Chapter 38: The Masked Woman and Maitreya

  "Wu Ya brothers, during the battle, I won't show any mercy. Please go all out, and I will control my strength to below the third stage of the Palm Blade Technique." Lü Yan said coldly, pointing his spear at Wu Ya.

  "No need, as long as it's not the mysterious energy of the troop leader, I can handle it." Wu Ya said confidently.

  He was confident that anyone, as long as they didn't use the true Body of the Mystic Soldier, would be invincible below the rank of General. Whether it was a sword or a spear, as long as he couldn't take it into his body, he could treat it as if it were a real Body of the Mystic Soldier.

  "Clang......"

  Lü Yan didn't respond, he wanted to verify Wu Ya's words with actual actions. He never doubted anyone's boasts, but he liked to take matters into his own hands to prove them. Lü family spear techniques, even if not the true transmission, were still ten times stronger than Ruo Teng and others, a hundred times stronger.

  Wu Ya no longer needs "Chi Tu" to help him, he has already mastered the spear techniques that he can use at this stage, and they have been fully integrated. However, he also doesn't dare to underestimate the Eighteen Arms Family? What a joke! Even if it's just an outer disciple of the Eighteen Arms Family, they're not someone who can be easily looked down upon. Long-range weapons against long-range weapons, heavy weapons against heavy weapons, spear users are fearless and unstoppable.

  The audience present at the scene were all intimidated by the two's momentum, originally they felt that the smaller one should have been blown away, but on the contrary, it was not the smaller one who retreated, but the bigger one with braids.

  "Wuyue, you have proven your words with your actions, I will use the power of the troops below."

  Lü Yan was shocked and retreated, his face also showing an uncontrollable shock. What kind of terrifying thing is the Seven Stars Halberd? How can it be so powerful that it can turn an ordinary warrior into a halberd master, and he... merged with the halberd.

  No matter what, he must increase his strength to resist Wu Yue's power in order to fully exert the power of his spear.

  The battle resumes, and dust flies in the arena. At this time, many people feel a pity that it would be better if both of them rode their mounts.

  The bustle here has attracted more and more people, but unfortunately, most of them don't understand the art of spearplay, they just watch the excitement.

  At the time of Wu Ya and Lü Yan's great battle, two people walked out from the backyard of the Martial Arts Guild. They were a man and a woman, but they didn't seem like a couple. The man was fat and smiled like Maitreya Buddha, nodding his head and bowing beside the woman. The woman wore a mask on her face, with a white, sleeveless long gown that only revealed a pair of pale hands, which seemed to be connected to the dress. Her mask didn't cover her entire face, but rather exposed the area below her nose, revealing a pointed chin and delicate lips that opened slightly when she spoke, making people want to remove her mask.

  Her lips were pale, as if she had some kind of illness, but upon closer inspection, they seemed to have a subtle luster, not the pallor of sickness, but rather an innate characteristic. Her mask was even stranger, with no openings at the eyes, only two concave areas that resembled eyes, and on top of which were lightly etched two pupil-like marks with a small knife, it was unclear whether she could see the outside world or not.

  "Hmm? It seems like something interesting has happened!" The masked woman's soft and ethereal voice echoed out, sounding as if it belonged to a ghost rather than an angel. If you heard this voice at night, you definitely wouldn't want to open your eyes to take a look.

  "Does the young lady want to go and take a look? There are many masters in Beidou City." The fat man squeezed out a smile, fawningly said, don't know who arranged it, today the young lady suddenly attacked, really caught off guard, only a group of little ghosts making trouble.

  "Hmm!"

  The masked woman nodded, and the two quickly arrived at the arena where Wu Ya and Lü Yan were located. At this time, the arena was already filled with about two-thirds of its capacity, which was extremely rare unless the Martial Arts Association had announced a special event in advance.

  "Alright, quick attack, attack the big guy, pin him down."

  "Too formidable! I've never seen such a powerful spear technique before, who are these people?"

  "It seems like someone from the Lyu family."

  "Lü family, bring it on! The Lü family should be more formidable than this. If one of them is a member of the Lü family, the other should immediately fall to the ground." Someone said disdainfully, with great reverence for the martial arts families.

  Everyone's attention was focused on the two people in the arena, and no one noticed the masked woman and Maitreya. The masked woman quietly watched the battle below, and Maitreya was also slightly shocked, then suddenly overjoyed. As the vice president of Beidou City, he naturally wasn't someone who only knew martial arts without knowing anything about mysterious weapons. His martial arts achievements were naturally not low, and at a glance, he saw through the battle between the two people below. One of them was absolutely from the Lü family, as could be seen from his spear technique.

  "My goodness, the Lü family has arrived at his workplace union, which will definitely improve Miss's impression of him. And there's another formidable one, I don't know if it's someone from the Lü family or not, this technique seems quite unfamiliar."

  "What's going on here?" Maitreya asked the guy who had led Wu Yue and the other two in earlier, but that person just shook his head and only told Maitreya about Lv Yan being a third-level member.

  "Miss, I just asked, the tall one is called Lü Yan, he's from the spear-leading Lü family and was previously a member of our martial arts association. The other one is still under investigation, but it's not unusual for unknown masters to appear in our Beidou City Martial Arts Association. It's really not unusual." Mile smiled and said, looking at the miss in front of him, wondering if she could see or not.

  "Hmm, it's going well." The masked woman said lightly, "This battle should be ending soon too."

  "Is it over? Indeed, Lü Yan seems to have won."

  "No, Lü Yan is going to lose."

  "What, how could it be..." Maitreya muttered subconsciously. How could the Lu family's superior technique be so easily given to others, and yet they still managed to gain the upper hand? But before he could finish speaking, that unknown master suddenly launched a counterattack, a textbook-perfect counterattack, and this time the target was not Luo Teng, but rather the strongest member of the Lu family.

  A string of spear shadows flashed out, enveloping Lü Yan. One strike, two strikes, three strikes... The sixth strike, the long spear in Lü Yan's hand flew out of his grasp. The seventh strike, the spearhead was already pressed against Lü Yan's throat, and with just a slight probe, he would meet his demise.

  "I lost!" Lü Yan said blankly, uttering three words.

  "Hmph, victory and defeat are common occurrences in war, besides, you suppressed the true strength of your general and his troops."

  Wu Yue withdrew his spear, and in his heart, he had a faint realization. He seemed to have a deeper understanding of the spear, and it wasn't just about merging with the spirit of the weapon. Apparently, one still needed to comprehend and practice, and even more so, fight against stronger opponents.

  Merging with the soldier's spirit is just a matter of making him understand the framework of combat; true understanding comes from actual fighting.

  "No, I was originally inferior in technique. I lost in terms of skill." Lv Yan said woodenly, his eyes dull. Just as Wu Ya thought to comfort him, he suddenly made a move that left Wu Ya stunned. He knelt down on one knee, raised his head and said with piercing eyes: "Please point out my shortcomings, tell me why I was counterattacked by you when I had clearly sealed off all your moves."

  I'm late, new week, everyone must work hard, I also need to work hard, asking for votes and bookmarks!
