Chapter 983. Attacking and Defending Practice
Han Sen froze. He did not expect Nangong Han to ask him to perform something on stage alongside him. But with the eyes of every student now on him, he could hardly decline.
“Tutor Nangong, how can I be of service?” Han Sen asked, as he ascended the stage.
Nangong Han smiled and answered, “Oh, do not worry. I am going to execute a few basic moves. It is your task to react to them as any other ordinary combatant would.”
“Okay.” Han Sen nodded.
“Tutor Han and I will now show you how to defend! The most important thing regarding defense is to never rest on your laurels. For a stalwart defense, you must consider everything you have ever learnt. And when confronting the attacks of another, you must pay specific heed to their center. Even demigods have to move when they cast a skill, and through keen observation, you can always tell where their movements will take them.” After this, Nangong Han threw a punch in Han Sen’s direction.
Qin Xuan and many others watched this intently. She, in particular, had believed there to be something amiss with Nangong Han’s request for Han Sen to go on stage. But now, it was too late for her to do anything.
Upon seeing a fist suddenly hurtling towards Han Sen, Qin Xuan looked afraid.
Qin Xuan knew the people from Martial Hall were not fond of Han Sen, but this entire event had been set up by the Qin family. She believed the concerns and moaning of the elders from Martial Hall would simply remain as verbal complaints. She never thought that things would escalate to a full-blown fight. Things had already gotten off to a shaky start, it appeared.
Nangong’s purpose, currently, was to humiliate Han Sen. He presented a facade of friendliness, and pretended to consider Han Sen as a colleague before the audience, but there was resentment inside Nangong Han. And embarrassing Han Sen on stage was his cloak-and-dagger outlet for this resentment.
