Chapter 38: Chapter 38: Battle with Gu Ye
Since March, Ye Yun's speed of improvement has been noticed by all the students in the entire elite training camp. What's even more terrifying is that Ye Yun has shown no signs of decline at all. He has been making great progress every month, breaking one cognitive bottom line after another.
According to their general thinking, everyone has a period of explosive growth in strength, which is understandable, but Ye Yun seems to be always in a period of explosive growth and can't stop at all.
Everyone knows that the higher you go in strength, the harder it becomes. Maybe you can raise the combat power amplitude to about 8 in a year, but it is extremely difficult to increase it to 12 in the second year, almost impossible. However, Ye Yun is raising it in months.
It was precisely because of Ye Yun's incredible performance that others no longer put Ye Yun in their comparison list, and their hearts had all calmed down. Perhaps only when Ye Yun stopped would they be surprised.
After finishing this training in the Trial Tower, Ye Yun returned to Muyun Pavilion. When Gu Ye learned the good news brought by Ye Yun, he also felt numb in his heart, but he was also sincerely happy for Ye Yun.
Gu Ye developed a very detailed training plan for Ye Yun. Each plan had a short-term goal requirement, but Ye Yun basically exceeded the goal every time, so the training plan had to be improved again and again.
Even so, Gu Ye did not feel it was too troublesome. Instead, he was even more surprised. This represented Ye Yun's potential, which was constantly growing. Every time he did something beyond their expectations, he was full of enthusiasm to move forward.
In Gu Ye's opinion, the agreement between Hong and Ye Yun was not an easy task to fulfill. At the beginning, Gu Ye did not have much confidence in Ye Yun. After all, if a spiritual master wants to reach the level beyond the god of war, there is too little experience to learn from on Earth today.
However, Ye Yun's performance gave Gu Ye hope. Only three months had passed. Apart from Ye Yun's powerful aura as a spiritual master, Ye Yun had also shown incredible progress on the path of a warrior. Gu Ye was a very confident person, but if he had the same physical fitness as Ye Yun, he would no longer be sure of winning.
Although Gu Ye's duty during these few months was to train Ye Yun, he did not relax at all in his own training during this process. However, Gu Ye was almost at the pinnacle of the high-level warrior god, and it was very difficult to make any further progress. He persisted in training for several months, but the gains were very minimal, with almost no improvement.
In other words, after Ye Yun's body movement and gun skills reached the realm level, there was no difference between them. It was just that in terms of physical fitness, Ye Yun had not yet reached the level of a high-level god of war. But if they had the same physical fitness, it was really unknown what the outcome of the battle would be.
Gu Ye was only thirty years old. Seeing Ye Yun's increasing level, the blood in his heart surged. The fighting enthusiasm that had been buried once again rose. He changed his lazy image of the past, looked directly at Ye Yun with eager eyes, and said solemnly,
"Ye Yun, let's have a fight!"
Ye Yun watched Gu Ye's changes. His understanding of Gu Ye also made it clear to Ye Yun that Gu Ye was very serious at this moment and did not mean to joke. He was smart and understood Gu Ye's meaning at once.
"Challenge room, shall we go?"
Arriving at the challenge room of the Ninth Floor, Ye Yun discovered that the layout here was basically the same as that of the trial room. There were two sofas with dark blue helmets placed on them, which were obviously the products of the same technology.
The two of them didn't say anything, just smiled at each other, sat down on the sofa, and put on helmets at the same time.
On the boundless silver alloy land, there was only one building - the ring!
Swish! Swish!
Ye Yun and Gu Ye's virtual bodies appeared on the ring out of thin air.
Just like the challenge in the Trial Tower, Ye Yun and Gu Ye both chose their weapons. Gu Ye looked at the eight maps that appeared and said,
"Ye Yun, choose a map!"
Ye Yun looked at the eight maps. The scenes on the maps were quite rich. There were relatively empty stadiums, ruined cities with densely packed dilapidated buildings, primeval forests with towering trees everywhere, and so on. Almost every map scene had its own characteristics.
Ye Yun thought for a moment, chose the primeval forest scene, and clicked OK.
As the two confirmed it at the same time, the earth trembled and the surrounding scene changed instantly. The original arena disappeared without a trace, and Ye Yun and Gu Ye appeared in a huge primeval forest, surrounded by tall trees, low shrubs, and vines. Due to the obstruction of many plants, they could not feel the bright light in this primeval forest, and it was even a little dim, with a deep dark green feeling.
Without having time to marvel at the simulation realism of this virtual space, Ye Yun adjusted his state and kept himself ready to attack at any time. Although this duel was just a competition with Gu Ye, Ye Yun knew that Gu Ye also hoped to have a sufficiently exciting duel, so Ye Yun was not going to give up at all and just wanted to try his best. He also wanted to see what the outcome would be when he faced Gu Ye, who had practiced for many years.
Ye Yun deliberately chose the battle scene in the primeval forest in order to maximize his advantages. He is not pedantic at all and will not let go of any opportunity to increase his chances of winning, even if it is only a little bit.
"The battle begins!" The electronic voice echoed throughout the primeval forest, very long.
Ye Yun held the spear in his hand and did not take the initiative to attack. The next moment, he saw Gu Ye, holding two strange scimitars, coming to him quietly. Under the cover of the dim environment, he made almost no noise. By the time Ye Yun noticed it, Gu Ye's scimitar had already chopped towards Ye Yun's neck at a very strange angle.
"What a sharp knife!"
Gu Ye's two scimitars have an almost ninety-degree corner that can fit Gu Ye's elbows perfectly. Whether attacking or defending, there is no worldly air to them, and there is silent murderous intent in the silence.
However, Ye Yun's body movements were no decoration. He took a small step back and avoided the cut of the scimitar. The skin on his neck could even feel the coldness of the blade. Ignoring this, Ye Yun swung his spear to force away Gu Ye who was close to him. At the same time, he exerted force with both hands and stabbed Gu Ye straight at him with the spear.
Gu Ye crossed his two swords and pressed against Ye Yun's spear. While locking the spear's entrance, he moved from the side of the spear and instantly came to Ye Yun's side again. He used the scimitar in his right hand to swing the spear away, and used the scimitar in his left hand to cut across Yun's chest.
Gu Ye who entered into combat state was completely different from what Ye Yun usually saw. He was like an assassin in the shadows, and every move he made was a fatal kill, without any emotion at all.
The scimitar used by Gu Ye was a surprise weapon, and he was good at close combat, so since the start of the battle, he tried his best to close the distance between him and Ye Yun, otherwise, if he was attacked by Ye Yun's spear, it would be very difficult for him to perform.
Ye Yun also understood this. He originally wanted to use the spear's attack range advantage to expand the scope of the battle, but he didn't expect Gu Ye to be extremely experienced in combat. The two scimitars in his hands were like two flexible long snakes. Not only were they powerful, but the angles of attack he chose also made it extremely difficult for him to defend against.
For a moment, Ye Yun was forced to defend himself against Gu Ye's continuous and tight attacks, with a bitter smile in his heart. He did not expect that the map scene of this primeval forest was very consistent with Gu Ye's fighting style. The restrictions of various plants made it difficult for him to swing his spear, but the short weapon scimitar gave him a lot of room to play.
Although at a disadvantage, Ye Yun did not panic. After several clashes with Gu Ye, he was already familiar with the battle scenes. He immediately put his artistic conception-level body skills into use. The complex plants around him instantly changed from obstacles to the battle to conditions that Ye Yun could use. The use of his spear skills was no longer restricted and blended perfectly with the environment around him.
As Ye Yun's opponent, Gu Ye clearly felt Ye Yun's changes and immediately understood that this was the effect of Ye Yun's artistic conception-level body skills.
He attacked forward again. After a few rounds, Gu Ye found that he had lost the offensive rhythm that was under his control just now. He clearly did not feel that Ye Yun had become much stronger, but his attacks just could not produce any effect. He tried his best to use his artistic conception-level swordsmanship, but it was like hitting the water surface. It did not threaten Ye Yun who was protected by the water surface at all.
Gu Ye's artistic conception is similar to "weird". Combined with his peculiar swordsmanship, in the first battle, with his style, he can defeat more than 80% of opponents of the same level. After getting familiar with them, the winning rate will decrease, but it is still very strong.
Ye Yun's familiarity with Gu Ye completely exceeded Gu Ye's own cognition. From Ye Yun's perspective, he felt that the artistic conception he had realized had a subtle effect of restraining Gu Ye's "weirdness". No matter how changeable and weird you are, you still cannot escape the restrictions of the entire environment. As Ye Yun became more and more familiar with Gu Ye's style of play, Gu Ye basically had no chance of winning.
The key to Ye Yun's "oil" state of mind is to be able to control the rhythm of the battle and lead the opponent with an unstoppable trend. With a higher perspective and stronger experience, there is a great chance to find a special and strange angle of attack, thus winning with one blow.
Although Gu Ye had anticipated the outcome, he was not in a hurry and still maintained his offensive pace. The next moment, he suddenly saw Ye Yun's spear fall from Ye Yun's hand and shoot towards his chest at an extremely fast speed. Gu Ye did not expect Ye Yun to make such an attack. He lagged behind in reaction and could no longer dodge. He had to cross his two swords at an angle and burst out with all his strength to block Ye Yun's spear throw.
However, after Gu Ye blocked the spear, before he could even breathe a sigh of relief, he saw Ye Yun coming to his side almost at the same time, with his right hand in the shape of a knife, pressing against Gu Ye's throat.
"Lao Gu, you lose!"
