If there was anyone in Hongtian Academy who was the most knowledgeable in spear arts, it would definitely be him.
Ever since he could remember, he had been practicing the spear. Day after day, year after year, he had already integrated this weapon into his life, into his blood.
But even so, it was still far from Spear Intent.
Initially, he thought that this kind of concept was just an illusory legend that he would never be able to achieve in his lifetime. Never in his dreams did he expect that... he would see it in the body of a teenager before him!
Even though the Spear Intent he'd condensed was only the most primitive and simplest embryonic form, and there was still a huge distance before it could truly reach the advanced stage, but it was like a seedling. As long as it was given enough time, it would absolutely be able to grow and become a towering tree!
"How did he do it?"
Previously, he had thought that Mo Xiao's act of admitting defeat was an insult to the Wang Clan's spearmanship. But at this moment, he realized that with this move, the Wang Clan's spearmanship and spearmanship experts were nothing more than trash!
In the face of a move infused with Spear Intent, there was no way any other moves could block it.
In fact … even if he were to suddenly encounter it, he wouldn't be able to contend against it!
If this Zheng Yang's cultivation was similar to his, he could definitely kill him with a single spear strike!
"Could it be … this is the move that Father learned?"
Shocked, Wang Chao suddenly thought of something.
Not too long ago, his father, Wang Chong, had paid an astronomical price to learn a spear art from Wang Chong. Over the past few days, he had been in seclusion, intending to comprehend Spear Intent. All along, he had been wondering what kind of spear art would be worth so much money. However, upon seeing Zheng Yang's move, he finally understood...
If this was really the case, not to mention three million gold coins, even if it was ten million, twenty million, or even if he had to go bankrupt, it would still be worth it!
Previously, the butler had said that the one who taught his father spearmanship seemed to be an apothecary. However, upon seeing Guild Leader Ouyang and the others saying that they wanted to watch Apothecary Zhang Xuan's duel... Could it be that the person who taught him the spearmanship was Zhang Xuan laoshi?
His body swayed, and he felt an urge to vomit blood.
"Miss Zhang is half a teacher to me, and she has already imparted this spear art to me. In the future, when I see her, I will have to address her as grandmaster, or … grandfather!"
Shaking his head, Zhang Xuan was just about to toss aside this meaningless thought when he suddenly heard an authoritative voice. Following which, he saw his father walking over with widened strides.
The Teacher Evaluation had caused such a huge commotion that even Wang Chong couldn't help but attend the duel.
"Grandmaster? Grandpa? "
With a pale face, Wang Chao burst into tears.
He wasn't the only one who was behaving this way. The audience was also dead silent.
The so-called insiders were even more dumbfounded, and their faces were filled with madness.
Although he didn't recognize that it was Spear Intent, seeing that Zheng Yang had broken the Coiling Dragon Hand with a single spear strike, he knew that Zheng Yang had definitely reached this level!
A sixteen or seventeen-year-old student comprehending Weapon Intent?
How could there be such a perverted thing in the world?
And how terrifying was the teacher who had imparted his spear art to him?
"Looks like Mo Xiao didn't admit defeat to give in to his friend, but he really couldn't hold on!"
"Indeed. Putting aside Fighter 3-dan, even a Fighter 4-dan wouldn't be able to withstand this move."
"What a powerful move. Was it really taught by Miss Zhang?"
"Miss Zhang... Not only are her movements, kicks, and punches formidable, but her spear is also formidable as well?"
All the students were dumbfounded.
"It's only been a few days, but he … has improved again!"
Mo Xiao's body also trembled. He looked at Zhang Xuan again, and he could no longer suppress the desire and yearning in his eyes.
There was only one voice in his heart …
He had to acknowledge him as his master!
…
"Damn it!"
After the Coiling Dragon Hand was broken by Zheng Yang's spear, Lu Xun felt a stifling sensation in his chest. A savage expression appeared on his face and he roared furiously. Just as he was about to deal with the exhausted Zheng Yang, he heard a dull sound. Not too far away, Liu Yang's fist was flying toward him.
At the same time, Wang Ying appeared not too far away like a phantom and kicked at him.
Si la!
A fist and a kick tore through the air. Even before they arrived, one could already feel a chill running down one's spine.
Even though the might of these two moves couldn't be compared to the previous spear strike, they couldn't be underestimated. If he were to be struck by them, even with his powerful physical body, he would probably suffer light injuries.
"Hmph!"
With an awful expression, his body swayed and as though a butterfly, he retreated two steps.
Battle technique 【Butterfly Steps】, Fleeting Phantasm, Butterfly Traversing Flowers!
Dodging the fist and kick, Lu Xun was just about to counterattack when he felt a chill run through his body, as though he had fallen into an icy abyss.
Following which, his vision blurred and an indescribably beautiful lady appeared in his vision. At the same time, a smooth and flawless hand appeared before his chest.
Lu Xun's eyes narrowed. Even though he was nervous, he was still a Pixue realm pinnacle expert after all. With a flip of his hands, he formed a seal and charged forward.
Battle technique 【Pagoda Flipping Seal】, flipping a pagoda with a wave of his hand, causing the earth to tremble!
Boom!
The Pagoda Flipping Seal collided with the other party's palm.
Zhao Ya's body trembled and she was sent flying.
She was only at Dingli realm pinnacle, and there was a huge gap between her and Lu Xun.
However, Lu Xun wasn't in a good state either. The zhenqi from Zhao Ya's palm carried an extreme chill of pure yin, causing his body to tremble. Even after retreating three steps, he still felt a chill running down his spine.
In fact, a surge of chilling zhenqi had seeped into his meridians, and it was difficult for him to expel it within a short period of time.
Five people, six attacks, and Lu Xun only managed to withstand a single blow before retreating eleven steps.
The crowd was dumbfounded and speechless.
That was Lu Xun laoshi, the number one star teacher in Hongtian Academy. Putting aside the fact that his cultivation was the strongest in the academy, it was impossible for a Pixue realm cultivator to defeat him.
Yet, he was forced to retreat by a few Fighter 2-dan and Fighter 5-dan fellows. If they hadn't witnessed it for themselves, they wouldn't have believed it.
"This is their joint attack formation?"
He knew that Zhao Ya and the others were secretly practicing their collaborative formation, but he had never seen them execute it before. Seeing it now, a slight frown appeared on Zhang Xuan's forehead.
"Very well. To be honest, I have underestimated you all. You do have the qualifications to challenge me if you work together!"
Adjusting his breathing, Lu Xun saw that he was forced to retreat continuously by a few juniors. Instead of looking down on them, a grave expression appeared on his face. "We do have the qualifications, right?
"I think so too. Lu laoshi, look, we've crossed blows with you before, and we've already helped Zhang laoshi vent his anger. Why don't we just call it a draw and stop the battle? Otherwise, both sides might suffer great losses..."
Yuan Tao said with a grin, walking forward as he spoke.
"A draw?" Lu Xun harrumphed coldly. "Even though your attacks were novel and I was fearful of them the first time you used them, they are useless now that they are exposed before me..."
He was right.
Even though the attacks of the five of them weren't weak, they didn't have any follow-up moves to back them up. Thus, they were only able to use a single move each time. Against an ordinary expert of the same cultivation realm, it was sufficient. However, against a potential master teacher like Lu Xun, it was insufficient.
After all, regardless of whether it was his eye of discernment or comprehension of battle techniques, the five of them were far inferior to him.
"You are right. How about this, why don't... I negotiate with them and admit defeat?"
A conflicted expression appeared on Yuan Tao's face. He walked forward once more, and upon seeing that he was only a few steps away from Lu Xun, his eyebrows shot up and he charged forward.
"Hmph, again?"
After the incident with Kong Jie, Lu Xun had been keeping an eye on this fellow. Upon seeing him charge at him once more, he harrumphed coldly.
The first time you collided with me, I was caught off guard and was forced to retreat two steps back. The second time, you were able to block it easily with your Coiling Dragon Hands. Yet, you still don't know how to repent. Come the third time...
You are looking down on me too much!
A cold glint flashed across Lu Xun's eyes. Instead of dodging, he raised his palm, intending to deflect the other party's charge. However, before he could come into contact with the other party, Yuan Tao suddenly stopped, opened his arms, and rushed forward to hug him.
He didn't expect the other party to change his move so quickly.
Furthermore, even if he had thought of it, he wouldn't have dared to believe it. Who in the world would run over to hug someone in the midst of a battle?
Kacha!
In an instant, the fatty hugged him tightly, locking his hands together.
"You..."
Seeing a teacher being hugged by a student, Lu Xun's complexion turned awful. Twisting his body, he rammed into the fatty.
Peng!
A dull sound echoed.
The strength of this collision was on par with his fist. Even an ordinary Pixue realm expert would spurt blood from the impact. Yet, the body of the fatty who was hugging him jolted, and his hands didn't loosen in the slightest.
To think that he would be able to withstand such a powerful collision!
"What incredible defense..." Lu Xun's eyes narrowed.
At this moment, no matter how foolish he was, it was clear that the fatty's strength wasn't his ramming ability but... his defense!
He had overlooked this previously.
"Hurry up!"
Grabbing onto Lu Xun, Yuan Tao roared.
Hu!
Before he could finish shouting, a long spear whizzed over, piercing straight at him.
"Damn it!"
Seeing how ferocious the spear was, Lu Xun knew that he would be severely injured if he were to be struck by it. Roaring furiously, he stomped his feet on the ground.
The powerful shockwave struck the ground and pulled Yuan Tao three feet into the air, dodging the sure-kill attack.
"Come down!"
However, even though he had dodged the spear, he wasn't able to dodge Liu Yang's fist. Harrumphing coldly, the Heaven's Path Fist Art struck his back.
Pu!
A mouthful of blood spurted out.
"If this goes on, I might really die in the hands of these juniors..."
Spurting blood, Lu Xun's eyebrows twitched wildly, and he was on the verge of going insane.
If he didn't find a way to break free from the fatty's embrace, he might really lose today!
These five students didn't seem too old, and their cultivation realm wasn't high either. However, the battle techniques they practiced were simply too bizarre. Even he found it hard to withstand their blows.
"Let go of me!"
Roaring furiously, Lu Xun smashed his right elbow toward Yuan Tao, who was behind him.
This time, he had used a hundred percent of his strength. With his physical body and strength, even steel could be pierced through in an instant.
Peng!
A powerful elbow landed on Yuan Tao's chest.
Pu!
Yuan Tao's face reddened.
However, despite the excruciating pain on his body, he didn't let go. It was as if he had become a massive chain that bound the other party tightly, unwilling to let go even in death!
"You..."
Not expecting the other party to refuse to let go of such a powerful elbow strike, Lu Xun was infuriated, but at the same time, astonished.
How was this a duel? This was a fight to the death!
In this moment of distraction, a foot landed heavily on his chest.
At the same time, a pair of flawless hands landed on his chest.
Peng peng!
With two crisp sounds, Lu Xun felt a stifling sensation on his chest, and he was sent flying.
(Happy Lunar New Year to everyone!)
