In the previous six matches, Romani had used a long sword to fight and would sneak attack her opponents with willow leaf flying knives. No one knew that she could also use a long whip, so the audience were a little unsure whether her choice was right.
You have to know that in terms of lethality, the long sword is definitely greater than the long whip, but in terms of weapons, the long whip is just right for the spear. It all depends on the skills of the contestants.
But in the eyes of the audience, Candidate No. 1, who was only a third-level late-stage warrior, was weak in martial arts anyway. When facing the strongest opponent, she actually replaced her powerful long sword with a less lethal long whip. Because they knew little about her, the spectators present could not assess the outcome of this match.
"What's wrong with this kid? Why did she suddenly change her weapon?" Seeing that Ruo Manni changed her weapon to a long whip with less lethality when facing a strong enemy, Teacher Fang became a little anxious and only regretted that he could not talk to Ruo Manni now.
"Don't be impatient. Manny is not an impulsive person, otherwise she wouldn't have come this far. This opponent has advantages in both body shape and weapons. Manny has a chance of winning if she uses the long whip to overcome the opponent's weakness." Captain Lin, who happened to be free today and was watching the game as a guardian, said unmoved.
Captain Lin, a soldier with rich combat experience, knew how Ruomanni was suddenly thrown into the mecha combat assessment. After watching Ruomanni's performance in the map assessment match yesterday and a few more matches today, he roughly understood the main reason why Ruomanni could get to where she is today.
This child is calm enough. Even though she lacks experience, she will not feel timid or run away. Instead, she will calmly analyze and find the weaknesses of her opponent and strive for victory. This mentality is enough to make her half successful.
Moreover, the whip technique that Manni learned was found by Captain Lin himself. Captain Lin knew the extraordinary features of that whip technique like a mentor. The only thing he didn't know was what level Manni had reached in practicing this whip technique.
Captain Lin was right. As soon as the match started, Rumanni, holding a two-meter-long whip, completely changed the situation of being passive in the previous six matches and took the initiative to strike.
Although her opponent blocked the whip with a stick, the whip was soft and it was useless to block one section. The tail of the whip still swept across the opponent's body, and the opponent's health bar immediately decreased by 25 points.
The audience at the scene suddenly became excited as if they had been injected with chicken blood. As expected, the strength of candidate No. 1 was still reserved before, and now he gave them a surprise.
According to normal procedures, the weapons provided in the assessment competition are all blank weapons without any attachments. The power of a late-stage third-level warrior has little lethality to a mid-stage fourth-level warrior, and a light sweep from the whip tail will only cause the warrior to lose one or two points of blood at most.
To have such a huge damage value, it can only be said that Candidate No. 1 used telekinesis.
But the whip is a special weapon for warriors. How did this talented telekinetic girl do this?
However, the martial arts skills of boy No. 8 were two levels higher than Ruo Manni's after all. No matter how fast Ruo Manni was, she could not match the speed of that boy. Although she could avoid the vital points every time, she could not stop her health bar from dropping by dozens of points.
The audience watched as Ruo Manni activated her passive skill at the beginning, and her health bar dropped by dozens of points. Later, she counterattacked and made the boy unable to get close to her, and it was the boy's turn to have his health bar drop by dozens of points.
This turned out to be a evenly matched, exciting battle. If Manni didn't notice, Teacher Fang could deeply feel the enthusiasm of the audience.
But for Teacher Fang, this was an extremely tense competition. Her heart seemed to be held in the air by a hand, and was squeezed from time to time.
After all, the boy's overall fighting power was much stronger than that of the rookie Ruo Manni. At the end of the stipulated 20-minute match, the boy's blood loss points were 60 points less than Ruo Manni's. Naturally, the boy won.
This was the first qualifying match that Ruo Manni lost, but she had no time to regret or sigh. As soon as the game was over, Ruo Manni said goodbye to her opponent in a friendly manner and sat down immediately.
Although she lost this match, Ruo Manni played very well. However, the price she paid was that she was exhausted. There are still thirteen matches to come, so she naturally wants to recover as much as possible.
Although she lost a battle, Ruo Manni was more confident. In the following battles, Ruo Manni maintained this rule. She would use a long sword and willow leaf flying knife against any opponent who was in the early stage of the fourth level of warrior, and she would use a long whip against any opponent who was in the middle stage of the fourth level of warrior.
"Didn't Manny start practicing with the whip after she had dinner with us last time? How come she is so skilled in using it?" Teacher Fang was very surprised.
"Don't you see how smart Manny is? She has mastered the art of wrapping the whip with telekinesis to increase the whip's power and lethality. Even a mid-level fourth-level warrior cannot withstand the whip's lethality." Captain Lin's mouth curled up.
In the next thirteen qualifying matches, Ruo Manni never lost again. Even in the nineteenth match, when she met a mid-level fourth-level warrior ranked over four hundred and eighty, she still did not lose.
If Manni had met this opponent in the first few qualifying matches, she would have lost without a doubt. However, after more than a dozen battles, she had become very skilled in both long sword and long whip, and was no longer a rookie at the beginning.
In addition, although the opponent's weapon was a long sword, with a height of 1.2 meters versus 2 meters, Ruo Manni had the advantage in weapons. Therefore, the two fought to the end, and Ruo Manni won the opponent with a slight advantage.
"This child is a natural fighter." Seeing her growing at an astonishing rate in actual combat, Captain Lin couldn't help but sigh, "It's such a waste of talent for her to study mecha manufacturing."
"It's not wrong in some ways." Teacher Fang also breathed a sigh of relief, as Rumanni's choice was not wrong.
After the 19th game, although Ruo Manni won, she paid a heavy price. Her health bar was only left with more than 2 points, and her physical and mental strength were mostly consumed. If she met another powerful player, she might not be able to hold on to the end.
However, the god of luck favored Ruo Manni again. Her last qualifying contestant was a female candidate ranked 17,300th, and Ruo Manni eliminated her without much effort.
Because the qualifying rounds were not conducted at the same time, Ruo Manni was in the first batch of players, and after the competition ended, other batches were still in progress, so the final assessment results were not released.
Ruo Manni didn't bother to wait for the final result. After more than eight hours of competition without eating or drinking, she was not exhausted but almost starved to death.
After leaving Tianwang and having a meal, Ruo Manni went straight to sleep. She was unaware of another debate on Tianwang. Shortly after the assessment and competition were over, a post caught everyone's attention.
