Chapter 245 The Defeat on March 7th
Chapter 245 The Defeat on March 7th
"Please give me more advice."
With the intention of exchanging skills and offering guidance, Fu Hua, in a serious manner, prepared to show her true abilities to March 7.
"Wait a moment!"
Just as this warrior, dressed in martial arts attire whose gender was indistinguishable except for his voice, stepped onto the ring (area), clasped his hands in a fist salute to her, and was about to charge at her, March 7th called for a pause.
"what happened?"
Fu Hua stopped her initial stance and looked at March 7 with a puzzled expression.
On March 7th, he put down his swords, placed his hands on his hips, and looked at Fu Hua with a serious expression.
"Teacher, you asked for my name, so shouldn't you tell me yours?"
"Student, I am not a teacher."
Fu Hua, who simply wanted to spar, didn't care about formalities, but March 7 couldn't accept it. It was obvious her opponent was a trained fighter, a local expert! And she, March 7, was also considered a semi-expert… How could experts be so careless in a duel? That's not how it's written in the book!
In March 7's opinion, even disregarding the details of the fantasy play, based on the principle of reciprocity and equivalent exchange, the other party should introduce themselves, exchange a few polite words, and then begin the exciting duel.
"Aren't you a teacher?"
"My name is Fu Hua, just a student of St. Freya."
March 7th was a bit surprised. Fu Hua, who was different from others, didn't seem like a vibrant and beautiful young student at all. Her stiff bowing and her taste in clothing were like the clothes that only some older traditionalists would wear... Isn't that what a teacher would wear?
"Go, Fu Hua! Defeat her!"
"Lady Fu Hua will surely win!"
Suddenly, one of the Valkyries spurred on, and they began cheering for Fu Hua. Hearing this, March 7 looked around and saw that at least half the Valkyries were supporting Fu Hua, while her side…
Playing away from home, it seems like there are only two supporters.
"I've won five straight games, why is nobody supporting me...?"
After complaining on March 7th, he gripped his twin swords tightly again and stared straight ahead.
According to the rules of the martial arts world, the winner takes all. If you defeat this one in front of you, or if that doesn't work, defeat ten of them, then you'll have the reputation of the heroine March 7th.
"Alright, Fu Hua, is that it? I'll remember you. Come on, let me show you what I'm capable of!"
Fu Hua clasped her hands in a fist salute once more.
"please."
As soon as he finished speaking, March 7th launched the first attack, brandishing his twin swords and thrusting them at Fu Hua. Fu Hua remained calm, dodging to the side, then spun around and struck March 7th's shoulder with her palm instead of her fist.
In Fu Hua's view, the Three Months Seven Sword Technique was at best a minor achievement, and it was easily influenced by its surroundings. Its unstable state of mind was full of flaws, and she could find dozens of fatal weaknesses at a glance. Such huge flaws could be taken down with a single Inch Force Opening Heaven Technique—if it were a life-or-death duel with other masters, she would already be a corpse.
"The flaw is too big! Hmm?"
Despite being attacked from the side, March 7 showed no panic or intention to dodge. Fu Hua even subconsciously reduced the force of her iron palm, but she quickly understood why March 7 didn't dodge or evade.
A lighter version of the Inch Punch? The Heaven-Opening Strike struck the cool shield around March 7's body. The shield rippled, but steadily blocked the attack.
"Hit me again!"
March 7th grinned, and for some reason, enemies who were unfamiliar with her always liked to get close to her to fight, but most of those who wanted to get close to her were blocked by her teammates. Even if they did get close, they couldn't break through the beautiful girl's defense!
"Hehe, take this!"
Taking advantage of Fu Hua's moment of retracting her palm, March Seven pointed her sword directly at Fu Hua's throat. Once she reached a certain distance, she could cleanly declare victory. She could already see her six-game winning streak beckoning to her.
"How could I possibly lose when I'm in charge!"
It should be so.
Fu Hua frowned, not because she had miscalculated and hadn't considered that March 7 had other methods, but because of the shield itself.
Fu Hua was certain that it was definitely not the protective true qi formed by traditional Chinese internal energy cultivation. The essence of true qi was Honkai energy, but she couldn't feel any Honkai energy on that ice shield that was as hard as iron.
However, dealing with March 7 is more important right now. Fu Hua tilted her head back and punched March 7's wrists with both fists, trying to block March 7's twin swords.
However, the punch missed March 7th and hit the shield instead.
Is the shield an all-around defense?
"Hit me again!"
The shield was hit, and March 7 launched a counterattack with a speed that Fu Hua could not comprehend, thrusting her sword at Fu Hua. Even Fu Hua had to marvel at the girl's quick reaction, as she launched a counterattack almost the instant the shield was hit... but she was still too inexperienced.
Fu Hua flashed and circled around to March 7's side. March 7 hurriedly turned around, but Fu Hua was too fast, and March 7 couldn't keep up at all.
Seizing the opportunity, Fu Hua kicked March 7 in the leg, intending to throw her off balance and take her down. However, the shield activated again, firmly blocking the kick…
It is indeed a comprehensive defense.
"Behold my ultimate move! Star-Slaying and Universe-Shattering Great Glazed Sword!"
Fu Hua's attack failed, and March 7 seized the opportunity to counterattack. She continuously wielded her twin swords, shooting out several sword energies towards Fu Hua. But she did not dodge; instead, she spread her legs and punched forward, unleashing an unshakeable aura, deflecting all the sword energies with a single punch.
"That's interesting."
Fu Hua's eyes twitched slightly. She had thought the girl's skills were rudimentary, but her shield and sword aura made up for it. Clearly, she could only use the dual swords, not as her most proficient weapons.
"Sigh, they actually blocked them all?"
Seeing her attack blocked, March 7 was somewhat surprised. Although she was terrified of Tai Li's ruthlessness, it was still impossible for her to withstand a direct punch and emerge unscathed.
Even the company's mechs are no good!
"Student, you still have a lot of room for improvement."
Fu Hua gave what she considered to be the most objective assessment.
"You'd better watch out from here!"
After speaking, Fu Hua's aura suddenly changed, and a powerful pressure swept over them.
Fu Hua moved swiftly and fiercely, closing in on March 7 once again.
This move is called "Inch Punch? Mountain Collapse!"
Fu Hua didn't pause at all, and then followed up with a series of smooth and flowing punches. March Seven only felt a blur before his eyes, and before he could react, a rain of fists fell on his shield and burst into light.
Indeed, March 7's shield is very hard. Fu Hua guessed that it was probably a special ice shield ability, which would be difficult to break without sufficient means of attack (such as various heavy weapons), especially for someone like her who uses her fists as weapons and is unarmed—but that applies to ordinary people.
Fu Hua has many tricks up her sleeve, but she doesn't intend to use them. This time, she only wants to use the simplest and most direct method: a direct attack.
An ancient Chinese proverb says: "Excessive rigidity leads to breakage." No object can be both incredibly hard and exceptionally tough. Even a diamond can be shattered with a hammer.
Fu Hua doesn't have a hammer, but she has iron fists, and she believes that even the hardest ice shield is no match for diamond. Breaking the shield requires nothing else; bracers are merely icing on the cake. For Fu Hua, as long as her fists are fast enough to shatter the shield, that's enough!
This is terrible! The shield is about to explode!
March 7th was a little panicked. The frequency and force of the "inch strike" and "mountain collapse" attacks were too intense, and Fu Hua was only hitting a few points, leaving her vulnerable spots unattacked! If she could create some distance and have a little time, she could certainly use the Six Phases Ice to replenish her shield, but as soon as she retreated, Fu Hua would immediately follow up without giving her any chance to breathe. If she were to counterattack with her sword, Fu Hua would simply punch the sword and open it...
"Ouch! You have no sportsmanship! You actually launched a sneak attack!"
Danheng: ...
To be fair, Dan Heng didn't think it was a sneak attack; in fact, it was rather aboveboard: they warned you to be careful even before the attack began...
March 7th groaned a few times. Although Fu Hua hadn't hurt her, the force of the sword strike had still reached her, making her steps a little unsteady, and she almost dropped the sword.
Master Yanqing once said that when the general taught him swordsmanship, he said, "As a Cloud Cavalryman (Yun Li: March 7th is not a Cloud Cavalryman), you must not let your weapons slip from your hands." She almost made the big mistake that would punish her with ten sets of strength training and ten sets of aerobic exercise!
We're going to lose if we don't pull out all the stops! We absolutely can't let the two young apprentices down!
"This isn't over yet! I'm going to fight you to the death!"
On March 7th, he gritted his teeth, placed his hands flat at his sides, closed his eyes, and began to recall the sword moves.
"Left Azure Dragon, Right..."
A hint of admiration flashed in Fu Hua's eyes. Most people would have panicked by now, but March 7 was able to remain calm in the face of danger (she was too carefree) and even thought about counterattacking. Unfortunately, the shield had reached its limit and could not buy her any more time.
A single punch shattered the shield, while a second punch transformed into a grappling move, grabbing at March Seven's sword-wielding wrist. March Seven, in pain, instinctively relaxed, causing the sword to slip from his grasp. Immediately following, a sweeping leg attack struck March Seven's lower body, and another grappling move followed. The outcome was predictable.
"You flatter me."
Fu Hua released her grip and saw March 7 lying on the ground, looking utterly dejected.
More painful than the pain in her wrists and legs was her heart... However, what Fu Hua didn't know was that, given March 7's recovery speed, he would probably be able to focus on other things within two hours.
"Actually, you're already very—"
"Spare his life!"
Fu Hua looked back and saw three people rushing towards her. It was none other than Qiong.
What are you doing?
Seeing March 7 lying on the ground with a sorrowful expression, Qiong blurted out a question that was tinged with accusation without any reason or thought.
A few seconds later, he realized something was amiss and added a sentence.
"I'll join in the fun too."
"In March she insisted on fighting them, and as you can see, she lost."
With that shout, a figure emerged from the crowd; it was none other than Dan Heng…
Dan Heng whispered a few more words to Qiong, who nodded. Then, he and Qiong went to the fallen March 7.
"Qiong, you're here too? Hahaha..."
On March 7th, she forced a smile, stood up from the ground, and patted her skirt, trying to hide her disheveled appearance and embarrassing defeat.
"I just accidentally crashed! Give me another chance, let me change my clothes and pull out my bow and arrow, I'm sure I can—hey, what are you doing?"
"Ugh?!"
Exclamations of surprise came from the other Valkyries. In full view of everyone, Qiong actually wanted to carry March 7 in a princess carry?
"I'll take you to the infirmary. Aren't your hands and feet injured?"
Qiong remained calm and composed despite the whispers around him. He had a clear conscience, right?
"Who told you that? I'm not injured at all!"
"Danheng."
Qiong naturally looked at Zhao Dabao beside him, and then he saw Zhao Dabao staring at Zhao Xiangji with an indescribable look in his eyes.
"In March, don't push yourself, not even with a minor injury..."
"I'm not that fragile! Wait a minute..."
March 7th feels a bit off.
"Danheng, if you think I'm injured, why did you call Qiong to carry me? My leg isn't broken."
Danheng: ...
For a fleeting moment, he really wanted to punish March, but how exactly...
I haven't decided yet.
"Danheng doesn't know the way to the infirmary, and doesn't he have an injury on his hand?"
"Ah? Danheng, you're injured?"
Looking at March 7's puzzled eyes, Qiong was also dumbfounded.
What's going on? Is my good buddy Danheng playing a trick on me?
It's decided. Let's find an opportunity and a reason to let them experience the joy of cleaning the entire train together. This will be a great help to Qiong, who has amnesia, and March, who sleeps until noon: working can stimulate memory and make people sleep better and maintain a regular schedule.
I'll talk to the other three that evening!
"Qiong, do you know them?"
Feeling ignored by the others, Fu Hua couldn't help but speak up, "Where did this girl come from?"
Curiosity arose in Fu Hua's mind.
“They are my good friends, March 7th, Danheng.”
Qiong glanced at Zhou Tian, who was chatting happily with someone (it seemed to be the girl's doing) and even gave him a polite smile, and added another sentence.
"There's also Sunday."
"No matter what, let's get to the infirmary first!"
"Danheng, we're really alright!"
Dan Heng turned and left with Qiong and San Yueqi, leaving Shenzhou Tablet standing there. Watching their departing figures, Lao Fu fell into a brief moment of contemplation.
That boy who always had a gun in his hand looked much better at martial arts than the girl... but what was he thinking of doing just now?
Digging up Mei's corner?
