The high platform on the training field was usually the place where the head instructor spoke. The open square field was a good place for sparring.
The recruits gathered around the high platform and looked at the two people on the stage.
Jiang Jiao had already received his spear. He was tall and sturdy, and looked very valiant. Probably because he had been practicing martial arts since he was young, he looked different from the other recruits. His appearance was also very good. If one were to be with this person, they would feel very at ease.
He Yan was standing opposite him. Compared to him, He Yan looked more like a teenager who had not yet matured. He was short and thin, but his facial features were delicate. After such a long period of training, he had been under the sun all day long. Although this teenager was tanned, compared to the other recruits, he was very pale. Standing there, he did not look like a recruit. He looked more like a young master from a rich family. He was gentle, handsome, and cute.
Jiang Jiao raised his spear. "You first."
Quite considerate. He Yan smiled and said, "Then I won't be polite." She held her spear in front of her. Her eyes moved slightly and she rushed forward.
Jiang Jiao's face changed and he went forward to meet her.
The two figures were entangled in a fight. "Peng, peng, peng, peng, peng" sounds were heard. In an instant, they seemed to have exchanged more than ten moves. Both of them took a few steps back and looked at each other.
He Yan looked at the other, her smile unchanged. Jiang Jiao looked at He Yan and could not hide his surprise.
As soon as they exchanged moves, he knew that He Yan was definitely not a beginner with the spear. The ten moves that she exchanged with him were all dangerous. He could not attack and could not retreat.
They were evenly matched!
He thought that he had already overestimated He Yan. He did not expect that he had underestimated her.
The recruits below didn't understand. They only felt that He Yan and Jiang Jiao hadn't even exchanged a few blows before they stopped. They weren't satisfied and were somewhat dissatisfied. One after another, they discussed, "What happened just now? Who had the upper hand? "
"I only drank some water. What did I miss? Did you see it? "
"No, I didn't see anything."
Below the stage, the head instructors looked dignified and were speechless for a long time.
Du Mao looked at Liang Ping. Liang Ping hurriedly waved his hand. "I don't know. Don't ask me! He has never shown this during spear practice. I don't know! "
The recruits did not understand, but the head instructors saw it clearly. He Yan and Jiang Jiao exchanged moves. He Yan did not lose. Jiang Jiao underestimated He Yan defeated... Jiang Jiao's spear arts were complex and varied, and he was as agile as a snake. He Yan's spear arts looked simple, but they contained power and could easily deflect Jiang Jiao's spear.
.................................................
.. Liang Ping was half proud and half fearful. He Yan hid his strength too well. If Jiang Jiao did not take the initiative to compete with He Yan, he would only think that He Yan was talented in bows and crossbows. His spear skills were not bad.
On the stage, Jiang Jiao stared at He Yan and said, "Again!"
... He Yan nodded.
This time, it was Jiang Jiao who attacked first with his spear. He Yan met him head-on. The two spears were glued together. The red tassels fluttered in the wind. Jiang Jiao's spear was like a snake. Every attack was dangerous and urgent. It went straight for He Yan's face, but He Yan only tilted her head slightly. The tip of the spear brushed past her cheek and hit nothing.
Jiang Jiao began to get serious. His spear skills were like a torrential downpour. Spear after spear, he tried to find a flaw in He Yan's defense. But miraculously, the young man was agile. Every time he narrowly dodged, the spear in his hand seemed to become an indestructible shield. It blocked Jiang Jiao's spear and prevented it from getting any closer.
"Hurry up! Go faster! Just a little bit more and he'll be defeated! "The recruits below the stage were anxious.
"Why is He Yan only defending and not attacking? Doesn't she know how to use a spear?"
As time passed, Jiang Jiao's spear skills could no longer support such intensive attacks. He stared at He Yan. He did not know how this seemingly weak young man had such strength and endurance. He did not seem tired at all. He was focused. So focused that it was frightening.
In a trance, Jiang Jiao's spear missed its target. He was shocked. He saw the young man opposite him smile. Jiang Jiao did not have time to react. He Yan's spear, which had been defending and not attacking, suddenly stabbed in front of him. He hurriedly used his spear to block, but it was stabbed to the side.
He Yan began to attack.
"The spear is the king of weapons. When weapons meet the spear, they will be defeated." The young man's voice was crisp. It was neither loud nor soft. The forest was empty. When he spoke, there was an echo. It was just enough to spread across the entire training field.
She lowered her body and avoided Jiang Jiao's spear. Then, from bottom to top, she stabbed at Jiang Jiao's face from a tricky angle.
"The Falling Spear Style is the Breaking Staff. The Left and Right Flower Style is the Breaking Card Style." She moved, moved the spear, and rushed forward again.
"That's right. The Breaking Sword, the Breaking Fork, the Breaking Shovel, the Breaking Double Blade, the Breaking Short Blade." Her arms seemed to have infinite strength. Even when blocked, she moved forward and stabbed at Jiang Jiao's left and right. Jiang Jiao did not have time to react. He was already in a sorry state.
"The Hooking Technique is the Breaking Whip, the Breaking Mace." She stepped forward again, the tip of her spear like a storm. Compared to Jiang Jiao's previous attacks, it was not inferior in any way. Furthermore, it was even more accurate, directly grabbing onto every single one of Jiang Jiao's weak points.
"The Breaking Short Blade, the Breaking Halberd." Jiang Jiao had been forced to the edge of the training field. He was in a trance. He felt like the young man in front of him was riding a horse to the battlefield. Everywhere he looked, there was a murderous aura. He was like a hot knife through butter. He was unstoppable. He was forced to retreat step by step. He was utterly defeated.
The long spear pounced straight at his face. Jiang Jiao hurriedly retreated. Suddenly, his feet slipped, and he fell down. His ears rang with the cries of alarm from the recruits below the stage. Jiang Jiao then understood that he had no way to retreat.
All of a sudden, a hand pulled him back.
The spear was pointed at his forehead. It did not move forward. The young man looked thin and weak, but he was very strong. He pulled Jiang Jiao back to the training field and retracted his spear to his side.
A gust of wind blew past, sweeping away the heat from before, leaving only a cool and refreshing feeling on their faces. The flag fluttered in the wind. The birds and insects in the forest chirped.
The young man stood straight. His voice was still crisp. There was no tiredness or panting. He was neither fast nor slow. His voice was powerful and resonant. "Men do not see a real spear, so they are obsessed with weapons. Once they have a real spear, they see weapons as child's play."
Jiang Jiao looked at him in a daze. After a while, he said softly, "You've read the 'Arm Record'?"
The 'Arm Record' recorded spear and blade techniques. Jiang Jiao had read it because his family ran a martial arts school. His grandfather, his father, his brother, and he had all read it. He had read it before, but he felt that what was written in the book was too exaggerated. No one could really do it. But now, he was here, and he knew that it was because he had not learned enough from this young man.
The young man tilted his head and looked at him. He said with a smile, "I've read a little. I understand a little, a little."
