What lesson did you learn today?

What he didn't know was that this was the classic redirection of force in Taiji, as the saying goes, "A feather cannot be added, nor a fly land," and Dai Mubai's arm had already been firmly stuck to by Oscar.

Fortunately, Dai Mubai had extensive combat experience and quickly turned to his left, forcibly creating distance.

A glimmer of surprise flashed in his eyes as he looked at Oscar; he clearly hadn't expected this youth, who looked even younger than himself, to be able to catch such a tricky attack and actually force him to retreat!

But he forgot that it was now Oscar's turn to attack, and how could Oscar let him run away so easily?

Turn and Thrust Palm!

Oscar unleashed the Chen Style Taiji 36 Variations, striking toward Dai Mubai's side profile, but it was blocked by the Arm Guard on Dai Mubai's raised left arm, who had become vigilant.

Dai Mubai was increasingly surprised; he could feel that his strength held the upper hand, yet he always felt the rhythm of the battle was being controlled by his opponent.

Every attack he launched was either dodged by the other party or felt like hitting a ball of cotton, unable to exert any force at all!

And how could Oscar not be surprised?

One had to know that Taiji was best at overcoming hardness with softness, combining yin and yang, yet after so many moves, he still hadn't taken down Dai Mubai.

Just how many battles had he experienced?

How could he be so difficult to deal with at only twelve years old?!

Moreover, the opponent's strength was very hard, but it wasn't that kind of violent hardness; it was a condensed hardness!

All his power seemed to be concentrated into the size of a fist, and the instantly erupting shock force made Oscar's solid Taiji foundation surge.

Finally defending against a move, Dai Mubai's eyes lit up; his left arm swept upward to cover Oscar's vision, while his right hand balled into a fist and struck toward Oscar's abdomen.

"Got some skills."

Oscar said, shifting his empty stance backward, his left hand forming a Single Whip Bright Palm, while his right hand formed a Single Whip Hook Hand, waiting for an opening.

After Dai Mubai threw a punch that Oscar dodged with an empty stance, he tried to strike Oscar's head, but Oscar tilted his head to evade it.

"You're not bad either!"

Dai Mubai said, his right leg moving forward to kick at the groin, but Oscar lifted his knee to defend, blocking it perfectly.

Oscar glanced at him, everything understood without words.

Dai Mubai, face calm and breathing steady, retracted his fist to gather strength and countered with an upward elbow strike, but was blocked by Oscar's double-handed push.

When the strike failed, a wicked light flashed in Dai Mubai's eyes, and he retracted the elbow strike to smash it fiercely toward Oscar's chin.

Oscar unleashed the Taiji Wild Horse Parts Its Mane!

His right hand blocked Dai Mubai's heavy elbow horizontally, while his left hand exerted force, backhanding Dai Mubai across his right cheek.

Dai Mubai shook his head, his expression looking terrible.

"You really are good!"

Dai Mubai let out a cold shout and expanded his stance again; this time, his attack was not so simple!

He leaped into the air from the ground, arriving above Oscar in an instant, his limbs stretched out in a strange way. It looked as if he were full of openings, but his limbs were all moving slightly, as if he had infinite follow-up moves.

Oscar quickly retreated, his knees slightly bent, his toes turned inward, his calves exerting force instantly, and his arms spread wide—it was the White Crane Spreads Its Wings!

This strike of Dai Mubai's could be called his signature move; no matter how the opponent blocked or attacked, he had multiple ways to respond. The seemingly vulnerable movements contained profound offensive means, and all four limbs could become sharp weapons.

But in Oscar's eyes, this move had a huge weakness!

That was being in mid-air, unable to borrow force! This was also the reason why traditional martial arts required one to train their lower body well; once knocked into the air by an opponent, it was a huge trouble!

Not knowing all this, Dai Mubai kicked toward Oscar's head with his left foot, only to be blocked by Oscar's right hand, while his left hand thrust upward.

"You!"

Dai Mubai protected himself with both hands, barely blocking Oscar's counterattack, but the soreness still made his eyes turn red, and he rushed toward Oscar rapidly.

"Again?"

Oscar noticed Dai Mubai's eyes turning red and used the Parallel Stance Standing Frame and Covering Hand Crotch Guard to block the knee Dai Mubai raised and the arm he swung down. He followed up with the Silk-Reeling Cross Hands, transitioning into Brush Knee and Twist Step, using his knees to lift his hips, his waist to drive his elbows, and his elbows to drive his wrists, defending with one hand and attacking with the other.

For a moment, he suppressed Dai Mubai, forcing him to retreat and defend!

After chasing Dai Mubai for three or four meters, Oscar used the Taiji Grasp the Sparrow's Tail, the combination of yin and yang giving Dai Mubai a massive headache.

In his panic, Dai Mubai threw another right-handed punch, wanting to find a chance to recover, but was countered by Oscar, who grabbed his wrist and locked it upward!

In pain, Dai Mubai quickly pulled his hand back, but he had suffered a major loss; his entire right wrist was temporarily unusable!

Yet he still gritted his teeth and swung his left fist at Oscar.

Oscar used Four Ounces Deflects a Thousand Pounds, pushing Dai Mubai away and perfectly dodging his attack.

He lightly brushed the dust off his body, looked at Dai Mubai, and smiled slightly.

"Do you want to continue?"

Dai Mubai didn't speak, instead rushing forward again, which made Oscar shake his head; he really wouldn't give up.

Taking advantage of his charge, Oscar instantly shifted behind Dai Mubai, using the Roaming Body Covering Stance, his feet constantly planting roots beside Dai Mubai's.

"Dai Mubai, someone should have told you to go with the flow."

Oscar's voice rang in Dai Mubai's ear, but Dai Mubai could never catch a glimpse of Oscar's figure.

"Alright, go lie down for a while."

Oscar hooked his foot and swung his leg, tossing Dai Mubai straight out.

With a muffled thud, amidst the gasps of the watching students and parents, Dai Mubai's body flew backward instantly. His upper body tilted back, performing a backflip, and he flew a full five meters before landing.

Oscar did not pursue, watching quietly as Dai Mubai landed on the ground, his hands behind his back as he looked at him.

"What lesson did you learn today?"

Dai Mubai's expression was unsightly; he had to admit that in terms of combat technique, he had been completely defeated by this youth who looked like a pretty boy.

"You are very strong, but don't forget, the most important factor influencing a Spirit Master's strength is their martial soul. Please use your full strength next; I hope to have a formal spirit duel with you.

Of course, regardless of how the following match goes, I will join Shrek Academy."

What flowed through Dai Mubai's Evil Eye was not anger or hatred, but a special kind of light. If one had to describe it, the phrase "delighted to find a worthy opponent" fit perfectly.

He looked at Oscar as if he were looking at a stunning beauty, his shoulders trembling slightly as he raised his arms.

Oscar had been to another world and was naturally not some ignorant youth; he felt completely uncomfortable being stared at by Dai Mubai.

But helplessly, if he wanted to recruit this guy into Shrek Academy, it was clear he had to fight another round.

He shrugged his shoulders and walked forward.

"Everyone, step back a bit. Watch your safety and don't get caught in the crossfire."

Oscar said this to the crowd of students and parents watching the spectacle before turning his gaze back to Dai Mubai.

"Since you insist on fighting, then get ready to begin."

Dai Mubai licked his lips...

"White Tiger, Body Shield!"
