High Martial Arts: Liver Becomes the Master of the Universe

Chapter 35 A Thousand Armies Repel
With the martial arts test over, the final and highest-scoring item—combat simulation—officially begins.

The practical simulation is also divided into two parts.

Part One: Demonstration of Killing Techniques

The students need to demonstrate the killing techniques they have been learning over the past month in their entirety, and Professor Gu Yue will personally score them.

When Qin Feng held the spear and unleashed the basic spear technique of "Thousand Army Spears," which had become ingrained in his bones, even Gu Yue, who was known for his strictness, couldn't help but stroke his goatee and nod repeatedly.

The fluid and seamless transitions of the moves, the perfect control over the rhythm of offense and defense, and the restrained yet steady killing intent honed on the battlefield all impressed Gu Yue.

Qin Feng's killing technique demonstration unsurprisingly received a perfect score.

Part Two: Virtual Battles.

All students will enter the Imperial Arena to engage in one-on-one combat against a teacher appointed by the school, in a fair environment where everyone's vitality index is locked at 10.0.

The teacher will give the final combat score based on the student's skills, awareness and adaptability in the battle.

"Next up, Qin Feng."

When Qin Feng's name was called, Professor Gu Yue stood up personally.

"I'll take this student."

He looked at Qin Feng, his always-squinting eyes gleaming with interest.

The other teachers smiled knowingly at this.

They knew that Professor Gu had taken a liking to this talent and wanted to personally assess the abilities of this marksmanship prodigy.

Qin Feng and Professor Gu Yue simultaneously activated their subspace network access passes, which had transformed into wrist-mounted terminals.

When Qin Feng opened his eyes again, he found himself in that familiar, huge arena that floated above the nebula.

On the opposite side of the arena, Professor Gu Yue's figure slowly materialized.

He wore no armor, only held a three-meter-long spear, and possessed the imposing presence of a grandmaster.

Qin Feng stared at it for a moment, and the data of the Imperial Arena appeared before his eyes.

[ID: Gu Yue]

[Rank: Fighter]

【Points: 49000】

Record: 7462221 wins, 7442021 losses

[Self-introduction: Skilled with a long spear.]

[Enemy Evaluation (999+): Spear strikes like a dragon; Silver spear treads on snow; Decisive in killing; Old silver coin 666... ​​Comments folded here]

"A fighter?!"

Qin Feng's eyes widened.

If he remembered correctly, the arena was divided into nine ranks, from one to nine. Above the ninth rank were Fighter, Strongman, Expert, Master, Heavenly King, Martial Venerable...

Like the Starry Sky Cup, countless geniuses emerge from the competition, but the highest rank is only eighth dan.

Qiming No.1 High School truly boasts a strong teaching staff!

Moreover, this teacher Gu Yue is skilled in marksmanship!
Please select your weapon.

Without hesitation, Qin Feng chose a standard alloy long spear, ready to learn the technique from the master.

Such real-world experience is rare and hard to come by!

Once he seizes the opportunity, just like when Sun Chantang gave him a little guidance back then, his improvement is rapid, comparable to defying fate!

【5, 4, 3, 2, 1...】

[Battle begins!]

The moment the countdown ended, Qin Feng moved.

Without the slightest probing, he immediately adjusted himself to his peak condition, and the spear in his hand transformed into a silver lightning bolt, piercing straight towards Professor Gu Yue's chest.

Faced with this lightning-fast shot, Professor Gu Yue simply calmly raised his gun.

His movements appeared slow, yet he struck first, effortlessly blocking Qin Feng's spear tip from an unbelievable angle.

"clang!"

A soft sound.

Qin Feng felt an irresistible, extremely pure force coming from the tip of the spear, and his sure-fire shot was easily neutralized.

"The speed is good, and the power is also well-concentrated."

Professor Gu Yue's voice rang out calmly, "However, your gun only has 'form,' not 'soul.'"

He slightly shifted his fingers.

Qin Feng felt a spiraling, dark force surging wildly along the spear shaft, making it almost impossible for him to hold onto the spear.

He quickly put away his gun and retreated, re-assuming his fighting stance.

"The Thousand Armies Spears is derived from the battlefield, and its core lies in the word 'momentum'."

As Professor Gu Yue spoke, he slowly walked towards Qin Feng. "In your previous battles, you have already grasped how to 'borrow momentum' and how to 'create momentum.' However, you have not yet learned how to integrate your own essence, energy, and spirit with the spear to form your own 'spear momentum.'"

"Come on, attack again. Forget the moves, forget the techniques, use your heart to feel your gun." Professor Gu Yue's words resonated in Qin Feng's heart like a morning bell.

Qin Feng took a deep breath and launched another attack.

This time, he no longer adhered to specific moves, but instead poured all his understanding of marksmanship into every swing.

On the arena, gunshots flew and the wind howled.

Professor Gu Yue remained unarmed throughout, calmly navigating Qin Feng's relentless attacks as if taking a leisurely stroll.

He could always neutralize Qin Feng's attacks in the simplest and most direct way, and while doing so, he would also use words to incisively point out the shortcomings in Qin Feng's spear technique.

"Your thrust was full of killing intent, but the power dissipated. The power of the spear tip should have come from your waist and hips, not your arm."

"This sweep covers a wide area, but it overlooks the shift in the center of gravity. If the enemy takes advantage of this to attack your lower body, you will undoubtedly be defeated."

"When defending, don't just passively parry. Every contact with the enemy's weapon is a test, an opportunity to feel the opponent's strength and intentions. Your gun is your eyes, your tentacles, not just a shield."

Under Professor Gu Yue's constant guidance, Qin Feng completely forgot that this was an exam.

He was immersed in this unprecedented and exhilarating battle and learning experience.

His marksmanship is undergoing a transformation at a speed visible to the naked eye.

From awkwardness to fluency, and then to sophistication.

[Under the guidance of a master, your understanding of "Thousand Army Spear" has deepened; "Thousand Army Spear" proficiency +5]

[In actual combat, you have mastered the techniques of power transmission, and your proficiency in "Thousand Army Spear" has increased by 4.]

……

The proficiency level on the panel began to increase at an unprecedented and frenzied rate.

A full hour passed.

When Qin Feng swept his spear across the ground again, he suddenly felt that the spear in his hand was no longer a cold weapon, but had become a part of his body, an extension of his will.

A sudden realization dawned on me.

"drink!"

"A thousand troops would flee in terror!"

He let out a low shout, concentrating all his strength and spirit into the gun, transmitting it to the tip, and suddenly swept it horizontally, drawing a streak of light like a crescent moon.

This shot didn't aim for any of Professor Gu Yue's vital organs, but rather swept across the empty space in front of him.

But where the spear tip passed, the air emitted a sharp, unbearable burst of airflow!

An invisible, condensed spear aura emanated from his body!

"good."

Professor Gu Yue's eyes finally revealed a hint of genuine approval, "Comprehending a killing move means you've touched the threshold of 'spear stance'."

"Now that you have already used the 'Thousands of Troops Repel' technique, you can continue to observe."

Professor Gu Yue smiled and said, “Watch closely, the first killing move of the Thousand Army Spear is called ‘Thousand Army Repelling’.”

One shot swept out, and a thousand troops scattered!

Qin Feng was stunned, feeling as if a thousand troops were charging towards him.

He strained to open his eyes wide, abandoning all defenses, and carefully watched Professor Gu Yue's every move, trying to imprint everything before him into his mind.

Professor Gu Yue stood before the vast army, his spear swung out with unparalleled power, sweeping across the land and conquering all directions.

In that instant, Qin Feng felt as if his soul was about to be completely crushed by that unparalleled force of the spear.

[By observing a master's martial arts demonstration, you have grasped the true meaning of 'A Thousand Armies Repel', and your proficiency in "Thousand Armies Spear" has increased by 3.]

[By observing a master's martial arts demonstration, you have grasped the true meaning of 'A Thousand Armies Repel', and your proficiency in "Thousand Armies Spear" has increased by 7.]

[Proficiency +8]

[Proficiency +10]

【…】

[Your mastery of "Thousand Armies Spear" has reached 100, and your skill level has been raised to 'Minor Success'!]

[Killing Technique: Thousand Army Spear (Minor Mastery)]

[Proficiency: 71/1000]

[Effect: At the current cultivation level, comprehension of spear techniques will receive a slight increase.]

When Qin Feng recovered from the shock of the gun's intent, he found himself out of the arena and back in the virtual connection pod.

The "exam," which lasted for a full hour, has come to an end.

He exited the Imperial Arena, his mind returning from the subspace. He opened his eyes and saw Professor Gu Yue already standing outside.

Without hesitation, Qin Feng stepped forward and bowed deeply to the old man who had only guided him for an hour but from whom he had benefited greatly.

"Thank you for your guidance, Professor Gu."

"Ah."

Professor Gu Yue stroked his beard, a satisfied smile on his face. "Good comprehension, my teaching was worthwhile."

Qin Feng bowed again to express his gratitude.

When he returned to the group, he found that all his classmates were looking at him with a complex mix of envy, jealousy, and admiration.

They waited quietly for a full hour.

No one complained.

Because they all clearly understood that for someone like Professor Gu Yue to personally give a one-hour private lesson represented the highest level of recognition.

Qin Feng earned this privilege through his comprehension.

As is widely known, the number of times a contract is signed, or the points consumed, can earn you guidance from renowned mentors.

But some geniuses are valued by famous teachers, who are willing to give them private lessons, and no one can say anything about that.

What else can we say besides envy, jealousy, and admiration?

In yesterday's bloody battle with the green-skinned soldiers, everyone witnessed Qin Feng's marksmanship. After waiting for an hour, the students were completely convinced!
