The Knight's Journey to the Empire

On the ring next to them, the two contestants were both relatively thin.

Their strengths are not much different, and their strengths lie in speed and agility.

Moreover, the two chose the same weapons, which were lightweight rapiers and a small shield in the left hand.

Precisely because the two men's strength and skills are similar, their sword-fighting clashes are more frequent, more dangerous, and more exciting.

Compared with Billy's heavy sword charge, although there is a big difference in power, it is more skillful and entertaining.

This also caused cheers and encouragement from the audience stands.

The training direction of knights can be divided into three types according to their emphasis: agility, balance, and strength.

Needless to say, the agility type focuses on improving speed and combat skills, the strength type focuses on training strength and ability to withstand blows, and the balanced type focuses on all-round development.

As to which of the three is good and which is bad, the cultivation community in the Knight Continent has different opinions, but there is no unified statement.

But a statement recently put forward by an expert in the knight training community has been quite popular among many knight practitioners.

The saying is: It depends on the person and depends on talent.

But in Soran's view, this is just like farting: Isn't this the same as those theories in previous lives that discussed whether human nature is good or evil?

I also said that this is determined by acquired growth!

During my growth, if I ate enough and ate a lot, I would grow strong, which is suitable for the power type; if I did not eat enough and had nothing to eat, I would grow thin, which is suitable for the speed type; and if I ate just the right amount, I would be suitable for the balance type.

fart! ! !

Isn't this just like those so-called "experts" and "religious beasts" in previous lives, who just talk about nonsense and are completely useless.

It would be better to train yourself well and improve your strength.

The competition in the two rings is still going on. Both competitions are very intense, with a sense of life-and-death duel.

But obviously, compared with the "cat and mouse" game of chase and escape on Sauron's side, the close combat and sword skills competition on the other side seems to be more likely to attract the audience's attention.

Soran did not pay attention to the battle on the nearby arena, nor did he pay attention to the audience around him. He devoted his whole body and soul to his own battle.

Being distracted during battle is not Soran's habit.

In this battle, it seemed that Soran was being chased around by Billy and was unable to fight back.

But the reality is that Sauron was indeed being chased around by Billy, but he was not without the ability to fight back.

This was actually all Sauron's strategy, a strategy to play to his strengths and avoid his weaknesses.

That’s right, Sauron is actually fighting a war of attrition.

Billy is big and strong.

This is his advantage, but also his disadvantage.

Because this will make him consume more physical energy when moving and attacking.

What's more, the weapon he chose was a heavy one-handed greatsword.

Although it suits me, it does consume more energy when wielding it.

On the other hand, although Soran has been dodging and fleeing, he is always maintaining his energy, accumulating strength, and deliberately reducing his physical consumption.

Moreover, Soran was absolutely confident in his physical fitness: at the peak of their professional level as trainee knights, if they were to compare their physical fitness, there would be no more than a handful of students in the entire Donbass Knight Academy who could surpass him.

Billy is certainly not included in this count.

Knight training is not about who has the biggest body or the best physical fitness.

At the same time, Soran was also hanging Billy.

Billy's speed could never catch up with Soran, but Soran deliberately kept a relatively reasonable distance from him.

Always make Billy feel that he can attack him with a little effort, so that he will not give up attacking and switch to defense.

In fact, ever since Soran started to implement this roaming strategy, Billy has never caught up with Soran. The occasional clashes between them were the result of Soran deliberately letting him go.

As a result of this, Sauron's tactics have achieved certain results.

This can be seen from Billy's action of gasping and dropping his half-shield, giving up his defensive weapon.

Billy is now actually a little angry after the fight.

This Sauron jumped up and down like a monkey and refused to fight him head-on.

You can't beat him, you can't catch up with him, and even if you try to provoke him with your heroic spirit of chivalry, he will ignore you.

And every attack was just a little bit off, which made Billy very annoyed.

But in fact, if it was a smarter opponent, Sauron's plan would be easily discovered.

But obviously, Billy's character was too straightforward and he couldn't come to his senses.

In other words, classmate Sauron is a bit immoral and he is bullying honest people.

"No more fighting, classmate Soran. You are too shameless. You only know how to run away. You don't have any heroic chivalry. It makes me feel ashamed to fight with someone like you. I am ashamed to be your classmate." Billy yelled loudly, angrily threw down his one-handed sword, and walked straight down the arena without looking back.

But because the cheers of the audience were too loud and the two were quite far apart at the moment, Soran did not hear Billy's voice.

So he could only watch in confusion as Billy walked off the stage by himself.

He vaguely saw Billy's mouth moving, as if he was cursing.

No, what's going on? Billy gave up the fight? I won now???

At this moment, the winner of the competition on the nearby arena was decided.

So the audience turned their attention back to Soran's arena.

Then they only saw Soran looking around on the stage with a confused look on his face!

audience:? ? ? ? ? ?

What happened? Is this the winner?

The audience was also confused!

The referee next to him also looked confused.

Because he has presided over the graduation competition held by the Donbass Knight Academy for many years, but this kind of situation has never happened before.

And he didn't hear Billy's voice clearly.

But the referee was a man who had experienced a lot, so he reacted quickly and directly ruled that Soran won the arena competition and advanced to the top eight.

Because if a contestant walks off the stage on his own, it means he has given up his qualification for the competition.

So the game ended in this weird atmosphere.

Soren successfully advanced to the quarterfinals.

…………

"Hey, boss, how did you beat Billy? I didn't realize you are so powerful that you can fight Billy on equal terms!" Seeing Sauron walking down the ring, Carlos MacLennan was the first to come forward and ask.

The other two also had puzzled looks on their faces.

Soran spread his hands and made a helpless expression: "Actually, I don't know what happened. I was dodging his attacks. When I got some distance, I saw him throw away his sword and walk off the stage."

Soran didn't hear what Billy said, so he was helpless and he also wanted to figure out what was going on.

"Everyone knows that Billy is an honest and upright man, but I think he seems very angry. Did you use some tricks, or secretly scold him, the kind of scolding that you would give to a relative?" Christian poked Soran with his elbow and asked teasingly with a sob.

Soran raised his eyebrows and said in a slightly heavy tone: "Get lost. I will use such rubbish. With my strength, believe it or not, I can still defeat him in a while."

The three of them immediately cast suspicious glances.

Although Soren ranked among the top in the first phase of the graduation assessment test, they always thought that Soren relied on his academic performance to get there.

So they were all skeptical about Sauron's strength.

Even though the three of them had joined forces, they were still no match for Sauron.

But that match was two years ago, and they haven't played against each other for a long time.

"Hey, hey, hey, what are you looking at? Do you think I'm the same as you? All I do every day is eat, drink and have fun, and my brain is full of breasts!" Sauron became even angrier now.

"Hahaha, it's okay. It's a good thing that we can advance to the quarterfinals. Come on, brothers, let's go to the cafeteria and have a good meal at noon today to celebrate. I'll treat you!" Adam appeared at the right time, put his arms around the shoulders of the three and pulled them into the cafeteria together.

So, everyone stopped worrying about how to win and just thought about what to eat.

Adam comes from a merchant family, and his family treats him well, so he can be said to be the richest among these people.

He's treating us to a meal, this is definitely a way of taking advantage of the rich, who would care about winning or losing?

It’s a waste not to eat…
