"Oh! Look! William, a freeman from the town of Niyah, has chosen to fight without armor. Let us cheer for his courage! "
Not only were there referees for the meticulously prepared quarter-finals, but there were also a few loudmouthed commentators.
At this moment, the commentator said in a comical tone like a clown, "Oh Gods, I think I'm looking at the legendary Mad Knight Shawtag who charged at the Sea Demon Giant alone!"
Boos could be heard from the stage.
Many citizens shouted and roared in anger, venting the dissatisfaction in their hearts.
To them, William, who had no defense, was no match for Burt. William had made them pay for the tickets for nothing, but there was no exciting match in return.
"Young Burt from the Tower family … I seem to remember him!"
On the spectator stand, the Earl of Blue Mountain smiled. "Looks like today is his lucky day! He has met such an opponent. "
"I agree with you!"
Viscount Casia also smiled. "Young Burt's skills are considered outstanding among the knights. As long as he goes through the baptism, he will definitely become a loyal and brave true knight!"
Immediately after, he seemed to have noticed something and looked at the old man in a cloth robe beside him. "Archbishop, you seem to have a different opinion?"
"Only the Lord can decide who will obtain glory. We are just mortals, what can we see?"
The archbishop spoke in a profound manner, causing Casia to frown.
In all fairness, he was even more wary of the Church than the Earl of Blue Mountain, especially after the Church had brazenly sent Aradeline to participate in the tournament!
Casia did not doubt that the Church and the Earl of Blue Mountain had come to some secret agreement and cooperation to jointly resist him.
'A bunch of stupid blue-blooded people! They don't even know their true enemy … '
Casia was very helpless about this. He could only sigh in his heart, unable to say it out loud.
If he said it out loud, the Earl of Blue Mountain would not believe him. He had a premonition that things would continue to develop in a worse direction.
"Hmm … There are many people around, it's very lively!"
On the battlefield, Wu Ming rode on a black horse, holding a knight's spear that was close to five meters long.
But unlike the tin can knight, he only wore a cotton shirt, and his flaxen hair swayed in the wind. He looked rather good, causing many noble ladies to speed up their fanning motions.
"If he's not an idiot, then he's an extremely terrifying fellow!"
The other contestants all had solemn expressions. Adrian stared at the center of the square without blinking. "Because we don't have armor to defend us, we can't afford to make any mistakes. Even if we are brushed by the opponent, we can be seriously injured!"
"How about we make a bet?"
Beside him, a handsome man smiled and said, "I bet 100 Gold Delons on William's victory!"
"What? Could it be that the Heart of Wild Wolf has information about this William? Alfred? "
The seeded players at the side immediately had a guess. "Or did they fight during a mission?"
"It's starting!"
Alfred did not reply. He only crossed his arms and carefully observed the changes in the square.
Lu lu!
After circling around a few times, the two knights heard the order to start from the Count's Platform, and almost at the same time, they launched a charge.
The two horses seemed to have turned into the wind. They spread their hooves and ran at an incredible speed. They left behind afterimages and were about to collide in the center of the square.
"Now's the time!"
Wu Ming raised his spear forward. His amazing senses allowed him to accurately grasp the spear's mass, length, center of gravity … as if it had become an extension of his arm, a part of his body.
In Shen Wu world's martial arts, this was only a small technique to use a weapon — — [Spear Man]! Because it didn't require the use of inner Qi, it was very strange, so Wu Ming memorized it.
And after spending so much time in this world, he was finally able to recreate a bit of it.
Whoosh!
The two horses got closer and closer, the tips of the spears were aligned.
Bang!
As soon as the two spears touched, Wu Ming immediately knew everything about his opponent through the reaction of the spear.
Burt's strength, consumption, center of gravity, everything clearly appeared in Wu Ming's mind.
He curled his right hand, and the spear spun in a spiral with a strange force. Burt cried out in surprise, and the spear in his hand was directly swept away. He felt as if he had lost his center of gravity, and he felt empty and uncomfortable.
Then, a sharp pain came from his lower abdomen. He was sent flying high into the air, then fell to the ground.
"What?"
Everything happened too quickly. On the stands, the Earl of Blue Mountain and Viscount Garcia stood up in surprise, then rubbed their eyes.
From what they remembered, the two knights only clashed with their spears, but Knight Burt's spear was knocked away by William's spear.
"Confirmed that Knight Burt has lost his ability to fight, winner — — William!"
The referee ordered someone to step forward and check on Burt's injuries, only to see a bloody hole in his lower abdomen. Even his armor couldn't stop the power of the spear's thrust. The referee shook his head and loudly announced.
The spectator stands were silent, and soon after, enthusiastic cheers could be heard.
Reversal!
The crowd was raging, shouting William's name, completely different from before!
"That thrust just now!"
Aradeline's expression was solemn, recalling William's ordinary thrust just now, cold sweat appeared on his forehead.
He couldn't see the secret behind it, only knowing that Knight William had mastered a terrifying thrust technique that could kill a Knight Squire that was close to a Knight's strength.
Looking at Burt, who was being carried off the stage, and hearing the enthusiastic cheers, Wu Ming appeared rather calm.
He only looked at Burt, who was on the verge of death, in silence.
Because Burt's strength was similar to his, he didn't hold back. The design of the Knight's spear was originally designed to deal the greatest damage.
Once he charged, with the material of the spear and the strength of a Knight, even a Knight's armor wouldn't be able to stop him!
Even in my previous world, when hooligans fought with knives, they mainly slashed, only injuring but not killing … The scariest thing is to meet a hothead who doesn't know anything, stabbing his internal organs with a knife. Even a deity wouldn't be able to save him!
Now that he was in a different world where strength was everything, battles and knights were all about killing each other. Naturally, the easiest way to kill would be the best.
Looking at Burt's injuries, Wu Ming knew that even if he could keep his life, he wouldn't be able to become a Knight for the rest of his life. He might not even be a match for a normal person.
"He's a powerful fellow, I hope I won't have to fight him in the second round!"
Alfreid smiled elegantly, ordering his two subordinates to help him put on his armor. "Of course, there's also you, honorable Honorable Knight!"
After the hurried cleaning of the arena, the horn for the second battle had already sounded …
…
"Today's battle will only decide the top four. Tomorrow is the true battle for the championship!"
Wu Ming didn't have to go through the trouble of taking off his armor, and easily blended into the stands. He then paid attention to Alfreid's match.
This fellow had a handsome face, and looked a little like a trap. However, there was no need to doubt his strength. He defeated his opponent as if he was toying with him, and even politely greeted the noble ladies on the stands. This caused the widows and young ladies to scream continuously, and a group of men to roll their eyes at him with enmity.
On the other hand, Aradeline was a fellow who truly abided by the rules of a Knight. He fit Wu Ming's impression of a Knight from his previous world — rigid, courteous, courageous, and somewhat conservative.
"Not only have these two been baptized as Knights, but they're also incomparably rich in skills and experience … Even a genuine Knight like Takur would lose miserably against them!"
Wu Ming pondered as he walked. "But for me, they're not much of a threat!"
All-round and balanced training meant that he was well-rounded and had no shortcomings. Coupled with his experience in several worlds, it would be strange if he lost.
He walked on the street and bought two meat pies. The fragrant pies had the tempting smell of meat sauce, and they were sprinkled with chopped onions and pepper. It was very appetizing.
Although the price was not cheap, Wu Ming immediately bought two and ate them slowly.
Based on his experience, the enjoyment in this world was only slightly better than that in Japan. One could imagine how terrible it was.
Perhaps the nobles had all sorts of unimaginable luxuries, but for a commoner like him, some of the restrictions of his identity could not be eliminated with a little bit of means.
"After the competition, I can bring Beatrice here to have a taste …"
He thought to himself.
Ever since the registration, Wu Ming had hidden Beatrice outside the city and left some dry food for her.
Presumably, that little girl was gnawing on the hard black bread every day, and who knew how much she was complaining about her master.
"Hmm? Someone's following me? "
After turning a few more streets, Wu Ming's keen senses immediately allowed him to discover his pursuers.
His expression did not change as he turned into a dark alley and turned around indifferently. "Come out. Can a rat in a smelly ditch hide from the eyes of an eagle?"
"Dear Mister William!"
A guy in a black cloak walked out and spread his hands, indicating that he had no weapons on him. "I have no ill intentions, and … how can I touch the top four of the competition alone?"
"Your purpose?"
Wu Ming's expression was cold as he asked directly.
"My master wants to see you!"
The man went straight to the point. "As long as you go and meet him, Mister, my master is willing to pay a hundred Gold Delong for this, or something of equal value!"
"Is it about tomorrow's competition?"
Wu Ming said, "Sure! Take me to see it! "
Obviously, this stalker did not expect things to go so smoothly. He was slightly stunned for a moment before hurriedly leading the way.
