Hard-Pressed to Take Three Moves

Amidst my confusion, their contest came to an end. ♜🍪 ♗😈

Fiora prepared to end the fight with her Blade Waltz, Jax saw her vanish in an instant and quickly surrounded himself with lampposts.

A moment later, Jax's lamppost was knocked away and landed next to the two, but he didn't lose because he snatched Fiora's sword!

"You lost, but in the past two thousand years, very few people have successfully forced me to use this countermeasure."

I don't know whether to be happy or sad. Did you see my figure clearly just now?

"You use precise sword techniques to wear down your opponent's energy. When their attention is focused on your attack, you seize the opportunity to unleash all your strength and strike their weak point, right?"

"I admire your insightful analysis after just one encounter. I admit defeat."

"Don't be discouraged. I was originally a fool, but I've experienced too many battles, which is why I can see things clearly."

So that's what Fiora's Blade Waltz is all about. I sparred with her several times but didn't notice a single clue, but Jax figured it all out in just one fight. She truly is a master of combat.

He then pointed out Fiora's weakness: she was too aggressive, especially with her Blade Waltz move, which seemed flawless but was actually just a bluff.

If the opponent is intimidated and defends with all their might, they will naturally be defeated. However, if they encounter a highly skilled opponent who not only does not defend but also takes the initiative to attack, this move is easily countered.

Jax, an expert in defensive moves, pointed out Fiora's weaknesses and taught her some techniques that greatly benefited her.

"Fiora Laurent Family of Demacia, I'll remember you. I hope you can contribute your strength when disaster strikes in the future."

"Definitely!" Fiora was very grateful.

Jax finished speaking and was about to leave when I stopped him. My question from earlier hadn't been answered yet!

"Weapon Master, wait a moment!"

"Hmm? How did you know I'm a weapons master?" Jax asked, intrigued.

"You're so good at using streetlights, your other weapons must be even more powerful, which is why I call you the Weapon Master."

"Haha, I see. To tell you the truth, I was a blacksmith when I was young. Back then, people did call me the Weapons Master. Now, everyone who knows that title is long dead."

"Actually, I have a question. You said you're looking for someone who can fight the Vastaya, but combat skills alone aren't enough, are they? I've fought them before, and they were extremely difficult to deal with!"

"Very tricky? What methods did you use? Forget it, just get to work with me directly; that way it'll be easier to understand."

Jax didn't explain, but instead told me to just make a move. I didn't know what he meant, but if he didn't use his real skills and just relied on his moves, I wouldn't care!

There's nothing to hold back against this kind of opponent, and I don't need to worry about killing him. I gather a powerful Wind Force and prepare to strike.

"Etc!"

"What's wrong?" Jax suddenly stopped me just as I was about to make my move.

"I see you're quite skilled too. How about this, there's no point in us fighting for a while. Let's settle this in three moves. I'll stay put, and you attack me with all your might. If you move even one step, I lose. How about that?"

"Sure, I don't mind, I just want you to answer this for me."

Jax assumed a defensive stance, waiting for my attack. This time, I didn't rush to make a move. Since he said it would be decided in three moves, I should think about how to defeat him.

I usually think I'm pretty good at various martial arts, but if I were suddenly asked to use my strongest moves, I honestly wouldn't know how to fight.

I drew my Gale Sword and quietly meditated on my strengths: my strongest sword technique was the Laurent Swordplay taught to me by Fiora, my strongest power was the Uniform Strength taught to me by Kled, and my strongest offensive mindset was the judgment ability taught to me by the five masters of Strength Speed Shadow Precision, and precision.

In addition to these basic elements, there is also the combination of power: the powerful Wind Force honed through various adventures, and the control of Spiritual Power after replacing Syndra as the Harbinger.

After these days of adjustment, apart from the fact that I still can't perfectly integrate the Uniform Strength, everything else is basically fine. However, the Uniform Strength is suitable for prolonged battles, and it's not very useful for such clean and efficient combat.

After thinking it through, I made up my mind: I'll use Laurent Fencing Technique as my first move.

I thrust my sword forward, channeling all my strength into my right arm. A fierce Wind Force swirled around the blade. With such meticulous preparation, I felt I could even wound the Vastaya!

Jax has a round body, making it difficult to find a weakness, but that's okay, as long as we can push him back one step!

Having prepared myself, I thrust the Gale Sword forward with lightning speed. Although I knew Jax wouldn't be easily injured, I couldn't help but withdraw some of my power, after all, he wasn't my enemy.

At the last moment, I regretted it. Jax held the streetlight horizontally in front of him, firmly blocking my attack. Then, a little angry, he suddenly swung it at my face.

If I hadn't reacted quickly enough, I probably would have lost a few teeth, and my left cheek is still burning.

"You brat, you actually think you can go easy on me? Do you think I'm not worthy to be your opponent?"

"I didn't mean to, it's just that I find it hard to kill someone who isn't my enemy."

"Should I slap you again?"

"No need, I'm relieved now!"

I stretched my muscles and prepared for the second attack, this time without holding back!

I still used Laurent Fencing Technique, but this time I gathered a stronger and longer-lasting Wind Force, which even made Fiora and the others take a few steps back.

I didn't plan to stab him directly. Although I didn't use my full strength just now, it wasn't far off. I don't think that adding a little more force would be enough to repel him.

In situations like this, try using a strong wind!

I can't summon a gale directly with Uniform Strength like Kled does; I have to rely on the Wind Force, which is a bit of an oddity. However, after condensing for so long, even if it's just the Wind Force, the power it creates in an instant is no less than Kled's gale!

I thrust forward again, Jax finally got serious. He gripped the lamppost tightly and charged forward. The instant our weapons clashed, a fierce Wind Force surged up and rushed directly towards his body!

Instantly, sand and stones flew everywhere, and several trees in the distance were broken, but Jax remained completely still!

That wasn't the scariest part. He seemed even more relaxed than before, completely unconcerned about the Wind Force that followed after catching my thrust!

If he used some other force to resist, I couldn't possibly not have felt it; in fact, it was as if the Wind Force was blowing around him!

This reminds me of a saying: Let him be strong, the breeze still caresses the mountain ridge; let him be arrogant, the bright moon still shines over the great river!

Why is this happening? I was deeply puzzled.
