After the two groups of brats had all gone home, the two swordmaidens, who were at loggerheads and mocking each other just a moment ago, sneakily gathered together. Qing poked the dimple on Gu Yun's face and said, "Hey, how much money did you scam?"
"Not much, just two-thirds of it!"
Gu Yun smirked and took out about a thousand RMB from her hand as if she was performing a magic trick. Good heavens, Gu Yun is really unscrupulous. She actually deducted two-thirds of the pocket money from a group of children, even though they are also children!
"I want to eat meat!" Qingpin looked at the money with stars in his eyes and shouted excitedly.
"I want to eat meat. Qingpin hasn't eaten meat for almost twenty days!
Qingpin wants to eat meat! "
"You're not allowed to eat!
We have to keep this money to find Big Brother. This money isn't even enough to fill the gaps between your teeth! "Gu Yun rejected cruelly.
"No way!
No way!
Qingpin wants to eat meat. If Guhan was here, he would definitely use this money to buy meat for Qingpin! "
Poor Qing jumped onto Gu Yun's head, constantly poking at the dimples on Gu Yun's face, shouting as he poked at her.
"Get lost. I'm not a lolicon like Big Brother. He can't do anything when he sees a loli acting cute. I'm also a loli. Why don't I clamor to eat meat!"
Gu Yun let Qingpin ride on her neck, "Qingpin, listen to me. We have to use this money to find Big Brother. As long as we find Big Brother, you can eat as much meat as you want, right?"
"But where is Guhan?
We haven't found him for so long. Qingpin's feet are swollen from walking, but we still can't find Guhan. "
Qingpin pouted, "Gu Yun, do you think Guhan is already dead? Why don't we split up Guhan's head and go home?"
"You idiot Qingpin, we don't have a home … Guhan is our home …" Gu Yun slapped Qingpin's butt. "And his brother is definitely not dead. If he is dead, we will turn back into swords. How can we still be alive? So, Guhan must be trapped somewhere.
Yi Tian has already been taken away. Big Brother doesn't have the Sword Lady by his side, so he can't escape. So, we must find Big Brother. Do you understand? "
"Got it. Let's go eat meat!" Qing Pin had an expression of "I've been convinced".
"… How about this, let's go eat pork noodles, okay?
One mouthful of meat is equivalent to ten mouthfuls of meat! "Gu Yun gave a good suggestion.
"En!" Qingpin kissed Gu Yun's face. "The same taste as Guhan!"
"Little slut …" Gu Yun blushed. When did this Qingpin learn how to flirt with girls?
It's all Guhan's fault.
…
The semi-finals began. Guhan's match was scheduled to be in the morning. After the ancient sword group's match was over, it was Guhan's treasured sword group's turn.
Based on the principle that the more attention there was, the more the ancient sword group, treasured sword group, and famed sword group's match was scheduled to be in the morning, while the spiritual sword group, immortal sword group, and emperor sword group's match were scheduled to be in the afternoon.
Originally, Guhan's match was more popular than the spiritual sword group, so it should have been in the afternoon.
However, this was a rule that had been passed down for 200 years, so it couldn't be changed just because of Guhan.
The first match was the ancient sword group's semi-finals. Because of the strength of the Sword Ladies, most of the ancient sword ladies were fighting hand to hand. Very few of them were able to use any flashy skills, so the matches were very boring … The matches were also very fast. In less than half an hour, the ancient sword group's semi-finals were all over. The remaining matches were for the eighth to fifth place. However, these matches wouldn't be broadcasted, so those who were interested could enter their arenas to watch them.
After the ancient sword group's match was over, it was Guhan's turn. Moreover, Guhan was the first contestant of the treasured sword group. Guhan's opponent was the girl that Guhan had been paying attention to before. She was quite good at swordsmanship and had the ability to be a sword master.
It could be seen that this girl was probably from an aristocratic family. After entering the arena, besides the standard opening speech, she also very respectfully bowed a full 120 degrees. The whole movement was very respectful, neat, and standard. There wasn't a single mistake that could be picked out. It gave people a sense of satisfaction that they were respected!
This kind of etiquette was only known to sword bearers from aristocratic families or famous sects.
Generally speaking, a 60 degrees bow was enough for a question mark between peers.
If it was a junior facing an elder, then it needed to be 90 degrees.
This 120 degrees bow was only given by a disciple to a master.
Of course, Guhan couldn't be this girl's master. Therefore, this girl had to show that she respected him as much as she respected her master. That was why she bowed 120 degrees.
"Sir Military Governor, I'm Lin Yue. I've watched all of your battle videos, and I've admired your fighting skills and swordsmanship for a long time.
I know that I'm no match for Sir Military Governor, so I should throw my sword and admit defeat.
However, thinking about being able to spar with Sir Military Governor, my heart is filled with excitement.
Today, I've made a fool of myself in front of you. I hope that you'll be generous enough to teach me a thing or two. If you can teach me a thing or two about swordsmanship, I'll be very grateful!
I hope that you'll be magnanimous enough to forgive me. "
This Lin Yue was indeed from an aristocratic family. The way she spoke was very appropriate. It made Guhan feel like he was bathing in the spring breeze.
Moreover, Guhan could feel that her words were sincere. This made Guhan very happy. He nodded in his heart. There's no harm in teaching her a thing or two.
However, wasn't the name above this Lin Yue's head Ling Xin? Why did she call herself Lin Yue?
Could it be that this was her real name?
Guhan raised his head and looked at the serious face of this girl. His heart skipped a beat. This girl, did she stupidly say her real name?
"I wouldn't dare to teach you. Let's just compare notes!" Guhan replied with a smile. The battle between the two of them had officially begun.
When they actually started fighting, Guhan realized that he had to raise Lin Yue's skills a bit more. She had been holding back during the quarter-finals and had only used about 70% of her swordsmanship. This time, against Guhan, Lin Yue went all out. All kinds of swordsmanship began to crazily greet Guhan's body.
Lin Yue's swordsmanship focused on big moves. She walked the path of extreme steel and extreme yang that girls rarely walked. The Zhen Yue Sword in her hand was a giant sword. When she swung it around, it was full of power. It was clearly a defensive giant sword, but in her hands, it had the domineering aura of a murderous sword lady.
Guhan exchanged a few dozen blows with her. His entire body's blood flowed faster and faster. A wave of energy rushed out from his Purple Palace. With a long roar, it all exploded out.
"Come at me!
What do you think of this move of mine! "
The Heavenly Sword in Guhan's hand suddenly turned into a dot of starlight. It touched the Zhen Yue Sword's blade three inches away … It looked like it didn't have any killing power, but Lin Yue felt as if she had been hit by something. She staggered and retreated a few steps. The Zhen Yue Sword in her hand flew out of her hand and fell to the ground.
"I lost!" Lin Yue crawled up from the ground and let out a long sigh.
Even though she knew this would be the result, when the Zhen Yue Sword in her hand was sent flying by Guhan, Lin Yue still felt a trace of unwillingness from the bottom of her heart. She had thought that she would be able to last more than a hundred moves against the Military Governor. She didn't think that she would lose in less than 40 moves. This made Lin Yue extremely discouraged.
"You don't need to be discouraged. To be honest, your talent isn't that high. Yet, you were able to train to this level. It's clear that you have put all of your energy into your sword skills. Within the younger generation, there are very few people who are as hardworking as you. As long as you don't give up on your training, you will definitely become an outstanding Sword Master in the future!"
Guhan sincerely said. However, his tone was like that of a senior. He seemed to have forgotten that in terms of age, he was actually a bit younger than Lin Yue.
"Originally, I could have defeated you within five moves. However, I purposely exchanged a few dozen moves with you in order to point out the flaws in your sword skills. After the competition ends, you should carefully ponder over this exchange and then carefully study the recording. I believe that your sword skills will reach another level!" Guhan's words made Lin Yue feel extremely ashamed. She felt that she couldn't even take five moves from him.
The battle between Guhan and Lin Yue ended peacefully. However, the two of them would cross paths again in the future. For now, let's not talk about it.
After Guhan's semi-final, it was the turn of the good guy from Fantasy Village. This guy, who regarded Guhan as his biggest opponent, also neatly defeated his opponent. Tomorrow's final would be between Guhan and the good guy from Fantasy Village.
Then, it was the semi-final of the famous swords group. Guhan watched these two battles very seriously. If it was as he expected, then there would be opponents for him in these two battles!
Guhan's ambition wasn't just to be the champion of the treasured swords group. It was just a pitiful 5,000 Swordessence Oral Solution. If his goal was revealed, it would shock everyone.
The opponents of the famous swords group were a hurdle that he had to overcome.
However, when he began to watch the battles of the famous swords group, Guhan was pleasantly surprised to find that the four opponents of the famous swords group were all people he knew.
The first opponent was Steel Centipede, who had been casually used by Aaron Datet and passed through the "King Arthur's Betrayal" dungeon with him. This guy had actually made it to the semi-final of the famous swords group.
His opponent was Dragon Feather, the guy who had the first kill of the dungeon snatched from Guhan's hands.
Guhan looked at the information about Dragon Feather in the forum. It was said that Dragon Feather had disappeared for many days after his defeat. If it wasn't for this Eight City Sword Tournament, he probably wouldn't have appeared again.
Dragon Feather swept all his opponents in the competition. He was the first in the preliminary round of the famous swords group. All the battles in the semi-finals ended within three minutes. His strength was frighteningly strong, and he was known as the first seed of the famous swords group.
However, the record of ending a battle within three minutes was broken by Steel Centipede.
Steel Centipede's Aaron Datet was not very good in other aspects, but his defensive ability was absolutely top-notch. He forcibly endured Dragon Feather's crazy attacks for 20 minutes before admitting defeat because the energy of his personal shield was exhausted.
It seemed that Steel Centipede and his opponent were locked in a stalemate. However, in Guhan's eyes, Steel Centipede was completely crushed. Steel Centipede was only able to rely on his own defensive ability to resist. From the beginning to the end, he did not even have a chance to counterattack.
