Cataclysm King

 Chapter 456 Ji Xun’s cool moves caught everyone’s waist

“I think our Count Raphael Knights are not bad, so why is our trial evaluation only B? Humph! I want to see how good the reserve knights recruited by Duke Langdon’s Palace this year are!”

"Don't tell me, that team may be really capable. You see, there is not only a lizard guy in the team, but also a dwarf with mythical bloodline who has an innate advantage over us in the Katu stage. Not to mention S-class , the strength of A-level evaluation is still there.”

"That was when Duke Langdon founded the country in the Old World. The Lizard Tribe and the Mountain Dwarf Tribe saw opportunities and wanted to invest in the long term. Hey, nouveau riche! They relied on this external advantage. I want to take a look. The elite knights of the Red Dragon Royal Family are quite capable.”

"."

Although the people who can sit in the auditorium are all nobles, there are still differences in levels.

Sark, the young master of the Duke's family, is still one level behind the princes and princesses of the three kingdoms.

What's more, the promotion of the "Fourth Kingdom" has made the Langdon family a target of public criticism.

So when he heard that others wanted to challenge his own escort, although Sak's expression was not very good, he was completely helpless.

What's more, the establishment of the Langdon family this year has indeed caused a lot of hatred.

The new students in the auditorium gloated one by one and swarmed to the trial ground.

Everyone wanted to see the Duke Langdon's team defeated.

On the other side, Ji Xun and the other six were putting on equipment and discussing tactics in the preparation room of the trial ground.

There were five people receiving the award, but the actual team number was six.

They also know very well that without David, the entire team is like a dagger without a tip, and its combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced.

Since they are a six-person team here, the Red Dragon Royal Family Group over there also agreed to six people versus six people.

In this way, Ji Xunji truly gained the confidence to fight.

Since it is a competition between students, of course, we must try our best to ensure fairness.

The Royal Academy has prepared sufficient training equipment for the students.

The room is filled with various weapons, armors, and basic spell cards.

The two teams that are about to start in a while can only wear and use the equipment provided by these colleges.

Ji Xun and the other six people thought it was a good thing.

When it comes to equipment, Duke Langdon's Palace is not bad, but there is still a gap between it and the three major royal families.

Especially some relic-level equipment and mystery cards.

If there are no restrictions, it will not be a contest of strength, but a contest of family wealth.

Gang Duoduo is wearing a set of heavy armor that he chose.

The armor is very simple and does not have many incantations engraved on it.

But the thickness of this basic armor is directly proportional to its defensive power.

This has a natural advantage for the dwarves.

He picked the heaviest one and wore it easily.

While Gale was choosing his leather armor and dagger, David had no need for equipment and was sitting cross-legged to gather energy.

Ji Xun and Seri were choosing suitable spell cards.

[Fire Bomb], [Quicksand], [Air Explosion Bomb], [Flash], [Acid Splash] are all entry-level cards.

There are a lot of them, covering almost all basic spells that can be seen on the market.

The Royal Academy has a lot of money, so you can take these cards as long as you can use them.

Ji Xun also picked with great interest.

After all, some of these cards have never even been seen by him. They are practical spells that have been optimized by the dragonborn card masters of the Southern Continent over the years.

The only sound in the room was the rustling of people putting on equipment.

Although several teammates were not afraid of the upcoming battle, they were a little uneasy in their hearts.

The strength of the Red Dragon Royal Family's knights is obvious to all, and they are definitely the best among the best.

Although Ji Xun and the other six people could get rewards even if they lost, they still couldn't lose face after all.

Not only them, but also Young Master Sack's instructions.

Gang Duoduo was outspoken. He put on his horned helmet and asked at the same time: "Su Lun, Seri, you two have smarter brains than us. How do you think we should fight?"

As soon as these words came out, several other people looked at Ji Xun and Seri.

These days when we get along, there are only two people in the team who make the decisions.

Seri was holding a staff to try out the effect of magic energy gathering. After listening to the inquiry, he casually said: "It is difficult to win. Our opponent, the Red Dragon Guard Group, is the reserve knight group of the 'Golden Sun Group' , both in terms of selection and training, they are the best in the army, and they all have actual combat experience on the battlefield, and their strength cannot be underestimated."

At this statement, everyone frowned.

The Golden Sun Knights are the direct descendants of the Red Dragon Royal Family, and their strength is gained through fierce battles.

Even a reserve knight is one of the elites selected from a million.

No one will doubt their strength.

But even so, a few people didn't want to lose.

Seri thought for a while, expressed his thoughts, and said: "Everyone in that team is as strong as us. I think our only chance of winning lies with David."

As he said that, he turned to look at David, who was cross-legged to gather energy, and said: "Your boxing technique has the ability to hurt the second level. As long as you can seriously injure one or two and break the opponent's formation, we have hope."

This is indeed the only possible chance of victory that everyone thinks of.

But there are also monsters in the Red Dragon Royal Knights, and even David Qiang is not really that much stronger.

Zhuo Sha thought of something, frowned, and said, "But... could the Red Dragon Royal Family know David's strength and deliberately arrange targeted tactics?"

Hearing this, Ji Xun, who had been silent until now, spoke.

He chuckled: "Even if they didn't know it before, I think they might know it now."

"Yeah. I think so too."

When he said this, Seri also looked sternly.

If the opponent doesn't know David's strength, it is really possible for them to use tactics to succeed.

But if you know it, it will be difficult once you are targeted.

The competition, which suddenly felt a little hopeful, reached a deadlock again because of this sentence.

No one thought of a better way to deal with it.

But looking at Ji Xun's always calm expression, Seri asked again: "Su Lun, do you have a better tactic?"

Ji Xun didn't care about winning or losing, but he was really interested in the reward.

You can always give it a try.

He raised the corner of his mouth slightly and said, "I have a plan. If it works out, I have a high probability of winning. But if I really win, my reputation may not be very good."

Upon hearing this, Seri's expression became strange, and he vaguely guessed that this "plan" might be a bit special.

But Gang Duoduo patted his chest and said excitedly: "As long as you can win! If you really want to be on the battlefield, who cares what tactics you use."

There is a training ground in the Royal Academy specifically for students to practice battles.

After all, the academy not only teaches extraordinary knowledge, but also marches and forms formations.

Many of the students here will be generals and senior officers leading troops in the future, and they need some venues to simulate actual combat.

Not long after, the Dongyi training ground was filled with spectators.

Not only this year's students, but also many instructors from the college came.

Many people are curious about what happened to the only "S-level" evaluation team among the freshmen this year.

The 13th Reserve Knights of the Red Dragon Royal Family, representing all the new students who were dissatisfied, entered the training ground first.

As Ji Xun expected, they had just obtained secret information about Duke Langdon's mansion from other nobles.

Learned some details about Sark's previous assassination.

Therefore, their attitude towards the Langdon family team changed from being dismissive to being prepared for it.

Along the way, the black-robed witch captain was still reminding: "You guys, be careful. The intelligence says that the slave is very powerful. His weird qigong skills can easily pierce armor. Even if it's Kevin, you have to be careful. You must not let him." He found an opportunity."

Hearing this, the heavily armored knight in the team nodded: "Yes."

The black-robed witch captain added: "I suspect those guys might use that slave to perform the 'wing-clipping tactic'. So Quinn, you and Willy must keep an eye on him throughout the whole process!"

At this point, the other two men in martial arts uniforms, who looked like they were also fighters, also responded: "Okay!"

One of them said disdainfully: "I've heard of that boxing style, it's called [Ba Fist]. There was an old guy from the Eastern Wasteland who was rampant in various martial arts gyms for a while. But in the end he was beaten by my teacher Suppressed. The punches are powerful, but the shortcomings are also very obvious. Anyone who does not understand the boxing method is simply reckless and needs the support of Qigong cultivation, so the slave is just a disciple. No matter how powerful he is, don’t worry, Captain, I can restrain him with [Jiyi Pou Feng].”

It's not that this person is arrogant, but that the Southern Continent has the complete heritage of many top fighters.

This trainee knight named Willy is the direct disciple of Kyokushin-ryu.

Not just him, almost everyone in their team is a leader in various professional sequences.

Even if you know your opponent is strong, you still have the confidence to win.

This is the confidence that family inheritance brings to them.

"Hey, the opening ceremony hasn't been so lively for a long time."

"Young people need to be a little energetic. But having said that, which team do you think will win?"

"The team from the Red Dragon Royal Family. Although the team from Duke Langdon's Palace is also good, after all, it was a team that was formed only a month ago, so the tacit understanding will always be worse."

"I'm more optimistic about the boys from the Langdon family. I read the trial report before. Although I didn't see how those guys fought, but they can survive in the hands of second-level assassins, which is no longer a problem. The disciples can do it. Besides, the lizards are natural wizards, and the dwarves are the best warriors. Their individual qualities are not worse than those of the dragonborn. And the slave is also very good in qigong."

"But having said that, in every turbulent situation, some amazing people will always appear. I don't know what amazing people will appear among these young people in the future."

"Oh, look, people are coming."

"."

While waiting for the two teams to enter, the students were whispering to each other in the audience, judging the upcoming battle.

Even the tutors at the college were chatting with interest.

At this moment, Ji Xun and six others also entered the scene.

Ji Xun and the other six people did not enter the venue after being arranged, but they heard the cheers outside and were late on purpose.

As he walked, Ji Xun was still arranging tactics: "We will try our best to contain the melee combatants in their team later, and then David, try your best to kill the opponent's magic system first. I heard that the witch is the captain, concentrate your firepower." Kill him first."

This is a very standard "wing-clipping tactic".

Control the opponent's thick-skinned melee card masters and kill the crispy magic masters.

In this way, it is like a bird with broken wings, and the remaining people are left to be slaughtered.

However, Ji Xun was talking about tactics, and he didn't seem to notice it at all. He had already taken a vantage point in the distance, and the six members of the Red Dragon Royal Family who were waiting for them to come out were staring at them eagerly.

Among them, the witch captain, who was wearing a black robe and had a totem on his face, with piercing pupils, was staring at Ji Xun's lips with all his concentration.

The distance was too far, and ordinary people couldn't hear what the six Langdon family members were discussing.

But the witch used lip-reading skills and clearly "heard" their tactical arrangements.

After hearing Ji Xun's arrangement clearly, the witch captain raised the corners of her mouth slightly and said confidently in her heart: "Hey, is it really a wing-clipping tactic?"

Just as I expected.

She is less likely to doubt it subjectively.

After all, this is the most reasonable tactic that she can think of that her opponent can use at the moment, and the only one with a chance of winning.

However, the facts are surprising.

the other side.

What came out of Ji Xun's lips was completely different from the conversation the team members heard: "This is a desert terrain, which is good for us. Stealth can be easily targeted. Follow plan B later. Zhuosha, you can be used as bait." '.The opponent will definitely attack, David, don't attack, you first kill the guy who comes to sneak attack."

This tactic is not a wing-clipping tactic, but a luring enemy tactic!

In order to be absolutely fair and to test the comprehensive ability of the students, the terrain of the trial field is random.

Only after they come out will they see the environment.

This is the foundation of the Royal Academy, which can create different combat environments at will, such as forests, deserts, swamps, and waters.

Rao knew that Ji Xun could ventriloquism, but seeing him say one thing and hearing another, Gang Duoduo's thoughts were a little weird.

It wasn't until they heard the complete plan that they realized that "Su Lun" already knew the opponent well.

In his own words, "In such a famous team, those people are all very strong knights, and I happened to know some of their methods."

right!

That's right!

Ji Xun had carefully observed everyone in the auditorium before.

Of course, those teams that got "A+" had special observations.

Not surprisingly, these people will all be strong men in the future.

Coincidentally, the members of the Red Dragon Royal Family are so famous that their inheritance is even more famous.

Ji Xun had heard about it early.

After seeing the surnames of several people, he had a pretty good guess about their inherited families and their abilities.

He happened to know the mysterious inheritance of the witch captain.

Not only is he proficient in animal language, he is also proficient in lip reading.

So from the very beginning, he was scheming against his opponent.

This simple tactic may not be able to hide from high-level card masters, but it is completely enough to deal with the scheming of a group of teenagers who are only thirteen or fourteen years old.

However, several of Gang Duoduo's teammates are also teenagers.

When they first heard about the three ABC plans in the lounge, they were shocked.

Can a duel still be played like this?

They originally planned to fight with all their strength after taking the stage, and the outcome would depend on fate.

Unexpectedly, the duel has already begun from the entrance.

And that plan B

It’s also hard to describe. Sister Zhuo Sha and lizard man Seri, who are "baits", have complex and resentful expressions.

Who calls them two crispy-skinned people?

Originally they were supposed to be the main force in dealing output and ensuring logistics, but now, they are just decoys.

Anyway.

Gang Duoduo and others felt that they would never have thought of such a tactic.

Both teams entered the venue, and the audience's emotions rose.

The waves of cheers were almost all cheering for the team of the Red Dragon Royal Family.

After all, no matter how you look at it, the momentum of the six Red Dragons is stronger than the other crooked team.

However, Ji Xun's methods could be hidden from his opponents, but not from the instructors on the stage.

One of the old men with a white beard looked at "Su Lun" who seemed to be arranging tactics at odd hours, and seemed to have discovered something. He couldn't help but smile and sighed: "Interesting, interesting little guy."

The young instructor beside him had not yet reacted, "Ah, Dean Di, what do you see?"

Whitebeard is the deputy dean of the School of Art. He is proficient in sound waves. Only then did he see the trick and explained: "That kid is really clever. The words coming out of his mouth are different from the sound waves vibrating in the air. It should be He used some kind of secret technique to mislead his opponent. Hey, that little witch from the Hobbes family may suffer a loss this time."

"It's true!"

At this statement, several younger mentors around him were all shocked.

Only then did they realize that the Langdon family team had already started plotting against each other before even entering the ring?

This surprised the instructors, but they also suddenly understood why this team received an "S-level evaluation."

The training ground is very large, about the size of four or five football fields.

Ji Xun watched helplessly as such a large place slowly turned into a desert ruins.

The stone slabs under their feet also turned into soft sand, and some broken boulders appeared in the field of vision, which could be used as shelter.

This is the luxury of aristocrats. Using enchantments to change the environment on a large scale is an advanced means of using elements.

One energy consumption may cost an average person a lifetime salary.

Standing on the sand, the referee was still explaining the rules.

Roughly speaking, there are no restrictions, but you cannot use any "equipment" other than those distributed by the academy.

Ji Xun and the other six were on alert.

Two hundred meters away, six other people were also staring at them closely.

When the eyes of both parties touch each other, it seems that intense sparks will fly out.

In the team, the teammates could not hide their nervousness, but Ji Xun looked normal.

When he saw these people, he immediately entered the deduction state.

The outcome of this battle is unknown to others.

But for Ji Xun, the decision was made from the moment he stood opposite the six members of the Red Dragon Royal Family.

Lines of deductions appeared in his mind. No matter which leg his opponent took first or which spell card he used, he was already calculating.

"hey-hey."

Ji Xun saw the surrounding environment and had already determined the last uncertain factor.

Therefore, in his eyes, the outcome is already determined.

Just as he was thinking about it, the referee suddenly disappeared in the middle of the field and shouted at the same time: "The competition begins!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the six members of the Langdon family and the six members of the Red Dragon royal family almost made the same move.

The magic systems of both sides released [Smoke Technique] and [Storm Technique] almost at the same time.

In an instant, the entire site was covered in gray fog and yellow sand, and visual perception was suddenly restricted.

The twelve people each followed the tactics discussed by the previous team and disappeared on the spot.

"Hey, these guys from the Langdon family reacted quickly enough, and they actually thought of the same tactics as the Red Dragon."

"In this desert environment, interfering with vision is indeed the best way. However, if they have good perception methods, it will be difficult for them to attack effectively. Those guys from the Langdon family are in trouble. Quinn of the Red Dragon team is the 'Dragon' The Eagle Family's scouts' vision is not so easily limited."

"Yes. I think this duel will soon be decided."

"Look, both of them seem to be using the 'feather clipping tactics'! Hey, what's interesting is that just the team's tactical reaction, the plans of the Langdon family are at least A-level."

"Yes. It's the same tactic. It depends on the commandos on both sides. Whoever can get rid of the other party's fragile profession first will win more than half."

"."

The academy trial ground has a special perspective barrier.

Even if the venue is filled with yellow sand, the audience can still see blurry figures through the barrier.

The new students saw people on both sides of the battle touching each other, and they all thought it was a feather-shearing tactic.

In their view, this tactic is purely a head-to-head competition of strength.

However.

At the instructor's table, several high-level card masters saw this opening, and their eyes instantly became stunning and surprised.

As soon as the battle started, for masters of their level, they could already see the end.

An old man with a white beard lamented in a fit of laughter and tears: "I didn't expect them to use this tactic. Hey, it's over."

"Yes. This tactic is not very clever. But it just feels outrageous. How did these guys come up with this tactic? If they really win with this method, I'm afraid they will be gossiped about."

"It's true that he has a quick mind. But a competition is a competition, and it really comes down to the battlefield. This is why these guys from the Langdon family are better."

"Indeed! The following tactics are used to lure the enemy, and the above ones are used to capture them. This tactic of taking them by surprise seems simple, but no matter what angle you look at it, it is the best choice. But... it is just to use your teammates as bait. Well, it is probably a shady person. Only a guy can figure it out.”

"."

Several other instructors also discussed this.

In addition to being amazed, it is still amazing.

Ever since they sat here, they never expected to see this scene.

Recalling the ventriloquism before taking the stage, the entire tactic was suddenly clear to them.

There were also some intern instructors and a few old students around the instructors. They didn't understand why the top experts in the academy would come to such a conclusion.

However, the next second, they saw that the outcome was decided.

In the trial ground, the sky is filled with yellow sand.

The storm and smoke have completely restricted visual perception, reaching the point where you can't even see your fingers.

However, in the Red Dragon Royal Family, the young man named Quinn had eyes as sharp as an eagle. He clearly saw two figures rushing over in the dim yellow sand, and immediately reminded his teammates: "They are coming!"

This was exactly what they had expected. The opponent planned to take advantage of the environment to assassinate the back row immediately.

Listen to the "pop, pop, pop" sound in the air.

No need to think about it, it is the qigong master slave.

There is also a ghostly figure, who must be the assassin.

As an elite, he still has this ability to judge.

Since they have known for a long time that their opponent is back, it is certainly impossible for the Red Dragon Royal Family to let the opponent succeed.

The witch captain who stayed behind had already used the substitution technique, and Quinn and Willy were waiting for them!

One can absolutely perceive, and the other can restrain the qigong master.

There is absolutely no chance of a successful sneak attack by the opponent.

As long as they persist for a moment, their dual-assassin lineup will be enough to take out the opponent's fragile profession!

However, looking at the two figures in the yellow sand, the four red dragons who stayed in place were already ready to fight.

In the blink of an eye, I was surprised to find that the other party stopped?

What's the meaning?

If you don't take advantage of the opportunity now to touch on the melee system, then what are you waiting for?

The four witches thought it was some kind of tactic.

However, knowing how powerful the qigong master slave was, they did not dare to break the entrenched formation of the four of them rashly.

"Quinn, what's going on?"

"I don't know. Those two guys are hiding behind the rock. Do we want it?"

"Wait a minute. There may be a conspiracy."

"."

The battle went on like this, forcibly suspended for a few breaths.

However, just because of this strange confrontation, things suddenly changed dramatically.

Without warning, a scream came from the distance.

"Be careful of sneak attacks!"

"ah!"

"Damn it! Why is that guy here!"

"."

After a few breaths, only the muffled sound of the blaster was heard, and the screams were silenced.

Only then did the four people who stood firm in the Red Dragon position realize that the battle over there had already occurred.

The ones who screamed were the two assassins in their team!

"What's going on? Something happened to Ke Sen and Xili?"

The four of them were stunned.

For a moment, they didn't understand what was happening.

The two assassins in his team are elites. Even if the assassination is unsuccessful, at least they can advance or retreat without hindrance.

However, listening to the scream just now, it seems that it was calculated?

"No! We were tricked, and the slave didn't come over at all!"

After recognizing the special explosion of the Qigong punch in the battle just now, the Witch Captain finally realized: they had been plotted.

Another person still hadn't figured out why there were two qigong masters in the opponent's team, and questioned: "But. Of the two people who rushed over just now, it's obvious..."

The witch rolled her eyes, already thinking about something, and said angrily: "Damn it! That guy used [Qi Explosion Technique] to simulate the Qigong Master's Takong, and we were deceived!"

The normal wing-clipping tactic is that the opponent's qigong masters and assassins will come over to attack their magic system.

But in fact, the qigong master didn't move at all.

An unknown guy came to attract their attention!

No wonder the two guys stopped moving when they got close. It turned out that they had no intention of coming over to confront them head-on.

Just "bait"!

But now it's too late to figure it out.

The situation of the duel changes rapidly.

If the opponent takes action, it means that the two assassins in his team are in danger.

Just now it was six versus six!

Now it's four versus six!

The advantage is no longer on the side of the Red Dragon Royal Family.

The Witch Captain's face darkened and she cursed in her heart, but she was extremely decisive and immediately changed her tactics: "Quick! Let's rush up and kill those two guys first!"

When she thought about it, the other party killed two of her teammates.

Then if they kill the two "baits" as soon as possible, the numerical gap will be closed immediately.

And since the qigong master is not around, the bait is not much of a threat.

However, the facts once again disappointed the Red Dragons.

They could think of it, how could Ji Xun not think of it?

The bait was none other than Ji Xun and Gale.

By the time they rushed up, Gale had already run away.

Although you may not be able to run away, you can at least be entangled for a while.

Ji Xun himself was a legal card disciple and knew he couldn't escape, but he still managed to disappear.

"The assassin has escaped. Quinn, go chase him!"

"The other guy is missing!"

"No, that guy sank into the quicksand."

"Damn! What a despicable method!"

"."

While waiting for the four red dragons to rush up, they were refreshed in a new world by Ji's "sand-sinking tactic".

There was no sound in the sand, but Ji Xun could still feel the sound of the angrily trampling on the sand dunes.

If the other party wants to kill him, that's fine.

But it takes time.

This little delay was enough for David and his men to come in for reinforcements.

At this moment, the audience stage was completely silent.

Countless pairs of eyes were watching the two teams fighting in the duel field.

However, instead of seeing the fierce battle that was expected, we saw such a bizarre and strange scene.

Everyone, whether instructor or student, was stunned.
