Chapter 211: This Bit of Face Still Needs to Be Given (3 Updates Today)
"Xiaojun, you absolutely can't imagine who I just met!"
Gu Xi quickly rushed in, surprised, "Do you remember I reminded you to be careful before... huh huh huh... what is this thing?"
Her eyes widened in shock as she looked at the small token in Xu Lingjun's hand, getting confused, "Wasn't this thing already used when you first enrolled?"
Xu Lingjun smiled, "Oh, this Beixuanwu Order, a kind person gave it to me."
Gu Xi said speechlessly, "Come on, who would give you something so valuable... didn't you steal it?"
"Well, in some sense, saying it's stolen isn't wrong either."
Xu Lingjun thought to himself, people reluctantly giving me something, does it count as a kind of stealing?
Though I don't quite understand why they gave this to me, but an ultimate level martial skill, who could resist such a huge temp~tation? Imagine if a beautiful woman offered me this token and said I could have it if I spent a night with her.
Xu Lingjun felt he might relent too. After all, the temp~tation of an ultimate level martial skill is really great. Thinking of this, he deeply missed that old beggar who gifted him a divine demon level technique.
Sadly, even though he had entrusted Mentor Zhou Qing to keep an eye out for him...
Qingzhou City was under reconstruction, and that old beggar was likely not there anymore.
"Really? Stolen, huh... or stolen from a woman?"
Gu Xi glanced at Xu Lingjun's face and said, "Then got slapped by someone? I see a little red mark on your face."
"Oh, you're talking about the mark on my face..."
"Wait, you call those few little red marks on your face wounds?"
Gu Xi said speechlessly, "If I had come a bit later, these so-called wounds would've directly healed, wouldn't they?"
"Those are two separate things. This wound actually happened when I was sparring with Li Jingjun and she accidentally slapped me."
Xu Lingjun rubbed his face and said, "But she's got it worse, she's already gone to the hospital to have her hand checked, probably needs a few days of rest."
Just kidding, my face isn't something that can be slapped casually...
It's only because she held back, otherwise her palm bones would have fractured.
But remembering the previous spar with Li Jingjun...
Hmm... both drew conclusions after their bout.
"I won't spar again with him/her in my lifetime."
To Xu Lingjun, Li Jingjun was like a slippery fish, impossible to catch tightly.
The Wind Returning Snow technique she practiced is both a cultivation technique and a martial skill, complementing each other, because it's a family-inherited martial skill, highly developed...
No wonder she wasn't afraid at all when she heard she might be targeted, this girl has strong confidence.
The Backtracking Wind Finger breaks through at a point, one point of True Qi can exert the power of ten.
And the Hui xue technique for regaining energy is unmatched, and it also has an unloading technique...
Though Xu Lingjun's absolute strength surpasses hers, she's too slippery.
The feeling of aiming full force every time yet having her evade effortlessly is really frustrating, once or twice is fine, but every time missing the target is just aggravating.
As for Li Jingjun.
The only feeling was toughness.
How could he be so tough?
Couldn't land a hit, truly unbreakable.
The Backtracking Wind Finger couldn't pierce his skin, not even making him bleed, and every hit on him, the strong rebound force made her fingers ache, and eventually they bled a little.
One couldn't hit, the other couldn't be moved.
Then Xu Lingjun won...
Because his skin is passive defense, no need to worry.
While Li Jingjun had to exhaust her heart and spirit avoiding Xu Lingjun's attacks, after she spent a lot of her energy finally caught off guard by Xu Lingjun, letting him beat her up all over, without concerning him in the least, directly wrestling her down and suppressing her completely.
That's how the victory was achieved.
Of course, the result was...
When they faced each other, Li Jingjun couldn't escape Xu Lingjun's hold, struggling desperately, inadvertently slapping him on the face backhandedly, then...
She ended up going to the hospital to check on her hand.
Hmm, that's a blind spot, needs attention.
When Sister Yaya comes, I must remind her, no matter what we do in the future, never bite my shoulder uncontrollably, your teeth will definitely chip.
You couldn't have guessed that the spar between the first and second new students would turn into a children's wrestling match.
In the end, using mouth, hands, and whole bodies.
And still, Xu Lingjun emerged slightly better.
And with this battle, competing with a truly well-versed expert...
Xu Lingjun finally realized his own shortcomings.
He can, through Talent Source, push everything to the peak...
Elixir or Spirit Liquid, as long as he's willing to spend Source Value, he can achieve the most perfect grade and absorb it flawlessly.
But as for martial skills, although he can also infuse Source, comprehension rests upon oneself.
This means he can't just infuse Source into a hundred or so martial techniques and be a cultivation expert... he's not that brilliant at comprehension.
And now, the attack-type martial skills he knows are only the Flame Slaying Fist and the Ninefold Thunder Tribulation.
Even with Source infusion, the description of the Flame Slaying Fist is only a legendary martial skill, even if perfected, compared to ultimate level martial skills, it's still somewhat lacking.
Ninefold Thunder Tribulation requires 4 seconds to gather power.
Facing those who rush, he can take a hit and counter to knock down the enemy...
But encountering someone well-versed like Li Jingjun, Flame Slaying Fist can't subdue them. Ninefold Thunder Tribulation needs to be honed to under two seconds to be truly combat-ready, or he needs to find a weapon strong enough to withstand the Ninefold Thunder Tribulation.
After all, this is the Ninefold Thunder Tribulation, or rather Ninefold Military Tribulation, its real usage, using hands, is indeed a bit tough.
But at present, once encountering such opponents.
He can only rely on his defense to drag the fight into a war of attrition, relying on his superior stamina to exhaust their energy until the enemy collapses, and they only await his disposal.
So, without considering all the high-tech warmongering weapons on the nanometer armor, the beam sabre and Cetus beam rifle on the mecha, and the turret and Dragon Cavalry, not considering the explosive power of Qiantian Gang Qi...
What else does Xu Lingjun have to be proud of?
Too weak.
"I need a new martial skill."
Xu Lingjun sighed softly, "Initially thought to buy a set off Taobao, but the highest level available online is only legendary realm. No matter the effort exerted... the limits remain bounded. I need a martial skill at least on par with the Backtracking Wind Finger."
He looked at the Beixuanwu Order in his hand and smiled, "From this perspective, it's like a pillow when you need a nap, well... that Qu Zhengying is actually a good person."
"Qu Zhengying gave you this?"
Gu Xi said in surprise, "What's going on? Before, I just wanted to say Qu Zhengying suddenly contacted me, called me senior very respectfully, brought me candied fruit and spirit liquid. I thought he wanted to date me, but he kept talking about you. I then thought he wanted to date you... but he said he promised not to trouble you anymore, and not even Jigsaw would. What did you do to push him that much?"
"Well, truth be told, I'm a bit puzzled too."
Xu Lingjun laughed, "But overall, I lost my trouble and got a Beixuanwu Order, it's a gain, right?"
"You've scored big, kid. Didn't know before, but don't you know how valuable a Beixuanwu Order is now? If you went to buy one, you may not be able to get it even for five thousand academic credits."
Gu Xi patted Xu Lingjun's shoulder with a laugh, "Impressive, so impressive. I was thinking of sticking up for you if you were having a tough time, but you silently trained over twenty people to behave... Xiaojun, you've really surprised me. I don't know how you did it."
Xu Lingjun looked at the Beixuanwu Order in his hand, satisfied, "Next time if I catch those three thugs robbing others, I won't knock out their spiritual protection devices, just give them a beating, and take their stuff... People gave me a peach, I ought to return a plum, right? Got to give some face after all."
