Leng Yue's combat experience was indeed formidable. Her attacks were like a continuous drizzle, not overtly sharp, yet impossible to ignore.
Zhou Yan's spear techniques were also quite strong, boasting the SSS-grade "Tyrant Spear Art." Its primary characteristic was its ferocious destructive power, with each strike unleashing a booming sound of air being torn apart.
With every move Zhou Yan made, the students held their breath, fearing his attacks might land on their delicate teacher, Leng Yue.
Only Zhou Yan himself knew that his attacks, though seemingly domineering and full of power, always appeared to be on the verge of hitting Leng Yue.
Yet, he couldn't land a blow. Even if he wanted to, he simply couldn't.
He truly couldn't, not because he was holding back. He realized he had overestimated himself.
Teacher Leng Yue didn't confront him head-on. She expertly dodged his powerful assaults, patiently waiting for an opening to launch her own flurry of attacks. This forced Zhou Yan to constantly be wary of her strikes.
Despite Leng Yue not possessing great physical strength, Zhou Yan always felt her attacks were incredibly potent. A seemingly harmless move could deliver a tremendous force.
"This shouldn't be Teacher Leng Yue's own strength. I wonder if it's the cultivation technique or the martial skill."
Zhou Yan didn't rest. He was desperately trying to decipher Leng Yue's combat methods, to understand what lay behind her strategy against him.
His offense was like a dragon, attempting to force Leng Yue into revealing an opening through his overwhelming power.
His spearplay was like a dragon's, transforming his long spear into a series of afterimages as he launched a barrage of fierce attacks at Leng Yue. His spear techniques were indeed powerful, and his attacks incredibly swift. Even Leng Yue, for a time, couldn't find a good countermeasure, constantly keeping her distance from Zhou Yan.
Leng Yue consistently prioritized evasion, never engaging Zhou Yan in a head-on clash. This was a testament to her understanding of combat.
When facing an opponent stronger than oneself, never blindly resort to brute force. Learn to leverage your own advantages to defeat your opponent.
This provided immense benefit to many students. Such effortless combat was not something ordinary people could achieve.
Zhou Yan also didn't make much progress. He wanted to learn from her combat techniques, not resorting to any overly powerful martial skills to win. Otherwise, he would have completely missed out on a crucial battle for him.
This spar was incredibly enlightening for Zhou Yan.
Combat wasn't solely about brute strength, high attributes, or powerful skills to achieve victory.
When encountering a true master, his perceived formidable methods would prove utterly inadequate.
He was fortunate to engage in such a battle with Leng Yue, as it prevented him from being helpless and forced into a desperate retreat when facing similar opponents in the future.
He began to use his movement techniques to pursue Leng Yue. Zhou Yan's powerful footwork truly surprised Leng Yue. Seeing Zhou Yan's sudden attack, she didn't panic, clearly having anticipated it.
She once again evaded Zhou Yan's attack, her body moving like a boneless snake. With a tricky maneuver, her body only a finger's width from the ground, she targeted Zhou Yan's feet.
Zhou Yan retreated repeatedly, sweeping his spear. But Leng Yue had already dodged and unleashed a sword strike, sending a streak of green sword energy towards Zhou Yan.
Zhou Yan quickly dodged, but Leng Yue's offense, once initiated, wouldn't stop so easily. She continuously unleashed several sword energies, forcing Zhou Yan to keep evading.
Then she swung her sword again. Zhou Yan instinctively dodged, but this was merely a feint by Leng Yue. She cleverly used the moment Zhou Yan was evading to launch a decisive blow.
Her speed increased tenfold, like lightning, as she shot forward, gripping her weapon and thrusting it towards Zhou Yan.
"Not good!"
Zhou Yan's face paled with alarm. He quickly activated "Shifting Stars," releasing a protective barrier to firmly defend himself.
Leng Yue's longsword landed on Zhou Yan, but it was blocked by a powerful energy.
"Quick reaction!" Leng Yue, her attack unsuccessful, immediately retreated. This again foiled Zhou Yan's subsequent counterattack.
Teacher Leng Yue was truly a difficult opponent. This was the first time he had encountered such a troublesome adversary. Despite possessing top-tier movement techniques, he couldn't land a hit. Instead, he had to constantly guard against her unpredictable attacks.
He also learned a lot of combat skills, realizing that brute force alone would never win against her. He also recognized how poor his understanding of skills was, failing to unleash their full potential.
Unlike Leng Yue, who wielded various skills with ease, maximizing the effectiveness of every attack and calculating every move.
Furthermore, Leng Yue possessed ingenious attack techniques, agile and incredibly fast, reacting swiftly, leaving him with no recourse.
The students watching Leng Yue and Zhou Yan's battle didn't see it as mere combat, but rather a demonstration of skills, or more precisely, Leng Yue's artistic display of mastery over her techniques.
She fully showcased the synergy of her skills. Even the weakest of moves, within her continuous onslaught, could unleash formidable power.
Zhou Yan attacked again, and Leng Yue actively met his assault. Against his attacks, Leng Yue still prioritized evasion, but her combat suddenly shifted. In an unexpected move, she directly clashed with his attack.
However, Zhou Yan didn't feel his attack had any effect. Instead, he felt his own immense power being deflected. It seemed to have taken a detour and returned directly towards him.
"Stumble, stumble, stumble!!!"
Zhou Yan finally experienced the terrifying power of his own strength, forcing him back over a dozen steps. Each step left a deep imprint on the ground.
As he retreated, Leng Yue gave him no chance to breathe.
A gust of wind swept through, and petals danced in the air. The students watched this beautiful scene, mesmerized by Leng Yue, who appeared like a celestial being.
But for Zhou Yan, this beautiful spectacle was filled with deadly intent. As the scattered petals transformed into deadly projectiles, he realized the terrifying殺機 hidden beneath the exquisite exterior.
Seeing the airborne petals, Zhou Yan hastily dodged. The incredibly beautiful petals had become the most fearsome projectiles, whistling through the air and constantly assaulting Zhou Yan.
"Swish, swish, swish!!!"
The petals stuck into the ground where Zhou Yan had dodged. These petals remained completely unharmed, looking as if they had grown there. The onlookers were astonished.
Teacher Leng Yue's control over spiritual energy had reached an astonishing level.
Without damaging the flowers, she could turn harmless petals into the deadliest weapons.
Zhou Yan was forced to resort to other means. He unleashed his powerful Yin Yang energy, intending to counterattack. But in an instant, he sensed something and rapidly flew upwards, leaping onto the rooftop of the pavilion.
"Boom!"
In that instant, the petals that had fallen to the ground erupted with terrifying energy, blasting the ground apart, like a shower of mud.
"Kid, you reacted fast. Otherwise, this fight would have ended," Leng Yue said with praise.
The students outside were astounded. They never imagined Teacher Leng Yue possessed such formidable prowess. This series of attacks had all been meticulously planned. If it were them, they would have already been defeated.
"Teacher Leng Yue's combat experience is terrifying. I actually feel a bit sorry for Zhou Yan now. He's fighting so hard."
"Zhou Yan's strength is also very high. His reactions are so fast, and his movement speed is incredible. If it weren't for that, he wouldn't have lasted this long."
"I notice Teacher Leng Yue has consumed very little energy so far. Truly a teacher. Her techniques, her skills... I don't know when I'll be able to learn them."
