"Come on, make your move. Considering you're the junior, I'll let you go first. Let's finish this quickly and grab some food; I'm starving."

"Why aren't you making a move? If you're scared, I'll let you have three moves first. Or ten, twenty, whatever you need."

Hero Guo's tone carried a hint of mockery and disdain, clearly treating Lin Feng like a child.

Lin Feng was annoyed but couldn't argue back, as his strength was indeed worlds apart from Hero Guo's.

However, this underestimation gave him the perfect chance to catch Hero Guo off guard.

With this thought, Lin Feng narrowed his eyes, gathered his energy, and charged toward Hero Guo like an arrow leaving the bowstring.

As he got closer, Lin Feng struck with full force.

"Eight Trigrams Wandering Dragon Palm!"

The palm wind howled, unleashing a tremendous power capable of splitting stone and breaking wood, its momentum fierce.

It seemed like he was about to hit his target.

Unexpectedly, Hero Guo, who had been relaxed and lazy just moments ago, suddenly sharpened his gaze and moved like a rabbit.

He not only easily dodged Lin Feng's palm wind but also found time to strike Lin Feng's chest.

Bang!

Lin Feng was instantly sent flying backward.

Fortunately, Hero Guo hadn't intended to harm him and didn't use internal strength; otherwise, that single palm could have been fatal.

Their sparring was purely about moves and combat experience, without using internal strength.

"Eight Trigrams Wandering Dragon Palm? That's a signature move of the Eight Trigrams School. Not bad, but your execution is too deliberate. Anyone with more experience can easily dodge it. It's best to feint before striking to catch your opponent off guard."

Hero Guo leisurely critiqued. Lin Feng knew he was being given advice, so he listened carefully and committed it to memory.

He quickly adjusted and chose to strike again.

This time, he first bent his arm and raised his elbow, hiding the palm technique, and used an elbow strike to close in on his opponent.

This sudden elbow strike forced Hero Guo to dodge, and Lin Feng's Wandering Dragon Palm seamlessly followed.

Even Hero Guo was a bit surprised this time. Although he still dodged, it was much more rushed, and his shoulder took a hit from Lin Feng's elbow.

Hero Guo's eyes showed appreciation as he asked, "Not bad, what's that move called?"

"Elbow Strike, a combat technique that uses short distances and elbow joints for sudden attacks."

Lin Feng explained. This was from his past life experience as a mercenary, where he had fought in underground matches worldwide.

In those fights, anything went, and any part of the body could be a weapon. The brutality was such that even MMA and UFC fighters would be overwhelmed.

Lin Feng had spent years in that environment, mastering a wealth of combat techniques and becoming highly skilled.

If it weren't for this game, he could easily have been a top soldier on Mysterious Star.

But in the world of wuxia games, martial arts were still key. Of course, rich combat experience was also helpful in battles, often providing unexpected advantages against evenly matched opponents.

"Elbow Strike? Interesting, let me try."

Hero Guo mimicked the move and launched an elbow strike at Lin Feng.

Lin Feng chuckled at the sight. "You want to fight me in close combat? That's my territory."

He seized the moment, and before Hero Guo's elbow could land, he jabbed his fingers into Hero Guo's armpit.

Hiss!

Hero Guo winced and stepped back, but he wasn't giving up.

"Interesting, let's go again!"

With that, he charged at Lin Feng once more, this time faster. Lin Feng knew he couldn't match the speed, so he raised his arm to block.

In the instant of contact, he wrapped around Hero Guo like a python, sticking close and using his whole body to sweep Hero Guo's legs out from under him.

Caught off guard, Hero Guo fell backward.

He instinctively wanted to use internal strength to shake Lin Feng off and spring back up, but he refrained, worried about injuring Lin Feng.

He thought, "It's just a fall, no big deal. Only kids use moves like this."

Just as Hero Guo was about to laugh at Lin Feng's childish tactics, he found himself unable to laugh.

Because as soon as he hit the ground, Lin Feng twisted at an odd angle, clamping his legs around Hero Guo's head while locking his arms, rendering him immobile.

Hero Guo got serious, trying to break free with brute force, but as soon as he exerted himself, pain shot through his arm.

Lin Feng smiled and said, "Caught in my armbar and trying to break free with brute force? You might lose that arm."

The armbar was a grappling technique in combat. Once locked in, it was difficult to escape without the right skills.

Hero Guo tried a few more times, his face turning red, but he couldn't succeed.

"Kid, let go. What's the point of this?"

Hero Guo, his face flushed, called for a stop.

Lin Feng obliged and released him.

Hero Guo got up, curious, "What was that move called?"

"Armbar."

"Armbar? It looks like something out of a bedroom scene. It's indecent, quite unrefined," Hero Guo scoffed.

Lin Feng stifled a laugh and asked, "In a spar, it's all about skill. Why worry about refinement? Besides, aren't you the one who dislikes all those refined things?"

Hero Guo was momentarily speechless and a bit annoyed, "Fine, let's continue. This time, no more playing around. Use your Eight Trigrams Wandering Dragon Palm on me."

"Alright..."

Lin Feng complied, but as soon as he made his move, Hero Guo easily countered it, sending Lin Feng sprawling.

Hero Guo laughed heartily, boasting, "See? Your Wandering Dragon Palm still lacks finesse. Remember, your force must be steady, your strikes accurate, and your moves as flexible as the Eight Trigrams formation. Don't be rigid."

"I'll try again," Lin Feng said, taking the advice to heart and striking once more.

He failed repeatedly, but Hero Guo continued to guide him.

Lin Feng's martial arts experience was rapidly increasing.

"Congratulations! Your [Eight Trigrams Wandering Dragon Palm] proficiency has reached 'Skilled' level! Effect +6%! Strike speed +10%!"

Hero Guo, seeing Lin Feng's progress, felt he had regained some face and couldn't help but take an interest in the new combat techniques.

"Teach me that move from earlier. I want to learn how to handle my wife with it."

Lin Feng was speechless, "Senior, that's not a bedroom technique."

"Doesn't matter, just teach me."

"Alright, lie down, and I'll show you."

Soon, the two were 'entangled' again, with Lin Feng controlling Hero Guo's arms while explaining the details.

Once Hero Guo learned it, he got up satisfied and said to Lin Feng, "Alright, now show me another move."

"Sure thing."

Lin Feng demonstrated Mountain-Crushing Strike and Raging Waves, only to be mercilessly critiqued by Hero Guo as trash.

But he wasn't upset; instead, he humbly sought guidance and began to adjust based on the advice.

A few minutes later.

"Congratulations! Your [Mountain-Crushing Strike] proficiency has reached 'Skilled' level! Effect +8%! Strike damage +12%!"

"Congratulations! Your [Raging Waves] proficiency has reached 'Skilled' level! Effect +9%! Cooldown time reduced by 8%!"

After guiding Lin Feng on these moves, Hero Guo asked him to teach another bedroom—oops, combat technique.

Lin Feng happily obliged, demonstrating a rear neck lock, where he hugged Hero Guo from behind and locked his arms around Hero Guo's throat.

However, the position was indeed quite suggestive, prompting Hero Guo to complain repeatedly.

"You say it's not a bedroom move, but I've never played like this with my wife. Young people these days are so creative."

Lin Feng: "..."
