Arknights is too real, right?

the next day.

The sun is shining brightly, the sky is blue, and the winter sun makes people feel extra warm.

In the center of the Royal Academy, with the iconic clock tower as the center, the venue for this fencing competition has been completed.

A total of eight arenas have been built in the venue, and the group matches will be held simultaneously on the eight arenas. The supporting facilities near the venue are complete, including audience seats, referee stands, player rest areas, emergency medical areas, etc.

According to the rules, players must sign an agreement when registering, which is commonly known as a life and death certificate. If an injury or death occurs during the competition, the official will provide monetary compensation. Otherwise, no further liability can be pursued.

Of course, intentional homicide is strictly prohibited during competition. If an opponent dies accidentally, although he will not be held criminally responsible, he will be immediately disqualified from the competition.

As for the conditions for winning, the rules are the same as for all arena games. As long as one of the three conditions is met, it is considered a victory.

The differences are: the opponent voluntarily admits defeat, the opponent falls off the ring, and the opponent loses the ability to move.

Sitting in the rest room, Xia Feng read the competition rules carefully.

The rules clearly state that players can only use swords as weapons, and the referee will check whether the weapons comply with the regulations before going on the field.

In other words, you cannot go up with an Originium blunderbuss shaped like a long knife. This is against the rules. Your weapon must be a cold weapon and cannot deviate from the category of swords.

Of course, this is not harsh for the players. The saber is the standard equipment of the Victorian army, and the civilians also use swords as their main weapons. It is generally believed that swords are the most versatile weapon under the same strength.

Even if you are relatively non-mainstream and insist on practicing trident, nunchaku, etc., swordsmanship does not require too high a threshold. To put it bluntly, swordsmanship is the basic skill of a warrior.

There were many players sitting in the lounge at this time. After reading the detailed rules, Xia Feng looked at Turtle and Ifrit.

"You guys are just going through the motions in this competition. When it's your turn to take the stage, you will admit defeat. Do you hear me?"

Turtle nodded obediently.

"knew."

Ansel and Aguang's sister Qiancai also nodded. These little guys didn't know how to fight. Qiancai was even wearing a skirt.

Only Ifrit stiffened her neck.

"What? You want me to surrender without fighting? Impossible, I will blow their heads off."

Xia Feng pulled Ifrit to his side and said in a low voice.

"Didn't you learn how to read? Look, the rules say you can't use Origin Stone skills. What the hell are you doing?"

Ifrit looked menacing.

"Of course I know. I'm still very strong even without the Origin Stone skills. Now I've defeated all the invincible opponents in the junior high school."

Just as Xia Feng was about to say something else, a strange and sinister voice suddenly came from the side.

"Who did I think it was? Why, are you crazy about money? Even the Boy Scouts are invited to participate in the competition?"

Xia Feng turned his head when he heard the sound, and Master Kahn's face appeared in his sight.

Compared to the last time I saw him, Kahn seemed much more haggard. It seemed that proactively admitting that he went to Fengyue Field had a great impact on him.

Xia Feng has no feelings for Kahn now. Although he is a level 1 noble, in his opinion, Kahn is no longer a threat.

"Hey, isn't this the romantic young master, Mr. Kahn?"

Hearing this title, Kahn's face instantly darkened. This touched his sore spot, and in the final analysis, the reason why he received special attention from the investigation team was all because of Xia Feng.

Kahn breathed out heavily, his face full of hostility.

"Xia Feng, you are dead."

This lackluster threat made Xia Feng frown a little.

"What do you mean, you want to kill me too? I am most afraid of death. I'd better call the police first."

Kahn obviously wasn't here to argue. He looked past Turtle and the others and glanced at Franka and the others behind Xia Feng.

"I checked, and it seems that you have hired a lot of helpers this time. It seems that the bumpkin also wants to become a noble."

Xia Feng breathed a sigh of relief.

"Ham, you told me earlier, I thought you were going to assassinate me, but it turns out it's about the competition."

Kahn took a few steps closer.

"Xia Feng, you'd better pray that you are killed in advance, otherwise you will die miserably."

"Oh? Did Master Kahn also sign up?"

If Kahn also signed up, Xia Feng would definitely take off this guy's pants in the ring, but unfortunately, Kahn's answer was that he would not participate in person.

Kahn hugged his shoulders with a look of contempt on his face.

"How could I participate in such a despicable fight? In the eyes of me and my family, you are nothing but insects."

Kahn's tone was extremely arrogant. Before Xia Feng could speak, Ifrit next to him jumped up immediately.

"Who do you think is a bug? You must be tired of living."

As he spoke, Ifrit took two steps forward and kicked his leg.

This girl Ifrit looked thin, and her strength was not small, but she was not strong enough to cripple someone with just one kick, so Xia Feng did not stop her.

Just as this kick was about to hit Kahn's calf, suddenly, a figure flashed out from behind Kahn, so fast that even Xia Feng didn't see it clearly.

Ifrit's kick was already in the air, and the man stretched out his palm like lightning and grabbed Ifrit's neck.

"Snapped!"

A crisp sound came, and the palm was slapped away by another old hand.

Before anyone could react, Xiao Yunye had already protected Ifrit with one hand and blocked the man's hand with the other.

After realizing what happened, Aguang directly rolled up his sleeves, pointed at Kahn's nose and cursed.

"Damn, you still dare to do it, don't you? I'm going to break off your teeth today!"

Kahn was also a little shocked.

"That stinky girl did it first!"

Xia Feng didn't say anything, but a drop of cold sweat had already seeped out on his forehead, and his fists were clenched tightly.

The man's movements were too fast for him to react in his normal state. If Xiao Yunye hadn't taken action in time, he would have almost lured out the black and white twins to save Ifrit.

After swallowing his saliva, Xia Feng saw clearly the face of the man whose hand was blocked by Master Xiao.

This man was wearing smart clothes and was no longer young. He looked about forty years old. His hair was tied back and a slender knife hung on his waist.

This person's dress does not look like a Victorian, but has an oriental feel. Of course, the most important thing is the look in his eyes.

Not fierce, not gloomy, not angry, not arrogant.

After Xiao Yunye pulled Ifrit back, he gently shook his head at Xia Feng.

Xia Feng squinted his eyes.

"Aguang, forget it, the helper Master Kahn has found looks very powerful, let's meet on the field."

Kahn glared at Xia Feng fiercely, and then said in a deep voice to the mysterious swordsman beside him.

"Mr. Dong Zhan, remember the appearance of this group of people. Don't let anyone go on the field."

Ah, it’s even later today and I fell asleep.
