Chapter 54 Sparring
Li Zhi discovered that having someone to teach you and not having someone to teach you are completely different.
He and Ji Baizhi spent only half an hour in the training ground disassembling, demonstrating, and discussing the techniques.
My proficiency in "Jinghong Step" on my panel has already jumped to 15%.
Looking at that line of information, Li Zhi said sincerely:
"Miss Ji, you are a good teacher."
"It's because the young master is gifted and learns quickly."
Ji Baizhi was very modest, then glanced at the sky and said, "Young Master has almost mastered it. All that's left is practice. The best practice is real combat, so I'll take my leave now."
These pointed remarks, along with the complaints in them, clearly indicate that there is still some dissatisfaction and dissatisfaction with Lin Yueyin's continued avoidance.
To this, Li Zhi simply tilted his head and said, "Miss Ji, are you asking me to comfort you?"
"Yes."
Ji Baizhi was now completely unfazed by Li Zhi's teasing; her expression was natural, as if it were perfectly normal.
"Bai Zhi, I'm sorry to have troubled you with my affairs."
Li Zhi immediately got into character and spoke tenderly.
Ji Baizhi was silent for a moment, then shook her head: "Young Master, you sound like a scoundrel when you say that."
"Did I act poorly?"
"It doesn't resemble it at all." Ji Baizhi thought for a moment and gave her a comment: "It's a bit disgusting."
"All right."
Li Zhi waved his hand dismissively: "I'll improve next time."
"No, I'd rather not."
Ji Baizhi immediately objected: "Young Master, it's best to remain the same as before."
After saying that, Ji Baizhi left without giving Li Zhi a chance to speak again.
Once the white figure disappeared, only Li Zhi remained on the training ground.
He turned his head and spoke to the empty courtyard: "Come out, everyone's gone."
It's still very quiet. You tell me to go out, and I'll go out?
Li Zhi thought for a moment and then spoke again: "Didn't we agree on this? Don't you want to hit me just once?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Lin Yueyin appeared without waiting for a moment.
It's clear that she really wants to fight Li Zhi again.
Looking at the other person's expressionless and indifferent appearance, Li Zhi knew that this beating would probably be very severe.
After coming out, Lin Yueyin didn't waste any words. She raised her hand and the long spear from before was back in her hand. She raised the spear tip and aimed the cold light at Li Zhi.
"You're really getting impatient."
Li Zhi shook his head, put his hands behind his back, and struck a nonchalant pose: "Okay, let's begin."
Seeing this, Lin Yueyin did not move. After thinking for a moment, she casually removed the iron spearhead.
Li Zhi admitted that he wasn't as good at showing off as Lin Yueyin. "You're not using a gun, so you're really looking down on me."
In the instant Li Zhi was distracted, Lin Yueyin sprang into action. With her rich combat experience, she wouldn't let the opportunity slip by.
The spear flashes like a dragon!
Even with the spearhead removed and without channeling her true energy, the white waxwood staff in her hand was still so fast that it left only a blurry afterimage, piercing straight towards Li Zhi's chest.
Li Zhi felt a chill and subconsciously used the "Jinghong Step" movement to dodge to the side.
But before he could take even half a step, the gun barrel had already struck his ribs like a shadow.
A soft "poof" sound.
The end of the ash stalk poked him lightly, leaving a small clump of white ash.
"Too slow," Lin Yueyin said coldly.
Li Zhi rubbed the spot that had been touched and smiled wryly, "Was it really necessary to be so harsh?"
"That way you'll remember it better. Also, getting distracted during battle isn't a good habit."
Lin Yueyin retracted her gun and assumed a fighting stance again. "Besides, that phoenix dodged it just now."
Li Zhi had nothing to say, took a deep breath, and waited patiently.
Over the next half hour, Li Zhi finally understood what it meant to be a grandmaster.
Even though Lin Yueyin suppressed her cultivation to the third realm and did not use any true essence or divine sense, she still managed to force him to defend himself and make him look disheveled, relying solely on her spear techniques and her well-honed martial sense.
She moved with lightning speed and unpredictable angles, making the sweeping and powerful moves of the Po Jun Spear Technique seem even more unpredictable and agile in her hands.
Clearly, she wasn't idle while Li Zhi was practicing.
Li Zhi pushed the "Jinghong Steps" to its limit, dodging and weaving, yet he still fell victim to the attacks frequently.
The ash stalks made a series of "thump-thump" sounds, leaving mottled gray spots on his blue robe.
His movements were completely unlike Ji Baizhi's earlier graceful and ethereal movements.
"Was it hard to hide?" Lin Yueyin suddenly asked, but her gun continued to fire without pause.
"What do you think?" Li Zhigang narrowly dodged a sweeping attack, his breathing slightly disordered.
"You saying that makes me feel even more happy fighting." Lin Yueyin's tone was calm, but her movements became even more swift.
Li Zhi gritted his teeth and focused all his attention on the footwork.
At first, he could still focus on calculating the trajectory of his gun, but later, his body reacted almost instinctively—turning to the side, sliding, twisting his waist, retreating…
Gradually, the number of times that elusive white waxwood stick struck him actually began to decrease.
After an unknown amount of time, Lin Yueyin thrust her spear forward. Li Zhi slid half a step to the side like a flowing cloud, the spear tip barely grazing the hem of his clothes, missing completely.
The two of them stopped at the same time.
Li Zhi took a breath and looked down at himself.
Although the surface was still mottled with gray spots, it did manage to dodge the last few attacks.
Li Zhi mentally summoned the control panel and looked at the display.
【The Step of the Flying Swan: A Beginner's Guide (Proficiency 43%)】
"As expected." Li Zhi grinned. "Sparring is the fastest way."
Lin Yueyin holstered her gun and glanced at him: "Still want to practice?"
"certainly!"
"But I'm tired of it." Lin Yueyin casually tossed the gun barrel back onto the rack. "It's pointless to keep pointing at it."
Li Zhi looked at Lin Yueyin and thought to himself: You've learned bad habits from me.
However, well, that's enough. Shikaku isn't as good as Rin Yueyin; he can definitely dodge it with ease.
wrong.
Li Zhi realized something: if he continued practicing, Lin Yueyin might not be able to target him anymore.
After all, it has fallen through several times now.
If things continued like this, it would be very embarrassing, so she gave up directly.
Lin Yueyin was unaware of Li Zhi's thoughts. Looking at the stunned Li Zhi, she felt a little smug. It was quite interesting to leave someone speechless.
Li Zhi had already come to his senses and, seeing that Lin Yueyin hadn't left, directly extended an invitation: "Would you like to see the book on the Demon Queen's critique of cultivation techniques?"
"certainly."
Lin Yueyin nodded. Of course, she wanted to know about her enemy.
The two then walked to the stone benches at the edge of the field and sat down.
Li Zhi opened the booklet and spread it out in the middle.
As the two got closer, Li Zhi realized that Lin Yueyin had no scent at all.
It has no fragrance and no smell of sweat.
She had barely broken a sweat during their sparring session.
Looking at myself, a thin layer of sweat had already seeped from my forehead.
"You don't really have much of a flavor," Li Zhi said casually.
Lin Yueyin looked up at him: "What do you think I should smell like?"
Li Zhi originally wanted to say it was the smell of sweat, but looking into those cold, red eyes, a thought flashed through his mind.
She comes and goes without a trace; if she had a scent, it would probably give her away.
Li Zhi smiled, not continuing the topic, and pointed to the booklet, saying, "Read the book."
