighed: "Baron Bernardo Monzon is said to be bronze-level, and this James should be his son. I didn't expect him to have such a strong talent."

Roning nodded.

Since James participated in the competition, it means that the other party is under 30 years old. He is so young but has the strength to easily defeat Rogna, so his talent is naturally not weak.

"But Rogna is only 21 years old, and should be much younger than James. It's hard to say who is better in talent."

While the two were talking, James in the center of the square looked in the direction of Roning.

He respectfully performed a knight's salute and said loudly: "Baron Ronin, may I challenge you?"

After the words fell, the nobles on the terrace and corridor suddenly quieted down. None of them expected that someone would designate a challenger.

Even Ronin did not expect such a scene. He was still enjoying himself.

"Uh, Sir James, the knight competition does not actively challenge this link."

As the host, Bretton reminded him to help Ronin out.

But facing such a challenge, it was impossible for Ronin not to respond directly.

There were so many nobles watching on the terrace, including Princess Blanche. If Ronin chose not to accept, wouldn't it make others think he was afraid?

Ronin had already decided to participate in the knight competition to win the championship prize, and his strength had been exposed. It was the same whether he played in the morning or in the evening.

"Of course."

Ronin stretched out his hand, and Tom, who was waiting on the side, came up and handed over the Liuyan Sword respectfully.

He held the hilt of the sword and walked towards the square, saying, "The Wushan family is never afraid of any challenge."

Instantly, thunderous applause and cheers broke out around.

The eyes of the noble ladies were full of little stars.

"Malik, Ronin is more handsome than last time!"

Marina from Lake Town said to her brother beside her. She was a little annoyed when she remembered that she wanted to get into Ronin's tent that night.

If she had insisted a little longer at that time, would it have been possible?

Malik coughed, "Sister, be careful with your words, Jamie will misunderstand."

Beside Marina stood a fat man with dead eyes. This was the second son of Viscount Dennis, the object of Marina's marriage.

Jamie laughed and said very gentlemanly, "Marina is right, Ronin is indeed very handsome!"

In fact, not only them, but even Blanche's hands under her long skirt were clenched, her little heart was pounding, and she silently shouted Ronin to cheer up in her heart.

Lulans, who was sitting in the front center, smiled. The Wushan family never feared any challenge, and he felt very comfortable hearing this.

"Thank you, Lord Roning, for giving me this opportunity."

James still maintained his etiquette, "Please!"

"Come on!"

Roning raised his hand and used a fire cloud, and the range-type flame impact rushed towards the opponent.

James was not panicked and used the same move.

"Boom!"

The two fan-shaped flame impacts collided halfway, erupting with a violent roar, and the heat waves turned into strong winds that swept around.

"Roning's fighting skills should be stronger!"

Many people saw that Roning's fire cloud devoured the opponent's fighting skills, and swept towards James with the remaining power.

Roning's attribute affinity is strong, and the power of the fire attribute fighting skills is naturally high, plus the Liuyan Sword in his hand has an amplification.

The same fighting skills will naturally be stronger when used.

"There's something wrong with his sword."

James keenly caught the difference in the long sword in Ronin's hand, and knew that he might not be able to gain the upper hand in a fighting competition.

He put on the fighting armor all over his body, slashed the air wave with a sword to separate the remaining power of the fire cloud, and then rushed up, wanting to defeat Ronin with the fast attack method that defeated Rogna.

Unfortunately, he picked the wrong target this time.

Ronin's swordsmanship combines the strengths of McKen and Rydar, and he is good at defense and fast attack.

Facing James's fast attack, Ronin defended flawlessly.

"His swordsmanship is fast, but his strength is not enough."

As the long swords collided, Ronin analyzed James' swordsmanship level.

"And the accuracy of the long sword is not good, and there are more flaws when changing attacks and defenses."

These were all mentioned by Rydar when he was teaching him swordsmanship. Now he found his own shadow in James.

On the terrace, Rulans was more and more pleased, and the smile on his face became more and more. At the same time, he was more and more amazed at Roning.

He couldn't understand why this kid's defensive swordsmanship was so high.

The other nobles were the same. They thought that Roning's strength was exaggerated in the Colosseum incident, but they didn't expect that what the outside world said was true.

Orson frowned. He didn't understand why Roning had become so outrageous in just half a year.

"It's my turn."

In the square, Roning, who had been fighting, chose not to defend anymore. His strength burst out, and he directly picked up the opponent's sword with a sword.

The whole person rushed forward, and the right half of his body hit the opponent's body like a weapon, and the two people's fighting armor was twisted and deformed under the huge impact.

The sudden change, coupled with the huge impact, made James completely unable to react.

As he retreated, he swung his sword, and the huge flame slash was intended to delay Roning's attack.

But Roning's speed exploded completely, not only avoiding the attack, but also catching up with the opponent's flying figure.

"Strong Wind Palm!"

Roning slapped his palm, and the wind-attributed fighting spirit in his palm condensed into a violent wind, which hit James.

"Boom!"

The opponent's armor was completely disintegrated, and the whole person hit the ground heavily like a sandbag with a broken rope. The coat was torn open, revealing the soft armor inside.

James only felt the blood in his chest surging, and then a mouthful of blood spurted out.

"You lost." Roning said condescendingly.

"I..."

James seemed to be about to admit it, but he didn't expect that the blood in his throat confused his voice, and he couldn't speak, so he could only nod silently.

Roning turned his head to look at Bretton, who was still shocked by the sudden end of the game just now.

It seemed that they were evenly matched, but how could it be like this in an instant?

"Breton, don't stand there stupidly. Announce the result and ask the waiter to carry the injured Jenny down for treatment."

"Oh, okay."

Breton came back to his senses, "The winner... is Ronin!"

"Good!"

On the terrace, Viscount Marvin cheered loudly, as if Ronin's victory made him happier than Rogner's.

Others also began to applaud and cheer.

Blanche applauded and said, "Missy, give five hundred gold coins to the brave knight!"

"As you wish, Princess!"

With the reward from Her Royal Highness, other nobles also gave out gold coins. Of course, the amount they gave was far behind five hundred.

The reason why Blanche only gave five hundred was actually to take care of the face of Wushan Castle. After all, the reward for the champion of the knight competition was only one thousand gold coins.

Ronin didn't expect to make an extra profit, and he couldn't help but be very grateful to Blanche.

This girl is sensible.

With Ronin's strong victory over James, the next game was more monotonous, because everyone knew who would win the championship this time.

However, in order to warm up the crowd, knights from various families still came up and challenged in the name of asking for swordsmanship advice.

Roning defeated his opponents one by one.

More than ten minutes later.

After Bretton called three times, no knight continued to challenge.

"Since there are no challengers continuing to participate, I can declare that this Wushanbao Knight Competition has ended successfully!"

He looked at Roning in the field, "The champion of this competition is..."

"Wait!"

Bretton subconsciously thought there was another challenger.

But when he saw the identity of the speaker, he was stunned.

"Brother, is there anything else?"

Roning nodded, he looked up at the terrace, "I want to invite Baron Leisen from Sean to come down here in the name of the champion of the knight competition, the baron of Shanlin Town, and the eldest grandson of the Wushan family."
