In the third round, Rashu met a familiar guy, Taylor.
Back at the Swordsmanship Association, Rashu had once shocked Taylor. Now, the two of them were actually competing on the same stage.
If it weren't for Rashu, he would have been the one competing with Lawrence for the first seat.
Unfortunately, Rashu's brilliance was too strong. He almost overshadowed Lawrence, let alone Taylor.
No one thought of comparing Taylor to the two of them.
Taylor looked at Rashu with a complicated expression. He was also provoked by Rashu. After returning from the Swordsmanship Association, he had been in seclusion. With the help of various things, he had broken through to become a level-6 apprentice knight in one go.
He was originally full of confidence, but when he heard the news that Rashu had defeated a level-8 knight apprentice, he instantly felt defeated.
"I don't believe you're that strong!"
Taylor gritted his teeth and said to Rashu," I'd rather believe that it was because Flower underestimated his opponent that he wasn't defeated.”
Rashu looked at him indifferently." You can try.”
"Arrogant!"
Taylor let out a low growl, raised his sword with both hands, and charged at Rashu.
Rashu didn't even look and casually slashed out with his sword.
"Bang!"
Taylor's chest was struck by Rashu's sword, and he flew backward as if he had been hit by a speeding carriage.
" What?!"
The eyes of the onlookers almost popped out of their sockets.
"Taylor…He was defeated in one move?"
"Rashu is too strong. This is a complete suppression of strength.”
"I heard that Rashu had just finished his extreme physical training when he fought against Flower. His strength was not even one-third of his peak. I didn't believe it at first, but now I do.”
Somewhere below the stage, the tall and eye-catching Lawrence's eyes narrowed slightly.
He couldn't defeat Taylor so casually.
This Rashu's strength was even a little stronger than he imagined.
Without any suspense, the final showdown between the First Seats was between Rashu and Lawrence.
Everyone's mood suddenly soared, and their voices were noisy. They discussed animatedly, and it felt like they were the center of attention.
The two of them stood on the dueling platform and faced each other quietly.
Lawrence's eyes were sharp like an eagle's. He was taller than his peers, and the sword in his hand was different from an ordinary knight's longsword. It was two palms wide, equivalent to a broadsword.
"No one in the third year has ever made me feel this kind of pressure and excitement.”
Lawrence raised his broadsword, and the muscles on his arms bulged like stones.
" You'll soon feel defeat again," Rashu said calmly.”
Lawrence was stunned and suddenly sneered." I hope your swordsmanship is as sharp as the rumors say.”
Before he could finish his sentence, Lawrence had already rubbed his body, and his two-palm-wide greatsword made a sharp sound in the air.
His aura was violent, like a lion pouncing on him.
At this moment, even the spectators below the stage felt a huge pressure coming at them.
"Lawrence, this is Lawrence's true strength!”
" The last time I saw him use this broadsword, he was still a little sluggish," someone said in surprise." Now, he should have already reached the strength of a 7th Rank Knight Apprentice."”
"3rd year, 7th rank apprentice knight!”
"Ssss…"
Many people gasped.
Most of the third-year students were still stuck at the level of level 3 apprentice knights. Those who could reach level 4 were already considered outstanding, and level 5 was an extremely outstanding existence.
However, Lawrence was already a level-7 knight apprentice. He was far ahead of his peers. Even if he was in the fourth grade, he would be an out-and-out powerhouse.
Even Taylor's face paled when he saw this scene.
Even without Rashu's presence, he would still be no match for Lawrence's sword even if he had broken through to become a level-6 apprentice knight. He would probably be defeated immediately and would not be able to shake Lawrence's position as the overlord of the third year.
How would Rashu deal with this sword?
Under countless gazes, Rashu narrowed his eyes slightly.
The longsword was thrust out and cut into Lawrence's broadsword in an elegant manner…
Then, he turned around.
Laurence grunted, and the broadsword in his hand slipped out of his hand. Then, Rashu's longsword gently pressed against his shoulder.
"You lost."
Rashu said calmly.
"Uh..."
Lawrence still didn't fully react, and he looked confused.
The audience fell silent. Lawrence was not the only one who did not react.
Everyone was stunned and stood rooted to the ground.
This was…Was it over?
The battle between the two great geniuses of the third grade that they had been looking forward to, the final confrontation of the competition for the First Seat, had ended just like that with a light sword strike from Rashu?
Everyone felt as if they were in a dream…
"Julian, your student is really something!”
Not far away, a few instructors gathered together could not help but praise sincerely.
"Using skill to break force. It seems simple, but the technique behind it is frighteningly high. If I'm not wrong, Rashu is using the royal sword technique.”
" Using fancy palace swordsmanship that is more of a performance than a real battle to fight against Lawrence's broadsword is as ridiculous as using an embroidery needle to fight against an iron rod that is as thick as a wrist.
But Rashu had done it forcefully. It was simply inconceivable!”
A teacher's face lit up as he exclaimed,"To do this, Rashu's swordsmanship must be at least two levels higher than Lawrence's.
Rumor has it that his swordsmanship has already reached the realm of lifting heavy things as if they were light. Now, I believe it.”
Julian's face was also filled with mixed emotions, but he was more proud and proud." In fact, Rashu had already reached the third level of swordsmanship two months ago. He had broken through right under my nose.”
"What?! He had already achieved it two months ago?”
The instructors exclaimed. At this moment, another instructor could not help but say," Rashu didn't just use the palace sword technique. I taught him the Flowerfold Sword Technique. At that time, I only demonstrated it to him once, and he had already memorized the entire sword technique and quickly mastered it…
I saw that he didn't use the Flowerfold sword-art just now. He clearly used some of his own techniques.
It was even stronger than the Flowerfold Sword Technique!”
The one who spoke was Fielding, who had taught Rashu once.
The instructors sighed.
"Monster! What a little monster.”
"He's not young anymore. I think he's at least at the level of an apprentice knight of the eighth rank.”
A teacher suddenly said to Julian,""Julian, to be honest, it's a waste for a student like you to stay in Orlando…"
"What do you mean?"
The other teachers seemed to have suddenly thought of something, and their faces revealed shock.
Julian's eyes flashed as he said in a deep voice,""Yes, I had such thoughts. With the talent that Rashu has displayed so far, he is already completely qualified to be recommended to the Imperial City's Knight Academy for further studies…"
