"Weapon?"

Hao Yi was taken aback, "Why did you suddenly think of learning weapons?"

"I heard that weapons are a bonus item in the Military Academy's assessment, so I thought I'd learn it in advance, so I might get extra points in the future."

Li Fei explained.

"Okay."

Hao Yi nodded, "Before the advent of Implants, Martial Warriors of the past mainly practiced weapons, because fighting with people, bare hands and weapons are completely different in combat power. Even an ordinary person with a knife has a chance to hurt a trained expert.

Later, with the emergence of Implants, the upper limit of Martial Warrior's combat power became higher and higher, and the development of martial skills gradually shifted towards unarmed combat, because for high-level Martial Warriors, their bodies are the strongest weapons. There is no difference between unarmed combat and using weapons. Sometimes the quality of the weapons can't keep up, they can't withstand the force, and they break after a few collisions. It's better to use bare hands."

Li Fei nodded, recalling his previous life's traditional martial arts, which were actually mainly weapons-based.

Hao Yi continued, "But for low-level Martial Warriors, having a good weapon is still very advantageous, so the Military Academy regards weapons as a bonus item. If you want to practice weapons, I suggest you practice the saber or staff, because these two weapons are easy to master quickly. As for the other weapons, such as swords, spears, whips, etc., it's basically unrealistic for you to achieve results in a short period of one year."

Li Fei had told him before to 'seize every minute', so now his plan for Li Fei is entirely based on trying to get a university place within a year.

"Student wants to practice the saber."

Li Fei didn't hesitate much and made a decision.

The saber is more convenient to carry than the staff, and its lethality is also greater. In addition, the weapon he mainly practiced in the Conflict Mitigation Department of the vocational school was also the saber, so he chose to practice the saber.

"Okay, starting today, you will replace your physical training time with two hours of saber practice every day."

Hao Yi said, "After the Body Breaking Stage, your physique will be significantly enhanced, and you don't need to specifically practice physical fitness anymore."

"Okay."

Li Fei nodded in agreement.

Next, the two continued their training as usual. After finishing the afternoon's Qi circulation training and anti-strike training, Hao Yi asked Li Fei to reopen a training room.

This training room was very empty, with various weapons placed on the weapon racks along the walls.

This is a training room specifically for sparring.

Hao Yi took two wooden sabers from the weapon rack and threw one to Li Fei, "You've already learned the basics of saber techniques in vocational school, show me what you've got."

"Okay."

Li Fei caught the wooden saber, held it in one hand, dragged the saber behind him, then stepped forward and slashed upwards with a backhand draw.

Pa! Hao Yi casually slashed from the upper left to the lower right, intercepting Li Fei's wooden saber in mid-air. Li Fei felt a shock in the wooden saber in his hand, as if it had hit a thunderbolt, and the wooden saber almost slipped out of his hand.

He quickly stabilized the saber, but before he could continue to strike, Hao Yi had already flipped his wrist and slashed a second time from the lower right to the upper left with a backhand.

Li Fei was a beat slower in his movements because he had stabilized the saber first. He didn't have time to raise his saber to block, so he could only retreat, but he still couldn't outpace Hao Yi's saber, and the tip of the saber pressed against his chin.

"Again."

Hao Yi took a step back, signaling Li Fei to attack again.

This time, Li Fei switched to holding the saber with both hands, holding the saber slowly forward, and then suddenly leaped forward, switching to holding the wooden saber with one hand, bending forward, sending his right shoulder forward, and stabbing the wooden saber fiercely towards Hao Yi's chest.

Hao Yi also sent the wooden saber in his hand forward, and then suddenly flipped the saber, using the back of the saber to knock against the stabbing saber, pushing Li Fei's wooden saber to the right side of his body, and then using the blade to stick flat against Li Fei's blade, pressing the saber forward quickly! Li Fei was shocked. In order not to be cut on the wrist, he could only release the saber and retreat.

The next second, the wooden saber in Li Fei's hand fell to the ground, and Hao Yi sheathed his saber.

"I roughly know your level."

Hao Yi said, "How did you feel about those two moves just now?"

Li Fei recalled the two moves Hao Yi had used just now and said:

"The first move has a rolling force, and the first collision is the key; the second move has a pushing force, and the key should be the grasp of timing, so that the opponent doesn't have time to react."

"Okay."

Hao Yi nodded, "The two moves just now are called the Rolling Thunder Stance and the Mountain-Pushing Stance. The force is like rolling thunder, and pushing the saber is like flattening a mountain. These two sentences are the mental formulas for these two saber moves. When you practice the saber next, you only need to practice these two saber moves well enough to deal with most situations."

"Please teach me, teacher."

Li Fei saluted Hao Yi.

It was after 8 p.m. when Li Fei returned home.

Because he had a foundation in swordsmanship for three years, he practiced with Hao Yi for more than three hours and initially mastered the Rolling Thunder Stance and Mountain-Pushing Stance. Next, he needed to practice more and have enough comprehension to truly master swordsmanship.

Because he had an appointment with Liu San'er, Li Fei didn't do the embryo nurturing training first. He took his things and quickly went out. After changing his clothes, he arrived at the gate of Qingyuan Fist Fortress.

Liu San'er, as before, was already waiting there.

"Did you get the information?"

Li Fei resumed his Blue-Faced Ghost's aloof persona and went straight to the point upon meeting.

Liu San'er nodded, "Got it. The Dragon General for the Dragon-Tiger Fight in half a month is Ling Yong, one of the popular boxers in the Heaven Grade Boxing Ring, a Body Breaking Stage peak Martial Warrior, and is good at using the staff."

"A Body Breaking Stage peak Martial Warrior?"

Li Fei was stunned.

Because he hadn't reached the Body Breaking Stage himself, Hao Yi hadn't told him much about Martial Warriors in the Body Breaking Stage. He only knew that at this stage, the Implant would replace some of the Martial Warrior's body tissues, allowing the Martial Warrior to possess abilities far beyond ordinary people.

"The Body Breaking Stage is roughly divided into three stages. In the early stage, you can only use the power of the Implant two or three times in a short period. In the middle stage, you can use it more than a dozen times. In the later stage, you can use the power of the Implant continuously until your physical energy is exhausted,"

Liu San'er explained to Li Fei.

"Ling Yong's Implant is the relatively common first-grade high-quality Tiger Stripes. The limbs he chose to implant are his arms. When he uses the power of the Tiger Stripes, red and black stripes will appear on his arms, and his arm strength will greatly increase. The Black Steel Coiling Dragon Staff he uses weighs ninety-seven pounds. When he activates the Tiger Stripes, he can easily wield the long staff with one hand.

Ling Yong can maintain his strength for about three to five seconds each time he uses the Tiger Stripes. It is rumored that he is only one step away from breaking through to the Qi Transformation Stage, so he is said to be a peak Body Breaking Stage Martial Warrior."

After listening to Liu San'er's introduction, Li Fei pondered for a while.

Wielding a ninety-seven-pound weapon with one hand... The most powerful weightlifting champion in my previous life might be able to lift such a heavy object with one hand, but definitely couldn't wield it easily, let alone use it for battle. This Ling Yong's strength is indeed terrifying after using the Implant.

However, the other party's Implant is a strength type, which is better at offense, which is a good thing for Li Fei, who has the Myriad Blood Bead.

Although the other party's strength sounds very powerful, being a leader among those in the Body Breaking Stage, if he is cut with a knife, he will still bleed. He is not invincible.

"Have the candidates for the other two Tiger Generals been confirmed?"

Li Fei asked.

Liu San'er nodded, "It has been confirmed. Both of them are experts in the Earth Grade Boxing Ring."

"Do you have information on these two Tiger Generals?"

Li Fei continued to ask.

His cautious personality made him want to fully understand not only his opponents, but also his teammates before making a decision.

"Yes, I do."

So Liu San'er gave Li Fei a detailed account of the two Tiger Generals.

After listening, Li Fei looked at him:

"Go tell Sister Hua, I'll take this match!"
