Chapter 278 Broken! Vest Fell Off! (43)
"32 seconds! It's unbelievable. Player Roy only took 32 seconds to pass the level!"
Roy looked back and realized that he was the only one around. It seemed that he had taken the lead again.
"I admire it. It seems that the evaluation on the verses and mead is indeed justified."
In one minute, Arnest cut off the armed branch on his side with a sword and became the second person to pass the test. He came to Roy and showed a convinced smile.
"I didn't expect you to be nearly twice as fast as me!"
"My skills are more suitable for melee combat."
Roy disagreed. Arnest just didn't know how to recognize. If he could also recognize, I believe it would not take longer than him to pass the test. In a one-on-one battle, especially a swordsman's battle, knowledge would not be enough. The effect is very limited, and you have to learn the three subsequent realms to gain an advantage.
And it’s hard to say that other schools don’t have similar, incredible techniques.
After another ten seconds, Sylvia puffed up her cheeks and became the third person. She glanced at Roy and Arneste with a resentful look.
"Powerful swordsmen are so popular..."
Roy laughed dryly, and Arnest was ashamed.
The competition rules of this event are indeed too biased towards swordsmen.
Sylvia's physical fitness and close combat skills are not bad. She is definitely at the top level among Rikka, but compared to Roy and Arneste, who have almost reached the top, she is a little behind.
"Time's up! Congratulations to the eight contestants who have passed the test and successfully entered the second stage! Although it is a pity, please leave quickly. We have prepared friendly rewards. Please come to the backstage to receive them! Without further ado, the second stage will begin immediately. stage!"
Suddenly there were only eight left.
Roy looked around at the remaining people. Zhao Hufeng and Yireina were among them. Although he didn't know the others, they were probably among the top ranked ones in each academy.
"There are only ten Huang-style long-distance guidance weapons, and they have to fight against thirty-one people. The rule is to destroy one of them before passing the level. It can be predicted that the further you go, the easier it will be. In the end, it will be 23 people against two long-distance weapons." Armed, but in the end only eight people advanced. The power of this armed force is really terrifying!”
Roy silently calculated in his mind that if an ordinary Xingmai generation equipped with a long-range weapon would suddenly have the strength of a person in the ranking, or even a person at the top of the ranking!
However, it may not be easy to control this type of floating cannon weapon freely.
But this also proves that the technology of this world is in an upward spiral, rather than full of flaws, the older it becomes, the stronger it becomes.
"Her Royal Highness the Princess appears!"
While he was lost in thought, Arneste suddenly laughed jokingly.
Roy turned his head and followed his gaze to the second floor of the dome.
I saw a black-haired girl walking out of the viewing room and walking towards the stage with a cheerful smile on her face. That figure was really Fan Xinglu - could the second stage be related to her?
At the same time, another figure walked out of the room.
It was a woman in her mid-twenties, with a deep silhouette and quite beautiful appearance. She was like a piece of plain clothing wrapped around her body, highlighting her firm and well-toned body curves.
But in comparison, the most impressive thing about her is the ridiculously large necklace she wears on her chest.
It was by no means an ordinary necklace. It had a very mechanical feel as a whole. The huge black gemstone was inlaid in the center, as if it symbolized a one-eyed monster.
Roy looked at the necklace and inexplicably had the illusion of being stared at by a monster, as if the monster would jump out of the necklace and bite his head into pieces at the next moment.
The woman and Fan Xinglu walked out of the same room, with a look of machine-like indifference on their faces, and walked toward the exit of the dome.
Who is that woman?
Roy narrowed his eyes and walked out of the same room as Fan Xinglu. Could it be that he knew Fan Xinglu? Isn't it an old monster from the same era as her?
When Roy was wondering, an excited and trembling voice sounded from the side.
"Usla...!"
Sylvia's face was filled with surprise, and she jumped off the stage without thinking. Amidst the uproar, she chased after the woman.
Ursula?
Roy's heart stirred. He had heard Sylvia mention this name before. It seemed that he was the teacher who taught her singing and how to survive for generations in Xingmai?
Really a teacher?
But that woman doesn't look like a kind person...
Roy had an idea.
Below the stage, in the audience, Miss Okita stood up and chased after Sylvia in the direction she left.
"Little devils, I will be your opponent in the second stage!"
At this time, Fan Xinglu landed lightly in the center of the stage. She looked at the seven people on the stage, with a smile full of wildness and madness on her face, like a tiger hunting.
"There is no limit on means or time. The first one who can meet my mother will be the champion!"
This is true.
A very Fan Xinglu style move.
Roy sighed secretly and resigned to his fate, preparing to besiege Fan Xinglu with the others.
But at some point.
Just as he was about to start, his expression suddenly changed.
Then he jumped off the stage without hesitation, completely ignoring Fan Xinglu's face on the stage as black as the bottom of a pot, and rushed towards the passage where Sylvia and Miss Okita left as quickly as possible.
There was no one else in the corridor.
The woman with a huge dark necklace hanging on her chest stood in a hazy black mist, looking at the two girls on the other side with a mocking expression.
Miss Okita fell straight to the ground, her eyes closed, not even breathing, just like a dead person.
Sylvia knelt beside her, her face full of panic, confusion and dullness.
Roy cried out inwardly, rushed forward quickly, and slashed at the woman with the black necklace.
"Tsk, one after another."
The woman showed an impatient look, and the black mist on her body surged, covering the entire corridor.
When the black mist dissipated, the woman had disappeared.
Roy did not chase, but turned to Sylvia and Miss Okita.
"Are you okay?"
"..."
Sylvia seemed to come back to her senses only at this time.
She glanced at Miss Okita's body lying on the ground, then stood up silently, her eyes fell on Roy.
Her eyes were not warm at all, but her face was scary black.
After only a few minutes of separation, her attitude changed so much that Roy felt scared.
"...What's wrong with you?"
"Nothing happened to me."
Sylvia smiled at Roy.
A smile without any warmth.
"I just didn't know it before. Actually, if you think about it carefully, there are many strange things, but I just ignored them subconsciously..."
She pointed at Miss Okita's body lying on the ground, and smiled like a madman who wanted to kill people.
"Is this your puppet?"
