Chapter 434 Lucky Numbers! (Monthly Tickets Plus)
The final battle for the ranking is no longer a challenge match, but a draw by lots to decide the opponents among the ten people. This is to allow the king on the city wall to see the true strength of each young man.
Gervis was standing at the back of the group of young people. After everyone else had drawn their papers, Gervis had no choice.
So he took out the last remaining note and opened it.
He took a look at his own paper and saw that he had drawn number five, and his opponent also had drawn number five.
"Your name is Harry, right? What number did you draw?"
Just as Gervis finished reading the note, a young man next to him couldn't wait to ask him something. It was obvious that this man thought he was a soft persimmon.
Because Gervis's equipment was completely loser-like among everyone, and his realm was only that of a mid-level bronze knight.
Although these young nobles all knew that Gervis must have outstanding strength to be able to make it into the top ten.
But no matter how strong a mid-level bronze knight can be, how strong can he be? Compared with other opponents who are well-armored and titled as top knights, Gervis is obviously their best choice.
"Number five!"
Gervis didn't hide it either, because he would have to show the note in public the next moment anyway.
“What a pity!”
The young man was a little disappointed. Being able to fight against a weaker opponent, although he could not show up in front of His Majesty, it allowed him to preserve his strength and save his fighting spirit to better deal with future opponents. However, this plan has now failed.
"Haha! I'm also number five, and his opponent is me! What a lucky number! Praise the God of Glory!"
Several young nobles heard what Gervis said, and one of them immediately burst into laughter.
"hehe!"
Gervis could not deny it, and did not say anything else. He just tapped the square shield in front of him with his fingers.
"This square shield is really good. Should I ask Bernard to forge a mithril shield for me in the future? It doesn't matter whether it can defend or not. The main thing is that it is so fun to use it to hit people. Every hit is accurate!"
…
"What's the name of the young man in leather armor? Which family is he from?"
Sitting on the throne on the city wall, King Hayden watched the scene with great interest, especially the unique leather armor of Gervis.
In his opinion, since Gervis could stand out from thousands of people with such an outfit, he must be a young man with some strength.
And in a few days, before the war with the Principality of Zeon, he will desperately need capable young men to help him win the first victory in order to boost the morale of his subordinates.
"Your Majesty, that young man is called Harry Potter! He is the eldest son of a vassal of the Golden Wheat family!"
"The offspring of Ashar's vassal? That's rare. I heard that most of the vassals of the Jinmai family were trapped in Maiye City and finally captured by the Principality of Zeon!"
"Well, very good. For a son of an earl's vassal to have such strength, it means he must have worked hard! Let's see his strength later. If he performs well, we can reuse him in the future."
After hearing about Gervis's background, King Hayden looked at him differently and was very satisfied.
…
Gervis didn't know that his fake Harry had already been noticed by King Hayden, who was planning to use him.
At this time, Gervis and others were watching other contestants start their competition under the ring.
The first to compete were the two young men who had drawn number one, both of whom were bronze-peak knights.
However, Gervis was not interested in this and did not pay much attention.
Gervis no longer cares about the Bronze Knight's strength.
Although he is now a high-level bronze knight, he has no problem dealing with a low-level silver knight.
More importantly, through the practice of the past few days, Gervis discovered an unexpected surprise.
That is, ever since he took the black kiwi fruit that increased his strength by 50 times, he found that his practice had improved rapidly during these days of practice.
Originally, if he wanted to break through to the peak bronze knight, it would take at least half a year to a year.
But now he has a vague feeling that as long as he practices hard, he will definitely be able to make a breakthrough within a month, which makes Gervis extremely excited.
At the same time, Gervis was also wondering whether this was related to his realization of the strength of the Golden Knight realm.
Although after the effect of the black kiwi fruit wore off, his body returned to the level of a high-level bronze knight.
But Gervis, who traveled through time, knew that the human body was amazing, and that body cells and muscles also had memories. Although this memory was very vague, it was the only reasonable explanation for why his cultivation had changed only after he took the black kiwi fruit.
Gervis is now very much looking forward to seeing what effect taking the second black kiwi fruit will have, and whether it will speed up his cultivation progress even more.
However, this black kiwi fruit was his life-saving trump card and he could not waste it unless it was absolutely necessary. That was why Gervis endured it and ate the black kiwi fruit immediately to test his guess.
…
While Gervis's thoughts were wandering, the first group of competition on the stage ended quickly. At this final moment, these people no longer concealed their strength and burst out with all their strength.
Even though the swords were not sharpened, one could still see the dents and marks from the cuts on their armor.
More than ten minutes later, the competitions of the first four groups were over, and it was finally the turn of Gervis and his opponent to go on stage.
"Harry Potter! Please advise!"
"Kiddy Barrick! Thank you, Harry! I picked you!"
Kiddie laughed at Gervis. He was really drooling over Caroline on the city wall.
Although he had seen countless women, it was rare to see a woman with such a beautiful face and a perfect figure as Caroline.
Now that he had seen it, Kiddy became very concerned about the first place. He hoped that he could always meet the weakest opponent to increase his chances of getting the first place. He was willing to do so even if he could not show his strength to the king.
He was the second son of an earl, and even if he did not marry the king, he was destined to live a carefree life.
"You're welcome, this is what I should do!"
Gervis also looked at him with a smile.
After that, the two of them said no more. Kiddy drew out his sword, held it in the air, and slowly walked towards Gervis.
Gervis still had a smile on his face, and he drew the long sword from his waist, holding a shield in one hand and a sword in the other, and walked towards Kiddy.
"Advanced Chop!"
Both sides started the attack at the same time, two meters apart.
Kiddy took the lead in activating his fighting spirit, shouted loudly, and directly performed his secret technique.
Although the power of his advanced chopping attack can only burst out double the force, it has one advantage, which is that it consumes very little fighting spirit!
With his current level of cultivation, even if he performed ten advanced strikes, it would be more than enough for him to make mistakes.
After the secret technique was activated, Kiddy exerted force with his legs and jumped directly into the air, slashing towards Gervis' face with his sword with tremendous power.
Gervis seemed to be about to launch an attack, but seeing Kiddy's lightning-fast attack, he had no choice but to switch from offense to defense. He retracted his sword, used the huge square shield to block Kiddy's attack, and at the same time tried to dodge to the side.
"Haha, ignorant! You lose, boy!"
Seeing Harry's action, Kiddy smiled. He knew that Gervis had the big shield, so this slash was just to lure the opponent into his trap.
He has two more combos waiting for the opponent.
At the moment after the chop fell, he could take advantage of the opponent's unstable body to chop backwards. He didn't even need to turn his body, and he could definitely chop the enemy's legs.
Kiddy has been practicing this set of serial dueling skills for four or five years, and he can say that he has mastered it to the point of being as clear as fire.
Boom!
Unfortunately, the person Kiddy met was Gervis. Gervis was indeed dodging, but his speed was many times faster than Kiddy's.
Before Kiddy's advanced slash landed, Gervis had successfully dodged to the side, and the more than one-meter-long giant shield in his hand turned into a remnant and began to dance.
There was only a thud.
Before Kiddy's body even hit the ground, he was knocked away by the giant shield and changed direction.
"How is this possible!?"
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Gervis had already sheathed his sword, and now he walked to the fallen Kiddy with the big shield in both hands, raised the big shield high, and then smashed it down suddenly.
One, two, three, ...
This huge shield in Gervis's hand was like a drum, rhythmically hitting Kiddy's full body armor, making a dull sound of "dong dong dong".
The reason why Gervis stopped pretending now was because the one sitting on the city wall was Hayden, the golden peak knight.
No matter how good Gervis's acting skills were, he believed that his actions could never be hidden from the eyes of the Golden Peak Knight.
So he decided not to act anymore to avoid attracting unnecessary suspicion.
What he has shown now is just a little faster speed, but no outstanding performance in other aspects.
…
Both the young nobles in the square and the people on the city wall were stunned by the changes on the arena.
"This young man in leather armor is so cruel."
"Haha, this is Cruel Harry! I told you this morning that he was brutal, and you just said he was vulnerable! How about now, am I right? He is stronger than those people on the stage!"
This was a young nobleman who had watched Gervis deal with Kanchel in the morning. He was showing off proudly to the young nobles around him who had not believed what he said just now.
Near the platform, the noble who had just asked for Gervis's number first was wiping his sweat. He was very glad that he did not draw number five.
Otherwise, you will be the one lying on the ground and being beaten like a bug!
Gervis's speed was too fast. He was sure that he could not dodge Gervis's attack just now!
I still owe 8 chapters! Woohoo~ The more I pay, the more I owe. . .
