Destiny Rekindled

Chapter 81: The Unfair Treatment
"clang--"

"Ding--"

The whistling sound of wind, the bursting sound of flames and the collision of metal and iron intertwined together and echoed continuously in the playground.

After changing to the new alloy material, Ji Huai no longer held back, and the weapon in his hand was no longer limited to the saber. He once again turned on the versatile weapon mode. Qin Chuan, who was already feeling under great pressure, was careless after a few rounds and was pierced through the Water Hand by the flaming spear.

Seeing that the sharp tip of the spear was about to pierce a hole in Qin Chuan's body, Ji Huai subconsciously wanted to hold back, but he felt something was wrong.

Until, Qin Chuan's body turned into countless flying snow and scattered everywhere in an instant, causing the sharp spear to hit nothing.

Ji Huai realized what was wrong.

Qin Chuan has another skill that he has never used.

Looking at the drifting frost and snow, Ji Huai retracted his spear and his muscles tensed.

A snowflake floated behind Ji Huai and flashed slightly, and Qin Chuan's figure emerged.

Ji Huai, who was the first to notice the movement, didn't even turn his head. He thrust the spear in his hand back from the side of his waist in an instant. The spear blade was blazing, and he stabbed Qin Chuan's position accurately with a sudden thrust.

But Qin Chuan, who was well prepared, reacted faster. The moment his figure emerged, he had controlled the water on the ground to rise rapidly, and when it was supported in front of him to block the gun blade, the water wall was already emitting a cold air, which quickly suppressed the flames burning at the tip of the gun.

Hands stretched out from the water wall, tightly clamping the gun blade. At the same time, countless spikes stretched out from the water wall, turned into ice spikes and stabbed fiercely in the direction of Ji Huai.

Ji Huai's face was calm. The moment he raised his other hand, a shield knife was already in his hand. He swung it horizontally and chopped it into pieces, then swung it at the water wall with a burning red flame.

The powerful blow instantly cut through the water wall and once again turned Qin Chuan into frost and snow. The spear was successfully detached and combined with the shield and sword, and a heavy halberd fell into Ji Huai's hands.

"call--"

Ji Huai blew fiercely at the frost and snow, and the blazing flames spread rapidly. The low explosion sounded like the roar of a fire demon. Despite the low temperature of the frost, it sublimated most of the frost and snow that Qin Chuan had transformed into in an instant.

After just one look, he found Qin Chuan's flaw.

Qin Chuan was forced out with a bitter smile, and a heavy halberd was placed on his neck.

After all, the extraordinary value is much inferior.

If Qin Chuan's frost can suppress Ji Huai's flames, the outcome is still unknown.

"Your use of attributes is good." Ji Huai praised him for a rare moment, "It would be best if your ice skill could be paired with a weapon."

Qin Chuan knew that Ji Huai was talking about Mi Shuangzong.

He discovered this, too.

Because Mishuangzong can melt everything he carries into snow, including weapons.

On the contrary, when used with water flow, a substance with certain properties that needs to be manipulated, the advantages of Frost Trace cannot be fully utilized.

People left, but the water remained where it was.

He could dodge but lacked the ability to launch a surprise attack.

"How long does it take you to get home from school?" Ji Huai asked out of the blue.

Qin Chuan didn't understand what he meant. After a moment's estimation, he said, "About twenty minutes."

"Starting today, you must stay for an hour after the practical class." Ji Huai said, and strode towards the other students, "Practical training, begin."

The students who were watching the battle were like being injected with chicken blood, and they were particularly enthusiastic in the fight.

Only Qin Chuan fell into deep thought.

What are you going to do with one hour left?
And... I have made a breakthrough. Who will I fight with in the next actual combat training? -
The half-hour practical training ended quickly.

The other students went home one after another, only Qin Chuan and Xiaopang stayed there after saying goodbye.

There was no one else on the playground, Ji Huai walked up to Qin Chuan and said, "For one hour every day, I will teach you to master a weapon skill."

"It's up to you to choose which one."

"Eh?" Qin Chuan was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes suddenly burst into surprise. This was beyond the scope of Ji Huai's teaching, which was commonly known as giving a private lesson.

However, Qin Chuan also had doubts.

"Teacher Ji, I heard that practicing martial arts requires a long time to master the basic skills, and it often takes several years to get a glimpse of the basics. Is one hour a day really enough?"

"Other people's methods don't work, but mine is enough." The calmness in Ji Huai's words made his words quite credible.

Thinking that Ji Huai looked only about 30 years old but had already mastered so many weapons, Qin Chuan also felt that Ji Huai might really have some special methods.

He became even more excited.

"Thank you, Teacher Ji!" Qin Chuan said gratefully, "What about the tuition fee..."

"I'm not short of money." Ji Huai frowned slightly, as if he felt that Qin Chuan was talking too much nonsense. "Have you made your choice?"

"Long sword." Qin Chuan reacted and spoke quickly.

The reason why I chose a long sword is because ice cream is made with a knife. If I become proficient in long sword skills, I can better match it with the Frost Breaking Slash.

In addition, when he has learned enough, he might be able to give some pointers to Xuegao, so that Xuegao can master the swordsmanship and enhance his strength, just like Shuihua mastered the ability to control blood.

Moreover, according to Qin Chuan's observation, although Ji Huai is proficient in all weapons, the first weapon he reassembles is often a knife, which may mean that he is best at using a knife.

"Okay." Ji Huai casually reassembled two identical unsharpened long swords and threw one of them to Qin Chuan, "Follow me and learn."

As he spoke, he grasped the hilt of the knife with both hands, with the tip of the knife pointing diagonally upwards, and made a starting gesture.

Qin Chuan took the long knife and followed suit.

After making sure that there was nothing wrong with Qin Chuan's posture, Ji Huai raised the long sword in his hand high, and then chopped it down from top to bottom in an instant.

"This is a chopping knife. The force should reach the blade. The arm and the knife should be in a straight line, and the blade should be in the same direction as the chopping." After Ji Huai finished speaking, he looked at Qin Chuan and motioned for him to give it a try.

Perhaps it was the "Basic Boxing" that brought about an overall improvement in Qin Chuan's physical fitness. After only two or three attempts, Qin Chuan successfully mastered the essentials of this basic movement.

So Ji Huai started the next basic move.

There are more than a dozen basic swordsmanship moves. It took Qin Chuan about half an hour to master them all.

Qin Chuan was a little surprised by Demon King Ji's patient and meticulous teaching, but when he thought about it, he realized that he was just a beginner and he really had to start with the basics.

"Enter the next stage." Ji Huai said calmly, "Consolidate what you just learned."

Qin Chuan hurriedly picked up the long knife.

The next moment, he looked confused.

Because Ji Huai rushed towards him with a knife in hand, and he did not hold back at all.

Are you trying to consolidate? You are trying to kill me!

Now we know that "1+1=2", so let's prove the Goldbach conjecture???

Qin Chuan subconsciously wanted to control the water flow, but he heard Ji Huai's calm voice.

"You cannot use your supernatural powers. You can only use the basic sword moves I just taught you."

You know that's a "basic move"?!
Qin Chuan took a deep breath and his eyes became firm.

He raised the long sword in his hand high, as if he wanted to cut the sky and the earth in half with one stroke.

chopper!!!

"clang--"

The knife flies away, but the world remains.

"Pick up your knife and proceed."

"…oh."
-
Don't worry, there are two more.
