Was Fu Yuan trying to destroy flowers with his bare hands?
No, no, no, this was respect for the enemy.
Because holding back was looking down on an opponent.
If Fu Yuan had held back against Scáthach, she would have been even more enraged. She was fighting him with such focus, and he was going easy on her?
Therefore, giving it his all was the true sign of respect for Scáthach.
Queen Scáthach of the Land of Shadows was a seasoned warrior, not some weak woman who could be easily struck down. After feeling that suffocating sense of danger from Fu Yuan, she had already prepared to dodge.
Thus, as she faced a fist that distorted space itself, Scáthach sharply twisted her slender waist, narrowly evading Fu Yuan's Inch Force: Heaven Splitter.
Riiip~
Although Scáthach dodged Fu Yuan's punch, the sheer force of the wind generated by his fist tore through her form-fitting outfit, revealing…
Scáthach's chest skin flushed slightly, and crimson blood began to seep out…
Unbelievable!
While Scáthach's dark purple form-fitting outfit appeared as thin and fragile as gossamer, it was actually materialized from the magical energy within her.
Therefore, the clothing woven from Scáthach's magic was incredibly tough; ordinary blades and spears couldn't even scratch it.
And now it was torn apart by this man Fu Yuan's fist… no, it was torn by the wind from his fist!
The missed Inch Force: Heaven Splitter transformed into a gust of wind that shot forward.
This wind, like an invisible air cannonball, blasted fiercely ahead.
Boom!
A sound like thunderclap exploded. Wherever the wind from Inch Force: Heaven Splitter passed, trees were instantly crushed, and the ground of Mount Ensō violently cracked, as if an earthquake had struck.
Just the wind from Fu Yuan's single punch inexplicably carved a straight, concave path ahead.
The wind generated by Fu Yuan's Inch Force: Heaven Splitter was already comparable to an anti-fortress Noble Phantasm.
If one were to be hit directly by Inch Force: Heaven Splitter… one wondered if any flesh would even remain.
After Fu Yuan threw this punch, the Honkai System's voice rang out in his mind.
[Acknowledgement from Queen Scáthach of the Land of Shadows has been received.]
[Daily Quest completed.]
[Quest rewards have been delivered. Please check your inventory and Crystal tab.]
Hearing the System's pronouncements, Fu Yuan's heart leaped with joy. He had completed this highly rewarding Daily Quest and obtained the Shadow Knight: Moon Halo character template, along with 2800 Crystals for a ten-pull.
Happy May Day~ And please vote for me~ Apple has an unlimited bounty now!
Chapter 30: Thank You, Sister, I'm All Better Now
After dodging Inch Force: Heaven Splitter, Scáthach successfully created distance from Fu Yuan. Having regrouped, she paid no mind to her exposed fair skin and prepared to attack Fu Yuan again!
After all, in a heated battle, who would care about their torn clothes…
But Fu Yuan no longer wanted to fight Scáthach. He had already achieved what he set out to do; the Daily Quest was complete, and furthermore…
Fu Yuan was a 'passionate man,' and he… couldn't quite handle the 'scenery' Scáthach's exposed skin presented.
Scáthach's chest clothing was torn, with crimson blood seeping out. The bright red blood against her snow-white skin, combined with the transparent sweat from the battle…
It formed a scene that could be called a 'killer of virgins.'
Seeing Scáthach charging at him with full force, Fu Yuan, who had turned his head away, quickly raised his arm and held up his palm towards her. "Wait a moment, our spar ends here."
"What?!"
Scáthach, who had stopped instinctively, looked at Fu Yuan, who had turned his head. She was looking at him with disbelief, wondering why Fu Yuan would say such a thing after she had only just counterattacked.
"I said it ends here. If we continue, we'll both have to get serious."
If Fu Yuan and Scáthach were to get serious, it wouldn't be a simple matter of torn clothes and minor abrasions.
To spar with one's heart is to court death.
A true duel is no easy undertaking; it is a gamble of both parties' beliefs.
Therefore, it should not be initiated lightly.
And once initiated, one must kill the other in a single exchange.
Fu Yuan and Scáthach had no enmity. Their battle was merely a friendly spar, a point of contention. If they didn't stop now, they would have to go all out.
Fu Yuan, who had been defending and deflecting attacks, would now go on the offensive.
And Scáthach herself would unleash her Noble Phantasm, an existence capable of delivering a single killing blow.
"Isn't getting serious a good thing!" Scáthach, who yearned for 'death,' glared at Fu Yuan.
Scáthach's wish was to find someone who could kill her in a head-on battle. She had felt a fatal sense of danger from Fu Yuan's punch just now.
If they got serious, Fu Yuan might very well kill her.
This… was what Scáthach longed for!
So when Fu Yuan turned his head and said it was time to end the fight, Scáthach couldn't take it anymore!
Now, Scáthach stared intently at Fu Yuan like a predatory tigress, her bewitching beautiful eyes revealing a certain emotion towards him.
That emotion was called 'unfulfilled desire'.
Scáthach's body was burning and her blood was boiling from fighting him; she was completely unable to stop. So... you're telling her you're done playing now??
You stirred her up until her whole body was burning, and now you say you want to stop!
Vroom vroom... such a fast vroom vroom.
"You were the one who challenged me!"
"And you're the one who wants to stop halfway through. Are you toying with me!" Scáthach, eager to continue, pointed her weapon at Fu Yuan and said.
"I thought of you as a woman..." Fu Yuan said helplessly, turning his head away from Scáthach. "So hurry up and fix your chest."
