At this starry sky feast hosted by the Silvan elves, Bilbo and the elf girl undoubtedly became the focus of the audience.

Except for Gao Yuan and Legolas, no one knew how embarrassed the two people were in the center of the dance floor.

After the dance ended, the embarrassed two people immediately broke up and left. Unlike other pairs of elves, they chose to find a place to hang out after the dance.

Bilbo must have regretted very much at this time, why he agreed to the elf girl's invitation to dance.

As for the elf girl, I'm afraid she's not much better, as can be seen from her face when she left.

This dance will probably shadow her for the rest of her life, and her friends will tease her about it for at least the next three to five hundred years.

"Bilbo, you dance very well." Gao Yuan praised.

This is not Gao Yuan laughing at him, he does dance very well. Although this dance combination of one tall and one short looks embarrassing, the two do work together quite well.

Legolas also stood up, making room for our hobbit, and asked him how he felt about dancing with the elf girl just now.

The enthusiasm between the two made Bilbo's embarrassment dissipate a lot, and he began to talk freely about the anecdotes about dancing with hobbit girls in Hobbiton in the Shire.

After the dance, the clearing in the forest soon became quiet, which meant that the feast was about to enter the next stage. The reluctant elf lovers were divided into two groups according to men and women and dispersed, and the center of the forest was cleared.

"Are there any special arrangements next?" Gao Yuan, who had never participated in the Starlight Feast, asked Legolas beside him.

I saw the elf prince raising his neck and looking expectantly at the center of the clearing.

He told Gao Yuan excitedly: "This is the Starlight Trial, a tradition of the Starlight Feast that started when the people of the stars (Elda, referring to all elves) awakened on the shore of Lake Cuvienne, and continues to this day."

"In the past, the people of Eldar would use this trial to find the strongest person in the clan, who was also the past Elf King, and to find a successor."

Legolas suddenly looked at Gao Yuan.

"Mr. Gao Yuan, do you want to go up and give it a try?"

Gao Yuan was stunned by Legolas' sudden suggestion.

"This is not good, I am not a citizen of the stars."

Legolas said it was okay.

"That's all in the past. Today's Starlight Trial does not prohibit people of other races from participating."

Even so, Gao Yuan still rejected Legolas' proposal. He was not the protagonist in Qidian's novel. In the traditional ceremony of his race, he challenged the strong man of his elves. Isn't this a naked provocation?

If you lose, you will lose face; if you win, you will slap others in the face.

He would not do this kind of thankless job of inciting hatred.

"Since Mr. Gao Yuan, you are not willing to participate in Starlight's trial, then think of this as a competition between you and me. You don't have to accept the challenge from others. It's just the two of us. Click to

That’s it.”

At this point, Legolas revealed his true intention. It turned out that he proposed Gao Yuan to participate in the Starlight Trial. He did not really want Gao Yuan to go up and challenge the strong elves of the Woodland Kingdom, but wanted to compete with himself.

Discuss.

"I want to see your true strength, Mr. Gao Yuan. I have never had the opportunity to compete with people outside the forest. I want to see how my own strength is."

Gao Yuan was a little helpless, he looked at Legolas' expectant eyes.

This elf prince has an attitude of never giving up until he agrees.

"That's it." Gao Yuan solemnly declared.

Legolas nodded excitedly, which meant that Gao Yuan had agreed to his request for discussion.

"It's just a sword fight, you can't use magic!" Legolas suddenly thought of something. He forgot that Gao Yuan could use that weird magic.

"Of course, otherwise it would be too unfair to you." Gao Yuan didn't even think about using his telekinesis to bully Legolas, so he agreed.

"I'll wait for you there!" Legolas took his sword and walked to the clearing in the forest.

He stepped forward and seemed to explain something to the member of the Elf Guard who was conducting the trial.

The elf soldier nodded, then put away his weapon and left the clearing.

Seeing Legolas participating in the Starlight Trial, everyone at the banquet cheered. They raised their wine glasses and shouted Legolas's name.

Gao Yuan stood up and handed Bilbo the Blade of the Evening Star in his hand. This weapon was not suitable for point-and-click sparring. A careless move could lead to serious consequences.

Seeing Gao Yuan walking forward with bare hands, Legolas was very confused.

"Mr. Gao Yuan, this is a swordsmanship competition. Where is your weapon?" Legolas asked in a deep voice.

Facing Legolas' question, Gao Yuan did not answer, but looked at the elf soldier who had just left, and saw that the elf sword on his waist began to tremble, as if it would break out of the sheath at any time.

Gao Yuan stretched out his right hand.

"Qiang..."

The sword flew into Gao Yuan's hand. After getting the sword, he played a set of sword tricks and became familiar with the weight and feel of this elf sword.

It feels a bit too heavy in the hand, and is different from the weapons produced by Rivendell. The forging process is a bit lacking, and the weight distribution is not very balanced.

But this is enough. After all, not all elves have superb forging skills, so the requirements cannot be too high.

Seeing Gao Yuan get the weapon, Legolas did not rush to attack Gao Yuan. Anyone who often uses a sword knows that after getting an unfamiliar weapon, there is a process of getting familiar with the weapon.

"Okay, it's time to start." Gao Yuan quickly became familiar with the two-handed sword in his hand and made a starting position.

Hearing Gao Yuan say to be ready, Legolas stopped being polite and rushed towards Gao Yuan.

Gao Yuan once studied Rivendell's elven swordsmanship with Elrohir and Elladan in Rivendell. Although it is different from the swordsmanship used by the elves in the Woodland Kingdom, there is not much difference in its essence.

the difference.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Compared with the swordsmanship used by humans, the swordsmanship of elves is more flexible and changeable. Coupled with the agile body of elves, it can face both size and strength.

Even when faced with an enemy that is far superior to itself, it still appears to be at ease.

Therefore, elves who use this kind of swordsmanship never easily compete with the enemy in terms of strength when fighting with the enemy. They usually wait for the opportunity to move and break up at the first touch.

This has also led to many people who do not understand the elves to have the illusion that elves cannot compete with other races in terms of strength, and they rely more on their agility to defeat their enemies.

Although Gao Yuan also uses elven swordsmanship, he is not as agile as the elves, so he focuses more on learning and applying swordsmanship skills on the wrist and arms.

Facing Legolas's fast and cunning attack, Gao Yuan was like a towering mountain, blocking all Legolas' attacks without leaking.

He just took a few steps back to avoid its attack on his vitals.

Although Legolas is best at bow and arrow, his swordsmanship is not bad either. With his agility, his swordsmanship is quite threatening to Gao Yuan.

Of course, Gao Yuan could not always let Legolas attack. How could he not understand that long-term defense would lead to failure?

In fact, he has been waiting for an opportunity to fight back.

As the saying goes, if you make great efforts at one time, you will be exhausted again and again.

No matter how experienced a warrior is, during a long period of continuous attack, there will always be gaps for breathing.

The opportunity Gao Yuan was waiting for was the gap when Legolas took a breath.

The continuous attacks rapidly reduced the oxygen in Legolas's lungs, and he began to breathe unconsciously.

When he was taking a breath, the movement of his hands naturally slowed down by half a beat. He kept observing the height of Legolas' attack and immediately noticed the opportunity for Legolas to take a breath, and a light flashed in his eyes.
