Chapter 104: Training and New Plants

"Alright, these are the basic points of blocking, parrying, and thrusting. Now, I will demonstrate it once." After saying this, Zhu Zhiquan picked up the Xuangang Spear and demonstrated it in the passageway.

The Durian Warrior watched very carefully from the side, and once Zhu Zhiquan finished the demonstration, the Durian Warrior couldn't wait to replicate it.

"No, that's not right. Look at my waist. Remember, it is your waist that drives your arms, understand? Come, I'll demonstrate it again. Watch closely." Immediately, Zhu Zhiquan slowed down his movements.

After Zhu Zhiquan finished the demonstration, the Durian Warrior replicated it again, and this time, it made Zhu Zhiquan very satisfied.

At this time, Zhao Yuxin had also finished her research and was sitting together with the Ice Cream Cactus while holding a rice bowl and ice cream. When the Ice Cream Cactus saw Zhao Yuxin, it rubbed its head over again.

Zhao Yuxin ignored the Ice Cream Cactus and instead looked at Zhu Zhiquan, who was training the Durian Warrior. Zhao Yuxin couldn't help but ask, "Ajiu, why don't you just thrust it out directly? Why do it like this?" As she spoke, she gestured a bit.

Zhu Zhiquan looked at the meal she hadn't finished yet and said, "Finish your meal first."

"Oh." Zhao Yuxin responded, then buried her head in the rice bowl and worked hard at eating.

After the meal, the Ice Cream Cactus took the initiative to take on the job of washing the dishes, while Zhu Zhiquan had Zhao Yuxin pick up a Xuangang Spear to spar with him.

Zhu Zhiquan took a stance and said, "Try thrusting directly at me first."

"Okay." Zhao Yuxin didn't even think and thrust directly at Zhu Zhiquan, but Zhu Zhiquan just flicked his hand and knocked the Xuangang Spear out of Zhao Yuxin's hand.

"Continue." Zhu Zhiquan held the spearhead of the Xuangang Spear upright in front of his chest, waiting for Zhao Yuxin to pick up the Xuangang Spear and spar with him.

"Alrighty." Zhao Yuxin warmed up first, then picked up the Xuangang Spear and thrust violently at Zhu Zhiquan again.

But this time, it was just a flick from Zhu Zhiquan; the moment Zhu Zhiquan's spear made contact with Zhao Yuxin's Xuangang Spear, it knocked Zhao Yuxin's Xuangang Spear to the other side.

Zhao Yuxin's mouth immediately opened wide. She wanted to control her spear to defend, but at this moment, Zhu Zhiquan's spear was only 0.1 centimeters away from her neck; it was meaningless to defend now.

Without waiting for Zhao Yuxin to comment, Zhu Zhiquan told Zhao Yuxin to defend against his spear.

After Zhao Yuxin picked up the Xuangang Spear and warmed up, she said to Zhu Zhiquan, "Ajiu, I'm ready."

Zhu Zhiquan nodded slightly, then thrust violently toward Zhao Yuxin.

Zhao Yuxin wanted to try to parry Zhu Zhiquan's Xuangang Spear away, but when the two Xuangang Spears hit each other, Zhao Yuxin felt a huge force coming through.

Subsequently, Zhao Yuxin felt her breathing stop. As she looked down, she could clearly feel the texture of the metal against her chin.

At the same time, Zhao Yuxin felt her hands trembling uncontrollably, feeling that in the next second, she wouldn't be able to hold onto the Xuangang Spear in her hands.

"So powerful!" Zhao Yuxin looked at her vibrating hands with her peripheral vision and couldn't help but exclaim.

Zhu Zhiquan retracted the Xuangang Spear and took a stance, letting Zhao Yuxin continue to defend against his attacks.

This time, Zhu Zhiquan vibrated the Xuangang Spear in the opposite direction and then thrust it out suddenly.

The Xuangang Spear flew toward Zhao Yuxin while rotating in mid-air. Even though Zhu Zhiquan used very little force this time, it still made Zhao Yuxin feel as if a stone was pressing on her chest.

Immediately, Zhao Yuxin swung with all her muscles. When the two Xuangang Spears hit each other, she felt as if her Xuangang Spear had hit Zhu Zhiquan's Xuangang Spear like hitting cotton with a stick.

Zhao Yuxin wanted to pull her spear out, but her spear and Zhu Zhiquan's spear seemed to be in Entanglement, driving her hand to rotate along with it, which made her want to pull her spear back, but she couldn't exert any strength at all.

By the time Zhao Yuxin finally stabilized her spear, she discovered that Zhu Zhiquan's spear was already pressed against her neck.

Looking at that sharp spearhead, Zhao Yuxin couldn't help but swallow.

From a bystander's perspective, one could see that when Zhu Zhiquan's spear made contact with Zhao Yuxin's spear, the two spears were in Entanglement, and then Zhu Zhiquan's spear broke through the defense and was once again pressed against her neck.

Zhu Zhiquan put away the Xuangang Spear and asked, "Do you understand now what these few movements are for?"

"I understand." Zhao Yuxin nodded and sat down on the carriage of the Tricycle.

Zhu Zhiquan instructed the Durian Warrior to practice the force-exertion techniques of blocking, parrying, and thrusting, while he studied the combat methods of the sword and shield on the side.

At ten o'clock in the evening, Zhu Zhiquan brought the Durian Warrior back to the Tricycle to rest, and Zhao Yuxin also took this opportunity to introduce her new plants to Zhu Zhiquan.

"Ajiu, I made two new plants today. Come, look here." Zhao Yuxin pulled Zhu Zhiquan in front of a sunflower.

This sunflower had a smiling face that looked very sunny; except for the petals being green, all other parts were blue, and its height was only about half a meter.

"Go water it." Zhao Yuxin handed a water bottle to Zhu Zhiquan.

Although Zhu Zhiquan didn't understand, having had so many plants as examples, Zhu Zhiquan followed Zhao Yuxin's instructions with peace of mind.

When Zhu Zhiquan watered the sunflower, this sunflower suddenly grinned and smiled. But it didn't have that creepy feeling; instead, it made people feel very relaxed.

At the same time, a burst of energy surged into his body, making Zhu Zhiquan feel refreshed.

Zhao Yuxin introduced this sunflower from the side, "The name of this plant is Healing Sunflower. When it is in a happy state, it will release a special aura, allowing the surrounding life to recover their life points quickly. The happier it is, the better the effect."

"One of the materials is Living Essence Paste, but it's a pity I couldn't preserve the effect of quickly recovering Magic Power. Sigh~ if only I could find a suitable plant..."

Hearing that it could quickly recover life points, Zhu Zhiquan immediately made a portion of fertilizer to fertilize the Healing Sunflower.

Next, Zhao Yuxin pulled Zhu Zhiquan to look at the next plant. This plant was entirely black, and in terms of appearance, it should be a pine tree, with a height of only about 1.2 meters.

Zhao Yuxin introduced, "The name of this plant is Landmine Pine Tree. The pinecones it produces will explode, and they are also the seeds of this plant."

Zhu Zhiquan examined the Landmine Pinecone and asked Zhao Yuxin, "Did you use our only landmine to make this?"

"Yes." Zhao Yuxin nodded, "Although the power might not be as good as the original landmine, the quantity now is equivalent to infinite. Doesn't this mean it's a disguised enhancement? How is it, am I amazing?"

Zhu Zhiquan raised another question, "Azhao, how does this thing explode?"

Zhao Yuxin pointed at a pinecone and said, "Simple, just press the pinecone cap and then release it, and it will produce a violent explosion. As for the power... I think it would be no problem to blow off one of your legs."

After listening to Zhao Yuxin's explanation, Zhu Zhiquan stretched and said, "Ha~ alright, it's so late, let's go to sleep first. We'll talk about any research tomorrow."

"Mm." Zhao Yuxin leaned on Zhu Zhiquan's arm and walked slowly toward the sleeping bag. The Ice Cream Cactus followed behind, still holding an ice cream in its hand.

The Durian Warrior took the Xuangang Spear from Zhu Zhiquan's hand and placed the weapon in a suitable position. Afterward, it stood by the Tricycle, always alert to changes in the surroundings.
