Chapter 172 (2/2)

“From today onwards, we’ll go through actual combat daily. As per usual, I’ll spar with Duo Ze while the rest of you look for your own sparring partners.”

In sword technique classes like this, which were conducted on a daily basis, the students naturally knew each other very well. Normally, during combat practice, they would look for people who are on a similar level as they were.

Of course, such drills were not meant to facilitate life and death battles, nor was it for them to fight against instructors who were much stronger than themselves. It was just that in such arrangements, the instructor would be able to have control during the combat and thus reduce the chances of injuries.

Thus, when students fought amongst themselves, in order to control the number of injuries, they all swapped to wooden swords to practice with.

Hylong also swapped weapons and, as he held onto six wooden swords, and walked up to a senior student. He called out, “Link, come on! Today, I’ll let you have a taste of my powers!”

The student by the name of Link smiled. After which, arms popped up on his back. To think that his job was also the Six Armed Asura.

Well, the academy only provided seventeen types of jobs in total, therefore it was very common to find an opponent in the same class who cultivated a similar type of martial arts and was of the same job as well.

Hylong looked at this student by the name of Link and broke into a faint smile. Link was one year his junior and his martial arts were weaker than his. However, they shared the same job.

This was why he especially liked to spar with him. Not only would he be able to defeat his opponent, he would also be able to increase his combat experience and find out what his own flaws were.

But this time around, Link had on an extremely confident gaze as he looked at Hylong. He bellowed, “Watch out, here I come!”

The next moment, his six arms and six swords stretched out, each of them lunging toward Hylong with gravitational waves, high temperature, low temperature, electric current, poison, and illusion respectively.

With all six swords of varying sword techniques and extraordinary strength, it was as if there were six Links attacking together at once.

It was obviously a Killing technique which was extremely suitable for those with the Six Armed Asura job.

Looking at this scene, Hylong broke into a faint smile. He had seen his opponent’s Killing technique too many times and could handle it without even opening his eyes. He also stretch out his six arms and, at the next moment, created up to a hundred streams of sword shadows which swept out towards Link.

Hylong’s Phantom Sword Technique was a combination of waves and sword arts. It could give physical form to the sword shadows. When mastered to a high level, one sword could create a thousand shadows with a power akin to a surging river water.

In the past, he had always used this sword technique to utterly defeat his opponent. But this time around, his Phantom Sword Technique was easily received by Link.

And after over twenty moves, the other party seemed to have fully seen through his attacks. His opponent’s six longswords moved about with great ease and broke through all his attacks. Each of his opponent’s attacks had landed on his flaws.

After fifty moves, Hylong’s expression turned extremely pale. He was having great trouble keeping up and it would not be long before he lost.

At the sixty-second move, six consecutive bangs rang out. All of Hylong’s six wooden swords were all sent flying. He looked at Link with a pale face and shouted, “What’s going on? Why… Why is it that you’ve become so good in just a few days time?”

Link smiled, “Why? Didn’t you sign up for Fang Xingjian’s class? I demonstrated your Phantom Sword Technique to Fang Xingjian a couple of times and he had pointed out eighteen major flaws and fifty-four minor flaws to me in total. I am now very clear about all of these flaws.”

Hylong’s body abruptly shook and he bellowed, “That’s impossible! How could there be so many flaws in my sword technique?! I don’t believe it!”

Seeing that everyone had turned towards his direction, Hylong’s face flushed red and he left very quickly.
