"To be honest, this is also the first time I've ever seen Teacher being this strict. Although Teacher was always very serious during my previous training, he rarely ever got angry.
However, one thing I'm certain about is that Teacher absolutely hates people making the same mistake repeatedly, and he always means what he says—he never goes back on his word."
Being stared at by everyone, Tang San, in order to be able to eat in peace, could only sacrifice a bit of his meal time to explain Master's personality to everyone.
Speaking of which, Tang San was actually very grateful to Ao Siqing. This kind of question was practically giving him a legitimate opportunity to display his sincerity and integrate into the group.
After hearing Tang San's words, everyone realized that the ten minutes Master had given them to eat was definitely not a joke.
If they couldn't finish their food on time, they really might be hungry the entire morning.
The cafeteria fell completely silent. Everyone was busy eating. Ten minutes wasn't long, but as long as they didn't deliberately waste time, finishing breakfast wouldn't be an issue.
Half an hour after breakfast, everyone appeared on time on a small flat clearing in front of the obstacle course. This place was considered the training ground of the training base; whenever they assembled, it was always here.
This time, there were no other teachers present, but Master was already standing there waiting for them.
Master's stiff and stern face was full of deterrence, making every student being watched by him feel their heart skip a beat, as if it had missed one rhythm.
Once the students quickly lined up, Master didn't waste a single word and directly began the training:
"Very good. It seems none of you are truly stupid enough to test my patience.
Now the training officially begins. We'll start with a few sparring battles to warm you up.
First match: Dai Mubai versus Ao Siqing. Neither of you is allowed to use soul tools. The requirement is that Ao Siqing must endure Dai Mubai's attacks for fifteen minutes.
Of course, if you, Ao Siqing, can exhaust Dai Mubai's soul power or directly defeat Dai Mubai, then Dai Mubai's training load for today will increase by twenty percent.
Everyone else move back. Ao Siqing and Dai Mubai begin immediately."
Perhaps because Master's tone was extremely stern, everyone subconsciously moved faster than usual.
During the moment when the field cleared, Ao Siqing's mind was racing wildly:
"Can't use soul tools and no need to pursue victory. Master's intention should be to train my ability to use the Flame Armor Shield.
Close combat is unavoidable, but fortunately Boss Dai's fighting style isn't like Xiao Wu's special type; his is still conventional close combat.
From what I've observed before, the speed and agility I've built up from daily sparring with Cohen aren't at a disadvantage against Boss Dai.
That way, my only close-combat technique—boxing—should still be able to have some effect.
Unfortunately, the Five-Animal Exercise I've mastered can only train physical fitness and temper mental strength; it has no actual combat ability. Otherwise my close-combat strength would be much better.
The primary goal of this spar is to last long enough, so the main strategy must be attack as secondary, movement and defense as primary.
Use the right-hand Flame Armor Shield in front—the orthodox southpaw stance—and use the shield to enhance my jabs to control distance from Boss Dai.
The Flame Armor Shield's defense is strong enough. With what I know of Boss Dai's attack methods, he shouldn't be able to break through the Flame Armor Shield with a single hit.
But I still have to be careful not to let him hit the same spot multiple times continuously—not only because the defense might break, but also because the heavier the impact the Flame Armor Shield takes, the more soul power I will consume.
Since the goal is to last long, controlling soul-power consumption is crucial.
Since we're talking about soul power, let's analyze soul-skill usage: my first and second soul skills reduce consumption, help recovery, and increase total soul power. These must be used right at the start.
As for my third soul skill, there's no need to rush using it against Boss Dai; this can avoid the awkward situation of entering a soul-power downtime immediately at the beginning."
And then—well, there was no "then."The field had already been cleared.Master gave the command, the battle began, and Ao Siqing's strategizing ended there.
Knowing Ao Siqing's Flame Armor Shield had excellent defense, Dai Mubai didn't hesitate at all. With a tiger's roar, his three soul rings appeared as he charged straight toward Ao Siqing.
Facing this predictable situation, Ao Siqing remained calm. While Dai Mubai still needed a moment to close distance, he rapidly chanted:
"Vigor Overflowing, Charcoal-Grilled Cheese Beef Burger."
"Soul Power Fountain, Spicy Pepper Fragrant Beef Burger."
He successfully swallowed two mini-burgers before Dai Mubai reached him.
He summoned the Flame Armor Shield, raised his guard to protect his head and face, lowered his stance and swayed aside to dodge Dai Mubai's sweeping right tiger palm.
As he stood back up, taking advantage of Dai Mubai's still-unrecovered right arm, Ao Siqing gathered soul power into his left fist and hooked a punch into the gap under Dai Mubai's right ribs.
Originally, Ao Siqing wanted to imitate Tyson and follow up with an uppercut to the chin, but reality didn't allow it.
Although soul-power enhancement and the Flame Armor Shield's boost to total strength increased the power of his left hook,it still could not achieve Tyson-level destructive power to break the defense of an opponent of similar weight.
The White Tiger Martial Soul provided Dai Mubai with considerable defensive enhancement. Ao Siqing's soul-power-enhanced punch absolutely could not break that with a single strike.
His left hand quickly returned to guard. The energy shield on the Flame Armor Shield flashed and deflected Dai Mubai's basic version of White Tiger Light Wave.
As he slid backward, he leaned his head away to dodge Dai Mubai's left tiger palm. Seeing that Dai Mubai had no intention of protecting his face and continued chasing, Ao Siqing seized the opportunity.
Left foot planted, right foot stepped forward—the jade-like rhinoceros horn on the Flame Armor Shield thrust forward in a heavy jab toward Dai Mubai's face.
Ao Siqing's right-hand-forward, left-hand-back boxing stance, along with his heavy right-hand jab technique, was something he specifically trained after acquiring the Flame Armor Shield external soul bone.
Before that, because Ao Siqing was right-handed, his boxing training had always been the traditional orthodox stance (left hand forward, right hand back).
To better utilize the Flame Armor Shield's offensive power, Ao Siqing even trained continuous-jab techniques. However, this was not the right moment to use them.
Dai Mubai clearly did not expect Ao Siqing to counterattack so sharply instead of hiding behind the Flame Armor Shield defensively.
Having witnessed Xiao Wu being struck head-on by the Flame Armor Shield yesterday, Dai Mubai absolutely did not dare take Ao Siqing's jab with his face.
It was already too late to retreat. Dai Mubai could only lean his head back as far as possible and spit another White Tiger Light Wave at the Flame Armor Shield.
At the same time, his right tiger claws extended and slashed toward Ao Siqing's left guard fist, forcing him to withdraw his right punch to defend.
However, Ao Siqing had attacked first. The initiator of a move always held the advantage in momentum.
Seeing that his heavy jab would no longer land on Dai Mubai's face, Ao Siqing decided there was no need to clash Flame Armor Shield directly against the Light Wave.
He withdrew his right hand and immediately used a cross-step to dash to his left—Dai Mubai's right side—successfully avoiding both the White Tiger Light Wave and the right-hand tiger claws, while once again exposing the defensive opening at Dai Mubai's right ribs.
