Zhang Teng naturally had no idea about Lin Bei's little inner thoughts.
At that moment, he sat cross-legged with an emptied mind and began operating the Breath-Absorbing Art to circulate Heaven-and-Earth Spiritual Power, adjusting his own state.
Just as Zhang Teng was adjusting his condition.
The spiritual world within Lin Bei's mind was crazily deducing his combat against Zhang Teng.
Inside the spiritual world, Lin Bei had initially felt that he was already at the third refinement.
The Tai Chi Art had also reached the level of Limit-Breaking.
Defeating Zhang Teng should not be much of a problem.
However, once they actually started fighting, Lin Bei was dumbfounded.
Zhang Teng's combat talent seemed to manifest to an extraordinarily heaven-defying degree during the deduction.
Right at the start of the exchange, Zhang Teng indeed fell into a disadvantage.
Yet as he adapted to the fight, Zhang Teng began to turn the battle around.
After the very first exchange, Lin Bei actually suffered a direct defeat.
This result caused Lin Bei to bluntly call it heaven-defying.
With continuous deductions.
Lin Bei finally began to gradually enter the zone...
Going from being defeated several times at the start to then starting to emerge victorious.
Finally, after thousands of deductions, Lin Bei confidentially opened his eyes.
"Master, I'm ready!"
Zhang Teng's state was explosive; at that moment, he opened his eyes, divine light bursting from them.
"To the Martial Arts Grounds."
Without wasting words, Lin Bei took the lead and walked to the Martial Arts Grounds.
The surrounding apprentices at the Martial Arts Grounds all revealed looks of anticipation.
"It's starting!"
"How many moves do you guys think Senior Brother Zhang can withstand?"
"Who knows? If Master uses the exact same strength as Senior Brother Zhang, I believe Senior Brother Zhang will definitely perform exceptionally well."
"That's right! Everyone has witnessed Senior Brother Zhang's strength; it's simply too formidable."
At that moment.
Lin Bei looked at Zhang Teng and said with a smile, "You are my disciple, so I won't hold back! I will use the exact same strength as yours to fight you."
A sharp glint flashed through Zhang Teng's eyes, accompanied by a trace of pride.
"Many thanks, Master!"
His pride came from Lin Bei's recognition!
In his view, Lin Bei's strength was beyond imagination; even if Lin Bei used strength inferior to his, he still couldn't win.
Now, Lin Bei was sparring with him using equivalent strength-how was this not a form of recognition?
Lin Bei perceived Zhang Teng's pride and had originally prepared to defeat him in a single blow to teach him a lesson.
On second thought, however, he changed his mind.
After all, this was his own disciple... There was no need to crush his confidence.
With this thought in mind, Lin Bei spoke.
"Teng'er, make your move!"
"Alright!"
At this moment, the two of them were separated by about ten meters. The instant Lin Bei told him to attack.
Zhang Teng rushed out like an arrow.
When he was less than two meters away from Lin Bei, cold sweat instantly popped out on his forehead.
Originally, when they were ten meters apart.
He felt that Lin Bei's entire body was riddled with flaws.
Yet as he kept closing in, he unexpectedly discovered that Lin Bei had absolutely no flaws at all!
With no flaws to exploit, how dared he attack?
Therefore, he hastily changed his offense, adjusted his combat stance, and began moving rapidly around Lin Bei.
He decided to seek out Lin Bei's weaknesses and flaws through movement.
His speed was extremely fast, which looked very formidable in the eyes of many apprentices at the Martial Arts Grounds.
However, as he kept moving, Zhang Teng grew increasingly horrified inside!
Because no matter how he moved, Lin Bei merely adjusted his posture with ease-stepping sideways, slightly turning his torso, or turning his head to gaze.
Yet these simple movements alone rendered Lin Bei impregnable and entirely devoid of weaknesses!
It was as if every potential weakness had been blocked off in a split second.
Is this what Master is capable of? This is simply too formidable! How on earth am I supposed to strike here?
Cold sweat poured from Zhang Teng's forehead.
At that moment.
The surrounding apprentices at the Martial Arts Grounds were baffled.
"Tieniu, why do you think Senior Brother Zhang still hasn't attacked? This speed is so fast I can't even keep up..."
Tieniu slapped that person across the shoulder with a heavy palm.
"Xiao Liuzi, what the heck do you know? Senior Brother Zhang might be formidable, but who is he facing? It's Master! Under these circumstances, how can he strike easily? If he exposes a single flaw, it's over!"
Though he looked simple and honest, Tieniu had actually perceived the intricacies of the situation.
"Senior Brother Zhang doesn't dare to strike, which means he can't find Master's weakness."
Xiao Liuzi wore a look of sudden realization.
"Tieniu, since Senior Brother Zhang can't find Master's weakness, can't Master find Senior Brother Zhang's weakness either? Why hasn't Master attacked either?"
As soon as these words were spoken, Tieniu rolled his eyes straight at him.
"Master is testing Senior Brother Zhang!"
After saying that, seeing cold sweat bead on Senior Brother Zhang's forehead, Tieniu couldn't help but offer a reminder.
"Senior Brother Zhang, since you can't find a weakness, why not beat one out?"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Teng was taken aback!
Lin Bei was also slightly stunned; he had not expected that this Tieniu, who usually looked like a simple-minded oaf and seemed to have mediocre comprehension, could actually pinpoint the crux of the problem?
Lin Bei cast a deep look at Tieniu.
He realized that this Tieniu might also be some kind of genius.
Tieniu has possessed boundless divine strength since youth... but his comprehension seemed ordinary. Perhaps I haven't fully unearthed his talent yet.
A thought stirred within Lin Bei... If he could find a suitable path for Tieniu, perhaps he would also become an extremely formidable disciple under his sect.
Right at that moment.
Fighting spirit burned in Zhang Teng's eyes, for he knew Tieniu was right.
No flaws? Then beat out a flaw!
Continuing to search for non-existent flaws was merely a waste of time, so he decided to make his move.
In a flash.
Zhang Teng arrived directly at Lin Bei's rear right.
From an extremely tricky angle, he threw a punch toward Lin Bei.
Yet Lin Bei seemed to possess prophetic foresight.
The moment Zhang Teng attacked, a mere shuffle of Lin Bei's feet and a slight shift not only evaded the attack but simultaneously launched a counterattack straight at his waist.
Zhang Teng was greatly alarmed!
It's over!
He was well aware that he had constantly focused on keeping himself free of flaws, paying attention to it even during his attacks.
He had thought he had no flaws!
Yet the moment Lin Bei moved, during that very exchange of positioning, Lin Bei had forced a flaw out of him.
However, the anticipated heavy strike did not arrive; he merely felt his waist gently brushed by Lin Bei, and the two of them separated.
After a brief daze, Zhang Teng experienced a sudden awakening.
Lin Bei was feeding him moves!
That tap was meant to tell him that the flaw he had just revealed was fatal.
Is this what Master is! He's simply too strong!
Zhang Teng was shaken with awe inside.
Through this feeding of moves, he instantly realized that there was no such thing as a perfect defense or absolute flawlessness.
The moment a fight begins, flaws will emerge, and even if there are no flaws, one can force flaws to appear in others through various means!
Zhang Teng had an epiphany!
He cast a grateful look at Lin Bei.
Lin Bei looked at Zhang Teng with a smile and then nodded at him.
Zhang Teng gave a start.
He understood that Lin Bei was telling him to keep attacking!
More move-feeding?
While overjoyed, Zhang Teng's expression also turned very solemn.
He understood that this battle might very well be the highest-level combat he had ever experienced in his life!
This was a colossal fortuitous encounter!
Zhang Teng's fighting spirit soared to the heavens, and he let out a roar.
"Fight!"
