In the afternoon, the sun was shining brightly, illuminating the Martial Training Ground behind the Dao Academy.
This place is different from the flat and exquisite Spell Arts Practice Ground. The ground is paved with hard black rock, which is covered with mottled scratches and scorched marks, which are medals left by countless battles.
There are stone pillars engraved with runes erected all around, which are the base of the protective formation.
There was a faint air of chilling in the air.
"Stand still for me!"
A thunderous roar exploded in the sky above Martial Training Ground.
The thirty students from Class Three immediately fell silent and quickly lined up.
On the podium, a man as tall as an iron tower was holding his arms across his chest, scanning the bottom with his eyes. His arms were bare, his muscles were taut, his skin was bronze, and there were faint electric arcs flowing under his skin - this was Class Three's actual combat Instructor, Lei Lie.
Next to Lei Lie, stood a young man wearing dark blue robes.
He looked lazy, holding a booklet in his hand, with a faint smile on his lips, and looked at the group of freshmen with a look that was unique to the old students.
"I am your actual combatant Instructor, Lei Lie!"
Lei Lie's loud voice made everyone's eardrums buzz, "The person next to you is the second-year senior Zhang Shan. I have hired you as a teaching assistant today to help you record your results."
Zhang Shan lazily raised his hands. "Hello, fellow junior brothers and sisters. You have to behave well later. If it's too ugly, I won't show mercy."
Lei Lie ignored Zhang Shan's teasing, looked solemn, and said sternly, "Remember! Cultivation is not about treating guests to dinner, it is not about embroidery! When you get on this martial arts stage, the person standing opposite is your enemy!"
"Don't tell me about the friendship between classmates. When we get outside, will Demon Beast talk about friendship with you? Will Bandit Cultivator talk about friendship with you?"
"Today's actual combat, no holding back! Those who are injured are Healer Cultivator, and those who are crippled are Pills. As long as they are not dead, I will beat them to death! Do you understand?!"
"I understand!" All the students were frightened by this momentum and shouted in unison.
"Okay! Let's start!"
Lei Lie pointed casually, "The first group, Jiang Kuo, versus Wang Meng!"
Jiang Kuo took a deep breath and walked on stage with steady steps. His opponent Wang Meng was a tall and thin young man who practiced fire-based skills. He was very explosive at first glance.
"Start!"
Following Zhang Shan's order, the battle broke out instantly.
Wang Meng obviously wanted to seize the opportunity, and started with two Fireball whizzing towards Jiang Kuo.
However, Jiang Kuo was unhurried, stood firm on his feet, shouted in a low voice, and his whole body was instantly covered with a thick earthy yellow halo - "Thick Earth Formula" Protective Spiritual Radiance!
Bang! Bang!
Fireball hit the halo, causing only two ripples before dissipating without a trace. Jiang Kuo's figure only swayed, then grinned and stamped the ground with his right foot.
"Get up!"
The black rock beneath Wang Meng suddenly bulged, and a sharp Stone Spike stabbed out like a poisonous snake spitting a message.
Wang Meng was shocked and rolled to the side in a panic. Before he could stand still, Jiang Kuo rushed over like a tank and knocked him out of the field.
"Okay!" There was a cheer from the audience.
Zhang Shan on the stage nodded slightly and commented while recording. "This fat man has a good family background. Not only does his martial arts match, but the Jade Pendant on his body is also a first-level low-grade Defensive Magical Artifact, right? It's not easy for monks of the same level to break his defense. It's just that this method of fighting consumes too much spiritual power, and he just takes drugs because he has money."
Lei Lie laughed and cursed, "Being able to win is a matter of ability, and equipment is also a type of strength. Next group!"
The next few battles were mostly between Average and Spell Arts.
Chen Shi was really eye-catching when he came on stage.
Although his skills are ordinary and his methods are single, his victory lies in his extremely strong toughness. Like a smelly and hard stone, he exhausts his opponent's spiritual power and finally seizes the opportunity to counterattack and win.
"This guy is a hard-working guy." Zhang Shan took another look at Chen Shi and gave him a fair evaluation.
Soon, it was Chu Bai's turn.
"The next group, Chu Bai, versus...Zhou Tong!"
Upon hearing this name, Chu Bai and Zhou Tong looked at each other, stunned, and then smiled helplessly.
"Okay, roommates." Zhou Tong shrugged, "Brother Chu, let's practice casually?"
"On stage, you are the enemy." Chu Bai smiled and repeated Lei Lie's words, "Please give me advice."
The two came to the stage and stood still.
With the command, the amusement in Zhou Tong's eyes disappeared instantly. He knew very well the terrifying power of Chu Bai, and he didn't dare to overestimate it. He started with his special skill - "Wind Blade Spell".
Whoosh!
Three cyan wind blades whizzed out in a square shape at extremely fast speeds, blocking all Chu Bai's escape routes. Zhou Tong's figure even retreated rapidly, trying to distance itself to fly the kite.
Facing this fierce offensive, Chu Bai looked as calm as water.
He did not retreat but advanced, "Origin Return Formula" was running in his body, and the deep and restrained Spell Power instantly circulated throughout his body. With the blessing of the Proficient Level technique, his Divine Sense was extremely sharp, and the trajectories of the three wind blades were clearly visible in his eyes.
I saw that his steps were light and wrong, and his figure was like a fish swimming through the gaps in the wind blade, unscathed!
"What?!" Zhou Tong was shocked. Before he could react, Chu Bai's fingers had already flicked.
Buzz!
Water vapor condensed in the air, and three nearly transparent "Spirit Water Needle" shot out silently.
These three water needles did not go straight to Zhou Tong's vital points, but were shot at his left shoulder, right knee and center of the eyebrow respectively - these are all key nodes that block his movement!
Zhou Tong was forced to scramble and had to forcefully twist his body to avoid it.
However, at the moment when his old strength was exhausted and new strength was yet to emerge, a figure approached him.
Chu Bai stood half a foot in front of Zhou Tong, with his right palm hovering on his chest. The fluctuations of Spell Power held in his palm without spitting out made Zhou Tong's scalp numb.
As long as this palm is spit out, Zhou Tong will be seriously injured.
There was silence on Martial Training Ground.
From start to finish, it only takes three breaths.
Zhou Tong looked at the palms that were close at hand, smiled bitterly, and raised his hands. "No fight, no fight, I've been completely seen through. I give up."
On the stage, Zhang Shan, who was originally careless, suddenly stood up straight, his eyes full of surprise. "This is... "Guiyuan Jue"? This mana control is so meticulous that there is not even a trace of waste. And his prediction is so accurate, it is like he can see through the opponent's intentions in advance."
Lei Lie's eyes flashed even more, and he turned to Zhang Shan and said, "Did you see it? It's not that Spell Arts is strong, it's that he has a strong sense of combat. This kid has mastered those basic water needles. It's the same Qi Refining First Layer. In terms of controlling the rhythm of the battle, he already has the shadow of you now."
"What a good seedling."
Lei Lie strode up to Martial Training Ground, clapped his hands, and signaled everyone to be quiet.
"Chu Bai wins!"
He glanced at Chu Bai, then at the thoughtful people in the audience, with a playful smile on his lips.
"The warm-up is over. It seems that there are still a few of you weaklings who can fight."
"But where does this go?"
Lei Lie did not announce the end of get out of class, but waved his hand and pointed at the people who had performed well just now, "You guys, don't rush down. What's the point of just fighting with your own people?"
"If you still have energy left, try another round!"
