Aisa had passed the test, but it did not an that Henki would too.
The Group Leader shifted his gaze to Henki, whose reputation had been less than stellar during his ti in the training camp, with ’dull-witted’ being a label consistently attached to his na. However, recently, for so unknown reason, he had burst onto the scene and had even acquired a very sinister greatsword from sowhere. Rumor had it that even the Group Leader had wanted to take a look at Henki’s greatsword, but Henki hadn’t let him!
No matter what’s going on with you, since you’ve been sent to , I must make it clear to you whether you have the strength to stay in my squad or not!
He gestured to a soldier, who imdiately stepped forward.
"Co on, brother Henki, we’ve also been getting bored. Everyone has finished fighting; shall we spar a bit?" The soldier said with a smile.
"Are we still fighting? Didn’t I just win?" Long Yi pretended to ask.
Indeed, the soldier who had just been defeated by Elsa had explicitly stated his intention to challenge both Long Yi and Elsa. Although in the end, he was defeated by Elsa alone, the victory was still nominally Long Yi’s.
"Then let’s play a bit more, shall we?" It seed his opponent had a good temperant.
"Sure, you won’t withstand my three moves anyway, bring it on." Long Yi said, drawing the greatsword he had just stashed back in private space.
The soldier in the cockpit’s enormous single eye widened in surprise. He thought this Henki guy really must have screws loose in his head, daring to spout such bold words like ’three moves’? Who do you think you are facing? A child walking the streets in civilian armor?
"Alright, here’s the deal, I’m giving you thirty moves, and I won’t attack. If you can touch once within these thirty moves, you win," said the soldier.
"No need, no need, that’s too unfair to you. You don’t seem that strong either; I’ll just stick to three moves," waved off Long Yi.
"Hehehe, hahaha! Alright, alright, alright! Three moves it is! I’ll be watching closely!" The soldier gripped his energy sword tightly, just waiting for Henki’s three moves to finish so he could give him a painfully morable lesson!
"Then, are you ready for my first move? Here it cos!"
Boom!
Almost with a roaring sound, one Henki was still standing in his original spot, while another Henki had already charged out! His speed was astonishing!
"Damn it!" Long Yi’s opponent imdiately sensed sothing was wrong and hurriedly dodged to one side. But the Henki who had been standing still just vanished, and another avatar split off from the Henki who was charging!
"Second move!"
Two greatswords nearly simultaneously grazed the soldier’s armor, and in the most critical mont, his excellent reaction saved his life. But the two avatars didn’t split again; instead, they turned around on the spot.
"Third move!"
A reverse follow-through slash!
Crack!
Two greatswords, one cutting off the soldier’s helt, the other shearing through his legs!
After the strike, one avatar disappeared. And Long Yi was standing still in his original place.
Bang!
The tal armor sprung open urgently, ejecting the soldier inside.
The fluid sequence of three moves was without a single flaw, and the onlookers hadn’t even realized what had happened before the fight was already over.
"See, I told you, three moves," Long Yi said as he put down the greatsword.
Everyone, including the Group Leader, was flabbergasted.
Because Long Yi had just used Doppelganger Slash! And that was sothing that regular soldiers only started to train with! But this Henki, who had just erged from the training camp and had been called an idiot not so long ago, how could he use Doppelganger Slash! And to use it so flawlessly!
Long Yi could use Doppelganger Slash because he had learned it. With La Sang’s help and Long Yi’s talent for combat, he had already mastered most of the common techniques of his race. Doppelganger Slash was indeed a relatively low-level combat technique, but it was perfect for creating psychological pressure.
"So, what’s next?" Long Yi asked directly as everyone seed frozen in place.
"Cough, cough, I think I’ve got a good grasp of your capabilities now. But I’d like to know, where did you learn Doppelganger Slash from?" asked the Group Leader.
"I saw an examiner use it once during training camp. And then I saw it a few more tis just now. Because their movents were very slow, I managed to learn it," Long Yi said.
"Don’t joke! You’re saying you learned it just by watching do it a few tis?" The soldier who had just been defeated by Elsa didn’t believe it—especially since Long Yi had emphasized that their movents were very slow, which he found intolerable.
"Not just watching you a few tis; didn’t I say? The examiner at the training camp had perford it once too," Long Yi said very earnestly—as soone pretending to be a fool should.
"Fine, if that’s the case, if I perform so techniques, can you learn them imdiately?" The soldier jumped out again.
"I guess I could," Long Yi said.
"Fine, I’ll perform, and you learn! If you can’t, then roll back to training camp!" The soldier shouted.
This was the so-called prejudice. If Henki, whom Long Yi was playing, had been a regular guy, his victory with such strength would have imdiately earned him respect as a powerhouse. But in everyone’s minds, Henki was firmly established as a fool. A fool could not possibly be a powerhouse. So your current victory must not be true strength; it must be re luck!
Under the influence of such a mindset, the soldier jumped out.
"This move is called Crescent Slash!" shouted the soldier, as his energy sword drew an arc in the air, creating a slender, crescent-shaped energy slash. The energy flew across the training field at extre speed and struck the distant tal target, leaving a trail of energy.
Long Yi nodded; this move was not much different from Dragon Wing Slash, just with different energy use. He had already learned how to perform it from La Sang. But just watching once and learning seed less reliable, so Long Yi earnestly repeated the sa motion. Of course, nothing happened.
"Hahahaha! What’s wrong? Can’t you learn it?" The soldier imdiately burst into laughter.
"How long did it take you to learn it originally?" Long Yi retorted.
Three days, and hundreds of attempts.
The soldier thought so, but of course, he couldn’t voice that aloud.(To be continued. If you like this work, you are welco to vote for it on Qidian. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please visit m.qidian to read.)
