Seeing Wu Huan standing silently in front of him, Wang Zheng quickly stepped forward and reached out to pull her up.
He sincerely admired the girl's innate resilience.
Such progress in just two months is something that cannot be achieved simply through hard work.
And even though she had no chance to fight back against Wang Zheng, we also have to consider that Wang Zheng is an abnormally powerful cheater.
Judging from her fierce and ruthless swordsmanship, her precise and vicious close-quarters combat, and her self-contained system of routines without any specific moves, it's clear that she came from a practical combat background.
It seems this little girl must have killed quite a few strange beasts during the Lunar New Year period.
Wang Zheng still remembered that Wu Huan's hometown was Haigang in Jiangnan. He had heard from Shan Changxu, that big mouth, that Yu Shaoting, one of the three special forces members, had gone to Haigang to help because of her water-based superpowers when the military region was on a mission.
Moreover, the Commander-in-Chief mentioned last time that things weren't peaceful in the Yellow Sea and Bohai Sea. Thinking about it carefully, something must have happened there.
'Hmm, I'll find a chance to call Brother Dang and ask if anything has really happened at the harbor.'
Although this port has never been particularly prominent among the Thirteen Protectors of Jiangnan, it is still one of the prefecture-level cities in Jiangnan. As the command center for the defense of Jiangnan, the Jingnan Military Region must be able to gather some information.
With that thought in mind, Wang Zheng stopped thinking about it and praised Wu Huan:
"You've made great progress recently. You're quite skilled in both swordsmanship and the use of special effects of visualization objects."
It's clear you've had a lot of challenges this winter break, but you can't be complacent. Your visualization skills are very strong, and you'll need to keep working hard in the future.
As for attacking... you're better than me at swordsmanship, so I can't give you any pointers.
However, in close combat, you are too bound by routines, which makes you lose your agility. Moreover, your power is insufficient when you are unarmed, and you cannot make good use of the power of special effects.
Hmm...you could consider trying a fighting blade or a short dagger to increase your lethality..."
Hearing Wang Zheng continuously point out his shortcomings, Wu Huan pursed his lips and nodded silently.
Although he heard Wang Zheng's praise, Wu Huan was still somewhat sullen, and finally said in a low voice with a dejected tone:
"Even my strongest attack couldn't break through your defense, Captain, you didn't even activate your spiritual energy shield..."
Wang Zheng smiled and quickly interrupted her.
"I know you're ambitious, but you don't need to belittle yourself or compare yourself to me in everything."
I'm currently ranked number one on Nanjing University's strength list. Do you really think the teachers just randomly ranked me like that? I'm not being arrogant, but in the entire Nanjing University, including the upperclassmen, there aren't many people who can make me lose blood. In terms of sheer attack power, you can be proud of yourself.
"Look at that scoundrel over there. He's completely stunned by you. Do you believe that even if I stand still, none of his moves can break through my defense?"
Mei Yiqi: ? ? ?
'What does this have to do with me? You don't have to love me, but please don't hurt me! Don't I have any pride?'
Seeing Mei Yiqi's dark and unwilling expression, Wu Huan felt a little better.
Then Wang Zheng ignored the strong-willed girl and turned to Mei Yiqi, who was frowning, and asked seriously:
"Have you seen the difference?"
Upon hearing Wang Zheng call his name, Mei Yiqi was jolted out of his thoughts, his face flushed red with embarrassment.
Yes, he used to be arrogant and considered himself a genius.
He is a cockroach who never admits defeat. His only goal is Wang Zheng. He never takes any of his classmates seriously. He arrogantly believes that one day he will defeat Wang Zheng fair and square.
Only now did he suddenly realize how big the gap was between him and Wang Zheng, so big that he began to doubt himself.
Even Wu Huan, whom he had never taken seriously, had already left him far behind.
Indeed, Wu Huan often practiced alone at the martial arts hall, and apart from Wang Zheng, he was the first among his classmates to fully manifest the object of his visualization.
But his arrogance prevented him from ever taking the girl seriously.
But after witnessing today's less-than-stellar sparring match, he kept questioning himself.
Wang Zheng is right, he has realized the gap, so what?
Self-doubt? Giving up on oneself?
No, he wants to catch up with Wang Zheng!
Previously, he was obsessed with beating Wang Zheng. Whenever he made some progress, he would be complacent and secretly compare himself with Wang Zheng. He even ignored the fact that he was not even the strongest in his class besides Wang Zheng.
But today's competition between Wang Zheng and Wu Huan made him realize his own limitations, and he will work harder to catch up and surpass them!
First, become the strongest in your class, and then surpass Wang Zheng!
That was him, that was the proud Mei Yiqi of the past!
Having had his inner constraints lifted by Wang Zheng, Mei Yiqi felt an unprecedented sense of relaxation. He looked intently at Wang Zheng and said, word by word:
"Yes, I see it clearly, but you wait, one day I will catch up with you! And surpass you!"
Wang Zheng watched as the guy's expression changed from full of confidence to frowning, from confusion to determination, and he felt happy.
'Tsk tsk tsk, none of my classmates are ordinary people. Putting Chu Xiaoman aside, Wu Huan and Mei Yiqi will definitely have a bright future as long as they don't give up on themselves.'
After sighing for a while, Wang Zheng took out the same standard Queen's Honey Dew, liquid spiritual energy, and high-grade crystal standard three-piece set from his storage space and threw them over.
