Battle technique challenges were common occurrences in the Master Teacher Academy. There were many master teachers who would challenge stronger opponents in order to test their fighting prowess.
Seeing that Zhou Ye had made such a request, the young man named Ruohuan was taken aback for a moment before replying with a smile, "Of course!"
"Let's begin then!"
Zhou Ye nodded. Taking a deep breath, he suppressed his cultivation layer by layer, and soon, he was also at Cosmos Bridge realm as well.
"Since you used a palm art earlier, I won't use a weapon either. Let's begin!"
Chuckling, Zhou Ye flicked his wrist and charged forward.
His movements were reminiscent of a specter. Even though he was only at Cosmos Bridge realm, his movements were reminiscent of a specter, making it difficult for others to see where he was going to attack.
"Not bad!"
Ruohuan's eyes lit up. Without moving his body, he abruptly flicked his palm and struck forward.
President Zhang had once said that if one panicked in the face of such a move, it would be equivalent to falling for the other party's ploy. If that was the case, it would be difficult for one to achieve victory in the future.
As such, one had to be able to see through the facade of such feints. No matter how the other party moved, the only way to launch an attack was to find a fixed location.
"Good move!"
Seeing the other party's palm strike, Zhou Ye's eyes lit up.
Just as the other party had thought, the purpose of his move was to bait the other party into making a move. Once the other party made a move, he would be exposing his flaws.
Thus, Zhou Ye walked up to the other party's side and flicked his palm downward.
He thought that as long as he exerted his strength, the other party would surely admit defeat. Yet, before his palm could land on the other party, he suddenly felt a stifling sensation in his chest.
Narrowing his eyes, Zhou Ye realized that the other party had already discovered his location, and his other palm was already waiting for him there!
In other words, the previous palm strike was a feint to bait the other party into making a move. As soon as the other party confirmed his location, the other party would follow suit.
Peng!
At this moment, it was already too late for Zhou Ye to dodge. With a stifling sensation in his chest, Zhou Ye was sent flying out of the training grounds, crashing heavily onto the ground.
"He defeated Zhou Ye in a single move?"
"Could he be the one who is going to be assessed?"
"That's very likely. How can he possess such powerful fighting prowess?"
The crowd from the Combat Master Hall was shocked.
Liao Song also raised his eyebrows.
In the previous battle, he could easily tell that the fellow named Luo Huan was inferior to Zhou Ye in terms of zhenqi strength and reaction speed. Yet, he was still able to emerge victorious in the duel. This showed that his comprehension of battle techniques and battle prowess was extremely high.
Most likely, he was the cultivation prodigy that Zhuo Qingfeng had mentioned.
Otherwise, how could he be so strong?
"Hu Chen, go up and try!"
Frowning, Liao Song waved his hand.
Of course, whether it was true or not still needed to be tested.
"Alright!"
The youth called Hu Chen nodded, and with a leap, he also jumped onto the training field.
"Seeing how exquisite your moves are, I want to give it a try too …"
After saying that, he suppressed his cultivation.
"Sure!"
Nodding his head, Ruohuan was just about to make a move when a young man suddenly stepped forward and said, "Ruohuan, why don't you let me have the opportunity to spar with the weaklings? Look, I am the worst student here, and I still haven't comprehended Principal Zhang's lecture. Why don't you let me give it a try?"
"Alright!"
Seeing the look on his good friend's face, Ruohuan could only nod helplessly.
His good friend's comprehension of battle techniques was indeed lacking, and it would be difficult for him to master them. If he were to spar with this weakling who had appeared out of nowhere, he might be able to gain some inspiration from it.
Ruohuan gongzi was the one who had followed Zhang Xuan from the League of Nations back then. After a period of hard work, he had managed to reach Cosmos Bridge realm.
Having been with Zhang Xuan ever since the League of Nations, his understanding of battle techniques had deepened significantly. On top of that, as one of the founders of the Xuanxuan Faction, he had put in a lot of effort into his cultivation. As such, be it in terms of eye of discernment or strength, he was no longer the same as before.
In his view, even though the two who had appeared out of nowhere possessed decent fighting prowess and unique moves, they were still far from matching up to those whom Principal Zhang had imparted to him.
What Principal Zhang had imparted to him was the fundamentals of battle techniques. No matter how fancy or dazzling a battle technique was, it was still an offensive move. As long as there was an offensive move, there would be flaws in it that would allow him to counterattack!
As such, it would be a good opportunity for him to temper himself by having his friend make a move.
"Weakling?" Hearing the conversation between the two, Hu Chen felt his zhenqi surge violently, nearly exploding on the spot.
Brother, open your eyes and look at me. I am a Chrysalis realm combat master, and I have suppressed my cultivation to fight with you. Yet, you dare to call me a weakling?
He wasn't the only one who felt that way. The other combat masters also nearly spurted blood upon hearing those words. No matter where they went, they were considered to be superior existences. This was the first time they had been looked down upon like that.
"Hu Chen, don't go easy on him …" One of the combat masters couldn't help but send a telepathic message over.
"I know!" Hu Chen's eyes flashed viciously.
He had been thinking that he should at least give the other party some face if he couldn't handle it, but since the other party was so stubborn, he couldn't blame him for not going easy on him.
"Let's begin!" Hu Chen gestured for the other party to start.
"Un."
The young man nodded before walking up to Hu Chen.
"Even though Principal Zhang has imparted some combat techniques to me, I am still lacking in mastery over them. If I were to accidentally injure you later on, don't blame me …"
The young man said.
"Cut the crap and bring it on!" Unable to hold himself back any longer, Hu Chen stomped on the ground and charged forward.
His attacks were powerful, and his zhenqi flowed in all directions, giving him the impression that he was capable of swallowing everything in his path.
Upon seeing Hu Chen's attack, not only did the young man not show the slightest fear, his eyes lit up, and he exclaimed, "Good move!"
After saying those words, he ignored the shocked gazes of the crowd and sent a fist forward to meet Hu Chen's attack.
Hong long!
As the fist and palm collided, Hu Chen felt his arm going limp as a powerful force struck him. His face reddened, and he was sent flying.
Peng!
Just like Zhou Ye, Hu Chen was sent flying out of the training grounds and crashed into the ground.
If he hadn't used his full strength earlier, the backlash would have been less severe. However, in a head-on clash, he was unable to move his arm at all. It would probably take at least three to five days for him to recover.
"This …"
"Our combat masters aren't a match for him in a head-on clash?"
The combat masters were stunned once more.
Liao Song's lips twitched.
He had just seen with his own eyes how Ruohuan's zhenqi and strength were far beneath that of his subordinates. Yet, that fellow, who had come to seek guidance from the other party, was actually able to send Hu Chen flying with a single blow … This was way too inconceivable!
While Liao Song was still pondering over the matter, Ruohuan suddenly turned to the young man not too far away and sneered, "Didn't I tell you that a battle isn't just about brute force? It's about technique and technique … How can you be so stupid? "
Ruohuan gongzi was indeed furious. That fellow had only learned the zhenqi and strength imparted to him by Principal Zhang, but his comprehension of battle techniques was lacking. It was precisely because of this that he had been defeated by them every single time. This time, he had specially arranged for him to spar with someone whose comprehension of battle techniques was lacking … and yet, the other party was still using brute force. How could he be so stupid?
"I …"
The young man scratched his head awkwardly. "Seeing how straightforward he is, I couldn't help myself … How about this?"
After saying those words, he turned to the crowd and said, "Who else wants to spar with me? I promise that I won't use brute force to crush all of you this time …"
"You …"
Seeing the other party's attitude, the combat masters felt as if they were going to go insane.
This was the first time in history that someone had said that he wouldn't crush a combat master with brute force …
That was way too arrogant!
"I'll do it!"
Unable to hold himself back any longer, a combat master rushed forward. He was the last Chrysalis realm cultivator.
At this moment, he suppressed his cultivation and gestured with his palm. "Come!"
"Alright!" The young man nodded. But just as he was about to make a move, one of the combat masters beside him suddenly spoke up in displeasure. "Zhao Qing, what do you mean by this? Are you intending to monopolize such a good opportunity for a duel? "
"I …" The young man scratched his head.
"Alright, I don't think that these friends of yours are too weak. It's rare to have such opportunities. Zhao Qing, let Song Ying take the duel!"
Ruohuan gongzi said.
"Alright then!"
The young man, Zhao Qing, nodded reluctantly.
"You all …"
The combat masters who had just arrived at the training ground were on the verge of tears.
What do you mean by not too weak?
We're very strong, alright?
But … as soon as he turned around and saw his two companions lying on the ground, he choked on his rage, unable to utter a single word.
To be defeated so easily … You call that strong?
In the eyes of the other party … perhaps it was really just not too bad!
"Cut the crap and bring it on!"
Gritting his teeth, the combat master glared at Song Ying.
"How can you compete with such a rash person?"
Song Ying stepped forward and shook his head.
"You …" As infuriated as the combat master was, he knew that he had lost his composure. Taking a deep breath, he suppressed the frustration in his heart before turning to Song Ying once more. "Let's begin!"
Seeing how the combat master was able to suppress the agitation in his heart so quickly, Song Ying nodded in astonishment. "Let's begin!"
After saying those words, he leaped forward.
Peng peng peng peng!
The two of them immediately crossed blows.
After three moves, the combat master's face reddened as the other party found an opening and sent him flying with a kick, crashing heavily onto the ground.
"This …"
Seeing that the three of them were no match for Song Ying, the combat masters glanced at one another in bewilderment.
They had thought that Zhuo Qingfeng was exaggerating the prowess of the Hongyuan Master Teacher Academy, but after witnessing it with their own eyes, they realized that it was truly a formidable foe.
"Could you all be … Zheng Yang, Liu Yang, and the others who will be participating in the Combat Master Selection this time around?"
One of the combat masters couldn't help but ask.
"Zheng Yang and Liu Yang?"
Hearing those words, Ruohuan shook his head with a bitter smile. "They are the direct disciples of Principal Zhang, and they are a hundred times stronger than us. How can we possibly compare to them?"
"You aren't? Then … could it be that you are three of the hundred who cleared the Combat Master Selection this year? "Liao Song asked.
"A hundred?" Ruohuan shook his head once more. "We are too weak, so we aren't qualified to participate in the Combat Master Selection …"
Not qualified to participate in the Combat Master Selection?
Liao Song's body swayed weakly as he felt a stifling sensation in his chest. "Then, you are …"
"We are from the Xuanxuan Faction … There are thirty thousand members in the academy, and their fighting prowess is roughly on par with us!"
Ruohuan gongzi replied seriously.
"Our fighting prowess is nothing much in the Xuanxuan Faction.
