Chapter 315: Gorgeous Cutting Double Swords
"Now, the contestant from Thunder Edge Academy, Sweetway, is on stage!"
In the lobby of the Ring Bird Wind Tower, a large projection screen was showing a fierce battle scene. This was the Thunder Edge Academy's 'Galloping Dragon Lancers' versus the 'Caged Fairies' Club of Saint Ingo Academy.
The Winter Festival Competition was not far away, and this was also the last competition between the top six academies. The venue was chosen to be a brightly lit racing track.
"Which side do you think will win, Heshia?" Mel was sitting at the table holding a kitten. There was a heater under the table, emitting heat.
"I don't know. I don't know much about either side." Heshia was also sitting at the table. There was a small nest made of down on the table in front of her. There were five little birds that had just grown down. They were sleeping in the down at the moment, and the indigo snake was coiled in the nest, protecting the five little guys who had not yet opened their eyes.
In addition to the two people, there are many such original thick wooden tables in the hall. Many students did not sleep tonight and gathered here to watch the game. Some people put snacks, unfinished midnight snacks, and animal companions resting beside them on the table, looking happy.
The Huanniao Wind Tower has a heat circulation system, so it is not very cold in winter, but some students like to be more comfortable and will carry a small heater with them. It is said that this will create a better atmosphere.
The screen in front explained the scene before the game. Some people were listening carefully, some took time to read books, and some people leaned on the fluffy animals half asleep and half awake.
Because of the time zone difference, it was just after nightfall in the South District 1 where the game was being played, but it was already close to eleven o'clock in the evening in the North District 1.
Everyone talked in a low voice until the referee announced the start on the screen projection, and everyone calmed down a little.
"Begin!"
The Thunderbolt students, wearing armor, rushed to the position of the Saint Ingo students in groups of three, leaving a faint burnt mark on the ground, while the students on the Saint Ingo side took off in pairs, and then jointly displayed the golden blade.
Such a golden blade is like a gorgeous golden scissors divided into two halves, each holding one, and the blade is like a sharp pointer, with gold and silver alternating.
When two people cooperate, this pair of double swords can exert extremely sharp and high-speed power, with great lethality, even facing some mechas, it can easily break the shell.
This gorgeous and dangerous skill comes from the famous "Tailoring Double Sword Academy" of the Federation, which is a well-known university located in the Twin Tree Star Region. Its founder is a human sage at the end of the Third Era. He has a deep connection with the elves, so the enrollment has always been half human and half elf.
In the past, only students of the school could learn this kind of skills. However, because the "Tailoring Dual Sword Academy" has good relations with various elves, some schools with close relations with it have also obtained some preliminary inheritance. The Saint Ingo School is located in the central star field and has also obtained authorization to teach this skill to its own students.
Sure enough, shortly after the battle, although the Thunder Front Academy was a group of three, they had almost no resistance when facing the double sword cutting surrounded by two people. The weapons in their hands were easily cut off, the defense was broken, and wounds of varying sizes appeared.
In just one minute, one-third of the students of the Thunder Front Academy were eliminated, and the remaining students were also in danger.
"Lightning call!"
Faced with such a disadvantageous situation, the leading young man roared, and then a thick golden lightning struck the center of the venue, leaving a charred mark on the ground, and some areas also produced white powder.
Standing in the center of the venue, the black-haired young man was now surrounded by lightning, his pupils were like incandescent plasma, and the short hair on his head was all snow-white, like a full fluorescent filament.
Under this attack, many of the Saint Ingo students who were originally besieging him were knocked unconscious by lightning, and their bodies were charred. Although the remaining students still retained consciousness, they had also exhausted most of their magic power due to resisting the lightning and were unable to fight again.
Holding a thick incandescent electric spark, the student with the "Thunder Eyes and Electric Eyes" looked around, swung the incandescent electric light in his hand, turned it into a handy spear, and then swung it easily, knocking two Saint Ingo students who were approaching unconscious.
However, his opponents were not just these two people, there were more Saint Ingo students.
After defeating most of the members of the Thunder Front Academy, the remaining Saint Ingo students united, they formed pairs, hugged each other, and then opened their wings like fireflies from behind, and then flew into the sky.
During the flight, they constantly adapted to the frequency and rhythm of each other's extraordinary cores. When they finally reached a state of extremely high synchronization, they could summon a pair of golden swords together, each holding one in their hands.
The hilts of the swords were connected, and the circular imprints engraved on the hilts overlapped. The magic flowed, and the two blades almost became one. Then the two separated again, drawing a beautiful interlaced arc in the air, and swooped down on the thunder-like young man on the ground.
The golden sword and silver blade were connected in the air as if by a magnetic field, pulling each other, allowing the two to change their flight trajectories in the air, making it more difficult to lock. Although Sweetway also threw lightning bolts many times, the hit rate was obviously not as good as before, and many were avoided by the flexible flight trajectory.
Another staggered, the sharp edge of the sword with a silver edge broke through the body wrapped in lightning, bringing out light blue blood. The blood with a faint electric light fell from the air and fell on the ground. The blue color slowly faded and gradually returned to the normal black and red color.
The attack had not yet ended. Less than half a second after the first sword blade passed, another sword blade came from the side and rushed straight to Sweetway's neck, but was dodged.
However, the gold and silver sword blade still cut a hole in Sweetway's back, adding another wound.
After several exchanges, there were still about 7 students from the Saint Ingo's "Caged Fairy" club flying in the air, and Sweetway was the only student left from the Thunderbolt Academy on the ground.
Although Sweetway was very strong, the "Caged Fairy" club on the opposite side was also one of the top three clubs in Saint Ingo Academy. There were many outstanding talents. Many students who seemed to be defeated by Sweetway in one move might be the top of the grade in other schools, but it was not obvious in Saint Ingo.
The remaining seven people were the top members of the academy. Each of them was a member of the Sequence 5 perfect condensed bead level. Their strength and skills were rare and powerful. They were familiar with each other and cooperated perfectly.
"Sweetway is in trouble now. Thunder Edge Academy lacks flexible and useful flying secrets, which makes it disadvantageous in air combat. Now it is under siege, which makes it even more passive." A student in the hall commented quietly.
"Is flying so difficult?" Mel asked curiously. She felt that there were people and animals who could fly everywhere in Iris Court.
"Flying is not difficult. The difficult part is to maintain speed and flexibility in battle." Heshia explained to Mel with experience.
"Although many birds can fly, they rely on air currents to fly, which means that they need a buffer when changing direction or adjusting their posture. In other words, they can't be too hasty, unlike fighting on the ground where they can use the ground to flexibly move and change direction."
"Air combat is very similar to the ancient knight duels, where they go back and forth and then turn back." Just as Heshia was speaking, the gray moon cat in Mel's arms jumped out, came to Heshia, rubbed her palm, and asked the girl to scratch her chin.
"The students of Thunder Edge now occasionally practice horse riding at school. After graduation, they will join the army, probably driving fighter planes or mechas. There are many similarities."
"Actually, it is wrong to say that Thunder Edge Academy is not good at air combat. They are just not good at air combat without mechas or fighter planes."
"Speaking of which, Saint Ingo Academy inherited a large number of secret arts and classics from the elven royal family, and the elves had a close relationship with the goblins in the early years. Among them, the group that retains the most goblin secrets is the elven royal family."
"Compared with humans, the body structure of goblins is very different. When they were created, they were called 'wingbeaters', which refers to their extremely strong flying ability and extremely high reaction speed."
"The reaction speed of vertebrate nerve conduction is about 100m/s because of the myelin sheath, but goblins can reach 500m/s by nature."
"Why do fairies in ancient myths and fairy tales always appear and disappear suddenly? It's not because they can teleport, but because their speed is too fast, making most animals unable to react in time, resulting in visual differences."
"Many insects appear agile only because they are small. In fact, the nerve reaction speed of insects is only about 1m/s. When they grow up, they become extremely slow. For example, when a 2-meter-long insect steps on something, it may take 1-2 seconds for it to sense it. By the time it reacts and controls its limbs to change position, 3-4 seconds have passed."
"When extraordinary life forms advance to Sequence 4, they will use the extraordinary core to build a new consciousness perception system to assist nerve reactions. This can greatly increase their reaction speed. Some insects or non-vertebrate creatures can also overcome their innate defects."
"Today is Sequence 4, but in ancient times and the past it was Sequence 5. Therefore, it was often said in the past that reaching Sequence 5 would give extraordinary people a qualitative improvement in strength."
"The innate conditions of fairies are superior to those of vertebrates such as humans. After the extraordinary sequence is upgraded, their reaction speed can be further improved. In addition, their light body makes them move extremely quickly, even terrifyingly. With such instant killing power, many witches of the Mercury Dynasty were killed instantly before they had time to react." Heshia read the knowledge she had learned not long ago.
"Although today's Saint Ingo has only learned a little bit compared to the ancient mythological fairies, it is already a great advantage compared to most extraordinary people." Heshia touched the head of the gray moon cat, and then the little guy turned around and jumped to the side of the indigo snake, as if he also wanted to rub against the little nest of down and enjoy the warmth with the little light cotton birds.
"It turns out that there is such a long history in it." Mel looked at Heshia with admiration.
While the two were talking about flying and fighting, the battle on the projected screen continued.
Facing the Saint Ingo students who kept wandering and swooping down to attack, Sweetway had to concentrate. His body, which was wrapped in lightning, had greatly improved its reaction ability after being strengthened by the Sequence 5 job. Only in this way could he barely hold on during the siege, avoid key parts, and occasionally launch a counterattack.
"Many people said before that Sweetway was the favorite to win the Winter Festival Competition, but today, it seems that he is not that strong?" A student began to question.
"That's because you are sitting here and watching easily. If you were to go on stage, you probably wouldn't be able to take a single move and be cut down by Saint Ingo's students." The senior student on the side commented with a smile.
"So strong, Saint Ingo's students?" The second-year students were still a little skeptical, but at this moment, the picture suddenly changed.
Perhaps realizing that it would be more disadvantageous for him to drag it on, Sweetway began to change his response method. He moved quickly on the ground, and then special brand textures appeared on his body, as fast as lightning, getting faster and faster.
In this way, even if Saint Ingo's students wanted to attack suddenly, they would not be able to locate and grasp the angle well.
After getting a chance to catch his breath by moving at high speed, Sweetway turned his body, and then a silver spear appeared in his hand, which he held tightly. Then he suddenly jumped up, and after avoiding the two intersecting swords, he rushed straight to a Saint Ingo student who was unable to dodge in the sky.
Facing the slash of the sharp golden sword, the silver spear in Sweetway's hand pierced through in an instant, exchanging injuries for injuries to pierce the opponent, and then the spear was pulled out, and violent lightning flashed in an instant, and the Saint Ingo student fell down, seriously injured and unconscious.
After dealing with an opponent, Sweetway's pressure was slightly reduced, and the wound on his body healed slowly with a white light, leaving an inconspicuous scar.
In the following combat effectiveness, Sweetway did the same thing, using high-speed movement to constantly avoid attacks, and then finding the right time to defeat the opponent with the fastest and fiercest attack.
After several times, there were only three members left on the Saint Ingo side, and Sweetway was also panting, with both magic and physical strength facing exhaustion.
The three people hovering in the air also slowed down at this moment, saving their little magic power, and looked at the opponent from afar.
Although they were in a better situation than Sweetway, they were not in their peak condition. If they attacked in close combat, they might defeat Sweetway in an instant, or they might be defeated by Sweetway in close combat.
Thinking of the other four companions who had just left the stage, the remaining three decided to use long-range attack methods for the sake of caution.
The golden double swords in their hands dissipated, and three longbows constructed of branches gradually emerged. Then, a series of rings emerged between the longbows and the strings, and in the rings, a ray of light arrows slowly took shape.
With a bang, three light arrows shot out suddenly, one of which was blocked by Sweetway, and the remaining two, one pierced his shoulder, and the other pierced his stomach and sank into it.
In pain, Sweetway stood unsteadily and almost half-knelt down, while the three people in the sky nodded to each other and continued to attack with arrows.
More than ten seconds later, Sweetway had seven or eight arrows stuck in his body, and the three people in the sky slowly hovered due to excessive consumption of magic power.
"Don't you admit defeat, Sweetway? You are such a determined person." Someone in front said this, and many people in the hall held their breath to watch the final scene of this confrontation.
Just when Sweetway's body was shaking and everyone thought he would fall at any time, the young man accelerated and ran again. The light arrows stuck in his body still did not disappear, and they flashed with his running.
"How is this possible?" The three people in the sky looked stunned, and when they were about to rush to their faces, the three people still couldn't believe it.
Unfortunately, there is no if in reality. When the remaining three people's magic power was almost exhausted, it was impossible to form a gorgeous cutting double sword like when they appeared on the stage. Two of them didn't have time to fly away and were swept and hit by the electric light gun wielded by Sweetway, and then fell unconscious on the battlefield.
After dodging the attack, the remaining member of the "Caged Fairy" quickly rose up and barely condensed a sharp sword blade with gold and silver. Unfortunately, there was no one to cooperate with him at this time, and a single cutting sword could not perform many skills and effects in the secret art. The swinging sword blade
collided with the silver spear again. In the sparks, Sweetway turned the gun body, and while pushing away the sword blade, the tip of the gun pierced the opponent's exposed flaw and directly sank into the opponent's body.
The scene became quiet. The opponent holding the golden sword blade froze, his eyes were full of loss, and he slowly fell down, his hand still covering the abdomen pierced by the tip of the gun, and on the other side, Sweetway finally couldn't hold on and fell to the ground.
Faced with a rare scene where both sides lost their fighting power, the referee on the scene discussed for more than ten minutes, and finally determined that the two sides were tied. This was also the first time in the past six years that there was a tie in the inter-school competition.
After the end, various news media reported the battle that night, and the evaluation of Sweetway was also a storm.
Some say that he is so powerful that he can defeat an entire opposing club by himself, and that he will definitely be the champion of this Winter Festival competition.
Some people said that he was so exhausted when facing the "Fairy in the Cage" club, how could he guarantee to win the highest honor in the Winter Festival Competition where all the heroes gathered.
Others looked for various materials about Sweetway, telling about his life, his experience growing up on the Mineral Star when he was a child, and the nickname "Descendant of Thunder God" that was now recognized on the Internet.
For a while, various discussions on the Four-Leaf Crystal Star Domain network increased. Some people believed that Sweetway would be the champion of this Winter Festival Competition, some people thought that Seraphiel was the strongest of this year, some people believed that Xia Kui from the Swarm of Bees would show new strength in the Winter Festival Competition, and some people believed that there were still hidden powerful people in Saint Ingo who had not appeared, etc.
In this discussion, the voices about Edes Academy and Crystal Grid Academy were the smallest, almost less than one-tenth of the previous ones, probably because the "Death Rose Club" was defeated at a great disadvantage not long ago, which made many people subconsciously think that Edes Academy was far inferior to Lelitha Academy, etc. Only when the singer is mentioned will someone interject.
"A true master must be brave enough to make judgments. I believe that the champion of this winter festival competition will definitely be between Seraphiel and Sweetway!"
As this statement spread and influenced, various red and blue comparison pictures began to appear on the Internet. Seraphiel, who was shrouded in golden red flames, and Sweetway, who was wrapped in blue lightning, became the most discussed topic this month.
