Chapter 321: Strike the Void
A circle of dust erupted from the broken wall, rolling outwards. Then the continuous collision sounds quickly moved elsewhere, but in just a moment, it jumped to the other side.
Students Guo and Liang tried hard to identify them. Even if there was no large cloud of dust in front of them, they still could not see the movements of the two people clearly. They could only barely distinguish the intensity of the battle through the sound. A sense of shock arose in their bodies and minds. Is that classmate Chen really a student like them?
For a moment, they wondered if they had missed class.
Through the previous contact, Chen Chuan knew that he could not let Teacher Jiang launch an offensive, because the latter's speed seemed to be getting faster and faster as the attack went on.
He had finally managed to interrupt the attack once with the help of the stone wall. He would not give such an opportunity again. He needed to suppress it from the front or at least tie up Teacher Jiang and limit his ability to play to his strengths.
This time when he rushed forward, he directly released the restraints on the alienated organization. With his speed and strength suddenly increased, he immediately blocked Teacher Jiang's slash from the front and launched a counterattack.
It was like two opposing waves colliding with each other, stirring up layers of dust and dirt, leaving holes and flying rocks and debris everywhere. Because the two men moved too fast, the rising cloud of dust seemed to reveal traces of cuts left on it.
Teacher Jiang noticed the changes in Chen Chuan and realized that he must have used some kind of explosive technique, which could make the medicine work more efficiently.
He also discovered that Chen Chuan's attacks were no longer as cautious and restrained as before, but were becoming more and more aggressive, with a faster and faster pace, as if he wanted to suppress his offensive momentum.
Oh? You found out so quickly?
No wonder the combat decision-making was rated top-notch...
With his senses gradually approaching the third limit, Chen Chuan discovered from Teacher Jiang's breathing rhythm and movement trajectory that this person's flashing movements during each attack were not only to prevent the opponent from grasping his position, but also a way of exerting force.
It requires a certain rhythmic movement to drive the strength so that the power of the sword can be maximized.
The slap he gave him at the very beginning before the real fight started was not without purpose. It was to make him think that his casual blow had great power. But in fact, that blow was also made after a short movement and accumulation of strength. It was just that all this was concealed by the seemingly leisurely and relaxed pace.
This is a tactical deception that forces him to adopt a conservative strategy, which is exactly what the other party wants to see.
Teacher Zheng often told him that in a fight, one should guide and control the opponent, rather than be controlled by the opponent. However, Teacher Jiang tried to guide and control him right from the start.
After realizing this, all he had to do was to prevent Teacher Jiang from fully accumulating strength while moving, so he seized the opportunity this time, stepped forward and used offense instead of defense, sticking tightly to the opponent and disrupting his rhythm, so that the power he could draw out would be relatively limited.
Of course, this does not mean that these forces have no lethality, but they are relatively weakened. As a result, he can accumulate advantages in continuous attacks and thus release more power and speed.
The assistant teacher stared intently at the scene, astonished. He hadn't expected Chen Chuanzhen to be able to hold his own against Teacher Jiang. Not only that, but he had also found a strategy to counter the situation so quickly. However, that was all. The drug had a time limit. Perhaps three minutes? Or five?
If it lasts any longer, the second-limit body will not be able to hold on no matter how hard it tries, and will be doomed to not win this battle. The only thing to worry about is that he will refuse to admit defeat and try to hold on, which would be bad.
So he was prepared and would go down to rescue at any time if he saw something wrong.
Teacher Jiang was waving his rapier at this moment, calmly blocking Chen Chuan's attack. Chen Chuan had indeed found the right approach, constantly interrupting and disrupting his movement, preventing him from increasing his sword momentum.
But I'm afraid this is not enough.
Not only did he have the ability to accumulate strength while moving, he could also do it simply by swinging the weapon. Although the changes in the force of Chen Chuandao brought him some trouble and prevented him from accumulating it continuously and quickly, this only prolonged the time and did not change the result much.
Under the continuous attacks, Chen Chuan's condition also improved, and his gradually becoming keener senses made him realize that Teacher Jiang's aura was sinking again, and his strength became restrained and stable, as if it was tightening little by little like a bowstring.
This shows that even in such a high-tempo battle, it is still difficult to completely curb his accumulated power, but his strategy does not stop there.
He didn't wait for Teacher Jiang to continue. The alienated tissue in his body, which still had some residual strength, suddenly mobilized and burst out. The knife flashed and chopped him head-on.
This time the rhythm was very different from the previous one. Teacher Jiang was very clear about the exchange between the two alienated organizations, but he really could not have expected it this time.
With his excellent coordination ability, he turned his rapier and blocked it in time. However, this turn was not in his rhythm, and the momentum he had accumulated before was naturally dispersed.
He couldn't help but give Chen Chuan a high score for this move, especially since his speed had increased, and the subsequent attacks still maintained the same rhythm. He couldn't let Chen Chuan continue to attack. So he adjusted himself and took the opportunity to thrust his sword straight at Chen Chuan's shoulder, hoping to curb his offensive.
However, Chen Chuan paid no attention to the stab, and his sword slashed towards Teacher Jiang without any change. This slash seemed unreasonable. He had obviously gained the upper hand in momentum, and even if he followed up with another sword, it would not have hindered him too much. Instead, allowing the opponent to stab him might result in both sides being injured, wasting a good situation.
Chen Chuan didn't think so, because Teacher Jiang's strength had not yet been accumulated at this moment. If he didn't use his second self, he might be injured in the mutual attack, but the opponent would only be injured more seriously.
It is true that fighters at the third level have strong vitality and may be fine in the end, but being hit by a student, or even both of them being injured, is something the opponent cannot accept in any way.
Teacher Jiang would definitely not allow this to happen. What a joke! He is an assessment teacher. If he is injured by the students he is assessing, will he still have any face left?
Even if he was fine, the fact that he was forced to injure the examinee would still make the other teachers laugh at him, so he had no choice but to stop and fight back again.
This change not only interrupted his originally smooth accumulation process, but also further compressed the range of the weapon's operation.
Teacher Jiang was forced to take a completely defensive stance at this moment. Although Chen Chuan seemed to have taken advantage of some of his psychology just now, he was not angry at all. Instead, he admired him even more in his heart.
Because a fighter should make good use of all factors that are favorable to him. Since he realizes that his opponent is bound by something, he must of course focus on that spot and attack fiercely and repeatedly.
He would do the same if he were in his place.
But one thing to appreciate is that if it continues like this there will be no fight.
It's not that he doesn't have the means to explode, but it would be too embarrassing to do so in front of a student. Of course, he can wait until Chen Chuan's own drug effect is exhausted, but it would be equally inappropriate to spread it. Wouldn't others say that he would have lost if the student's drug effect hadn't been exhausted?
This won't work.
He began to move around constantly, changing his position, and using stone pillars to interfere with Chen Chuan's attack, but Chen Chuan seemed to be stuck to him and followed him from beginning to end.
As the two people passed by, one huge stone pillar after another collapsed. The entire forest of stone pillars was like a boiling steamer, with rolling dust and turbulent sounds everywhere.
After turning around for about ten breaths, the two came to a broken pillar that had been damaged and leaning there. When Teacher Jiang moved from underneath, he gently flicked his hand.
Just as Chen Chuan was about to catch up, a piece of the broken part on it suddenly fell down.
This was what Teacher Jiang had calculated in advance. He didn't expect to stop Chen Chuan this time, but just to hinder him a little, because as soon as he broke free from the entanglement, he would have the opportunity to fight back. Then he could naturally announce that the fight was over. In this way, he would save face and maintain the teacher's dignity.
Chen Chuan also realized this, but he didn't want to give up. He stared at the broken pillar that was about to become an obstacle. With the transmission of his thoughts, the second me instantly overlapped with him. With a bang, he rushed out from the rubble, and at the same time, an extremely swift knife light pierced directly into Teacher Jiang's chest!
Teacher Jiang was shocked to see that his speed increased again. His skin seemed to turn red for a moment, and his speed of retreat suddenly increased. At the same time, his wrist shook slightly, and the thin sword swung, like a snake, entwining the blade of Xuejun Knife in circles. After retreating dozens of meters, both parties stopped there.
He chuckled and said, "Student Chen, the assessment is over. Good job, the teacher will give you a high score."
Chen Chuan looked at him and said, "Thank you, teacher." He slowly withdrew his strength, and the thin sword wrapped around the Xuejun Knife also bounced off section by section, restoring its original straight sword body.
The assistant teacher finally let go of his worries. To be honest, the last moment looked so dangerous that he couldn't help but want to go up and stop it. Fortunately, both of them knew how to restrain themselves. He looked at Teacher Jiang with dissatisfaction. As a teacher, he had no sense of propriety. The students were ignorant, and are you also ignorant?
Teacher Jiang then said, "The simulation is over."
The surrounding scenery disappeared immediately, whether it was the collapsed stone pillars or the dust on the ground, all disappeared, and in front of him was still an empty venue. The specially made floor was as smooth as new, and seemed to be able to reflect people's shadows.
Chen Chuan walked over, picked up the scabbard, put the Xuejun sword back into the sheath, and then said to the two teachers: "Teachers, this student will leave first." After saying hello, he nodded to Liang and Guo, the two students, and left.
Teacher Jiang watched him leave, then touched the clothes on his chest. There was an invisible puncture hole there, as small as the hole of a needle. The tip of the knife had touched his skin. If the force was released in a real fight, the result would be hard to say.
However, he still had one last trick up his sleeve, which was not just to disarm the opponent. His outburst was enough to break the opponent's weapon, and at the very least, it could cut off the transmission of force. However, doing so would definitely make him the object of ridicule by other teachers.
He sighed in his heart, "Students nowadays are getting better and better..." At this time, the assistant teacher's voice rang out, "What are you two still doing standing there? Liang, come over and take the test again."
He thought about it, well, take back what he said...
