Chapter 167: Xiang Dingqian Goes to Battle
In a room in an office building adjacent to the playground, Xia Xuan looked through the French window at her sister who had defeated Wen Chenwei in the ring, and the corners of her mouth curled up unconsciously.
"She has grown a lot... It seems that going to the Demon City may really be the right choice."
Xia Xuan knew very well that the incident of Liushamen alone would not make Xia Yue change like this.
Is this because she put down her pride and wanted to improve her strength from the bottom of her heart, or... wanted to catch up with someone?
Xia Xuan's eyes fell on the handsome boy next to Xia Yue, and she narrowed her eyes slightly.
Is it him, the one who saved Xiao Yue on Chishayan Island?
"As expected of sisters, your sister is also gifted." Opposite Xia Yue, a young man with a faint smile slowly spoke.
This young man has purple hair, and his face and temperament are very ordinary, but his eyes reveal a little amazing confidence.
That is the strong confidence in his own strength after countless battles.
"That student who used the power of starlight was already pretty good at this age, but he was defeated by your sister.
Although she is still a little immature now, after a few years of experience in the academy, she should be able to grow to a certain level."
Xia Xuan turned around and looked at the purple-haired young man in front of her, and smiled: "Thanks to the special envoy of the Marquis, my sister is really honored."
The purple-haired young man smiled, and then restrained his expression.
"So have you considered whether to join our Sky Patrol Division?"
...
Around the arena.
"Wen Chenwei... actually lost?!"
Xia Yue defeated Wen Chenwei, which was beyond everyone's expectations.
Among the many students in Modu, many of them were former students of Modu No. 1 Middle School.
These people knew that Xia Yue had always ranked behind Wen Chenwei in Modu No. 1 Middle School.
As a result, a year later, Xia Yue actually grew to the point where she could defeat Wen Chenwei?
At the Modu Academy competition seat, Ji Xuan and others felt heavy-hearted.
The outcome of the solo match with the Imperial Capital Academy was unpredictable. Now, not only is there one less person than the Imperial Capital Academy, but also the core combat force Wen Chenwei is missing!
Yan Ziyu looked at Xia Yue, who was carried back to the Yaodu Academy spectator seat by Su Yuan, and her expression became much more solemn.
As an opponent who had fought with Xia Yue many times before, Yan Ziyu could see that Xia Yue was different now.
In this year, not only did her strength increase a lot, but she also became more flexible and smart in battle.
She was no longer the proud and simple violent fire method that relied on her powerful output ability to overwhelm her opponent head-on.
Excellent tactics, decisive and powerful blows, and tenacious will in the final stage!
It was these that allowed Xia Yue to win in the end, and none of them could be missing.
…
"This girl from Yaodu Academy is very strong..." The long-haired boy at the Imperial Capital Academy said solemnly.
Xiang Dingkun nodded slightly: "Well, but she has completely lost her fighting power. When you challenge the Demon Capital Academy later, they should give up directly. In this way, we can "pass" a round and preserve our strength."
In the eyes of Xiang Dingkun and other people in the Imperial Capital, it is naturally a good thing for Xia Yue to defeat Wen Chenwei.
And defeating Wen Chenwei in this way of losing both sides is even better!
In this situation, the Imperial Capital Academy undoubtedly has a huge advantage.
...
The game continues, and the 5th round begins.
The one sent by the Imperial Capital Academy is the long-haired young man.
"The Imperial Capital, Ji Cheng, challenges the Demon Capital Academy."
Su Yuan stood up and said directly: "We give up this game."
Everyone was not surprised, this was an inevitable result.
Because Xia Yue won the last game, the person responsible for defending the Demon Capital Academy is still Xia Yue.
So the Imperial Capital Academy will definitely challenge Xia Yue, who has almost completely lost her fighting power, so that they can safely pass a round.
The Demon Capital Academy gave up, Xia Yue was eliminated, and it was the turn of the Demon Capital Academy in the 6th round.
"Ji Xuan, what should we do?" Yan Ziyu, the boy with glasses, and Yang Xu who was eliminated all looked at Ji Xuan.
In this round, Ji Xuan's choice is crucial.
Should we balance the situation and attack the Imperial Capital College;
Or should we ensure the second place and eliminate the Demon Capital College which also lost two people?
After just a little thought, Ji Xuan made a decision.
"Wen Shu, you go and challenge the Demon Capital College."
"Okay!" The boy with glasses nodded and jumped onto the stage.
"Mo Du College, Xu Wen Shu, challenge the Demon Capital College!"
The long-haired young man Ji Cheng who just stepped down from the Imperial Capital College smiled and said, "Mo Du College, a very wise choice."
Xiang Dingkun nodded, "If it were me, I would probably choose this too."
This is a wise choice. If the Demon Capital College challenges the Imperial Capital College in this game, even if it wins, there will still be 3 people left in the teams of the three colleges.
In this case, it is still very difficult for the Magic City College, which has lost Wen Chenwei, to defeat the Imperial City College and take the first place.
So it is better to use the manpower to deal with the Demon City College, eliminate the Demon City College as soon as possible, and ensure that they can get the second place.
At the Demon City College.
Su Yuan turned his head and looked at Xiang Dingqian: "If you want to fight Xiang Dingkun, go on the court now. Defeat him and you can challenge the Imperial City College in the next round."
Xiang Dingqian didn't hesitate and nodded immediately: "Okay!"
After that, Xiang Dingqian strode onto the stage.
Yang Xu asked in confusion: "This man looks like Xiang Dingkun, the captain of the Imperial Capital."
Yan Ziyu said speechlessly: "He is Xiang Dingkun's brother."
Yang Xu was stunned: "Xiang Dingkun's brother? Then why is he in the Demon Capital Academy!"
"Brothers are not in harmony!" Yan Ziyu rolled his eyes at him, "Don't you go online? You don't know this?"
Yang Xu snorted: "Why should I know so much about the Imperial Capital and the Demon Capital? I'm not that gossipy."
"Oh, you mean I'm gossipy?" Yan Ziyu raised his eyebrows and glanced at Yang Xu, "It seems that you didn't suffer any serious injuries before, and now you want to go to the infirmary to lie down?"
Yang Xu swallowed his saliva: "No...no!"
The two of them were talking back and forth, and it seems that they often quarreled.
However, Ji Xuan ignored Yang Xu and Yan Ziyu, but frowned slightly and looked at the two people standing on the ring.
In this match, Ji Xuan thought Su Yuan would first send out Zhang Tai, who was at the middle bronze level, but he sent Xiang Dingqian directly.
If Xu Wenshu lost this match, and the next round was the turn of the demon city to challenge, and then challenged his own magic city academy, that would be quite bad...
"Are you going up now, Xiang Dingqian..." At the Imperial City Academy, Xiang Dingkun looked at Xiang Dingqian on the stage, and his attention could not help but focus a little.
Ji Cheng and others around him did not say anything. Obviously, everyone knew Xiang Dingkun's brother, so it was difficult to express any opinions.
On the stage, Xiang Dingqian took out a bright silver spear with a cold light!
Xiang Dingqian knew very well that in order to deal with the exchange competition, he must have a handy weapon!
And this bright silver spear was made by Xiang Dingqian at a great cost, specially before the exchange competition and asked the academy's weapon refiner to tailor it for him.
As for the boy with glasses on the opposite side, he took out a wide-backed iron ring knife that was very inconsistent with his temperament.
The knife is four fingers wide, with nine metal rings on the back. When it is swung, there is a rustling sound of metal.
Both sides stood still, and the battle began.
Xiang Dingqian and Xu Wenshu moved at the same time, both of them moved very quickly, and they collided in an instant.
When the swords and spears met, I didn't expect that Xu Wenshu, who was thin and had a scholarly air, was not much weaker than Xiang Dingqian in strength.
What was even more surprising was that a burst of rapid sounds came from the nine iron rings of the big knife, which made Xiang Dingqian's eyes lose focus for a moment.
Although he reacted quickly, in a moment, Xu Wenshu's next slash came, and Xiang Dingqian could only respond hastily.
The two fought at high speed, and the swords and spears kept clashing.
And Xiang Dingqian was like a high-ping warrior. Every time he clashed, the sound of the iron rings sounded, and his movements would slow down by half a beat.
In this case, all the strength and star power could not be fully exerted.
Seeing this, Zhang Tai frowned and said, "This Xu Wenshu from the Magic City is quite interesting. His knife seems to be able to affect Xiang Dingqian through sound."
Su Yuan took a few glances and shook his head slightly, not worried.
"Sound attack is indeed rare, but he just relies on the characteristics of the knife in his hand. The star card master who is really good at sound attack is much more difficult than this.
It is far from enough to suppress Xiang Dingqian with this little trick."
Sure enough, as soon as Su Yuan finished speaking, several Tiangang Qi in Xiang Dingqian's body rushed out and wrapped around the bright silver spear, and immediately made a dense and crisp knocking sound of "Dangdangdang...".
And as soon as this knocking sound came out, the sound from the iron ring sword that interfered with Xiang Dingqian was immediately offset by most of it!
"A trifle!"
Xiang Dingqian snorted coldly, and with the Tiangang Qi wrapped around the spear, he suddenly raised the star power in his body and swept it out with a shot!
Facing Xiang Dingqian's sweeping spear, Xu Wenshu quickly held up his broad-backed sword to block it.
However, the huge force from the spear made Xu Wenshu's hands numb, and he was pulled back several steps!
Without waiting for Xu Wenshu to stand firm, Xiang Dingqian stepped forward again, waving the bright silver spear to attack at high speed. Under the silver energy, every strike of the bright silver spear had great power.
Stab, stab, point, flick... The spear's force was like a rainstorm, and silver stars flashed randomly. In an instant, the situation was reversed and Xu Wenshu was suppressed!
"Su Yuan, it's just as you said!" Zhang Tai looked at Xiang Dingqian who turned the disadvantage into an advantage on the stage, and his expression was excited, "Xiang Dingqian is amazing, he can actually come up with such a method!"
In fact, Su Yuan was also a little surprised. Although he didn't think that Xu Wenshu could suppress Xiang Dingqian by harassing him with the sound of the iron ring, he didn't expect Xiang Dingqian to respond by "hitting the spear with the energy of the heavenly power".
This is not as easy as it seems. It requires extremely delicate control of star power and energy!
"With such star power control, the fifth star nest... no, I'm afraid the sixth star nest has at least opened up two or three star caves."
Su Yuan's heart moved slightly. It seems that Xiang Dingqian has really put a lot of effort in his practice in the past few months.
Not only did he create a blue star weapon and break through to a high level, but he also made a great breakthrough in breathing!
"It's worthy of being a person who practiced breathing to the point of vomiting blood and fainting!" Su Yuan recalled the situation of the breathing progress test at the time, and couldn't help sighing again.
Zhang Tai stared at the situation on the field and asked: "Su Yuan, this game, what do you think is the probability that Xiang Dingqian can win?"
"Nine out of ten." Su Yuan said casually.
"Hmm?" Zhang Tai turned his head in surprise, "But it's just the beginning. This Xu Wenshu should have many tricks that he hasn't used yet, right?"
Su Yuan smiled and said, "This Xu Wenshu himself is not a star card master who uses the power of sound.
He is not as strong as his opponent in frontal strength, but he spends his mind on some fancy things...
I think he is probably the last among the five people participating in the Magic City.
With the blessing of Tiangang Qi, Xiang Dingqian's frontal combat ability is extremely strong.
Even if Xu Wenshu has other means, as long as Xiang Dingqian plays steadily, this game will be smooth sailing."
In fact, this is also the case. Not long ago, Yang Xu, who broke through to the high level, squeezed out the last bronze middle level in the Magic City Academy's quota.
So there are exactly five people who have now advanced to the bronze high level among the freshmen of the Magic City Academy.
And Xu Wenshu is indeed the weaker of the five, about the same as Yang Xu.
As the battle progresses, Xu Wenshu uses various means frequently.
In addition to sound attacks, he also used skills such as illusions and traps, but none of them caused much trouble to Xiang Dingqian.
First, these sound waves, illusions, traps, etc. were of low quality and level, and their effects were limited.
Second, Xiang Dingqian would rather spend more star power to play steadily and steadily, and did not rush for success, so his advantage became greater and greater.
A few minutes later...
Xu Wenshu fell to the ground, watching Xiang Dingqian swinging a huge painted halberd and slashing down the Tiangang general, and exclaimed: "I give up!"
In the end, Xiang Dingqian summoned the Tiangang general and ended the battle with his powerful frontal ability, without even using the enhanced skills.
