Chapter 10: The Battle with Old Man Luo (Part I)
On the beach, the grandfather and grandson looked at each other.
Two months of hard training have added a healthy wheat color to Luo Miao's fair skin, and at this time, looking at the old man Luo in front of him, a trace of seriousness appeared in his eyes.
Combat practice, this is the best way to test his own cultivation results.
All theoretical exercises must be able to be truly applied in practice, and training carried out under the premise of no guarantee is meaningless.
Luo Miao's seriousness is not for anything else, it is purely to prevent the blue nose and swollen face from being beaten by Old Man Luo, for the actual combat, Old Man Luo really did not let go of water, he should be beaten, and he should never use his palm when he should use his fists.
Old Man Luo said: "Grandson, in order to prevent the fairness of the battle, Grandpa, I will suppress the level of my attack to the level of a first-order mage. You don't have to think about keeping any hands, your little trick can't hurt your grandfather and me, so don't worry!"
Luo Miao nodded, of course he knew about this, after all, so many times his nose and face were swollen had already taught him this truth.
"Well, here we are!" reminded Old Man Luo.
As soon as the words fell, the shadow under Old Man Luo's feet became extremely black, and then separated left and right and rushed towards Luo Miao along the ground, and the moment he approached Luo Miao's side, two black shadows suddenly stretched out a few pitch-black shadow thorns!
Except for a reminder, there was no hint, he didn't say his own department, and he didn't give any way to deal with it, Old Man Luo simulated the real battle with the enemy to the greatest extent, and he wanted to see how to deal with Luo Miao when facing an enemy he didn't know anything about.
Luo Miao's black pupils reflected the several shadow thorns that were attacking him, and also reflected an ice shield that was constantly condensing.
When several shadow thorns were about to approach Luo Miao, the ice shield finally condensed.
The burst of shadow spikes was about to pierce the ice shield when they suddenly turned around at an almost 90-degree angle, perfectly avoiding the freezing block.
A few shadow spikes turned a corner again and stabbed towards Luo Miao behind the ice shield!
Luo Miao didn't expect this situation at all, there was no time for him to make a means of defense, and in the face of the shadow thorn that was enough to pierce his weak body, the results of Luo Miao's months of training finally appeared.
Realizing that these shadow thorns would stab straight into his body, Luo Miao's body had already made dodge movements on his own before his mind could open.
The body formed a shadow spike large enough to dodge the gaps between them, and then the shadow spike instantly plunged into the ice shield, making a shattering sound.
Looking at these shadow thorns that were close at hand, as if he could feel the chill above, the cold sweat on Luo Miao's forehead suddenly appeared.
It's so dangerous, grandpa is really heavy this time, and if he wants to be pierced, he will really be opened.
The magic power flowed rapidly in his body, and the air around him began to turn cold, Luo Miao's hands touched the body of these hard shadow thorns, and the low temperature froze a section of these shadow thorns containing the magic of the shadow into ice.
Luo Miao slammed it hard, and the shadow thorn that turned into ice suddenly shattered, and he temporarily escaped the attack of the shadow thorn.
The attack was not over yet, and the shadow thorns that had been frozen for a while had not received any effect at all, after all, they themselves were just a non-illusory and non-physical substance derived from the shadows by magic power, and the shadow thorns extended their length to stab towards Luo Miao again.
Luo Miao completely reacted at this time, and his body jumped to the side, dodging the attacks of these shadow thorns in time.
Stepping away, Luo Miao stepped on the sand and ran, trying to avoid the attacks of the shadow thorns behind him.
The cold qi on his hand condensed, and an ice spear with the tip of the spear at both ends appeared, holding this ice spear, Luo Miao threw it vigorously in the direction of Old Man Luo.
Old Man Luo easily blocked this useless attack with a shadow thorn, but it was followed by a rapid rain of ice arrows.
Is this little trick trying to distract me? It's not going to work for me.
Two shadow tentacles extended from Old Man Luo's shadow, and under his control, these two shadow tentacles blocked the attack of this rain of ice arrows without missing anything.
"Click!"
The sound of ice arrows shattering was heard constantly, stirring up some ice chips that glowed in the sunlight.
On the other hand, Luo Miao, who had relied on the attack of the rain of ice arrows to successfully distract Old Man Luo's attention temporarily, destroyed several shadow thorns that had been following him all along.
The magic condensed, the ice steps rose, and he quickly climbed to the top of the ice steps several meters high, Luo Miao stepped on the ice with both feet, and suddenly jumped forward.
Old man Luo, who had been following Luo Miao, who had been following the constant movement, suddenly shone into a strong sunlight in his eyes, although he didn't subconsciously close his eyelids after years of combat experience, but his vision was obstructed, making him unable to see Luo Miao who jumped in the air.
Relying on the oblique sun and a certain height, Luo Miao successfully made Old Man Luo, who had been looking at him, look directly at the strong sunlight, which would definitely make Grandpa's vision blur for a moment!
At this moment, Luo Miao seized the opportunity, and a two-meter-wide ice cube with a cold body suddenly condensed and fell towards Old Man Luo not far away!
Although the sunlight made Old Man Luo's vision blurry for a second or two, it didn't mean that Luo Miao's attack could work.
At the moment of being affected, Old Man Luo's figure slid backwards, avoiding the huge ice that fell with a bang.
Of course, Luo Miao didn't expect these small means to attack his grandfather, this was just to pave the way for him to do the next.
The cold air in his hand came out, condensed into a long popsicle, and inserted it vertically into the sand, Luo Miao held the cold popsicle in both hands and slid down, unloading most of the falling speed, otherwise even with the physique of a mage, falling from a height of several meters would hurt his ankles.
The pitch-black shadow stretched over, Luo Miao clenched the popsicle with both hands, stopped his body that was slipping down, kicked his feet the popsicle, and used the short distance to dodge the shadow spurs that appeared.
"Click!"
This was the sound of a popsicle breaking under the attack of the shadow thorn, and Luo Miao's body fell without support.
Another huge block of ice condensed, smashing down towards Luo Miao's approaching shadow thorn that was constantly in mid-air.
Several shadow thorns in the pitch black were smashed by the ice, and Luo Miao, who was constantly falling, took this opportunity to fall on the ice block he had made.
Without hesitation, facing the shadow thorns that attacked him again, several ice thorns burst out from the soles of Luo Miao's feet and shattered these shadow thorns.
The black shadow suddenly dissolved, like some kind of liquid passing through these ice spikes with gaps, Luo Miao's eyelids jumped, he didn't expect the attack of these black shadows to be so weird and fast.
Before he had time to think about it, the magic power in his body was quickly mobilized by the crisis of the outside world, and the air around Luo Miao's body began to turn cold, and these pitch-black shadows that seemed to have turned into liquid had already been frozen into a piece of ice by Luo Miao who touched them before they could completely turn into a solid shape again.
There was a hot sensation in the palms of both hands, accompanied by some pain and wetness.
Luo Miao was injured, and although his body's reaction speed was already very fast, it was still inevitable that he would suffer some trauma under the attack of these black shadows.
The surrounding ice spikes and a black shadow that was frozen into ice blocked Luo Miao's sight, but this did not affect his judgment of Old Man Luo's location.
Long ice spears condensed in mid-air, and then shot towards Old Man Luo's position at a rapid pace under Luo Miao's control!
"Click!!"
The sound of ice cracking kept ringing, and it seemed that these attacks did not work, but Luo Miao's goal had been achieved, and before dealing with these numerous ice spears, Old Man Luo did not distract himself from attacking Luo Miao again.
Therefore, by distracting Old Man Luo's attention with a few steps, Luo Miao approached Old Man Luo's surroundings as he wished.
In most battles with mages, attacks aimed at attacking the opponent themselves are necessary, while in low-level mages, it is necessary to be very close to the opponent and engage in hand-to-hand combat if necessary.
Keeping in mind these teachings of his grandfather, Luo Miao is now learning and applying them, he knows that his grandfather is a very strong mage, otherwise it would never be possible to leave the cities that are equivalent to the shelter of most human beings and live alone in this wilderness.
Fighting against Old Man Luo, who has a lot of combat experience, is purely looking for abuse.
Therefore, Luo Miao wanted to approach Old Man Luo's side and engage him in close combat.
Do you want to engage me in close combat? It's not a wise choice, I've taught you all these skills.
The black shadow under Old Man Luo's feet stretched out a shadow thorn and held up the ice spear waved in Luo Miao's hand, and the two suddenly collided, making a dull sound, this time, the shadow thorn did not break, and the ice spear did not break.
Seizing the gap time of Luo Miao's attack, the black shadow under Old Man Luo's feet stabbed out several pitch-black shadow thorns.
Luo Miao didn't let Old Man Luo succeed, and several ice thorn flowers burst out from the soles of his feet, and the cold ice thorns suddenly blocked the attack of these shadow thorns.
The pitch-black shadow changed again, from a hard solid state to a liquid state, and suddenly passed through the ice spikes that held them back.
However, Luo Miao had already taken precautions this time, and these black shadows that had turned into a mess had already turned into ice cubes before they could really get close to Luo Miao's side.
Holding the cold ice spear in his hand, Luo Miao flexibly passed through these ice spikes, facing the old man Luo who had already entered the attack range of his ice spear, he clenched the ice spear and waved it with all his might!
