Fate Reignites: My Rampage in a World Where Time Stops-Chapter 80: Cooking Up Personal Favors

"Clang—"

"Ting—"

The howling winds, the roaring flames, and the clash of metal intermingled, resonating continuously across the training ground.

With the new alloy material, Ji Huai held nothing back; his weapon was no longer limited to the Horse-cutting Saber as he reverted to the variable weapon mode. Feeling immense pressure, Qin Chuan became momentarily careless after several rounds, allowing the flaming lance to pierce through his Water Hand.

Just as the sharp tip of the spear was about to puncture a hole in Qin Chuan's body, Ji Huai instinctively held back but sensed something was amiss.

It was not until Qin Chuan's body transformed into countless flying snowflakes, causing the sharp spear to stab the air, that Ji Huai realized what was wrong.

The sourc𝗲 of this content is freēwēbηovel.c૦m.

Qin Chuan had another skill he had not used before.

Watching the drifting frost snow, Ji Huai withdrew his lance, his muscles tensing.

A flake of snow that drifted behind Ji Huai flickered with light, revealing Qin Chuan's figure.

Sensing the movement immediately, Ji Huai did not turn his head; his lance thrust backward from his hip in a flash, the blade ablaze as he accurately thrust it towards Qin Chuan's position.

But Qin Chuan, prepared and faster, had already controlled the water on the ground to rise swiftly, forming a barrier in front of him. As it blocked the blade, a freezing chill emanated from the wall of water, quickly suppressing the fierce flames at the spear's tip.

One-by-one, hands reached out from the wall of water, clamping down on the blade fiercely. At the same time, countless spikes emerged from the water, transforming into icy spikes fiercely aimed at Ji Huai.

Ji Huai's expression remained calm. In an instant, as his other hand lifted, a shield-sword was already in his grasp; with a slant and a chop, he shattered the incoming icy spikes and swung, striking the wall of water with a crimson flame.

With a forceful and powerful strike, he split the water barrier, slicing Qin Chuan into a sky full of frost snow again; the spear freed itself, and combining with the shield-sword, it transformed into a Heavy Halberd in Ji Huai's grip.

"Huff—"

Ji Huai blew fiercely towards the frost snow, the intense blaze rapidly spreading, a deep explosive sound roaring like a demon, against the cold frost, instantly sublimating much of the frost snow formed by Qin Chuan.

Having observed once, he pinpointed Qin Chuan's flaw right away.

Qin Chuan's shadow, forced out with a bitter smile, found the Heavy Halberd resting upon his neck.

Ultimately, his Extraordinary Value was much inferior.

If Qin Chuan's Frost Cold could suppress Ji Huai's flames, the outcome would still be uncertain.

"Good use of the attribute," Ji Huai rarely spoke a word of praise, "your Ice Attribute Skill would be best paired with a weapon."

Qin Chuan knew Ji Huai was referring to Seek Frost Trace.

He had also realized this.

Because Seek Frost Trace could transform everything he carried into snow, including weapons.

On the other hand, paired with water flow, an attribute that needed manipulation, Seek Frost Trace's advantage could not be fully utilized.

The person moved, but the water remained in place.

There was evasion, but it lacked the element of surprise in attack.

"How long does it take you to get home from school?" Ji Huai suddenly asked.

Qin Chuan, puzzled, estimated and then replied, "About twenty minutes."

"Starting today, stay an hour after combat class," Ji Huai left these words and strode towards the other students, "Combat training, begin."

The students watching this battle each seemed invigorated as if injected with adrenaline, each fighting with extra vigor.

Only Qin Chuan fell into deep thought.

What was the extra hour for?

And now that he had made a breakthrough, who would he spar with in upcoming combat training?

-----------------

Half an hour of combat training quickly ended.

The other students gradually went home, leaving only Qin Chuan and Xiao Pang, who after saying their goodbyes, remained behind.

With no one else on the training ground, Ji Huai approached Qin Chuan, "Every day for an hour, I will instruct you in mastering a type of Weapon Skill."

"You choose which one."

"Eh?" Qin Chuan was momentarily stunned, and then his eyes burst with surprise.

This had already exceeded what Ji Huai typically taught in his classes—it was what people call "extra lessons."

But Qin Chuan had his doubts.

"Teacher Ji, I heard that martial arts training takes a long time to build a foundation, often requiring several years just to grasp the basics. Is one hour a day really enough?"

"Others' methods might not be sufficient, but mine is," Ji Huai said calmly, lending credibility to his words.

Thinking that Ji Huai looked only about thirty years old yet had mastered so many weapons, Qin Chuan also felt that Ji Huai might really have some special methods.

He became even more excited.

"Thank you, Teacher Ji!" Qin Chuan said gratefully. "About the tuition fees..."

"I don't need money," Ji Huai slightly frowned, as if he thought Qin Chuan talked too much. "Have you chosen?"

"The long saber," Qin Chuan quickly responded.

He chose the long saber because Water Flower used a saber. If he could master the long saber, he could better complement the Frost Breaking Slash.

Additionally, once he had achieved some success himself, he might even be able to give pointers to Water Flower and help her enhance her strength with saber techniques, just as Water Flower had mastered the Blood Control Ability.

Moreover, from what Qin Chuan observed, though Ji Huai was proficient with all weapons, the first weapons he always reassembled were sabers, which might mean that sabers were his specialty.

"Good," Ji Huai casually reassembled two identical unsharpened long sabers and tossed one to Qin Chuan. "Follow my lead."

Saying this, he held the handle with both hands, the tip of the saber pointing upwards, assuming the initial stance.

Qin Chuan took the long saber and mimicked the stance properly.

After confirming there were no issues with Qin Chuan's posture, Ji Huai raised the saber in his hand high and then swiftly chopped downwards.

"This is a chopping blade. The force reaches the blade, arm and saber in a straight line, the body of the saber aligning with the direction of the chop," Ji Huai said, then looked at Qin Chuan, signaling him to try it out.

Perhaps the Basic Boxing Skill had provided a comprehensive boost to Qin Chuan's physical condition, for after merely two or three tries, Qin Chuan successfully grasped the key points of this basic movement.

Thus, Ji Huai proceeded to the next basic movement.

There were a dozen basic movements in saber techniques, and by the time Qin Chuan had mastered them all, about half an hour had passed.

The patient and meticulous instruction from Ji, the Demon King, took Qin Chuan by surprise, but considering he was a beginner, it indeed made sense to start from the basics.

"Moving on to the next stage," Ji Huai said calmly. "Consolidate what you've just learned."

Qin Chuan quickly picked up the long saber.

The next moment, his expression was baffled.

Because Ji Huai picked up the saber and charged directly at him, his fierce attack completely unreserved.

You call this consolidation? You're trying to kill me!

We now know "1 + 1 = 2", so we're proving Goldbach's conjecture???

Qin Chuan instinctively wanted to control the flow of water but then heard Ji Huai's calm voice.

"Do not use Extraordinary Power, use only the basic saber movements I just taught."

And you still call those "basic movements"?!

Qin Chuan took a deep breath, his eyes hardening.

He raised the long saber high, as if aiming to split the heavens and earth with one strike.

Chopping Blade!!!

"Clang—"

The saber flew away, the heavens and earth remained.

"Pick up your saber, continue."

"...Oh."

Don't rush, there are two more updates.
