Chapter 8 The Two Prides of the Samurai
Compared with the magic department, there are more masters among the first-year samurai students. After all, in addition to talent, magic also requires guidance from good teachers. Compared with the fact that martial arts are more popular, the freshmen who come here are at least seventeen or eighteen years old, and they all have some foundations. Some of the young masters from the great nobles have been training since childhood, and they have battle positions themselves, and some have been on the battlefield before, and have rich practical experience. Therefore, compared with the magic department, the advantages of the seniors of the samurai department are not that different, and the competition is more intense!
The biggest burst point is Grace. This female warrior from the Chaos Forest has a height and strength that is not inferior to a man. Even when facing a strong senior, he is not showing any weakness. He suppresses his opponent's crazy attacks and finally wins successfully!
In addition to her, the strong Grumman and the agile Susanna, these famous strong men in the first grade also performed well. Although they lost to their seniors in the end, they all fought wonderful battles and achieved good results.
However, after a semester, the freshmen have a thumbs up in their hearts. Although these outstanding people have their own advantages, if they have to choose the strongest freshman, more people will still prefer the younger brother of the Dragon Slaying Lord, Alex!
In the eyes of the students, as a master, he did not occupy the recommended quota, but passed the entrance examination with his own strength, and is undoubtedly worthy of respect. What's more, when he came, he was already a third-level combat position, and he was stationed in the polar regions all year round, with rich practical experience, and his quality was naturally extraordinary. After this semester of study, Alex's performance was top-notch. Perhaps his strength was not as strong as Grumman and his flexibility was not as flexible as Susanna, but his qualities were the most balanced and had no shortcomings. In addition to the martial arts skills passed down by the Dragon Slaying Master, his strength was undoubtedly very terrifying!
Finally, the samurai instructor read out Alex's name and it was his turn to play.
Alex held the best-known double-handed sword and once he walked onto the court, he won cheers in the first grade. Although it was just a final exam, the seniors who had been losing to the seniors still made these freshmen breathe a sigh of relief. As the saying goes, there is no first in literature and no second in martial arts. Who doesn’t have a competitive spirit in any martial arts practice?
Grace breathed a sigh of relief for the girls. Now she still needs an Alex to win the face for the boys!
After all, he is a serious third-level combat position. Even the seniors in the third and fourth grades are rare. Moreover, the third-level is the rank before Alex came to the academy. After so long studying, he also experienced the undead riot in Xuanyang City. His strength is only high and not low, and he may have reached the fourth level, but he has not had the chance to do official verification.
Alex stood on the stage with confidence, and opposite him was a tall and handsome young man with blonde curly hair.
Zhao Qiankun finished the exam and came to the Warrior Department to watch the fun. He looked up and saw that he happened to know this yellow curly hair. It was Stanley who participated in the armed battle before!
However, Stanley has changed his previous look of being a little timid when facing Zhao Qiankun. He was standing in front of the wind with a long sword in his hand, his face full of proud heroes, and he looked like a very master!
"It's Senior Stanley!"
"It's over. If you meet him, Alex will be in danger..."
"Is he that powerful?"
"You don't know? He may be the strongest student in the academy except Joan of Arc. He has already obtained a fourth-level combat position. He also participated in the armed battle conference and entered the top 16 all the way!"
"I watched the game too. He finally lost to the mysterious powerful man Sha Wujing... It is said that he is a heroic strong man. Even though Senior Stanley is defeated, he is still honored!!"
"Is that amazing?"
…………
The onlookers were talking, and Zhao Qiankun was a little surprised when he heard it. He didn't expect that the boy who came to ask him to help cheat was so majestic in the academy!
Facing Stanley, Alex, as arrogant as he became cautious. As the mentor announced the start of the game, he held up his sword and observed his opponent motionlessly.
Stanley looked much more calm. He raised his big sword with one hand, relaxed his wrist, raised his two fingers, and said with a smile: "Are the descendants of the Dragon Slaying Lord? I have heard of you. It is said that he obtained the third-level battle position at the age of seventeen and has been guarding the seal of the ancient dragon in the extreme north. He is such an amazing young man!"
"I'm so amazing young man... I'm saying this as if I'm so big!" Zhao Qiankun secretly complained in the crowd. When the senior students from the warrior department heard it, they all gave unfriendly eyes.
Zhao Qiankun shut up tactfully. The two on the field had already started to attack. Alex took the lead and rushed forward, holding swords in both hands and stabbed straight out!
Stanley smiled slightly, shook his wrist, held the sword in one hand and opened Alex's attack, punching Alex in the face with a backhand.
Alex hurriedly avoided Stanley's fist, turned around in the air and swept across, slashing towards Stanley's neck. Stanley still held the sword in one hand and blocked the opponent's horizontal slash vertically. With a shock to his wrist, Alex pushed out!
"The power is a bit too big!" Zhao Qiankun sighed: "It would be a pity if you can win!"
As soon as these words were said, the first-year students around him also cast hostile gazes.
"You have rich experience, your ability to adapt and move timing are very good, but you have not trained enough..." Stanley commented with a master style: "If I had just entered the academy three years ago, I'm afraid I'm not your opponent!"
"Senior, I'm sorry!" After two tests, Alex also recognized the gap: "Next, I will show my skills!"
"Oh?" Stanley smiled and nodded: "It seems that it is not your full strength just now? Very good, let me experience it!" As he said that, he put his sword across his chest: "I didn't expect that our academy would have an excellent freshman like you, which is really awesome young man!"
"Oh, this business is joking... If you want to fight, just fight quickly!" Zhao Qiankun, who knows Stanley's nature, was already a little impatient. When the senior students on the other side heard this sentence, they all looked angry. Zhao Qiankun then realized that he seemed to be standing at the dividing point between the lower grades and the senior grades...
He showed a shameless smile to the group of glaring seniors, and Zhao Qiankun continued to look at the field indifferently.
At this time, Alex was ready. He took a few breaths rhythmically, bowed his legs, and suddenly burst out with an astonishing speed and rushed towards Stanley!
It is Sailan Binghai's unique breathing method! Stanley frowned. This technique is a bit similar to the internal strength of the East, but the effect is much smaller. It will not exert the power beyond its own limits. It will only adjust its physical fitness to its best state and perform more stably!
"It's completely different from before!" Stanley finally put down his conceit, held the sword in both hands, blocking Alex's attack. Then the two of them dodged and moved around the field, shaking figures, and handing over weapons, fighting very fiercely!
The extremely fast confrontation made the low-level students dizzy, but those with stronger strength could see that Alex was still at a disadvantage. Stanley vaguely suppressed him, but did not win immediately, which was giving him the opportunity to play. This was also the purpose of the final test.
Finally, after almost two minutes of battle, Stanley caught a flaw in Alex and tripped him to the ground. Alex wanted to get up and fight back, but his throat was already against Stanley's sword...
"I lost..." Alex admitted defeat. Although he was unwilling to accept it, he was still self-aware of his strength, and it was understandable to lose to the senior in the fourth-level combat position. Moreover, he was confident that he could reach or even surpass Stanley's current realm within a few years!
