Nine-layer armor-breaking

Chapter 74 Take the initiative
"Mr. Jiang, there are only two rounds. Although the sparring should stop at a certain point, we must attack and defend with all our strength in these two rounds!" Guard Xu said to Jiang Xuan with a serious face, holding a spear in his hand.

Guard Xu's words seemed to remind Jiang Xuan of something. He showed a slightly awkward smile on his face and nodded to Guard Xu.

Jiang Xuan understood Xu Huwei's feelings at the moment very well. Just from the perspective of the Strengthening Muscle Powder, he believed that Xu Huwei's desire for this bottle of Strengthening Muscle Powder was no less than his own.

But Jiang Xuan had already made up his mind about the bottle of muscle strengthening powder and he must do his utmost to get it.

In other words, except for the Suiyuan Spear Technique, if you can successfully defend against Xu Huwei's first attack, when it comes to the most critical second attack, all other moves except the Suiyuan Spear Technique can be considered for use.

However, Jiang Xuan thought about it and realized that he had already used almost all the moves he could use, especially those that could threaten a peak warrior. Now, in his arsenal of moves, the only one that could possibly threaten a peak warrior like Xu Huwei was probably only one move.

"That move might be of some use, but I haven't even mastered it yet. For the sake of strengthening my muscles, I can only give it a try." Jiang Xuan frowned unconsciously as he thought about it, and tightened his grip on the spear.

It was not the first time that Jiang Xuan had used new moves in actual combat. With some previous experience as a basis, he quickly made a plan for the two rounds: test it in the first round and implement it in the second round.

In reality, even though Jiang Xuan possessed impressive combat prowess among his peers, capable of rivaling high-level warriors and even holding his own against near-peak warriors, when faced with a true peak warrior like Xu Huwei, victory was nearly impossible due to the vast disparity in strength.

However, although both are battles, there is an essential difference between sparring and encounter battles, and that is that sparring should be done to a certain extent.

The point of stopping at a certain point in the competition was exactly what Jiang Xuan wanted to take advantage of. It was also the idea of ​​taking advantage of this point that made Jiang Xuan feel that even if he won the Strengthening Muscle Powder, it was still an "unfair victory".

In Jiang Xuan's opinion, Guard Xu had said something right. He also felt that Xu An was vaguely biased towards him regarding the Strengthening Muscle Powder.

Firstly, Xu An had limited this sparring match to two rounds. If Jiang Xuan could withstand Xu Huwei's two rounds of attack, it would be considered a success. Although Jiang Xuan and Xu Huwei were mid-level warriors and peak warriors respectively, the difference in strength was indeed significant, but withstanding two rounds of attack was considered a success.

Furthermore, if limiting the bout to two rounds is a more reasonable arrangement for a fight between two warriors with different strengths, then Xu An's insistence on having Guard Xu use a weapon that he is not used to makes it hard not to wonder whether he has other considerations.

Jiang Xuan waved the silver spear in his hand, stepped on the ground, and moved quickly towards Guard Xu.

"Attack first?" Guard Xu showed a little surprise on his face. He tightened the dark spear in his hand, ready to meet Jiang Xuan's attack.

Jiang Xuan took a few quick steps, tapped his foot, and briefly soared into the air, switching from holding the spear in one hand to holding it in two. Then, Jiang Xuan rubbed his palms against the shaft of the silver spear, causing it to spin violently around the shaft.

The silver spear's rotation speed did not slow down due to the pause in the palms' force, but gradually emitted an increasingly intense sound of breaking through the air due to the violent rotation.

The sound of breaking through the air was like a flute at first, and gradually became more and more shrill, like the sound of violent metal friction, and then like the hum of a bee.

As a peak warrior, Guard Xu was extremely sensitive to changes in his surroundings, especially during combat. As Jiang Xuan's silver spear spun violently, Guard Xu could clearly sense that the direction of the surrounding air flow had been significantly affected.

"What a terrifying rotation speed!" Facing the violent rotation of the silver spear in Jiang Xuan's hand and listening to the whistling sound caused by the violent rotation of the spear, Guard Xu couldn't help but sigh.

The silver spear was spinning at high speed, temporarily escaping Jiang Xuan's hands. The next moment, Jiang Xuan grasped the spear, turned around, and thrust the spear forward with even more force.

From Guard Xu's perspective, the silver spear shot towards him like a silver beam. "Were you so distracted by the spear's rotation that you overlooked its velocity?" Guard Xu frowned slightly, knowing that Jiang Xuan's attack was impossible to avoid. He pulled the dark spear in his hand, ready to defend himself.

"Go!" Jiang Xuan shouted loudly, and hit the silver spear that was shooting towards Guard Xu with all his strength. The speed of the silver beam increased a bit.

Maybe it was because the silver spear was getting closer to Guard Xu, but Guard Xu felt that the sound of the silver spear breaking through the air was much smaller. If it weren't for the impressive sound just now, it would have been difficult for him to distinguish the existence of the sound of the silver spear breaking through the air.

"Huh..."

The silver spear hit the dark spear that Guard Xu was using to block, and immediately, driven by the rotation, it slid across the dark spear and deviated from its direction.

With the experience of the first two rounds of competition, Guard Xu had already judged that Jiang Xuan's attack would be severely deflected, so he mobilized his spear and continued to resist the subsequent attacks of the silver spear.

However, what surprised Guard Xu was that Jiang Xuan's attack was not only extremely spinning and fast, but its aftereffects also far exceeded his expectations.

While Jiang Xuan continued to resist the silver spear's attack, the dark spear gradually began to approach Guard Xu's body. This meant that Jiang Xuan's attack had a certain suppressive effect on Guard Xu, who was simply defending!

Realizing that simple defense was not a solution, Guard Xu intended to end the first round early and disengage from the battle.

However, Guard Xu found that the silver spear was still entangled with him and it was difficult to escape from the battle for a while, so he had to wait for a while.

"Bore!"

Finally, when the silver spear pressed the dark spear to the point where it almost touched Guard Xu, the momentum of the attack weakened significantly. Guard Xu saw the opportunity and quickly exerted force with both hands holding the spear, creating a certain distance between him and Jiang Xuan.

After a slight adjustment, Guard Xu stopped not far away, looked at Jiang Xuan with a complicated expression on his face, and changed the way he held the dark spear.

At this moment, the dark spear in Guard Xu's hand was like a long sword.

Guard Xu didn't speak, and Jiang Xuan didn't speak either.

At this moment, the two men understood that the next round would determine who would get the bottle of Strengthening Muscle Powder. They had to use all their strength, and there was no point in saying anything else.

The complex expression on Guard Xu's face became a little more indifferent, and he nodded at Jiang Xuan who was not far away.

Jiang Xuan's hands, which were slightly shaking due to the excessive force he had just exerted, tightly grasped the silver spear and nodded to the guard Xu opposite him.

With a step of his foot, Jiang Xuan rushed out again.
