Dragon Devouring Cultivation

Chapter 69 Battle
Fang Congzhi did not take the initiative to attack. After all, he was a few years older than Li Zhen, and he still had to maintain his face in the ring.

Li Zhen thought for a moment. He knew that he could not reveal his physical strength. The only thing he could show was his great swordsmanship.

So he held up the Xingrui D13 long sword, took light steps, and rushed towards Fang Congzhi.

Fang Cong pointed his finger at Li Zhen, and a mid-grade flying sword shot out from above his head.

At the same time, he used his other hand to draw spell runes in front of him, preparing to cast a spell.

To cast spells in actual combat, one needs to have a mastery of spells close to the level of Xiaofa. Without this level, the spell casting time will be too long and the power of the spell cannot be accurately controlled, which will cause the spell to lose control.

Although Li Zhen cannot use his physical strength, he has already reached the middle stage of the first level of physical strength. His eyesight and reaction speed far exceed those of a cultivator in the middle stage of Qi training.

The long sword in his hand lightly passed over the spine of the middle-grade flying sword, causing the flying middle-grade flying sword to deviate from its direction.

It took some time for Fang Congzhi to adjust the mid-grade flying sword, and this time was enough for Li Zhen to rush to him.

However, Fang Congzhi was not worried at all because he still had a mid-grade shield for protection.

Moreover, the spell he was casting was about to take shape, which could at least force Li Zhen away and prevent Li Zhen from getting close to him.

When Li Zhen rushed towards Fang Congzhi, he raised the sword in his hand high, and when he reached a distance of two meters, he slashed heavily at the medium-grade shield in front of Fang Congzhi.

"Dang!" The attack of this sword made the medium-grade shield flash with light, but it was still impossible to break the medium-grade shield.

Li Zhen had known this for a long time, and his attack was not over yet. After striking with the long sword in his hand, he used the rebound force to rotate his body, and then the long sword drew an arc and hit the medium-grade shield again.

"Ding ding ding." The continuous attacks made the light of the medium-grade shield dimmer and dimmer.

The magic rune in Fang Congzhi's hand almost dissipated. It was only until he mastered the fireball technique that he managed to hold out until the magic rune was condensed.

With a wave of his hand, a fireball appeared from the void and shot towards Li Zhen who was nearby.

Teacher Zou and Teacher Du were very nervous. At such a close distance, if Li Zhen was hit by the fireball, he would definitely be seriously injured.

You should know that Li Zhen has no defense. Neither the defensive weapon nor the defensive spell can help him.

How could they know that Li Zhen, who was in the middle stage of the first level of physical training, had such a defense that he could not be hurt by a fireball at the fourth level of Qi training.

Of course, Li Zhen couldn't let the fireball hit him. If he didn't get hurt by this attack on the ring, his body refining secret would definitely be exposed.

The moment the fireball flew out, he raised his sword from under the medium-grade shield.

At this time, Fang Congzhi's control over the mid-grade shield was on the verge of losing control. Most of his energy was focused on the fireball technique, and he believed that the fireball technique must achieve results.

The medium-quality shield was lifted up, just blocking the fireball.

"Boom!" The fireball collided with the back of the medium-grade shield and exploded.

The explosion caused the medium-grade shield to completely lose control, but the medium-grade shield completely blocked the power of the fireball. Instead, it was Fang Congzhi, the caster, who was affected by the aftermath of the fireball explosion.

Just as Fang Congzhi was hurriedly dodging the aftermath of the fireball, a long sword was already at his forehead.

"Stop!" Teacher Du shouted, activating the isolation function of the arena.

Li Zhen felt a force pushing him and Fang Congzhi apart, and the two were forced to separate by a distance of ten meters.

This is the ring's safety measure. Judging from the force, if he resists this force with all his strength, he can still prevent himself from being pushed away by the ring.

In fact, this arena is only for cultivators in the early and middle stages of Qi training. The arena in the late stage of Qi training has no strength value for No. 2 Middle School and is a waste.

"Your swordsmanship is so powerful!" Shi Xuan said in shock.

"The Han family has found a swordsmanship genius!" Wang Rushi said with envy.

When she first entered school, she also recruited talents for the Wang family, but she did not have the swordsmanship talent like Li Zhen.

She was somewhat curious about Li Zhen's spiritual talent. If his spiritual talent was stronger, it would not be impossible for the Wang family to snatch Li Zhen away.

"Thank you for holding back. I lost!" Fang Congzhi lowered his head to Li Zhen in frustration.

He could feel the gap between himself and Li Zhen. He didn't even notice how the last sword appeared between his eyebrows. "Great swordsmanship, where did you find this monster, Old Zou?" Teacher Du had a better eye. He could tell Li Zhen's swordsmanship level at a glance.

"It was funded by the Han family and has little to do with my teaching!" Teacher Zou shook his head and replied.

He didn't dare to take the credit. At most, he taught Li Zhen a set of basic swordsmanship. As for Li Zhen's mastery of swordsmanship, that was Li Zhen's own effort. He didn't have the ability to teach him mastery of swordsmanship.

"He has also practiced a technique to conceal his spiritual energy, but judging from the spiritual energy he revealed when he attacked just now, he should be at the second level of Qi training, which is pretty good. It's a pity. If he had entered school two years earlier, perhaps he could have achieved better results at No. 2 Middle School this year!" Teacher Du continued.

Li Zhen intentionally suppressed his cultivation. This was the effect of the 'Qi Concealment Technique'. The second level of Qi training was in line with the average level of the first echelon of the first grade in the first year of junior high school, and was not too dazzling.

"The Han family probably wants to protect him. You know what happened to Cheng He!" Teacher Zou sighed.

Teacher Zou was helpless about Cheng He's fall, and the reason why Cheng He was like this was the consequence of his spiritual root talent being made public.

Li Zhen waved to Fang Congzhi and jumped off the stage.

"Li Zhen, welcome to join us!" Wang Rushi came to Li Zhen, stretched out her hand and said with a smile.

"Thank you!" Li Zhen stretched out his hand and shook hands with Wang Rushi.

"With your joining, our attack in the team competition will be more comprehensive!" Shi Xuan also came over and stretched out his hand and said.

Li Zhen also shook hands with him. Li Zhen could see that after he defeated Fang Cong, Wang Rushi and Shi Xuan became more enthusiastic towards him.

"Okay, everyone come here!" Teacher Zou clapped his hands and greeted everyone.

Teacher Du did not participate. Every year, the school challenge is led by the combat basics teacher of the first-year monk class. This is a tradition.

Li Zhen and others stood in front of Teacher Zou.

"This is Li Zhen's first time participating in a challenge match, so let me first talk about the situation of the challenge match.

The school challenge is divided into individual and team competitions. Needless to say, the individual competition is divided into groups by drawing lots for official members of each school, and the winners will participate in the next draw.

The team competition is between three students from the same school, and the pairs are also drawn by lot.

If a regular member cannot participate in a certain competition, a reserve member will be needed to take over!" Teacher Zou explained.

He said this mainly to Li Zhen, the other three already knew it.

Only then did Li Zhen understand why Fang Congzhi attached so much importance to the status of a formal member.

If nothing unexpected happens, the entire competition process will have nothing to do with Fang Congzhi, a reserve member, let alone the honor of victory.

"Li Zhen, what you need to improve now is your coordination with Shi Xuan and Wang Rushi. I have a document on the three-person battle formation here. You should familiarize yourself with it first and then practice it!" Teacher Zou then looked at Li Zhen and said.

As for Li Zhen's personal strength, we can see from the fact that Li Zhen easily defeated Fang Congzhi that as long as he can cooperate skillfully with Shi Xuan and Wang Rushi, he can definitely exert stronger combat power than Fang Congzhi.

In team battles, students like Li Zhen who are good at close combat are extremely important, as they can create more long-range attack opportunities for other students.

Li Zhen received the document sent by Teacher Zou on his identity bracelet, and he opened the document to take a look.

There was a video on the retina, and as the explanation was given, three monks kept changing their positions.

"You should also study how to make good use of Li Zhen's swordsmanship!" Teacher Zou said to Wang Rushi and Shi Xuan.

Teacher Zou gave some instructions and then went to practice on his own.

Li Zhen memorized the application of the three-person battle formation, Wang Rushi and Shi Xuan analyzed the new tactics, and Fang Congzhi practiced while thinking about the previous battle.

Fang Congzhi discovered that no matter how he changed his tactics, he could not defeat Li Zhen.

Among cultivators in the early and middle stages of Qi training, Dacheng swordsmanship is completely overwhelming, unless Li Zhen is not allowed to get close.

But even if the arena is twenty meters long and wide, it is difficult to stop the close attack with the speed of the monks.
