Chapter 16 Stepping

The two were yelling and screaming as if they were about to engage in an earth-shattering, world-ending battle. But so far, it looked like they were just showing off some fancy moves. Although battles in online games weren't as terrifying as seeing flesh and blood flying everywhere, injuries would generally cause blood to be drawn. This was to give players a more direct visual response to the damage they sustained.

So, in any PK, blood would be drawn after a few rounds, whether it was blood spurting from oneself or blood splashing from the enemy. Gu Fei and Bai Shi Jing Lun were exchanging blows, but since people couldn't see any blood, they couldn't tell who was winning or losing. This made the fight seem very low-grade.

This was mainly what the average players thought. Most of the people in the Bai Zhan Mercenary Group could understand a bit of the spirit of the fight between the two. But at this time, the spectators were not just the two sides. Some other idle people passing by discovered that Bai Shi Jing Lun was dueling with someone here, and they immediately spread the news throughout Sunset City.

In Sunset City, even a random lackey of Bai Shi Jing Lun could take on one, two, or three people at once. Bai Shi Jing Lun taking action was like a little fun diversion in life. Don't misunderstand him as being serious. But at this moment, Bai Shi Jing Lun was fighting so seriously and earnestly, something that hadn't happened in a long time since he established his position and image in Sunset City.

One person told ten, and ten told a hundred. When many people rushed over upon hearing the news, Gu Fei and Bai Shi Jing Lun were in the middle of a lively fight.

But the current situation greatly disappointed the players who had come all the way to watch. In their eyes, Bai Shi Jing Lun was now in a completely dominant position, and his opponent had no power to fight back.

What everyone was hoping for was a heart-stirring scene of Bai Shi Jing Lun getting beaten up. But when they arrived, they saw him waving his fists and feet with high spirits again. The crowd wanted to cheer for Gu Fei, but they were afraid of the Bai Zhan Mercenary Group's fists greeting them.

In fact, to be honest, the Bai Zhan Mercenary Group wasn't that overbearing in Sunset City, but they also weren't humble and cautious. With their strength, they really didn't need to take anyone seriously, and that's exactly what they did. As a result, of course, no one would have a good impression of them.

In addition, in terms of mercenary business, the Bai Zhan Mercenary Group was indeed too competitive, so strong that others had no temper. Players who lost to them in competition subconsciously felt like they had been bullied. So, when they went out and maliciously spread the word, that was the origin of the Bai Zhan Mercenary Group's image in the minds of the players in Sunset City.

In fact, if you grabbed a player on the street and asked when the Bai Zhan Mercenary Group had bullied him, ninety-nine percent of the players wouldn't be able to answer. The emotions towards the Bai Zhan Mercenary Group were complex. The specific connotations could be referenced to the emotions of the poor towards the rich when the gap between the rich and the poor is too large.

These laymen were indignant that Bai Shi Jing Lun was showing off again, while many people in the Bai Zhan Mercenary Group couldn't see the clues, thinking they had the upper hand, and their faces were filled with joy.

Only Bai Shi Jing Lun felt very uncomfortable in his heart.

Throughout his series of punches and kicks, Gu Fei didn't fight back at all, but just moved back and forth. Even Bai Shi Jing Lun himself could see that up until now, Gu Fei had at least four excellent opportunities to counterattack. He even strengthened his defenses specifically to avoid being taken advantage of.

As a result, Gu Fei didn't seem to have any intention of winning at all, but just moved his legs and walked around.

It was this simple stepping that made Bai Shi Jing Lun lose his temper.

He could completely see that Gu Fei was using the exact same footwork as him. When Bai Shi Jing Lun took the first step, Gu Fei had already stepped on the second step; when he took the second step, Gu Fei just happened to catch up to the third step.

From the time Bai Shi Jing Lun discovered this until now, he had changed four sets of footwork one after another.

Arrow Step, Sliding Step, Hidden Step, Changshan Step. All of them were footwork that coordinated with the Fire Dragon Fist that Bai Shi Jing Lun was currently using.

As a result, without exception, they were all seen through by Gu Fei. No matter how Bai Shi Jing Lun stepped, Gu Fei could steadily step to the most appropriate position. The two were like dancing a ballroom dance, stepping to a pre-arranged rhythm. As for Bai Shi Jing Lun's attacks, he could only swing at air after each step Gu Fei took.

Bai Shi Jing Lun was really helpless. Because he knew the reason why Gu Fei could do this.

In addition to understanding the footwork and fist techniques equally well, Gu Fei's movement was faster than him. This wasn't just a little faster like attacking, Gu Fei was much faster.

For him, it was enough time to steadily see Bai Shi Jing Lun's step and then move.

This was created by the system god, and Bai Shi Jing Lun couldn't change it.

In addition, the Fire Dragon Fist that Bai Shi Jing Lun was using emphasized taking the step as the first priority, the hand as the auxiliary, and the body as the second. Gu Fei accurately saw this point, saw through Bai Shi Jing Lun's footwork, and then made the most reasonable movement. Bai Shi Jing Lun's attack naturally dissolved in the invisible.

How could Bai Shi Jing Lun not understand these principles? He was just unwilling. He hoped to make a little change in the footwork, hoping that Gu Fei would misjudge.

As a result, it was already the fourth set of footwork, and Gu Fei's stepping was still so accurate. Bai Shi Jing Lun had almost forgotten to use attacks on his hands, and his eyes were looking lower and lower, staring at the two feet on the ground.

The two feet suddenly stopped moving!

Bai Shi Jing Lun felt a burst of ecstasy in his heart. Did Gu Fei finally not know how to react? He raised his head, wanting to punch, but felt like something was wrong.

Gu Fei was also looking at him, and said lightly, "You should change your footwork..."

Bai Shi Jing Lun was completely dizzy. He only cared about paying attention to the movement under Gu Fei's feet, and unknowingly had stepped the fourth set of footwork, Changshan Step, from beginning to end. Of course, it was natural to stop after finishing. He hadn't realized that he should use the next set of footwork, but he only saw that Gu Fei's feet suddenly stopped moving, and he immediately became happy.

He had completely forgotten that it was because his feet had stopped moving, so Gu Fei had stopped moving.

Bai Shi Jing Lun was completely dizzy...

At this time, Gu Fei pointed it out calmly, and Bai Shi Jing Lun was immediately very embarrassed. Even if he used the fifth set of footwork now, he had already lost face, so what was the point?

The others were completely unaware of the key to this. They only saw Bai Shi Jing Lun chasing and attacking all the way, while Gu Fei was constantly dodging and hiding. But after stopping in a blink of an eye, Gu Fei was still calm and composed, while Bai Shi Jing Lun seemed to be in agony.

There was a lot of discussion, especially among the players in Sunset City. At this time, Gu Fei was full of mysterious aura in their eyes. During this period of time, countless Appraisal spells were cast on Gu Fei. Of course, they couldn't appraise anything shocking. As for Gu Fei's skills, they had been watching Gu Fei wander around in the middle of the arena since they arrived. How could a layman see anything?

Bai Shi Jing Lun still wanted to continue, but he really didn't know how to start.

Gu Fei was actually quite embarrassed at this time.

When Bai Shi Jing Lun attacked him continuously, he did see a lot of opportunities to counterattack. There were several times when he even had the confidence to win with one blow, but that had to be under the condition that he had enough strength.

Unfortunately, as a mage, what he lacked was strength. So he could only watch the opportunities slip away one after another. Bai Shi Jing Lun thought he didn't want to attack, but Gu Fei actually wanted to attack, but he couldn't. If he attacked, without enough strength to penetrate Bai Shi Jing Lun's defenses, he might be taken down by Bai Shi Jing Lun in an instant.

Although he had faced opponents with far greater strength than himself in the game, Gu Fei could dissolve them all by using some techniques of borrowing strength. But now he couldn't.

First, Bai Shi Jing Lun was not an ordinary person, but also a martial arts expert with a good grasp of strength. It couldn't be dissolved just like that.

Second, the Fire Dragon Fist that Bai Shi Jing Lun used was originally a skill of using softness to overcome hardness, and borrowing strength to strike cleverly. It would be a bit too heaven-defying to try to borrow strength from such a skill again. Gu Fei didn't look down on Bai Shi Jing Lun that much. From the fact that he chose the Fire Dragon Fist to deal with himself, Gu Fei knew that he had already expected that Gu Fei's strength was insufficient and could only win with skill, so he simply chose this flexible, quick, and versatile fist technique.

If Bai Shi Jing Lun kept using this type of fist technique to greet Gu Fei, as long as he didn't make a mistake himself, Gu Fei really couldn't think of any way to deal with it. But if he changed to a fierce and sharp one to give Gu Fei a chance to make use of the topic, it was estimated that this guy wouldn't be so stupid. Gu Fei suddenly realized that there were quite a lot of limitations to wanting to spar with a real martial artist in an online game.

The two stood there for a while without speaking, and the audience was a little impatient after not seeing any blood for a long time. Ordinary people didn't dare to say anything, but how could the girl with the slender waist and dance care about these? She immediately shouted at Gu Fei, "Don't dawdle, quickly kill him, you should be logging off!!!"

As soon as she shouted this, before Gu Fei could say anything, Bai Shi Jing Lun suddenly reacted, quickly looked at the time, and immediately started stomping his feet, "It's already this late, why hasn't there been any reaction???"

Many people in the Bai Zhan Mercenary Group immediately panicked.

"Let's stop here for today, I'll find you to learn from you again when I have the chance." Bai Shi Jing Lun hurriedly greeted Gu Fei, and then led his large group of mercenary members towards the safe area for logging off.

"What's going on?" Gu Fei was still at a loss, and received a system message from Bai Shi Jing Lun applying to be his friend. After choosing to accept, he sent a message over casually: "What's wrong?"

"Evening class! Evening class!" Bai Shi Jing Lun replied.

Gu Fei immediately understood. Morning class and evening class were the two main time periods for martial artists to practice now. Because they had to sleep at night and work during the day, they could basically only squeeze out this little bit of time. Modern people have a lot of pressure! Practicing martial arts can't be eaten, and it's both time-consuming and labor-intensive to practice, so it's no wonder that even the descendants of these martial arts families don't like it.

Gu Fei thought, sighing repeatedly. He didn't originally have the habit of morning and evening classes at home. But since he came out to work as a teacher, he also started this kind of time arrangement. Recently, he had been spending time on this mission with Zong Heng Si Hai, and Gu Fei's evening classes had been a bit neglected, and he had been doing them hastily every day. Fortunately, the mission had been successfully completed today.

"It seems I should also have a good evening class." Gu Fei thought.
