Chapter 10: A Breakthrough for Both
。But...the body resilience that best suits me, the one I'm most compatible with, is the Heavenly Python Evolution Technique. 。"I found it the easiest to practice"Tian Mang Evolution Method", masterin...For so many years, Liu Hai has sparred with his disciples, always letting them make the first move. Of course, his Taiji Shield and Knife technique is also adept at defense and counterattack.
“Master, be careful!” Xu Jingming looked at his master from afar. His mind was focused, and with a stomp of his foot, the ground shook. He instantly transformed into a crimson afterimage and charged towards Liu Hai. Because his speed was too fast, the air emitted a piercing shriek wherever he passed.
Liu Hai held a large shield in one hand and a sword in the other. He was as heavy as a mountain, calmly watching Xu Jingming attack.
The more important the battle, the calmer Liu Hai became during combat. Even when appearing excited and brimming with fighting spirit, his inner self remained as placid as a still lake, clearly reflecting every detail of the fight.
"Bang."
The long spear came down with a sudden, powerful thrust, clashing against the large shield. The terrifying force of their impact rippled outwards, sending Liu Hai's hair flying and filling Xu Jingming's face with fierce determination.
Xu Jingming's spear danced wildly, attacking with every move—thrusting, smashing, stabbing, sweeping... His spear struck relentlessly, one after another, in a furious assault against Liu Hai. If there were a mountain before him, he would shatter it to pieces.
Liu Hai didn't counterattack at all, he simply held up a large shield to block, perfectly deflecting every blow from Xu Jingming.
No matter how Xu Jingming attacked, Liu Hai remained steadfast as a rock in the water, weathering every assault.
"Jingming, your shooting is just average." Liu Hai said, "I'm starting my attack now."
"Master, come on, go ahead and make your move." Xu Jingming smiled.
Liu Hai suddenly took a step forward.
Last step, shield charge forward, like a mountain pressing down! Collided with Xu Jingming's spear, causing Xu Jingming's face to change slightly. He moved his foot and retreated several steps.
“Master’s cultivation is the Violent Tiger Evolution Method, his strength far surpasses mine. His shield is also a large one, with powerful shield strikes.” Xu Jingming retreated violently. Liu Hai took a step forward and was already close. Xu Jingming held his spear aloft in a strange arc, aiming to pierce Liu Hai’s body from below.
Liu Hai pressed his large shield with his left hand, effortlessly blocking the shot. As he blocked it, he continued to charge forward, his blade flashing.
Xu Jingming missed his shot and immediately retreated. A flash of blade light grazed his chest, about three inches away from him.
"The shield is strong, but the sword is subtle." Xu Jingming had known his master's fighting style for a long time, so he had always been careful of that sword.
The master and apprentice sparred with each other.
Liu Hai's shield and sword combination was seamless. His defense was impenetrable, while his attacks were fierce and unpredictable.
Xu Jingming's agility and speed were unparalleled! He didn't give Liu Hai a single chance to get close.
Amidst their fierce battle, this valley suffered dearly! Weapons clashed and tore through the air, trees exploded, mountains trembled with fissures and craters, and the ground itself was scarred with enormous trenches and pits.
This battle took place with no audience present, and the outside world was completely unaware of it.
But this confrontation was truly the strongest since the virtual world opened!
"Bang!" Liu Hai was ferocious, his large shield dodging strangely, Xu Jingming's spear fell short. Liu Hai immediately advanced, wanting to get close.
"Poof."
Xu Jingming's spear suddenly moved.
At close range, ultra-fast firing speed.
"What" The old trick of a single shot, something he had used before, was somehow able to continue its force. Liu Hai felt a tightness in his chest and immediately changed the direction of the blade that was about to strike.
Clang! The blade sliced against the spear shaft.
With a flick of the spear, the second shot was already coming.
Double strike!
Liu Hai's left hand shield finally arrived in time, narrowly blocking the shot.
"What incredible marksmanship," Liu Hai said, looking at Xu Jingming. "My left hand shield and right hand sword almost couldn't block it."
"Master, don't lose to your apprentice!" Xu Jingming smiled. Just now, the move he suddenly used was based on one of the five unique gun techniques from the first part of "Hua Guang," called "Connecting Gun Technique."
Of the five primary martial arts techniques, Xu Jingming valued chain strikes above all else.
Because of his experience being possessed by 'Xuan', Xu Jingming was very clear that Xuan's strongest gun skill was only one move, 'Stab'. Strictly speaking, it was a combo stab! Various kinds of combo ways. Xuan could combo millions of times.
Comboing, against Xuan, has become instinct.
Xu Jingming practiced his Huí Hóng Qiáng (Rainbow Gun Technique) while honing his willpower, striving for consecutive strikes.
"Poof poof poof!!!" Xu Jingming began to show his fangs. At first, it was just a warm-up, and also a 'misconception' given to the master, that the apprentice's marksmanship was like this. Afterwards, he unexpectedly unleashed a flurry of gunshots!
This is the fighting strategy that Master often teaches! A sudden reversal will leave the enemy stunned, and as long as you gain a 'trace' of reaction time, victory may be yours.
Liu Hai was indeed caught off guard, but his shield and sword coordination, and his mastery of defense, allowed him to hold strong.
Since he had unleashed a combo attack, Xu Jingming no longer held back.
"Rainbow Spear Technique."
"Kill."
Xu Jingming abandoned all other gun techniques, with only one move - a thrust, fully displaying the Rainbow Gun Technique!
Unceasing combos.
Double hit, triple hit, six hit!
According to Xu'an's requirements, Xu Jingming can now qualify and at most achieve a 'six-hit combo'! The so-called six-hit combo is not about having equal intervals between each shot, but rather accumulating strength with every shot, borrowing the power of one shot to fuel the next, ultimately channeling all the accumulated force into the sixth shot, making it the fastest.
The condition for using the technique is simply to cast it twice. The simpler the technique, the easier it is to perform. The more times you chain together attacks, the harder it becomes to execute, even for someone with Xu Jingming's current level of mastery.
"What a terrifying aim!" Liu Hai, with his left hand firmly gripping his large shield and giving it everything he had to defend himself, found himself needing to use his right hand's sword for assistance.
Xu Jingming's attack was too fierce, like a wave, his gun shadows constantly flickering.
Continuous stabbing!
A slight lapse in concentration, and the gun would exploit that weakness to kill him. Therefore, Liu Hai dared not be distracted for even a moment.
"Break, break, break it open for me!" The better Master guarded, the stronger Xu Jingming's attack will became. He usually practiced his gun skills by aiming at nothing, at arrows, stones, or imaginary opponents. But facing his Master like this was so much more satisfying! Master's defensive moves were too perfect, pushing Xu Jingming to seek even greater gunmanship.
Under the surge of exhilaration, with his mental and spiritual willpower burning ever brighter, Xu Jingming's spear danced like a phantom. As he struck six times in rapid succession, he seamlessly transitioned into a seventh strike. At this moment, Xu Jingming felt an overwhelming sense of satisfaction, as if everything flowed naturally. He effortlessly unleashed the seventh, eighth, and finally, the explosive ninth strike!
Nine hit combo!
According to Xuan's description, being able to perform a qualified Nine-Chain Strike during the planetary life stage represents mastery in terms of combos. Achieving Thirty-Six Chain Strikes is considered a great achievement. At this stage, it is difficult to find an opponent at the same level.
"Splendid! Splendid!" When Xu Jingming unleashed the Nine Linked Strikes, he felt an incredible sense of exhilaration, so much so that his scalp felt like it was about to burst.
Practicing tens of thousands of shots every day, striving for even stronger gun skills.
When the breakthrough finally comes, that sense of achievement and exhilaration makes your heart and soul tremble with fervor.
At this moment——
Xu Jingming's personal combat strength panel, where "Actual Combat Bonus: 85%" was once displayed, has quietly changed to "Actual Combat Bonus: 100%."
"This marksmanship..."
Xu Jingming, as he executed the Nine Consecutive Strikes of the Rainbow Piercing Technique, felt an overwhelming sense of exhilaration and satisfaction. However, facing this technique, Liu Hai experienced a stark contrast. He instinctively sensed a profound sense of danger!
He felt death approaching, he couldn't withstand such marksmanship!
"Could I not even hold onto this" Liu Hai's heart trembled at that moment, a tremor of anger and unwillingness! His lifelong cultivation, though he had studied various schools across the globe, always centered around Tai Chi!
Ethereum is the foundation, and with both shield and sword, he excels in defense.
Since he first participated in the World Martial Arts Championship, he has never been injured!
And now there are eight generations of inheritance, also possessing cosmic legends, both of whom are equally skilled in shield and blade, matching him perfectly. His defense has become even more extraordinary, defense is what he takes most pride in.
The apprentice is now also at the peak of the fourth rank. At the same level, he can tolerate being suppressed! But he cannot tolerate being unable to defend himself! This is his last pride in terms of 'defense'!
"Stop him!"
When Xu Jingming unleashed his ninth strike, it was also the most terrifying blow of the Nine Consecutive Strikes.
Liu Hai had only one thought: he must stop it, no matter the cost.
At this moment, he was retreating rapidly. His shield was too heavy and he couldn't move it in time. With a quick twist of his right hand, his sword drew an incredibly beautiful arc, narrowly missing its mark. In the last instant, it slashed against Xu Jingming's gun barrel, causing the spear to veer off course, grazing Liu Hai's body as it passed by.
"It blocked it." Liu Hai felt immense joy, and at the same time, he understood, "I finally understand why that legendary sword from cosmic legends was so fast."
At this moment, Liu Hai's personal battle power panel's "Combat Bonus: 102%." had already changed to "Combat Bonus 120%".
"What"
With the most exhilarating nine-strike combo unleashed, Xu Jingming felt he could win. The final shot, gathering the momentum of the previous eight, was simply too fast.
But as the Master retreated, shield in hand, a flash of blade turned, leaving an incomparably beautiful trace of sword light imprinted on Xu Jingming's heart. This sword light, inexplicably, blocked the last bullet, leaving Xu Jingming in disbelief—could this actually be blockedrk, most people enter the virtual world. 。"Hengfang nodded gently: "Yes, now selling goods is all about livestreaming sales in the virtual world." 。In the virtual world, you can try on clothes at wil...
