Chapter 876: The essence of human combat techniques?
4th of July, country of will, Bailin city.
After having his breakfast, Jiang Xiao returned to his room to tidy up. He looked at the weapons that were neatly placed in the corner of the clothes rack in the living room and could not help but fall into deep thought.
If nothing unexpected happened, the main weapon of the great Meng Empireâs bow God, hai Rigu, would be the great Meng horn bow. The tip of the bow was thick, and the bowstring pad was also exaggeratedly large.
This weapon had its advantages and disadvantages, but in any case, it showed hai Riguâs âinformalâ character and his very mature archery skills.
With the development of society today, there were many kinds of bows, and they were easier to use. However, hai Rigu still followed the tradition of his own people and played with the bow and arrow of his own people.
Hai Riguâs main weapon was the DA Meng horn bow, but his secondary weapon was a long spear with a hook at the neck.
It was obvious that this special hook was meant for the enemyâs warhorses.
Hai Rigu had a warhorse astral pet. Of course, astral pets could not be used in the world Cup.
Otherwise, Jiang Xiao would have smashed it with the humming whale âŚ
Hai Rigu also had a STAR technique that could summon warhorses, which he could use.
Of course, whether hai Rigu could use it or not still depended on whether Jiang Xiao would allow him to use it.
Jiang Xiao walked to the corner of the clothes rack and picked up his heavenly halberd after some thought.
Since he wanted to pursue excitement, he would carry it out to the end~
Jiang Xiao tied the dagger to his leg, picked up the heavenly halberd, and walked out of the hotel.
âYa, pipi? You âŚâ At the entrance of the hotel on the first floor, a group of students lined up neatly, waiting for the arrangement of the national team to send them to different stadiums.
Jiang Xiao was still alone in the competition and was arranged to compete in the largest stadium in Bailin city. It was obvious that the organizers knew what to do to bring them the most benefits.
It was different from the previous World Cup jointly organized by kimchi and Japan. This world Cup had a total of eight cities to host the competition. For the Chinese teams, the team competition was set in muhei market and the individual competition was set in Bailin city, but the venue would be adjusted. The sports industry in the will country was developing very well, and there were enough competition venues of all sizes.
As for Jiang Xiao, who was the champion, he had even decided on the venue for the competition.
âGod Pi.â Jiang Xiao toot to himself and said to Yi qingchen.
âHehe.â Yi qingchen smiled with a tinge of gentleness and shyness. He looked at the heavy and long halberd in Jiang Xiaoâs hands curiously and asked,âdid you learn a new skill again?â
âAh, I think this roundâs opponent is pretty good. Heâs also a fighter. Itâs hard to find a good opponent, with a bow and a spear.â Jiang Xiao chuckled and said,âIâm going to take this opportunity to give a performance to all the men in China.â
âYeah, thatâs true.â Beside them, Zheng xiyou shook her short hair and ran her fingers through her hair.âIf we were to meet a rules awakened, weâd be killed with a single stab. Thereâd be no point in fighting.â
Jiang Xiao felt rather helpless. This female soldier ⌠He was even more confident than himself.
On the other side, the leader walked over with a stack of papers. Looking at the name list above, he raised his head and said,ââGet on the bus. Jiang xiaopi, Wu Haoyang, and ethereal, the three of you will take this minibus. Youâll be on the same journey.â
When leader Gong Juren saw the weapon in Jiang Xiaoâs hand, he couldnât help but be slightly stunned.ââWhereâs your saber?â
Jiang Xiao waved his hand and said,ââI, Jiang Fengxian, have no reason to use a saber.â
Liu Yang moved closer to Jiang Xiao and whispered,ââThat ⌠Lu Buâs reputation isnât that good, is it?â
âUh âŚâ Jiang Xiao scratched his head and said,âthen âŚ. Jiang Rengui?â
âHmph,â he snorted. Wu Haoyang snorted and said,âyou know quite a lot.â
âShut up, you.â Jiang Xiao looked at Wu Haoyang and saw the Green Dragon Crescent Blade in his hand. He retorted,âthe three of you canât even defeat me. Why are you still wasting your breath?â
âIf thatâs the case, Iâm the one who killed your wife, Diao Chan,â Wu Haoyang said faintly.
Jiang Xiao raised his eyebrows and retorted,âwhat do you know? my Diao Chanâs soul has left her body. Sheâs already stripped you of your clothes, let alone your weapons!â What do you have to kill him?â
Wu Haoyang was speechless.
âQuickly get in the car! Get in the car!â The team leader, Gong Juren, hollered angrily and pushed Jiang Xiao towards the car.
âThe boy is not good enough.â Jiang Xiao shook his head and sighed. He then recited a poem and left.âThe red dress is dancing, and the swallow is flying. A cloud is flying to the art Hall âŚâ
The minibus slowly drove out of the hotel. Twenty minutes later, Jiang Xiao, as the only student to compete in the Bailin Olympic Stadium, was the first to get off the bus.
As the car started moving, Wu Haoyang, who was still in the car, suddenly got up and knocked on the window, attracting Jiang Xiaoâs attention.
Jiang Xiao turned around and looked at Wu Haoyang in confusion.
Wu Haoyang looked at Jiang Xiao with a smile and made a âraise your hand and slash your swordâ gesture.
Jiang Xiao was speechless.
The team leader, Gong Juren, hurriedly put his arm around Jiang Xiaoâs shoulder and pushed him forward.ââDo you see the reporters on both sides? Youâre now representing the countryâs image!â
Behind him, the two assistant instructors were carrying large and small bags that contained Jiang Xiaoâs weapons. Not only did they have to work as coolies, but they also had to be bodyguards to escort Jiang Xiao all the way into the stadium.
âYangma TV station! Yangma TV station! Hello, everyone! Today was July 4th, 2019. This was the Olympic sports arena established in Bailin city, the country of will! Iâm your host, Qian baiwan!â
A womanâs voice came from the side. âIâm the host, ye Xunyang. â
Qian baiwan: âwe will be hosting five games here today. Our Chinaâs national team, xiaopi Jiang, will be playing in the second round. Please wait and see.â
âYes, there are still many matches today. Unfortunately, due to the tight schedule for this world Cup, we can only choose a few matches to present to everyone. If you want to see the other players of the national team play, you are welcome to log in âŚâ
At the same time, in the locker room, the two assistant instructors were still explaining hai Riguâs personal characteristics to Jiang Xiao and formulating battle tactics with him.
On the side, Gong Juren walked over and said,âYou really donât want to use the giant blade? Donât be overconfident, even an Eagle would use its full strength when hunting a rabbit, not to mention that the other party is not a rabbit. â
Jiang Xiao nodded and said,âhe uses a bow and a spear. The heavenly halberd is very suitable for me. Iâve also adjusted my weapon according to my opponent. Donât worry, coach Gong. Iâve put in a lot of effort into the halberd.â
âYes, sure.â Looking at Jiang Xiaoâs determined look, Gong Juren nodded and bent down to open the two huge bags, revealing a variety of weapons inside.âBows, daggers, short blades, giant blades âŚ
Gong Juren: âthis is all given to you by the national team. Think about it. You can play later.â
âMm âŚâ Jiang Xiao nodded in agreement. However, he heard the shouts from the television on the wall in the distance. The channel was, of course, broadcasted by the local hosts of the will nation. They were speaking in English, which Jiang Xiao could understand.
âContestant from the Sulan region of the kingdom of sun never sets, referee andre Phil, has defeated his opponent in just 57 seconds! He advanced to the third round with a strong momentum!â
Amidst the excited shouts, Jiang Xiao saw a handsome young man from the kingdom of sun never sets on the television.
At this moment, andre Phil was raising the two-handed greatsword in his hand high up in the air. The flame patterns were like thin snakes, winding around the wide greatsword, spiraling up and straight into the sky.
As the flames swirled up, the audience cheered.
âAndre Phil, a heavy cavalry,â Gong Juren said.âIt seems that he has won the competition before he can even summon his warhorse.â
Gong Juren then turned to look at Jiang Xiao and said,ââYour next competitor is also a fierce cavalryman. Be careful.â
Jiang Xiao picked up the heavenly halberd beside him and touched the cold Crescent Blade of the halberd with one hand. He then plucked the red tassels hanging above and said,ââWeâll do it!â
Half an hour later, the players on both sides went on stage to warm up.
The National coaching staff carried Jiang Xiaoâs weapon and took their seats on the bench.
âTheyâre coming! The Chinese teamâs Jiang xiaopi had finally appeared! I seem to have seen something incredible. â Qian baiwan looked at the screen in front of the table curiously. Then, he stuck his head out from behind the screen, stood up, and looked down at the green field.
âThat seems to be a heavenly halberd?â Ye Xunyang asked curiously,âis this the weapon that contestant Jiang xiaopi specially changed to use against the contestant from the great Meng Empire? Or is this just a smokescreen?â
âContestant hai Rigu has crossed the line! Contestant hai Rigu has crossed the boundary!â Qian baiwan suddenly asked,âwhat is he doing? This is just a warm-up. Itâs not the pre-match exchange segment yet!â
Ye Xunyang frowned slightly and said,âhai Rigu looked very friendly. He walked over to shake hands.â
Jiang Xiao was dressed in the national team uniform and was stretching when he saw the burly man walking towards him from afar.
Their gazes swept past the brawny man and looked at the bench in the distance. The coaches of the great Meng Empire didnât seem to have any intention of stopping him.
The other side did not move, and the coaching team headed by Gong Juren was even more motionless.
Jiang Xiao stood up curiously and looked at the mighty man who came in front of him. He then reached out and grabbed the manâs rough hand.
It was warm, strong, and slightly rough.
Jiang Xiao could give him a free SPA treatment and wash his hands with holy light.
Hai Rigu had a pair of Red Phoenix eyes. His hair was light-colored, his forehead was wide, and his cheekbones were prominent. Since he was a college student, he should be under 24 years old. However, he had a beard that was neither long nor short, making his face look very rough.
âIâve been longing for this battle,âhai Rigu said.
Jiang Xiao nodded. He was speaking Chinese, but his accent was a little strange.
Hai Rigu lowered his head slightly and looked at Jiang Xiao.ââIn my hometown, my companions call you the âessence of human combat skillsâ.â
âUh âŚâ Jiang Xiao scratched his head and suddenly didnât know what to say.
Jiang Xiao was very good at provoking and bickering with others, but âŚ
Hai Rigu said,âour country is different from other countries. Weâve always paid attention to our own combat skills. Weâve always looked down on the use of star techniques.â
Your appearance has dispelled many doubts in our country. For this, please allow me to offer you my highest respect. â
âYouâre welcome, youâre welcome. â Jiang Xiao tried to be humble and subconsciously wanted to wave his hand, but the other partyâs rough hand was very tight, and Jiang Xiao couldnât pull his hand out.
âI noticed that you brought a halberd.â Hai Rigu continued.
âYes.â Jiang Xiao nodded.
âFor you, Iâve specially changed to my hometownâs da Meng scimitar for this match. I didnât expect you to have a halberd. Is your adjustment because Iâm using a spear?â
Jiang Xiao thought for a while and nodded.ââItâs like this,â
âAlright,â he said. Hai Rigu laughed heartily and said,âthen Iâll exchange for the spear and experience your halberd skills.â
Jiang Xiao grinned and said,âI know how to use star techniques. I wonât just compete with you.â
âOf course.â Hai Rigu held Jiang Xiaoâs hand tightly and said,âgive me a hearty battle and donât hold back. Thank you.â
After saying that, hai Rigu turned around and left. That tall and mighty figure seemed to have a special rhythm as he strode forward.
Jiang Xiao couldnât help but Marvel in his heart. Such an impressive opponent was really worth fighting.
âThe pre-match communication between the two sides seemed to be very friendly,â Qian baiwan said.âIâm really curious about what they said.â
Ye Xunyang smiled and said,âJiang xiaopi is not an ordinary player. As the champion of the last World Cup, he has fans all over the world. Perhaps hai Rigu also worships our God Pi?â
âEh? There seemed to be a familiar figure in the camera. This is âŚâ Qian baiwan was stunned. He stared at the screen on the table and said,âisnât this Juliet, the plant-type mage of the kingdom of sun never sets, who participated in the last World Cup?â
Ye Xunyang was also stunned. He looked at Julietâs noble and charming face on the screen. Most importantly, the right side of Julietâs face was painted with the red flag of Huaxia.
In the first game, andre Phil was a player from Sulan, the kingdom of sun never sets, and the paint on Julietâs face was the Chinese flag?
Qian baiwan stammered a little, but he adjusted himself in time.âXian ⌠Obviously, Juliet has a good personal relationship with Jiang xiaopi, and sheâs probably here to cheer him on. â
Ye Xunyang didnât mention the competition or the students. She smiled and said,âJiang xiaopi has already noticed Juliet. Old friends are greeting each other.â
In the front row of the stands, Juliet pushed aside her slightly curly blond hair and tucked it behind her ear. She then revealed her right cheek to Jiang Xiao and waved at him with a smile.
Jiang Xiao was also a little dumbfounded. He subconsciously cupped his fists and greeted Juliet.
The sharp-eyed Jiang Xiao also saw the figure wearing sunglasses and a mask beside Juliet.
He wouldnât have known if he didnât look, but he was shocked when he did.
Isnât that the second Princess, Sophia?
This pair of best friends had formed a team to travel to will country?
Jiang Xiao denied his speculation and thought to himself, these two are busy people, especially Sophia. Due to her identity, her actions are obviously âlimited.â Since she chose to come here in disguise, Iâm afraid there must be some special circumstances.
Could it be related to him? Could it be related to the North Atlantic?
The more Jiang Xiao thought about it, the more excited he became. Did Princess Sophia obtain some secret information or find some special dimensional space? Was she here to catch the mercenaries and accompany her to the sea?
If that was the case, that would be great. The humming whale had been holding back for a long time!
