Chapter 168 Elanna: It's not... It's not because of Brother Qing (10K, 60/76)_6
And so... a successive series of side kicks as he turned.
Instantly, three students were sent flying and fell to the ground, unable to get up.
Sweeping Kick.
One student hit the ground, thudded, and passed out.
A straight kick as he spun around.
A student who quietly approached Kael with a long stick was instantly kicked away, the stick flung from his grasp.
"You little rascal, thinking of playing dirty?"
Kael didn't hold back, a left hook kick throwing him off balance.
Then followed by a chopping kick with the right leg.
Down and unable to rise.
Upward parrying strike.
He punched a student in the face, who instantly covered his face and didn't look back up.
Low sweep kick.
Kicking the abdomen, the student clutched his waist and went silent.
With a fluid motion, Kael dragged down then delivered a side kick, draining them of their resistance.
Small joint capture.
Kael twisted the student's arm behind his back, instantly dislocating it.
A pivot and follow-through.
The student still clutching his arm was sent flying in an instant.
Side kick.
...
High kick.
...
Elbow strike to break locks.
...
Grapple and hold.
...
Straight leg intercept.
...
Right hand groin grab.
A student's cry of pain was faintly heard.
...
A high leg intercept, a straight right punch, a high side kick.
The physically strongest student finally fell, and for a moment, the field was strewn with bodies, cries of pain everywhere.
The Royal Knight Academy had many young knight aspirants, but clearly, they were no match for Kael.
Soon, Kael's actions at the Royal Knight Academy drew the attention of many interested parties.
Kael's crisp and efficient intercepting made a middle-aged knight watching the commotion crack a smile of approval.
It had been many years since he last saw a young person so adept at using their own advantages in combat.
Such sharp and decisive movements made his heart itch with a desire to step up and test Kael's mettle himself.
It didn't matter how badly his apprentice had been defeated; it was simply the sight of a young person skilled in combat that filled him with an impulsive joy.
He stopped the other students who were eager to jump into action and decided to have a fair duel with Kael.
Limited by the authority of the Knight Instructor himself, those students groaning on the ground and slowly trying to get up for a counterattack had to forcefully halt their movements in frustration.
Although Kael was a little surprised that the instructor also intended to take action, initially thinking that some instructor unaware of his own status was trying to stand up for his student, a glance at the instructor's eager eyes instantly made him realize his mistake.

And so, the two of them took their stances.
Kael took a quick look and soon noticed the instructor's orderly footwork, which clearly gave a sense of incredibly stable lower body, and guessed that the instructor was adept at leg techniques.
Indeed, as the instructor approached to make a move, he feinted with his fists and immediately launched a kick.
Kael crossed his arms to block the Knight Instructor's right roundhouse kick, then leaned back to avoid the high sweep of his right leg.
Then the instructor immediately turned around, using the momentum of a rear swing kick to aim high at Kael.
Kael used his left hand to block the first kick and then swatted away the second kick with his right hand as the Knight bent his leg to snap it back.
Logically, the power behind a kick after turning over should be huge, and most of the time one hand would not be enough to block it.
But the instructor's turn into a three-link kick change, even after accelerating the turn, the first two kicks were fast but predictable.
Add to that the fact that the instructor was not Earl Campbell, whose physical strength had increased, he was far behind in terms of bodily conditioning.
The real danger was the third kick; the downward strike with leg armor had a sense of Earl Campbell's heavy attacks. However, since Kael had already seen similar moves, he simulated an evasion in his mind the instant he saw it.
He immediately executed a side flip, using the force of the flip to sweep away the instructor's attack with a kick.
Seeing this, the Knight Instructor immediately switched to a high sweeping kick with his left leg, which the still-turning Kael blocked with his left hand.
The Knight Instructor swung out another heavy right leg for a high sweep, which Kael unabashedly defended with his right hand, deflecting the attack once more.
The instructor, true to his title, had rich combat experience and followed a feint with an immediate spinning back kick.
The sound of rushing air filled the dueling ring.
With such a forceful attack, Kael had no intention of blocking it head-on and turned to evade the strike.
The Knight Instructor immediately raised his right leg to attack Kael's upper body, while Kael turned and accelerated to deliver a heavy blow to the bottom of his foot.
The Lion Heart itself had given Kael incredibly strong attribute enhancements, after all, he had experienced many battles in his previous life and was very skilled.
He knew that the sole was a sensitive and vulnerable part of the human body, and an attack there immediately caused the instructor's face to contort in pain.
What Kael didn't expect was that, even after suffering such intense pain and with his expression twisted, the Knight Instructor still chose to use leg techniques against Kael.
After a leap, there was a front kick followed by high sweeps from the left and right, but Kael, with his exceptional combat talent, had already seen through the instructor's attack pattern. Pretending to be driven into a corner by the instructor, and as Kael "could not dodge in time," the instructor suddenly kicked downwards with his right leg.
Kael, who had already figured out the Knight Instructor's method, quickly shifted his angle and with his flexible body performed a perfect evade. His spinning body stepped on the dead angle of the wall, turned, and delivered a high-flipping counter kick, pushing back the Knight Instructor.
Then Kael quickly closed the distance and approached the Knight Instructor, whose body, twisted in pain, was visibly taller than Kael by many years but was now unable to stand straight because of the pain, and was even shorter than the still-growing Kael.
This time, Kael did not launch another attack. He simply performed a courteous knightly salute and said,
"Sir, thank you for the lesson."
"What a Baron Helois, just with this complete set of responses alone, I can say that among all the young people at the Royal Knight Academy, when it comes to combat experience, no one could be your match..."
What the Knight Instructor didn't say out loud was that the majority of knights at the Royal Knight Academy were also far behind Kael in terms of battle experience.
The Knight Instructor's face showed a hint of a younger generation surpassing the old, aware that his own tactics had been clear-cut with no room for a turnaround.
Perhaps noticing the instructor's disappointed gaze, Kael consoled him, "Actually, in close combat, you truly have a wealth of experience. But perhaps you rely too much on your leg techniques; when facing troublesome opponents, you can't help but fall at a disadvantage.
Maybe you could try enhancing your elbow strikes to shore up your defensive weaknesses after closing in."
