Survival of the Nation: I Can Specify the Items That Will Drop
Chapter 413: Sparring
Su Yurou also stood up, walked to the table, lifted the Wind-Whisper Golden Bracelet with both hands, and gently placed it on her left wrist.
The moment the bracelet touched her skin, the transparent wind spirit stone flickered slightly, and a pale cyan light flashed across her wrist.
She looked down at the bracelet, unable to suppress the smile on her lips, and said in a soft voice: "Thank you, Lord."
Lin Feng waved his hand and leaned back in his chair. His gaze swept over the two of them, his tone casual but with a hint of seriousness.
"Ye Lan, Yu Rou, I heard you've been sparring with Zhao Hu, Tie Dun, and the others these past few days. Did you gain anything from it?"
Jiang Yelan nodded, her voice cool and clear: "Yes. Tie Dun's defense is much steadier than before, Feng Qingyan's Flame Burst rhythm has quickened, and Yu Rou's healing and Purification are becoming increasingly synchronized."
Su Yurou smiled and added softly: "With Big Sister Ye Lan's Phantom Flying Blade combined with Poison Blade Tempering, Brother Tie Dun simply can't hold out."
"And Big Brother Zhao Hu—once the curse from his Axe of Resentful Poison is applied, he can recover health on his own, which significantly reduces the pressure on my healing."
Lin Feng's gaze swept past Jiang Yelan and Su Yurou, then turned to Jiang Zhaoyue, who was sitting at the head of the table on the right.
Jiang Zhaoyue was sipping tea from a cup. Feeling his gaze, she set the cup down and raised an eyebrow slightly.
"Let's go, let's have a spar as well."
Lin Feng stood up, picked up his Wildfire Spear from the side of his chair, and slung it across his back.
"The three of you should also try coordinating in the air."
Su Yurou shook her head with a smile: "Lord, you're so strong, how could we possibly win?"
Lin Feng adjusted the collar of his Golden Scale Mountain-Suppressing Armor: "It's just a spar. Besides, you have a warrior, an assassin, and a healer—that's a pretty good configuration."
He paused, "Let's set the terms of victory: if I can break through your three layers of shields, I win. How about that?"
The three of them exchanged glances, their eyes igniting with fighting spirit.
Jiang Zhaoyue picked up her silver moon sky spear from the side of her chair, a beautiful curve forming on her lips: "Fine, let's give it a try."
Jiang Yelan stood up without a word, but her fingers were already resting on the hilt of her blade.
Su Yurou hugged her bone healing staff tightly, took a deep breath, and nodded.
"Let's go, to the West Gate."
Lin Feng strode out of the Council Hall, pushed off the ground, and shot into the air.
Jiang Zhaoyue, Jiang Yelan, and Su Yurou followed closely behind. The four figures rose into the air in front of the Council Hall and sped off toward the West Gate.
Five miles outside the West Gate, at an altitude of three hundred meters, the four figures hovered in the air, divided into two sides. Lin Feng stood alone on one side, while Jiang Zhaoyue, Jiang Yelan, and Su Yurou stood on the other.
Below, the Golden Ear Plain stretched out under the sunlight, golden waves of grass rippling with the wind.
Lin Feng held his Wildfire Spear horizontally in front of him and called out to the opposite side: "Are you ready?"
Jiang Zhaoyue pointed her silver moon sky spear diagonally toward the ground, and the Valkyrie Aura silently spread out.
Jiang Yelan's figure became blurry in the air, gradually merging into the blue sky.
Su Yurou gripped her bone healing staff tightly, a pale purple Mana Shield flowing around her, and the runes on her spiritual headband shimmering slightly in the sunlight.
The three of them nodded simultaneously.
"Start!"
Jiang Zhaoyue was the first to move.
She kicked off the air, thrusting out her silver moon sky spear. The moon-phase patterns on the spear tip shimmered with a cold luster in the sunlight as she lunged straight at Lin Feng.
While in the air, she constantly shifted her position—dashing left, dodging right, ascending, and diving—changing her location every second.
Lin Feng did not retreat. He thrust his spear repeatedly, five times per second, each strike precisely hitting the shaft of the silver moon sky spear, neutralizing Jiang Zhaoyue's attacks one by one.
Sparks flew, and the clanging sounds were as dense as raindrops.
Jiang Yelan's figure vanished into the air; there was no sound, no presence, and no afterimage.
【Shadow Step】 — She slipped into the shadows and emerged behind Lin Feng, her shadow moon blade stabbing toward his lower back.
Lin Feng turned to the side and swept the butt of his spear horizontally. The shadow moon blade collided with the spear shaft—clang! Sparks erupted.
Ye Lan did not retreat. While in the air, she waved her right hand, and the Phantom Flying Blade flew from her grasp.
A crescent of shadow energy headed straight for Lin Feng's face. Lin Feng reacted extremely quickly, dodging to the side, and the blade grazed past his shoulder armor.
Jiang Zhaoyue seized the opportunity to lunge forward, thrusting out her silver moon sky spear — 【Silver Light Cross Slash】!
The first thrust was aimed at Lin Feng's chest; Lin Feng raised his spear to block—clang!
The second thrust came from below, the spear tip aiming straight for Lin Feng's jaw.
Lin Feng leaned back, the spear tip flying past his chin.
Lin Feng's lips curled slightly upward. He was no longer defending passively and kicked off the air.
The golden light of his zhutian war boots exploded in the air, leaving an afterimage — 【Meteor Flash】.
The next second, he appeared behind Su Yurou.
The damage bonus from Wind-Treading Combo was activated, and his spear tip pointed directly at Su Yurou's shield.
But Jiang Yelan's reaction was also fast — 【Shadow Flash】, her figure instantly moved behind Lin Feng, and the shadow moon blade stabbed toward his back.
Lin Feng had to abandon his attack on Su Yurou and turn to block.
Jiang Zhaoyue charged from the front. The Silver Moon Spear Radiance flew from her hand, turning into a streak of light that struck Lin Feng's shoulder armor, -400.
Jiang Yelan appeared again from the flank, the shadow moon blade hacking toward Lin Feng's left rib.
Lin Feng dodged to the side, the blade edge grazing past the armor plates.
Jiang Yelan used the momentum to spin, the second strike coming from below. Lin Feng pressed the butt of his spear down, blocking the strike.
The two crossed paths in the air, and Jiang Yelan slipped into the shadows once more.
Jiang Zhaoyue had already charged up, her silver moon sky spear thrusting repeatedly, every strike aiming for Lin Feng's vitals.
Lin Feng parried left and right, his spear shadow like a wall, blocking all the attacks.
But he gradually realized that Jiang Zhaoyue's attack rhythm was quickening, and the angles were becoming increasingly tricky. Dealing with her frontal suppression and Jiang Yelan's flanking sneak attacks, while also staying wary of Su Yurou healing them from the rear, was increasing his pressure.
Lin Feng took a deep breath and activated the Shadow-Treading Life-Breath of his Shadow-Treading Windchaser Leggings. 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂
Evasion rate increased by an additional 30%, lasting for thirty minutes.
His figure became even more elusive in the air. Jiang Zhaoyue's silver moon sky spear missed twice, and Jiang Yelan's shadow moon blade also slashed through his afterimage.
Each time he successfully dodged, he immediately recovered 3% of his maximum health, his health bar slowly rising amidst the fluctuations.
Jiang Zhaoyue saw through Lin Feng's intent and changed her tactics.
She no longer pressed the attack but circled on the periphery. Silver Moon Spear Radiance condensed in her hand, and a spear formed of moonlight flew from her hand, flying in a straight line toward Lin Feng's chest.
Lin Feng dodged to the side, the spear radiance grazing past his shoulder armor.
Jiang Yelan's Shadow Step cooldown was up. She slipped into the shadows again and emerged directly above Lin Feng, the shadow moon blade pointing downward as she dove toward Lin Feng's crown.
Lin Feng looked up and thrust his spear tip upward—clang! The shadow moon blade collided with the spear tip.
Jiang Yelan used the recoil force to flip backward. While in the air, the Phantom Flying Blade shot out again, the crescent of shadow energy heading straight for Lin Feng's face.
Lin Feng tilted his head, the blade grazing past his ear.
Lin Feng did not give them another chance to catch their breath.
He kicked off the air, and the golden light of the zhutian war boots exploded in the air — 【Meteor Flash】. His figure instantly vanished from the center of the three-person encirclement and appeared less than two meters behind Jiang Zhaoyue.
The damage bonus effect of Wind-Treading Combo condensed on the spear tip, and the Wildfire Spear thrust out, aiming straight for Jiang Zhaoyue's back.
Jiang Zhaoyue reacted extremely quickly, blocking with her silver moon sky spear in a backhand motion. "Clang!" Sparks flew, and she was knocked back several meters.
Lin Feng did not give her time to react; the second strike followed immediately, the spear tip thrusting repeatedly, five times per second.
Jiang Zhaoyue raised her spear to block, but Lin Feng's attacks were too fast and too dense. The third thrust passed through the gap in her block, the spear tip striking her shoulder armor, -950.
The fourth strike was a horizontal sweep, the spear shaft slamming into her waist and ribs, -720.
