Chapter 6: Legendary Battle, the True Use of Skill Points
The royal city of "Lo Lent".
Located in the deepest part of the entire royal capital, it is a royal city built on a hill. From afar, you can see the city walls connected by more than twenty giant circular towers.
The separation of the people of the capital from the royal city, coupled with the height of the hill, makes the entire royal city have a status that is superior to everyone else.
To the west of the hill where the royal city was built, there is a huge arena, and the annual "Imperial Trial" also begins in this arena.
Such a competition is not only a grand event, but also a way for the Kingdom of Li Yestije to demonstrate its military strength to outsiders.
Crash! Crash! Along with the noisy crowd.
Tang Zheng came into the arena with some reluctance and sat down in the outermost seat.
He looked towards the huge arena in the center of the arena. From where he was, he could only see the silhouettes of people on the arena.
For such a position, he spent 5 silver coins!
“It’s really a profitable business.”
Tang Zheng glanced at the densely packed seats around him and sighed inwardly.
As a witness to historical events, it can indeed satisfy some curiosity.
But! If he had known the price was so high, he would not have come. After all, he already knew the result.
Tang Zheng thought helplessly.
The Warrior Captain and the Nail Clipper have not shown up yet, but there are several figures on the stage below, who seem to be doing inspection work.
Located directly north of the arena is the only round tower-like stand in the entire arena that is significantly higher than other locations.
No need to guess.
That should be a viewing stand specially provided for the kingdom's nobles and royal family.
Compared to the almost bustling atmosphere in other areas, the location of the round tower stand is a little too quiet.
This situation gradually affected other areas, just like pouring a bucket of cold water on this hot atmosphere.
Even the voices of discussion around gradually became much quieter.
Tang Zheng reached out and tugged at the collar of his linen clothes, shrugged his shoulders with some boredom, and watched the scene calmly.
Others may not know the reason for this slightly weird atmosphere, but he knows something.
Competitions of this level are ostensibly intended to find powerful warriors for the country and to promote the country's strength.
But actually!
From the very beginning, the "Imperial Trial" has been a stage for the nobles to show off their subordinates and demonstrate their own military prowess.
All the civilian participants are just stepping stones for these nobles.
This involves the kingdom's own aristocratic system! Except for the eldest son, the second sons of the nobles cannot inherit the title. This leads to another title in the aristocratic system, "Knight"! This title has no fiefdom and is limited to the aristocratic class of one generation, but it is still the goal that the second sons of the nobles are scrambling to obtain.
This is not only for the noble status, but also because once you obtain the title of "Knight", the royal family will pay you a high salary and you basically don't need to worry about life.
certainly.
This is also the strategy of the royal family, to let the descendants of these nobles form a new generation of "supporters of the king"! The "Imperial Trial" exists for this reason, which is considered an aboveboard strategy. Therefore, the outstanding noble children who stand out in the competition will be awarded the title of "Knight".
However, starting from a few years ago, the participating noble members or their subordinates were gradually defeated by some civilian adventurers, which caused dissatisfaction among the nobles.
And now! Gazef and Brain appeared, and came here directly with a sweeping posture.
The "Imperial Trial" became a stage for two commoners to fight! "Heh."
A smile appeared on Tang Zheng's face. He could now fully imagine that the nobles' faces would definitely not be happy at this moment.
After Gazef's victory, he should have been awarded the title of "Knight", but the result was a new position of "Warrior Captain". This was the background against which it emerged.
The reason why this duel was known as the "Legendary Battle" among the common people was because the "Imperial Trial" was cancelled after this competition.
Obviously no noble wanted a second warrior-captain to appear.
but.
This has nothing to do with Tang Zheng. Compared with the big tomb of the future, these things are just minor matters after all.
No matter how dissatisfied the nobles were, this competition could neither be stopped nor terminated! About 10 minutes passed.
Tang Zheng's expression straightened and his eyes became serious as he looked at the future warrior captain and the nail clipper who were walking towards the ring at the same time.
After the two men stepped onto the ring, they shook hands with each other and seemed to say something.
only.
From the audience seat where Tang Zheng was currently sitting, he could only see the two people's figures clearly, and naturally could not hear the conversation between them.
soon!
The two separated again, turned around and kept some distance between them, then stood face to face.
Right now!
The noisy sounds in the entire audience disappeared, and everyone looked closely at the two people on the ring, for fear of disturbing the duel between the two.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Whoosh! Whoosh! Almost the next moment.
Gazef and Brain moved at the same time. Although there was a distance of about twenty meters between them, they collided with each other after just a short charge.
Dang! Dang! Dang! The two sword-shaped weapons collided instantly, emitting intense sparks.
“So fast.”
Tang Zheng's eyes were filled with astonishment, and he could only barely catch the figures of the two people. Especially the swords wielded by the two people, which he could not see clearly at all.
All you could see were sparks appearing continuously around the two of them.
Tang Zheng tilted his neck back.
They are simply not the same species as ordinary people! The strength displayed when the two sides collide is something you can't feel at all when watching anime.
After seeing this level of battle, Tang Zheng truly realized the unbridgeable gap between ordinary people and these strong men! This is only around level 20?
Inexplicably, Tang Zheng suddenly felt the same despair that the nail clipper had felt when facing Shalltear.
The title of "nail clippers" is not a derogatory term! Whoosh——
On the ring, Brian's body suddenly flashed a light blue light.
The next moment, Brian appeared behind Gazef as if he had teleported.
but!
Gazef seemed to have anticipated this and rolled over to create some distance between them.
"Is this a martial art?" Tang Zheng's eyes widened.
"Martial arts" is a technique that does not exist in the game "YGGDRASIL" and is unique to the other world. It can be understood as a warrior's magic.
When using it, it consumes something called "concentration", which is simply the focus of the mind. The more martial arts are used, the more brain fatigue will occur.
It is a value that does not exist in the game, but it is closer to reality.
Whether in anime or in the paperback version of the novel, the power embodied by "martial arts" is actually not weak.
It’s just that due to the level limit of humans, the martial arts don’t seem that powerful.
Sudden--
Buzz! The attribute panel appeared in front of Tang Zheng.
"The skill "Water Acceleration" is discovered, which requires a basic warrior profession. The current conditions are not met..."
"The "Genius" profession has been activated. The transformation has been successful. The learning conditions are met. Do you want to consume 1 skill point to learn it? "
Tang Zheng saw the information on the attribute panel, his eyes revealed a look of surprise and enlightenment, and he muttered to himself: "So this is how skill points are used!"
