Naked Sword Art

Chapter 267 - Xiao Fang Vs. Li Yahui



Li Yahui finished giving Xiao Fang a tour of the club then handed him a book.

"What is this?" He asked.

"It's a beginner's guide on martial arts. We give it to all our new club members," she replied as they returned back to the gym. There, all the new recruits were still practicing in pairs.

Since Xiao Fang was absent during the martial arts demonstration, Li Yahui was also going to tutor him on the basics before sending him off. However, after finding a spot for them to spar, she quickly discovered that he wasn't a beginner at all.

"Is this really your first time?" She asked.

"I know a bit," he replied.

The truth was, Xiao Fang knew more than a bit. Yu An trained him just as hard in martial arts as his father did in swordsmanship. Although he preferred to use his sword than his hands, he knew he could get the job done with both. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

"In that case, shall we pick up the pace a little?" She suggested.

"I'll do my best to keep up," Xiao Fang replied.

Xiao Fang defended himself well against Li Yahui's attacks, but the more he did, the harder she tried to land a hit on him.

Xiao Fang suppressed his Body Cultivation to the Core Body realm, but that didn't change the fact that his body and reflexes were both still extremely strong.

After blocking, redirecting, and countering a number of her attacks, Xiao Fang finally went on the offensive. He deflected her hand as his other hand swooped in to push her back. However, being as skillful as she was, she blocked his attack then quickly threw a palm strike, followed by two kicks, making Xiao Fang take a step back.

She smirked thinking that she impressed him, but in that moment of self confidence, Xiao Fang found an opening.

Li Yahui was late to defend herself, as he unexpectedly targeted her pressure point. The attack landed, making her stumble a few steps back.

He didn't strike her pressure point too hard so she hardly felt it, but his intention wasn't to hurt or immobilize her, only to make her realize that he was more experienced than he led her to believe.

"So, you already know about pressure points. In that case I don't need to hold back," she said with an excited smile on her face.

Xiao Fang knew that Li Yahui was a shy girl, but if there was one thing she had in common with Li Xiang and Li Lian, it was that she seemed to have a real joy for competition.

"Hah!" She grunted as she attacked him again.

Xiao Fang and Li Yahui alternated between offense and defense as they fought, but Xiao Fang seemed to be getting the upper hand. Although he was reluctant to throw attacks of his own, he still made sure to punish any openings she left for him during their spar.

To his surprise, when he used his [ Spirit Perception ] technique it became even easier to see her mistakes. Sometimes, he was able to see her blunders even before she made them.

The new recruits in the gym began to notice their fast pace spar, so they started to get interested. Many of them approached to get a closer view since this was also a great opportunity to learn a thing or two from them.

Li Yahui was doing most of the attacking, but Xiao Fang seemed to be leagues above her. Although she was several times stronger than Li Xiang, she was still not a match for Xiao Fang.

Xiao Fang didn't attack her as much as she attacked him, but he still landed over a hundred blows to her pressure points in the past few minutes while she couldn't even land one.

...

"Whoa, look at him go."

"Is he really a disciple of this sect? Why have I never heard of him?"

"I can't believe he's beating Li Yahui blindfolded. Who is he?"

...

Eventually, nearly all of the new recruits were watching Xiao Fang fight. At some point, even Li Xiang and Xiao Hei began to notice.

"Ahh, it's Long Wang!" Li Xiang exclaimed before running to get a closer view.

She didn't think Xiao Fang would be able to keep up against Li Yahui, but she quickly realized she was wrong.

Li Yahui was a Tiger-Class disciple and a member of the official Martial Arts team, so although she liked that Xiao Fang was such a tough opponent, she couldn't help but feel like she was losing face in front of so many disciples.

Thinking that she figured him out, Li Yahui intentionally left herself wide open, baiting him to attack. When Xiao Fang went in to punish her for the mistake, she quickly made her move.

Li Yahui dodged his hands and knee as she suddenly slid her back foot forward.

[ Misdirection ]

Pa!

Li Yahui's eyes widened, because the attack didn't hit him like she expected it to, her attack was blocked. Xiao Fang stopped her kick so effortlessly, it almost seemed as if she didn't use the [ Misdirection ] technique at all.

Xiao Fang was blindfolded, but he still saw the fake kick because he was watching her with his [ Spirit Perception ] eyes. Although it was a good block, Xiao Fang didn't think it was something to be so surprised about.

Li Yahui only paused for a brief moment, but Xiao Fang still considered that a mistake. He quickly threw a palm strike to punish it, but she quickly raised her arms to block.

[ Misdirection ]

While an image of his palm strike shot straight for her head, his real hand went straight for her gut instead.

Pa!

The attack hit, making Li Yahui fall on her butt. She had been struck on her pressure points so many times, her limbs were starting to feel numb.

...

"Wasn't that the [ Misdirection ] technique just now? I thought only the Li Family guild could learn it. How could they let someone from a different guild learn it?"

"Are they teaching non-guild members that technique now? I want to learn it too."

...

The crowd began to talk about Xiao Fang as if him learning the [ Misdirection ] technique was bigger news than him beating an experienced martial artist.
