Chapter 15: The First Reveal of His Fierce Face
As the head of the local church, Bishop Norman is not usually impulsive.
When you encounter some troubles or people you don't like, you can treat them calmly.
However, this mentality is often breached today.
But this can't actually be blamed on him being unstable.
Mainly, Andy's performance became more and more exaggerated.
The duel in the third level will be between two people, and they will not fight at the same time, but take turns.
The skinny-looking boy played in the third group. His opponent was a reserve judge who, in Bishop Norman's opinion, had great potential.
This profession does not specialize in combat, but combat can be said to be one of the judge's areas of expertise.
However, at the beginning of the duel, the two had just finished greeting each other, and before anyone could see clearly, the young judge was killed by Andy in seconds! The distance between the two sides was actually quite long, but Andy couldn't resist and threw the dagger in his hand as a dart - any normal person would understand that this action was nonsense.
But the dagger stabbed into the opponent's eye socket with incredible precision!
Inside the Starry Temple, the audience who thought they were going to see a close combat were stunned, and then burst into cheers!
This is not just because, after passing the previous level, they treated Andy as one of their own.
More importantly, Andy's decisive and efficient way of killing the enemy is very entertaining! It is much more interesting than the rigid duel of others.
But this was not what annoyed the Norman bishop.
In his opinion, this method was somewhat unexpected and luck played a big role.
If the opponent had been more focused and agile, it would have been less likely for him to be killed instantly like this.
It was the second match that broke the bishop's defense.
In the second match, Andy's opponent was arranged to be a friend of the rising star Anthony.
He was a young man who, in the eyes of the old bishop, was very cunning and clever.
The duel event he chose was also very targeted - knightly jousting.
To put it simply, it is two knights wearing full body plate armor, holding lances, riding their horses and charging towards each other on the track.
Whoever can dodge the attack and knock the opponent off his horse will win.
The rules seem simple, but they are actually very challenging.
It not only requires sufficient tacit understanding between the rider and the horse, but also requires a certain degree of familiarity with armor and lance.
In the eyes of normal people, especially Bishop Norman, Andy could not continue to commit crimes.
Although in the illusion, Andy's height has been stretched to the same level as his opponent, and his body is also very healthy.
But would a modern man, a boy from an ordinary family, learn knightly jousting, a popular entertainment activity in the Middle Ages? He might not even know how to wear armor!
However, the reality is completely different...
Before the duel begins, the two knights will have some free time to get familiar with their armor and their unfamiliar horses.
Andy was very skilled in this process.
Brushing the horses, feeding them, cleaning their hooves and manure, all done smoothly and naturally.
At the same time, during this process, he was obviously consciously trying to understand this horse——
This is very important, as riding skills depend not only on the rider’s experience, but also on the level of understanding between the rider and the horse.
If a horse can't understand the rider's body language and vague instructions, then you're simply asking for death if you want to ride it into a duel with someone.
Andy is clearly doing well.
When it came to the point of saddle and biting the horse, the specially arranged stallion, which was supposed to be very fierce, not only did not resist him, but also rubbed his head against him affectionately...
"He's imitating."
Someone familiar with horsemanship commented on this, expressing amazement, “Imitating the behavior and body language of the horse’s previous owner.”
"Previous master? Where is he?"
"Of course not at the scene."
“How can you imitate it if you’re not there?”
“As long as his horse is there, he can imitate.”
"Um, could you explain that? I don't understand what you're saying."
"I can't explain it. This line of work requires a sense of horse sense. Even if I tell you, you won't understand..."
Obviously most people couldn't understand it, including the Norman Bishop.
But it doesn’t matter if you don’t understand what you hear, as long as you can understand what you see.
Then he saw that when the two men officially started the duel, Andy rode his horse and charged handsomely, holding his lance firmly under his armpit! And what about the opponent who was Anthony's good friend?
His horse was frightened and was neighing and struggling in place. No matter how the rider shouted at it, it refused to cooperate.
He didn't even move a few steps! The ending is predictable...
If this duel gave Bishop Norman a headache, then the next duel would make him completely restless.
One side of the duel is Andy, and the other side is the country's brightest new star, Anthony!
After the first two matches, everyone no longer thought that the skinny boy was not good at fighting.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
But in the eyes of normal people, no matter how strong Andy's combat potential is, it is impossible to compare with Anthony, a genius reserve knight who has undergone professional training since childhood! After all, Anthony's title of rising star is not blown up by others, but earned step by step!
No matter how amazing Andy's talent is, he can never surpass him in combat.
Apart from anything else, age is there.
However……
The ending was completely opposite to what was expected.
Anthony didn't even last as long as his friend on horseback facing Andy's charge! Both of them mainly wore light armor and fought in close combat.
But with just a simple sideways move, the blond boy who was holding a two-handed sword and stepping forward to chop, had already fallen to his knees with his head lowered! "Island Country Sword Drawing Technique?"
The speed was so fast that the "mirage" in the clouds was not so clear.
Most people were so confused that they only saw the two opponents, one of them sheathed his sword and the other fell to the ground helplessly.
But this did not prevent them from bursting into warm cheers after being stunned for a few seconds!
Whether it was by surprise or overwhelming strength, it was an indisputable fact that the once strongest rising star had been defeated! The old stars fell, and the new ones rose, emitting a brighter light.
Much brighter! "I can't imagine how bright his future will be."
Everyone applauded and had a heated discussion about it.
"Riding, swordsmanship, spearmanship, painting, memory, willpower... Is there anything else he hasn't shown?"
"I heard he can fly a plane? I think he should have no problem flying a fighter jet."
"What's the point of a fighter plane?"
"With his riding skills, after becoming an extraordinary person, he can definitely consider training a dragon to ride."
"Yeah, if it were me, I would definitely give it a try."
"If he succeeds in taming it, the fighter jets from neighboring countries won't be enough for him to destroy..."
Because they have already treated Andy as one of their own, the audience made no secret of their admiration and expectations for him.
The kindness shown made the other contestants look envious and even in awe!
Inside the Starry Temple.
There seemed to be only two people who had different ideas about this.
One is naturally a Norman bishop.
At this moment, his limbs were stiff, and he sat on the second floor in a daze, as if petrified. When he looked at Andy below, his eyes became very dim.
The other person was the old gentleman who looked like a professor sitting opposite the bishop.
Before this, he seemed to admire Andy very much, and his words were full of praise.
But now, in those eyes that should have been kind and gentle, there was only hostility!
