Apocalypse Academy Extraordinary Training Hall, Sword Room A.
The flickering blade light tore through the sunlight shining through the glass window, and instantly transformed into numerous phantoms, as if a violent wind and rain were swaying towards Zuo Yi, fast, sharp, and turbulent!
Zuo Yi held the sword in his hand and blocked the dagger that stabbed him with incomparable precision. No matter how sharp and tricky his opponent's attack was, he could not penetrate his defense.
The tip of the dagger hit the sword body, making an endless clanging sound.
The next moment, the figure spinning around Zuo Yi at high speed flew back, widening the distance between them.
Alijie dropped her sore arms weakly. She was breathing heavily, her eyes fixed on Zuo Yi, her forehead was covered with glistening sweat, and her short ponytail dangled behind her.
There was a stubbornness in her eyes that refused to admit defeat. Although she knew that the gap with Zuo Yi was huge, she was still not very satisfied with her performance just now.
"good."
Zuo Yi put away the long sword used for practice and said with a smile: "There has been progress again."
Zuo Yi has honest beliefs and certainly does not lie.
It has been a month since Alijie came to Hangzhou from Gaul and entered Apocalypse College.
During this month, she studied and trained very hard, and under Zuo Yi's careful guidance, her strength and combat effectiveness have improved significantly.
As the chosen one, her talent is enough to make anyone envious!
"But teacher..."
In the past, the girl was always very happy to receive Zuo Yi's praise, but this time she frowned and pouted: "I always feel like I'm missing something. I can obviously perform better, but I always..."
It's always something, Alizee herself can't explain clearly, it's like she feels that her fighting ability has not been used to its extreme, and even if she tries her best, she still can't reach her peak state.
She had never had such a feeling before, but since studying with Zuo Yi, she has increasingly felt that she has obstacles or bottlenecks that she cannot break even if she tries hard.
"You're bad..."
Zuo Yi handed her a clean towel and said meaningfully: "This is a real combat experience!"
Alijie's career path in the world of Sadeya is that of a ranger or an assassin, with high agility, high speed, and first-rate melee combat capabilities. Both rangers and assassins place great emphasis on combat experience.
Assassins, in particular, wander between life and death, and every fight is an improvement. They not only exercise their combat skills, but also sharpen their spirit and will.
This is something that cannot be obtained through daily training or competition.
For the same two assassins, at the same rank, the one with more combat experience will definitely be stronger.
Alizee's current rank is Double C Extraordinary. The dual improvement of strengthening and spirituality will inevitably bring greater obstacles.
She needs to break through this obstacle herself.
Alijie wiped her sweat with a towel and said doubtfully: "But I have fought many times in the ring."
She has competed against others many times in the online arena. She has almost no opponents at the same level, and she has won many games in higher levels.
The girl is quite proud of this!
"Fighting in the online arena is called a game."
Zuo Yi laughed dumbly: "No matter how many times we fight, it can never replace the real battle."
Real combat, facing blood and death, is the best way for combat professionals to stimulate their potential and break through bottlenecks.
Of course, it is also the most dangerous method.
However, the flowers in the greenhouse will always be fragile if they have not withstood the baptism of wind, frost, snow and rain. The young eagles in the nest dare not jump off the cliff, and they will never be able to spread their wings and fly into the sky!
As a knight, Zuo Yi did not know how many brutal battles he went through before he became what he is today.
In these battles, Zuo Yi did not know how many life and death crises he encountered, but he survived them time and time again.
But he's not the only one.
None of the strong men in the Sadeya world succeeded by practicing hard at home behind closed doors.
The bones of countless competitors must be trampled under the feet of a top powerhouse.
Alijie came to her senses: "You want me to kill someone?"
"It's about fighting evil enemies and challenging stronger opponents."
Zuo Yi said seriously: "That will be very dangerous, and you may die."
The Fool of the Tarot Society regarded Alijie as his own daughter. He raised Alijie very well and protected her very well, but he still sent Alijie to Zuo Yi without hesitation.
Zuo Yi guessed that the Fool should be very aware of the responsibility that Alijie bears, but he may not be able to make the decision to let Alijie bear this responsibility, just like Zuo Yi could not put Bao'er into a dangerous situation.
It was undoubtedly a difficult choice for him to hand Alijie over to Zuo Yi.
Now Zuo Yi gives Ali Jie two choices, either to live peacefully and grow up step by step under his protection, or to face the baptism of blood and fire and the challenge of life and death.
The latter is undoubtedly too cruel for a thirteen-year-old girl.
But Alizee is no ordinary girl!
And no matter what choice Alijie makes, Zuo Yi will never change his attitude towards her.
Alizee understands.
She raised her head, clenched the towel in her hand, and faced Zuo Yi's eyes bravely: "Teacher, I choose to fight!"
"Very good." Zuo Yi was not surprised, nodded and said: "Then I will take you to fight."
When she made the decision to fight, it would be a lie to say that she didn't have the slightest fear or hesitation in her heart.
Life is so beautiful, and her life journey has just begun. Suddenly she has to face a cruel test, and her will is far from being strong enough to fear life and death.
But if you follow Zuo Yi, then you really don’t need to be afraid or worried.
In this world, who can be stronger than his teacher?
"Don't be too happy too soon..."
Zuo Yi poured cold water on him without hesitation: "Unless your opponent is too powerful, I will not interfere in your battle."
"Even if you die from it."
If Zuo Yi takes action, the meaning of the test will be lost. How can he help her truly grow?
Alijie immediately lowered her head: "Oh."
It's a bit aggrieved.
But she quickly raised her head again and said firmly: "Teacher, I will not let you down!"
"I'll wait and see."
Zuo Yi's eyes softened: "Your recent performance has been very good, and the teacher will give you a prize."
Alijie was surprised: "What prize?"
Zuo Yi waved his hand and took out a set of dark red leather armor from the space ring.
This is the fire dragon armor he customized for Alizee using the belly skin of the fire dragon. It consists of a four-piece set of breastplate, skirt armor, arm guards and leg guards, covering more than 300 dragon scales.
The skin of the fire dragon's abdomen is the most flexible and the scales are the most dense. Although its defensive power is not as good as other parts, it is most suitable for ranger-assassin professionals.
Zuo Yi asked Alizee to fight, not to let her die, so a set of equipment that can make up for her weaknesses is a must!
