Chapter 13 The Three Styles of Staff

Liu Hai, holding a long staff, displayed his staff techniques to attack. After all, he was proficient in all kinds of weapons. Moreover, Liu Hai had imitated Di Tiannuo's staff techniques more than ten times in his personal space training ground, and only came to demonstrate after he was sure of success.

"I attack, you defend, now the first style of staff technique." As Liu Hai spoke, his staff techniques were wide open and imposing, fierce and tyrannical. The staff strikes were like splitting a world apart, and the horizontal sweeps seemed to clear the turbidity of the world.

Xu Jingming held a long spear to defend, focusing on defense.

"This first style of staff technique is upright, vast, and overwhelms people with its momentum," Liu Hai said. "The second style of staff technique is different."

"Whoosh..."

When the second style of staff technique was used, the long staff was always rotating strangely. The rotation caused the attack trajectory of the long staff to be an arc, unpredictable. Moreover, the speed of the long staff breaking through the air was also erratic.

"Hmm?" Xu Jingming also realized the strangeness of this staff technique.

"The third style of staff technique." The moves of the long staff in Liu Hai's hand changed, the moves were shorter, and the changes were extremely fast. Whether it was chopping, picking, poking, sweeping, or twirling... the range of various moves was very small, a bit similar to the 'inch strength' thinking, exerting force at short distances. The staff technique was also a small-scale change of moves, making the attack more dense.

Xu Jingming also blocked them one after another.

"When Di Tiannuo and I fought, I can be sure of these three styles of staff techniques. It may also be mixed with other scattered staff moves, but not systematically." Liu Hai stopped and explained, "Multiple staff techniques are integrated, and he can use them at will, making his moves unpredictable."

"But in front of Master, these basic staff techniques are useless," Xu Jingming said.

"I used my ultimate move to block all of his staff techniques, using his strength to fight back." Liu Hai said, "But once he uses his ultimate move, the staff technique is obviously much faster, and he killed me with two strikes."

Xu Jingming nodded.

"Di Tiannuo must have obtained inheritance." Liu Hai said, "Seeing that he is good at at least three kinds of staff techniques, he may have learned several kinds of inheritance. Each inheritance has several ultimate moves, and he must be good at many ultimate moves, but to deal with me... he only used one ultimate move."

"Yes," Xu Jingming nodded in agreement.

Like the seventh-level inheritance, the price is much cheaper than the eighth-level inheritance. It is also possible for Di Tiannuo to choose several kinds of inheritance.

"The ultimate move he used made his body suddenly more flexible and his staff technique faster." Liu Hai said, "Other ultimate moves... no one knows for the time being. Okay, I've told you everything I should tell you, the final depends on yourself."

"Master, I want to spar with you again," Xu Jingming said.

Liu Hai raised his eyebrows, smiled and nodded: "Okay."

Soon, the two chose their respective armor and weapons, facing each other from a distance.

Bang!

The two moved almost at the same time. Wherever they passed, there were visible air waves. The speed of the two had obviously broken the speed of sound.

After colliding together, Xu Jingming and his master fought together, long spears and shield blades colliding.

"Reincarnation." Liu Hai used his ultimate move without hesitation as soon as he fought, "This apprentice of mine has terrifying power and speed, no less than that Di Tiannuo! Without using my ultimate move, I can't resist it at all."

Using strength to fight back! The saber light howled, dividing yin and yang!

Xu Jingming had long known his master's ultimate move, and his own speed was faster than Di Tiannuo's, and his spear was longer than the staff, with more distance to buffer. He retreated sharply to avoid his master's advancing slash.

"Bang bang bang!!!"

The two sides fought fiercely. Liu Hai used his two major ultimate moves at the same time. No matter how Xu Jingming attacked, he would only counterattack more fiercely. Xu Jingming's spear moved freely. Although he was at a disadvantage, he was obviously in a better situation than Di Tiannuo during the match.

"Water Style, is one of the five ultimate moves. According to An Xuan, the so-called five ultimate moves are just to make it easier for future generations to understand the artistic conception of these ultimate moves. To truly practice spearmanship to the bone, one should naturally integrate the artistic conception of these ultimate moves into every move."

"At that time, even if all the moves are just spear thrusts, they will also have the essence of Water Style, Fire Style, Mountain Style, and Space Domain. That is the real Hua Guang Spearmanship." Xu Jingming comprehended while fighting with his master.

"The easiest thing is to integrate the essence of 'Water Style' into every move." Under the master's use of strength and terrifying counterattacks, Xu Jingming was clearly using many spear techniques, but gradually the artistic conception of 'flowing water' became more and more intense, and the spear moves became more natural.

"Good kid, the power of his spear technique is restrained, and he retracts it every time he touches it, making it difficult for me to use strength," Liu Hai also noticed the change in his apprentice.

"Compared to Di Tiannuo..."

"Di Tiannuo is more violent and fierce, this apprentice of mine has higher combat skills," Liu Hai realized this, "I estimate his combat skills are not much different from mine."

As time went on, Xu Jingming's spear moves became more and more perfect. It became more and more difficult for Liu Hai to use strength, and the power of his counterattack also weakened.

Suddenly—

Xu Jingming unleashed a terrifying spear light!

This spear light was swift and violent, like a rainbow, passing through the gap in Liu Hai's shield blade and piercing Liu Hai's chest.

Liu Hai's body naturally recovered. He looked at his apprentice in surprise: "Just now, that spear technique?"

"It's an ultimate move of mine, called Fire Style." Xu Jingming said happily, "Master's two major ultimate moves have touched me. I have already begun to integrate the essence of Water Style into ordinary moves. The combination of water and fire... suddenly erupted, and this Fire Style has such power."

"Amazing." Liu Hai nodded in praise, "Jingming, you have finally surpassed me."

At this moment, Liu Hai was filled with emotion.

Back then, this apprentice had extraordinary talent. He stepped onto the World Martial Arts Competition too early. After breaking his leg, his future was bleak.

With the arrival of the virtual world, his apprentice truly showed his terrifying potential, constantly chasing and surpassing!

More than ten months after the virtual world opened, his apprentice completely surpassed him!

"I rely on the advantage of strength and speed," Xu Jingming immediately said, "If we had the same strength and speed, I wouldn't be able to break Master's ultimate move."

"Haha, losing is losing." Liu Hai smiled, "Although combat skills are important, evolution is the foundation. If one day, you and Di Tiannuo both break through to become cosmic lifeforms, and I am still just a planetary lifeform. No matter how high my combat skills are, you can easily defeat me with one move."

"Go, the final depends on yourself." Liu Hai turned and left, his figure dissipating.

Xu Jingming stood there for a while.

He had defeated his master, but Xu Jingming didn't feel much joy.

For a long time, his master had been a mountain in front of him! His master taught him earnestly, guiding him wholeheartedly. He kept improving, no matter how much he improved... he always felt that his master was very strong.

But today, he defeated his master with one spear.

"There is always someone stronger, and there are countless experts in the universe. I can't stop, I must become stronger and stronger," Xu Jingming said silently.

…

Liu Hai's personal space training ground.

"I've finally been surpassed." Liu Hai was also quite gratified.

An apprentice surpassing his master is the master's greatest success.

"Cultivate hard. After becoming a cosmic lifeform and entering the universe, the competition will be much fiercer." Liu Hai flipped his hand, holding a shield blade, and began to practice the shield blade technique in the inheritance again.

******

Cold Training Method.

After Xu Jingming sparred with his master, he began the three major training methods that he had to do every day.

"Puff puff puff..."

In extreme cold, Xu Jingming's mental will was more and more invested in spearmanship, in order to reduce the influence of the cold. He devoted himself to performing the Hua Hong Spearmanship.

Because the 'Water Style artistic conception' was integrated into all basic spear moves, Xu Jingming felt that the 'connection' of the spear thrusts had become smoother. He performed the moves one by one to his heart's content. Su Dan Novel Network

"Boom."

The consecutive spear thrusts became more and more powerful, and the sound of the air exploding became more and more ear-piercing.

"Hmm?" Xu Jingming suddenly stopped, his eyes full of joy, "Thirty consecutive strikes? Hua Guang Style, can finally do thirty consecutive strikes?"
