Hello, Arknights

Chapter 187 Discussion

"Doctor White Dove, Miss Alina, good morning." Red, who had just finished a simple team combat training, wiped the sweat off his forehead and was a little surprised to see the two people appearing on the sidelines.

"Mr. Red is very powerful." Ling Dengxian responded with emotion. Just now, he watched him and put himself as Hong Dao's opponent, and found it difficult for him to beat him. Hong Dao's attack speed was okay, but the force and destructive power brought by the blade made him a little frightened.

"Doctor White Dove is joking. It's just a little advantage brought by racial talent. Compared with those truly talented people, I'm still an ordinary person after all." Red gathered his firework-like scarf, and the fighting spirit in his eyes did not diminish at all while his breath exhaled white mist.

"Being strong is not destined, hard work is also a talent." Ling Dengxian was in a trance for a moment, recalling the faint blue light and shadow drawn by the city-breaking spear in his hand in the valley more than a year ago.

I don't know if the city-breaking spear has been repaired yet... I miss the feeling of swinging a heavy weapon, and I remember the sweat of unwillingness.

"I seem to have been a little slack..." the boy muttered.

"What's the matter? Bai Ge, do you want to go down and move around?" Reid was very sensitive to Ling Dengxian's gradually becoming more and more enthusiastic, and he also dropped the title of "doctor".

"Almost. Does Mr. Reid have time?" Ling Dengxian threw away his worries, and the youthful tension and expectation gradually replaced the "maturity" brought by the ups and downs of life. Alina was surprised to find that this young man was really not very old, but many experiences had allowed him to calm down his passion.

Growth does not have to be shown on the outside, the original intention of a child should come from the heart.

"Of course." The Ursus man stroked the scarf around his neck with his bandaged fingers, adjusted his breathing, and then pulled up his hood. His brown eyes lit up, the red covering the brown. With a move of his hand, the weapon, including the blade and sheath, was held in the hand of its owner.

Ling Dengxian clenched his fists, and when he took a step forward, he remembered and turned back to warn: "Alina, stand further away, be careful not to get hurt."

The soldiers became excited upon seeing this and consciously distanced themselves again to give the two men more space.

"Brother Bai, you better be careful. Mr. Red's knife can make those bounty hunters flee recently."

"Uh...what do you mean?" Ling Dengxian didn't understand the Ursus language as there were some words he had never heard of mixed in it.

"I forgot your level of Ursus... It's okay, keep going." Alina smiled and gave him an encouraging look.

She didn't think Ling Dengxian could beat Reid. Ling Dengxian was not very old and was also engaged in medical work. Most importantly, he didn't have any scars on his body.

Scars cannot explain everything, but they can prove the experience.

Ling Dengxian certainly didn't know what she was thinking. At this moment, the blood flow in his body quietly accelerated and his fighting spirit began to roar.

The sound became noisy.

Texas looked up and stopped searching for the mouth of the giant wolf that was following him secretly. The miniature version of Chi Yu at his feet pricked up his ears, and both the man and the wolf looked in the direction where the scene was gradually becoming more lively.

She looked at the woods behind her, pondered for a moment, and looked at Chi Yu: "Then forget it today, let's go and take a look."

Chi Yu understood what she meant. He shook his fur indifferently, and his body returned to its adult size. He rubbed his head against Texas' arm, and rushed towards the noisy scene with her.

On the open space that temporarily served as a training ground, Ling Dengxian and Reid stood on each side. Ling Dengxian drew out Honglian, and the white and gray swords stayed quietly in their sheaths, silent but not quiet.

The noise died down, but it was easy to imagine it breaking out again when the two men clashed.

"Big Bear, do you think this scene is the scene of 'swords and sabers' in the legend of Yan Country?"

"I don't know. Let's ask Doctor Bai Ge later. He is from Yan Country and might have seen those legendary swordsmen. No, they are the martial arts knights."

While the onlookers were talking, Ling Dengxian was the first to move at the moment when the light and shadow changed due to the sun penetrating the clouds.

Chi Xiao? Draw your sword!

Reid's eyes flashed as he dodged the whistling sword light, flipped the blade and counterattacked fiercely from bottom to top.

"Qiang!"

The force from the blade at the moment of the confrontation made Reid's whole body tremble. Unable to stop the pressure, he took a step back. Ling Dengxian slashed with a heavy sword, leaning forward and adding some of his weight. He realized that he had underestimated Ling Dengxian's strength.

"This guy... he looks to have a similar physique to me, but his strength is totally off!" Red certainly didn't know that this guy was trained by Vaifan in his early years. It's just that the opponents he encountered were too abnormal, and many times his advantage in strength level could not be reflected.

The opening confrontation was exactly as Ling Dengxian had predicted, but before he could be happy, the situation changed.

Hong Dao did take a step back, but only one step. The two men simultaneously exerted force for the second time, causing metal to crack and the center of gravity to be shaken by the sudden increase in force. Reid rushed forward, and the knife and sword that had just separated intersected again, causing Ling Dengxian to be blown away.

At this moment everyone burst into exclamations. They could see that in this battle, the two were evenly matched, and it could even be said that White Dove had the upper hand.

At first, they had similar ideas to Alina. After all, Bai Ge had been silently responsible for some medical work among them. The fact that the two of them could cross the wilderness together only showed that they had good survival skills. However, it was Black Wolf who was the most outstanding. Bai Ge's current performance was more focused on assistance and was not eye-catching at all.

But his current performance undoubtedly shows that he is not just a simple helpless logistics officer.

The young man exerted force from his waist and landed steadily with his experience in flying. Hongdao wanted to press on and attack, but Ling Dengxian did not retreat but advanced instead, and used the force of Honglian Sword to block the tip of the knife.

"One hand?!"

Reid's expression tensed and he retreated immediately. A white light flashed, and Ling Dengxian was holding a white sword in his left hand. A strand of red silk cloth hung on the tip of the sword, fluttering slightly in the cold wind, like a small flame jumping.

"Bai Ge, it really is true that you can't judge a book by its cover... I'm not afraid of you laughing at me, but I was the one who was evaluated like this in the past." Hong Dao exerted force on his wrist, and the bandage broke into several pieces.

"Can I use Originium skills?" Ling Dengxian moved his steps, the fighting spirit in his eyes beating.

"Don't be restrained. I also have Originium skills." Hong Dao raised his hand, and the next second both parties moved almost at the same time. The collision of swords made a sound of confrontation that resounded throughout the venue, and then the air was constantly cut and torn like silk. Under the shocked gaze of the crowd, the two of them, with sparks and sword whistles and sword chants, set off waterfalls of snow waves all over the venue.

"Stop it!" Alina couldn't help but remind them because she was afraid that the two of them were fighting too much.

"They all held back." Rupert watched the fight quietly. She also felt a little bit involved, but after a moment she found it boring.

"Ah?" The little deer tilted his head.

"White Dove asked, but none of them used Originium techniques." Texas explained again.

"Half a move wins," she said.

A sword chanting sounded around the beams. Ling Dengxian stood firmly in the center of the venue. Reid steadied his body not far away. Both of them were equally calm.

Ling Dengxian let out a long sigh and bowed to him.

"Great!" The crowd burst into applause. Apart from the difference in language, Ling Dengxian felt that this was no different from the sparring scenes between two worthy opponents in martial arts stories.

"Very good, both of you." A clear sound of applause stood out from the crowd, and the people who had calmed down consciously made way for them, or rather, the appearance of the newcomers made them sober up faster.

Ling Dengxian and Reid were stunned: "Leader?"
