"I have high hopes for that crew-cut brat's future." Coffin-face was very calm, as if telling Smiley-face that he was worrying for nothing. "Besides, didn't you say that those two brats are very similar to us back then?"
He was still the one who understood Smiley-face the most — Zilong and Luo Lang's fight had reminded Smiley-face of the time when they had first met, evoking a sense of nostalgia in Smiley-face. Furthermore, Luo Lang's looks and personality were very similar to Smiley-face's, so Smiley-face had been tempted to take Luo Lang in as an initiate. Of course, Luo Lang's excellent qualifications were also a factor, otherwise no matter how similar they were, there was no value in nurturing him. Smiley-face would never have thought of taking him.
Coffin-face's words rendered Smiley-face speechless. His mouth twitched, and finally he said, "Perhaps, they can inherit our dreams."
"I hope so." Coffin-face looked towards Zilong's direction, and when Smiley-face could not see him, a faint smile quietly appeared on his face, causing the initially stern expression on Coffin-face to soften considerably.
The 13 to 7 arena matches were held simultaneously. After cheering for each other, Ling Lan and the other two stepped onto their respective arenas.
The match officially began. Ling Lan VS Qin Yi — this arena was the one with the most people gathered. Some of the Class-A students who had been eliminated had personally come to the arena to watch this match.
Of course, the Class-A students had mixed feelings. They didn't know whether to hope that Ling Lan would continue to advance in one move, or that someone would be able to break through this point and bring Ling Lan back from her unreachable position to them.
However, no matter what the students thought, Ling Lan and Qin Yi remained extremely calm. After the referee called for the match to begin, Qin Yi first darted to one side of the arena, while Ling Lan stood in the centre of the arena, facing off against her opponent from a distance.
With this confrontation, the two of them were in a stalemate. Time slowly slipped away, and after a few minutes, the spectators couldn't help but feel anxious.
At this moment, one of the two finally moved.
The one who moved was Ling Lan. It wasn't that she was less patient than Qin Yi, but she found that waiting like this was just a waste of time. Qin Yi put on a defensive posture, obviously determined not to take the initiative to attack.
Qin Yi did this because he had studied Ling Lan's previous matches and found that the opponents who were defeated by Ling Lan in one move all took the initiative to attack. Although he didn't know if defensive counterattack would be effective, Qin Yi still held on to this plan, waiting for Ling Lan to take the initiative to attack.
Qin Yi was still confident in himself. He believed that if he stared at the opponent's movements with full concentration, he should be able to see the opponent's attack style, and maybe he could crack his attack.
Ling Lan knew what her opponent was thinking, so she didn't want to waste any more time, so she took the initiative to attack.
Ling Lan rushed forward, her right hand clenched into a fist, and attacked Qin Yi. This punch actually made the sound of air exploding. It was clear that the speed and power of this punch were absolutely terrifying.
This time, the instructor in charge of the match wasn't the one from the previous few matches. However, when he saw Ling Lan's attack, his eyes showed a hint of surprise. This surprise wasn't because of Ling Lan's speed and power, but because of this move.
Ling Lan's consecutive one-move advancements made many instructors curious about Ling Lan, so they watched the recordings of Ling Lan's fights. And this instructor referee was one of them, so he could see the origin of Ling Lan's attack style.
This was the attack style of Ling Lan's first opponent in the ranking matches. Of course, when Ling Lan used it, the speed and power of this attack were much faster and fiercer than the opponent's. At the same time, a hole appeared in the opponent's chest when he swung his fist, and he used his left hand to quietly cross his chest to coordinate. In other words, this hole was no longer a hole, but a hidden trap.
This was the result of Ling Lan and Little Four's research. Ling Lan lacked proper fighting styles in the ring, so Ling Lan had no choice but to secretly learn from her classmates. In the end, she finally managed to figure out more than ten moves, and this was also her first time using them in a fight.
Compared to the students' confusion, the experienced instructors could see the origin of this move at a glance. This was why the instructor's eyes showed surprise.
When Qin Yi saw Ling Lan's attack coming, his body reacted very quickly, and he dodged to the side. Ling Lan's attack missed, and before she could follow up with a second move, Qin Yi once again retreated with a few quick steps, pulling the distance between him and Ling Lan to about seven or eight metres.
"He's really cautious. But, Boss, why did you slow down your speed and power by 70%? If you were going at your normal speed, he wouldn't have been able to dodge. "Little Four, who was watching the fight, was very puzzled. She could clearly finish Qin Yi in one move, so why was Boss going easy on him?
"No matter what, we have to fight for at least ten moves. I don't want to see those resentful looks from the instructors again." Ling Lan was scared now, and decided to slack off for now.
Last night, she had cultivated in the learning space for an entire night. In fact, it had been two months' time, and she had finally gotten rid of that side effect. From beginning to end, she estimated that it had taken her almost half a year's time (in the learning space) to finally get rid of that side effect. This was also why Ling Lan could control her speed and power today. Otherwise, even if Ling Lan had gone easy on him, there would have been nothing she could do.
Little Four didn't say anything after getting his answer. He still remembered Ling Lan's warning that when she was fighting, he shouldn't disturb her unless it was absolutely necessary. If it weren't for the fact that the opponent had moved far away, and Ling Lan hadn't attacked in one go, he wouldn't have asked.
Ling Lan saw that Qin Yi was ready again and rushed forward once more. As soon as she got close to Qin Yi's side, she immediately sent out a side kick. In order to successfully endure these ten moves, Ling Lan had to be careful and pay close attention to Qin Yi's situation. She didn't want the opponent to be knocked down by her just because he wasn't ready — that would undoubtedly be an extremely tragic thing.
Of course, the instructors who had studied Ling Lan before would be able to see that this side kick was also an attack move used by one of Ling Lan's opponents. However, Ling Lan had simplified this side kick — it no longer had the initial preparation of a full circle of power.
Although that method of power accumulation could indeed increase the strength of this side kick by 30%, a full circle of power not only slowed down the attack speed, it also revealed a large loophole. That was, there was a moment when the opponent's back was facing the opponent. As long as the opponent grasped this opportunity, not only would he be able to easily break this move, he would also very likely be heavily injured by the opponent. This was why Ling Lan had been able to send him flying with a kick.
Ling Lan decisively gave up on that full circle of power and instead chose a straight half-circle side kick. The movement was simplified, but a portion of the increased strength was still preserved. Ling Lan had estimated that if the power accumulation was a little worse, it would still be 15%. If it was a little better, it was even possible to have 20%. It was only a loss of 10% of the power accumulation. However, this loss had solved that large loophole and also increased the attack speed. It was undoubtedly very cost-effective.
Perhaps this kick was too ferocious. Although Qin Yi had mentally prepared himself, he was still shocked by Ling Lan's ferocious kick. He suddenly realized why Ling Lan could kick her opponent out of the ring with one kick. Just by looking at this strength, it was absolutely terrifying. At this moment, Qin Yi still didn't know that this was the result of Ling Lan's 70% power and speed reduction.
Qin Yi's reaction speed and reaction speed once again proved that he was outstanding. In the face of Ling Lan's powerful side kick, he still managed to dodge it.
At this time, the spectating students began to cheer for Qin Yi. After all, Ling Lan's performance in the previous few matches had been too exaggerated and monstrous. The students couldn't help but have a common enemy. So, seeing that Qin Yi had withstood two moves, they all cheered him on, hoping that he would be able to end Ling Lan's legend.
Amidst the cheers of the students, Qin Yi's originally nervous heart began to relax. He felt that his initial strategy had not been wrong. Ling Lan was indeed someone who was good at grasping the opponent's weakness. His opponent who took the initiative to attack would be seized by him, which was why he was able to defeat his opponent in one move. But when Ling Lan took the initiative to attack, the roles were reversed. Ling Lan was not as invincible as they had imagined.
Very quickly, Ling Lan attacked several more times in succession. If Zilong, Luo Lang, and Han Jijun had been here, perhaps they would have been a little surprised, because these few moves of Ling Lan's felt both familiar and unfamiliar to them. That's right, these moves of Ling Lan's had all been secretly learned when fighting with them. However, these moves had been modified to a certain extent under the research of Little Four and her. It wasn't that there was a problem with the moves of Zilong and the others, but that Ling Lan had modified these moves to suit her physical condition best.
"Ah, Boss, it's the tenth move." Little Four wasn't just watching the fight for nothing. He was very seriously counting Ling Lan's moves.
"It's here? Finally, I can be free. " Not only did she have to control her strength and speed, but she also had to judge the opponent's reaction. These ten moves of Ling Lan's had been extremely awkward, but when she heard that Little Four had completed ten moves, her mood instantly became extremely good.
By this time, Qin Yi had already gotten used to Ling Lan's attack speed and strength. He felt that he could handle Ling Lan's attacks, so he thought that he should counterattack. After all, he couldn't win by just relying on defence. Although he was very wary of Ling Lan's ability to grasp opportunities, he believed that even if he was caught by the opponent, with his speed and reaction, he would be able to deal with it.
Thus, he decided to test the waters with an attack, and the attack he chose was a move from their family's martial arts, which was most suitable for improvisation.
"He's attacking!" Little Four called out. Qin Yi kept dodging, slipping like a fish in water. This made Little Four very unhappy. Now, seeing that the opponent had finally taken the initiative to attack, he was incomparably excited.
"Seems like he's attacking but not attacking, seems like he's defending but not defending. He must have a backup move." Qin Yi thought that his speed was very fast, and the changes were very mysterious and secretive. However, in Ling Lan's eyes, his speed was somewhat slow. She could see the changes clearly at a glance, and not only that, she also accurately detected the blind spots of this move's defence.
