But in Elsa’s eyes, this slight advantage was sothing she could completely ignore!
The two energy swords collided in the air, and both fighters moved with extre speed. To the instructor of the first squad, although the examiner was arrogant, his skills were genuinely impressive. After all, being from the regular military, he naturally was the result of rigorous tests. What really surprised him was the warrior nad Aisa, who had always advanced with a flawless victory record. But in this training camp for new recruits, an undefeated streak didn’t really an much. The overall strength of the recruits was diocre at best, and Elsa’s strictly manual-based combat style felt awkward even for the instructor. However, now that she faced the regular military, Elsa’s fighting style had also changed!
It hadn’t beco more flexible but even more rigid!
Now, Elsa fought even more strictly according to the manual’s descriptions, responding to every move exactly as the manual dictated! Such a fighting style would definitely work against another opponent, but she was facing the regular military! The regulars were trained with this very curriculum! They knew the manual by heart!
Sure enough, the examiner dealt with it all with ease, he could even predict Elsa’s next countermove!
"Is this your actual combat experience, Aisa? That’s quite laughable!" the examiner mocked.
"And what about you, Mr. Examiner? Before the battle began, you claid that I was seeking death, yet now what can you do but passively defend and counterattack?" Elsa said with disdain.
The onlookers were taken aback and then widened their eyes.
Indeed! Initially, everyone focused on Aisa, all believing that such an offensive approach was unlikely to defeat the examiner. But this perspective shifted only from Aisa’s stance; when considering the examiner’s position, although he had previously made a bold statent, until now he had actually always been passively responding to Elsa’s attacks and had not mounted any significant offensive of his own!
Enraged by Aisa’s mockery, the examiner imdiately intensified his offense.
But!
Things were not so simple.
Elsa’s attack had not ceased; for the examiner to go on the offensive, he would have to withstand Elsa’s attack and engage in a do-or-die assault with her! But such tactics were only used when one admitted they were less skilled than their opponent, reminiscent of soone desperately fighting even though they knew they stood no chance!
However, while Elsa’s attack thod was rigid and by the book, it was nearly flawless! The transitions between movents flowed seamlessly, leaving no room for retaliation.
Damn it!
The examiner was anxious; his earlier assessnt had not been wrong. This Aisa’s movents were indeed chanical and rigid, but if they beca chanical and rigid to such an extent, he found himself without any ans to counter! Because she was just too precise!
The reason many warriors scoffed at fighting by the book wasn’t that there was sothing wrong with the manuals. In fact, the techniques in the manuals were likely the best. It was because most couldn’t possibly morize every scenario in the manual and apply them in real combat, so most fighters had to improvise during battles.
But Aisa could execute the manual’s techniques with exact precision! She presented them before him in a way that was almost perfect!
While her performance was perfect, his was not. After several rounds of fighting, he was shocked to find himself gradually at a disadvantage, as she systematically closed him off from any possible escape route!
Damn it!
The examiner knew that if he didn’t do sothing soon, he was about to lose.
"Damn it!"
With a loud shout, the examiner decided to take the hit head-on to counterattack.
As the energy sword in the examiner’s hand was about to collide with the opponent’s, he changed its direction slightly, then steeled himself to take Aisa’s strike with the armor on his arm, in hopes of landing his energy sword into Aisa’s chest!
One must know that for The Forgotten Ones, their true weak spot is the chest and abdon area. Even though the armor is thickest there, if an attack targets this spot, it would instinctively make them try to dodge.
Crack!
The sound of the alloy armor being cleaved ca through, Elsa’s energy sword directly severed the examiner’s arm, and the energy sword in his hand also lost its energy supply since the arm was cut off, vanishing without a trace the mont it made contact with Elsa’s armor.
"Textbook, page seven hundred and three, if soone tries to go all out against you at this mont, the only ti they can choose to strike is here; don’t dodge, just chop off his hand, and you won’t get injured."
Elsa loudly read out that part of the textbook.
In fact, nearly everyone had read this passage, but who dared to try it out in actual combat? So, most of the ti, no one tested the truth of these words with their life, yet this warrior nad Aisa had done just that.
If it weren’t for the armor, this warrior would probably have already passed out from excessive anger and embarrassnt by now. His armor beca his last shred of modesty, but he did not know what to do next.
A mont later, another examiner ca over. He patted his shoulder and said, "Hey, I told you, your shoulder injury from the last great battle hasn’t healed yet, and your combat movents are all distorted. Otherwise, how could you make such a big mistake?"
Hearing this other examiner say so, the one with the severed arm just snorted coldly, not continuing the conversation. After all, whether it was true or false, almost everyone knew. It was just an excuse, and no one would be so blind as to actually question its veracity.
"Eh? Is it really true, or does it just look like he was simply outmatched?"
The crowd was shocked; soone actually asked the question!
The voice sounded unfamiliar, and it was unclear who had spoken. However, because it had been very quiet just before, the quick distancing movents of the people around soon isolated the speaker.
Yes, that was indeed Long Yi.
At this mont, Long Yi, in the guise of Henki, stood alone there, while the soldiers of the sixth squad watched him from a distance with a posture of ’I don’t know this guy.’ Because he seldom spoke, his accent was hardly recognized by anyone, but now, everyone in the new recruit camp knew him.
"Oh? Does this new recruit have a different opinion?" The examiner smiled, stepped forward slowly, and approached Long Yi.
"Yes, I think he was simply outmatched, no other reason. He just didn’t have enough strength!" Long Yi maintained Henki’s dull tone of voice as he spoke.
"Who the fuck told you to talk!"
A heavy kick, without any warning, suddenly shot straight towards Long Yi’s chest. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welco to vote for it on Qidian (qidian), your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users please visit m.qidian to read.)
