Chapter 1072 Mo VS Mu Xuejian (I)
"Well, will the fourth group start? It's quite early."
Hopkins nodded slightly and said casually. He let Mu Xuejian continue to be in a daze, and then he turned his attention to the several "colleagues" not far away who were not as high as the dean himself, but were even better in terms of strength. He opened his eyes and nodded slightly.
Those senior members of the Paladin Academy who usually have their eyes high and are not very convinced of Hopkins as the dean, this time they all smiled like flowers and gave casual instructions with cheerful smiles. After a few words to the students who came to participate in the competition, they left together.
Their task today is very simple, that is, they go to three competition venues to watch the game. Of course, although it is said to be 'three competition venues', the three competition stages in the first round of the knockout round are very close to each other. The surroundings are separated from each other by barriers that are invisible to the naked eye. Cut to prevent the situation like "Contestant A on stage ① hit Contestant D on stage ② with a small X flying knife", but even if it is the cheapest, most remote and corner standing ticket, the audience People can easily have a panoramic view of the large arena that was temporarily divided into three arenas.
Even with the auditorium like this, the preparation area where the contestants and their delegations are located is more convenient to see.
Hopkins assigned a task to these good colleagues who suddenly became behaving because he 'recruited' Mu Xuejian, that is, to keep an eye on the White Oath Knight from the first game on. Academy contestants, Knight Guild Academy City Branch contestants, and those from the Diesel family, find out the strongest among them for evaluation. If that person is judged to be capable of fighting Mu Xuejian, even if The possibility of winning is very slim, so we must focus on research and targeting!
To be honest, after seeing Mu Xuejian's strength with their own eyes, the college management, headed by the two vice-presidents, didn't think there was anyone who could 'fight against Mu Xuejian' strength, but after all, the person was found by the dean, and his skills are truly impeccable. , plus Hopkins made a bet with those unpleasant guys against all odds, and then found a trump card that could win the bet 100%, so at least in In the past few days, everyone is still very convinced of this dean who usually does not show off his integrity and only handles administrative and internal affairs.
Just watch, no matter where you are watching the game, it will not delay Mu Xuejian from winning the game.
With this mentality, the group of people followed Hopkins' instructions and walked to the competition arena that they were more interested in. Of course, the person in the competition arena No. 2 where Mu Xuejian was located There are the most. Although no one thinks that the first round of the knockout round will be anything interesting, it is not bad to watch the excitement without any access.
All in all, Gavinrad Diesel's caution does not mean that Hopkins Leon will take it lightly. To put it simply, both parties are not stupid, and they invariably unfolded the situation carefully with a 'big name' in hand. Test.
A temptation that was over as soon as it started.

Game time AM09:18
Academy City Central District, central area on the first floor of the arena, in front of the ② stage, waiting area
"How are you, are you nervous?"
In the bustling crowd, Jadeka turned to Mo Tan with a smile and winked: "It will start in less than half an hour, if nothing happens. , you are about to compete in the fourth game on stage ②.”
Because the players will compete on three stages at the same time, so. The process of the first knockout round of the individual competition is relatively fast. As Jadeka said, Mo Tan, who was drawn with the 22nd lottery, should appear after the third game on the ② stage, and the 100th draw was drawn respectively. Liadrin and Kevin on No. 45 and No. 213 will be later, so everyone is basically waiting for Mo Tan's game to start near No. 2.
However, in order not to attract the attention of others, except for Jadeka, Ji Xiaoge and Yaya, who did not look like contestants at first glance and no one knew them, no matter the well-known Jia Deka, Ji Xiaoge and Ya Ya, Vinrad and Marla were still wearing the Diesel family's standard armor (Motan's was an old model from decades ago and had no family crest). Neither Liadrin nor Kevin came over.
Mo Tan shook his head and said with a smile: "I'm nervous, but I don't feel nervous at all, but it's really lively here. I feel like the atmosphere is pretty good."
"Yeah! It looks so interesting!"
Ji Xiaoge also nodded vigorously and said with a smile: "Although this place is not as big as the Tianzhu Mountain Arena, it gives people a different feeling. It’s completely different! It’s like a hot-blooded comic!”
Ya tilted her head curiously: “Wangxuewanghua?”
“Well, it’s barely a culture in our world. , it feels almost like a minstrel story~"
Ji Xiaoge hugged Yaya's shoulders and explained, fluttering his wings and looking around: "I don't know who Mo's opponent is!"
Jadeka shook his head: "Basically no useful information could be collected before the end of the first round. Except for the contestants themselves and their relatives, no one even knew the opponent's origin and name, but basic information and so on It will basically be completely transparent after the round. Before each game, the referee will briefly introduce the names and backgrounds of both parties. "
Ji Xiaoge hummed a tune and asked casually while combing Yaya's pigtails. : "So what we have to pay attention to is the Paladin Knights Are you a contestant in the academy?”
“That’s what Marla and Gavin Ladd will do, at least until they lock in the target, we just have to enjoy the game.”
Jadeka laughed and patted Mo Tan. shoulder: "You too, you don't need to think so much first, it is true to enjoy the atmosphere here more."
Mo Tan nodded slightly and showed an exceptionally sunny smile to the old mage: " Don’t worry.”
"Don't put extra pressure on yourself."
Although he knew that his old friend did not need this kind of advice, Jadeka couldn't help but said: "As you said before, try your best. Just for the sake of it, although you can be considered a trump card, the focus is actually on the team competition."
Mo Tan smiled at a few young people who nodded to him not far away, and continued to nod: "I know."
"Don't worry, Lao Jia, you said it yourself, Mo is definitely at the ceiling level in the high-level competition area."
Ji Xiaoge put his wings together and Yaya wrapped himself in his wings, hugged the latter who looked enjoying himself and playfully stuck out his tongue: "Although I don't know much about knights."
Suddenly, most of the men and a few women around them fell into a daze. You must know that Ji Xiaoge was quite conspicuous because of her appearance that was incompatible with the profession of knight. In addition, although she was in [Left and Independent] Although his influence has been greatly reduced due to his talent, he still has a stunning appearance. It is really difficult to attract attention... especially from those young men who are full of energy.
Paired with the playful look on her face just now with her tongue sticking out, the lethality is really quite high.
“Be low-key, be low-key!”
He said that Mo Tan should not put too much pressure on him, but in fact, Jadeka, who was very concerned about the results of the individual competition, immediately nervously blocked Ji Xiaoge’s path. In front of him, he whispered with a vigilant face: "Don't let Mo make you uncomfortable. You need to pay attention!"
Ji Xiaoge smiled coquettishly, then stretched out his little hand and waved it gently to Mo Tan: "Go, go, take it somewhere else, I'm too tall. Looks good, you will be noticed together!”
"Oh."
Mo Tan nodded obediently, stood up, and then blended into the crowd without looking back, and soon disappeared from the sight of several people.
Ji Xiaoge was shocked at that time: "Hey! I was just joking!"
"Mowang!"
Ya Ya also let out a soft cry, Then he jumped out with a 'whoosh' sound: "Wait a minute!"
"Don't go."
Jadeka grabbed Ji Xiaoge, who was about to go with him, and said seriously to the winged girl with a face full of confusion: " You will affect his state."
"Why will I affect his state? What’s wrong?”
“Didn’t you just say that you are so good-looking?”
“Yes, then?” “Our family is not a saint either. Ah, especially since I haven’t seen you much in the past few days.”
"Huh?"
"Anyway, just listen to me and just stay here."
"Pfft~"
"Little Pigeon, why are you laughing?"
"It doesn't matter what you say, Lao Jia, you actually care about Yimo's grades, don't you?"
"..."
"Haha, I know, I know, as long as they don't go, I Stay here with the lonely old man."
"Lonely... lonely old man?"
...
A moment later
Game time AM09:48
"The game is ready to start, No. 3, Finn, the third grader of Paladin Military Academy."
In the middle of the competition stage No. 2, wearing Wearing heavy armor, the half-orc referee with obvious mammoth ancestry, a serious face, and big nose and ears knocked hard on the two heavy shields in his hands, and after the originally noisy scene suddenly quieted down, he said in a deep voice: "Four No., Knight Guild delegation Rex, come on stage.”
A few seconds later, the two contestants whose names were called stepped onto the stage, named Finn, a third-year student at a certain military academy. The student was a lizard man boy whose age was indistinguishable but he should be in his early twenties. Not only was his face livid but he was shaking violently. The opponent, the orc knight Rex, had a straight face and no expression at all.
Neither of them carried mounts. They wore different styles of knight's heavy armor, and their weapons were broadswords and war guns.
But the difference is that they are both two-handed weapons. The lizard boy holds a sword with both hands, while the orc knight standing not far from him holds a gun with one hand.
“There is no time limit in the competition. Losing consciousness, going out of bounds, being judged by me to be unable to resist, using prohibited drugs, maliciously maiming the opponent, and trying to kill the opponent will all be considered failures. Those with serious circumstances will be punished. ”
The Mammoth referee and the referees on the other two venues loudly read out the basic precautions, then raised their right hands high and flew away from the field after shouting "the game begins" in a deep voice. .
The next second, No. 1 vs. No. 2, No. 3 vs. No. 4, No. 5 vs. No. 6, a total of three sets of competitions started at the same time.
"Mo Wang Mo Wang!"
In a corner near the competition stage No. 2, Ya Ya pulled Mo Tan's arm excitedly, lowered his voice and asked softly: "Which dog do you think can do it?" "Wang?"
Mo Tan gave the answer without thinking: "The No. 4 player named Rex is much stronger just by looking at his momentum. If No. 3 doesn't intend to play the pig and eat the tiger, , It should be soon... Well, sure enough. "
The pace of the game was faster than expected. Before Mo Tan finished explaining to Yaya in the audience, the orc knight Rex on the stage had already shot him. The knight's sword flew away from the hand of the third player Finn, and he easily pressed the heavy lance in his hand against the side of the latter's neck.
"I... give in."
Finn, the pale lizard knight, slowly raised his hands, and after Rex put away his gun and saluted, he returned the salute hastily, and then ran down the stage dejectedly to accept the comfort of the students in the audience. .
The winner did not waste a second more. After briefly saluting the referee, he left the competition stage just as quickly, making way for the latter group.
“Well, it’s not that barking at all. Although the strong one won, he definitely won’t be able to bark!”
After discovering that it was not as exciting as I imagined, I was jumping for joy. The girl immediately wilted visibly, holding Mo Tan's arm and started mumbling.
“Haha, Yaya, you are very powerful.”
Because he knew very well that the orc knight would be easily defeated when he encountered Yaya, Mo Tan did not go overboard and educate the latter to be humble, but ruffled her hair cheerfully: "Disappointed?"
"I'm very happy that I didn't lose my bark!"
Ya turned his head and glanced at No. 9 and No. 10 who had already begun to salute each other on the stage, and grinned: "If those dogs were all that barking, Mo Wang would I will definitely get Wang Jun easily!"
Mo Tan chuckled and shook his head: "You are thinking too easily. This is just the first round of the main competition, and it will definitely become more and more popular in the future. It’s exciting, and the opponents will become more and more powerful, of course, if I can get through this round.”
This is what he is like under his current personality, even though the players currently on the field are inferior in combat ability. Not to mention Motan, even someone of Liadrin's level would definitely not be able to beat her, but he still didn't act as if he could survive the first round.
...
More than ten minutes later
As player No. 15 was caught by his opponent and made a slight mistake, and because of his poor mental quality, he failed to correct his flaw in time, and finally in No. 16's throat was sweetened by the storm-like continuous attacks, and a mouthful of blood came out from the shock. He sat down on the ground with a pale face and declared the end of the game.
Then——
“On the 21st, the Diesel family delegation remained silent.”
The mammoth man who re-entered the stage looked down at the battle roster and said solemnly: "On the 22nd, Mu Xuejian, a second-year student from the Paladin Knight Academy, comes on stage."
[Paladin Knight Academy! ? 】
The moment the second name was read, Jadeka, Ji Xiaoge, Gavin Rad, Liadrin and other 'own people' who had already turned their attention were all stunned. .
[Mu Xuejian? ! 】
Mo Tan, who walked onto the competition stage, suddenly opened his eyes wide, staring at the white-haired girl in front of him with eyes full of astonishment.
There is no other reason...
Just this morning in real time, he had seen this name on the homepage of the official website's personal power rankings, which were updated on average every half hour!
No.15: Mu Xuejian-Absolute Neutral-Sword Crazy!
