Chapter 258: Chapter 103 Battle with Xing Yun_2
So strong!
No, it’s not that the opponent’s staff is too heavy, but rather my own spear is too light, and they’re stronger than !
Instructor Xing Yun’s staff technique fully embodies the principle of “overwhelming force and heavy impact.” The mont he made his move, the gap in strength between the two was evident.
If I can’t overpower him, I’ll have to outwit him!
Lin Su’s eyes flashed with resolve as he quickly ford a plan. In the blink of an eye, he changed his one-handed grip on the spear, fiercely grabbing the middle of the shaft with his other hand to stabilize the trembling weapon. He then forcefully twisted in the direction of Xing Yun’s deflection.
Seizing the montum of the staff’s deflection, the long spear quietly twisted in the air, tracing a silvery arc. Lin Su borrowed Xing Yun’s own force to maneuver it. After spinning midair, the spear shot straight toward Xing Yun’s face with a piercing whistle, arriving in an instant!
What a move, turning a thrust into a slash!
Xing Yun’s pupils shrank slightly, as Lin Su’s fierce change of tactic caught him off guard. However, his reaction was incredibly swift. The motion of holding the tip of the staff in one hand and the middle in the other swiftly changed, with the hand in the middle suddenly reaching for the other end of the staff.
With a powerful exertion from both hands and a loud shout, Xing Yun raised the staff horizontally above his head. Amid the thunderous clang of tal, he blocked Lin Su’s powerful slash.
The staff trembled slightly under Lin Su’s strike, but Xing Yun’s grip on both ends was as immovable as a boulder, pressing down firmly on the staff to prevent the spear’s blade from advancing further.
As the vibration traveled down the shaft to Lin Su’s palm, in that mont, the base of his thumb couldn’t withstand the shock and burst open a bloody wound. Fresh blood seeped onto the tightly gripped shaft, the stinging pain making it difficult for him to maintain his grip and causing the spear to beco slippery with blood.
The body he inhabited in this world was of rely ordinary human strength. In such intense combat, although his spearmanship had not failed, his body was beginning to falter under the strain.
“Clank!”
With a crisp sound, the bright silver spear in Lin Su’s hand was casually deflected by Xing Yun, flying out and embedding itself in the ground nearby. The razor-sharp blade pierced the earth of the courtyard, vibrating slightly and casting dazzling silver light.
On the shaft of the spear, a blurry blood handprint looked startlingly grim, with traces of blood still slowly flowing down towards the blade as it quivered.
From start to finish, this spar lasted only two rounds. If asured in ti, it was less than ten seconds.
Lin Su was utterly defeated.
“Your physical condition is too poor,” Xing Yun said as he casually retracted his staff, looking at Lin Su, whose right hand was naturally hanging by his side, dripping with blood, “Usually, those who practice spearmanship for a long ti develop calluses on the base of their palms and other areas, which prevents such fragility.”
“But you don’t have any, so when you sparred with , your hands tore easily. Furthermore, your strength is average, at best that of an ordinary person. There’s much room for improvent.” Xing Yun glanced at Qiuqiu and the other pet rapidly approaching Lin Su’s side, “Let’s call an end to this spar. Your physical fitness limits your spearmanship.”
“Rest for an hour after lunch, then we begin the afternoon training!” Xing Yun addressed the approaching team mbers and then, carrying his staff, moved to a corner to silently continue practicing his staff technique.
A hint of regret showed in his eyes.
They had only exchanged a few moves, but from Lin Su’s skillful change in technique in that instant, Xing Yun still could see the young man indeed possessed quite impressive spearmanship.
It was a pity that the gap in strength between them was too great. He wanted to learn more of Lin Su’s spearmanship through sparring, but that would likely be impossible.
“Lin Su, are you alright?” Zhang Xiaoyu hurried over, quickly ordering Healing Spore to use Life Spore to treat Lin Su’s wounded palm.
Under the action of Life Spore, Lin Su’s wound visibly healed at a remarkable speed.
Even though it was only a first-tier Life Spore, it was a transformative skill of Healing Spore, with a more potent healing effect.
“I’m fine.” It wasn’t until now that Lin Su regained his composure. He shook his head, touched Qiuqiu gently with his unhurt hand—they had been anxiously watching him, worry written all over their face—and took his spear back from the other pet, “It’s just a minor injury, don’t worry.”
His injury wasn’t serious. It was rely a minor wound from his hand base giving way under excessive force.
Seeing that Lin Su was indeed unhard, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief and returned to their dormitories to rest briefly, waiting for the afternoon training to comnce.
After treating Lin Su’s injured hand, Zhang Xiaoyu also left with Healing Spore.
Lin Su glanced at Xing Yun, still swinging his staff under the scorching sun on the other side of the courtyard, then looked towards his pets with a light chuckle, “Let’s also head back to the dormitory for a rest.”
His wounds were not heavy, but he had made his pets worry for a while.
Leading his pets into his own dormitory, Lin Su’s eyes brimd with thoughtful expression.
Xing Yun wasn’t wrong. Those who regularly practice martial arts tend to have many calluses on their hands, providing shock resistance, desensitizing the hands so they don’t numb easily from the clash of weapons, and also offering a certain level of protection against injury.
