Preparation (2)

Elry leapt forward and brandished his sword, but was easily blocked by the soldiers. He loaded his sword and attacked again, and now the attack made the soldiers take a few steps back.

Elry channeled mana into his sword, as soon as his sword shone, he attacked again, the Soldier no longer resisted Elry's attack, and instead avoided it.

"He doesn't dare to have a sword fight with me!?" Elry muttered.

Seeing the slightest chance, Elry continued to attack with the mana fluctuations in his sword.

The soldier dodged and counterattacked, he used the blunt part of his sword and attacked Elry's waist. The attack knocked Elry down.

Even with that attack, Elry was still able to stand up but the mana fluctuation in his sword disappeared.

"This difference in strength is huge" Erly muttered.

Elry again used his sword and attacked the soldier, he attacked the left side of the soldier's face.

The soldier ducked his head to avoid the attack, and at that moment Elry did a kick using his knee, but the soldier was still able to block it.

"His mana control is decent, he can channel mana into his sword, and his fighting ability is also decent, but his attack power and defense are very low" Robin observed from the seats provided at the top of the royal square.

Feeling unable to defeat the soldier, Elry chose to surrender.

" I give up " Elry dropped his sword.

the match was immediately stopped.

Elry came down from the altar.

One by one the participants went up and fought the soldiers, until it was Chrono's turn.

He went up to the altar and chose his opponent.

Chrono a uses a spear as his weapon.

"Start!" Huo.

Chrono took the horses, as did the opposing soldiers. A few seconds passed, neither of them attacked.

Because of that, the opposing soldier took the first initiative. He ran towards Chrono and attacked him with his sword, Chrono turned his spear and attacked the soldier's hand. The soldier dropped his weapon, Chrono brandished his spear and stopped before hitting the soldier's neck.

The match is short, Chrono bagging victory against one of the soldiers.

While the council was very amazed to see Chrono's movement.

"Unusual technique, he takes advantage of the spear's range." Indra who was also a spear wielder was satisfied.

"Isn't Chova city a city that focuses on trade, I don't know if there are martial artists from that city" Zhuge li held his beard.

Albert just looked with an even expression at Chrono.

"He must have had a great teacher." Elkov smiled at him.

The match ended and was won by Chrono. Huo again called out the name of the next participant, and the next.

Even though Erkov could put up a fierce fight against the soldiers, he still ended up losing.

Now it's Ranmaru's turn.

This is a unique match, as Ranmaru uses a bow as his weapon. As is well known, arrows are the most disadvantaged weapon in one-on-one, despite their wide range, they should also be dodged or restrained easily.

Ranmaru went up and chose his opponent. the opponent he chose was a soldier who used fists as his main weapon.

"Isn't he too brave, deadly Samurai?" Key laughed.

Nobunaga just looked at Ranmaru with a disappointed face.

"As usual you are short-sighted, poisonous butterfly. It's true that arrows are less profitable in one-on-one duels, but that doesn't mean arrows are useless, because if they are in the right hands they can be very deadly weapons" Albert looked at the Robin.

"Is that a compliment?" Robin smiled.

Huo shouted "Start" the signal signaling the start of the match.

Without waiting Ranmaru took his arrow and started to draw the bow.

"The defense is really open" Key grumbled again.

However, it could be seen that the soldiers who were fighting him did not dare to approach Ranmaru.

Slowly a yellow light shone from the tip of Ranmaru's arrow, he let go of the bow.

The soldier also used his mana and coated it on his fists so that Ranmaru's attacks could be blocked by him.

Ranmaru again did the same thing he drew his bow and gave mana to his arrow then released it.

The soldier was still able to withstand it. Successive attacks were launched by Ranmaru, making it difficult for the soldier to narrow the distance.

Until Ranmaru ran out of arrows, seeing the opportunity, the Soldier immediately ran towards Ranmaru, With his fist he made an attack.

Ranmaru jumped into the air to dodge it. Ranmaru then drew his bow but no arrows.

Then the yellow light from his mana projection formed an arrow, and shot it straight into the soldier's blind spot. With that attack, even though the soldier was unharmed but he was knocked out of the arena by being blown away.

Therefore, victory belonged to Ranmaru.

"He uses the mana on his feet to jump into his enemy's blind spots, and uses his mana as arrows, he can take advantage of the surroundings and mistakes of opponents who underestimate him. He's a great kid, a deadly Samurai" Philip smiled.

But again the expression on Nobunaga's face did not change.

Nobunaga is a great samurai, so far there are only two people above him, one of them is the bloodhand demon lord. Because of that he has a strong stance on samurai, but unlike Nobunaga, Ranmaru has no talent in using samurai, thus making Nobunaga disappointed in him.

Of the thousands of people who came to participate in the Selection on the first day, only 11 people passed the third exam. Elry, and Elkov also passed because from the start the test should only be to see the ability of the participants.

The councils will assess the ability of each participant in fighting the soldiers. And the councils also decided who passed, from the start the councils didn't think anyone would actually be able to defeat the soldiers, Chrono and Ranmaru were a big surprise for them.

the selection was held for four consecutive days, 11 participants who passed the first day of selection, 9 people on the second day, 5 people on the third day, and 8 people on the fourth day.

In total there were 33 Participants who succeeded in proving their abilities.
