It's so painful! So hard! So difficult!

Chapter 272 The beautiful girl enters the battle song

Bai Lin sighed helplessly. Katie's behavior was the height of amateurism. Although Bai Lin could understand her being so amateurish, it was somewhat problematic that Yue Lingluo also made such a low-level mistake.

"In combat, physical fitness is the most important factor. But as I told you before, that short combat training was to cultivate your combat awareness. How to actually attack and defend depends entirely on you and what you've learned."

"And you're practicing actual combat without any foundation? Wouldn't that mean you'll be unilaterally beaten by Yue Lingluo?"

While Katie likely possesses a certain talent for close combat, as evidenced by her combo against Moria last time, her skills are somewhat impressive. However, if her attacking form isn't even standard, the already weak attack will be significantly diminished. Therefore, without training in basic stances and other areas, Katie will always be on the receiving end of blows.

"It's not that I don't want to teach you, but if your physical abilities can't keep up, Katie won't be able to learn many of the sword techniques I use."

Yue Lingluo realized that Bai Lin's words seemed to imply that she didn't understand, so she refuted him repeatedly.

Bai Lin seemed to realize that her expression was a bit too straightforward. To ease the embarrassment, she coughed twice and then asked,

"Katie, that thing about using magic to strengthen yourself, you still can't do it?"

Katie nodded somewhat sadly, looking away, and said with a look of disappointment,

"Everyone else can do it, but I absolutely can't. But I should be able to figure out the reason within this period of time."

"Is that so..." Bai Lin pondered for a moment. This was indeed a big question. Based on her own judgment, the difference in physical fitness between those with and without the added bonus of magic power was simply too great. The one-punch knockout between Fei'er and Grayer had clearly revealed an unbridgeable chasm.

Seeing Bai Lin was silent, Yue Lingluo added, "So before Katie can figure out the reason, we should first cultivate her combat awareness. That way, she might be able to pass the exam."

"Exam?" Bai Lin heard this topic, as if she had heard something mysterious, and she immediately asked very seriously.

"What exactly does the exam consist of?"

Yue Lingluo didn't know why Bai Lin was suddenly so interested in this topic. She blinked in confusion and answered truthfully,

"During actual combat training with the instructor, you're only allowed to use cold weapons or bare hands, no magic. The specific score is determined by the instructor himself. According to rumors from the students, it's probably calculated based on how long you can hold your ground..."

Bai Lin was so excited that she smashed her fist against her open palm. She felt her eyes suddenly become clear and her goal became clear.

"It's the same old thing, Katie. Today's topic is long vs. short and gun training, so let's start as soon as possible." Bai Lin kept chasing after him, then pulled Katie straight to the weapons rack.

Katie glanced at Bai Lin, then silently drew out a weapon similar to the one she had used in the previous battle with Moria. She said,

"Even though I've done physical training, I can only manage to use a weapon this length properly. Anything longer still won't work."

Bai Lin didn't seem to care too much about this. She explained, "This length is sufficient. A long-weapon fight would be a stalemate. I'm sure the instructor won't choose a long weapon... that would be a bit like bullying the students with shorter weapons."

"By the way, Yue Lingluo, do you know how to use a spear?" Bai Lin asked Yue Lingluo at this time.

If she could, it would actually be a good thing. After all, Bai Lin would not always be by her side. It would definitely be more than enough for Yue Lingluo to guide her in basic exercises.

Yue Lingluo replied loudly, "Yes, I know quite a few weapons."

Bai Lin nodded with satisfaction. "That's perfect. You two should come and learn some first. Although I don't know a lot, there are some techniques that will definitely be useful in actual combat. You will definitely need them."

Anyway, today's training was for both of them. Yue Lingluo, hearing that Bai Lin was also going to teach her, seemed eager to try and excitedly pulled Katie into the dressing room. Bai Lin, on the other hand, conscientiously changed into a tight-fitting outfit outside, waiting for the two to return.

After a while, two girls stepped out. First came Yue Lingluo. Her sportswear was mainly white, with light blue patterns on the edges, which matched her fair complexion perfectly.

Of course, this dress was also completely tight-fitting, but just like her childish and adorable face, Yue Lingluo's figure was also very realistic—flat. Her usually meticulously groomed pink hair was now tied into a single ponytail, falling to her waist, giving her the appearance of an innocent schoolgirl.

For some reason, her clothes weren't shorts, but a combat skirt, and her shoes were primarily white. Logically, combat clothing should be easy to wash and convenient, but if you think about it, a young lady probably doesn't have to do her own laundry, Bai Lin thought.

All in all, while this outfit made her look younger, it didn't diminish her aristocratic aura. Yue Lingluo, stretching her body freely, carefully tightened her gloves, nodding with satisfaction and a hint of excitement on her face.

Katie Pello followed closely behind. Her outfit was completely different from Yue Lingluo's, using a black style similar to Bai Lin's, except that her top was not a vest, but a short shirt.

The completely tight style reveals Katie's pretty good figure. Although not as outrageous as Fei'er, if compared with people of the same age, she should also be quite competitive... Bai Lin cut off his slightly deviant thoughts and continued to observe and analyze.

Her short golden hair draped freely over her shoulders, framing her beautiful face and, together with her dark eyes, creating a rather sweet and well-behaved look. Even though Bai Lin knew too well that Katie Pello had many evil intentions, he still felt for a moment that she was indeed a sweet and well-behaved girl next door.

She possesses a certain degree of endearment, yet doesn't stand out from the crowd. She is a lovable tulip, quietly exuding a rich fragrance amidst a sea of ​​flowers. Sunlight illuminates her warmth, while rain accentuates her presence. And the calm determination in her not-so-young eyes reveals a side that even storms cannot thwart.

Katie's clear eyes met Bai Lin's, and she smiled back at her.

Chapter 273 Focus on Teaching

While her smile was indeed beautiful, Bai Lin had always been drawn to older-sister types, so she was actually... well, a little tempted. Shorts and ankle boots perfectly showcased Katie's impressive figure. She stood there quietly, looking incredibly obedient and sensible, though perhaps even younger and cuter.

Bai Lin turned around and casually pulled out a spear from the shelf. He carried the two of them on his back like a teacher and greeted them seriously,

"Come here quickly."

To be honest, looking at more beautiful girls is quite pleasing to the eyes, but if you can't get any of them, then the more you look, the sadder it will be. Bai Lin's situation, if you put aside the fact that he kept dying and that he had a girlfriend when he reincarnated, is simply a perfect journey.

Too bad she had both.

Jun had promised Bai Lin that she wouldn't be angry if she married Katie as well. But Bai Lin was still struggling with the matter. Or rather, she wasn't even sure what she felt for Katie, or perhaps she didn't want to think about it.

Now is not the time to think about these things.

As soon as Yue Lingluo reached Bai Lin's side, she grabbed him out of thin air. A flash of shadows flashed before Bai Lin's eyes at a speed she couldn't even perceive, causing her to break out of her thoughts and be shocked.

A phantom flashed by and gradually condensed into a silver-white spear. Although it looked to be made of pure metal, both the feeling it gave people and Bai Lin's divinity suggested that it was not that simple.

Fine lines of pale blue traced a three-dimensional pattern across the silver-white spear's shaft, creating sharp scales like icy ridges. The icy sensation made Bai Lin afraid to gaze at the spear for too long. Even she, who was forging with the blazing iron technique, felt a chill. In other words...

The icy power contained in this gun seems to be even purer than that of Claire's puppet - the Ice Witch.

Below the spear tip, a faint ring slowly encircled, and surrounding it were two exaggerated rays of holy light, resembling wings. Although Bai Lin didn't find it particularly special from a sacred perspective, this light gave people a sense of justice that illuminated all things and existed as a support and reliance for the world.

The corners of Bai Lin's mouth twitched slightly. Perhaps because she had been fighting for so long, she couldn't help but stare at the gun with a bit of obsession. After realizing that her gaze had been fixed on something in particular for too long, she raised her head.

Her face was calm and she asked Yue Lingluo in a very nonchalant and gentle tone,

"What are you doing with such a powerful gun?"

Unlike the turbulent look in his eyes before, the calm tone now made Katie and Yue Lingluo feel a little strange. What is this, Sage Mode? Yue Lingluo scratched her cheek naturally, and said to Bai Lin with an innocent look,

"Hey, is it amazing? This was given to me by my dad. I heard he used it when he was young."

"Fuck." Bai Lin cursed in his heart, what kind of Versailles is this?

"It's very strong, what are you practicing with this?"

Yue Lingluo hesitated for a moment, glanced at Katie Pello, then turned her gaze back to Bai Lin and said,

"But, when I was sparring with Katie, I seemed to be using a more powerful sword..."

"... "

Bai Lin fell silent. Yue Lingluo's tricks were so advanced that she couldn't help but fall into deep thought. Not only did he not teach Katie the basics of martial arts, but he also used such a powerful weapon. Are you really just bullying her?

At this point, she was a little confused about whether Yue Lingluo was truly ignorant or just wanted to get back at Katie for dragging her along to study every day. Never mind, it had nothing to do with her. As long as Katie didn't see any injuries, everything would be fine.

Seeing that Bai Lin was silent for a long time, Yue Lingluo asked again, "Teacher Bai Lin, I have other guns at home. Do you want me to go..."

"No, no, this one will do. Maybe you're not used to the wooden spear, so you can use something more convenient. After all, even though it's a weighted wooden spear, it's still a bit light for a magician. You won't be able to use the necessary force, and you won't learn anything from it."

Bai Lin waved her hands repeatedly, rejecting Yue Lingluo's swift, threatening inquiries. She feared she'd pull out something even more powerful and blow up the entire area. However, her second half of the speech about martial arts came from the heart. Bai Lin herself felt like she was holding chopsticks while holding the wooden spear. While Yue Lingluo wouldn't be quite so outrageous, she probably wouldn't be far behind.

"Well, first of all, it's just a simple stab and stab..."

Soon after the teaching began, Yue Lingluo felt bored and sat down to rest with her gun horizontally. After all, Bai Lin was the real deal, teaching step by step from the basics, including the attack posture, the ending movement, the force point, and the basic stance.

"Relax a little here..."

Bai Lin placed his right hand on the inside of Katie's upper arm, pressing it down slightly, and his right foot kicked Katie's heel a little further away.

Katie was panting with fatigue, sweat dripping from her forehead, and her body seemed to be trembling under Bai Lin's force. The two of them were almost pressed together, and their warm body temperature rubbed against Bai Lin's body, and the special situation seemed to itch her heart.

If you think about it from another perspective, Bai Lin, caressing the blushing, panting girl, wasn't doing anything good, and she felt bad about it. But this was about teaching, and as a teacher, Bai Lin could be 100% unwavering, whether it was games or anything else. She had always been like this.

Although she had no fondness for her cultural teacher, her dance and other extracurricular teachers had left a certain impression of respectability on her since she was little, which also cultivated Bai Lin's excellent mentality. After all, there were many cases where male teachers helped female students adjust their postures, and she couldn't just avoid it.

Bai Lin nodded in satisfaction, then loosened her support and stood up, only to find that Katie had lost her balance and nearly fell to the ground. She quickly hugged Katie's sideways body and picked her up, not caring at all that sweat was getting all over her body.

Their eyes met for a while. Looking at Katie's blushing face and messy hair, and the soft touch of her body, Bai Lin immediately realized something. He quickly picked her up and then let go.

"Are you okay?" Bai Lin blushed and turned her gaze away. Perhaps in addition to the shyness of the situation, she was also a little ashamed that her heart was moved.

"Yeah, I just didn't stand firmly on my feet."

Chapter 274 Practical Teaching

Although Katie looked a little tired, her expression was still very natural. Seeing Bai Lin like this, she even felt a little happy. She just stared at Bai Lin, expecting her to have some interesting reaction.

However, Bai Lin's mistake in this regard was only a moment. She turned back, coughed twice, and said seriously, holding her chin.

"The practice time is a bit long, you should go and rest for a while."

"Tsk, boring." Katie thought, not surprised but somewhat disappointed, but her steps remained relaxed and she sat down happily on the sofa beside her. Fei'er, sitting nearby, pushed her drink in at the right moment, and Katie quickly thanked her.

Bai Lin was a little confused about the strange relationship between the two of them. Logically speaking, they shouldn't have any intersection. At this moment, Yue Lingluo, who was sitting on the other side, shouted with a little dissatisfaction,

"Teacher, can you teach me something more advanced? Learning like this is so boring."

Bai Lin sighed helplessly. She glanced at Yue Lingluo, hooked her finger and said,

"come here."

Although Yue Lingluo was a little confused, she still jumped up from the ground and walked to Bai Lin's side.

"As a teacher, I've always taught students in accordance with their aptitude. What I teach Katie is naturally different from what I teach you."

Bai Lin spoke with righteous righteousness, looking like a seasoned teacher with fresh thinking. Her eyes shone with a majestic presence, yet her appearance also gave her a gentle air. If someone were to learn martial arts, this kind of person would be a perfect match.

Without a doubt, Yue Lingluo's eyes immediately sparkled with excitement. She approached Bai Lin curiously and asked, "Oh! What are you going to teach me?"

The pretty teacher narrowed her eyes and smiled with her head tilted. Although the smile was quite strange, Yue Lingluo seemed to be unaware of it until Bai Lin said two words in a cold tone,

"Actual combat."

In reality, actual combat is indeed a suitable teaching method. Bai Lin had no idea what kind of skills Yue Lingluo possessed. Her spearmanship, beyond her studies, was simply a random evolution of a form, with very little in the way of fancy. Therefore, Yue Lingluo might not learn anything at all from a spearmanship perspective.

What students like them lack most is practical experience. Even when Bai Lin was explaining some practical techniques to Katie, Yue Lingluo didn't even bother to listen. Either she was too experienced to listen, or she was too proud to listen.

If one were to be so experienced, then Yue Lingluo's previous words to Bai Lin could be considered a provocation. So, what about accepting the provocation and giving it a try?

The moment Yue Lingluo woke up from her trance, she could no longer see Bai Lin's figure. She panicked and clenched the gun in her hand, pointing the tip slightly upwards, and quickly looked around. At the same time, the male knight in the distance also exclaimed,

"Overhead!"

But it was too late. Seeing Yue Lingluo show no sign of reacting, Bai Lin shifted his spear tip from a stab to a smack, reducing the force of his hand. The spear shaft struck Yue Lingluo firmly on the cheek. She felt a tingling sensation spread from the site of the blow throughout her body, and she instantly fell sideways.

Bai Lin very considerately grabbed her hand to prevent her from falling too hard. At the same time, the male knight also ran over. He looked at Yue Lingluo, who had already released her weapon, covered her red cheeks with her hands, and lay on the ground with a somewhat painful expression. Then he immediately glared at Bai Lin and said in a slightly fierce tone,

"what are you doing?"

"I'm teaching," Bai Lin explained calmly. "For nobles like you, I don't think you'll need me if you want to learn technical skills. But when it comes to actual combat, I can guarantee to provide ample help."

Could Bai Lin be said to have extensive combat experience? Not really, but her extensive martial arts training allowed her to miss every detail that could become a problem. Every day, Bai Lin digested it all, even in her sleep, still comprehending each battle.

It doesn't have to be something you've personally experienced; even if you've only seen something, you can still analyze it. Ultimately, you'll accumulate more combat experience and gradually develop the moves into your own martial arts.

"You...but a sneak attack is too much. You are a knight!"

The male knight seemed to realize that his eldest daughter was quite pampered. His tone softened slightly, and he changed the topic in another direction and attacked Bai Lin.

"I'm fine, no need to be so angry. Sister Bai Lin actually just reminded me that the actual combat has begun. In a real battle, this also doesn't exist."

Yue Lingluo seemed to have regained her composure. She picked up her weapon, slowly stood up, and signaled her knights to retreat. Although her swollen face looked somewhat comical, her spear slowly emanated a dangerous aura.

A cold feeling spread across the ground. Bai Lin felt his joints starting to get cold as well, and he couldn't help but realize that the little girl was about to take action.

After rubbing the sole of his shoe against the ground for a bit, Bai Lin realized that he needed to step more firmly on the ground. Otherwise, his center of gravity might be at a disadvantage.

"So, are you still willing to learn?"

Bai Lin still maintained that calm attitude, which might have seemed a bit provocative in this environment.

Yue Lingluo smiled slightly, a hint of seriousness flashed in her eyes.

"of course."

What was clear was that Yue Lingluo wasn't angry. Clearly, she wasn't an ignorant child; she had some maturity. It was likely that, besides genuinely wanting to learn something, she also wanted to challenge Bai Lin, a formidable foe. After all, she looked quite happy.

Bai Lin nodded with satisfaction, waved his hand and said, "Katie, treatment--"

Then, she turned around, completely exposing her backside, seemingly a gesture of humility in response to the sudden attack. Katie's chanting was like a countdown to the battle. Not only on her side, but also around Yue Lingluo, the magic power gradually settled, becoming increasingly domineering, ready to strike at any moment.

Chapter 275 The First Two Lessons

Finally, the healing light moved, and so did Yue Lingluo. She stamped on the ground, and a vast mass of icy powder instantly gathered into icy flowers. Powdery blossoms sprouted from the ground, and the entire spear was instantly covered in ice. Light shimmered from the tip of Yue Lingluo's spear, rendering the entire shaft translucent and crystal clear.

The ground where her spear pointed began to crack. Though this was her own court, she didn't care, allowing the ice to completely cover the entire surface. The cold air took on sharp edges, piercing everything within. And the shimmering light, reflected in the ice crystals, was the crystallization of the magic within.

It maintained the spear's power, while the spear itself reflected its light, making it even more powerful. Everyone present had no doubt what the spear would look like when wielded. Forget about anything else, Bai Lin, who wasn't even wearing armor, was likely in for a disaster.

Just as she stepped forward, easily caught up with the slowly pacing Bai Lin, and was about to launch her own attack, Bai Lin's figure disappeared again.
