The classroom was very large, big enough to accommodate 80 people. Now, only about half of the seats were occupied. In the front was a blackboard, and the walls were painted a powdery white. It seemed that this was going to be the place where I would study from now on. I found a seat in the back row and sat down. The Huo brothers sat beside me.
When the bell rang, a female teacher, probably around 26 or 27 years old, walked in. She wasn't very tall, with long black hair that draped over her shoulders. She had a beautiful and elegant appearance and looked very gentle. First, she coughed and then said loudly, "Classmates, quiet down. Let's start the class." Her voice was very clear and it felt extremely pleasant to the ears.
I was really surprised that the teacher was so young. It was quite beyond my expectations.
The classroom fell silent.
"Let me introduce myself first. My name is Zhuang Jing, and from now on, I will be the head teacher of this class. I am mainly in charge of the magic courses. I hope you can actively cooperate with me, practice hard, bring honor to the academy, and also bring honor to Class 6, Grade 1 of the Magic and Martial Arts Department. If you have any questions about magic, you can come to me." I thought to myself: It seems that this teacher is quite approachable. Being able to teach us freshmen at her age, she must have extraordinary strength.
"Now, let's have the classmates introduce themselves. Let's start from the first row on the left."
The first person in the first row on the left was a girl. If she were a man, she would be considered burly. She was 180 centimeters tall, and her waist circumference was probably about the same as her height. Using a popular way to describe her, she was like a globe. She wasn't nervous at all. With a swish, she stood up and said, "Hello, Teacher Zhuang. Hello, classmates. My name is Feng Juan. I have learned some fire magic and some family-inherited martial arts. I hope I can communicate with all of you in our future studies... (The following 1000 words are omitted)." Wow, she was simply a gossipy woman, never stopping. Even Teacher Zhuang couldn't stand it anymore and said, "All right, that's enough for classmate Feng Juan. Next one."
This chubby Feng Juan sat down reluctantly, but it was obvious that she still hadn't had enough of talking.
Behind her was a very thin and small boy. Compared with Feng Juan just now, it was a stark contrast. He stood up and said in a hoarse voice, "My name is Long Zhuang. Please take care of me in the future." After saying that, he plopped down in his seat.
...
Finally, it was my turn. I stood up and tried my best to make my voice softer. I said, "My name is Lei Xiang." Many girls in the class saw my tall figure and handsome face and threw flirtatious glances at me. Other things were easy to deal with, but when I accidentally caught the flirtatious glance from Sister Feng Juan, I almost vomited out my last night's meal. I forced myself to hold back the surging acid in my throat and quickly sat down.
The head teacher, Teacher Zhuang, was obviously also a bit interested in me and asked further, "What has classmate Lei Xiang learned before?"
I had no choice but to stand up again. However, I didn't dare to look around anymore. I looked directly at Teacher Zhuang and said, "I have learned some boxing techniques and battle qi."
"Oh, haven't you learned any magic?"
"No."
"Then you have to work hard in the future and strive to keep up with everyone's progress."
"Yes, teacher."
The Huo brothers introduced themselves afterwards. Their identical appearance also left a deep impression on everyone.
"All right, everyone has finished introducing themselves. I hope that in the future, classmates can respect and love each other, and make progress unitedly. Now, we need to elect a class monitor who will help me manage our class. What do you think is a good way to conduct the election?"
A classmate named Wood stood up and said, "Teacher, as far as I know, it seems that every class in the academy has a chief student. How about we have a competition too, select the chief student, and then let him be the class monitor? This way, it will be more convincing to everyone."
Teacher Zhuang nodded and smiled, saying, "That's a good idea. Do you classmates have any other suggestions?"
Most of the classmates expressed no objection. Those who didn't express an opinion couldn't come up with a better idea either. Then Teacher Zhuang announced, "In the next class, everyone will go to Training Ground No. 4 together. We will select the class monitor through a competition. Class is dismissed now."
I quietly asked the Huo brothers beside me, "Can we abstain? What's the point of being a class monitor? It will affect our cultivation."
Huo Xing said, "It shouldn't affect cultivation, I think. I heard that if the class monitor builds a good relationship with the teachers, he can learn more from them. There is a Tianlong Group in the academy. Only the chief students of each class above the second grade have the right to enter it. I heard that one can learn some more profound martial arts in there. The academy has six grades, and each grade has about six classes. So, there should be around 30 people in the Tianlong Group. They are the real elites of the academy."
So, being this class monitor still has its advantages. At least, there is a possibility of getting better learning opportunities. It seems that I can't give up.
There wasn't much time to rest during the break. I followed the large group of people directly to Training Ground No. 4. Training Ground No. 4 is behind the teaching building and has always been used by the students of the Magic and Martial Arts classes.
The girls in the class were chatting frequently. I vaguely heard my name from their soft voices. I unconsciously touched my face. Am I really that handsome?
There were several girls who thought highly of their looks and came over to strike up a conversation with me. They tried to charm me with their appearances. But how could they stir my heart with their level? One by one, they were given the cold shoulder by me.
Finally, we made it to the place. Training Ground No. 4 was in a large building. There were five tiers of grandstands around it, which could probably seat about four or five hundred people. In the center was a large arena that was 20 meters long and 20 meters wide.
Teacher Zhuang stepped onto the arena and said, "All right, now we will draw lots. Are there any classmates who are willing to give up?"
"Yes, yes, yes." No way! More than half of them actually gave up, and most of them were girls. Teacher Zhuang counted and found that there were exactly 16 people participating in the end. After drawing lots, they were divided into eight groups to fight in pairs. The winners would advance, and the losers would be eliminated.
In my first match, I was up against Huo Xing. He made a helpless gesture towards me and said, "Lei Xiang, come on. Let's have a fight first." I nodded and took the lead in stepping onto the arena.
Huo Xing drew out his long sword and said, "I won't show any mercy. You have to work hard too."
I said, "Come on then."
"Great God of Fire, bestow upon me endless flames." As Huo Xing chanted, his long sword gradually turned red and gave off billowing heat. I still stood still, waiting for his move.
With a loud roar, Huo Xing rushed towards me quickly and suddenly swung his sword down. I gently sidestepped but didn't actually dodge his sword. The long sword slashed straight at my shoulder. Huo Xing obviously didn't expect me to be so "useless" and quickly tried to hold back his strength for fear of hurting me. But the inertia was too great, and it was too late. The sword filled with fire energy slashed onto my shoulder with a "whoosh".
In fact, from the strength of his sword strike, I knew that he couldn't hurt me. I let him hit me on purpose. My shoulder just felt a slight burn. I smiled at him, raised my left hand, and grabbed his long sword. Then I struck out with my right palm.
Huo Xing felt that when his long sword hit me, it was like hitting solid ice. When the sword was grabbed by me, it couldn't move at all. The blade filled with fire elements couldn't even cut through my palm. In his surprise, he was knocked off the arena by my palm strike.
The whole process only took a few seconds. I mainly used a pushing force and didn't hurt him. When Huo Xing landed off the arena, he couldn't help but look at his long sword. The blade had actually curled up a bit.
He asked in disbelief, "Lei Xiang, what kind of martial art is this? How can you be impervious to sword strikes?"
I said calmly, "It's not that I'm not afraid. It's just that your strength isn't enough. Do you want to have another match?"
Huo Xing shook his head and said, "There's no need. I admit defeat."
The other classmates in the audience were dumbfounded. No one had expected the first match to end like this. They couldn't help but look at me in a new light. Instantly, I became a top contender for the championship.
Teacher Zhuang announced, "In the first match, Lei Xiang wins. The next match is between Feng Juan and Huo Xing's younger brother Huo Shen."
I stepped down from the arena, patted Huo Xing on the shoulder, and said, "Be content. You're the first person to lose to me and still walk away unharmed." Huo Xing was stunned by my words. I didn't pay him any more attention and looked up to watch the match on the arena.
On the arena, Huo Shen and Feng Juan had already started fighting. Feng Juan was using a large hammer, swinging it vigorously. The heavy hammer seemed as light as a feather in her hands. The hammer was also imbued with fire magic. Although she looked clumsy, her moving speed was extremely fast. Like a leaf, she nimbly dodged around Huo Shen, gradually forcing him into a corner. The strong wind generated by the hammer prevented Huo Shen from getting within three meters of her. He could only tentatively launch some fire magic with his long sword. This chubby woman indeed had extraordinary strength.
Huo Xing sighed, "Is she even a woman? She's terrifying."
I said calmly, "Your younger brother is going to lose. He simply can't bring his strengths into play."
Sure enough, as soon as I finished speaking, Huo Shen's sword was knocked flying by Feng Juan's large hammer. The hammer stopped three inches above his head. Huo Shen's face turned deathly pale from fright.
Feng Juan smiled smugly. "You've lost." She became the second person to advance to the quarter - finals.
It only took one class period to determine the eight finalists. In my next match, I was up against a male classmate named Luo Lei. He used a spear. From my observation, although his spear skills were tricky, his strength was still lacking.
In the first match of the second round, Luo Lei and I entered the arena simultaneously after Teacher Zhuang's announcement. Luo Lei said, "You won far too easily just now. I won't give you such an opportunity."
I snorted coldly and didn't respond.
"If Huo Xing wasn't going easy on you, he was being careless. I won't make the same mistake. Alright, let you see what real martial arts are. Take this! Galaxy Spread!" With that, the spear in his hand created a shower of light dots, flying towards me. The name he gave to his move was quite good. The tip of the spear emitted the sound of battle qi. I couldn't tell where he was going to stab at all. His strength was indeed stronger than Huo Xing's.
I raised my arm to shield my eyes and circulated the Heavenly Thunder Unarmor technique throughout my body. My clothes were filled with a thick layer of qi. There was a slight stinging sensation on my body as Luo Lei's move, Galaxy Spread, stabbed right into me without missing a single spot.
I put down my hand and looked at him coldly. Luo Lei stared at me in shock and murmured, "Now I know how he lost just now. You really are invulnerable to swords and spears."
"I'm not invulnerable. It's just that your strength isn't enough."
Luo Lei said firmly, "I won't give up. Come on! Steadfast Earth, use your mighty power to pierce the enemy before you — Earth Spear Stab!" So he was a learner of earth magic.
There was a tremor under my feet, and a huge earth spike shot up. I dodged backward. Although I managed to avoid it, I broke out in a cold sweat. Such a huge earth spike, even with my defensive power, I couldn't guarantee that I wouldn't get hurt at all. Just then, a second earth spike shot up.
It wasn't a good idea to keep dodging. I charged forward with all my might. Earth spikes kept emerging behind me. I narrowly avoided wave after wave of earth spikes. Although I managed to avoid the direct attacks, I still got scratched in several places. If it weren't for my extraordinary defensive power, I might have been covered in wounds, but my clothes were beyond repair.
Finally, I reached a point three meters in front of Luo Lei. I leaped high into the air and let out a loud roar, "Fierce Thunder Descends to the World!" This was the first time I used the Fierce Thunder Thirteen Fists in a battle since I left the Orc Imperial City.
In the air, I was filled with an indomitable and powerful aura. My huge fist kept getting bigger in Luo Lei's eyes. He felt that the air was filled with surging and passionate power. It seemed that all the directions for him to dodge were locked by my punch, leaving him with no way to avoid it.
Luo Lei gritted his teeth and thrust his spear at me with all his might.
In fact, when I leaped high into the air, I already knew that I had won because there was no way he could block my full-powered boxing technique.
My right fist, accompanied by a powerful mass of battle qi, collided with Luo Lei's spear. There was a cracking sound in the air, and Luo Lei was "sent" out of the arena by my powerful force. His spear shattered into pieces and scattered all over the ground. If I hadn't withdrawn most of the battle qi at the last moment and changed the explosive force into a pushing force, I'm afraid he would never have seen the sun the next day.
I stood on the arena with my hands behind my back, exuding an air of confidence as if asking who else in the world could rival me. I said coldly, "Now you should know how lucky you are. I'm sorry for destroying your spear."
Luo Lei off the stage wasn't seriously injured. Naturally, he knew that I had shown mercy and retreated to the side resentfully. The head teacher blinked her eyes and thought to herself, "This Lei Xiang has such great strength. You know, Luo Lei's Nebula Spear Technique was already somewhat famous before he came to the academy. He should be among the top students in the class and even in the grade. I didn't expect him to be defeated by Lei Xiang."
While she was thinking, I spoke on the stage, "Teacher, shouldn't you announce that I've won?"
Only then did Teacher Zhuang come to her senses and quickly said, "Lei Xiang wins and advances to the semi-finals."
I jumped down from the stage, and the Huo brothers immediately ran over. Huo Shen said, "Old Lei, you're really amazing. That punch of yours just now was simply wonderful. It seems that the class monitor position is definitely yours. How about teaching me?"
I said, "My boxing technique isn't suitable for you to learn. You'd better focus on improving your own martial arts skills."
Huo Shen was turned down and felt a bit disgruntled. I paid no more attention to him and walked to the corner to sit in meditation. Since the competition was going to be completed within a day, physical strength was very important. Although I had defeated Luo Lei just now, I wasn't as relaxed as I seemed on the surface. Those earth spikes did cause me some damage, and the battle just now had also consumed a lot of my physical strength. If the next two opponents were as strong as Luo Lei, it would still be somewhat difficult for me to become the class monitor.
I thought to myself that in the next match, I absolutely couldn't let my opponent have the opportunity to use magic. I must strike first.
I sat there quietly, regulating the energy in my body, gathering the scattered True Qi of the Heavenly Thunder Unarmor again, and turning a deaf ear to everything else happening in the arena.
Not long after, I felt that my True Qi had gradually returned to its best state. I took a deep breath and stood up.
When I walked to the edge of the stage, I happened to see the end of a match. Feng Juan waved her big hammer and blasted her opponent, sword and all, off the arena. What terrifying strength!
The head teacher announced, "Feng Juan wins. The quarter-finals are over. Now, the semi-finals begin. The first match is between Lei Xiang and Feng Wen. Please, the contestants enter the arena."
It's my turn? It seems that I was in meditation for quite a long time. I stepped onto the arena and stood on one side. A gentle breeze caressed my face, and in a flash, there was someone standing opposite me. Such great speed! I couldn't help but feel a chill in my heart.
This was Feng Wen. He had a well-proportioned figure and was holding a long sword in his hand. He smiled and said, "I watched your match just now. I know you're very strong, but I already have a way to deal with you."
"Stop talking nonsense. Let's go!" To prevent my opponent from using magic, I launched the first offensive. Stepping forward with my left foot, my body shot forward like an arrow, and I threw a punch. The powerful battle qi enveloped Feng Wen. The strong wind made his clothes rattle. Just as my punch was about to hit him, Feng Wen in front of me suddenly disappeared. My extremely powerful punch landed in thin air. Not only was he fast, but his battle qi was also so strong that he could escape from my battle qi field.
For a moment, I was taken aback. Then, I felt a sharp gust of wind approaching from behind. Instead of dodging, I turned around and used my chest to block his attack. I quickly threw another punch.
A wind arrow hit my chest precisely, yet my punch missed again. Standing on the other side of the arena, Feng Wen exclaimed in surprise, "Your defensive power is incredibly high! You can even take a wind arrow of this intensity head - on."
Feng Wen started circling around me at top speed, launching magic like wind arrows and wind blades at me from time to time. He refused to engage in a direct confrontation with me. I swung my fists in all directions, only wasting my energy. The intensity of my Heavenly Thunder Unarmor battle qi was still too low to reach him, posing no real threat to him. Ah, right! I could fuse dark magic with my battle qi, just like the last time when I withstood my father's attack.
I stood in the center of the arena, allowing myself to be bombarded by his wind magic. My outer clothes were torn to shreds under his wind - type magic, revealing my undergarments and the well - muscled arms. I secretly observed his moving positions, continuously gathering dark energy within my body. The feeling of icy coolness and clarity immediately filled my entire body, and my senses became much more acute.
At this time, while attacking, Feng Wen thought to himself, If this continues, my magic and battle qi will run out before I can break through his defensive shield. What on earth is this guy made of? He's so tough. No, I need to use my ultimate move. With this in mind, Feng Wen let out a loud roar, "Fierce Wind Demon Wolf Sword!"
He concentrated all his battle qi onto his long sword and used wind magic to accelerate himself, charging straight towards me. His body spun at high speed in the air. When he was still five meters away from me, his battle qi was already pricking my skin, making it tingle. If I was stabbed by him, even with my defensive power, I would probably get injured. I bellowed, "Come on! This is just what I want!" I gathered the dark energy I had already condensed and threw a punch towards him.
A streak of black - and - white battle qi shot out with my punch. I refused to believe that I would lose in a power struggle. Just as the two forces were about to collide, Feng Wen in the air incredibly flipped to the left, dodging my deadly punch. His long sword was still stabbing towards my chest. Feng Wen changed his direction using wind magic. No matter how I dodged, he could chase after me.
In this critical moment, my mind unexpectedly calmed down. I clearly sensed the direction of his attack. With a deafening roar, "Fierce Thunder Shakes the Sky!" I created a flurry of fist shadows against his incoming sword, sealing off all the possible directions he could move in, forcing him to engage in a head - on clash with me.
Feng Wen clearly hadn't expected me to have such a technique. There was no way for him to dodge anymore. Gritting his teeth, he suddenly accelerated towards me. "Boom!" The sword and the fist finally collided in mid - air. I was at a disadvantage because my strength was too scattered. Although my absolute strength was considerably greater than his, I still suffered a setback.
The undergarment on my chest was pierced by the battle qi emitted from his long sword, leaving a half - inch - deep gash on my pectoral muscle. Blood trickled down my chest. The meridians in my body were also severely impacted. Panting heavily, I knelt on one knee and used my hand to support my body's weight. This was the first time I had been injured since leaving the Orc Imperial City.
On the surface, Feng Wen seemed better off than me, but he had also consumed an enormous amount of physical strength. His long sword had been reduced to half its original length due to its inability to withstand the huge impact just now. He, too, knelt on one knee, using the broken sword to support himself. The meridians in his body were severely damaged by my powerful force. A cold sensation spread throughout his body, and he was desperately using his battle qi to neutralize the invading dark energy.
I used my left hand to press several points on my chest to seal the blood vessels. With great effort, I stood up from the ground. I swayed a few times before managing to stand steadily. I had my first doubts about my father's principle of "overpowering ten opponents with sheer strength." I also realized the importance of skills for the first time. It was extremely difficult for me to win now. I had consumed far too much physical strength. Coupled with the wound on my chest, a piercing pain would strike whenever I moved even slightly. Cold sweat had already soaked through my undergarments.
Feng Wen also stood up shakily and said, "Shall we continue fighting?" A hint of a helpless smile appeared on his face. I smiled bitterly and said, "If you can still launch an attack, I've lost."
"Likewise. It seems Feng Juan has got the upper hand." After saying this, we both fell backward simultaneously.
The head teacher quickly jumped onto the arena. She examined our injuries and, relieved to find that there was no life - threatening danger, said, "Both sides are injured? Quick, classmates, take them to the infirmary."
Where am I? The smell of medicine is so strong. I forced my eyes open and struggled to sit up. But the moment I moved slightly, a searing pain shot through my chest. I had no choice but to lie back down on the bed. I could feel that my chest was wrapped in thick gauze. Gritting my teeth, I tried my best not to groan in agony. With great effort, I turned my head to the side. Feng Wen was lying on the bed next to mine. This must be the infirmary.
I circulated my dark energy to examine the meridians in my body. Several meridians near my chest were blocked. Fortunately, my Heavenly Thunder Unarmor had blocked most of the battle qi. Otherwise, if my heart meridian had been damaged, it would have been a huge problem. I used the dark energy to unblock the blocked meridians bit by bit. I had no idea how much time had passed when I heard someone entering.
"These two boys, why haven't they woken up yet? It's just for the class monitor position. Why go all out like this? If they really want to fight, they should wait until the annual grade martial arts competition. Now, they've ended up in the infirmary right after the semester started." It was Teacher Zhuang's voice.
I felt a cool hand on my forehead. "Thank goodness, no fever. There shouldn't be any inflammation." Uncontrollably, a warm feeling welled up in my heart. Why was she so concerned about me? Was it just because I was her student?
"What's wrong with Feng Wen? Logically, his injuries aren't as severe as Lei Xiang's. Why hasn't he woken up yet? Why is his body so cold?" Teacher Zhuang's anxious voice came through.
I had unblocked most of the blocked meridians. I opened my eyes. Teacher Zhuang was sitting on Feng Wen's bed, her hand on his forehead.
I said weakly, "Teacher, he was hit by my Black Ice Battle Qi. I'm the only one who can undo it." In fact, it was dark energy that had affected him.
"Lei Xiang, you're awake. I've never heard of this Black Ice Battle Qi of yours. But it's truly powerful. How are you going to treat him?"
"Please give me his hand." The two beds were not far apart, just an arm's length away.
I placed my hand on Feng Wen's pulse point and slowly absorbed the dark energy that had invaded his body. Streams of black qi gradually flowed back into my body from his hand. Instead of feeling exhausted, I found that my dark energy was becoming more abundant. I also felt a bit more energetic than when I first woke up.
"Teacher, he should be fine now. He just needs to rest and he'll recover."
"This battle qi of yours is really extraordinary. Only you can neutralize it. I thought Feng Wen would wake up before you. Look at you two, why fight to the death? I had my eye on one of you to be the class monitor. Now Feng Juan has taken the position. Save your energy for the grade martial arts competition and bring honor to the class. Why fight among yourselves?"
She really could talk, non-stop. "Teacher, how long have I been unconscious?"
"For a whole day and night. Two students ended up in the infirmary on the first day of school. I got a good scolding from the principal because of it." Teacher Zhuang looked annoyed.
A whole day and night? My poor Black Dragon must be starving again. "Teacher, could you take me out for a while?"
"What for? You need to rest and recuperate properly with your injuries."
"I have a horse in the academy's stable. I want to feed it. It hasn't eaten anything since yesterday."
Teacher Zhuang said briskly, "All right, you just rest. I'll go and feed it for you. I really seem to owe you guys." With that, she stood up and was about to leave.
"No, teacher. My horse will only eat the food I feed it. I'm afraid you won't be able to feed it."
Teacher Zhuang frowned and said, "Why is it so troublesome? Fine, you wait here. I'll go find a wheelchair for you. I can push you there, right?"
She was quite resourceful. Soon, she brought back a somewhat shabby wheelchair. I tried to sit up, but as soon as my chest hurt, I fell back onto the bed. Teacher Zhuang said, "All right, let me do it." She picked me up from the bed in one go. A fresh fragrance came from her body, making me a bit dazed. She was only about 1.6 meters tall, and when she held me, who was 2 meters tall, some physical contact was inevitable. The soft touch stimulated my nerves.
Seeing my intoxicated look, Teacher Zhuang put me on the wheelchair with a thump and flicked my forehead, angrily saying, "What are you doing? Do you still want to feed the horse or not?" She thought to herself, this little lecher is taking advantage of me. At this thought, her face turned red. Looking at my tall and strong body and handsome face, she couldn't help but have some wandering thoughts. She shook her head vigorously and thought: What's wrong with me? He's my student.
Of course, I had no idea about her inner struggle. I only came to my senses when my head hurt. I quickly said, "Ah! Sorry, teacher. Let's go."
Zhuang Jing pushed me to the stable. I quickly fed the good forage to Black Dragon. I said apologetically to it, "I made you starve again, buddy. It's all my fault."
Teacher Zhuang said, "This horse of yours is really good. At first glance, it's a fine steed. Where did you get it?"
If someone else had asked me this question, I would definitely have ignored it. Maybe it was because of the closer relationship between us just now that I couldn't refuse to answer her. "Black Dragon was originally a wild horse. I tamed it, and then it has been following me ever since."
"Can I touch it?" No way. She looked so excited, just like a little kid.
"Better not. It has a very bad temper. It once even kicked someone to death."
"Is it that terrifying? I don't believe it. I insist on touching it." With that, Teacher Zhuang walked over and reached out her hand to touch Black Dragon. Black Dragon's eyes showed a wary look. It took a step back, let out a long neigh, and reared up on its hind legs.
I quickly shouted, "Black Dragon, no rudeness. She's a friend." As if it understood my words, Black Dragon stomped its hooves in another direction.
Teacher Zhuang was startled. Only after seeing that Black Dragon wasn't going to attack her did she disperse the water elements she had just gathered. "You scared me. This horse of yours is really wild. It seems to understand what you say."
"I don't know what's going on either. It's as if we can communicate telepathically. Let's go back."
Teacher Zhuang made a face at Black Dragon behind my back before pushing me back to the infirmary. Of course, during the process of carrying me back to the bed, there was inevitably more...
A day later, Feng Wen woke up too. After having breakfast, he asked me, "How are you? Have you recovered? Your battle qi was truly formidable the other day. I still had the ability to attack, but your battle qi froze all the meridians in my body, leaving me completely drained of strength."
"My internal injuries have basically healed. The sword wound on my chest has also scabbed over. I'll be fine in a few more days." To be honest, I admired his martial arts skills as well. He was actually able to penetrate my extraordinary defensive power. It seemed that I needed to strengthen my cultivation of the Heavenly Thunder Unarmor.
"What kind of battle qi do you practice? Your defensive power is really strong."
"Strong? You still managed to break through it."
"My Coiling Dragon Battle Qi is quite famous. It attacks in a spiral, like a tornado, and can change direction at will. It has extremely strong penetrating power. I've never seen anyone who could take it head - on. In my final attack that day, I used all of my Coiling Dragon Battle Qi and accelerated with wind magic. Only then could I barely break through your defensive shield a little. When my attack first hit your defensive shield, I held back a bit for fear of hurting you. But in the end, even though I used all my strength, I still couldn't fully break through."
So it was spiral battle qi. No wonder it had such strong penetrating power. "It doesn't matter that you hurt me, but you ruined my clothes."
"My sword was broken by you too. We're even."
Just then, Feng Yun and the Huo brothers walked in. As soon as Feng Yun entered, he shouted, "Hey, how are you two? All right? I heard from the Huo brothers that you had an intense fight the other day."
Feng Wen scolded with a smile, "Look at your mouth. You've been like this since we were kids. Once you start talking, you can't stop. Can you be quiet for a while?"
Feng Yun said, "You've been bullying me since we were kids. Now you won't even let me talk?"
Huo Shen asked in surprise, "Do you know each other?"
Feng Wen smiled faintly and said, "He's my cousin. We grew up together. It's just that one of us focused more on magic studies while the other focused more on martial arts."
