Chapter 380 The Hidden Pale Sword
"The first day of the competition has ended, and the results seem to be pretty good."
At the evening dinner, the teacher counted today's results. Including Heshia, there were a total of 9 students participating in the competition, and 6 of them advanced. Considering that the promotion requires the top third of the ranking, this is enough to show that the strength of Edes students is far above average.
"After all, we are not a school in space, and some contestants have an advantage." The teacher comforted the students who failed to enter the next round.
Although they came to participate in the competition, not everyone was determined to win a prize. Some just wanted to experience it and travel to gain knowledge.
Because the opening speech and performance were required on the first day, and the number of participants was the largest, only the first round of elimination was carried out. Then on the second day, the speed of the competition was much faster.
After the first round of elimination, the remaining contestants were at least not bad in strength, and many of them really expected to win the prize. Obviously
, the battle on the second day was much more intense than yesterday, and the contestants no longer treated the clock components and the interlaced gears under their feet as decorations, but used them effectively.
Some used the complex terrain inside the hollow clock to turn back and forth, so that the opponent would not dare to use too much force, in order to prevent the sword blade from touching the clock parts and scraping off the copper layer and deducting points. In order to avoid
the rat, the sword speed slowed down, and the audience could see more clearly. The battle was also full of wits and courage, which made people call it exciting. In the sixth game of the second round, Tilan appeared again. This time she did not meet Li Qingfei, whose sword was like misty rain, but met a contestant who also practiced the Withering Sequence with her.
The girl opposite seemed to look a little smaller than herself. She was wearing a Gothic black skirt, holding a cross sword decorated with skulls and roses in her hand, with bandages wrapped around her snow-white wrists, and her eyes were bloodshot and cold, as if she had a faint disgust for the whole world.
When she realized that Tilan was in the Withering Sequence like herself, the white-haired girl stopped on the opposite side and simply raised her skirt to salute.
"Good evening, black-haired big sister." Rarely, the seemingly cold girl smiled.
"Good evening." Tilan also returned the greeting. In response, the girl rolled her eyes and pressed her chin lightly with her fingers.
"Big sister is very polite. Sally is a little reluctant to do it, but Sally will make big sister suffer less."
After saying this, the girl grasped the hilt of the sword, stepped out in an instant, and then disappeared.
"Dang--"
The crisp sword blade blocked behind her. When Tilan turned around, the white-haired girl turned her toes on the ground and disappeared again. Then the cross blade stabbed out from behind Tilan and pierced her chest. A
small wound appeared in an instant, and then the white-haired girl put away the sword and stepped back.
A trace of blood seeped out, making Tilan feel a little cold in her chest, but this kind of injury was not a big problem for her. It healed quietly in a few breaths. It was the girl in front of her who surprised her deeply.
She probably knew the principle of the other party's mysterious secret method, which was to make her body virtual and then use the subspace to shuttle for a short time. Let's not talk about the difficulty of this secret method. Take virtualization as an example. Even if ordinary withered sequence extraordinary people have this ability, they only use it to dodge and will not use it for a long time. The human body is not a ghost. Compared with the ghost's natural ability to virtualize, this conversion consumes a lot of magic power and puts a heavy burden on the body. If used too much, it will leave many hidden injuries.
Even among the 36 Eastern sects in the third era, only the Ningzi Zhaoye Palace has inherited the relevant swordsmanship, which is to swing the sword with the help of virtualization in an instant, and then display it, which makes people unable to defend against it, and at the same time it is extremely harmful to the spirit body.
Given the other party's age and the ability of Sequence 5, it is almost impossible to perform this swordsmanship without hurting oneself, unless... Tilan turned her eyes to the bandage wrapped around the girl's wrist, and her eyes closed and opened slightly. Sure
enough, there are still many side effects. This girl's body seems to have been specially improved, more suitable for the Void Mystic Art, and the consumption will be much less, but relatively speaking, it will also be much weaker than other Sequence Five's physical fitness.
Seeing Tilan standing there, with no intention of leaving, even breathing evenly, and her magic power stable, far from being injured, the girl's expression changed.
"Big sister is very unusual, then Sally can't do anything."
She was seen crouching slightly, then turning her feet, and disappeared again in front of Tilan.
Here it comes, from the left, Tilan's eyes condensed, and then the sword body struck, chopping the invisible attacking sword blade, and then the opponent disappeared again, this time not immediately appearing, but as if leaving without a sound.
In response, Tilan waited patiently, and sure enough, in a breathing gap 20 seconds later, the opponent attacked again, this time from behind, and very suddenly, the moment the tip of the sword appeared, it was only ten centimeters away from the hair on Tilan's back.
Then the sword pierced through her body, but this time the attack did not encounter any resistance, and Tilan also became ethereal. After that, the two of them kept fighting in the space inside the dial, and the sword light appeared and disappeared in an instant. Not only Sallye would become ethereal in an instant, but Tilan would also. Moreover, during the fight between the two, Sallye's face became paler and paler. Her fighting style could not last long.
Facing Tilan, who could easily take all her moves, the white-haired girl became more and more frightened, and the battle became more and more dangerous and urgent. She tried to defeat her opponent with her most powerful sword moves.
She clenched the cross sword wrapped in roses, and her figure became transparent again. Then she briefly penetrated into the high-dimensional space, passed through the complex environment, and then emerged in an instant. The sword in her hand became vague at the moment of swinging, and then three sword lights swung out like a crescent moon and slashed behind Tilan.
This time, Tilan did not dodge, but took the attack directly. She also swung the long sword in her hand. The silver blade followed her body and bloomed in the air. The virtual blade instantly pierced through the opponent's blade. Three thin crescent sword arcs were also cut, and light red blood splashed. Then the cross sword decorated with skulls and roses flew up, hit the copper dial, and then bounced off and fell into the weightless sky.
A few seconds later, Sally stood there with her wrist covered. Her wrist, which was originally bandaged, was stained with blood again, and the snow-white shoulders and neck also oozed blood.
"Well, Sally lost." She lowered her head, her eyes seemed to lose their luster, absent-minded and lost.
Listening to the words, and the gray and dead emotions in her heart, Tilan always felt that there were many stories about the girl in front of her, but she was still in the game and had no time to ask in detail, so she just nodded slightly.
A few minutes later, the game ended, Tilan ranked first, and Sallyye barely advanced to the next round in fourth place. Although she lost to Tilan, she did not fall out of the top four because of the points she had won against her opponent before.
