Beast Taming Patrol

Chapter 257: Battle with Xing Yun

“Hey hey, who do you guys think looks better?” Han Yu couldn’t help but whisper to his teammates nearby.

“Of course, it’s Instructor Xing.”

Next to her, the bespectacled boy named Ye Han pushed his glasses up and unhesitatingly spoke up.

“I think it’s Instructor Xing, too.”

On the other side, a taller boy named Zhou Hua also nodded in agreement.

The other teammates chimed in one by one.

“But I think Lin Su’s spear technique won’t be inferior.” Faced with such a one-sided prediction from his teammates, Zhang Xiaoyu couldn’t help speaking up.

He still thought Lin Su was stronger.

“Not to mention anything else, let’s just analyze from a strength perspective.” Ye Han pushed his glasses up and calmly started, “You all saw Instructor Xing’s stick technique just now. The way he swung that stick was visibly ferocious, and since Instructor Xing has been a soldier for many years, he definitely has more strength than Lin Su.”

“But what if Lin Su’s spear technique is more sophisticated?” Zhang Xiaoyu scratched his head, his voice growing weaker.

As he asked this question, the other teammates looked at him as if he were a fool.

“Instructor Xing already said his stick technique has been passed down from his ancestors, and he’s been practicing since he was a child,” Zhou Hua couldn’t help but mutter, “Even if Lin Su had started learning spear technique in the womb, he wouldn’t be a match for the instructor, right?”

“Alright then.” Zhang Xiaoyu didn’t say anything further and turned his gaze to Qiuqiu and Guigui standing beside him, their eyes filled with tension and concern.

Are you guys also nervous for your Beast Tamer?

A flicker of anticipation appeared in his eyes.

Lin Su, I believe you can do it!

“It’s started!” Han Yu suddenly exclaimed, her eyes gleaming as she looked toward the other side of the courtyard.

Everyone hurriedly fell silent and shifted their gaze accordingly.

On the open ground on the other side of the courtyard, a stocky middle-aged man holding a black stick faced off against a young man with a silver-white long spear slung on his back.

It was Xing Yun and Lin Su, preparing to exchange moves.

When Xing Yun took the initiative to suggest a sparring match, Lin Su was initially surprised but then agreed without hesitation.

By now, he had passed the period of practicing the basic techniques of spear arts and had begun practicing the “Nameless Spear Technique” given to him by his father.

Practicing spear techniques isn’t about rigidly following the movements and essences described in the techniques but about integrating and understanding them after becoming familiar with them.

So, his way of practicing the spear had drastically changed from before. He was now refining his skills through constant sparring with his father, who continuously fed him moves, allowing him to understand how to apply the spear techniques in various combat situations, eventually turning them into subconscious actions. Only then could one say their spear technique has achieved a certain level.

The sparring with Xing Yun was also a way to hone his spear skills.

Having seen Xing Yun’s stick technique earlier, Lin Su knew the opponent had immersed himself in this field for many years. Even with his father’s high-level spear-art guidance and his own Body Refinement Realm cultivation, granting him great control over his body and thus improving his learning efficiency, he was definitely not Xing Yun’s match for the time being.

After all, the time he had spent learning the spear technique was really short.

It was a rare opportunity that Xing Yun had offered to spar, not an opportunity Lin Su could afford to miss.

So, after agreeing, Lin Su unhesitatingly went upstairs to get his spear, then came down.

That led to the scene before them.

“Are you still energetic after just finishing training?” Xing Yun stepped forward and spoke in a heavy tone.

“During the meal, Qiuqiu used the Life Spore to help us recover our strength,” Lin Su nodded, “I’m fine.”

“Good!” Xing Yun roared, his demeanor suddenly shifting, “Throughout the entire military camp, I haven’t found many who can use cold weapons. I didn’t expect to find a student proficient in spear techniques. Let’s see just how good your spear technique is then. You attack first!”

“Then I won’t hold back.” Lin Su gave a slight nod, knowing he was at a disadvantage. In the next instant, he stepped forward aggressively, his long spear already sweeping up and aiming straight for Xing Yun’s vital point on his chest.

Thrust!

Direct and straightforward.

Lin Su’s spear technique was exceptionally frank but captured the essence of “thrusting” perfectly.

Fast!

The thrust was incredibly quick. In the instant the shiny silver blade glittered under the sunlight, the spear tip, with a faint whistling sound, was already close to Xing Yun.

“What?”

Seeing Lin Su’s thrust, the squad was taken aback.

They had never seen Lin Su use that long spear before.

To them, outsiders to the art, Lin Su’s sharp thrust seemed suddenly daunting.

They hadn’t expected Lin Su’s spear technique to appear so skilled.

Could such an attack possibly threaten Instructor Xing?

They couldn’t help but think.

“Well done!”

Xing Yun bellowed, his black stick moving like a dancing dragon. In that instant, facing Lin Su’s incoming spear, his stick accurately tapped the point where the silver blade met the shaft, accompanied by a clash of metal.

Deflection!

Veins on Xing Yun’s forearms bulged as he exerted force in a flash, quickly diverting the spear tip that had been aimed at his chest.

Lin Su felt an overwhelming force suddenly erupt from the side of his spear, traveling up the shaft to his firmly gripping hand, striking the base of his palm like a hammer, causing intense pain, and almost completely losing control of the spear in that instant. His originally direct thrust was easily deflected like parting tall grass under Xing Yun’s deflection move.
