In the blink of an eye, a month had passed. Xia Yan adapted to the study and life at Maou Spiritual Academy and slowly settled down in the academy.
At this time, Xia Yan was holding a bamboo knife and swinging in the training room with other students in Class 2.
In the past month, combined with the consumption of spiritual food, Xia Yan felt that his spiritual pressure had increased significantly, and he was almost approaching the fifth level of spiritual pressure.
After training for half an hour, fine beads of sweat appeared on Xia Yan's forehead. At this time, the swordsmanship teacher Tsuruta Kenji said: "Okay, the training is over. Let's compete in actual combat. I will assign opponents to you."
"Abarai Renji, you and Kira Izuru are in a group."
"Kondo Isamu, you and Katsura Yugo are paired together."
“…”
Kenji Tsuruta assigned opponents to the group, and finally looked at the last boy, Natsuhiko, who was just twelve years old, and said: "Natsuhiko, you and Momo Hinamori are in a group."
Xia Yan is young and not tall, only 1.45 meters tall, which is about ten centimeters shorter than the shortest other boys.
Hinamori Momo is also relatively short among girls, only 1.5 meters, but she is older, so she is Xia Yan's opponent.
After assigning the groups, Xia Yan came to Hinamori Momo and stared at Hinamori Momo.
Hinamori Momo is thin in stature, with dark hair tied up behind her head. She has a delicate appearance, fair skin, and a pair of smart eyes.
Compared with Xia Yan's full attention, Hinamori Momo was a little careless. She felt that Xia Yan was just a child, so she didn't take it to heart.
Hinamori Tao looked at Xia Yan and said with a smile: "Xia Yan, I didn't expect you to be my opponent. You go ahead and attack."
Following Hinamori Momo's words, Natsuhiko suddenly stepped out with his right foot. The moment he landed, he heeled with his left foot. At the same time, the bamboo knife in his hand fell from top to bottom, turning into an afterimage and attacking Hinamori Momo's face. Door.
boom.
In her haste, Hinamori Momo only had time to raise the bamboo knife in her hand and put it in front of her body before she was hit hard.
The huge force came, and the bamboo knife in Hinamori Tao's hand almost fell out.
And the moment Hinamori grasped the bamboo knife again, the bamboo knife in Xia Yan's hand had already hit Hinamori's neck.
Hinamori Momo looked stunned, with a bit of disbelief on her face, but then she became decadent again.
Xia Yan took back his bamboo knife, saluted Hinamori Tao, and said, "I'm sorry."
Hinamori Momo was a little stunned. She didn't expect that Xia Yan was so powerful and defeated her in an instant.
It's ridiculous that I just thought Xia Yan was a child and I was no match for him.
Hinamori Tao's face turned rosy when she remembered her performance just now, and when she saw Xia Yan's expression of taking it for granted, she said with some dissatisfaction: "Come again."
Hinamori Tao once again held the bamboo knife in her hand and stared at Xia Yan with a wary expression.
She attributed her defeat just now to her own carelessness. Although the opponent was a genius with fourth-level spiritual pressure, he was short in stature, only eleven years old in appearance, and his arms were thinner than hers. Hinamori Momo thought that as long as she was careful, she would Be careful, you won't lose to this little kid.
But just when Hinamori Momo made up her mind, Xia Yan once again took a step forward, using the sending foot, and reached Hinamori Momo in one step.
As the body moves forward, the bamboo knife in his hand chops down from top to bottom. During the chopping process, the left and right hands twist toward the inside, pouring the strength of both hands into the inside of the bamboo knife and gathering it on the tip of the knife. .
boom.
Hinamori Momo reacted very quickly this time and blocked her body in time, but then a huge force came, which made Hinamori Momo's arm numb.
"What a powerful force."
Hinamori Momo silver teeth were secretly biting, and she felt a little shocked. This time Natsuhiko's power was even greater than the last time. I really don't know how this little kid had such strength, but luckily he was well prepared and withstood the blow.
The moment Xia Yan's bamboo sword was blocked, he stepped back in time to distance himself.
There is no doubt about the importance of retreating. Xia Yan already knew it in Xudiao District. It is not only to avoid possible enemy counterattacks, but also to leave a distance for counterattacks. It can also adjust the attack method in time based on the enemy's actions.
Xia Yan took a step back, and Hinamori Tao stepped forward and slashed with the same knife.
Xia Yan took a step back again, and Hinamori Tao's bamboo knife passed a centimeter in front of the tip of Xia Yan's nose. The moment the bamboo knife fell, Xia Yan had already thrust the knife straight and landed on Hinamori Tao's chest.
Natsuhiko's movements were simple and powerful, and he defeated Hinamori Momo with just a few moves, which was so easy.
Hinamori Momo looked at the bamboo sword in front of her and felt that she was still too careless and should not have taken the initiative to attack after the opponent had distanced herself.
"Come again."
Hinamori Momo challenged again, but after a few moves, Hinamori Momo was hit on the neck by Natsuhiko's bamboo knife.
"Come again."
Hinamori Momo challenged Natsuhiko again and again, but the result was very clear. She would lose every time within ten moves.
As she became familiar with Xia Yan's moves, she used more and more supporting moves, but she could only resist them in front of her. Once she tried to counterattack, she would be defeated with just one move.
Hinamori Tao was a little anxious, and fine beads of sweat appeared on her forehead, slowly sliding down her fair and pretty face.
With the continuous failures, Hinamori Momo became more and more anxious. Aiming at an opportunity, she stabbed Xia Yan directly in the chest with the bamboo knife.
Xia Yan took a step forward to the left and easily dodged it. The moment he took the step, the bamboo knife in his hand swung horizontally and cut Hinamori Momo's neck.
Facing Natsuhiko's bamboo sword, Hinamori Momo tried to block it with her sword, but at her own speed, there was no time to block the blow.
Hinamori Tao was anxious and mobilized as much power as possible. With a pop, she unconsciously used her spiritual power.
After the spirit child bloomed, Hinamori Tao's speed increased several times. She blocked Xia Yan's horizontal swing with a knife. The huge force knocked the bamboo knife in Xia Yan's hand away and slashed out at the same time.
The knife was so fast that it reached Xia Yan's face in the blink of an eye.
How could Xia Yan expect Hinamori Momo to use the spirit child? He had no time to react and moved his body subconsciously, but he was still hit in the shoulder.
Click.
The bamboo knife in Hinamori Tao's hand hit Xia Yan on the shoulder, directly shattering Xia Yan's shoulder bone and causing a sharp pain.
"ah!"
Xia Yan roared, fell to his knees, covered his shoulders, and turned pale.
Seeing this scene, Hinamori Momo was stunned, and then realized what she had done.
He wanted to win just now, so he subconsciously used the spirit son and injured Xia Yan.
"You, are you okay?"
Hinamori Momo looked anxious, dropped her wooden knife and ran towards Xia Yan. When she came to Xia Yan's side, before she could stand still, she was pushed to the ground by a figure:
"Get out of my way."
The person who appeared in front of Natsuhiko was Abarai Renji. He was the person who cared about Natsuhiko the most. The first moment Natsuhiko was injured, he came to Natsuhiko and supported his body.
Renji Abarai asked anxiously: "Natsuhiko, how do you feel?"
Xia Yan gritted his teeth and said, "The bones are broken."
Hinamori Tao said quickly: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean it."
Abarai's expression was grim, he glared at Hinamori Momo and angrily said, "Teacher has already said that you are not allowed to use spiritual power during sparring. If you use spiritual power, I think you did it on purpose."
"I really didn't mean it."
Tears were rolling in Hinamori Momo's eyes, and she wanted to say something, but at this time, swordsmanship teacher Tsuruta Kenji came to her side, groped Natsuhiko's shoulder, and with Natsuhiko's even more painful moans, she sighed and said : "The shoulder bone was broken and the collarbone was shattered. The injuries are not serious."
Renji Abarai asked anxiously: "What should we do?"
Swordsmanship teacher Tsuruta Kenji said calmly: "Don't worry, the Fourth Division has a special training class at the Mao Spiritual Arts Academy. The teacher is the monitor of the Fourth Division's medical aid class, which is enough to treat various injuries. Renji, you go Find the teacher."
"yes."
Renji Abarai stood up and ran towards the medical class quickly.
