Where Does the Wind Come From, and Why Does Bamboo Burn?

The next morning.

Godwind Academy's temporary training area.

Yu Feng stood in the center of the arena.

He didn't look well.

Why should I fly first?

Feng Xiaotian sat on a tall pillar.

"Because you lost."

When did I lose to you?

"He didn't say he lost to me."

Feng Xiaotian laughed:

"Your team entry assessment was disrupted twice by ground tremors."

Spreading its wings, Yu Feng.

"That's a rule restriction."

Dong Jian stood on the sidelines.

I did not join the debate.

He's used to it.

Yu Feng always talked about that assessment.

They always emphasize the rules first.

Feng Xiaotian leaped down from the tall pillar.

The airflow supports the body.

"We're not competing to win or lose today."

Practice only one thing.

"Before the flight direction changed."

What changes will occur in the body first?

He looked at Dong Jian.

You're in charge of making the judgment.

Then he looked at Yu Feng.

"You're responsible for proving that his judgment wasn't quick enough."

Yu Feng snorted.

"This is something I'm good at."

Training begins.

Yu Feng, it ascended into the low sky.

The first round uses only basic flight techniques.

Do not unleash your Soul Skill.

Dong Jian closed his eyes.

Listening to the Wind to Discern Position.

The airflow on the left side is strengthening.

The right wing surface retracts.

Yu Feng seemed to be preparing to turn right.

Dong Jian lifted his right foot.

No real Short Tremor occurred.

Only provide the direction.

"Right rear."

Yu Feng suddenly swayed to the left.

It swept over Dong Jian's head.

"Wrong."

He landed on the other side.

"I deliberately let the sound out."

Feng Xiaotian said:

"Just listening to the wind isn't enough."

"Flying-type abilities can create turbulence."

"Look at the shoulders."

Round two.

Dong Jian opened his eyes.

Flying forward on the Yu Feng.

The right shoulder is slightly lowered.

However, the waist did not rotate.

Dong Jian did not speak.

Continue Yu Feng in a straight line.

The next breath.

Raise your left shoulder.

First, twist your waist to the right.

"Right."

Dong Jian said.

As expected, the Yu Feng blew to the right.

However, it forcibly increased its altitude midway through the turn.

"The direction is correct."

"High degree error."

They landed on the Yu Feng.

You won't encounter that in actual combat either.

Dong Jian did not deny it.

Feng Xiaotian walked into the center of the arena.

Ground-based Soul Master like to visualize flight paths as a line.

Actually, no.

"Flight involves constantly choosing airflow."

Direction, altitude, speed.

"Any change can invalidate your judgment of the landing point."

Dong Jian asked:

So you need to check three at the same time?

"It's not possible right now."

Feng Xiaotian answered.

First, determine what the other party most wants to protect.

"Yu Feng prefers to maintain his speed."

Therefore, they are unwilling to significantly reduce altitude when turning.

"I'm more used to maintaining the angle."

"It will change wind direction when attacked."

Yu Feng frowned.

Why did you reveal my habits?

"Because you should change too."

Feng Xiaotian said.

"Too easy to understand."

Yu Feng rebuts:

"Let him touch you first."

"Can."

Feng Xiaotian turned to Dong Jian.

"Ten breaths."

"This time, Yu Feng can help you."

Yu Feng was taken aback for a moment.

Should I help him?

"You're compressing the route from above."

He judged the landing point from the ground.

Let's see if our air-to-ground coordination can reach me.

Dong Jian looked at Yu Feng.

Yu Feng was clearly unwilling.

But Qin Ming stood at a distance.

They're looking right here.

"Let's make this clear first."

Yu Feng said:

If we run into them, we win.

"Your inability to identify it is due to poor judgment."

Dong Jian nodded.

"Can."

Ten breaths to begin.

Feng Xiaotian ascended into the sky.

Yu Feng pursued from the left.

They did not launch a full-scale attack.

Only by continuously compressing the Feng Xiaotian's usable route.

First breath.

The Feng Xiaotian rises.

Following the Yu Feng.

Third breath.

Feng Xiaotian suddenly descended.

Dong Jian did not trigger Short Tremor.

Because Feng Xiaotian's shoulders were still exerting upward force.

The decline is false.

The fifth breath.

Feng Xiaotian turned right.

The Yu Feng will block the attack from the upper right.

This time.

Feng Xiaotian's waist turned to the left.

His toes, however, were pointing to the right.

Dong Jian lifted his foot in advance.

"Bottom left."

Short Tremor fell.

Thump!

The shockwave struck the ground where Feng Xiaotian was preparing to use it for leverage.

He didn't actually land.

However, it was forced to change its low-altitude gliding angle.

The Yu Feng immediately cut in from above.

The wingtip brushed against Feng Xiaotian's sleeve for the first time.

Eighth breath.

Feng Xiaotian broke free from the pincer attack.

It rose again.

The ten breaths have ended.

Dong Jian didn't run into him.

A faint mark appeared on her sleeve.

After Yu Feng, he looked at the mark.

"Whose share is it?"

"Consider it cooperation."

Feng Xiaotian said.

No one won.

Yu Feng was just about to retort.

Feng Xiaotian had already looked at Dong Jian.

"You've started to learn how to make the flight department feel like it has no comfortable direction."

"But don't rush to conclude that the Short Tremor has reached its final position."

"Land where the opponent must change their move."

"Force him to reveal his true intentions."

Dong Jian wrote down this sentence.

This is similar to Li Man's approach to controlling choice.

It doesn't necessarily have to be a direct hit.

Deprive the other party of their most comfortable option.

It can also create opportunities.

Train the other side.

Huo Wu arranged the three bamboo shadows in a row.

The first ordinary bamboo rattan.

The second one features a golden dragon pattern.

The third one was covered with a layer of venom diluted by Dugu Yan.

Li Man stood beside her taking notes.

"Start."

Huo Wu raised her hand.

A flame landed on each of the three bamboo shadows.

The first one burns the fastest.

It lost its structure in less than two breaths.

The second one lasted longer.

The dragon-patterned area can temporarily prevent the flames from spreading inward.

The third one is the strangest.

The venom evaporates rapidly upon contact with fire.

It forms a layer of irritating smoke.

The bamboo shadows themselves were still burned.

Huo Wu took half a step back.

"This can't be used next to teammates."

Dugu Yan stood in the distance.

"Nonsense."

"The poisonous fog wasn't meant for you to inhale."

The Huo Wu dance dispersed the smoke.

"Can your poison slow down the burning?"

"Some poisons can."

Dugu Yan said:

"But my Soul Power isn't fire-resistant."

Li Man squatted down to inspect the remaining bamboo roots.

"The venom cannot protect the core of the formation."

"But it can alter the area behind the flames."

Huo Wu asked:

Are you going to use a cigarette to block your view again?

"Not only."

Li Man brushed away the charred surface.

A small section of the underground root system remains intact.

"The flames will burn away the surface of the earth."

"It will also make the location of the formation's focal point more obvious."

"If I deliberately let the bamboo shadows on the ground burn."

"The underground roots can withstand another wave of induction."

Huo Wu raised an eyebrow.

"You want to leave false defensive points in the fire?"

"A fake formation to draw attacks."

"The true roots remain underground."

Li Man said.

"But the combustion sequence needs to be controlled."

Huo Wu crossed her arms.

"Then let's continue."

Round four.

Li Man arranged the five bamboo shadows in an irregular position.

Two of them were just empty shells.

Huo Wu must identify the true core of the formation.

The flames spread from the left.

The first bamboo shadow quickly burst into flames.

The second one showed fluctuations in Soul Power.

Huo Wu immediately increased her firepower.

But that one was fake too.

The true Mobile Formation Eye shifted from the right side, taking advantage of the heatwave as cover.

"You deliberately let your Soul Power float on the surface?"

Huo Wu asked.

"Right."

"Waste."

"It's more economical than just burning down the main formation."

The two tested each other continuously for an hour.

There is no formal Soul Fighting.

There was no winner or loser.

However, he had a clearer understanding of the structure of his opponent's abilities than in their last encounter.

Huo Wu discovered.

Li Man was not fixated on preserving the bamboo.

Bamboo can be burned.

fracture.

They might even deliberately expose themselves.

Even the remaining roots, smoke, and scorch marks can provide some route information.

It still belongs to the category of formations.

Li Man also discovered this.

Not all fires in Huo Wu are the same.

The firewall needs to be maintained.

The Naruto series is more agile.

The prototype of the Blazing Sun array has the highest temperature, but it requires significant energy concentration.

The Repelling Fire Ring may not burn the bamboo shadows, but it can directly destroy the formation structure.

At lunchtime.

Several colleges are temporarily sharing the cafeteria.

Huo Wu sat down opposite Li Man, carrying her tray.

"Continue this afternoon."

Li Man looked up.

"Not a team debriefing?"

"After reviewing the situation."

Huo Wu said:

"I plan to shorten the Blazing Sun Compression Time by one breath."

"Find me the position where I'm most easily interrupted."

Dugu Yan sat beside her.

"You let your opponent modify your Soul Skill?"

"She's also using my fire to modify the array's core."

Huo Wu asked in return:

What's the problem?

Dugu Yan looked at Li Man.

"You agreed?"

"Testing each other."

Li Man said.

She shortened the condensation time.

"I've improved the accuracy of deflecting fireballs."

"Then she'll be even harder to beat next time."

"It's also harder for me to be burned out."

The two spoke as if it were perfectly reasonable.

Dugu Yan remained silent for a moment.

"Are all Control System this complicated?"

Huo Wu looked at her.

"The same to you."

Another table.

Yu Feng continued to recount the training session that had just taken place.

"The last thing I did was run into Feng Xiaotian."

It's not Dong Jian.

Osler was eating.

"No Short Tremor from Dong Jian."

He'll go straight past you.

But it was me who ran into him.

So you won?

Yu Tianheng asked.

The Yu Feng stopped.

"At least it proves I'm closer to him than the people on the ground."

Dong Jian sat beside him without arguing.

Feng Xiaotian then took the last piece of meat from the plate.

"To be continued tomorrow."

Yu Feng, I saw an empty plate.

"That's mine."

"Flies slowly."

"He eats slowly too."

Feng Xiaotian got up and left.

Yu Feng immediately caught up.

There was no tension like in a fighting ring in the cafeteria.

Competition continues among the colleges.

However, this does not hinder training, debating, and dismantling techniques.

afternoon.

Qin Ming announced the final team competition match.

Heaven Dou Royal Academy vs. Blazing Fire Academy.

Five against five.

Imperial Fighting Team Appearance:

Yu Tianheng.

Dugu Yan.

Dong Jian.

Li Man.

Yu Feng.

There are no Shi Brothers.

Ye Lingling is not there.

There is neither treatment nor pure defense.

Qin Ming looked at the five people.

You've learned a lot these past few days.

Let me see tomorrow.

"Can what I've learned be applied in real team battles?"

Huo Wu stood not far away.

I also saw the list.

She pointed at Li Man.

There are no circles this time.

"It's a draw if the incense doesn't burn out completely."

Li Man put the list away.

"Perfect."

Yu Feng then looked at Feng Xiaotian.

Aren't you going to appear?

"The exchange with Godwind has ended."

Feng Xiaotian laughed:

I'm watching from the sidelines.

"Let's see if you two can only coordinate during training."

Dong Jian looked down at his legs.

The right leg is stronger.

My left leg is more stable now.

The Mountain-Shifting Step has not yet truly taken shape.

But tomorrow.

He needs to be in a situation where there is both fire and air at the same time.

This prevents fluctuations from occurring in only one location.
