Chapter 220: Pointers?

"Brother Chang, are you saying that you achieved a breakthrough in your leg technique because you received pointers from Brother Lu?" Kang Yuan asked in utter shock, his eyes wide, finding it hard to believe.

"That's right."

Chang Lei nodded heavily, a wry smile appearing on his face as he said slowly, "Come to think of it, it's quite ironic.

When Brother Lu and I first started sparring, he was clearly holding back on purpose, but I mistakenly thought his skills were nothing special, and I even secretly thought I wouldn't gain anything tonight.

Who would have thought that immediately after, Brother Lu's leg technique became increasingly fierce; even when I used all my strength, I couldn't fend him off at all with my own leg technique.

Honestly, if it weren't for that sparring session last night, I wouldn't dare imagine how long it would have taken me to reach the Consummation realm in the Twelve-Road Tan Leg."

Recalling the experience from last night, Chang Lei felt full of relief. It was fortunate that he had seen the news about the sparring session the moment it appeared; if he had missed it, that would have been a real pity.

"So that's how it is. Brother Lu must have been testing your strength at the beginning, right?" Kang Yuan said thoughtfully.

"Mhm, it was a gradual process. If he had gone all out from the start, the sparring session would have lost its meaning," Chang Lei replied with emotion.

Upon hearing this, Kang Yuan and the others nodded one after another, their eyes filled with envy.

"I didn't expect Brother Lu to be not only highly skilled in archery but also so formidable in leg technique; even Brother Chang, who is an expert in leg techniques, could receive pointers from him."

"Indeed, no wonder he is already a Transformation Energy Martial Artist at such a young age; this talent is simply astonishingly high."

"It's a pity I practice Fist Technique; otherwise, I could have received pointers from Brother Lu just like Brother Chang."

"Who's to say otherwise?" Everyone sighed, looking regretful.

Just at this moment, a clear sound of footsteps approached from afar.

"Brother Lu!"

"Little Brother Lu, you've finally arrived!" Someone was so excited they stood up abruptly from their seat.

"Hm?" Lu Yu was slightly stunned. Seeing everyone like this, he couldn't help but feel a bit amused, "What's wrong with you all?"

Everyone looked at each other, then silently sat back down.

Judging from what Chang Lei had just said, perhaps what Lu Yu was most proficient in was leg technique.

And since they were all practicing Fist Technique or Palm Technique, it seemed somewhat inappropriate to rashly ask Lu Yu for pointers.

"Little Brother Lu." Chang Lei walked up and bowed respectfully.

"Brother Chang, what are you doing?" Lu Yu hurriedly reached out to help him up, looking puzzled, "Why this grand gesture?"

Chang Lei waved his hand and said, "Little Brother Lu, you don't know this, but for these past years, my leg technique has been stuck at the Great Success realm, and I could never find the way to break through to Consummation. After sparring with you last night, I actually broke through after I went back; my leg technique has reached the Consummation realm."

"Is that so? That's truly great," Lu Yu said with a gratified smile.

In truth, he didn't mind giving the other party some pointers; it was just that he had only learned the Twelve-Road Tan Leg after Chang Lei had left.

"Yes, I, Chang Lei, don't know how to repay the favor of Brother Lu's guidance. From now on, as long as there is anything Brother Lu needs me for, I will go through fire and water without hesitation!" Chang Lei said with sincerity.

"Brother Chang, you are being too serious." Lu Yu smiled and waved his hand, then cast his gaze toward the others.

He had vaguely guessed why Kang Yuan and the others were so excited when they saw him.

Since everyone had this intention, he would no longer stand on ceremony.

"Everyone, is anyone proficient in Fist Technique or Palm Technique?" As soon as Lu Yu finished speaking, everyone, including Chang Lei, was startled, staring at Lu Yu with astonishment as if looking at a monster.

What did this mean? Besides being formidable in leg technique, was Little Brother Lu also proficient in Fist Technique and Palm Technique?

"Little Brother Lu, I am proficient in Palm Technique." Jiang Yao was the first to react and hurriedly raised her hand to say.

"I practice Palm Technique as well!"

"I practice Fist Technique."

"I also practice Fist Technique," the others all said, vying to be heard.

"Alright then, shall we find a time to spar later?" Lu Yu asked with a smile.

With at least half a day left before the medicinal herbs were delivered, taking advantage of this free time to raise the levels of his Basic Fist Technique and Basic Palm Technique was a pretty good choice.

Hearing this, everyone was pleasantly surprised, nodding their heads like chicks pecking at rice, their hearts filled with gratitude toward Lu Yu.

They understood in their hearts that while Lu Yu called it sparring, he was actually giving them pointers.

Just like that, a day passed quickly in intense and fulfilling sparring.

Kang Yuan and the others all wore expressions of sincere admiration, clearly having benefited greatly.

At first, the situation was indeed as Chang Lei had said; although Lu Yu's Basic Martial Arts were formidable, they were still within their expectations.

However, later on, even when they used their most skilled Fist Technique or Palm Technique, they still found it difficult to withstand Lu Yu's offensive.

Of course, Lu Yu's gains were even greater. After this day, he successfully raised both his Basic Fist Technique and Basic Palm Technique to around level 25.

But raising them any further met the same difficulty as the Basic Leg Technique; the upgrade progress became extremely slow, requiring several hours to gain a single level.

If he wanted to continue improving, he would either have to spend more time—from several hours to a day, or even several days—or go find stronger opponents.

After pondering for a moment, Lu Yu decided to choose the latter. Once he passed the assessment, he would go find Pulse Refining Realm Martial Artists in the Association to spar with, and if there was an opportunity, he might even trade blows with a True Essence Realm Martial Artist!

After bidding farewell to everyone, Lu Yu went straight to the front desk and collected two packages. Carrying one in each hand, he returned to the lounge.

Lu Yu first unwrapped the package containing the bow.

The size of this bow was about the same as the one he had used before, but it was significantly heavier, the bow limbs were much thicker, and the bowstring was almost as thick as two fingers.

Next, he took out the arrows. The arrows were a little over two meters long and about as thick as an adult's forearm; he weighed them and felt they were nearly ten pounds each.

"Perhaps even without using True Qi, if I could hit the vital point of an Elite-level Fierce Beast with this kind of arrow, killing it in one strike shouldn't be a problem," Lu Yu muttered to himself.

As for the range of this bow, he would have to find a place to actually test it to know.
