Quadruple split

The little Thorn Wolf of Joban Studio once said that for professional players in studios or clubs like them, memorizing the names of those at the top of two rankings for the game "Innocent Bound" can be said to be compulsory. In class, if you write incorrectly, you will be deducted money.

Although Mo Tan is not a professional player, he still has this habit. He usually does not have the habit of going to public spaces, but about every two to three days he will go to the official website to check the two lists and compare the rankings. Write down the names of those people in front of you for emergencies.

The name [Mu Xuejian] has been at the top of the personal combat rankings since some time ago, and has been steadily improving. Today, it is not only on the home page, but is even ranked tenth. Pick five.

Then, at this moment, right here, a white-haired girl whose name was at least exactly the same as [Mu Xuejian] in terms of pronunciation, stood in front of him as his opponent.

Whether it was the long sword of unusual length hanging diagonally on her back, wrapped in linen bandages, or her status as a member of the Paladin Knight Academy, there was no way Mo Tan could not compare her with the one in the middle of the rankings. The fifteenth ranked boss is connected.

The Paladin Knight Academy, which had always been at a disadvantage in the competition, suddenly expanded, and even offered to bet against the two behemoths, the White Oath Knight Academy and the Diesel family. This kind of operation that is difficult for ordinary people to understand if you add a 'start'. After meeting the premise of Mu Xuejian on the ranking list, it suddenly became logical.

The killer family originally prepared by the Diesel family was the high-level white elf knight Liadrin Blood Maple L. Diesel. However, although her strength is indeed not bad, she still failed three times in a row in front of the character 'Mo'. It's hard to survive any move.

And even taking into account the talent [Reverse Scale] and the blood contract partner Wang Badan, the character 'Mo' is only in the top 100 in the official personal combat power rankings, always ranked between 90th and 95th. The range oscillates, and occasionally falls out for a day or two. It can be called the tail of the crane.

And the player named [Mu Xuejian]... Needless to say, the ranking of the fifteenth pick can already prove everything.

[This is really something bad...]

Mo Tan did not naively count on the possibility of 'names having similar pronunciations'. He just sighed deeply and braced himself, staring unblinkingly at the man with his hands hanging down not far away. A white-haired girl who looked like she didn't even bother to draw her sword.

"Game start!"

With a loud roar, the mammoth orc flew off the competition stage vigorously, leaving the field to Mu Xuejian, who looked lazy, and Mo Tan, who had unknowingly shed cold sweat on his forehead.

It's not that the latter's mental quality is poor. Mo Tan's body will tighten subconsciously now. It's entirely because the moment the referee said 'the game begins', he immediately felt a bone-chilling chill.

It was not fighting intent or murderous intent, but another inexplicable existence, which made 'Mo''s body, which had been through many battles, subconsciously start to tighten, and even involuntarily tightened his own weapon.

If we look at it from God's perspective, we can call the breath he felt at that moment - [Sword Intent].

Mu Xuejian subconsciously revealed his sword intention after hearing the words 'match begins'.

…

Off stage

"Wandeka! Sister Wang Ge! The Mo Wang competition has begun! Wang? Why are the dogs here too?"

When Yaya returned to Jadeka and Ji Xiaoge, he found that in addition to the two of them, Gavin Rad and Liadrin had also appeared here at some point, and several of them were whispering something in lowered voices.

"Mo seems to be very serious..."

Ji Xiaoge looked at Mo Tan who slowly released the hilt of his sword and saluted his opponent on the stage. He frowned slightly and said, "I feel like he is usually more calm."

Jadeka shook his head: "I think he is quite serious every time."

"I met people from the Paladin Knight Academy in the first round..."

Gavin Rad smacked his lips and shrugged: "He's just a second-year student. In terms of strength, although his perception is not very clear, the girl with the strange name is probably not as strong as Leah. Brother Mo should Be able to preserve your strength.”

Liadrin also nodded and glanced at the white-haired girl on the stage who didn't even wear a knight's armor: "I think so too. Mo should win easily."

"Well...but since just now, Wang has been feeling a little wet."

Yaya murmured in a low voice, subconsciously hugged his shoulders, raised his head and stared at the white-haired girl on the stage who curtly returned a salute to Mo Tan, and murmured worriedly in a voice that only he could hear. One sentence: "It should be... okay?"

…

[This is really a big trouble. 】

After the other party returned the salute, Mo Tan smiled bitterly and leaned forward slightly. He held the hilt of the one-handed sword [Sharp Sword: Wind Kiri] at his waist with his right hand. He stared at the expressionless Gujing in front of him with a pair of gentle and soft vertical pupils. The girl without waves said softly: "Please give me some advice."

"Please give me some advice... Well, you seem to be able to use a sword too, so it's not impossible."

As a result, Mu Xuejian actually took these words seriously. He tilted his head while tapping his lower lip and said: "How about you give me some money after the fight, and I will sell you a useful swordsmanship secret book." ?”

Mo Tan was stunned for a moment: "Huh?"

"Don't worry, it only costs 20 gold coins. You shouldn't be able to afford such cheap 'advice'."

Mu Xuejian smiled slightly, then patted his forehead: "Oh, by the way, I seem to have to prove that I can indeed 'advise' you first, and I also need to confirm whether you can be 'advised'."

"this……"

"After all, there are very few people with talent for swordsmanship. If the compatibility is too bad, even if you are willing to buy my secret book, it will be in vain."

"Uh, I see..."

The corner of Mo Tan's mouth twitched twice, and his body, which was supposed to have relaxed due to these two words of 'small talk', became more and more tense. There was no other reason for this. It was actually the sharpness on his body after the other party mentioned 'sword'. His temperament suddenly rose to a new level.

"Draw your sword."

Mu Xuejian said lightly, and then softly said 'uh'. Before Mo Tan could react, he shook his head and said softly: "I see, you have to rely on something similar to Can we use skills like 'see through' and 'see through' for defensive counterattacks? Yes, that's fine."

Mo Tan, who had been ready to attack at any time and was ready to activate [Crane Moon] in an attempt to use his backhand, suddenly froze, completely unable to understand how the other party could see this.

[Is it a detection skill or talent that can see through certain information about the target? still……】

Mo Tan began to think subconsciously.

In fact, the reason why he was able to make the almost eerily accurate guess just now was simply because Mo Tan held the hilt of the sword with his right hand.

From that moment on, at least in the field of combat, he had no secrets left in front of Mu Xuejian.

In front of Mu Xuejian's innate talent - [Sword Heart].

"Then I'll start 'teaching'."

Perhaps because of the discovery of 'potential customers', Mu Xuejian's unmotivated temperament somewhat restrained, she said with a slight smile, and then before Mo Tan could see clearly her shallow smile , the cute dimples suddenly disappeared from the former's sight.

【! ? 】

The moment Mo Tan discovered that the other party had disappeared, he was already sure that she was the [Mu Xuejian] in the rankings. At the same moment, he intuitively took a step sideways, and the long sword at his waist was instantly unsheathed. With the blessing of , he quickly completed the two actions of turning on the spot and holding the sword horizontally, narrowly and narrowly blocking the silver-white long sword nearly two meters long that suddenly appeared behind him.

The next moment, because he failed to avoid the attack, the [Waning Moon] status in Motan's status bar instantly collapsed, losing the bonuses of movement speed and attack speed.

It was obviously just a sword that had no strength and could barely even feel the touch. The sense of crisis it brought to Mo Tan was even greater than that of the epic-level powerhouse from the Viper Chamber of Commerce that he encountered in the Cassero Grassland.

[It’s not an attack, it’s not a test, you just want to put the sword on my shoulder...]

Mo Tan, who reacted belatedly, took a deep breath and took half a step back with a solemn expression.

Retreat very seriously.

"You are very powerful."

Mu Xuejian still maintained the posture with one hand stretched out flat, holding up the long sword with the snow-colored linen strap in his hand as if he could not feel the weight, and seemed a little surprised: "Really, it's amazing. "

Emphasizing her words again, she took a step forward lightly, the distance was exactly the same as the half-step that Mo Tan had just taken. Then her body suddenly swayed. She seemed to be still in the same place, but in an instant she completed a rapid advance. The main body had already dodged to the left side of Mo Tan, not only dodging the latter's unexpected vertical slash, but the long sword in his hand that should be difficult to use flexibly also 'swiped' like a long whip, gently A long, graceful arc like a decoration was left on Mo Tan's new breastplate.

"Personally... I prefer this kind of [seeing through]. Your reaction is very fast, but you are a bit too dependent on reaction. I suggest you use more caution in [anticipation]."

Mu Xuejian raised her left hand, used her delicate index finger to gently wipe the sword lying in front of her, and showed a harmless smile to Mo Tan: "Then, is there anything else you want to be 'taught' by? ?"

…

Dead silence

Whether it is Mo Tan standing in front of Mu Xuejian, or the onlookers who are paying attention to the Diesel delegation and the students of the Paladin Academy, or Marla, Gavin Rad, Jadeka, Ji Xiaoge, Yaya, Liadrin and others all lost their ability to think at this moment.

Although the two of them only passed less than three moves, no matter how blind the eyes were, they would not fail to notice that Mo Tan seemed to be at an absolute disadvantage at this moment, and the second student from the Holy Spear Academy with long white hair could not miss it. The senior students are...

"Easy...with more than enough..."

Jadeka struggled to express everyone's thoughts.

"This girl is indeed a high-level one."

Dean Marla, who quietly appeared next to everyone at some point, stared wide-eyed and said word by word: "But her move... I can't understand it, although I can definitely defeat her, and I won't even be affected by it. A little bit of hurt, but I still kind of don’t understand.”

Liadrin clenched her fists tightly and her face turned pale: "How is this possible?"

"The good news is that we have probably found the trump card of the Paladin Knight Academy."

Gavin Ladd gave a bitter laugh, his voice also a little dry: "The bad news is that our trump card, Brother Mo, hit someone in the first round."

Although Ji Xiaoge couldn't understand it, it still didn't stop her from realizing that the situation was not optimistic like everyone else, so she murmured in a low voice: "It would be great if Wang Badan was brought here, then Mo can exert his full strength. ”

Gavin Rudd let out a feeble sigh: "It's my fault."

"Do not blame you."

Jadeka shook his head, looked up at Mu Xuejian's gentle smile, and said word by word: "I doubt that even if Mo can exert his full strength, he will not be a match for that girl."

"Woof!"

Ya Ya suddenly jumped on the spot, then patted the shoulders of Jadeka and Ji Xiaoge hard, grinning and said: "Wang believes in Mo Wang! Mo Wang likes to surprise Wang the most!"

…

[It seems that I can’t win. 】

On the stage, Mo Wang, who liked to surprise people the most, sighed softly in his heart, but he did not lose his fighting spirit and desire to win. After a brief silence, he raised his hand and threw a wave at Mu Xuejian who was close at hand. [Fei Kong Slash] swung the angry red sharp sword energy straight towards the latter's slender snow-white neck.

It wasn't that he had murderous intentions, but Mo Tan knew very well that the girl named Mu Xuejian in front of him would never be killed by an attack of this magnitude. In fact, she would probably not even be injured.

But at least it will react!

As long as you react, there are patterns to follow. As long as you can catch the patterns, you may be able to find flaws!

Mo Tan thought so.

It's a pity that Mu Xuejian didn't react at all, and looked at the arc-shaped light slashing towards him quickly as if he wanted to die.

A second later, until the referee in the audience could hardly bear to take action, the 'reaction' Mo Tan wanted to see finally came.

But it was not Mu Xuejian, but her long sword that suddenly broke away from its owner's palm, drew a light semicircle in mid-air, and directly shattered the [Scarlet Slash].

The girl with snow-white hair stood there with empty hands.

And her sword stood firmly in the air in front of her, hovering quietly.

"Long-range sword move?"

Mu Xuejian blinked and said casually: "In addition to speed, it would be better if there are some changes?"

After saying that, she raised her right hand, her index finger and middle finger gently came together, and pointed at Mo Tan lightly——

[Immortal Sword Ao Shenzhou]

The next moment, a huge sword light with a diameter of more than three meters and surrounded by clouds roared out and stabbed straight into Mo Tan's chest.

! ! !

Mo Tan, whose mind was blank, immediately jumped up on the spot subconsciously and avoided it in an instant...

"No, I guessed wrong."

Mu Xuejian shook his head and raised his delicate hands.

Dozens of simple and condensed sword shadows rose into the sky, directly swallowing Mo Tan's figure in mid-air——

[Sword Qi rushes into the sky]!
