Chapter 36: A Loose Sand
"Heh, it seems you can't wait any longer."
"Only by sparring with you personally can I better identify your weaknesses, and then better tailor my teaching to your individual needs, develop a more comprehensive training plan, and unleash your potential!"
"All of you, come at me together!"
Hearing the whispers of the group, Wu Changkong responded calmly.
"Attack together!"
Gazing at Wu Changkong standing proudly in the distance, Yu Chen activated his Golden Eyes with a thought, and, holding the naginata, chose to take the initiative.
"clear!"
Gu Yue gave a simple reply and prepared to cooperate with the others, while activating the wind element to bless herself and Yu Chen.
While manipulating the earth element, turning Wu Changkong's feet into a swamp, he also summoned ice spikes and fireballs, which he hurled at Wu Changkong.
On the other side, upon hearing Yu Chen's words, Tang Wulin also took out his Thousand-Refined Tungsten Steel Hammer and rushed forward without hesitation. At the same time, he activated the Entangling Soul Skill of Blue Silver Grass to bind Wu Changkong.
Xie Xie, on the other hand, moved with lightning speed, wielding the Light Dragon Dagger and unleashing golden blades of light that attacked Wu Changkong from behind.
The group launched their attacks from different angles, their coordination appearing flawless.
"Naive. Your teamwork looks impressive, but it's actually full of flaws."
With a flick of his wooden sword, Wu Changkong precisely struck the weakest point on the naginata. Yu Chen felt a numbness in his palm, and the weapon slipped from his hand.
Immediately afterwards, a clever force came, and Wu Changkong grabbed his clothes and swung him up, smashing him like a cannonball into the many unstable elements attacking Gu Yue!
While still in mid-air, the muscle sluggishness that came with the Soul Pressure training resurfaced faintly.
"Oh no..."
From the previous battle between Yu Chen and Gu Yue, Wu Changkong had also discerned to some extent the effects of Yu Chen's "soul skills," which were either related to speed or time, and both of them were quite troublesome.
Therefore, in order to have a deterrent effect, Wu Changkong faced Yu Chen with no reservations in terms of speed, only slightly controlling his strength.
As for why he grabbed the clothes instead of his more convenient hands, after observing Yu Chen for a period of time, Wu Changkong knew how extraordinary Yu Chen's strength was, so he avoided his strength.
"not good."
Gu Yue used elemental attacks to cover Yu Chen's retreat. To this end, Gu Yue stopped controlling the elements when they approached Wu Changkong, causing the elemental attacks to become unstable and explode.
But now these attacks have become a means to attack Yu Chen.
"Time zero".
At the critical moment, Yu Chen used Time Zero to escape unscathed, but because he had been thrown out, he couldn't get any leverage in the air and still looked somewhat disheveled.
Ouch! x2
After Yu Chen safely escaped Gu Yue's elemental attack, Tang Wulin and Xie Xie also encountered a change of events.
Rewind to just now, after Wu Changkong threw Yu Chen,
Tang Wulin's Blue Silver Grass then wrapped around Wu Changkong, but Wu Changkong only swung his sword a few times and cut Tang Wulin's Blue Silver Grass into several sections. Even though Tang Wulin's Blue Silver Grass had mutated and become extremely resilient, Wu Changkong dealt with it effortlessly.
Then Tang Wulin, wielding the Thousand-Refined Silver Hammer in both hands, defended with his right hand and attacked with his left, and attacked Wu Changkong. Xie Xie was also getting closer and closer to Wu Changkong's back.
Despite being attacked from both sides, Wu Changkong remained calm and composed.
"Ding!"
Wu Changkong's wooden sword struck first, piercing Tang Wulin's right-hand hammer with a metallic clang. Then, Tang Wulin's Thousand-Refined Silver Hammer struck his chest, the force of which sent him staggering backward.
When his first attack failed, Tang Wulin devised another plan. He then swung his left hammer and threw it at Wu Changkong. With the weight of the Thousand-Refined Silver Hammer and the stacking hammer effect brought by the blood sacrifice, this attack might have an unexpected effect.
Faced with Tang Wulin's attack, Wu Changkong casually flicked his wooden sword and slashed horizontally at the flying heavy silver hammer.
As the hammer and sword clashed, Wu Changkong felt a considerable force emanating from the wooden sword in his hand. Although it couldn't compare to his own strength, he wasn't currently unleashing his martial spirit, and he was only using a small portion of his soul power. He immediately realized that his wooden sword was struggling to withstand the force.
Fortunately, with Yu Chen and Gu Yue, whose stats and mechanics are even more outstanding, Wu Changkong also has high expectations for Tang Wulin and Xie Xie, and has put more effort into this practical battle.
Just as the wooden sword was about to break, more soul power was injected, enabling the wooden sword to successfully block the attack.
"The mutated Blue Silver Grass, and that terrifying strength second only to Yu Chen, it seems you are not simple either, Tang Wulin."
After making a quick mental assessment of Tang Wulin, Wu Changkong also began to have some expectations for Xie Xie's performance.
"Each of them has really given me quite a surprise! So, Xie Xie, how did you do?"
Seeing Yu Chen and the other two surprise him time and time again, Wu Changkong also began to look forward to Xie Xie, one of the four.
Just then, Xie Xie launched his attack, unleashing his first soul skill and sending out several light blades towards Wu Changkong. However, Wu Changkong seemed to have eyes in the back of his head. Holding a wooden sword behind his back, he simply swung it a few times and then dodged all the attacks with a sidestep.
Wu Changkong was already prepared to engage Xie Xie in a bit of a struggle. After all, Xie Xie was an agility-based Soul Master, and if he played his part well, he could manage to hold his own against him.
But to everyone's surprise, Xie Xie charged at Wu Changkong like a fool. Wu Changkong knocked away the Light Dragon Dagger with a sword and then kicked Xie Xie directly into Tang Wulin's body with a right straight kick.
"Ha, is this all you've got? Looks like I overestimated you. Well then, it's my turn next!"
Wu Changkong neutralized their teamwork; he was like a venomous snake, spewing venom that left them covered in wounds.
Then Wu Changkong moved, wielding a wooden sword and attacking the group.
It profoundly demonstrates what it means to act efficiently, speak warmly, and wield a sword with force.
My genius dreams have been shattered by countless sword strikes; I'm just an ordinary person, teacher. (Funny, just kidding)
.......
After half an hour.
"Very good, that concludes today's special training."
Put away the wooden sword and Wu Changkong gave the order.
"Si, no brain Si."
"Yes, Ms. Dance."
Hearing Wu Changkong's words, Yu Chen and the other three breathed a sigh of relief and lay down on the ground.
At this moment, Tang Wulin and Xie Xie's faces were swollen like pig heads, and they could barely speak. Yu Chen and Gu Yue, on the other hand, were not in such a bad state.
Perhaps it was because Xie Xie was too sarcastic, but Wu Changkong directly offered him a massage with his sword, and then things got out of control.
Xie Xie and Tang Wulin both suffered the consequences, while Yu Chen only avoided becoming a pig's head thanks to the existence of Time Zero. Of course, Wu Changkong didn't intentionally attack their faces; he just happened to do it.
During those half hours, Yu Chen and his three companions were subjected to a barrage of attacks from Wu Changkong. They had to exert every ounce of their strength to withstand Wu Changkong's onslaught and managed to hold on.
However, every effort yields results. In the battle with Wu Changkong, the team's coordination was established, and their combat instincts were greatly improved.
Yu Chen was the same. In the past, Yu Chen's stats and mechanics were so overpowered that he could directly crush opponents with weaker stats. He would only use the Time Zero mechanic when the opponents were evenly matched, but he only used it in a simple way and never brought out the full power of Time Zero.
Now, after his exchange with Wu Changkong and the guidance Wu Changkong provided during the battle, Yu Chen has become even more adept at using his power.
"Well, while your performance wasn't entirely satisfactory, it did have its merits. Now, I'll explain the problems that have surfaced between you..."
Although he thought highly of the group, Wu Changkong was not one to mince words. He merely gave them a faint comment with a hint of approval in his eyes.
