Chapter 381 Xin, I’m Willing to Give Up!

The training hall of Dawn Castle is located in the middle of the north and south wings. It is usually used as a place for daily training of palace guards.

In their spare time, most of the guards' recreational activities are to compete in skills in the training ground. This is also an activity encouraged by Demacia and is also very popular among nobles.

It was still early, and there were only a few people training sporadically in the dance practice hall.

They nodded and greeted the manager who had just arrived from a distance, and then continued their training.

Li Lin and Zhao Xin stood next to the weapon rack on one side of the hall. There were not many weapons for training on it. Most of them were daggers, daggers, stabbing swords, epees and spears, which were relatively uniform.

These weapons are silver-white in color, with cyan blue handles. They have an elegant appearance, simple and plain designs, and basically no excessive decoration.

On the divided martial arts field, there are many wooden training dummies of different sizes and shapes, or floor-to-ceiling sandbags filled with sand.

Because Li Lin said that he had only mastered basic fighting skills, Zhao Xin felt a little embarrassed at first and decided to give him a courtesy during the later discussion.

But Li Lin said that even so, Xin Zhao might not be able to beat him, and it didn't look like he was bragging, which aroused his curiosity and desire to win.

He clearly knows that his martial arts is ranked among the best in all of Demacia, but he can still say such "arrogant" words...

Xin Zhao was thinking wildly while placing his three-claw spear on the weapon rack.

Although he is best at spearmanship, like many warriors, he dabbles in other types of weapons, including unarmed combat.

Since Li Lin is only good at fighting, he can't hold weapons anymore, so it can't be called sparring.

Xin Zhao glanced sideways at Li Lin, "Let me help you put on the training armor."

Unexpectedly, Li Lin actually shook his head, "No need."

"Can……"

Before he could say what he wanted to persuade, he was surprised to find that Li Lin's clothes suddenly changed, like the densely packed scales of a giant dragon. They were quickly disassembled and reassembled to form a new style, which was exactly the same as the armor on the shelf. .

In fact, Li Lin doesn't need such armor. His "Steel Body" superpower alone is enough.

But in order to make Xin Zhao feel more comfortable fighting with him, without having to avoid too much, he still scanned the armor and changed the form of the clothes.

Next to him, Zhao Xin was shocked and speechless, but he could sense that this was not magic, because he himself had Ioni's "spiritual power" and was very sensitive to it.

Noticing the astonishment of the people around him, Li Lin turned around and smiled at him, "Nano technology, you can simply understand that it is more advanced than Hex technology."

For Xin Zhao, the awkward word "nano" is difficult to understand, but it is enough to know that it is more powerful than Hex.

"There are such miraculous non-magical existences in this world." He sighed with surprise on his face, "I have read various documents in Demacia for more than ten years, and I think I already know the major events in the world... It seems that now I am still a frog in the well, ignorant and ignorant."

"Master Manager, there is no need to be so presumptuous."

The two of them talked while walking to a nearby training ground.

“Nanotechnology is also the latest technology I have developed. Although it has broad application fields in the future, only I can use it at this stage.

“Not even one of the founders of Piltover, the dean of our University at Piltover and a top scientist, Professor Heimerdinger, doesn’t understand this technology.”

Xin Zhao has heard the name Heimerdinger a little bit, and I heard that he has contributed a lot to the research and development of Hex Technology.

Not only that, it seems that he is also a yordle, the same race as Admiral Bobby.

Xin Zhao stood on the other side of the training ground opposite Li Lin, as if he suddenly thought of something.

"I heard from His Highness the Prince that you used a special method to heal the eyes of the Guardsmen that were blinded by magic. Is this the same technique?"

"That's right. Originally, I wanted to perform a similar operation on His Highness's former adjutant, Ted, to help him grow back his broken arm, but he refused."

Xin Zhao was silent for a while, "Ted is a stubborn and dignified person. He must feel that being captured is a stain on his life, and he wants to keep his broken arm as a reminder to himself."

Li Lin nodded silently, not prepared to continue on this somewhat heavy topic, "Shall we get started?"

"Don't you need to warm up?" Xin Zhao kindly reminded, "I have been training for a while before this, so I don't need to, but if you are the one, if you don't warm up first, you may get cramps or strains in the battle later. .”

"Thank you, but I think I don't need it." Li Lin waved his hand, then stretched, "I traveled a lot looking for Zoe last night, so I can stretch my muscles."

It's that Twilight Star Spirit...

Zhao Xin suddenly remembered the incident at the banquet last night.

It seems that Miss Zoe didn’t come back with her?

He still had doubts in his heart, but out of personal responsibility, he would not ask such questions.

"In that case, I will pay more attention."

Xin Zhao took a deep breath, lowered his center of gravity, assumed an offensive and defensive fighting stance, and looked serious.

"You strike first or I strike first?"

"I've always believed that the best defense is offense."

"Okay!" A hearty smile appeared on Xin Zhao's face. Li Lin's statement was very similar to his idea, "The ambition to be trapped in the battle is life or death! What you want is this kind of momentum!"

"Be prepared, Lord Steward!"

Li Lin gave a final reminder, then mustered up all his strength, slightly bent his left leg, and stepped back with his right leg.

Xin Zhao squinted his eyes, always observing Li Lin's movements.

Originally, when both sides were unfamiliar with each other's combat capabilities, the initial attack should be regarded as testing each other.

But far beyond Xin Zhao's expectation, Li Lin, who should have been in his field of vision, suddenly turned into an afterimage and rushed towards him with lightning speed.

How can it be……

The shock in his heart hadn't subsided yet, and his fighting instinct was already frantically reminding him to dodge.

Relying on muscle memory, Xin Zhao subconsciously turned his body sideways, but the pain coming from his shoulder showed that he actually did not dodge the attack at all.

"Well……"

Xin Zhao grunted and was knocked back a few steps by Li Lin's fist, which contained most of his strength. His face was filled with shock.

"How are you?"

Looking at Xin Zhao's look, Li Lin thought that the shot he had taken just now was too heavy.

"No...I'm just surprised why you are so fast."

As the words gradually fell, he opened his mouth, but stopped talking and held back the rest of his words.

Is this speed really achievable by humans?

If Li Lin knew what Zhao Xinxin was thinking, he would definitely laugh and explain: It really does!

Master Yi, the Infinite Swordsman of Ionia, has something to say!

"I have used special methods to strengthen my body. In fact, this is also the first time I have fought against others purely with my physical body." Li Lin explained.

"I can see that you didn't use your full strength." Xin Zhao exhaled heavily, "In this case, there is no need for me to hold back."

"This is exactly what I expected!" Testing the limits of his body was what Li Lin wanted. "Then let's continue?"

"Attention!"

Xin Zhao re-arranged his stance and rushed forward in one stride. His speed was actually not much slower than Li Lin just now!

Although Li Lin was surprised, he was also calmly responding to Xin Zhao's sudden attack.

Xin Zhao knew that his strength was not as strong as Li Lin, who claimed to have received "body enhancement", so he avoided his counterattacks, but every time he seemed to be extremely extreme.

The tip of his fist almost brushed past his face, causing the wind to stun his eyes. His knees and elbows were so powerful that he could even faintly hear the sound of breaking wind.

The two fought without mercy at all, because there was no need for it. They knew that the other party was fully capable of taking over their attacks.

In addition, if Li Lin's fighting skills were not rusty and he was completely inferior to Xin Zhao, he might have been defeated by Li Lin within ten rounds.

The discussion between the two of them quickly attracted the attention of all the guards present and even those who arrived later.

Some people were excited because it was rare to see General Manager Zhao use his full strength, but most people were shocked because someone could actually compete with Xin Zhao.

Even Xin Zhao's own heartbeat kept beating.

How many years has it been...

It has been many years, and I have never met an opponent worthy of a fight!

The last time he faced a life-and-death crisis was when he faced a ferocious and violent shadow bear in the Reckoning Arena.

As fellow liquidators around him fell down one after another, Xin Zhao, who was seriously injured, burst out with amazing fighting power despite the fact that no one was optimistic about him.

Relying on the unique skill Crescent Sweep inherited from his family, he unexpectedly cut off the Shadow Bear's head with the sudden sharp edge of the gun.

That battle was also his battle to become famous.

Xin Zhao is not a competitive person. All the battles in the Reckoning Arena in the past were just for survival, and later for loyalty to King Jarvan III.

But facing an opponent like Li Lin, he couldn't help but feel that his long-dormant warrior soul was rekindling.

"Ah!"

Xin Zhao suddenly retracted his front leg, gathered all his strength, and struck hard with his right fist like a mountain.

But Li Lin gave up his defense as if he was desperate, and just used his right arm to bypass his fist, blocking his arm, and then used a skilled iron backer to knock Xin Zhao away.

Xin Zhao staggered back a few steps, hurriedly regained his breath and adjusted himself, and then shouted: "Happy!"

Immediately after, his eyes were sharp, his muscles were as hard as stone, and he rushed forward again like a sharp arrow from a string.

Li Lin narrowed his eyes and could tell that this was Xin Zhao's final attack.

He didn't flinch, but strode forward and struck with the same straight punch.

Watching the battle, the soldiers who had already held their breath were all guessing who would win this competition.

Is it evenly matched?

still……

However, at the moment when their hard fists were about to touch each other, the two of them restrained their strength at the same time and stopped their fast pace.

The discussion should end at the end.

Li Lin and Zhao Xin read the meaning in each other's eyes, couldn't help laughing at the same time, and moved forward to shake hands and hug each other.

After the two separated, Xin Zhao couldn't help but sigh with emotion, "You are very strong, stronger than anyone I have ever met!"

His words immediately shocked all the Demacia soldiers watching the battle.

To be able to be recognized by General Manager Zhao, this strength...

Before Li Lin could respond, Xin Zhao immediately took two steps back to distance himself from him, lowered his head, clasped his fists with his hands and bowed slightly, saluting in Ionia's warrior etiquette.

"You won this battle...Xin, I'm willing to accept the defeat!"
