293 The More Tools, the Better (2/2)

But Li Lin's action was a feint, and he withdrew his sword midway, took half a step back, and waited for the instant Schuk's sword slashed down. Then, he took a step forward again, and at the same time, with the right leg in front as the center, he turned to the right in a circle. The miaodao in his hand also simultaneously used the momentum of the turn and horizontally slashed forcefully to the right.

This was the most powerful of all the miaodao stances, and its range of attack was also the largest.

Under normal circumstances, as Li Lin was turning, Schuck could've avoided Li Lin's move in time by taking two steps back.

But the problem was that now Schuck was wearing full-body armor and it was extremely difficult for him to move, and he only stepped back when Li Lin's miaodao was about to hit him.

In a hasty decision, he could only hold the blade down vertically, while jamming it on the floor, blocking his right side.

The miaodao that had rotational force added to it struck Schuck's blade heavily, and after a clang, the miaodao in Schuck's hand was knocked away.

He took the opportunity to take a step back, his voice coming through his helmet: ”I lost.”

The miaodao flew several meters away, hitting the wall and rebounding to the floor with a clanging sound.

Li Lin took off his helmet, not at all happy about winning the fight. He frowned and said, ”Schuck, why was your reaction so slow?”

”I can't help it, the full-body armor is too heavy. I'm not used to it.”

Schuck also wore heavy armor in the game, but because of the Body of Light, he couldn't feel the weight of the armor at all.

Although Li Lin's profession was Barbarian, he could unleash one hundred and twenty percent of his combat power without wearing armor.

But occasionally, he still had to wear armor when it was needed.

For example, when the opponent had a bow and arrow formation, not wearing armor would be courting death—it would be strange not to be shot into a hornet's nest.

This was why he was also used to wearing armor.

The members of F6 surrounded them, and Brazil nodded and said, ”Reaction speed does feel a lot slower when wearing armor.”

Raffel said with a smile, ”It's okay, I'm used to it. Who wants to practice with me later?”

They hissed, expressing their displeasure at Raffel's shameless act.

Only someone who was ill would go head to head with a shield Warrior in reality while wearing heavy armor.

On the other side, both Lin Zhaotong and the shield-sword team of five were somewhat stunned.

Although Li Lin and Schuck's fight lasted less than ten seconds, the skill and power that was displayed in it made them feel ashamed.

In contrast, they felt like they were just dancing around with their shields and unsharpened long swords… kind of like when they were in elementary school and got excited after watching a martial arts movie, picking up a stick and making swishing noises, while running around and swinging it.

Li Zhaotong was stunned for a while, then pressed his hands against Qi Shaoqiu's shoulders and said quite seriously, ”You guys must take the field… It'd be best to participate in both individual and team battles.”

”Forget it, they have things to do, they can only take part in the team battles—they won't be here for long.”

Lin Zhaotong said rather frustratedly, ”How can this be… What's more important than gaining honor?”

”Many things.” Qi Shaoqi slapped away the hands pressed on his shoulders unhesitatingly. ”Anyway, it's decided, so you can help out more.”

”Okay.” Lin Zhaotong's eyes shone briefly. ”I'll pull two more teams of new trainees to give them more practice. How about playing a few more matches and then letting them rest for a day?”

Qi Shaoqiu laughed. ”That's how it should be.”

The shield-sword team of five felt a bit of a chill creep down their spines.
