Infinite Mask Game.

Chapter 305 Branch Line
In a pure battle of skills, the rule of "hit means the end" makes the competition pace very fast.

The first two rounds were just warm-ups.

Wei Miao and Alfred didn't have much rest time between rounds.

The former is very interested, while the latter is giving it his all.

Wei Miao has already figured out some of the tricks.

Compared to Euphia hunting those monsters, this kind of duel requires more delicate techniques rather than the pursuit of extreme damage.

It is essentially a game of thinking.

See through your opponent and disguise yourself - use the swords to intertwine to detect the opponent's movements, predict his reaction, and counter his moves. Feint to lure the opponent into revealing a flaw and catch him off guard.

Similar to how the game is played.

The two sides retreated and then approached each other, taking a tight stance and keeping an eye on all directions.

In the third round, Wei Miao made a tentative sword collision, then suddenly raised his sword, with the tip of the sword pointing upwards, as if to chop down.

The head is very important. Regardless of whether it is a sparring match or not, most people will subconsciously protect their heads. This is an instinct that is difficult to suppress.

He might not even blink if he chopped off the opponent's arm, hoping to use his hand to replace his head for a double kill, but it was still too rare to use a head to replace a head.

Alfred raised his sword to protect his head, but the next moment he was met with a wrist-turn and upward attack from his opponent.

The sword bypassed his defense and slashed his forearm from bottom to top.

The burly man watching the fight nodded slightly.

This feint attack is a classic, but effective one.

Alfred should have been wary of this move as they had practiced sparring a lot, but he still fell into the opponent's hands.

It’s not that Alfred’s swordsmanship is inferior, but that the opponent has a better grasp of the psychology, and his movements are crisp, clear, and precise.

The feint also requires a certain level of skill.

After this round, Wei Miao had almost figured out the opponent's level and was fully into the game.

The battle was a bloodbath.

With her level, she could perform feints and real moves at will, incorporating Euphia's sharp swordsmanship style, and her momentum alone overwhelmed Alfred.

With swift steps, he revealed a ferocious attacking posture, and suddenly approached, chopping Alfred's arm before he could react, and then retreated with one strike.

The last sword was even more graceful. Wei Miao stepped forward and chopped down, easily hitting the opponent's thigh.

Respond with a hand chop in the second round.

The burly man standing nearby looked on with a complicated expression.

Without absolute distance control, it would be impossible to touch and go so easily, and the opponent would not be able to touch you at all when they counterattack.

In other words, after just a few rounds, Wei Miao had completely mastered the practice sword.

He had seen countless people, but he couldn't recognize what style of swordsmanship this strange woman used.

The sword skills displayed so far do not include any techniques for hand protection. He is accustomed to attacking with slashing blows, and has basically no sticky sword attack and defense.

His steps are quite methodical, with amazing jumping ability, and they are fast and changeable.

He played rather mildly at first, but his style suddenly changed in the later stage. He attacked fiercely, changing his pace and rhythm to launch surprise attacks, which made Alfred frightened.

The registration test was conducted in a public venue, and the noise here attracted some people who were taking a break from sword practice to stand by and watch.

They were just curious at first, but after a few rounds, they began to cheer from the crowd.

They couldn't help but applaud, but at the same time they couldn't help feeling a little apprehensive.

This is a tough opponent, a strong contender for victory in the competition.

The sense of relaxation in competition is very impressive.

After the test, Alfred took off his mask and said with a wry smile: "I lost."

Except for a comeback in the second round, which was due to the advantage of being familiar with the weapon, the rest of the time they were abused.

Being abused is also a form of experience. He believes that the opponent is experienced, skilled, and far superior to him.

I am convinced to lose.

Wei Miao also took off her helmet and took the initiative to shake his hand: "You fought very well." She really learned some experience in fighting with others. Alfred's swordsmanship foundation is quite solid, which is different from her swordsmanship style. He emphasizes virtual and real sword moves, and uses multiple attack and defense conversions to hook the opponent's flaws, which is very flexible.

Alfred thought she was just being polite and smiled.

After returning the protective gear and weapons, Wei Miao took the registration form from the burly man and filled in some fabricated information at random, and the registration was considered successful.

When Wei Miao left the military training hall, it was almost noon.

The burly man clutched the registration form and watched her go out the door and disappear around the corner. He patted Alfred beside him and said, "Whether in terms of size or physical fitness, you have an advantage, but you are not strong enough to ignore the gap in skills and thinking."

Alfred felt the strength of the hand on his shoulder, looking humbly willing to learn.

Before the dungeon started, Wei Miao and the other three agreed to meet at Zhuyou Square and go to the church.

When Wei Miao arrived, Ximen and Qian Qianyue were already waiting.

After a while, Wu Yao also came calmly.

When the four of them met, they would at most ask each other "Is everything going well?" As for what they did in the morning, only they themselves knew.

The midday sun casts a dazzling golden veil on the ivory-white statue, which looks down on the world like a loving mother.

They walked towards the church together, and the pop-up prompt box finally stopped being a warning.

[Tip: The Holy Cathedral of Virginia is a religious activity area, please remain in awe! 】

Walking along the flat stone road, Wei Miao admired the majestic and sacred building in front of him and watched the calm and joyful believers entering and exiting from under the archway.

Even on All Saints’ Day, a festival dominated by the silent death, the churches were still crowded.

As you enter the church, six guidance tasks will pop up automatically.
