Chapter 139 - 94: Strength and Skill (2)

Far away.

Qin Jin and three others stood watching.

After observing for about twenty seconds, Qin Jin raised his eyebrows slightly.

The two were fighting fiercely. In the time before coming to the academy, Qin Jin had studied the Great Halberd under Zhang Zhenwu, and now he could see the subtleties and details in their sparring.

But...

Neither of them was giving their all.

Life Energy, Spiritual Power, neither was being utilized, relying solely on fundamental physical qualities to adapt on the fly, using the most basic Martial Techniques to combat.

Thinking of everything Xie Wuya said, Qin Jin mused.

"When young, without Breathing Technique Cultivation, one can only solidify their foundation and hone Martial Techniques. When these two fought in childhood, they probably used the same fighting style as now."

"Losing in this manner leaves one dissatisfied, so do they only spar like this whenever they meet in the future?"

"These two seem to be on a completely different path from mine."

Qin Jin muttered to himself.

In the past, the Mining Star did not have such excellent conditions, Qin Jin could not have professional teachers personally guiding him like the young Celestial Prides born in great families.

In terms of basic Martial Techniques, he undoubtedly fell short. Despite recently dedicating himself to the Heaven-piercing Halberd, the time was still short, and he couldn’t claim significant progress yet.

This is the impact of differing backgrounds.

However, Qin Jin did not feel any frustration because of this.

Because, compared to "Technique," Qin Jin believed his "Strength" outstripped others by far!

Beside him.

Xie Wuya watched the two collide passionately and couldn’t help but shout, "Oh no, are you two flirting, dating here?!"

"Ye Ping’an, haven’t you learned any Secret Techniques or something? Use them!"

"An Shi, go all out, beat him down for a week or ten days, wouldn’t you be more at peace?"

He added fuel to the fire recklessly.

"This has nothing to do with you, hush!"

During the fight, Ye Ping’an couldn’t help but shout.

This was a solid test of skills, where every mistake would be taken advantage of. At the moment he was distracted by shouting, An Shi seized the opportunity, punched straight ahead, striking Ye Ping’an’s arms protecting his chest aside, and with the other hand, claw-shaped, stopped just before Ye Ping’an’s throat.

With fingertips touching skin, coldness emanated, hairs standing.

Ye Ping’an clenched his fist tightly, then relaxed.

"You lost."

An Shi said a sentence, retracted his hand, walked to the side, and picked up his coat.

"Ye Ping’an, how did you lose again?"

Xie Wuya’s voice chimed in timely, "I told you to go all out; how many times has it been now? Just in my memory, it’s the fifth time. Haven’t you secretly challenged him more? How many times have you been captured?"

Ye Ping’an’s previously relaxed hand tightened again, he gazed at Xie Wuya, exhaled deeply, eyes sharp as ever, "You want to see me go all out, right? You go, you come!"

He pointed to the side of the arena.

"Oh?"

Seeing this, excitement flashed in Xie Wuya’s eyes, he spoke quickly, "I know you’re in a hurry, but don’t rush."

"Is first come, first served clear to you? I’m a bit busy today, so queue up and wait, okay?"

After speaking.

He turned to look at Qin Jin and sincerely made the Dao Field’s battle invitation gesture, "Qin Jin, shall we go first?"

"Alright."

Qin Jin nodded.

Just at that moment...

Ahead.

Ye Ping’an’s gaze fell on Qin Jin, whom he was meeting for the first time, and his sharp eyes diminished a lot, seriously saying, "Qin Jin, isn’t it? Would you mind letting me have this guy?"

"I’ve already agreed with him."

Qin Jin calmly responded.

Upon hearing this, ahead, Xie Wuya’s eyes were full of excitement, impatient, he ran all the way, ascending the arena.

Qin Jin spoke thus, passing by Ye Ping’an.

Due to coming to the academy, he wore casual attire, now stepping to the other edge of the arena, leaping onto it.

Far away.

Bai Huaiyu and Han Miao walked over together, closing in to observe the fight.

An Shi draped his coat over his shoulder and nodded gently to the two women.

Though meeting for the first time, being S-Level meant they were neighbors, and they might undertake missions together in the future, his attitude remained peaceful.

The two women responded.

An Shi walked to Ye Ping’an, shaking his head, "Why bother, you know Xie Wuya’s temperament, even if you beat him up today, he’ll still be like this next time you meet."

"As classmates in the future, you’ll see him every day. Are you going to fight him every day? Wouldn’t that fit right into his plans?"

"If I don’t beat him up, the anger in my heart won’t subside."

Ye Ping’an gazed upwards at the arena, "I don’t care about this and that, I must deal with him today."

Upon hearing this.

An Shi sighed slightly, putting on his coat, "When that anger subsides in you, then you’ll beat me."

Upon his words falling.

Ye Ping’an turned his head, looking at him.

His voice rarely became calm, "If that anger is gone, what’s the point of beating you?"

"I... would still be Ye Ping’an."

Not far beside them.

Bai Huaiyu gazed at the arena.

Her appearance was graceful, her eyebrows picturesque, she seemed an undeniable beauty.

At this moment, her gaze lingered on the two in the arena for a while, she lowered her voice slightly, speaking, "Han Miao, who do you think will win, Qin Jin or Xie Wuya?"

Upon asking.

Yet received no response.

She looked at Han Miao, the other stood still, facing the arena, motionless.

Because she had her eyes closed, covered with a thin veil, it was impossible to ascertain if she was focusing on the arena.

But...

Bai Huaiyu sharply noticed, the girl’s temple area, was rapidly pulsing.
