Volume 1: This is a world that speaks with weapons Chapter 43: Rapid Adaptation
At 8:30 in the evening, Qin Zijin got out of the car and accompanied Qi Ji to the downstairs of Zangfeng’s headquarters.
There is no need to elaborate on the details of the dinner with Qin Zijin. Although Qi Ji was moved, he vaguely realized that this beauty was too deliberate in her attitude towards making friends , so he remained alert until he found out her purpose.
"The top eight will be decided tomorrow." Qin Zijin said with a smile in the evening breeze.
Qi Ji also smiled and said, "Yes, do you have confidence?"
Qin Zijin nodded gently: "As long as I don't run into you and Bai Tianhe."
Qi Ji laughed: "So are the two of us that scary?"
Qin Zijin rolled her eyes at him and said in a pleasant voice like a phoenix singing and a phoenix blowing: "Master Qi, please have some self-awareness. Right now, you are the most outrageous person in the military world in terms of our group."
She stretched out her slender hand and counted her slender white fingers: "Born with supernatural powers, weapon killer, dignity destroyer, from zero to at least professional fifth dan in half a year, the fastest promotion record in the rookie competition... I can't count them all."
She looked at Qi Ji as if she was looking at a sun, and her eyes seemed to reflect the stars.
"Qi Ji, you are really strong."
…
After bidding farewell to Qin Zijin, Qi Ji quickly went up to the training floor and found that Zhang Zizai and two sparring partners had also arrived early.
Zhang Ziyi was surprised to see Qi Ji: "I didn't expect that you have such self-control, Qi boy. Why did you come back early?"
Today, in order to make a dinner appointment, I asked for leave from this Mr. Zhang, but he found out that I was going on a date with a woman, and he gave me a good scolding.
Qi Ji rolled his eyes: "I'll be back when it's over. Training is the most important thing."
"Oh, right." Qi Ji suddenly remembered and asked, "How was the game today?"
Zhang Zizai said calmly: "As you expected, Bai Tianhe basically used two swords in each round, and defeated his opponent in two rounds in total. He was cool and free, and gave people the impression that he was a little stronger than you."
After hearing this, Qi Ji touched his chin and said, " Why is this guy so arrogant? Does he think this style is still popular now?"
Zhang Zizai laughed and scolded, "You're the only one who doesn't pretend, right? You're more ruthless than anyone else. Now people on the Internet are saying that you're the best in this rookie competition!"
The two sparring partners next to them, Li Linqing and Huang Yunfei, couldn't help but laugh when they heard it. It was obvious that Qi Ji's reputation on the Internet was indeed very good.
While putting on his protective gear, Qi Ji asked, "What do you mean by 'forced king'? I'm just telling the truth. By the way, the top 16 are all out today. Have you interviewed them all?"
Zhang Zizai chuckled and replied, "Except for Bai Tianhe and Qin Zijin who left right after the competition, everyone else was interviewed. Guess what someone said."
Hehe, I don’t know about the Sword Saint’s disciple, but the one walking in the Sword Pavilion was leading me away anyway.
Qi Ji supported Zhang Zizai: "What's wrong? Is it related to me?"
Zhang Zizai laughed slyly, "I won't talk about others, but Fang Hanxing from Tianxing said that you were grandstanding and hoped to have a chance to fight you. It's clear that he wants to replace your position as the King of Forces."
Qi Ji looked surprised and didn't quite believe what Zhang Zizai said. He turned to look at the two sparring partners.
Li Linqing also laughed and replied, "Although the words like sensationalism were made up by Zhang Qiduan, the meaning is pretty much the same."
Challenging me by name?
Qi Ji touched his chin. Does Fang Hanxing fail to see my strength or does he have no idea of himself?
Don't let me see you! I'll send you back to study for another two years in no time.
After a while, they put on their protective gear. Zhang Zizai took out a small Miao knife and handed it to Qi Ji: "Here, it's the knife you said you wanted today."
During the day, Qi Ji took the time to talk to Zhang Zizai and asked him to help find a weapon similar to the Miao Dao in the tower. Zhang Zizai took it to heart and found it for him tonight.
Qi Ji took the weapon and felt that its weight was the same as the one he got from the Tower of Transcendence, both were light and fluttery. He couldn't help but ask Zhang Zizai: "Old Zhang, you know I'm very strong. These knives are a bit too light for me. Can you customize a heavier weapon?"
Zhang Zizai scratched his head. "Of course you can, but it can only be used for daily practice. For competitions, there are usually rules for the shape and weight of a weapon. For example, a short weapon cannot be longer than 1.3 meters, and cannot weigh more than 2.5 kilograms."
Qi Ji thought for a moment, and said to Zhang Zizai, "Then, Old Zhang, please make me a new sword, like this Miao Dao or my current straight sword. Follow the rules of the regular competition, and make it as long as possible and as heavy as possible."
Zhang Zizai: "Okay, no problem. There is a knife maker directly under the headquarters. If it's fast, it can be made for you in three days, if it's slow, it can be made for you in a week. I'll make you both a straight knife and a Miao knife."
After the chat, Qi Ji and the two sparring partners started the one-on-two special training again.
In the first round, since there had been a whole day, Qi Ji didn't seem to find it right away, and his performance was even worse than the last round yesterday.
In the second round, that sense of adaptation gradually began to emerge again. During the one-minute-long siege by the two people, Qi Ji occasionally had a sudden inspiration two or three times, and was able to successfully block the simultaneous attacks of two people for two to three seconds in a row.
However, that sense of adaptation was sometimes effective and sometimes not. For example, the number of successful blocks in the third round was almost zero.
In the fourth round, fatigue accumulated and the attack speed of the two sparring partners and Qi Ji decreased. Although Qi Ji's physical fitness far surpassed the two due to the factor of transcendence, he was fighting one against two, and the physical strength he consumed was also far more than the two.
But in the eyes of Zhang Zizai who was watching, Qi Ji's performance in this round was extremely terrifying.
In the fourth round, when both sides slowed down, there were three times in the one-minute attack and defense time when he seemed to have suddenly awakened and defended smoothly for a full seven or eight seconds.
What is the concept?
He still remembered what he said to Qi Ji when he explained the essence of double kill more than half a month ago.
It's impossible for a person to use two swords in one attack?
Isn’t Qi Ji’s current behavior a slap in his face?
This is not a one-on-two situation in actual combat. If it is an actual combat where he can move, Zhang Zizai can use guerrilla warfare to fight five or even ten people at once.
But if he were to stand still and rely on his reaction speed to defend against two five-stage attacks at the same time!
Zhang Zizai would always weigh in his mind whether he could do it.
This kind of talent, this kind of reaction and sharpness, is simply a monster!
The more Zhang Zizai thought about it, the happier he felt. He couldn't help but smile like a chrysanthemum. After all, a genius with extraordinary talent was now on his side. What could be more satisfying than this?
Qi Ji had entered the fifth round of special training.
This time, the three men's strength was almost exhausted, and their sword movements became even slower.
So, in the horrified eyes of Li Linqing and Huang Yunfei, as soon as the fight started, most of the sieges launched by their combined attack were defended by Qi Ji in a slightly embarrassed manner. Only a few times when the two of them attacked almost at the same time, Qi Ji was unable to defend against attacks from two directions at the same time and was hit.
Is this guy still human? Is he a monster?
The two sparring partners were shocked and had similar thoughts.
After the fifth round, Qi Ji frowned and said, "Although I seem to have performed much better in this round, the physical strength of the three of us has dropped too much, and the effect of training has not been achieved..."
