"Don't be afraid, your teacher is merely giving you some pointers."
Nangong Ling smiled faintly and said, "If you were at a public Star Martial Arts Dojo and wanted to hire a sparring partner like me, it would cost at least five hundred Alliance Coins an hour. You all should cherish this opportunity."
"Lu Xiaobai, you are in first place, so you go first!"
She cracked her knuckles, looking eager to try.
"..."
Lu Xiaobai's mouth twitched, and he could only bite the bullet and step forward.
"Forget it, a beating is just a beating. At least I got the Starry Sky Points..."
Just as he was bracing himself for a storm of attacks, his mind suddenly stirred, remembering his family's special skill, Fake Injury.
"My old man praised this thing to the heavens, so it should be effective, right? But it's only at level one, which might not be enough..."
With this in mind, Lu Xiaobai allocated the remaining Starry Sky Point from yesterday to Fake Injury, successfully upgrading it to level two.
"Teacher, bring it on!"
He took a deep breath, fully prepared.
Nangong Ling didn't say another word. Her gaze instantly turned sharp, as if she had become a completely different person, exuding a terrifying sense of oppression.
Her body dashed forward, instantly turning into an afterimage, making it impossible for anyone to track her exact location!
"This is the Star Skill Flowing Shadow Steps!"
Nangong Ling's voice echoed from an unknown direction:
"In the future, when you become official Star Martial Artists, you will learn combat Star Skills. This will be your primary method of fighting. You can get a sneak peek at it now."
The crowd looked on with envy.
Most of them only knew a basic body-tempering method, but that was just for assisting in boosting vitality and didn't offer much help in actual combat.
Only Star Skills could amplify a Star Martial Artist's abilities by several times or even more. They could be considered the foundation of a Star Martial Artist's strength!
"I can't see her..."
Lu Xiaobai muttered, though he didn't seem panicked.
Right at that moment,
He suddenly sensed a fierce gust of wind coming from his left, which even made his skin sting faintly.
"Here she comes!"
Lu Xiaobai's heart jolted. Without any hesitation, he instantly activated his special skill, Fake Injury!
Pfft!
In an instant,
Lu Xiaobai's face went deathly pale, and he spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.
This scene caused everyone's expressions to change drastically.
No way, is she really going that hard?!
Seeing this, Nangong Ling forcibly halted her Flowing Shadow Steps and frowned, saying:
"Hey, I haven't even hit you yet. Do you have to act this well..."
Lu Xiaobai clutched his chest and said:
"Teacher, your Star Skill is too strong. That gust of wind just now was already more than I could handle!"
"???"
Nangong Ling curled her lip and said:
"Stop pretending with me. Do you really think I don't know my own strength?"
She didn't believe him at all. She took a step forward, just about to activate Flowing Shadow Steps again, when she saw Lu Xiaobai spit out another mouthful of blood.
"Still acting? I didn't do anything. Are you trying to scam me?"
Nangong Ling's eyes widened, looking as if she were saying, do you take me for a fool?
However, just as her words fell, Lu Xiaobai clutched his chest again and spat out seven or eight mouthfuls of blood in rapid succession...
"Wait, are you made of blood?"
Nangong Ling and the rest of the students were completely dumbfounded on the spot.
None of them had seen him put any props into his mouth, proving that the blood was spraying out from inside his body. But this defied all logic...
"Crap, how do I stop this thing..."
Lu Xiaobai was equally bewildered.
This was his first time using Fake Injury, and he had absolutely no idea how to make it stop. His old man had never given him any pointers on this...
While he was thinking, he spat out a few more mouthfuls of blood.
He could feel that his body was in perfect condition without the slightest sense of weakness. This blood seemed to be produced out of thin air!
"Lu Xiaobai, you... don't scare me!"
Nangong Ling lost all her previous composure, her face turning pale from fright.
"I..."
Just as Lu Xiaobai was about to speak, he spat out yet another mouthful of blood.
"Brother, please stop throwing up blood, you're scaring us..."
The crowd was full of panic, completely clueless about what was happening.
Could it be that he had overtrained and damaged his foundation? But they had never seen anyone spray blood like this before...
At this moment,
Lu Xiaobai's mouth was wide open, frantically spewing blood. It looked like a water pipe with a forgotten valve...
His eyes darted around as he desperately tried to figure out how to end this.
Suddenly, he remembered that special skills were also powered by Star Energy. As long as he cut off the supply of Star Energy within his body, it should be enough.
Thinking of this, Lu Xiaobai began to carefully sense the Star Energy inside his body.
For Star Martial Artists before level 10 vitality, the Star Energy in their bodies was minuscule. However, if one felt for it carefully, it could still be found...
"This is bad. If he keeps vomiting like this, he'll turn into a mummy!"
Nangong Ling quickly regained her calm and said:
"Lu Xiaobai, don't panic. I'll take you to the hospital right away."
Lu Xiaobai, however, waved his hand and said:
"I'm fine, it's... pfft... not a big deal... pfft!"
"Not a big deal?"
Nangong Ling's eyes twitched.
Looking at his condition, she felt there was no need to go to the hospital; he could be sent straight to the morgue...
Lu Xiaobai was about to speak when his eyes suddenly lit up. He had found the flow path of the Star Energy in his body and forcibly interrupted it.
His frantic blood-spitting finally came to a halt.
"It's finally over..."
He breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
Although this didn't cause him any actual harm, throwing up blood endlessly wasn't a solution. It was simply too terrifying to watch...
"Teacher, I feel better now. We can continue!"
Lu Xiaobai wiped the residual blood from the corner of his mouth and assumed a combat stance.
"Continue? Continue what?"
Nangong Ling's eyes showed a hint of bewilderment.
"The pointers."
"You still want to continue?!"
Nangong Ling glanced at the blood pooling into a babbling brook beside Lu Xiaobai and felt her scalp tingle.
Under these circumstances, she didn't even dare to speak harshly to him, let alone attack him...
"You must go to the hospital immediately!"
Although she was usually strict with her students, she certainly didn't want anything bad to happen to them.
"Teacher, I'm really fine..."
"Yu Wei, take him to the city hospital next to the school to get checked out!"
Nangong Ling's tone was resolute, leaving absolutely no room for negotiation.
Hearing this, Yu Wei hurriedly stepped forward to support Lu Xiaobai, saying with a worried expression:
"Brother, let's go see a doctor..."
He was genuinely terrified that Lu Xiaobai might drop dead at any moment...
Seeing this, Lu Xiaobai didn't insist any further and nodded in agreement.
After all, his goal was to use Fake Injury to dodge Nangong Ling's beating...
Soon, the two left the Star Martial Arts Dojo.
"Teacher, what about our pointers..."
Du An asked cautiously.
"To hell with pointers!"
Nangong Ling waved her hand, looking a bit irritated.
Given the situation, she didn't dare to make a move anymore. If other students also ended up like this, it would be a huge disaster.
"Clean up the area."
At this moment, Nangong Ling called over the cleaning robots in the venue, intending to have them clean up the blood on the floor.
"Wait a second!"
She suddenly thought of something. Stepping forward, she dabbed a bit of the blood and used the scanning function of the chip in her hand to begin analyzing it.
A moment later, the chip gave the result. It was actually real human blood!
"He really threw up blood..."
Nangong Ling's mind was instantly a mess, completely clueless about what was going on...
