However, regarding Zhang Haoran's second opponent, Li Changsheng believed his response was problematic. He shouldn't wait until he had no choice but to act before making a move.
In combat, one must seize the initiative. Even if his Qi and Blood consumption was relatively high, he still had 180 cards left at that time. Plus, after taking a Qi and Blood Pill, he would have recovered at least 10 cards of Qi and Blood within the five-minute betting period.
This would bring his Qi and Blood to 190 cards. Even if the opponent was a Martial Artist who had undergone a second bone tempering, he wouldn't have much more Qi and Blood than him.
Zhang Haoran, at that time, must have been startled when the opponent immediately tried to trade injuries for a kill. Although he was unwilling to admit it, the situation at the time did seem to be like that.
According to Li Changsheng, since the opponent crashed into him, he should have directly drawn his sword. A single sword strike unleashing a hundred cards of Qi and Blood, the opponent would have no way to block it.
Sometimes in battle, the more decisive the move, the better. If there's an opportunity, you must act; don't be indecisive and let the opportunity pass.
The second combat opportunity he missed was when the opponent made their first knife strike.
Since Zhang Haoran had already dodged, he should have immediately counterattacked and struck down the opponent with a single sword.
Instead of waiting until he was forced into a corner by the opponent before drawing his sword.
After all, he lacked experience. All the experiences Li Changsheng shared were extremely valuable.
In Li Changsheng's words, he was more than sufficient for sparring, but too green for life-and-death combat.
Not every opponent needs to have their background thoroughly investigated before acting. Where would you find so many opportunities to do so?
Especially when facing only one opponent. According to Li Changsheng, as long as an opportunity is found, do not hesitate; use your maximum strength and unleash your strongest sword strike.
Unleash as much Qi and Blood as possible in this sword strike. Just make sure to leave yourself alive.
If leaving fifty or sixty cards in the body means you won't die, then that's fine; you can replenish the depleted Qi and Blood with medicine.
Of course, if the opponent is too weak, there's no need to do this.
Afterward, Li Changsheng lectured Zhang Haoran on various situations he might encounter and how to deal with them.
How to judge an opponent's strength, how to identify the quality of an opponent's weapon. During this time, Li Changsheng even brought out weapons of various qualities for him to examine.
He was now considered half a successor to Li Changsheng. When Li Changsheng heard that he had earned 450 million from two battles, his eyes immediately widened.
Zhang Haoran took out a check for 250 million from his embrace and handed it directly to Li Teacher: "Li Teacher. Money is enough for me to spend. Please use this money to equip me with some gear."
Li Changsheng took the check and looked at it; it was indeed 250 million. But now Li Changsheng was in a difficult position.
Zhang Haoran, a First-Rank Martial Artist, already had almost enough equipment. A First-Rank Martial Artist uses a C-grade alloy sword. His shoes are also C-grade alloy boots.
The only thing left to equip would be inner armor. But 250 million is nearly 10,000 academic credits. Equipping a Fifth-Rank inner armor wouldn't cost that much, and equipping a Sixth-Rank one wouldn't be enough.
Li Changsheng thought for a moment, went to the storeroom, took out a set of inner armor, and threw it to him, saying, "This is a Sixth-Rank Peak Stage Yao Beast inner armor. You are only a First Rank, and a C-grade weapon is sufficient. C-grade alloy boots are also sufficient. Just get an inner armor for self-preservation, and you're done."
Of course, he wouldn't agree. If he remembered correctly, in the original work, even Fang Ping's relationship with Li Changsheng still cost 10,000 academic credits.
He took out his bank card, intending to transfer another 100 million. Li Changsheng disagreed. Finally, after they argued for a while, he painstakingly persuaded Li Changsheng to accept another 50 million.
He changed into the Sixth-Rank Peak Stage Yao Beast inner armor. He felt somewhat helpless and didn't know what to say. The reason he hadn't exchanged for inner armor before was the consideration that once he put on inner armor, his Golden Bell Cover and Iron Shirt would be very difficult to improve.
He didn't expect that in the end, he still exchanged for inner armor. But it's good, preserving his life is more important!
Moreover, in the next few days, he was preparing to find Lü Fengrou to activate the mission System and undertake missions to train his combat ability.
After drinking with Li Changsheng for a while, he took out his spoils of war. Two D-grade alloy pieces of equipment, totaling 30 kilograms, had a school selling price of 600 academic credits.
The recycling price would certainly be lower. He was given 500 academic credits. Now, Zhang Haoran's martial arts certificate had 700 academic credits.
He also exchanged for 30 Qi and Blood Pills. He told Old Li to eat them as meals, to save himself the trouble of going out to eat.
This time, Old Li didn't say anything either. This small amount of money was nothing to him. Besides, with his wealth, it was impossible for him to sell it; how much money could that even fetch?
Actually, what Li Changsheng didn't know was that he really did sell them. It's just that what he sold wasn't RMB, but Value Points.
After leaving the Logistics Department, he contacted the System. Only then did he realize that a single Qi and Blood Pill sold for only one Value Point.
Then he might as well keep them. What if someone needed them and he could give them? He couldn't possibly take out his own Bigu Pills, could he?
Zhang Haoran checked the time. He decided to skip afternoon classes.
He first returned to his dormitory and put his wrist guards and mask into his storage space.
He took a shower, changed his clothes, and rinsed off the bloodstains on his shoes.
Picking up his longsword, he returned to the new student training hall and practiced the Basic Sword Technique on his own.
Perhaps it was an illusion, but Zhang Haoran's practice of the Basic Sword Technique today seemed much sharper.
He practiced for a while, and the number of people in the training hall gradually increased.
Some classmates also came to him for sparring, and he welcomed all of them.
Zhang Haoran had just defeated a classmate and was looking for his next opponent.
Suddenly, he saw Fang Ping, Fu Changding, Yang Xiaoman, and several other classmates walking over together.
It turned out they had just finished class and saw Zhang Haoran sparring with someone as they passed by. So they came over to watch.
Yang Xiaoman egged Fang Ping on to spar with him. Actually, Yang Xiaoman knew Fang Ping couldn't beat Zhang Haoran. She just wanted him to beat Fang Ping up.
To prevent Fang Ping from being too arrogant at school. But if everyone couldn't beat Fang Ping, there was nothing they could do.
Fang Ping, of course, immediately refused. Zhang Haoran quickly smoothed things over: "Fang Ping and I are Senior Brothers. We often spar together. It's meaningless to spar here. How about it, Yang Xiaoman, let me see how much you've improved recently."
A Martial Artist does not fear battle, and besides, this was just a friendly match. Zhang Haoran put down his wooden sword.
He exchanged a few moves with Yang Xiaoman empty-handed. It seemed Yang Xiaoman had only focused on bone tempering during this period. She didn't seem much stronger than during the Branch Academy Battle, even though he had tried his best to go easy on her.
Yang Xiaoman also couldn't last more than a few moves against him before admitting defeat.
After sparring with his classmates for a while, Zhang Haoran gave Fang Ping a wink.
Fang Ping pulled him away, and they walked all the way back to the dormitory without speaking. He let Fang Ping into his own dormitory.
After closing the door, Zhang Haoran asked, "How are your arranged fights with the older students going? Any news recently?"
Fang Ping replied thoughtfully, "Those guys made a big fuss at first, but then there was no sound. Everyone has stopped discussing it."
"What do you think about this situation? I always feel like these guys are up to something bad. It's very unsettling."
