"What's wrong with you, kid?"

Looking at Fang Zheng in front of him, Shi Dong couldn't help but ask curiously. It was no wonder that the great knight had such a question. It was really that Fang Zheng now gave people a very strange feeling. Although he still had the perseverance to persevere, looking at Fang Zheng's expression, it was clear that he was now very tired, and it seemed as if he had not woken up yet.

"It's nothing, Master, I just had a nightmare..."

Hearing Shi Dong's question, Fang Zheng shook his head helplessly.

In fact, it was more than just a nightmare.

"Nightmare? Hahaha, I didn't expect you to have nightmares... It seems that you still have nightmares, which means that my training is not strong enough? Come on, cheer up! By the way, what do you mean by this?"

As he spoke, Shi Dong looked at Fang Zheng's waist curiously. Hanging on Fang Zheng's waist at the moment was not only the standard weapon he used in normal training, but also a dagger.

"Are you planning to play with dual swords too?"

"I just went back yesterday and figured out some techniques."

Hearing Shi Dong's question, Fang Zheng smiled bitterly. If it were normal, he would have wanted to chat with Shi Dong for a few more words. But now, Fang Zheng no longer had the leisure to do so.

“So I’m going to give it a try.”

"Try? Okay, kid. Let me remind you first, don't always think about taking shortcuts. Although the traditional ones do look old-fashioned, they have been passed down for so many years, so there must be a reason for it... Well, then, let me see what you have figured out!"

"Yes, mentor."

As he spoke, Fang Zheng reached out his hands, grasped two swords, one long and one short, and drew them out. Then he stared at Shi Dong closely.

"Um?"

However, when Shi Dong saw Fang Zheng's actions, he was suddenly stunned and even widened his eyes in surprise.

This kid...what's going on?

No wonder Shi Dong was so surprised. He had trained with Fang Zheng for more than ten days and had some understanding of this young man. In Shi Dong's opinion, Fang Zheng's performance until yesterday was similar to what he had guessed. In fact, from the battle with Fang Zheng, Shi Dong had already noticed that this young man had a good fighting spirit, but he didn't seem to be very good at close combat. Although he had an outstanding ability to grasp the situation, he was about the same as a rookie in sword fighting. This made Shi Dong very curious. He could see that Fang Zheng seemed to be better at long-range attacks, but his archery level made Shi Dong shake his head. As for magic... How could this kid look like a mage?

But, that was until yesterday.

In fact, from the moment he met Fang Zheng today, Shi Dong felt that this young man gave him a different feeling. But he couldn't tell what was different for a while. But when he saw Fang Zheng draw his sword, Shi Dong's eyes suddenly lit up, and he finally found out what was wrong with the other party!

If Fang Zheng was just a rookie until yesterday, then the aura he gives people now is like that of a veteran who has experienced hundreds of battles!

In Shi Dong's eyes, Fang Zheng held the sword with both hands, but he did not maintain a balanced posture. On the contrary, his left shoulder drooped slightly and his body was bent. This posture did not look good at all. Ordinary people would think that this soldier could not even hold the sword properly. However, in Shi Dong's eyes, this was a versatile posture that could be used for both attack and defense. In his eyes, Fang Zheng was like a taut spring, staring at him all the time. Once he made a move, he would either be hurt by the opponent or be dodged by the opponent.

What shocked Shi Dong even more was that Fang Zheng did this action very naturally, without any deliberate look. This meant that he didn't deliberately think of it and force himself to do it, but that he had already integrated this habit into his bones! This was a habit that only veterans who had fought for their lives in mountains of corpses and seas of blood would have, and it should never happen to a young man like Fang Zheng!

Is this a coincidence? Or...

Thinking of this, Shi Dong's face became more serious. He slowly raised the two-handed sword in his hand and stared at Fang Zheng. Then, the next moment, Shi Dong suddenly took a step forward, and the huge sword in his hand slashed towards Fang Zheng with force like thunder!

What surprised Shi Dong was that when Fang Zheng swung his sword, he seemed to have anticipated this attack. He rolled to the ground almost at the same time, narrowly avoiding Shi Dong's attack. Then he stood up again, holding two swords, and stared at Shi Dong closely.

"I have indeed made progress."

Looking at Fang Zheng in front of him, Shi Dong nodded with satisfaction. He had deliberately exposed a flaw in the previous attack. If it was the previous Fang Zheng, he would have been unable to resist and counterattacked. However, Fang Zheng's reaction just now was very fast. He dodged and stood up in one go. The most important thing was that he successfully suppressed his desire to attack. This was the reaction that a qualified fighter should have. Rushing forward to fight with others is something that only a fool would do. Any qualified fighter must learn to make choices. When to attack and when to defend, if you don't have an accurate judgment in your mind, then the only outcome is death.

"Well, try this again!"

At this moment, Shi Dong also became interested. He raised the giant sword again and attacked Fang Zheng again.

Since this was just a "training", neither Shi Dong nor Fang Zheng used those swordsmanship with gorgeous light and shadow effects, which were powerful enough to destroy everything in the sky, the earth, or the air. Instead, they simply competed in swordsmanship, slashing and sweeping. Under Shi Dong's hand, the giant sword was full of power, and it slashed towards Fang Zheng from time to time. Fang Zheng swayed left and right, and repeatedly dodged Shi Dong's attacks by rolling over and over.

Really interesting!

Shi Dong felt that Fang Zheng was not simple at the moment. On the surface, Fang Zheng seemed to be in a very awkward situation when facing his attack. But only Shi Dong understood that Fang Zheng's dodging skills, which looked not very good, were actually very clever. Not only could he avoid the attack every time, but he could also keep the ability to counterattack at any time.

And more importantly, until now, Fang Zheng has not fought back!

Shi Dong didn't think it was because Fang Zheng was focusing on dodging, because he could instinctively sense a faint sense of threat, and more importantly, Fang Zheng's left hand had been holding the dagger backwards, and he hadn't made a move until now. And Shi Dong definitely didn't think that Fang Zheng was just using the sword for show.

"call!!"

The giant sword thrust forward again, and Fang Zheng, just as Shi Dong had expected, suddenly rolled to the side to avoid the attack. Then, Shi Dong grasped the giant sword tightly in his right hand, swung it backwards, and chopped down at Fang Zheng with all his strength.

At the same time, Fang Zheng suddenly stopped rolling, he rushed forward suddenly, and then swung the dagger in his left hand towards Shi Dong's right hand!

not good!!

The moment he saw Fang Zheng's action, Shi Dong was suddenly shocked. He didn't know what was wrong. But Shi Dong's fighting instinct told him that this attack was not good!

Unfortunately, Shi Dong had no time to change his tactics at this moment. He could only watch as the dagger in Fang Zheng's left hand hit the end of his giant sword heavily.

"clang!!"

With the sound of collision, the two swords collided with each other, and then the giant sword was thrown back. This scene looked a bit unbelievable. But Shi Dong didn't care about it at all. At this moment, he was so scared that he broke out in a cold sweat!

Because Shi Dong was horrified to find that at the moment when Fang Zheng blocked his attack, his body strength seemed to disappear completely, and he couldn't even stand up. It was as if his body didn't belong to him at all, and he knelt directly on the ground! ! And his right hand naturally couldn't hold the weapon, so it flew backwards.

At this moment, Shi Dong couldn't even dodge. He could only watch as the long sword in Fang Zheng's right hand stabbed towards him!

Just as Fang Zheng's sword reached Shi Dong's chest, Shi Dong felt that his body was finally back under his control. At this moment, under the threat of death, Shi Dong chose to burst out with strength without hesitation!

"boom!!"

A roaring gale instantly gushed out with Shi Dong as the center, forming a storm armor surrounding his body. Fang Zheng had never expected that the other party would "cheat" at the last moment, and was immediately blown away and fell heavily to the ground.

Fortunately, Shi Dong quickly reacted at this moment. Looking at Fang Zheng lying on the ground, his old face turned red and he quickly retracted his strength.

"Teacher, you are too..."

Lying on the ground, Fang Zheng looked helplessly at the tall and strong knight in front of him. What happened to the agreement that the two sides were just exchanging ideas? I finally beat you once and you treat me like this? What about the most basic trust between people?

"Ahem, it's my fault. I lost this time. I lost."

Sensing Fang Zheng's gaze, Shi Dong's face turned slightly red, and he readily raised his hand to admit defeat. Then his eyes lit up, and he looked at Fang Zheng as if he had thought of something. Then Shi Dong looked around, and after confirming that there was no one else around, he came to Fang Zheng's side, pulled him up, and then put his arms around Fang Zheng's neck and whispered in his ear.

"Hey, kid, when did you learn this thing... Is this the inheritance of the Holy Spirit?"
