*Boom!* *Boom!* *Boom!* *Crash!*
At the area which used to be the guard quarters of the mansion with a small training yard, large noises with dust and wood chips as well as varying debris flying into the air disrupted the peaceful afternoon.
Two gorgeous women, one wielding two sharp chakrams and another sending images of fists made of Spiritual Qi were attacking a handsome man, destroying the buildings around the small yard in the process and widening the open space. Though the lion share of crushing and destroying was done by the bare-handed lady of petite size.
Hua Ziyan and Shen Min both were eager to test out their skills progress, or even more to show it off to Wu Long who chuckled as he saw the eagerness with which the two beauties were pressing on in their spar. He had to use a little bit more skill this time and fighting them was no longer completely effortless as it used to be since they were learning skills from him and their cultivation rose.
'Mm, good'
He nodded as he saw their movements, evading Hua Ziyan's Spiritual Qi fists and parrying Shen Min's chakram. He was now sure that they will be strong opponents for whoever they meet in combat. There was no need to fear them freezing since they already had their baptisms of bloody encounters.
They still did not possess his level of battle skill and battle thinking as that took him eons to build up through millennia of actual life and death combat and they also did not have his innate battle sense.
But he already could be more sure of their win if they met an opponent at their cultivation realm and who had even more experience than them, unless of course they met someone as ridiculous as him, but that was such a small chance that finding a specific particle of dust in all of the Seven Profound Worlds would have a better probability of success.
He was also thinking of introducing the next set of techniques to them in preparation for the future since the ones they used now were only something to start off their respective journeys.
'Hmm, the Integral Avalanche Structure Art is sure a hassle to go against. Especially for someone not used to it. It forces me to lean on evading rather than blocking her attacks. But then again it is Ziyan's unique quality of Spiritual Qi that allows for such an aggravated effect and use'
He thought as whenever he blocked a Spiritual Qi fist it burst into pieces that made it up, large chunks further breaking down to smaller ones. He had to either completely shield one side of his body off with a guarding technique, which put him in a passive position, or obstructed his field of vision and in case of some techniques slowed him down, which all opened him up to Shen Min's sudden and unpredictable attacks, or evade completely, giving Hua Ziyan the ability to move him from any position against his will, which was something none of his opponents usually had.
The only way he could stay in a position against her attacks was if he used a stronger defensive technique, which he could do, but that defeated the purposes of this spar since they were testing the ability of the two to fight and not training the penetrative ability of their techniques, which were already higher than normal since they were at all times connected with Wu Long through their bonds, giving them the advantage Dual Cultivators possessed when fighting alongside their partners without having to use specialized techniques that resonated with them.
However, at the end the two could only wryly smile as they were not able to make him even serious. He had to exert a little more effort than in the past, or than he would fighting people of this closed-off world, and even those mercenaries of Bullshit Training Camp, but there was nothing they could do against him reading all of their attacks no matter how they disguised and mixed them, and then using the minimum effort required to render those attacks ineffective.
"Good job, you two. You have improved well, I guess we can start a little more intense training..."
But then, as Wu Long turned his foot on the ground and took out a spear instead of the iron fan he was using previously, both beauties widened their eyes.
"Is he..."
"...I think so..."
Goosebumps went through the two at this sight and in the next instant sparks flew through the air as Wu Long's spearpoint was pushing Shen Min's chakram away.
"Kgh!"
"Don't try fighting me with raw strength, that's not your weapon's purpose"
Wu Long's voice resounded in Shen Min's ears as she felt the spear skillfully move her chakram with force going in for a hit on her next.
"Min'er!"
Spiritual Qi fists came to her aid as she jumped back. But her jump was not as long as she expected since the force of his spear she was trying to use to retreat mysteriously disappeared, sucking in the push she made to it as well, effectively denying her that use of his power and even wasting some of hers.
As she widened her eyes and used a defensive technique to block some of Hua Ziyan's fists which the latter hastily started withdrawing, Wu Long's figure already made a turning movement to the side and from that position seven Spiritual Qi spear images went for Hua Ziyan.
"Your attack is your defense Ziyan, you have to be always aggressive"
As Hua Ziyan hastily sent several Spiritual Qi forth to block his attack his spearpoint went through the resulting collision and was headed straight for her. Palm and Fist users generally were worse in defense as their attacks counted as defensive moves as well, not having separate means for it.
Sparks flew as Shen Min's chakram was the one who slowed down the speartip just enough for Hua Ziyan to regroup and narrowly evade the attack.
"Who told you this was a defense exercise? I just started attacking in return, but you two still have to come at me"
Wu Long said as he appeared from the cloud of dust, his spear resting vertically next to him in one hand while the two beauties heavily breathed from the previous short but incredibly intense round. They knew logically that he would not harm them, but the intensity of his attacks gave them the false perception of imminent death as each attack headed for their vitals with seemingly no mercy.
The two looked at each other as sweat dripped down the sides of their faces and nodded, as they sprang into action the next moment.
"...incredible..."
Feng Yi watched the whole scene with wide eyes, sitting alongside Ye Ling on an elevated position of a balcony not that far from them. Their vision was sometimes obscured by buildings that were rapidly dwindling in that area but she could still see most of the spar.
"Hm, I am told you are not that good with weaponry..."
Ye Ling calmly drank tea next to her. Feng Yi still felt a little awkward around her due to the previous cold feeling she felt from her. But the former has since tried to mend the rift so Feng Yi knew it was now time to move on.
"Em... I am not exactly bad, I just received standard military training regarding the sword. But yes... I don't stand a chance against either of the two, let alone Wu Long..."
She then shook her head with a wry smile as she watched the three in the distance.
"Hmm, well I suppose we all have our strengths and weaknesses. But having a little more robust skills in self-
defense is still a must even for a military commander. Wu Long is stretched thin teaching and training all of the sisters in our Dao Family, since he is not originally someone used to instructing...
He's more of a natural, you know? Those people who can do something incredibly great but cannot explain it to others for the life of them..."
Ye Ling chuckled at the end and Feng Yi at first looked a little surprised at that as she turned to the former but then her eyes softened as she saw the raw endearment for Wu Long in this calm and gentle woman's every word and minute change in expression, as her eyes never left the man.
"So he has to resort to methods like that... putting pressure and hoping they will figure it out from how he fights... haha, clumsy isn't it?"
Ye Ling's chuckle at the end showed so much endearment that Feng Yi just naturally chuckled along, turning her gaze to the person.
"But he did teach them the techniques and skills they are using didn't he?"
She asked prompting a light giggle from the lady beside.
"Haha! You just didn't see it. Without Mingyu he sounds like a textbook or manual that came to life and took a human form, hahaha"
As Ye Ling laughed, Feng Yi who imagined that scene gradually became completely relaxed.
'Ah, what a kind and gentle lady'
She thought as Ye Ling sneaked a glance at her that Feng Yi didn't notice.
"Hmm, but as I said, since he's already busy I take over those who use a sword. So far it has been only Mengqi, who is going to arrive soon, but you also use a sword, even if it is a different type from the classic straight sword. So I will be teaching you as well.
Of course, don't worry as I won't be too demanding of you since your main occupation is troops command and not a swordswoman"
'Hmm, if it is from her... I might want to learn the sword a little more seriously...'
"Yes, I will be in your care"
Feng Yi smiled and received a gentle smile from Ye Ling as well, unaware that this conversation happened before Wu Mengqi arrived on purpose.
