"Since Grandpa asked me to teach you, I will teach you well. You can't be lazy for the next few days." Qian Renxue crossed her arms, slowly raised her right hand, and beckoned to Lin Yu: "Come on, release your Spirit and attack me. Let me see your combat fundamentals first."
"I won't release my Spirit, and I will suppress my spirit power to the same level as yours."
"All you need to do is attack with all your might and hit me once. If you can do it, I, your Xue'er Jie, will reward you with a lollipop."
Lin Yu rolled his eyes when he heard this: "Seriously? Xue'er Jie, do you think I'm still a two-year-old kid? A lollipop counts as a reward?"
"Then what do you want?"
Lin Yu thought for a moment, then smirked: "I got it! If I succeed, then after today's training, you'll give me a massage, rub my shoulders, rub my legs, loosen up my muscles and bones, stuff like that!"
"Hmph, you little brat, you're dreaming big." Qian Renxue was a bit speechless.
But she readily agreed, because in her opinion, Lin Yu couldn't possibly succeed: "Alright! But you won't be able to do it."
"We'll see about that." Lin Yu shrugged.
With that, he stopped talking nonsense and released his Spirit.
The Angel Martial Soul, possessing seven attributes and six different colored wings, appeared behind him, looking cool and handsome.
Qian Renxue's phoenix eyes narrowed slightly: "Angel? What kind of Angel Spirit is this?"
"I call it Element Angel!"
"Element Angel? Interesting, come on."
Lin Yu's fighting Spirit instantly surged. This was his first battle since becoming a Spirit Master.
And facing an opponent like Qian Renxue, even if she didn't release her Spirit and suppressed her spirit power to the same level, Lin Yu knew she wouldn't be easy to deal with.
Because his combat fundamentals and experience were indeed those of a Xiao Bai.
He charged towards Qian Renxue, a straight punch with his left arm directly at her!
"Heh." Qian Renxue's lips curved upwards, and with just a sidestep, she avoided the attack.
Lin Yu immediately swung his right arm, a hook punch.
And Qian Renxue quickly raised her arm, blocking another punch.
Lin Yu immediately raised his leg, intending to elbow Qian Renxue with his knee, but it was also easily defused by Qian Renxue.
No matter how Lin Yu attacked, how he swung his fists and legs, it was as if Qian Renxue completely saw through him, unable to land a single hit!
"Your attacks have too many unnecessary movements, not clean and crisp at all, and completely lack rhythm and continuity. In most cases, your fighting style is too chaotic, without any method or thought!"
Qian Renxue, while fending off Lin Yu's fierce attacks, could still calmly point out his shortcomings, showing how effortlessly she was handling him.
"Is this the difference in combat ability…?"
Lin Yu felt deeply for the first time the obvious gap in strength between them, demonstrated by combat experience.
Bang!
"Ugh!"
Qian Renxue finally made a move, sending Lin Yu staggering back five meters with a punch: "Little brat, in battles between Spirit Masters, relying solely on strength isn't enough; you also need to use your brain."
"Before attacking, you must plan out a combat strategy in advance. After the first punch, how should the second, third, and fourth moves be executed, and how should they be fought!"
"This way, your offense will become more fierce, rhythmic, methodical, and continuous, and also much cleaner and crisper."
"Some people with sufficiently powerful combat awareness even know how to deduce and predict. For example, if your first move is a left-arm hook punch, you should predict in advance how the opponent will block if they choose to defend? And then how should your second move effectively attack?"
"At the same time, you must maintain focus and concentration so that you can better observe your opponent's actions, and thus predict your opponent's attacking intentions from their subtle movements."
"For example, if the opponent clearly intends to raise their left leg to kick you, then if you observe it, you can react in advance."
"Or, for example, if the opponent is preparing to release a Spirit Ability, and so on, Lin Yu, do you understand?"
Qian Renxue lectured at length, all of it valuable information that greatly benefited Lin Yu. He calmed down to absorb, digest this knowledge, and seriously contemplate it.
A moment later, Lin Yu seemed to know how he should fight. He once again surged with fighting Spirit: "Again!"
Bang!
Lin Yu instantly burst into a sprint, attacking Qian Renxue again.
But this time, Lin Yu had clearly transformed; his offensive was vastly, vastly more ferocious than the first time!
"How can this kid comprehend so quickly! Is he a natural-born combat genius?!" Qian Renxue was incredibly amazed internally.
Talking is one thing, listening is another.
Everyone understands the reason, but not everyone can comprehend it.
What she taught wasn't difficult, but to what extent one can achieve it, and how strong one can become, requires countless days and nights of sweating, continuous fighting, continuous practice, and continuous accumulation of experience!
And the talent Lin Yu displayed at this moment was faster than an ordinary Spirit Master's efforts for a whole month!
"This Lin Yu is simply a monster!"
Qian Renxue was endlessly amazed, but she had seven years of combat experience after all, so this level still couldn't threaten her.
She kicked Lin Yu flying again.
Bang!
"I absolutely cannot praise him, I can't let this kid get too arrogant!" Qian Renxue thought to herself, then said sternly: "Heh, not bad, you've improved a bit."
"But with this level, it's impossible for you to hit me once and make me give you a massage."
"Just release your Spirit Ability and attack."
Qian Renxue was full of confidence, feeling she could still easily handle Lin Yu.
However, a more confident smile appeared on Lin Yu's face: "Hey, Xue'er Jie, I think maybe you should release your Spirit, after all, if I use my Spirit Ability, you'll definitely lose."
"Big talk. Do you think you can hit me by releasing your Spirit Ability? Even if your first Spirit Ability is a self-enhancement boost, with your current combat experience, it's impossible for you to hurt me." Qian Renxue said with disdain.
"Alright, then you have to honor your bet."
"My first Spirit Ability is almost like a bug in the early stages. Without releasing her Spirit and suppressing her spirit power, even Qian Renxue, with seven years of combat experience, would find it hard not to be hit by me." Lin Yu smiled.
A yellow spirit ring slowly rose from under his feet.
"First Spirit Ability, Element Control!"
Seven types of extreme elemental energy surged from Lin Yu's body. His Element Control was boosted by one hundred percent. At this moment, he entered his strongest state.
He switched to the fire main body.
Then he slowly raised both hands, forming a pistol-like shape with his fingers and pointing them at Qian Renxue.
"Fire Control, Finger Gun!"
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Lin Yu's index fingers were like machine guns, instantly firing a large number of flame bullets condensed and compressed from extreme flames.
He unleashed a barrage of shots at Qian Renxue.
"This is your first Spirit Ability? It doesn't look like much!"
Qian Renxue quickly started running, dodging the flame bullets while closing the distance with Lin Yu.
"Quite fast, and the power is decent, but you can't hit me!"
