Nine-layer armor-breaking

Chapter 147: Admit defeat!

Just like the way he attacked Warrior No. 44 for the first time, the moves were exactly the same as the first time he actively attacked Warrior No. 44, going straight for the unprotected area on his neck.

After turning his body, he missed the first attack and attacked Warrior No. 44 again.

As he wished, this time, he did cut a long, thin wound on the neck of Warrior No. 44, but the depth of the wound was very shallow.

Obviously, he didn't want to harm Warrior No. 44's life, but something unexpected still happened...

Although Zhu Yu did as he expected, even though it was not smooth sailing, he was able to quickly cut a shallow wound on Warrior No. 44 with his soft sword.

Due to the elasticity of the soft sword itself, Zhu Yu exerted a little force with his fingers, and in the blink of an eye, the soft sword immediately bounced back to Zhu Yu's neck, close to the wound, and refused to move an inch.

But in fact, when Zhu Yu's soft sword cut a wound on the warrior No. 44, Zhu Yu was also injured, and the injury was not small.

Because Zhu Yu's steps were weak and his body was deviated from the direction, Warrior No. 44 reacted instantly. He swung his short knife with all his strength at the target, and in an instant, it hit Zhu Yu's left shoulder, which was not holding the sword.

When he couldn't find an opportunity, Warrior No. 44 just wanted to wait until the competition ended naturally due to time.

But now, he had an opportunity that came to him when his opponent made a mistake. How could he not seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity?
In fact, he wanted to swing the blade hard at Zhu Yu to relieve the hatred in his heart.

There was no way. Due to the rules of the Five States Martial Arts Show, he could not use such a killing move on Zhu Yu.

So he chose to slam the blade heavily on Zhu Yu's body, giving him a violent and powerful blow.

The moment the knife fell, Zhu Yu felt unbearable pain. Perhaps it was because of his tenacity or some other persistence, but after being forced back half a step by Warrior No. 44, he still managed to stand there, with the soft sword in his right hand pointing directly at Warrior No. 44.

Logically speaking, with Zhu Yu's weak physique, he should have been knocked away by the full force of Warrior No. 44. However, when that force actually acted on Zhu Yu, he did not even fall down. Instead, his feet could not withstand the gravity and he moved half a step.

This is really hard to believe.

Could it be that Warrior No. 44 has injured his legs and feet and is unable to use his strength?
But no matter how you think about it, it doesn't make sense.

Although Warrior No. 44 is shorter in stature, his sturdy figure looks like he can easily knock ordinary people away.

If it weren't for the two warriors on the field looking like they couldn't stand each other, and both of them were so weak that they could hardly compete in the second round, one would have thought that they had agreed in advance to cheat.

Finally, after a burst of pain on Zhu Yu's face, which was even paler than before, he suddenly let out a relieved smile from the bottom of his heart.

Zhu Yu muttered to himself, "I did it... I don't know if this counts as... what you call... progress... I really hope you can see this moment."

He was so weak that he couldn't even speak coherently, but his voice was quite loud.

Zhu Yu tried hard to raise his voice, which made him look both hardworking and weak. Because the voice was so loud, even some audience members in the audience could hear Zhu Yu's voice.

At this moment, Jiang Xuan, who was standing not far away and had been paying attention to Zhu Yu's battle, had a frown under his hood.

Although according to the situation on the field, Zhu Yu will win this competition and become the winner of this competition, Jiang Xuan should be happy for him, but at this moment he feels very uncomfortable.

"You did it." Jiang Xuan nodded and said to himself.

"Next time we meet, I'll see your progress." These words kept ringing in Zhu Yu's ears.

In Zhu Yu's mind, this cycle also continued for a long time without stopping.

The person who said these words to him in front of the Qizhou City Lord's Mansion that day was the role model he had to follow closely in the future.

... "Give up!" Warrior No. 44 whispered to the referee.

By now, Warrior No. 44 was feeling helpless in the competition.

Relying on his advanced Earth-level strength, he was stopped in the first round of the Earth-level group. How could this not be regrettable?
Zhu Yu, who was holding on with his weak body, heard the ironic voice of surrender coming from Warrior No. 44. Zhu Yu's right hand, which was holding the soft sword against Warrior No. 44's neck, drooped down weakly due to the movement of his entire arm.

Then, with a crisp sound, Zhu Yuzhong fell to the ground.

"Earth Rank Group, First Round, Fourth Match, Warrior No. 44 versus Warrior No. 161, Warrior No. 161 wins!"

Zhu Yu's opponent, Warrior No. 44, was stopped at the first round of the Earth Level competition due to the rule that the Five States Martial Arts Competition did not allow losing any competition.

According to the rules of the Five States Martial Arts Competition, all warriors are not allowed to lose the competition since the first round.

After the first round of competition within the group is over, the warriors who lose the competition will be eliminated directly.

In other words, only the warriors who win the competition or those who tie can enter the second round of competition within the group.

From the first round until the winner of the group is decided, there is only one chance to tie with the opponent in all the competitions.

Besides this, all matches can only be won, not lost. For each participating warrior, there can be no second draw.

Before the Five States Martial Arts Competition entered its final round, each warrior had only two possible outcomes.

One is a complete victory; the other is a complete victory except for one draw.

Until the start of the final round, only those with the above two results can enter the final round and compete.

Otherwise, the points will not meet the requirements to enter the next round and will face elimination.

Entering the final round, all warriors who have not been eliminated will re-draw lots within their group and their points will be reset to zero.

The competition continues until the top three places are determined from the winners.

……

As the Zhu Yu competition came to a temporary end, Jiang Xuan put his attention back on his own Tianjie group.

Unconsciously, the intense competition made people forget the time.

The sky had completely darkened, but everywhere on Micui Peak was still as bright as day.

At this moment, Jiang Xuan had been waiting outside for too long and was obviously feeling a little tired.

The reason why he did not rest for a moment was nothing else but that he wanted to understand the strength of all the warriors in his Tianjie group, so that he could find different ways to deal with these warriors, and it would be easier to understand the general strength of each warrior he might face next.

As the saying goes, only by knowing yourself and your enemy can you win every battle. This is exactly what Jiang Xuan thought.

……

"Number one, low level of heavenly rank."

"Number one hundred and seventy-five, high-level heavenly rank."

After hearing the two words from the female warrior, the crowd near the Tianjie Group immediately became excited again!
