Chapter 285 Shield and Spear

Tiya Nuo's live teaching was having a pretty good effect.

After his paid courses went online, the number of downloads reached the same level as Xu Jingming and Liu Hai, and the evaluations were not low, reaching 8.2.

"Tiya Nuo's course also has an evaluation of 8.2." In the room of his personal space, Li Miaomiao looked at the total points ranking of the martial arts hall and said, "The three of you are really so close."

"His teaching is very distinctive, just like training soldiers," Xu Jingming said. "He has formulated very detailed rules and regulations, forcing people to do this and that! But the effect is quite good."

Li Miaomiao shook her head and said, "Master Liu Hai guides cultivation, you analyze martial arts with science, and this Tiya Nuo... teaches too rigidly!"

"Sometimes being rigid works just as well," Xu Jingming said with a smile, also with a hint of confusion. "It's just that his explanations aren't clear enough when he's teaching. A lot of the time, he glosses over things."

Whether it was himself or Liu Hai, they could explain everything with ease and thoroughness.

"Yes, his explanations are very vague," Li Miaomiao nodded.

That unrestrained Tiya Nuo Xilei, who was always drinking juice, taught very domineeringly and didn't go into detail.

Sigh... but following his teachings actually worked pretty well.

Many people were willing to give him high scores!

Especially people from Africa, who gave their full support to 'Tiya Nuo Xilei', who also came from Africa.

"The audience's evaluations can only be modified once a day," Li Miaomiao comforted. "I believe that the more people cultivate, the more they will realize that what you teach is the best, and they will give you higher evaluations."

"Master and Tiya Nuo are both pretty good. Okay, I'm going to prepare for today's livestream," Xu Jingming said. "This is also the last session of live teaching."

"Good luck," Li Miaomiao said, clenching her fist.

"Good luck," Xu Jingming smiled.

…

Xu Jingming's livestream room was still at nine o'clock in the evening, and the popularity was booming, with countless viewers from all over the world pouring in.

"Hello, everyone," Xu Jingming said with a smile, looking at the crowd. "Today is the last day of my live teaching. I'll be talking about shield techniques and spear techniques. Today's lecture will be held on the fourth floor of the Starry Sky Tower."

As he spoke, Xu Jingming headed to the fourth floor of the Starry Sky Tower.

"Livestreaming on the fourth floor of the Starry Sky Tower?"

"There are only four people on the Starry Sky Ranking on the fourth floor now. Tiger Fussen only just passed yesterday."

"No one has released a video of successfully clearing the fourth floor of the Starry Sky Tower yet."

Countless viewers became excited.

Although many people had livestreamed their attempts to break through the fourth floor of the Starry Sky Tower, they had all failed! Liu Hai, Xu Jingming, and Tiya Nuo, including Tiger Fussen, who had just broken through yesterday, had not released videos of their successful attempts.

Whew.

In the livestream scene, Xu Jingming appeared on the fourth floor of the Starry Sky Tower.

At this moment, Xu Jingming was wearing dark red light armor, carrying a two-section spear on his back, and holding a pair of shields.

"Let's talk about shield techniques first," Xu Jingming said, standing in the quiet and beautiful valley. "Some people hold the shield by putting it on their arm and gripping it with their hand. This method is more stable, but lacks flexibility. If you have enough strength and your shield techniques are high enough... you can hold it directly with one hand like me."

Xu Jingming held a shield in each hand.

"Holding it with one hand allows for a greater range of motion when swinging the shield, and the moves are more flexible. It's just that it puts a lot of burden on the palm and wrist, and requires some skill," Xu Jingming said.

Whoosh.

In the distance, a monkey drew an arc through the air and landed on a large tree on the mountain, standing on a branch and curiously observing Xu Jingming.

Xu Jingming didn't care about the monkey and continued, "I've said many times that weapons are an extension of the body. For example, this shield... I'll use the simplest method to meet the enemy."

Xu Jingming looked at the monkey, which began to show a fierce look in its eyes.

"A straight punch is a basic skill in martial arts," Xu Jingming said with a smile. "Using the straight punch in shield techniques is a straight shield punch."

As soon as he finished speaking, the monkey charged over with its stick, as fast as a phantom.

When the monkey rushed close and swung its stick down, Xu Jingming suddenly jumped up, took a step forward, and thrust his shields forward like two huge fists.

"Bang."

The shields had a large surface area, and when they blocked the stick, the terrifying impact force crushed the stick and hit the monkey, which let out a miserable cry and flew backward, turning into nothingness as it flew.

"Using fist techniques, it's a straight punch; using shield techniques, it's a straight shield punch," Xu Jingming said with a smile. "The good thing about shield techniques is that no matter what weapon the enemy has, knives, spears, sticks, or even big axes, I dare to use one hundred percent of my strength to hit them. If I were empty-handed, I wouldn't dare to use my bare hands to hit the opponent's weapon."

The death of one monkey immediately exposed the other monkeys that were watching from the mountain wall in the distance, and a large number of monkeys came to attack, with more than a dozen monkeys wielding sticks.

Xu Jingming took the initiative to charge forward.

"Using shield techniques is very simple. As long as you have the advantage in strength, you can hit them head-on and don't even bother dodging." Xu Jingming had already met the nearest monkey, and his shield suddenly swept upward, hitting the stick and also sweeping the monkey's chin. Crack, its head was lifted upward, completely twisted, and it instantly turned into illusion.

"In palm techniques, this is called a sweeping palm. In boxing, it's called an uppercut," Xu Jingming said easily. "I'm using an uppercut shield right now."

"Weapons are really just an extension of palm techniques, fist techniques, and other usages. They are tools that greatly increase one's damage."

"Using an axe is chopping, using palm techniques is chopping palm. Traditional Pi Gua Palm or Baji's Chop Palm... are all similar ways of exerting force." Xu Jingming chopped down with his shield, like a big axe, chopping on a monkey's chest, and the monkey instantly turned into nothingness.

"If you charge, the power can be even greater." Xu Jingming took two steps to explode, and after gaining speed, his shield was like a tiger's paw, and each slap turned a monkey into nothingness.

"The momentum of the charge is like what we say, greater mass, greater speed. Great kinetic energy! As long as you effectively transfer the kinetic energy to the enemy, one slap is all it takes."

Xu Jingming killed them casually.

"Knives and swords are sharp. With the same impact force, the pressure can be hundreds or thousands of times stronger, easily cutting the enemy. Shields have strong defense and can be fearless of the enemy's sharp weapons," Xu Jingming said. "Big axes and hammers are heavy in themselves, and the kinetic energy is great, so the power is naturally great."

"Bare-handed threat is 1, with weapons, the threat is 10," Xu Jingming said. "But in essence, weapons are just an extension of the body."

Countless viewers watched in amazement.

The monkeys on the fourth floor of the Starry Sky Tower had no power to resist in front of Xu Jingming, and the shield smashed at will.

"What is the biggest difficulty in practicing weapons?" Xu Jingming said. "It's whether the connection between the body and the weapon is stable! It is said that weapons are an extension of the body... If the connection is stable, then it is naturally part of the body. If the connection is unstable, the force transmission will not work, and even the weapon is easy to drop."

"For example, when I hold a shield, both hands must be stable enough, and I must release force when I should release force, and exert force when I should exert force. How to go with the flow is all skill," Xu Jingming said. "Today, I will upload a detailed explanation of some shield techniques in the shield and spear techniques course in the martial arts hall."

"Now switch to spear techniques."

Xu Jingming casually threw down the two shields, took out the two-section spear from his back, and spun it around.

"Roar~~~" The roar of the Monkey King rang out angrily, and the remaining monkeys quickly fled.

"The Monkey King is out," Xu Jingming said with a smile.

"The key to using spear techniques is also the same, that is, how the body should connect with the spear, and whether the connection is stable enough," Xu Jingming said. "As long as it is stable enough, then the normal skills taught in the previous seven lessons can be used."

The Monkey King turned into a reddish afterimage and rushed over.

Xu Jingming suddenly charged up.

"Bang."

The spear chopped down, hitting the stick and knocking the Monkey King to the side, rolling away to dozens of meters away in a flash.

"This is chopping spear," Xu Jingming said. "You can chop straight down or diagonally at will. Have you noticed? You can chop with your palm, you can chop with your fist, you can also chop down with your shield... and it's the same with a spear."

"The essence is the same, but the force transmission is slightly different with different weapons." Xu Jingming's use of spear techniques had long been ingrained in his bones.

"When using weapons, you should also try to maximize the advantages of the weapon. For example, the advantage of a spear is its length... and the spear tip is sharp enough," Xu Jingming said, taking the initiative to kill the Monkey King.

The Monkey King also greeted him.

"The spear tip is sharp enough, just stab. We can stab the enemy, but the enemy's weapon can't touch us. This is the advantage of a weapon." Xu Jingming had already stabbed out with his spear.

The Monkey King used stick techniques to resist.

"Continuous stabs! Don't give the enemy time to breathe, or even make it difficult for the enemy to react." Xu Jingming stabbed continuously.

Swish swish swish!!!

Six consecutive stabs! As fast as lightning, pursuing extreme speed. Even though the Monkey King's stick techniques were flexible, it was extremely difficult to resist.

"Puff."

The sixth stab had already pierced the Monkey King's chest.

Death!

"Okay, I passed the fourth floor," Xu Jingming said.

Countless viewers around the world were dumbfounded. This was the fourth floor of the Starry Sky Tower! Until yesterday, Tiger Fussen had only become the fourth person in the world to pass it, which shows the difficulty.

But in front of Xu Jingming, whether it was monkeys or the Monkey King, they were completely crushed.

"Great skill is simple," Xu Jingming said. "The use of weapons is so simple in the later stages! The key is still what I taught before, how to make the kinetic energy greater, and how to make the speed faster! The same move, with greater kinetic energy, is a unique skill. The same move, with greater speed, is a killing move."

"It looks so simple."

"But why is my spear technique so slow?"

"How is it that my spear and my body are so unfamiliar? How can I not become one with the spear?"

People sighed.

Xu Jingming said with a smile, "Okay, the detailed practice methods of each spear technique, and how the spear and the body can become one, will be explained in detail in the martial arts hall course."

"The Nine Lessons of Martial Arts have officially ended today," Xu Jingming looked at everyone. "I will also be livestreaming once a week in the future, and I will answer questions online. If you have any confusion about practicing the Nine Lessons of Martial Arts, you can say it in the comment section. I will select the confusions that most people have and answer them."

"Thank you for your support these past few days, the livestream ends here." Xu Jingming, holding a spear, began to become illusory, leaving the scene on the fourth floor of the Starry Sky Tower, and at the same time, the entire livestream room was completely closed, turning into a pitch black.
