Chapter 381 The Twelve-Hour Clock of Creation Shuttle

The competition of the first two days ended, and the competition entered the second stage of the promotion competition. At this time, there were about 600 contestants left. After that, the number of contestants in each battle was reduced from 12 to 6, and the top two would advance directly.

"The next competition will depend on you." Avni helped Tilan take care of her hair and collar, and this instruction.

After the first three rounds of competition, she stopped in the third round. After that, a fourth-year student from Edes Academy was eliminated. Now there are only four people left, one of whom is Wei Ke from the Three-phase Moon.

Although she failed to enter the later competition, Avni's mentality is now calm. After all, she is only a second-year student and there will be opportunities later. The students present, except Tilan, are all fourth-year students.

"Do your best~"

"I will."

Later in the evening dinner, the teacher encouraged the four people again, and then everyone dispersed.

On the third day, the competition of "Inverted Star Lake Sword Fighting" gradually entered a white-hot stage.

After the first three rounds of elimination, the remaining contestants were all elites from one star field, and the distribution of the personnel, as the team leader said before, included the Star Children who had lived in the space station for a long time, as well as the graceful mermaids and a small number of Broken Court elves.

It was beginning to become challenging, and on a new day, Tilan clearly felt that the opponent was not as easy to deal with as before.

"Now, let's focus on the sixth match of the fourth round of promotions. In this match, we have Miss Danterian, the 'Sword Lady of Books', who is loved by a large number of audiences for her quiet and erudite swordsmanship style. In addition, there is Miss Perola, the 'Flying Sword of Winged Feathers' from the Broken Courtyard. Her sword is like a blooming flower, colorful and dazzling. Then there is Lie Xing, the 'Heavy Magnetic Double Swordsman' from the land of Gris. His magnetic double swords are also difficult to deal with. He defeated many opponents along the way..."

The host introduced the six people who appeared in this match one by one. It can be said that each of them has his own title in the match, as well as a general introduction of his style, etc., so that the audience who can't remember the names of the contestants can be familiar with these contestants at a glance.

"Okay, without further ado, the competition officially begins!"

"Dong-dong-dong-"

A magnificent bell rang from the huge dial on the field, announcing the start of this competition. At this moment, the six contestants also entered the field from six equally divided scales.

Compared with the previous round, everyone was much more cautious in this round of competition. They did not start to act immediately, but stood in place, observing each other, weighing and looking for opportunities.

Six contestants will be eliminated until only two are left. The other four will lose the opportunity to enter the next stage. This is a competition, and it is no longer possible to fish in troubled waters like before.

Tilan also stood in place with a sword, not immediately acting, not because she felt it was difficult, but simply because she was not in a hurry and wanted to see how others were going to deal with it. If she really went all out, I am afraid that the other five contestants would all be eliminated within 1 minute after entering the venue.

The waiting soon ushered in the result. The first to act was the "heavy magnetic double swordsman" Lie Xing. He rushed to the nearest contestant on one side, and then the two long swords in his hands kept interlacing, and occasionally threw one. Under the guidance of the magnetic force, the thrown sword can change direction flexibly, and still maintain a strong force, and will not fly away at a knock.

"Woo--" The whistling sword blade flew past, leaving a blood mark, which startled the contestant who was fighting with Lie Xing.

In the subsequent fight, he was fully prepared for Lie Xing's powerful attack from the front, and also had to deal with another magnetic sword blade that kept moving back and forth behind him. In order to avoid being attacked from both sides, this contestant often shuttled through the complex components of the clock, making it impossible for Lie Xing to defeat him quickly.

The victory or defeat should be a matter of time. Tilan could see that Lie Xing, who used two swords, was obviously stronger than his opponent.

On the other side, Perola also used a sword technique like a blooming flower, making it difficult for the opponent to resist. If it were not for controlling the blade to not destroy the components on the dial, she would have won long ago. It seems that the terrain and the special rules of the competition still restrict this elf girl.

Finally, Tilan also encountered the challenge of the only remaining contestant.

"What a soft sword technique, boring and boring." The opponent was about 2.5 meters tall, and the broadsword he wielded seemed to be taller than Tilan, but it was particularly easy and casual in the opponent's hand, and it was like a white silk when wielding it.

It was simple and fast, but powerful enough. If it were an ordinary person, he would probably gradually reveal his flaws under the continuous and powerful attacks, and then be defeated.

"Dang--"

During another flip, the sword in Tilan's hand collided with the opponent's, making a crisp metallic sound. Then the opponent turned his wrist and the blade turned again, extremely fast.

"Dang--Dang--" Tilan blocked the sweep of the sword wind again and again, but because it was difficult to use the force in the weightless environment, such blocking also made the girl's light body gradually fly up.

After another clash, taking advantage of the gap when Tilan's feet left the clock and could not use the force, the opponent changed his moves and rushed forward, blocking Tilan's foothold at a faster speed, preparing to force Tilan to stay in the air and break the defense.

"Hah!" He turned his wrist holding the sword, and then swung it down with all his strength, slashing at Tilan diagonally. When he thought that this move would hit, the girl in front of him suddenly disappeared, and then he felt a chill on his back, and a sharp sword blade came out through his chest, and then quickly pulled it out.

"Damn it..." He covered his chest, holding back the severe pain, and turned back with difficulty, looking at the girl floating in the air.

"How despicable, she has been hiding her strength all this time." Failure was definitely not his fault. It could only be said that the girl was too cunning. She didn't even use her favorite moves at the beginning, making him happy for nothing.

For the first time, Tilan felt a little embarrassed after defeating her opponent. Wasn't the big guy in front of her a little too simple and honest? She never liked people who played tricks. When facing some simple people, she couldn't help but feel a little sympathetic. After all, she used to be such a person.

"Sorry, sorry, I'll be faster next time and won't make you so uncomfortable." The girl's toes landed on the clock again, and then she turned the sword to block the chopped blade again, but this time the result was different from the past. The sword light in her hand directly cut off the opponent's blade.

The big contestant who lost his weapon and was seriously injured and unable to move was ruled out by the referee. Before leaving, he shouted "I will be back." The girl couldn't help but smile, thinking that there seemed to be no mechanism for the loser to revive in this game.

When the girl turned her head back, the sword fights on the other two sides were over. Perola and Lie Xing eliminated their opponents respectively.

Now there are three people left. Logically, only one more person needs to be eliminated to end the game. There will be a lot of games and choices between the three people. However, after seeing Tilan's strength, Lie Xing and Perola simply exchanged glances and decided to join forces to deal with the black-haired girl not far away.

Alas, they reached an agreement so quickly. The girl blinked and felt a little surprised, but soon reacted and chopped the magnetic sword blade that broke through the air beside her with a sword.

If we take the familiar opponents as reference, Lie Xing's strength is about 70% of Sweetway's. He is not as good as the genius of Thunder Edge, but he will lose after a while. As for Perola, although her swordsmanship is like blooming flowers, it is a bit flashy. When facing top players, too complicated swordsmanship will be a burden, and there are many flashy parts.

It is probably about the same level as Stacia. In fact, Perola's talent should be obviously higher than Stacia's, but it seems that she has not fully exerted it, as if she has gone astray.

Analyzing the strength, style and shortcomings of the two people in her mind, Tilan easily parried the joint attack of the two, but it seems that as long as her sword is faster or the attack is sharper, she can break her block and parry.

"Break it for me!"

After retrieving the two blades, Lie Xing held the two hilts in his hands. The infused magic power made the whole sword body tremble, and then complex and precise branding patterns emerged. The two blades resonated with each other, and there was a kind of mutual attraction and repulsion.

After that, the two swords were thrown out with all their might, flying through two intersecting red and blue curves in the air, and directly hitting the girl's face.

If such a move was blocked by an ordinary person, it would probably be too much to cope with, and the other sword would hit her. Moreover, the speed of the two swords was extremely fast, and there was no time to change the method... The girl's mind quickly flashed with thoughts, and then the sword in her hand flashed with lightning, and a dazzling purple electric current suddenly appeared,

slashing directly at the two swords in front of her. The lightning burst, and the magic power and the attached force field on the sword blade were violently torn apart. The other sword also lost its vitality and was knocked away

by Tilan on the spot, falling into the weightless air and never returning. As for Perola, who took advantage of the gap between the heavy magnetic double swords' attack, Tilan jumped and crossed before the opponent had time to retreat. Three purple electric sword marks slashed Perola, making the opponent lose the ability to move and fainted and fell to the ground.

Seeing the black-haired girl slowly walking towards him with a sword, Lie Xing looked at his empty hands and resolutely decided to surrender.

Since I can't win, I'd better not continue to embarrass myself.

"The sixth match of the third round is over. Congratulations to Miss Danterian for advancing to the next round with the first place. This match is really eye-opening. Our Miss Danterian finally used her unique swordsmanship, which seems to be a lightning-like sword move that is completely inconsistent with her previous temperament. This seems to mean that we have to change the title of Miss Danterian. Why not call her 'Purple Lightning Sword Princess' Danterian from now on."

The host's passionate commentary is undoubtedly also a part of the competition program. As for the title, it is often the explosive point of the topic. The opinions of the contestants themselves are not so important. Tilan just shook her head helplessly. She can't reveal her identity for such a small matter. Even if she wants to reveal her identity, she will talk about it after the competition. Otherwise, if she reveals it now, the competition will not be peaceful in the next few days. There will probably be many headlines, such as 'The new singer Heshia actually participated in the 'Inverted Star Lake Sword Fighting' competition' and 'Is she a singer or a sword princess, the shining Heshia'.

After this round of competition, the fifth round of promotion competition also moved forward soon. It seems that the final 64 contestants will be decided today.

Among the students traveling with Tilan, two finally entered the 64th place, one of whom was Wei Ke and the other was Zhuogoxi.

Zhuogoxi was not famous in the Edes Academy. He always hovered around 60-80 in the grade. His strength was not bad, but not too outstanding. He wore a black robe, black shoulder-length hair, a slightly high nose bridge, and gray-blue eyes. He was a rare student in the withering sequence.

In the competition, Zhuogoxi was like a black owl, with the sword light covered by the cloak and black feather wind, making it difficult for the opponent to be defeated. Rather than being a swordsman, he was more like some kind of assassin. When he moved, he was silent.

During the trip with the same team, Zhuogoxi never said much, but occasionally asked Tilan some questions, but he was also very measured. He would not ask too many questions each time, and the questions were explained very clearly. Tilan only needed to point out one point and explain it.

He is the kind of person who is very clear about his own goals, focused, cautious, decisive and fierce. Tilan commented on this classmate. He seems to be much more mature than the people around him, and he must have a different experience.

The first four days of the competition are over, and there is a three-day break in the middle. During this period, the 64 selected contestants will be awarded the commemorative sword of this Inverted Star Lake Competition. The quality of the blade is rare gold grade, which is mixed with red marrow crystal. It is very good to break the magic barrier and is a good extraordinary weapon.

The 64 people wore the blue and white cloaks and coats uniformly distributed by the official event, and then held the blade with the sword tassel of the Inverted Star Lake logo, stood together for a group photo, and then the media took a lot of photos to promote it, increasing the heat and attention for the subsequent finals.

Time soon came to 3 days later, and the 64 selected contestants entered the conference site. Countless screams and cheers rang out. At this time, the giant mechanical clock as the stage was completely different from before.

The hour and minute hands above, which are about 100 meters long, slowly rotate, and the sharp pointer passes on the dial. The dial below is roughly a semicircle, with half of it exposing the complex tooth components, and the other half also has hollow round holes of varying sizes, through which you can see the components inside, or directly pass through the holes to enter the back of the clock.

In space, there is also an inclined elliptical track intersecting with the dial. On the track, there are flying copper carriages, copper swans, copper puppet princesses, copper battlefields, copper elephants, etc. These copper-colored creations are all extremely delicate and lifelike, with a kind of retro exquisiteness and luxury.

These objects fly on the track that intersects with the dial, occasionally passing through the holes on the dial, and then turning back from the other side, constantly rotating in a cycle, forming a gorgeous scene. It is said that these exquisite creations are taken from a mechanical clock that was tributed to the king in the Third Age, and each creation represents an hour.

For example, the "Car Driving Time" at 8 am, the "Princess Tea" at 10 am, the "Elephant Raising Trunk" at 12 pm, the "Scorching Sun Passing" at 2 pm, the "Swan Time" at 4 pm, etc.

In the competition, these creations are naturally indestructible, but they are also extremely delicate and fragile. How to use these creations to fight will be an interesting part of the competition and also the highlight of the Inverted Star Lake Sword Fight.

After showing the venue, the host read out the rules again, and finally, amid the expectations and cheers of the audience, the finals began.
