Chapter 110: Attempting a Combo Technique
Ten-plus minutes later, the group of three arrived at the northernmost side of the school.
Standing here were over a dozen tall and imposing buildings.
Each building represented a martial arts hall.
The top ten martial arts halls within Great Xia had all opened branches at the National Martial Arts University to specifically serve this group of students.
"The construction cost for each of these buildings must be at least several billion!" Zhao Mingze could not help but exclaim.
"That's for sure. Who knows how many precious alloy materials were fused into the building materials? Otherwise, they wouldn't be able to withstand the energy leaking out when Ability Users train!"
After Chen Fan finished speaking, he patted Zhao Mingze on the shoulder and walked toward the building belonging to the War Wolf Martial Arts Hall.
The War Wolf Martial Arts Hall occupied an area of over ten thousand square meters and was nearly forty stories high. Seen from a distance, it was simply a giant, luxurious hotel.
When the three arrived, the first-floor lobby was bustling with activity, with a great number of figures coming and going; they were clearly all students here to spend their credits.
At the National Martial Arts University, the fee standards for these martial arts halls were related to the permissions on the students' campus cards.
The higher the permission, the lower the fees, with the price difference naturally being covered by the school.
Take Chen Fan, for example: as an SS-level permission holder, he could use all venues and equipment in the martial arts hall for free, and the school would help him pay for those expenses periodically.
Of course, not everything was free for him; for instance, weapons, medicinal herbs, pills, and the like were charged at their listed prices.
After all, no matter how strong your talent is, the school does not want students to get something for nothing!
The three paused in the first-floor lobby; the interior decoration was extremely grand, with a bright white design style that was very modern.
Chen Fan and the others walked around once and gained a preliminary understanding of the place.
The second and third floors of the martial arts hall were rest areas, with tea, coffee, and even alcohol and meat all available to satisfy the students' cravings after training.
Only above the third floor were the actual training venues.
Gravity Adjustment Room, Mental Power Training Room, Speed Resistance Room, as well as Weapon Training Room, Combat Practice Room, and so on—everything one could need was there.
After a simple tour, the three rented a Combat Practice Room.
The space in this training room was extremely large, over two hundred square meters, which was enough for the few of them to stretch their limbs.
Chen Fan went to a corner of the training room and urgently began to try out the combo technique he had just conceived: Thunder Flash + Thunder Shadow Clone Technique!
With a thought, he first used the Thunder Shadow Clone Technique, and a figure appeared beside him, standing parallel to him.
Chen Fan turned his head to look; this Thunder Shadow was very realistic, simply identical to him, making it impossible to distinguish the real from the fake.
He waved his fist, and the Thunder Shadow performed the same action in synchronization.
At this moment, Zhao Mingze and Gao Yuan, who were training separately nearby, noticed Chen Fan and could not help but be surprised.
"Holy crap, Brother Fan, how come there are two of you? Is this the skill you just created?" The two hurried over, their jaws nearly dropping.
"Guess which one is the real me!" Chen Fan said with a smile, and both figures opened their mouths at the same time.
"Naturally, it's the one on the right!" Zhao Mingze did not hesitate at all.
"Correct!" Chen Fan was not surprised; he smiled and simply retracted the Thunder Shadow.
Gao Yuan was a bit confused; he scratched his head and asked in bewilderment, "Why can't I tell which one is real?"
"Hehe, Lao Gao, Brother Fan's figure can fool our eyes, but it can't fool our ears!"
"The sound came from the figure on the right, so naturally, only the one on the right could be the real body!"
"You're smart!" Chen Fan patted Zhao Mingze on the shoulder, highly approving of his cleverness.
"My Thunder Shadow has no physical form, so naturally, it cannot make a sound, so you can identify it with just a little attention!"
"Alright, you two go back to your own training; I still have some ideas to try out!"
Chen Fan sent the two away and tried to use Thunder Flash to switch the positions of the Thunder Shadow and his real body.
During his initial attempts, there would be a positional deviation after using Thunder Flash; his real body and the Thunder Shadow could not overlap in their original positions.
But after an hour of training, he successfully managed to have his real body perfectly match the Thunder Shadow after a Thunder Flash switch! And the Thunder Shadow was likewise able to appear perfectly in the real body's previous position.
He called Zhao Mingze and Gao Yuan over again.
"Ming Ze, Lao Gao, come guess my real body again!"
This time, the two spoke in unison, both pointing at the Chen Fan on the left.
"Brother Fan, it must be this one!"
"Is that so? So confident!" Chen Fan chuckled.
"That's for sure!" Gao Yuan was also full of confidence.
However, when he reached out to touch the Chen Fan on the left, he touched nothing at all.
"Huh? This one is fake?" Gao Yuan and Zhao Mingze were both stunned at the same time.
"Haha! The real me is here!" At this moment, the voice came from the right.
The two were completely bewildered; this completely overturned their understanding.
"Brother Fan, how did you do that?" Zhao Mingze asked curiously, his face full of excitement.
"Haha, it's a secret!" Chen Fan smiled mysteriously and said, "However, it's still a long way from truly forming combat power!"
Chen Fan was right; he had now barely managed to switch bodies using Thunder Flash while in a static state, thereby perfectly overlapping with the Thunder Shadow.
As for switching bodies to perfectly overlap with the Thunder Shadow during combat, he still needed to practice more.
"Brother Fan, this skill of yours is amazing; you can use it to ambush people!" Zhao Mingze offered his insight.
"Mm." Chen Fan nodded lightly.
But he didn't just want to use it to ambush people; more importantly, he wanted to form combat power.
He wanted to be able to have both figures attack the enemy simultaneously, switching between real and fake during the battle to form his own combat pattern, thereby causing his combat power to soar once again.
It was just that Thunder Flash consumed too much Otherworldly Ability, and now he only had thirty percent of his energy left, so today's combo technique training had to end here.
As for why he didn't exhaust his energy completely, it was because he had to be on guard at all times against another attack from the "Pseudo-humans"!
He didn't want to be ambushed by a Pseudo-human when his energy was completely depleted.
After Chen Fan put away the Thunder Shadow, he loosened his wrists and looked at Gao Yuan, saying, "Lao Gao, it's still early, how about we stretch our limbs a bit? No Otherworldly Ability, keep the power suppressed below 1000 kilograms, and only compete in techniques!"
Gao Yuan's skills were not bad, being on par with his own; sparring with such a master of close-quarters combat would also improve his own combat level.
"Sounds good, Brother Fan." Gao Yuan became excited the moment he heard this.
He was a battle maniac by nature, and after witnessing Chen Fan's skills, he had long been looking forward to sparring with Chen Fan.
"Brother Fan, bare-handed, no one has ever been able to spar with me for ten rounds before." Gao Yuan set his stance, already eager to try.
"Haha, looks like there's a good show to watch, I'll be the referee!" Zhao Mingze was equally expectant; he hurriedly stood to the side, leaving enough Space for the two of them.
"Lao Gao, watch out!" Seeing that Gao Yuan was in position, Chen Fan launched the attack first.
His right leg was like a bullet leaving the chamber; even without using Otherworldly Ability, a single kick could blast the air, leaving behind popping sonic booms in the air.
Gao Yuan was also ridiculously strong; his pair of iron fists contended with Chen Fan's Gale Leg Technique, not falling behind for a moment.
