121: Discussion and guidance!
Zhang Yang entered the square and stood opposite Qing Lin.
A Formation light screen appeared above the square, capable of minimizing the aftershocks of their Martial Skill Moves.
“Come, Junior Brother Zhang Yang! Attack me with all your strength!” Qing Lin looked at Zhang Yang and shouted loudly.
There was a hint of confidence in Qing Lin's tone. Although Junior Brother Zhang Yang's natural talent was immense, his cultivation was only at the fifth level of the Grotto-Heaven Realm at this time.
Moreover, it had only been a few days since he arrived from the Southern Region, so the Martial Skills he practiced were likely only Earth Rank Middle Grade.
The gap between that and the Earth-rank High-grade Martial Skill he practiced was too large. Even if he hadn't reached Perfection in his Earth-rank High-grade Martial Skill, he was confident he could guide Junior Brother Zhang Yang.
“Who do you think will win?”
Above the square, Jiang Linyuan watched the two below with great interest, turned to Qing Xuan beside him, and asked with a smile.
“Qing Lin, probably. After all, he's significantly higher than Zhang Yang in both cultivation and Martial Skills.”
Qing Xuan looked down and spoke expressionlessly.
“Senior Brother, be careful.”
Seeing Qing Lin's appearance, Zhang Yang couldn't help but smile slightly and then advised him.
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Yang arrived in front of Qing Lin in one step and threw a punch, the wind from the fist surging.
His speed transcended the limits of space! One punch slammed into Qing Lin's stomach.
“So fast!”
Qing Lin was startled as he watched Zhang Yang appear beside him in an instant.
Seeing this punch tear through the limits of space and strike directly at him, he was even more astonished.
Before the sparring match, he had already deployed 'Worlds Apart' around himself!
Anyone wishing to attack him would first have to cross that vast distance.
But Zhang Yang's fist had actually pierced right through the spatial limit!
This meant that Zhang Yang's control over space was higher than his own!
He had easily broken through the 'Worlds Apart' protection!
“How is this possible! How long has it been since Junior Brother Zhang Yang broke through to the Grotto-Heaven Realm? Is his comprehension of space already this high? As expected of a Genius who could push Law comprehension to the third level while still in the Southern Region!”
Bang!
Zhang Yang's punch sent Qing Lin flying. Zhang Yang had controlled his strength for this punch,
only utilizing a small portion of his physical power, keeping it just slightly above the limit of the Grotto-Heaven Realm.
After all, it was just a sparring match.
“Qing Lin was actually sent flying by a single punch? Was he too careless?”
Witnessing this scene, everyone's eyes widened in disbelief.
After all, Zhang Yang had only just arrived in the Central State, while Qing Lin had been there for hundreds of years!
Despite the gap in cultivation and Martial Skills, he was sent flying by one punch! Carelessness was the only explanation!
“What incredible spatial control, to actually neutralize Qing Lin's 'Worlds Apart' protection directly.”
Above the square, Qing Xuan and Jiang Linyuan could see very clearly.
Qing Lin had deployed the 'Worlds Apart' protection around him. With his current cultivation, it was enough to stretch that distance to nearly ten thousand meters.
Yet Zhang Yang, relying on his superior spatial control,
instantly dismantled Qing Lin's 'Worlds Apart' protection net! This was why Qing Lin had been unable to react in time!
“Cough, cough!”
Qing Lin coughed heavily twice. Although Zhang Yang had held back his strength, that punch still made him feel very uncomfortable!
“Again!” Qing Lin took a long breath and looked at Zhang Yang!
Subsequently, the two began a true sparring match.
But the process truly exceeded everyone's expectations; Zhang Yang was completely suppressing Qing Lin.
Even when Qing Lin used his proud Earth-rank High-grade Martial Skill at Major Achievement, it had no effect on Zhang Yang whatsoever.
Zhang Yang saw through the flaws of the Martial Skill almost instantly and neutralized Qing Lin's Moves with a single punch.
Watching this, the surrounding crowd collectively gasped.
“This... isn't Senior Brother Qing Lin the strongest Grotto-Heaven Realm practitioner in our Qingfeng Dharma Lineage?”
One Disciple muttered to himself as he watched this unexpected scene.
“Yeah, but this scene...”
Another Disciple nodded, staring blankly as Zhang Yang dominated Qing Lin, somewhat speechless.
Inside the arena, Qing Lin, who was sparring with Zhang Yang, was even more shocked internally.
He had already used all his Martial Skill Moves, but they were useless against Zhang Yang.
Every time he made a Move, it was as if Zhang Yang had seen through his flaws,
easily crushing his techniques.
As the match continued, Qing Lin gradually realized—Zhang Yang was guiding him!
Zhang Yang was pointing out the flaws between his Moves!
Qing Lin suddenly understood!
As Zhang Yang once again crushed a flaw in his technique, Qing Lin's mind raced, thinking about how to improve his Moves!
Soon, Qing Lin continued his attacks, but his Moves now carried a different kind of variation.
Sensing this, Zhang Yang couldn't help but reveal a slight smile.
Zhang Yang had long ago reached Perfection in all the Earth-rank Martial Skills Qing Lin had learned, so he could naturally discover the flaws in his Moves with ease.
Thus, by breaking his flaws, he prompted him to progress and eliminate those weaknesses.
After some time, Qing Lin and Zhang Yang stopped and stood still.
“Thank you for your guidance, Junior Brother Zhang Yang. Only today do I truly understand what it means for there to be always someone better and a higher heaven!” Qing Lin bowed and said loudly.
After this sparring session, the flaws in Qing Lin's Martial Skills were gone. He only needed to digest the experience slightly to bring all his practiced Martial Skills to Perfection!
“No need for thanks, it was also due to your own realization, Senior Brother Qing Lin.”
Zhang Yang smiled and waved his hand. In this match, he had only dismantled the various flaws in Qing Lin's Martial Skill Moves and hadn't provided too much direct instruction.
“What exaggerated insight! To be able to see through the flaws in Qing Lin's Moves almost in an instant! Could it be that Junior Brother Zhang Yang has other talents?” Jiang Linyuan said in surprise from above the square.
In the Central State, all sorts of talents existed. Talents that could see through the flaws in an enemy's Martial Skill Moves were not unheard of.
The manifestations were even different; some relied solely on their eyes, some on their Primordial Spirit, and others on intuition.
“Probably, though I'm not sure what kind of talent it is.” Beside him, Qing Xuan hesitated for a moment before nodding slightly.
“How about it? Do you still want to spar with Junior Brother Zhang Yang?”
At this time, someone looked at the person who had said earlier that they would be the next to spar with Zhang Yang and asked with a laugh.
That person swallowed hard, recalling the scene of the match between Junior Brother Zhang Yang and Senior Brother Qing Lin, feeling somewhat hesitant.
Then, his eyes became determined.
“Of course I do. Didn't you see how much Senior Brother Qing Lin gained after sparring with Junior Brother Zhang Yang?”
“With the Dharma Lineage Competition approaching, improving strength is the top priority. I couldn't ask for more than to spar with Junior Brother Zhang Yang!”
As he spoke, he stretched his body, seemingly bolstering his courage, came before Zhang Yang, and bowed.
“I also ask Junior Brother Zhang Yang to please guide me!”
Zhang Yang smiled slightly upon hearing this and then nodded:
“Come!”
