Lord of Arcane

Chapter 1352 A Great Victory in the Swordsmanship Showdown
It is definitely impossible for Xia Duo to agree to this kind of competition, at least not in the name of elf magic and Nether magic, so he said:

"Maybe you already think you can represent elf magic, but I can't represent Nether magic. Such a duel is meaningless."

"Are you afraid?" The golden elf mage immediately replied.

Then, he wanted to continue shouting, but he seemed to have received some kind of order, his body trembled suddenly, his lips moved, and he remained silent for a long time.

When Xia Duo saw this, he probably understood something. Ye Erlan was really lost if he challenged himself with this kind of thing, but at this time, he couldn't easily let the other party go.

Flipping his hand, an elf-style long sword appeared in Xia Duo's hand. He pointed at the golden elf mage opposite, and shouted:

"Swordsmanship duel, or get back to your position!"

Xia Duo was still a young man, and he was at the banquet, so he could indulge a little bit. Hearing his reverse challenge, the golden elf mage immediately agreed as if listening to fairy music:
"Okay, sword fight!"

In the eyes of ordinary humans or elves, humans are not good at swordsmanship. The main reason is that swordsmanship is more focused on skills. Because human life is too short, there is not so much time for long-term training like elves.

Especially a senior arcanist whose age is obvious.

But compared to swordsmanship, no matter winning or losing, it is good for all parties. After all, swordsmanship defaults to elven swordsmanship. It is not said that because humans win, they are hostile to him. Humans also use elven swordsmanship, so they should be happy.

……

At the same time that Xia Duo proposed the swordsmanship duel, he also received a message from Iolum, "You really don't need to compete with him in swordsmanship. If he wants a magic duel, he can do it. No amount of gossip can hurt your strength." We have nothing!"

But the promise has already been agreed, and Iolum also wants Xia Duo to give up the competition, but to provide Xia Duo with the information about the Yerlan mage named "Fries" from Irfaran. Part of the information——

The senior mage is also proficient in swordsmanship, and his swordsmanship style is changing, which can often catch opponents by surprise. He has the reputation of "Master of Swordsmanship" in Yeerlan.

Although this kind of reputation may have some bonuses from senior mages, it should not be underestimated.

In this regard, Xia Duo held his sword and bowed to the cloud seat of the onlookers above, and paused for a second deliberately in the direction of Iolum to express his deep gratitude.

After that, he signaled the start of the battle to Ferris with the most commonly used sword-holding ceremony in ancient swordsmanship duels. It's a pity that the guy in front of him is so shallow that he can't even recognize the ancient sword-holding ceremony, let alone what to do in return up.

It's just that the sword-holding ceremony itself has a tendency to initiate a fight. Even if Ferris doesn't understand the meaning behind this, he still knows that Xia Duo is about to attack.

So he hurriedly cast a spell to get back the long sword that was inserted in front of Xia Duo before, but is now far away from him because of the change of venue, and then took the initiative to attack with the sword.

……

As if hearing the sighs of the onlookers above, Xia Duo also sighed silently. He raised his sword to meet the opponent's attack, swirling, stirring, one person and one elf staggered past.

Afterwards, Ferris attacked again, but Xia Duo easily resolved it like a walk in the woods. The so-called swordsmanship, no matter how many bells and whistles, was ultimately implemented at the actual level, it was just the movement trajectory of the tip and blade of the sword.

The human body, including the body of an elf, has limits, so swordsmanship also has limits. Although Xia Duo cannot penetrate the limit, driven by his powerful body after the awakening of blood, he can always beat slow with speed and break through the void with reality.

As long as you make sure that the movement trajectory of the opponent's sword tip and blade does not touch your own vital points, no matter how many times the opponent launches an attack, it will be of no avail.

After several rounds of fighting, Ferris' breath has become a little disordered, but Xia Duo is still calm and composed.

If the fight continues, Ferris' defeat is almost a foregone conclusion. After losing to a human in a swordsmanship duel, Ferris can almost imagine what kind of criticism he will encounter when he returns to China.

Thinking that the two sides had only agreed on a swordsmanship duel before the competition, but did not agree on the specific details, Ferris gritted his teeth and decided to take the risk.

Of course, at the beginning of cheating, Ferris still had a tentative heart, as long as the big man above didn't make a sound to stop, as long as the other party didn't raise any objection, then there was no doubt that it could continue.

……

On the other side, when Xia Duo saw the opponent's sword tip begin to glow with magical aura, he knew that the opponent had lost.

Generally speaking, spells can indeed be used in sword fights between elves, but for humans, spellcasting requires concentration, and it is almost impossible to cast spells during a sword fight. (You can use instant spells stored in the magic net)
It is impossible for Ferris to not know this, otherwise, he has been using spells from the beginning.

Normal humans and elves fight swordsmanship duels, they only compete with swordsmanship. In addition to showing fairness, there is another important factor, that is, humans who can generally compete with elves in swordsmanship duels are usually not mages.

This allowed Ferris to find a loophole.

It's a pity that Xia Duo is not an ordinary human being. In addition to receiving swordsinger training in the projection plane, he also has a relatively in-depth grasp of elf magic.

To him, this situation was completely a small situation, but he didn't want to let the opponent end easily. There was still a big difference between casting spells and not casting spells to win.

……

As the opponent's sword body has already brought up the wind blade, Xia Duo knew that he had to fight quickly. If the opponent even used the Sword Singer's [Space Leap], it would be almost impossible for him to take it down without casting a spell. the other party.

Thinking in this way, Xia Duo immediately activated the magic-breaking ability of [Blade of Negation], and a circular field was born out of thin air at the tip of the sword, like an umbrella.

While eliminating all the wind blades brought up by the opponent, it also disrupted the rhythm of the opponent. Ferris probably did not expect that there was a standard long sword of an ancient elf swordsinger in Xia Duo's hand, which appeared in the field of breaking spells In an instant, he even stopped breathing for a moment.

If he had known earlier that he was fighting against the real master Jianyong, he would not have made such a show at all.

Next, Xia Duo decisively seized the gap between Ferris's brief absence, quickly moved to the opponent's right hand side holding the sword, and stabbed the opponent's defensive blind spot due to the limitation of his body structure.

When Ferris reacted and wanted to retreat to distance himself, Xia Duo bullied him again, the tip of his sword never leaving the opponent's defensive blind spot, neither attacking nor retreating, like a prick on the back.

It didn't feel good to be threatened like this. After almost a few seconds, Ferris could no longer bear such a threat and teleported away.

At this time, the Elder Evereska who gave the speech before the banquet first announced: "The victory and defeat have been divided, and the banquet continues!"

The duel venue where the clouds were scattered was suddenly covered by the swarming clouds. Xia Duo saluted in all directions with his sword, and then returned to his seat, accepting everyone's praise calmly.
