Chapter 1356 - 1356
Xu Wenkang's responses were almost flawless, making it difficult for the two to gain an upper hand over each other.
After a while, Su Fan was thoroughly convinced that if they went all out, it would take a long time to determine the victor between him and Xu Wenkang.
But this was, after all, a sparring match, not a life-and-death duel.
So his ensuing swordsmanship began to continuously change moves.
Xu Wenkang's expression changed slightly.
He couldn't help but think to himself, "Damn, I didn't expect his breath to be so long-lasting!"
His original plan was to wait until Su Fan's energy was exhausted before suddenly striking back.
But Su Fan practiced Tai Chi; the True Qi of martial arts was deep and incredibly enduring.
Under such circumstances, it's hard for him to be exhausted, giving Xu Wenkang no chance to seize the moment.
Furthermore, he could use the fetal breathing method of Tai Chi to transform his martial arts True Qi.
This caused Xu Wenkang to be constantly breaking moves defensively.
Su Fan continued his relentless attack, while Xu Wenkang could only defend passively.
No matter how impeccable his defense was, as long as he couldn't counterattack and remained suppressed by Su Fan, Su Fan was already in an undefeated position.
Xu Wenkang was well aware of this reasoning.
So he was diligently attempting to counterattack, but his efforts yielded little effect under such circumstances.
In battles between experts, many tiny details can determine the outcome.
Xu Wenkang's heart had sunk completely by this point.
The gap between him and Su Fan was not large, but there was still a slight difference.
Between attacking and defending, he was more adept at attacking than defending.
Currently, competing with Su Fan with his weak point left him with no chance of winning.
As Su Fan's continuous sword slashes came down, Xu Wenkang could only block them more reluctantly.
"Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish!"
The waves of sword light flew up and down, seemingly without end.
After a while, Xu Wenkang, expressing helplessness, leapt into the air, retreating from the platform.
He sighed heavily and said, "I concede this round!"
If he wanted to hold out, he could have persisted for a long time.
However, the defeat was inevitable, and there was no point in continuing.
After all, winning two out of three rounds ensures the final victory.
Given this, there's no need to care about the gains and losses from one battle.
After Xu Wenkang admitted defeat, this round between the two came to an end.
Next, Zhou Hongnong, the referee from the Chinese Martial Arts Association, also invited Su Fan and Xu Wenkang to engage in a second bout.
Su Fan and Xu Wenkang once again faced each other.
Su Fan remained as calm and composed as ever, extremely tranquil.
Xu Wenkang felt a bit stifled from his recent loss and duly absorbed the lessons from not long ago.
"Ha!"
With a sharp shout, Xu Wenkang opted for an offensive maneuver.
"Swish! Swish!"
The spear technique he employed was not just any, but the renowned Five Tigers Soul Severing Spear!
"Roar——"
Alongside displaying his spear skills, roars resembling those of tigers in the mountains echoed continuously.
Facing Xu Wenkang's assault, Su Fan took a defensive stand.
His martial arts were principally composed of Tai Chi True Techniques.
Compared to attacking, he was more skilled at defending.
To be precise, he was adept at countering, or using defense as attack.
"Clang!"
Xu Wenkang suddenly thrust his spear at Su Fan's heart, only for Su Fan's Cold Spring Sword to slash out, easily warding it off.
After the spear thrust, Xu Wenkang withdrew the spear and stabbed again!
"Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish!"
Afterwards, Xu Wenkang fought with increasing vigor, unleashing a series of attacks.
Facing his accelerating offensive, Su Fan remained exceptionally calm and composed.
"Ding ding dang dang!"
Su Fan wielded the Cold Spring Sword, casting a series of sword shadows.
No matter how formidable Xu Wenkang's offensive was, he consistently maintained a flawless defense.
