Translator: StarveCleric Editor: Millman97
Sparring was not uncommon in the Master Teacher Academies . Frequently, there would be master teachers, who after receiving some inspiration or learning a new battle technique, would challenge a master teacher stronger than them so as to test out their skills and see where they stood .
Facing the challenge from Zhou Ye, the young man named Ruohuan was taken aback for a moment before replying with a slight smile, "I am more than willing to . "
Nodding, Zhou Ye took a deep breath as he began suppressing his zhenqi . It didn't take long for his cultivation to reach Cosmos Bridge realm, the same as the opponent before him .
Zhou Ye smiled . "It seems like that you are skilled in palm strikes, so I won't use a weapon either . Alright, let's begin!"
After which, he flicked his wrist and charged forward with astounding speed .
Despite having suppressed his cultivation to Cosmos Bridge realm, Zhou Ye's movements were incredibly nimble, as if a specter flitting across the battlefield . It was difficult for his enemy to determine exactly where he would strike .
"Not bad!"
Ruohuan's eyes lit up in excitement . He raised his palm and adeptly struck the area right in front of him .
Principal Zhang had once said, if a cultivator panicked before a complex or foreign maneuver, he would be falling into his opponent's trap . He would swiftly be pulled into his opponent's momentum, and it would be extremely hard to turn the tables against his opponent by then .
As such, against moves consisting of many feints, one had to study it closely to peer right into its essence . No matter how complicated the opponent's moves were, there was a limited number of directions in which the opponent could strike from . The best way for one to deal with such a situation was to wait and adapt accordingly .
"Not bad!" Seeing that the other party didn't make a reckless move out of panic, Zhou Ye's eyes lit up in admiration .
Just as the other party had thought, the motive of his move was to lure the other party into action . As soon as the other party moved, he would immediately find the flaw in the other party's movement and strike at it .
Facing Ruohuan's palm strike, Zhou Ye maneuvered nimbly to the other party's side and thrust his palm forward .
He thought that as long as he exerted sufficient strength in this strike, he would be able to force the other party to admit defeat . However, before his palm could land, he suddenly felt a stifling sensation on his chest .
Narrowing his eyes in alarm, it was only in this instant that he realized the other party had already seen through his maneuver and placed a palm right in his path!
In other words, the other party's initial strike had just been a feint to lure him in . As soon as he appeared to make his strike, the other party swiftly launched an assault with the other palm .
Peng!
At this point, it was already too late to dodge . An immense pressure struck his chest and sent him flying from the training ground before crashing onto the street .
"He subdued Zhou Ye in a single strike?"
"Could that man really be the person we are going to assess?"
"That is likely to be the case . Otherwise, how could he wield such great power?"
The group from the Combat Master Hall leaped in shock at that sight .
Liao Song's eyebrows also shot up in astonishment .
He could easily tell from the previous battle that the fellow named Ruohuan was weaker than Zhou Ye in terms of zhenqi strength and reaction speed, but Ruohuan had still managed to easily achieve a victory against Zhou Ye . This showed that he possessed exceptional talent in the field of combat .
Most likely, Ruohuan was the genius that Zhuo Qingfeng had spoken of .
Otherwise, how could he be so powerful?"
At this point, Liao Song pondered for a moment before raising his hand and gesturing . "Hu Chen, go up and test him!"
To confirm the matter, he would have to continue assessing the other party .
"Alright!" Hu Chen nodded before leaping onto the training ground .
"I am awed by your profound moves, so I would like to spar with you as well!"
After saying those words, Hu Chen began suppressing his cultivation .
"Fine by me!"
Nodding, Ruohuan was just about to begin the fight when the young man beside him suddenly stepped forward and said, "Ruohuan, it is rare for us to have such easy opponents to practice with . Will you let me fight him instead? After all, I am the weakest of our group, and even after so long, I am still unable to fully comprehend the essence of Principal Zhang's lecture . This is a good opportunity for me to try my hand!"
Hearing his close friend saying such words, Ruohuan smiled bitterly before nodding in agreement . "Alright then!"
Due to his lacking aptitude for combat, this close friend of his had been lagging behind the others . Due to the power gap between him and the other students, it was hard for him to learn anything in a battle against the others . Perhaps, if he could try his hand against this weakling who had come out of nowhere, he might receive an epiphany that could enhance his comprehension of combat .
Naturally, Ruohuan was the person who had come to the Hongyuan Master Teacher Academy along with Zhang Xuan from the Myriad Kingdom Alliance, Ruohuan gongzi . After training diligently recently, he had managed to advance his cultivation to Cosmos Bridge realm .
Having journeyed with Zhang Xuan from back when they were still in Myriad Kingdom Alliance, he had received Zhang Xuan's guidance on multiple occasions, and this had helped to gain a deep comprehension of combat . On top of that, as one of the founders of the Xuanxuan Faction, he felt the dire need to work harder than anyone, or else he could very well be overtaken by others swiftly . Due to the great effort he had put in, he had managed to make tremendous progress in his eye of discernment and fighting prowess within this period of time .
In his view, these opponents who had popped out of nowhere weren't exactly weak, and their maneuvers were innovative and profound as well, but compared to the insights that Principal Zhang had imparted to them, there was nothing to fear from them .
What Principal Zhang had imparted to them was the foundation of combat, and no matter how grand or majestic a battle technique was, they were built on this very foundation . Ultimately, battle techniques were means to attack another, and as long as there was movement, there would surely be flaws that one could exploit!
Ruohuan felt that his close friend had everything he needed to achieve a victory, all he needed was to internalize Principal Zhang's teachings during combat .
"Easy opponents?" Hearing the conversation between the duo, Hu Chen nearly exploded out of sheer rage .
Pal, open your eyes and take a close look! I am a Chrysalis realm combat master! I am suppressing my cultivation to battle with you! Yet, you said that I am an easy opponent…
He wasn't the only who felt that way . The other combat masters also nearly spurted blood after hearing those words . They had always been existences whose fighting prowess far exceeded their opponents . This was their very first time being looked down on by another like that .
A combat master who couldn't hold back his rage anymore sent a telepathic message over . "Hu Chen, don't go easy on him!"
"I understand!" Hu Chen replied as a savage glint flashed across his eyes .
He had been thinking that he would hold back a little if the other party couldn't cope so as to spare his dignity . But since the other party was acting so arrogantly, he didn't mind teaching him a harsh lesson .
"Let's begin!" Hu Chen said as he beckoned his opponent .
"Un . " The young man on the opposite side nodded before stepping forward . "Principal Zhang has lectured us on the various combat techniques in dealing with certain situations, but I am a little slow on the uptake, so… if I accidentally injure you later on, I hope that you can forgive me . "
"Cut with the nonsense, come!" Unable to take the nonsense his opponent was spouting, Hu Chen pushed his feet against the ground and charged forward as he got into the stance to launch a palm strike .
His movements were large and forceful, giving an impression that he could overwhelm anything in the world .
