Melee mage

Three days later.

Short body dodging is a common technique to restrain swinging. When the enemy attacks, quickly squat down and take advantage of the situation to counterattack, attacking their crotch and abdomen. Don't be afraid of swinging, those who often swing when they come up are brainless and impulsive people

On the martial arts field, the head of the school's boxing and kicking instructors demonstrated their movements while speaking.

A wooden puppet swept over with his right fist, and Xi Meng crouched down to dodge the attack. Then he punched the puppet in the abdomen, banging it a few times before knocking it down.

The students gathered in a circle to watch, but most of them couldn't muster their energy and appeared uninterested.

In school, various courses are taught, and this section is the foundation of teaching. Using fists and kicks to exert strength is much inferior to the handsome and cool Moon Blade attack, and the teenagers are almost absent-minded.

The next class is the assessment of the use of Moonlight Gu. How have you been practicing lately

Is it okay? Three Moon Blades can be fired, but it's rare to hit all of them. Usually, two of them can be hit on the scarecrow puppet

Well, it's similar to me. These days, I bought a scarecrow puppet specifically to practice this

...

The teenagers were whispering to each other, their minds no longer focused on the assessment for the next class.

For this assessment, they have been practicing hard outside of class for a long time, and now they are all working hard and looking forward to the assessment.

The voices of the students' discussions reached the ears of the instructor, who suddenly turned around and shouted loudly, "No talking in class, everyone shut up and watch carefully

He is a second time Gu master, with well-developed muscles and a strong upper body. His bronze skin is covered in scars. With a loud shout, he exuded a majestic aura and immediately subdued all the young people in the field.

There was silence in the martial arts arena.

Basic martial arts are of utmost importance, especially in the early stages of a mage's cultivation. They are more important than anything else. Please focus your attention on them all

After scolding him, the boxing coach summoned another wooden puppet.

This pale yellow wooden puppet is two meters tall, with wooden feet stepping on the bluestone floor tiles, making a crisp and shiny sound. It opened its arms and clumsily charged towards the head teacher.

The head teacher flashed its attack, then suddenly hugged his waist, pushed forward forcefully, and pushed the tall wooden puppet to the ground. Immediately afterwards, he rode on the waist of the wooden puppet and swung his fist to quickly strike the wooden head.

The wooden puppet resisted for a moment, then its head was smashed by the rain like fist of the head teacher, and it was paralyzed on the ground, motionless.

The boxing instructor stood up, his breath still calm and lingering, and explained to the students, "Don't be afraid when facing tall enemies in close combat. Breaking the opponent's center of gravity is a wise tactic for defeating enemies, just like what I just did. Embrace the enemy's waist, control their hip bones, and then push forward forcefully. Then ride on the opponent and give them a fierce punch. Anyone without defensive intentions will instantly collapse

The students nodded repeatedly, but most of their eyes showed a look of disapproval.

The head teacher saw everything with a bitter smile in his heart.

In the past, it was always like this, young people's hearts were naturally easily attracted by dazzling and gorgeous things. Without firsthand experience and knowledge, young people find it difficult to understand the importance of basic martial arts.

In fact, especially for early stage Gu masters, although basic punches and kicks may seem inconspicuous, they are more important than Moon Blade attacks.

Remember, in close combat, don't just stare at the enemy's eyes, but pay attention to their shoulders. Whether the enemy punches or kicks, their shoulders will move first

In close combat, speed is very important. The speed here is not the speed of the hand, but the speed of the foot movement

Distance is the best defense

... legs need to maintain elasticity so that they can more easily burst out of strength

When moving the punch, you need to maintain triangular support. Otherwise, if your lower body loses control and the enemy is not knocked down, you will fall instead

The boxing coach demonstrated while patiently explaining. These are valuable experiences he has accumulated through his long-term battles, using blood and tears.

Unfortunately, the students outside the venue did not realize this.

They gradually whispered to each other again, and the focus of discussion remained the monthly blade assessment for the next class.

This martial arts instructor is very practical, but there are problems with the teaching method, "Fang Yuan watched quietly in the crowd, nodding and shaking his head.

This leader teaches without any organization, purely out of interest, teaching wherever he wants. Therefore, the things taught were chaotic, numerous, and complex. Many students initially listened attentively, but gradually lost interest and shifted their attention to other aspects.

Only Fang Yuan has been listening attentively, while others are studying, he is reviewing. His combat experience is much richer than that of a martial arts instructor, but listening to others' stories is also a validation of his spiritual practice.

The combat methods of Gu masters are usually divided into close combat and ranged combat.

Moon Blade attack is a long-range type, but strictly speaking, it can only be considered as medium to long-range. Because its effective attack range is only ten meters.

As a melee mage, this boxing and kicking coach is the best example. They usually choose to increase their own bugs and insects for cultivation. These insects bring them extraordinary strength, agility, responsiveness, endurance, and so on.

Just like this boxing coach, his skin is all bronze colored. This is certainly not his natural skin color, but the effect of a copper skin charm.

Copper skin gu will greatly increase the skin defense of the gu master, allowing them to withstand more damage.

One Moon Blade costs one True Yuan. How many times can a Gu master fire in battle? Very few times, especially for beginners, can effectively strike. It can only be used as a trump card, with deterrence greater than killing power. For a Gu master, what is truly useful is his martial arts skills. Because martial arts attacks are more durable and reliable. Unfortunately, they do not have firsthand experience of these truths now and do not know them

Fang Yuan glanced lightly at his peers around him, and couldn't help but sneer at the corners of his mouth.

The basic boxing and kicking course has finally come to an end. After taking a short break, in the hopeful gaze of the young people, the old master of the school arrived late.

He waved his hand and pointed to a row of scarecrow puppets under the bamboo wall, getting straight to the point: "Alright, today is the day to check the results. Five of you, come up in groups and use the Moon Blade to attack three times

Brush brush brush brush.

The first group of students walked up, and the moon blade danced in the air.

After three rounds, only Nine Moon Blades hit the scarecrow puppet.

The old scholar shook his head slightly, feeling somewhat dissatisfied. This hit rate is too low, the key is that two out of five people only successfully fired two lunar blades.

You guys need to practice hard next, especially you, and you, "the old man scolded slightly and waved his hand," Next group

The two reprimanded individuals walked off dejectedly. One of the girls had red eyes and felt a bit aggrieved.

I only have a Class C qualification and I am reluctant to use Yuan stones to quickly restore my true essence. Therefore, I have practiced very little in these three days, which has led to my lack of proficiency in using the Moon Blade to stimulate my hair.

Gu masters spend money refining Gu, raising Gu requires money, and practicing using Gu insects also requires money. But where did she get so much money?

Although there are parents supporting us from behind, every family has a difficult lesson to recite. Financial difficulties are a common dilemma faced by sorcerers.

Anyway, there's no hope for me to compete for the first place. It's better to give up and save the Yuan Shi, isn't it? "Thinking of this, the girl felt calm again.

There are many people who share the same thoughts as girls.

Due to the lack of practice, many students performed poorly.

The old scholar's brow furrowed deeper and deeper.

Fang Yuan saw this and shook his head in his heart. "These people are really unfortunate and sad. They gave up the opportunity to make progress for a few yuan stones. Yuan stones are for use, like a miser saving yuan stones. Why become a sorcerer

In other words, people who are narrow-minded often tend to be stingy and prioritize their own interests over their own. And those who have lofty aspirations usually show a tolerant and generous attitude, willing to give up or give up.

Finally, it's my turn. "At this moment, Gu Yue's horse from the northern desert walked onto the field with a confident smile on its face.

He has a robust physique, exuding a fierce aura. After standing still, raise your hand and make three moon blades, hitting all three. Two of them hit the puppet's chest, and one was imprinted on the puppet's left arm, cutting off several green grass shavings.

Such achievements naturally aroused a wave of admiration from the young people.

Well done, "the old man's brow relaxed slightly.

Another group came up, including Gu Yue Chi Cheng.

Gu Yue Chicheng is short in stature, with a face full of pockmarks and a slightly nervous expression.

He urged three moon blades in succession, all hitting the puppet's chest, cutting out three intersecting scars. The scar changed from deep to shallow, and after a few breaths, it was restored to its original appearance due to the self-healing of the scarecrow puppet.

However, this performance is on par with Gu Yue's performance in the north, and has also received praise from the elders.

Chicheng walked off with his head held high, and provocatively glanced at Mobei on the way.

Hmph! "Off the field, Gu Yue coldly snorted, but did not glare back at Chicheng. Instead, she looked at Gu Yue Fangzheng, who had not yet taken the stage.

He knew in his heart that the only real threats were Gu Yue Chicheng and Gu Yue Fangzheng.

The former, like him, has second-class qualifications and a continuous supply of elemental stones. The latter is a first-class qualification, although Yuan Shi may not be as abundant as them, relying on the true Yuan recovery speed brought by their own qualifications, they can also practice a lot in a short period of time.

Now the results of Gu Yue Chicheng have been released, on par with him in the north, leaving only Gu Yue Fangzheng.

In the last few groups, Gu Yuezheng finally came on stage.
