Chapter 4: Spear Technique, Score

The spear tip tore through the air, bringing up a sharp whistle.

"So fast!"

"Li Yuan's spear." Most students watched breathlessly, feeling Li Yuan's spear was too fast, crossing several meters in the blink of an eye.

One must know that Li Yuan and Teacher Xu were less than ten meters apart, and the spear in Li Yuan's hand was nearly three meters long. Coupled with Li Yuan's burst speed... the spear tip pointed directly at Teacher Xu's chest.

"Middle-level spear?" Zhou Qi gripped the long spear in his hand, recognizing this move of Li Yuan.

Spear technique has thousands of changes, but the basic spear moves are nothing more than blocking, holding, thrusting, stabbing, hacking, collapsing, pointing, entangling, twisting, etc. All spear techniques are derived from these basic moves.

Middle-level spear can be called the most ordinary move of spear technique, but it is also the most important move.

The so-called middle-level is flat stabbing and straight thrusting, taking the shortest line between two points, the offensive going like an arrow.

It competes on accuracy, speed, and strength.

"Clearly the same move, this spear of Brother Yuan's could probably stab me to death directly." Zhou Qi muttered secretly.

In the arena.

"Straight thrust? Using weapon and strength advantage?" Xu Bo saw Li Yuan's purpose.

There is a saying: "Saber is like a fierce tiger, sword is like a swimming dragon, staff sweeps a large area, spear picks a line."

The staff is shorter than the spear.

In such a straight-line confrontation, the spear must arrive first, and the speed and strength Li Yuan possessed were much stronger than Xu Bo's 5.0 level burst speed and strength.

"Boom!"

Facing Li Yuan's attack, Xu Bo no longer dodged as before, but took the initiative to attack, stepped out, and then the long staff in his hand drew a round arc in the air, lightning-fast whipping on the spear tip, borrowing force to hit force, causing the spearhead direction to suddenly tilt.

Avoided Li Yuan's fierce strike.

"Ssh~!" Li Yuan seemed to have expected it long ago. At the moment the spear body was hit and rebounded, he took advantage of the force, took the waist as the core, suddenly twisted his body to exert force, and the spear body suddenly turned 180 degrees, fiercely hacking at Xu Bo like an ax blade.

This time the two sides were closer, and the burst speed was faster.

"Haha!" Teacher Xu suddenly smiled, as if he had known it beforehand, and retreated backward, avoiding Li Yuan's fierce hack.

"Even this can be avoided?" Li Yuan was slightly shocked in his heart. The teacher's reaction speed was too fast.

Before he could think more.

"Hoo!" A blurry staff shadow had already taken advantage of the long spear's horizontal sweep missing, and smashed over fiercely.

"Retreat!" Li Yuan immediately changed his footwork and retreated violently, while horizontally blocking the spear to try to block this staff strike.

"Boom~" Weapon collision.

Li Yuan didn't feel the strength impact of the other party's long staff, it was as if the long spear was stuck by the other party's long staff.

Very uncomfortable.

Hoo!

Xu Bo suddenly took a step forward, narrowing the distance with Li Yuan again, the long staff in his hand changed and poked over, fast and fierce.

"Swish!" Li Yuan was forced to retreat and dodge. The long spear is a long weapon and must open up space to have enough power.

It was just that what shocked Li Yuan was that even though his movement technique was fine, he just couldn't retreat. Teacher Xu's long staff could always smash over just right, forcing his long spear to be forced to block again and again without being able to exert force completely.

That long staff was sometimes violent, sometimes soft, unpredictable.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The weapons of both sides collided more than ten times like lightning, and Li Yuan had already retreated to the edge of the silver floor.

"Boom~" Another staff shadow swept over, Li Yuan only felt a slight pain in his chest, and his whole body retreated involuntarily.

Retreating several steps, he stopped.

With full armor protection, and Teacher Xu's burst strength not being strong, a training staff strike didn't cause much damage to Li Yuan.

"I lost." Li Yuan held up the black spear in his hand and said helplessly: "Teacher Xu, my speed and strength advantage are so big, yet I couldn't even block twenty moves of yours."

It only shows that the gap in cold weapon skills between the two sides is very large.

Around, there was dead silence.

All the students looked at Li Yuan and Teacher Xu in a daze.

The confrontation time between the two sides was very short, but extremely fierce, as if it were a real battle, and it was not at the same level as the skill tests they had just experienced.

"You already blocked more than ten moves of mine." Teacher Xu heard this, and a smile rarely appeared on his cold face: "Your spear technique is much stronger than in the final exam last semester, and I also went all out to win against you."

Went all out?

Li Yuan sighed secretly. This was only Teacher Xu's full-strength level with 5.0 physical fitness.

If both sides' burst strength and speed were the same, he probably couldn't block three moves.

This is the difference in skill level.

"In the final exam last semester, my spear technique and movement technique were both at stage 2 99%, and I broke through after the exam." Li Yuan thought secretly: "By this inference, Teacher Xu's skill realm is at least at stage 4."

Without other references, Li Yuan didn't know the specific differences between stage 1, stage 2, and stage 3 in the panel.

But he could vaguely judge that the cold weapon skills of the classmates in the class should only have reached the stage 2 level for a very few.

At the same time, Li Yuan was clear about one point.

If his spear technique and movement technique improved, it would definitely be reflected in the panel data.

Tick!

The screen at the back of the classroom had already appeared with Li Yuan's martial arts skill number—"365 points".

"So high?"

"Exceeded 360 points." Zhou Qi's eyes brightened.

"This is college entrance exam difficulty. It's only the beginning of senior year, and Li Yuan's martial arts skill score has risen so much compared to last semester?"

"This kind of single-subject score, placed in the city, is probably the most powerful batch."

"By the time of the college entrance exam, maybe Li Yuan can compete for the city's martial arts skill single-subject champion."

"Li Yuan will definitely be able to get into a martial arts university."

"If my spear technique were as powerful as Li Yuan's..."

"Whoever has yellow urine, come and wake him up."

These classmates were shocked and envious, whispering.

If Li Yuan was only 320 or 330 points, these classmates might be jealous of Li Yuan, because the gap between each other wasn't that outrageous.

But the gap was too big, most people would only admire him.

Most people have self-knowledge. Why be jealous of someone who is clearly not at the same level as themselves?

Besides, martial arts skills are different from physical fitness.

If the family conditions are extremely good, and one can be equipped with special dietitians, physical therapists, and formulate special training plans, and awaken martial arts spirituality oneself... it is hopeful to improve physical fitness to level 7 or even higher in the senior year.

But the improvement of martial arts skills cannot be smashed out just by money.

With the end of Li Yuan's assessment, the time had reached 5:30 PM.

"Okay."

"From today's test, most students have been working hard since entering senior year." Teacher Xu's voice returned to coldness: "But there are also some students who have regressed instead of progressing."

"You are already senior students. The college entrance exam, not to mention determining your life's fate, is at least a major life opportunity... I will come to supervise your martial arts cultivation again tomorrow afternoon. Class dismissed." Teacher Xu turned and left.

Following that, another sentence floated over: "Li Yuan, Wan Xiao, you two come to my office."

Many students' feet were already sore and their bodies were covered in sweat, and upon hearing this, they scattered one after another.

Many boys were drinking water while greeting each other to go to the cafeteria to grab seats.

Some girls discussed going to the bathroom first.

"Brother Yuan, I'll go to the cafeteria with Yan Zhou and the others, and help you grab a seat! By the way, I'll get you a nutritional meal." Zhou Qi shouted.

"Good." Li Yuan smiled and nodded.

Besides Zhou Qi, he had several other classmates he had a good relationship with.

"Li Yuan, let's go." The burly Wan Xiao greeted Li Yuan: "What does Teacher Xu want with us?"

"Looking for you, it should be to transfer you to the elite class." Li Yuan smiled.

As for why he was looking for himself? Li Yuan had a guess in his heart, but he couldn't confirm it yet.

"Looking for you, it should be to transfer you into the elite class," Li Yuan said with a smile.

As for why he was looking for him? Li Yuan had some guesses in his heart, but he still couldn't confirm them.
