C18 Competition
"What? "For me? This Xuanloong Twin Blades? "Are you prepared to gift this sky-high weapon to me?"
Xu Zhitian's entire body was trembling. He wasn't afraid. He had never dreamed that this stall owner would give him the Xuanloong Twin Blades. To Xu Zhitian, he didn't even dare to think about taking the Xuanloong Twin Blades for himself. Because this weapon was too advanced, Xu Zhitian felt that with his current condition, he would be able to take it for himself. Not worth it.
"Hehehe ~ Young man, listen carefully. I'm talking about a competition between us. If you can defeat me, then this Xuanloong Twin Blades can be given to you. Otherwise, you can only use your eyes to take a look!"
The vendor raised the brim of his hat slightly and revealed his nose, as if he was waiting for Xu Zhitian's reply.
Actually, Xu Zhitian heard everything the vendor said. He did not shrink back either. What was there to be afraid of in a competition? It was not like he was going to lose his life anyway. Xu Zhitian still had a feeling that he was lucky. If he was blind and ran into a dead rat, He held the Xuanloong Twin Blades in his hand. Xu Zhitian felt that he could travel the entire Game World by relying on this weapon. And dealing with those bandits was a piece of cake!
"Okay, I agree to the competition!" Xu Zhitian said.
"Hahaha ~ Good boy, you have guts! Then let's go!"
As he spoke, the vendor spat out the leaves in his mouth and stood up, ready to take Xu Zhitian away from the crowd.
Xu Zhitian understood the stall owner's intention. This was a market with a large number of people. A competition must not be held in a place like this. Otherwise, he would not be able to guarantee that innocent people would be harmed if he made a move.
"Wait a minute, expert. Your stall hasn't been cleaned up yet..."
Xu Zhitian did not know how to address him, so he could only temporarily call him "expert." Because those who could obtain medicinal Xuanloong Twin Bladess were definitely not ordinary people.
"No need, they are all worthless things! Just follow me."
The stall owner walked in front without turning his head. Xu Zhitian followed closely behind. The two of them quickly walked out of the bustling market. They turned a corner and arrived at a quiet open space.
This open space was round and about fifteen meters in diameter. The entire area was illuminated by the golden sunlight, like a huge round disk that was pressed to the ground. There was a thick willow tree on each side, and it was summer. The slender willow branches were still fluttering in the absence of wind. They stood on the four sides of the clearing like soldiers on duty. Xu Zhitian felt an unknown mysterious force permeating the area.
"Kid, this place was specially created for practicing martial arts. The surrounding willow trees were also planted by me. I'll get tired after a while. " Let's go and rest under the willow tree! "Actually, the content of the competition was very simple. It was not limited to one round. Before the sun set, as long as you can knock off the straw hat on top of my head, you win. "This Xuanloong Twin Blades will be given to you. What do you think?"
"It's... that simple? You just need to knock off that straw hat?
Xu Zhitian opened his eyes wide in disbelief. He even began to suspect that the stall owner wasn't sincere about competing with him, but was up to something else.
As a result, the conversation between Xu Zhitian and the system began again.
"Lord System, do you think I should accept his challenge? He felt that there was something wrong with the man in front of him. After all, if it were me, I would never give my hard-earned weapon to someone else, let alone a competition. Even if someone bought it at a high price, I wouldn't necessarily sell it!"
"A master's idea, you little novice character naturally doesn't understand. However, as a higher grade system, I have 30% distrust towards this person's methods. The Xuanloong Twin Blades is a divine artifact in this world, ordinary people would not possess it. If he can fulfill his promise and give it to you, then... It's not like you're here. "Dreams are my dreams."
"System, I can tell that the first half of your sentence is to beat around the bush and boast about yourself. The second half is to say that you do not believe that I can obtain the Xuanloong Twin Blades no matter what, right? I'll tell you. " I have to take this weapon. Isn't it just to knock off the straw hat on his head? Just you wait and see! "
"Call me Lord System, or I will ignore you!"
Xu Zhitian ignored the system and turned his attention back to the stall owner. The stall owner was still standing in the same spot. The corner of his mouth was slightly raised, revealing a mysterious smile. He held the Xuanloong Twin Blades in his hand, as if he wanted to use this divine weapon to compete with Xu Zhitian, who was holding the iron sword.
"Stop!" The stall owner said again.
"Alright, then I won't be polite!"
Xu Zhitian shouted to cheer himself on. Then, he raised his iron sword and dashed forward to cut the straw hat on the head of the stall owner. Because this was not a real battle, Xu Zhitian used the back of his sword. At least, he would not hurt anyone.
Just as the iron sword was about to touch the straw hat, the stall owner's figure suddenly became blurry. In the next second, he disappeared into thin air. By the time Xu Zhitian reacted, he had already swung the sword and the stall owner had disappeared.
"Where did he run off to?"
Xu Zhitian frowned as he searched. Suddenly, he heard a voice from behind him.
"You are too slow. You need to work harder!"
Xu Zhitian suddenly turned his head. Sure enough, the stall owner, who had disappeared into thin air just now, appeared behind him again. Furthermore, he came up with a sarcastic remark, claiming that Xu Zhitian's speed was too slow.
Could it be that he would teleport in an instant?
Xu Zhitian thought to himself. He raised his sword and prepared to launch another attack when the stall owner was unprepared. However, the result was almost exactly the same as the last time. The stall owner disappeared into thin air when they were about to make contact with each other. Then, he appeared behind Xu Zhitian.
"Package, store your weapon, iron sword, and take out your weapon, wooden sword!"
Xu Zhitian did not forget to change the weapon. He planned to use the wooden sword to compete with the stall owner. After all, the wooden sword was different from the iron sword. Even if it hit his body, it would not cause any serious damage. In terms of safety, it would be better than the iron sword.
"Let me tell you the truth. Don't think that I can move in an instant. That thing is too old-fashioned. It can't be compared with my God's speed!" The vendor laughed.
"God's Speed? Could it be that you didn't disappear out of thin air, but your speed is already so fast that it can't be seen with the naked eye?" Xu Zhitian said in surprise.
"That's what I meant. Come on, you don't have much time left. " If you keep using this turtle speed to compete with me, it's meaningless. "
The sun was lower than before. Previously, the sunlight could only illuminate half of the empty space. The rest were all shadows. Xu Zhitian was standing at the intersection of the sun and shadows. Half of his body was in the sun, and the other half was in the shadows.
It was like his current mood. Previously, it was the sun. Now, when he found out that the stall owner was as fast as the wind, Xu Zhitian's mood, which was originally full of sunlight, was largely blocked by the shadows.
Sure enough, things weren't as simple as he had imagined. It seemed like he didn't deserve the Xuanloong Twin Bladess either.
Xu Zhitian had a thought of giving up...
