Planting the Immortality Tree in the Wizarding World

Chapter 148 Horsemanship, Spearmanship, and Swordmanship

Paul knew some of the wizards in the stands.

He also told Ronan the levels of these wizards.

These wizards include first-level formal wizards, elite wizards, and true knowledge wizards.

Ronan used Hongmeng to analyze these wizards, and after getting the values, he had a general understanding of the strength of first-level to third-level formal wizards.

After hearing the news, Ronan returned to his original position and sat with Layton and Bran.

At this time, musicians were playing in the Colosseum, as if warming up for the competition.

A long railing has been placed in the Colosseum.

Later, the knights will each fight on both sides of the railing with equestrianism and spearmanship.

After the audience listened to the instrumental performance for a while, the knight competition began.

Ronan analyzed the values ​​of the first two knights to come on stage and knew that they were both in the late stage of the Golden Knight.

Both knights wore armor given by the royal family, holding a wooden spear in their right hand and a shield in their left hand, and each rode a tall horse.

Not far from the railing, there was a man holding a copper hammer.

As long as he hit the copper hammer on the bronze bell, the duel would begin.

The two knights were ready on both sides of the railing.

Ding!

As the bell rang, the two knights squeezed their horses' bellies.

The horses under their crotch understood and immediately stepped forward with four hooves, galloping forward with a cloud of dust.

The two knights slightly raised their spears while the horses were galloping.

The shields in their left hands were placed in front of their chests.

The pair of eyes in the helmets radiated brilliance, paying close attention to the opponent's every move.

Soon, the two horses crossed each other.

The two men thrust out their wooden spears and stabbed each other's shields.

Both of them slightly tilted their bodies and continued to charge forward.

Then, the two squeezed their horses' bellies, and the horses immediately turned a corner.

Then, they charged again.

While the two men in the field were fighting fiercely, the audience was cheering.

Ronan also heard that some people in the audience were gambling on this.

After the two horses crossed each other for more than ten times.

Finally, during one of the crosses, one of the knights made a mistake and was immediately stabbed off his horse.

Suddenly, some people in the audience cheered, while others were disappointed.

Those who were disappointed were because this competition did not have the bloody scene they wanted to see.

Next, two pairs of knights went on stage to fight.

According to the data returned by Hongmeng, Ronan saw that these knights were at least late-stage golden knights.

Peak golden knights also accounted for a large part.

When late-stage golden knights faced peak golden knights, they were all born at the peak golden knights.

After all, the reaction of peak golden knights is faster than that of late-stage golden knights.

This reaction speed is sometimes not compensated by skills.

After more than twenty battles, Ronan and his team finally saw Lyon on the field.

Although Lyon was covered tightly with armor.

But they were very familiar with Lyon.

From Lyon's figure and posture, they could tell that this person was Lyon.

In this duel, Lyon's opponent was a late-stage golden knight, who had not yet reached the peak of golden knights.

The result was almost a foregone conclusion.

Ronan heard that the odds for Lyon were one to one, while the odds for the other knight were one to two hundred.

He thought to himself that the gamblers seemed to have found out the news about every knight on the field.

Otherwise, they would not know that Lyon was stronger than his opponent at such a long distance.

Dangdangdang!

Soon, the competition began.

The two horses charged and then crossed!

Bang!

Lyon suddenly stabbed the wooden spear in his hand towards the opponent's gap!

The opponent was slow to react and had no time to block or dodge, and was immediately stabbed in the armor around his waist by Lyon's wooden spear.

Lyon's wooden spear tip cracked due to the strong stabbing.

And his opponent was stabbed and flew out.

...

The competition was going on enthusiastically.

Ronan and the others saw Lyon go on the field five times in total.

Three times, he stabbed his opponent off the horse with one blow.

In the other two times, the rounds of fighting would not exceed five.

After watching these dozens of competitions, Lyon has become one of the dark horses who won the first place.

Ronan watched these competitions and used Hongmeng to analyze the values ​​of each knight.

He saw that the values ​​of the knights at the peak of the golden knights were only 3 points different.

In other words, who can win the first place really depends on skills and luck.

...

Soon, the competition came to the quarterfinals.

Lyon played twice and stabbed his opponent under the horse.

Finally, it came to the first and second place.

Layton couldn't help but burst into tears when he saw this.

In fact, Lyon's reaching the quarterfinals has exceeded his expectations.

And both the first and second place are of great help to the Lawrence family.

Even if Lyon is only the second place, there will definitely be a wizard willing to transform his body for him.

By then, their Lawrence family will be attached to a top wizard family.

Then his entire family, not to mention in the southeast province, can be ranked in the whole country.

The leap of the family class will bring more resources.

At that time, the family will use these resources to train his second son Ronan as a wizard.

When Ronan becomes a formal wizard, the family's strength will be further enhanced.

Soon, by the generation of Leon and Ronan, their family was considered a wizard family and officially ranked among the upper nobles of the kingdom.

Ronan and Bran looked at Leighton sideways when they heard him sniffing softly.

But as the bell rang, they turned their attention back to the field.

Leon and another knight named Andel began to duel.

From the previous duel, Ronan found that these two people had completely different fighting styles.

Leon was stable first, usually focusing on defense and supplemented by attack. Only after finding the opponent's flaw, he would immediately attack and stab the opponent off the horse.

And this knight named Andel was flexible and his arm span was much longer than that of ordinary people.

This made this knight very offensive.

From the previous few duels, Ronan saw that Andel never used a shield, and almost always used body twisting and riding skills to avoid the opponent's attack and counterattack at the same time.

From the competition just now, it is obvious that Andel is more dazzling than Lyon.

Andel has obviously knocked his opponent off his horse more times than Lyon.

Moreover, Andel is a knight from a wizard family, only 19 years old, younger than Lyon, and more handsome than Lyon.

Combining these factors, Andel's odds in the gambling in the audience are higher than Lyon.

After the bell rang, Lyon and Andel squeezed their horses' bellies and rushed forward!

Lyon deliberately lowered his center of gravity and held the shield tightly.

He had just watched Andel's several competitions and found that this person's attacks were unrestrained and he could not find his flaws for a while.

So, he had to watch this person's attacks a few more times before attacking.

Eight horse hooves stepped on the field, stirring up dust.

Andel cursed Lyon for defending like this.

When the two horses crossed, Andel just lightly tapped the wooden spear in his hand against Leon's shield.

If the wooden spear is stabbed hard on the wooden shield, the tip of the spear is likely to be damaged.

If his wooden spear is damaged, no matter how skilled he is, he will only be beaten.

Just as the two horses crossed, Andel suddenly twisted his body like a spring and stabbed the wooden spear in his hand backwards.

The tip of the spear was aimed at Leon's neck.

That place was the gap between the armor.

If the wooden spear was stabbed in from here, it would pierce the aorta in the neck.

In the two matches just now, Andel stabbed the wooden spear into the armor of the opponent's neck, directly piercing the opponent's neck and killing the opponent.

Although Leon crossed the horses, he was alert and still kept an eye on Andel.

Seeing Andel suddenly turn around and stab him with a spear, he leaned down and blocked the attack with his shield.

Thud!

The wooden spear stabbed the shield, making a muffled sound.

A crack appeared on the tip of the spear.

As the horse ran away, Andel could only make this attack.

Seeing that the attack did not work, Andel could not help but feel angry.

In the next few rounds, Leon still used the shield to block in front of him, but did not attack.

Although Andel was angry, he was also thinking hard about how to break through Leon's defense.

Suddenly, he seemed to think of something, smiled sinisterly, and then said to Leon:

"You are just from a knight family, but I am from a wizard family. It is very easy for our family to destroy your family."

"Your fighting style today really disgusts me. After the duel, I will let my family members deal with your Lawrence family."

"Let your entire family lose its territory, the men will go to guard the border, and the women will go to the dusty places."

"Ah!"

Leon's eyes seemed to be spitting fire, and he rushed towards Andel.

"That's right!"

Andel's eyes seemed to be burning with blazing flames.

He galloped on his horse, holding the spear in front of his chest, and rushed towards Leon.

Just when the two were about to stab each other with their spears.

It is obvious that Andel has a longer arm span, a better trajectory, and a faster speed.

But at this moment, Leon suddenly raised the shield in his hand and hit Andel's wooden spear.

Under the collision of the shield and the force of the wooden spear.

The tip of the wooden spear immediately burst into a ball of sawdust.

Andel's pupils suddenly shrank.

At this time, the long spear in Leon's hand did not slow down and had already stabbed out!

Bang!

Leon's wooden spear stabbed directly into the armor on Andel's chest.

The tip of the wooden spear exploded.

Andel left the saddle and flew out.

Andel was in mid-air, twisted his body, and barely landed on his feet.

He stared at Leon fiercely, "If I meet you in a sword fight, I will definitely kill you!"

Leon ignored his threat, just put his left hand on his chest, saluted according to the etiquette of the nobles, and then rode away.

...

After the horsemanship and spearmanship competition, the swordfighting competition followed.

The physical strength of the golden knights is extraordinary.

Even though they had just experienced a thrilling competition, their physical strength had long been restored.

Even those who were injured had medicine to help them recover quickly.

The railings on the Colosseum had been removed, leaving only an empty field.

The swordfight had a time limit.

The winner was determined by the paint on each person's armor.

If there is more paint on the vital parts, the person will most likely be judged as a loser.

Next, another team of knights will come on stage.

Compared with charging on horseback, two knights compete in swordsmanship, which is another visual experience for the audience.

Bran became excited when he saw the swordsmanship.

Compared with horsemanship and spearmanship, Bran is more interested in swordsmanship.

When Bran was in Redwood County, he followed several swordsmanship experts to practice.

Although his strength is only that of a silver knight, his swordsmanship attainments are no less than those swordsmanship experts.

Moreover, swordsmanship is more bloody and fierce than horsemanship and spearmanship in some aspects.

Because the tip of the sword is smaller than the tip of the spear, and fighting on the ground, the body is more flexible than riding a horse.

Therefore, the sword can more easily penetrate the gap between the armor.

There are several matches where some knights whose swordsmanship is obviously stronger than their opponents deliberately pierce the wooden sword into the gap between the opponent's armor and directly stab the opponent to death.

Seeing the blood gushing out of the armor, some spectators on the field became excited.

Lyon played several times, and he also maintained a steady style.

He always put his shield forward and focused on defense.

And he often kept a distance from his opponent with steady steps.

Finally, he spotted the opponent's flaws and attacked again.

Usually, after a competition, there was no trace of paint on his armor.

But the opponent's weak points had traces of paint.

The competition continued, and the gambling in the audience became more and more heated.

After a few hours, it was time to compete for the first and second place.

As most people expected, the competition for the first and second place was between Lyon and Andel again.

Lyon was born strong, and Andel was tall and thin with long arms.

Their body shape, to a certain extent, also determined their fighting style.

At this time, it was actually evening, and dusk was gradually closing in.

But the wizard on the stand chanted for a while.

There was a soft yellow light shining down from the sky.

The whole Colosseum was illuminated as if it were daytime.

As the bell rang, Andel shouted loudly, and his figure rushed towards Lyon like a snake.

The wooden sword in his right hand kept stabbing at Lyon.

Lyon used footwork and shield to resist.

There were traces of red paint on the shield.

Bran frowned when he saw this scene, "If Lyon keeps defending, he will be judged as losing when the time is up."

Layton patted Bran on the shoulder with his palm-leaf fan-like hand, "It's okay to lose, but it's still second."

Ronan watched with his divine vision, putting himself in Lyon's shoes, thinking about how to break the situation.

However, after thinking for a while, he found that he could not put himself in Lyon's situation at all.

Because he had never encountered such a scene of being suppressed and beaten.

If he encountered such a scenario, he would throw out the Qingling Sword Formation, the army of undead, talismans, etc. all at once, without even thinking about what swordsmanship he should use to win.
