Chapter 1078 Yi Zuo’s Breakthrough
At the referee’s greeting, Contestant No. 145, Liadrin Blood Maple L. Diesel, slowly walked onto the stage with a steady gaze. , expression gloomy.
With her long golden-red hair tied into a sleek single ponytail, and wearing a black standard knight heavy armor with the Diesel family crest printed on the chest, Liadrin silently took off her back holding his giant sword, he simply made a knightly salute to the opponent in front of him.
"I encountered such an opponent in the first round..."
The White Elf Female Knight's opponent, the rather sturdy Beast Elf Player No. 146, took a deep breath. In one breath, he took out the specially customized broad-edged sword from his waist, and responded with a crisp salute: "Please give me some advice, Miss Diesel."
The next second, the referee signaled the start of the game, and he jumped off the stage for an unknown number of times.
At the same time, Liadrin swayed and rushed to the beast elf not far away without most people reacting. The giant sword in her hand whizzed out, He hit the opponent's one-handed broad-bladed sword hard in front of him in a hurry.
[Charge] + [Spinous Process]
With just one blow, Liadrin forced the beast elf, whose physical strength was far superior to the white elf, back several steps.
Not leaving any room for breathing for the opponent, the female knight's slender and strong figure swept out like a shadow, appearing at the edge of the field almost at the same time as her opponent, and then——
A piercing sound like thunder exploded on the spot, and the beast elf knight who had no time to react was directly swept out of the competition field with a sword, and he lost the game neatly.
Amidst the exclamations and cheers, Liadrin expressionlessly hung the greatsword back on her back and walked off the stage without saying a word.
......
"That's amazing!"
Yu Chen patted his little hands that were already turning red, turned to Mo Tan and smiled: "Yege sent a message saying that the handsome knight lady is called Liadrin, and she is the leader of the young people in the Diesel delegation. Hey! Hei Fan, you are frowning so tightly."< br>
Only then did he realize that he had unknowingly put on a constipated face. Mo Tan quickly re-managed his expression, then lowered his eyes and said softly: "I don't know if it's an illusion, but I always feel that the person named Liadrin’s Elf Knight is a little...too nervous.”
Although it doesn’t matter if you don’t say it, since it’s not a big deal, Mo Tan still doesn’t mind sharing his thoughts with Yu Chen. Yes, it’s just that I can’t explain it in too much detail and straightforwardness.
Specifically, based on Mo Tan’s understanding of Liadrin, if she was in a normal state, even if she could easily win this game, she would not be as strong as she is now. Or rather...anxious.
As for the reason, it is really not difficult to guess.
Even if Mo Tan is not the 'Black Brahman' at this moment, anyone who understands the whole incident can see that the reason why Liadrin is 'anxious' is naturally The fact that someone who was supposed to be the ace was eliminated in the first round.
As the strongest person in Diesel and the White Oath Knights Academy camp besides Mo Tan, even though she couldn't even defeat 'Mo' who was defeated by the white sword of the Paladin Knights Academy, even though no one gave him any help. There was no pressure on her. Even though everyone had already accepted the fact that the opponent would definitely win the individual competition, Liadrin still couldn't help herself from being nervous.
A heavy responsibility that did not come to her, nor did it belong to her, suddenly appeared in front of Liadrin after the failure of 'Mo'. Although no one had high hopes, this kind of responsibility It still felt like Liadrin's mentality had changed, and at this moment, the 'Black Van' could clearly capture this not-so-obvious 'change'.
This is human nature, but it is definitely not a good thing.
Perhaps for the beast elf knight who was knocked out of the field by two swords, Liadrin is more threatening now, but as the opponent's level gradually improves, things may not be that simple. .
[We need to think of a way, even if the individual competition doesn't matter anymore, if Liadrin is allowed to compete in the team competition in this mental state... Phew, it's really troublesome...]
Gently rubbing his forehead, Mo Tan cheered up and smiled at Yu Chen, whose face was full of curiosity: "It's nothing, I just thought that Knight Liadrin fought very fiercely, and I was just thinking Could it be that Brother Mo who was participating in the competition was not in a good mood or something?”
“Wow, Hei Fan, you are such a gossip.”
Chen poked Mo Tan's arm, covered his mouth and chuckled: "I didn't see anything, I just thought she was awesome."
Yizou, who was sitting next to him, frowned and said seriously. : "With all due respect, Your Highness, the strength of Miss Liadrin is much worse than that of my compatriot named 'Mo'. She should be on the same level as my brothers."
Yu Chen smiled sweetly, took Yi Zuo’s hand and smiled and said, “I’ve always thought you are awesome Yi Zuo.”
"Not really..."
Mo Tan shook his head slightly, turned to his cheap school girl and asked: "Yizou, what did Miss Liadrin do with her two swords just now? Can you catch it if she is in this state?"
The latter nodded without hesitation: "No problem at all, I can even start to fight back before she swings the second sword. ."
Mo Tan smiled and continued to ask: "So, are you confident that you can defeat her?"
"If nothing unexpected happens."
Yi Zuo smiled reservedly and said confidently: "I can win completely."
Mo Tan shrugged: "Well, but I think that if Ms. Liadrin can exert her full strength If so, it will be difficult for you to defeat her."
"Senior? "
Yizou blinked, rarely pouted and asked unconvincingly: "Why do you think so?"
"In my opinion, if she can give full play to her abilities, In terms of strength, it is at least about 50% stronger than it is now.”
Because of his experience as a 'Mo', Mo Tan was not afraid of saying the wrong thing, so he said the truth based on his 'feelings': "I've seen you fight many times with Sumir before. In comparison, Ms. Liadrin seems to be stronger."
Yizou pursed her lips. , after being silent for a while, he said: "But, I am probably about twice as strong now as I was in Sumir..."
"Huh?"
Mo Tan was then He was shocked, not just him, except Yu Chen who had no idea about strength, Fiyali next to him was also shocked.
After all, leaving aside the special beings like players who grow very fast before the high-level peak, the growth rate of NPCs is generally quite satisfactory. Although those beings with extremely high talents are not very reasonable, but As far as Mo Tan and Fiyali knew, although Yi Zou was indeed a very talented paladin, he did not have the potential to double his strength in just a few months.
Feiyali, who had also seen Yi Zuo's strength from Sumir, took a deep breath and asked the half-dragon female knight with a stern expression with stern eyes: "So, Jie Laite, what is your current strength..." ..."
"Yes...it's like this..."
Yizou scratched his hair in embarrassment and whispered: "I don't know what happened. When I realized it, it was almost half an epic."
Mo Tan and Feiyali froze as if struck by lightning.
“I should have been just shy of the high-level peak during the last battle in Sumir.”
Yi Zou looked down at his hands and spoke out for the first time what had troubled him for a long time: "Later, didn't I pass out for no reason... After that, I have been cultivating my body, and after I recovered, I became inexplicable. "Um..."
Fiyali's eyes widened, and her whole body Mo Tan, who was almost leaning between her and Yi Zuo, said in shock: "Then it becomes an inexplicable half-step epic?!"
"Speak well and pay attention to your image."
Yuchen coughed slightly, pressed Feiyali's forehead, which had a healthy hairline, and pushed her back.
“Well, that’s probably it.”
Yi Zou nodded with some trepidation and whispered: "Because I don't know why, I haven't said it yet, and I haven't gone to the Knight Hall to do the strength assessment, but now it's basically confirmed that I have a half-step epic... ...Although I still don’t know why.”
Fiyali smacked her lips, then suddenly took out a gold coin from her collar, held it in her hand and said to Yi Zuo seriously: “Hey, look here. "
"Huh?" The latter turned to look at Feiyali subconsciously.
The golden light appears!
The gold coin in Feiyali's hand suddenly seemed to come alive, shooting straight towards Yi Zou's chest without any warning, and then...
It was easily caught by the latter between his fingers.
"Your Highness Fiyali?"
Yizou, who subconsciously raised his hand to catch the 'sneak attack', blinked in confusion.
“Half-step epic.”
Feiyali twitched the corner of her mouth and said with a very subtle expression: "Congratulations, Jileite, you are a half-step epic."
After saying this, even if she still didn't understand the situation very well, Yuchen also understood that the gold coin just now was the test made by the Saint of Fortune to see whether Yi Zuo had indeed entered the half-step epic.
As for the result of the temptation, she had already made it very clear just now.
Yizou·Jie Laite, a half-step epic, perfect.
“Well, you can apply to join the Guardian Knights of the Dawn Sect when you go back.”
Feiyali made a face at Yi Zuo, then casually changed the topic, turned to Mo Tan and asked: "But although Hafan, you were slapped in the face by Jileite just now, you seem to be quite discerning, that It can be seen that the knight named Liadrin failed to exert her full strength. "
Mo Tan, who was actually just trying to show off on a whim, laughed twice and said nothing.
"Okay, okay, don't waste time with us here."
Fiyali yawned and waved to Mo Tan: "You go directly to the judging panel. Well, although not many people came this morning, there were quite a few people who came here specifically to watch the big boss after Mu Xuejian’s game. It would be good for you, the Shuguang Sect, to have a good chat and become familiar with each other. "< br>
After saying hello, Mo Tan, who originally planned to find an opportunity to avoid Yu Chen (which seriously affected his thinking ability) and go to the judges' seat to watch the competition quietly, nodded slightly, then stood up: "Then I'll go, in a moment I might have to do something else, so you don’t have to wait for me for lunch and dinner.”
Yuchen nodded and smiled sweetly: "Be careful on the road and remember not to get lost."
Fiyali rolled her eyes and curled her lips and said: "Have you had lunch or dinner with us? ? Go ahead and do what you have to do.”
“ Please walk slowly and pay attention to safety.”
Yizou, who had been holding the gold coin thoughtfully since just now, also raised his head and looked at her with concern. Although he was very great and worthy of dependence in her eyes, At the same time, the senior who was "unable to restrain a chicken" gave instructions.
“How can there be so much danger~”
Mo Tan smiled, and then left with steps that were not very brisk.
[Before Diesel encounters the Paladin Academy, he must at least have a rough grasp of those people's fighting styles...]
Hold the jury proof in your hands tightly and want to work harder. Mo Tan's eyes were fixed and he began to look for a way.

Game time AM11:45
Academy City Central District, Arena, Jury Stand
"How's it going, Tom?"
In a seat in the corner, there was a man with slender phoenix eyes and a monocle. The man leaned lazily on the back of the chair and asked softly to the little snake in his arms: "Is there anyone worth caring about?"
"No."
Boarding in Tom Lestrange in his pet body gave a cold answer, snorting contemptuously: "Just a bunch of fish."
Lamorlock, who comes from the Dream Kingdom in the Southwest Continent and received an invitation from the Jury Committee of the Fighting Competition early, raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Oh? Does the white-haired girl you mentioned include the miscellaneous fish? That one is almost Mu Xuejian turned the sword into an art."
Tom was silent, and after a long time he said coldly: "If I could regain my full strength, that woman would never draw the sword in front of me. Opportunity."
"Of course, I have no doubts about it. After all, you are different from me, you are all geniuses in the field of combat."
Lamorlock shrugged, and then changed the subject. , said calmly: "But, what if that girl breaks through to the same epic level as you? Will you still be so confident?"
"Of course."
Tom answered without thinking.
"Haha, young man, you can even lie to yourself so easily."
Lamorlock grinned, shook his head and said: "Don't lie to yourself, that girl drew her sword before At that time, the murderous intention emanating from you... no, should I say it was a sense of vigilance? It was so frightening that I couldn't breathe."
Tom was silent again.
“You should feel happy, dear Tom, after all, for a genius like you, it is very lucky to have someone like Mu Xuejian who may surpass yourself if you are not careful. ”
"What about you? Do you feel very happy now, Lamorlock."
"Me?"
"If I remember correctly, the black man you have been thinking about all the time Van', that one is destined to die in my hands The man must be one of the judges of this competition, right?”
“Haha, why else do you think I would come here to join in the fun on the first day?”
“It’s a pity that he’s not here? .”
"No, it's not a pity at all. After all, being late is the privilege of the strong."
"Late?"
"Look, isn't he coming right now~"
< br>“Are you sure?”
“Otherwise? I’ve seen him.”
"But he's going in the opposite direction from here."
"Huh?"
