Chapter 40 Rematch with Luo Hai
The intelligent fighter jet quickly transported Chen Yuan back to the training camp.
Chen Yuan stepped out of the fighter jet's cockpit, turned around and watched the dark blue fighter jet take off, watching it disappear into the distance.
Afterwards, Chen Yuan called Jiang Fang to cancel his leave.
After doing all this, Chen Yuan headed towards Jiangnan Pavilion.
Just as he reached the door, a figure suddenly rushed out of the pavilion and gave Chen Yuan a tight bear hug without saying a word.
"Chen Yuan! You've made me wait so long!" Luo Hai's tone was exaggeratedly mournful.
Chen Yuan was somewhat confused: "What's going on? I was only gone for eight days, you don't need to think about me like this."
"Also, let go of me first. Do you know how strong you are?" Chen Yuan rolled his eyes and said irritably.
"Hey, it's because the guys in the training camp are all weaklings." Luo Hai loosened his grip, looking frustrated. "They all claim to be global elites, but they can't even withstand a single move from me."
"Is the gap really that big?" Chen Yuan was slightly surprised. Since entering the camp, he had basically not interacted with the students outside of Jiangnan Pavilion. "Even Lu Yuan, who was ranked first, is not good enough?"
"Lu Yuan is passable, he can last about ten moves against me, but he's far inferior to you." Luo Hai shook his head, then suddenly lowered his voice mysteriously, "However, the one who lasted the longest wasn't Lu Yuan, but someone else entirely. Can you guess who it is?"
"I don't know anyone in the training camp, how am I supposed to guess?" Chen Yuan looked at Luo Hai's winking and a thought struck him. "Judging from your expression, I should know the person you're talking about. Could it be Senior Sister Yu Qinglan from our Jiangnan Pavilion?"
"That's right, it's her." Luo Hai slapped his thigh. "Lu Yuan couldn't even last ten moves, but Senior Sister Yu can go thirty with me. What's even more amazing is..." He deliberately dragged out the words, "Senior Sister Yu's fighting style is practically a carbon copy of yours!"
"What do you mean by 'my copy'?" Chen Yuan chuckled, finding Luo Hai's statement exaggerated. "You mean, Senior Sister Yu also comprehended the Wind Intent?"
"It is indeed the essence of wind, but the way it is used is surprisingly similar to yours." Luo Hai paused for a moment, "How should I put it, Senior Sister Yu's ability is very strange. Her moves are at least 70% similar to yours, but the core power feels different."
"Oh?" Chen Yuan was intrigued by Luo Hai's words. Was there really someone similar to him? After all, his swordsmanship was optimized by the system, and theoretically, it was unique in the world.
Just then, Chen Yuan had an idea, and then smiled at Luo Hai and said, "Speaking of which, we haven't seen each other for so long, why don't you spar with me?"
Luo Hai's eyes lit up. He had been pestering Chen Yuan precisely for the sake of sparring, so he nodded repeatedly: "Okay, then let's go into the virtual space."
"No, what I mean is, how about we have a real-life spar?" Chen Yuan stopped Luo Hai from taking out his consciousness helmet. "How about we go to the training ground?"
"You mean in reality?" Luo Hai's eyes widened slightly. "There's a big difference in our strength, isn't there? I'm already at the peak of the God of War level."
"I've already used the dragon's blood, and my basic strength has reached the level of a beginner-level War God. With my current 4.6 times power exertion, I'm now a high-level War God." Chen Yuan smiled. "If you don't use any power exertion techniques, the difference won't be too big."
"4.6 times the power, looks like you've improved quite a bit lately." Luo Hai hadn't sparred with Chen Yuan for a while, and immediately rubbed his hands together, eager for a match. "Alright, let's spar at the training ground; the space is bigger there."
So the two left Jiangnan Pavilion directly. Before leaving, Chen Yuan glanced back at him seemingly unintentionally.
A moment later, a figure walked out of Jiangnan Pavilion; it was Yu Qinglan.
Inside the training ground, Luo Hai booked the largest arena and even invited a planetary-level instructor to be the referee. Afterward, the two of them each selected their weapons.
Unlike battles in virtual space, the weapons in the training ground are all unsharpened, and it is strictly forbidden to strike vital parts of the body to ensure the safety of the trainees as much as possible.
Even so, injuries and fatalities still occur at the training ground every year.
After all, when things get really heated, who cares about the rules? As a martial artist, one instinctively aims for the opponent's vital points.
In real combat, life and death can sometimes be decided in an instant, so fast that even the referee can't intervene in time.
However, neither Chen Yuan nor Luo Hai had this worry, because they were both wearing the Black God Set. With their apprentice-level strength, they were basically unable to break through the Black God Set's defense, which greatly ensured their safety.
Seeing the flowing black battle armor on Chen Yuan's body, Luo Hai suddenly realized and laughed loudly, "So that's how it is! With the Black God Set protecting him, he can indeed fight more freely."
Chen Yuan, completely shrouded in black battle armor, nodded upon hearing this: "Apart from your power generation techniques, use all your strength, including the Hundred Fierce Blades."
Luo Hai nodded emphatically: "Okay, you said it yourself."
Because of Luo Hai, the crowd gathering outside the arena was growing larger and larger.
As a renowned powerhouse in the training camp, Luo Hai was virtually invincible. Everyone present had been defeated by him and naturally had a deep impression of him.
When they saw that someone actually dared to fight Luo Hai in reality, they were all taken aback and gathered around to see who was so reckless.
"Who is Luo Hai's opponent? I don't think I've seen him in the training camp before?"
"His name is Chen Yuan, the guy who's second on the leaderboard, he entered the training camp with Luo Hai."
Some people were puzzled, while others provided answers, and soon everyone knew the identities of the two sides in this battle.
With the referee waving his hand, the battle officially began.
As always, Luo Hai charged straight ahead, creating a sonic boom in an instant, and arrived in front of Chen Yuan in the blink of an eye.
As Luo Hai drew a sharp arc with his longsword, he had already mentally rehearsed the next move, because he was so familiar with Chen Yuantai that they both knew each other's moves inside and out.
Based on Luo Hai's past experience, he knew that when faced with this strike, the opponent would likely retreat to create distance and then seek another opportunity to strike. Therefore, as Luo Hai swung his sword, he had already prepared his feet, intending to close in on Chen Yuan the moment he retreated, not giving him a chance to move around freely.
However, this time Chen Yuan only slightly turned his body, and the blade grazed the hem of his clothes.
"How could this be!" Luo Hai was shocked. He couldn't figure out whether Chen Yuan was being arrogant or confident. But he didn't change his hand movements. As Chen Yuan dodged, he turned his blade and slashed at Chen Yuan's waist, who was right in front of him.
Unexpectedly, Chen Yuan, as if he had foreseen the future, spun around and dodged again.
Luo Hai was astonished and continued his pursuit in disbelief. However, faced with his fierce and relentless attacks, Chen Yuan dodged each attack by the slightest margin, as if he were dancing on the edge of a knife.
Meticulous!
At their level, subtle techniques are considered low-level skills, only used when dominating weaker opponents.
Since everyone has similar skill levels, they all have many ways to counter subtle techniques. Anyone who dares to use this tactic in front of them should be prepared to be relentlessly attacked.
But Chen Yuan succeeded. He not only dodged Luo Hai's attacks with his exquisite skills, but also effortlessly avoided the subsequent pursuit. Luo Hai slashed more than a hundred times, but not a single one hit him.
Chen Yuan smiled, his mental power permeating the entire arena, and Luo Hai's every move was under his control.
The moment his opponent made a swinging motion, Chen Yuan had already predicted the trajectory of the blade, and then calmly dodged it, even employing subtle techniques.
Luo Hai is hot!
The constant attacks were dodged, which made him anxious and increasingly alarmed, especially since he had already used the Hundred-Fierce Blade!
Even with a thousand tribulations and unparalleled sword speed, Chen Yuan was still able to dodge with ease. Luo Hai racked his brains but couldn't understand how the other party did it.
Luo Hai panicked and instinctively used his power-generating technique, unleashing planetary-level power that slashed towards Chen Yuan like a bolt of lightning.
The crowd gasped in surprise, and even the referee's expression changed; he immediately stepped forward.
However, Chen Yuan remained calm in the face of the blade. As soon as Luo Hai exerted his strength, he lightly touched the ground with his feet and instantly took a step back. The blade grazed his nose without even touching the hem of his clothes.
However, Luo Hai did not pursue further. He stood there, staring blankly at his knife, his face full of confusion.
Because Luo Hai knew that when he used power beyond what was agreed upon, the outcome was already decided.
"Luo Hai violated the rules by using excessive force; Chen Yuan wins this battle." The referee announced the result according to the rules agreed upon by the two.
Faced with this result, everyone gasped in surprise once again.
Luo Hai actually lost!
