Chapter 10 Mentor's Instruction
On the training ground, Xiao Yun and Xu Ning stood at one end and faced each other.
"I will suppress my fighting spirit to the same level as yours, and only use fighting skills below the Xuan level. If you can force me to use Xuan level fighting skills, then you win." Xu Ning took off his mentor's robe, raised his arm, and the ring on his finger flashed. The robe on his hand disappeared, and a long sword was held in his hand instead.
The long sword was fiery red, and there were some strange fighting spirit inscriptions engraved on the surface of the blade, shining with a fiery red light. At the handle of the sword, a fiery red magic core was embedded in the grip. Even though Xiao Yun was dozens of meters away from Xu Ning, he could still feel the rich energy contained in his long sword.
Just by looking at the appearance of the long sword, you can tell that the long sword held by Xu Ning is a magic core weapon, and the energy contained in this magic core weapon is the same as its fighting spirit. With the blessing of the two, Xu Ning's fighting power may be increased by about 20% to 30%.
"Teacher, if you want to kill me, just say so. I don't have a weapon yet, and you want to fight me with such a long sword." Xiao Yun pulled the corner of his mouth, smiled bitterly and shook his head.
"Yes, then I will give you one."
Hearing Xiao Yun's words, Xu Ning took out a fine steel short sword from the ring, flicked his fingers on the sword lightly, and the short sword turned into a black shadow and shot towards Xiao Yun.
Seeing the short sword flying towards him with a strong momentum, Xiao Yun quickly wrapped his hands with fighting spirit to catch it. The fighting spirit and the momentum offset each other, and he held the short sword steadily.
Holding the short sword, Xiao Yun waved it randomly. He had never learned swordsmanship, so he felt very uncomfortable using the sword.
"Let's start?" Xu Ning stuck the long sword into the ground. The green bricks on the ground were easily inserted by it like tofu. The fire energy contained in it even burned the green bricks red.
"Well, I hope the mentor can show mercy." Xiao Yun nodded, and a surge of aura appeared on his body. The fighting spirit surged in his body, flowing through his body along the meridians, and even appeared on his body surface. A wave of fighting spirit swept around. After covering his body, the fighting spirit did not dissipate, but kept gathering, and finally slowly attached to the outside of Xiao Yun's robe, as if forming a defense. The
fighting spirit gauze, the signature skill of the fighting master, is also the most practical skill. It has a significant effect on the defense, speed, attack, etc.
The next second, Xiao Yun's figure flashed, turned into a stream of red light, and suddenly rushed towards Xu Ning.
Xiao Yun had never fought before, and his combat experience was definitely not as good as Xu Ning's, so he could only strike first to see if he could force Xu Ning to use his Xuan-level fighting skills.
Facts proved how naive Xiao Yun's idea was.
Looking at Xiao Yun running towards him, Xu Ning did not intend to dodge, but swung his long sword and chopped quickly in front of him. Each sword contained a fire attribute fighting spirit, leaving a trail of fiery red marks in the air.
In an instant, it was unclear how many times Xu Ning swung and chopped, and in front of him, countless chopped marks formed a fire net, rushing straight towards Xiao Yun.
Looking at the fire net that completely covered him, Xiao Yun, who was running wildly, couldn't stop even if he wanted to. He could only bite the bullet and cover the short sword with fighting spirit, hoping to break through the surface.
"Ding!" The short sword collided with the fire net. Under the strong force, the short sword was instantly broken into pieces, and Xiao Yun was also blown away by the recoil.
Falling on the bluestone bricks, Xiao Yun felt that his whole body was extremely sore, as if his internal organs were about to be shaken out. He quickly took out a pill from the ring, stuffed it into his mouth, sat up from the ground and adjusted his condition. After a few minutes, under the effect of the pill, Xiao Yun's body quickly recovered.
He opened his eyes and saw Xu Ning, who was standing far away, approaching him without knowing when, with a helpless look on his face.
"I said you are too weak, I just used one move and you fell down, and it was just a simple surge of blood and qi, not a serious injury, and you took out the elixir to recover." Xu Ning's angry voice came, he really didn't expect that Xiao Yun's combat experience was so poor, just like a toddler.
"Well, mentor, I have never fought with others before, so I am not very good at fighting." Xiao Yun shook his head a little embarrassedly, and explained that he was defeated by Xu Ning in one move.
"Oh, forget it. With your talent and age, it's normal that you don't have enough combat experience. Today I will teach you how to fight."
Xiao Yun nodded quickly, and was very grateful to Xu Ning for taking time out to accompany him to make up for his shortcomings in combat.
Soon, Xiao Yun's wailing could be heard on the training ground, as if he was enduring some great pain.
...
After an unknown amount of time, the sky outside gradually darkened.
After such a long period of one-sided fighting, Xiao Yun, relying on his powerful spiritual power, although he did not immediately become a master in combat, at least he could fight with Xu Ning for a few moves. On
the training ground, Xiao Yun stared at Xu Ning with his eyes fixed, his body trembling slightly. He now clearly recognized the gap between a fighter and a master fighter, and Xu Ning's combat experience far exceeded his own. If he acted rashly, Xu Ning would quickly find a flaw and defeat him.
Therefore, he could only focus on the slight movements of every part of the opponent's body to distinguish the opponent's attack method. Xu Ning looked at Xiao Yun's cautious appearance, nodded with satisfaction, kicked back with his right leg, and ran towards Xiao Yun with his body flashing back and forth. Immediately afterwards, Xu Ning swung a punch, and the violent fire attribute fighting spirit attached to the fist, forming a light that seemed to be substantial, and a huge fist print blasted towards Xiao Yun.
Looking at the fist rushing towards his face, Xiao Yun quickly lowered his body, and relying on the height difference between himself and Xu Ning, he used his own unique skill - the little ugly roll on the ground to avoid this fatal blow.
Xiao Yun dodged the punch, but its power disappeared and it hit a stone pillar behind him. Looking at the broken stone pillar, Xiao Yun was shocked. If it hit him, he would not be able to get out of bed for half a month.
"Dare to be distracted?" Xu Ning's voice came, and at the same time, he leaned forward and punched Xiao Yun.
Hearing Xu Ning's voice, Xiao Yun realized that he had made another fatal mistake. Fortunately, he reacted quickly and caught Xu Ning's fist with a palm in time.
Fists and palms met, violent fighting spirit surged wantonly, and even formed a wave of air between the two, spreading out in all directions.
"The reaction is good, but the strength is too low." Xu Ning grinned, and at the same time, the fighting spirit on his fist surged, and a stronger force shook Xiao Yun's palm away. He raised his right leg and kicked at Xiao Yun's waist like an iron whip. At the critical moment, Xiao Yun's fighting spirit gathered at his waist and abdomen, forming a fighting spirit gauze to defend against this kick.
But the powerful force still kicked Xiao Yun more than ten meters away.
Before landing, Xu Ning had already moved close to Xiao Yun like teleporting, and an elbow strike full of fighting spirit directly hit Xiao Yun's chest. This time, Xiao Yun had no time to defend himself and was hit hard by Xu Ning. His
body fell to the ground, and he only felt a burning pain in his chest, and a trickle of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth. Although Xu Ning did not use his full strength, Xiao Yun was also slightly injured by this blow.
"Come again!" Getting up from the ground, Xiao Yun took a pill to recover from his injuries, suppressed the fighting spirit in his body, and flashed, and continued to fight with Xu Ning.
In a few breaths, the two fought several times. Xiao Yun used all his soul perception to assist the fight between him and Xu Ning. Under the surging fighting spirit, a large amount of dust was rolled up around, and even the bluestone bricks on the ground were affected by the fight between the two, and large areas of irregular cracks appeared.
"Heart-breaking Palm!"
"Stone-splitting Kick!"
"Top Elbow!"
With the blessing of soul power, Xiao Yun's movements can keep up with Xu Ning, and he madly displays the yellow-level fighting skills he has mastered. In fact, he also knows the mysterious-level fighting skills, but he is not that proficient, and he is just a small fighter. If he uses the mysterious-level fighting skills, the fighting spirit in his body will be exhausted after a few moves.
Xiao Yun used almost all the moves he knew, but the effect was minimal. He could clearly sense Xu Ning's satisfaction when he took the attack, and even saw a hint of teasing in Xu Ning's eyes. After
using his fighting skills once again, Xiao Yun's body shook, and he retreated, no longer entangled with Xu Ning.
"What? Do you realize that you are doing useless work?" Xu Ning teased, "The battle between strong men is never about who has more fighting skills, but about who has stronger fighting skills! If the opponent's cultivation is lower than yours, it will still be useful if you use the yellow-level fighting skills like you do. But if the opponent's cultivation is the same as or even higher than yours, you are just wasting your fighting spirit."
"Thank you, mentor." Xiao Yun suddenly realized what Xu Ning's teasing meant.
"In that case, mentor, let's decide the winner with one move!"
"Okay, I want to see how many of Elder Huo's fighting skills you have mastered."
Xiao Yun took a deep breath, and the deep red fighting spirit suddenly gathered on his hands and then gushed out.
The huge red energy, like a volcanic eruption, kept surging in the air. After a moment, it condensed into a giant flaming palm that was five or six meters long.
"Red Flame Palm!"
In the field, the huge flaming palm swooped down towards Xu Ning, and the wind pressure generated made Xu Ning's clothes flutter.
"Good boy, it seems that you have really learned some skills from Elder Huo." Facing the giant flaming palm, Xu Ning was most aware of its power. This kind of powerful fighting skills was at least above the middle level of the Xuan level, and Xiao Yun was able to perform it with the strength of a fighter, which was enough to reflect his talent in learning fighting skills.
"Flame Blade!" With a flick of his wrist, the magic core long sword flashed in his hand. Fighting spirit entangled the blade, and the strange patterns on it were lit up by the fighting spirit. Xu Ning swung a huge blade light towards the flaming giant palm.
Bang!
The giant palm hit the blade light and was easily cut off by the blade light. After all, the gap between the fighter and the great fighter was still a bit large. The collision of the two forces was like a turbulent stream hitting a reef. Even if the sound was mighty, it would be smashed into pieces and destroyed.
Seeing this, Xiao Yun laughed and said to Xu Ning: "Master, your move doesn't look like a Huang-level fighting skill. Does this count as my victory?"
"Indeed, you win." He agreed to suppress his cultivation to the same level and not use Xuan-level fighting skills, but he still used his own special skills for the last move, because if he used other fighting skills, he would have been injured.
"Thank you for showing mercy, Master." Xiao Yun understood that he could only win in terms of fighting skills. He was far behind Xu Ning in terms of fighting skills. If the two were fighting to the death, Xiao Yun would have been killed by Xu Ning long ago.
"Not bad, you still have a clear understanding of your own abilities, and you didn't get complacent because of a temporary victory." Xu Ning was very satisfied with Xiao Yun's humble attitude. He had seen too many geniuses become arrogant and self-destructive because of a temporary victory, but Xiao Yun was different. Although he was just a child, he was humble and calm that didn't belong to this age.
"Remember, you can't become a strong person just by practicing hard. From ancient times to the present, there are many fools who have power but don't know how to use it. Only by constantly fighting with others, and in the battle, can you gradually master your own power." Xu Ning said to Xiao Yun earnestly.
Xiao Yun nodded, sensing the state of his fighting spirit, and found that after fighting with Xu Ning for a few times, his fighting spirit had become more solid, and his understanding of fighting skills had become deeper.
"It seems that I still need to learn from others more in the future. Refining medicine alone cannot save the fighting spirit continent."
