Chapter 70 Understanding of Weapons
"Before this, I thought Young Master Jiang's understanding and use of weapons were not inferior to mine. However, I ask myself if I didn't have such understanding as Young Master Jiang when I was at the intermediate level. Therefore, Young Master Jiang's understanding of weapons should be better than mine." Guard Xu said to Jiang Xuan in a serious tone, holding a dark spear in his hand.

Guard Xu's words were not compliments, but his true thoughts.

If it were someone else, Guard Xu might still feel a little unconvinced, but at this moment, the warrior in front of him named Jiang Xuan was also a free and easy-going person like him, Guard Xu, and it really felt like they had met too late.

The problem with the Jingzhe Gun was preliminarily solved. As soon as Jiang Xuan's excitement subsided, he fell into a bit of embarrassment again.

In this sparring match with Guard Xu, Jiang Xuan could not display his skills such as the Suiyuan Spear Technique at will, which made it even more difficult for him to use his skills since he was already at an absolute disadvantage in terms of strength.

"Okay, the matter of Jingzhe Spear has come to an end for the time being. Now, please don't hold back, Mr. Jiang, and fight me with all your strength!" Guard Xu was a little excited. He grasped the dark spear and said to Jiang Xuan.

"Okay!" Jiang Xuan temporarily put aside his worries about not being able to use moves such as the Suiyuan Spear Technique. He raised the silver spear in his hand, stepped forward, and headed straight for Guard Xu.

After the initial fight, Jiang Xuan and Guard Xu had some understanding of each other, so they became less polite and conducted their exchanges more directly.

Entering the attack range, Jiang Xuan swung his arm, and the silver spear drew an arc, which was easily blocked by Xu Huwei. At this time, Jiang Xuan took advantage of Xu Huwei's blocking moment to find a more advantageous position and launched another round of attacks on Xu Huwei.

The two spears collided, making sounds of metal colliding, and the silver and dark lines presented were also quite beautiful.

The two men engaged in close combat. Jiang Xuan had a stronger desire to attack, while guard Xu did not have much difficulty in defending.

"The current attack method is too conservative. It won't put too much pressure on Guard Xu, so there's not much point in sparring with him. If I want to gain something and improve, I have to show some ability and pose some serious threat to Guard Xu." Jiang Xuan thought to himself.

Jiang Xuan slightly changed the way he exerted force with his wrist. He did not increase his attack speed, but there were some subtle changes in the way he attacked. The silver spear no longer drew the usual arc as usual, but presented lines like willow leaves.

"Interesting." Guard Xu said casually when he saw the changes in Jiang Xuan's spear moves.

Although he didn't show it on his face, Guard Xu was now feeling even greater pressure than before. More importantly, the pressure he was under was gradually increasing with time.

Xu Huwei's defense was becoming increasingly strained, something Jiang Xuan could clearly sense. After a brief consideration, he decided to increase the pressure on his offense.

Jiang Xuan continued to attack with the silver spear in his hand, but he exerted force with his feet, driving the force with his waist, and his body became more flexible.

In this way, although Jiang Xuan's attack method has not changed much, the attack direction has become more diverse and more difficult to predict.

Guard Xu's defensive pressure suddenly doubled, but he had deliberately suppressed his strength to around the intermediate level at this moment. In this situation, it was difficult for him to easily win by relying on his brute force, so he had to find other ways.

Although Guard Xu's mastery of the spear has reached the heavenly level, the spear techniques he mastered are still lacking compared to those of warriors who are accustomed to using spears. He had no choice but to use some basic techniques for attack and defense.

"Hehe." Just when he was at a loss, Guard Xu seemed to have thought of something. He looked extremely excited, exerted force with his arms, and swept the dark spear towards Jiang Xuan.

Seeing that Guard Xu's attack was sudden and powerful, Jiang Xuan did not dare to be careless. He slightly moved out of the way and blocked it at the same time.

Seeing Jiang Xuan blocking, Guard Xu raised his lips and instantly withdrew a step, sweeping the dark spear horizontally. "Horizontal slash!" Guard Xu shouted.

Jiang Xuan heard this and observed Guard Xu's move again. Although it was a sweeping long spear, it also had the effect of a short sword slash. It seemed that Guard Xu had also incorporated short sword techniques into his long spear moves.

The two of them had already turned their sparring into a practice of weapon techniques, which Jiang Xuan found very interesting. In this mood, Jiang Xuan not only did not underestimate the enemy, but instead felt a sense of déjà vu secretly welling up in his heart.

The feeling of déjà vu in Jiang Xuan's heart had appeared frequently before he entered the Heavenly Realm, and this feeling at this moment was even stronger than before.

"My understanding of weapon techniques has actually risen to the level of understanding martial arts. This feeling is truly amazing." Jiang Xuan sighed in his heart.

Guard Xu's horizontal slash was extremely fast, and it slashed towards Jiang Xuan with the sound of wind.

The spear was heavier than the dagger, and its length made it more difficult to balance it. However, at this moment, Guard Xu used the dark spear to feel like a dagger.

The horizontal slashing speed of the dark spear in Guard Xu's hand was significantly faster than that of an ordinary mid-level warrior, and was even comparable to that of many peak warriors. Moreover, Guard Xu's attack was made while deliberately suppressing his strength.

"Guardian Xu has suppressed his strength to the intermediate level, but his slashing speed is still amazing. This amazing slashing speed can be attributed to Guardian Xu's skill in using weapons." Jiang Xuan observed Guardian Xu's slashing movements.

"Although the horizontal slash has advantages in range and speed, its ability to break through defense is not outstanding." Jiang Xuan held the spear with both hands, moved his feet sideways a few inches, and lowered his body center of gravity slightly to block Xu Huwei's horizontal slash.

"Bore!"

With a crisp sound, the dark spear in Guard Xu's hand slammed heavily onto the silver spear.

Jiang Xuan staggered slightly, but almost at the same time he staggered, he used his body skills to steady his feet and stood still.

Guard Xu also raised his dark spear and looked at Jiang Xuan who was not far away. However, as Guard Xu looked at Jiang Xuan, his expression changed slightly.

As Jiang Xuan stood still, he did not wait, but took advantage of the remaining trace of energy on the silver spear and swept the spear horizontally.

Jiang Xuan's attack was surprisingly similar to the horizontal slash that Xu Huwei had just used, and the speed was also quite fast, but the difference from Xu Huwei's horizontal slash was that Jiang Xuan's attack had an obvious rotation.

Guard Xu blocked with his spear, but when the silver spear came into contact with the dark spear in Guard Xu's hand, it deflected significantly, avoiding Guard Xu's block and sweeping out again.

The deflection of the silver spear was somewhat beyond Xu Huwei's expectations. He pulled the spear to block again, then stepped forward and retreated a certain distance while blocking.

"Not bad." Guard Xu, who was standing still, couldn't help but admire.

"Thank you. I'm going to try some new moves next. Please give me some advice." Jiang Xuan put the spear on his shoulder, raised the corner of his mouth, and said calmly.
