On the arena stage, Gu Ding's opponent appeared again. This time, it was a woman.
The woman wore a golden metal mask that covered the upper half of her face, leaving only her mouth exposed. Her attire was also extremely revealing; she wore only a black leather bandeau on her upper body, with no other coverings. Below, she wore a black leather miniskirt, and a pair of black platform heels, nearly twenty centimeters high and inlaid with dozens of colorful gems, sparkled under the lights. "Little brother, I just watched your match. It was very exciting."
"Thank you for the compliment." Gu Ding looked at the information displayed about his opponent with some curiosity. It was all question marks. ID name, number of matches, number of wins, combat ranking... all information was displayed as question marks. "Why is all your information displayed as question marks?"
"That's because I deliberately hid it, little brother." The Masked Woman's lips curved slightly, and she didn't seem to be in a hurry to attack Gu Ding. "What, are you interested in my identity?"
"No, it's just the first time I've seen this kind of situation, so I asked casually." Gu Ding shook his head. This woman looked like she was not a simple person, and he didn't want to provoke her.
The Masked Woman said leisurely, "I've seen someone use a similar body technique before, little brother. Seeing you use it this time, it seems a little different, and I can't help but feel a bit itchy. How about we spar a bit, just touching upon it?"
While they were talking, Gu Ding carefully observed his opponent and came to only one conclusion – this woman was extremely dangerous. Although she seemed to be standing there casually, there wasn't the slightest flaw to be found, and Gu Ding couldn't even determine the strength of her aura. This could only mean one thing: the opponent's strength was not on the same level as his. Even in this virtual arena, where their cellular composite indices were the same, it was not difficult to discern that the opponent was a true martial arts expert.
"Alright." After silently assessing the opponent's strength in his mind, Gu Ding decisively agreed to her request to spar lightly.
The Masked Woman casually took off the black long whip hanging from her belt, smiled slightly at Gu Ding, and then flicked her wrist, sending the whip out. A black shadow flashed through the air, as swift as lightning. Gu Ding took a step with Shadow Step, dodging the attack. Just as he was about to counterattack, he found that the black shadow was like a living creature, pursuing him again with the speed of lightning. Gu Ding was slightly surprised. The opponent had only made one attack, yet it had this effect. He took another step with Shadow Step. But something strange happened. This dodge seemed to have no effect at all. The whip shadow completely ignored his footwork changes, as if it had broken through spatial constraints and was pursuing him.
"Huh?" Gu Ding now knew how powerful this move was. He dodged six times in a row, pushing the six forms of Shadow Step to the extreme, but the whip shadow was like a maggot attached to bone, impossible to shake off. Just then, a realization dawned on him. Taking advantage of this opportunity, I'll practice my footwork. This virtual body has a cellular composite index of 100 points, which should be enough for me to use some subsequent moves without my body collapsing.
Thinking of this, he took the seventh step of Shadow Step according to the subsequent descriptions of the Limitless Body Technique in his memory. However, since it was the first time he had used it, his movements were a bit clumsy. It was just that momentary flaw that the whip shadow took advantage of, "crack," and struck Gu Ding's back. Almost simultaneously, the Gale Body, which was for defense, activated. The whip shadow directly tore through the Gale Body's defense, sending Gu Ding's figure flying.
With a "boom," Gu Ding's figure slammed heavily into the protective shield, leaving a long crack on his back. This blow almost eliminated Gu Ding directly, making him break out in a cold sweat.
"Looks like I hit a little too hard..." The Masked Woman didn't seem to have done it intentionally, muttering to herself in a low voice.
Gu Ding slowly climbed up from the ground. From the opponent's attack just now, it seemed that she could instantly kill him with one move. His back was a relatively strong defensive position. If that blow had landed on a vital spot, he would have been eliminated on the spot. Even so, if he were hit by this level of attack two or three more times, even if it wasn't a vital spot, he would probably turn into data fragments and be sent out of the arena.
"Little brother, you're injured like this, do you still want to continue?" The Masked Woman asked with a slight smile, and he didn't know what meaning was hidden in her smile.
Gu Ding grinned, "Of course I want to continue. I still have many moves I haven't used yet."
Having finally encountered such a powerful opponent to test his moves against, Gu Ding naturally wouldn't let go of this opportunity. Not to mention that the opponent didn't have any ill intentions towards him, even if she did, he wouldn't easily give up this chance to test his moves.
As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Ding's feet suddenly exerted force, and he took the seventh step of Shadow Step. This time, there was no longer any clumsiness. Facing an opponent who was good at long-range attacks, Gu Ding began to actively attack. As long as the opponent was close to him, he had hope of winning.
What terrifying comprehension! Just now, when he used that move, it was so clumsy, clearly the first time he had used it. This second time, there are no flaws at all. The Masked Woman couldn't help but be a little surprised. Her hand movements didn't stop, and she whipped out again, this time with much less force.
Seeing the whip shadow coming, Gu Ding also took the eighth step of Shadow Step. This step was standard and had no problems. Then he took the ninth and tenth steps consecutively. When he reached the eleventh step, he felt a sense of clumsiness again. Seeing the whip shadow about to fall, Gu Ding threw a punch, directly meeting the whip shadow.
"Boom!" When the two collided, Gu Ding was knocked back several steps this time, leaving a red mark on his fist, but there was no crack like the one on his chest before. Glancing at his fist out of the corner of his eye, he knew that the opponent had deliberately restrained her strength.
Is she deliberately trying to let me test my moves? Gu Ding raised his eyebrows. He didn't know what purpose the opponent had in coming, but this attack showed her attitude – this match was just a spar.
Knowing this, Gu Ding naturally didn't hold back anymore. He knew that his strength was insufficient, and with such an excellent opportunity to train, he naturally couldn't easily let it go. He swung his fist and went up to meet her again.
He was whipped by the whip again and again, and forced back by the opponent again and again. The battle between the two on the arena had lasted for more than two hours. Gu Ding was panting, and although he had never touched a single hair on the opponent, he had made remarkable progress.
Shadow Step had been learned up to the fifteenth form, Adamant Fist had reached the fourteenth form, Ghost Foot had reached the twelfth form, Thunder Elbow and Flame Knee had both been learned up to the ninth form, and even the most difficult to cultivate, Gale Body, had entered the second form of cultivation.
"Your mental energy has been consumed too much. It's meaningless to continue." The Masked Woman also knew that although the arena didn't consume physical strength, two hours of continuous combat consumed a considerable amount of mental energy. The two hours of combat also allowed her to determine that Gu Ding's genetic level would not exceed the second order, so the intensity of his mental energy could also be easily estimated.
Gu Ding also knew that the opponent was not lying. His progress had reached a bottleneck. It wasn't a problem with comprehension, but rather that the load on his mental energy had reached its limit, and continuing to hold on might result in being forcibly kicked out of the virtual arena. However, he was unwilling to admit defeat just like that.
Looking at his eyes, the Masked Woman seemed to have noticed this, and her lips curved up again. "Little brother, you don't want to admit defeat, do you? How about this, you let me kiss you, and I'll admit defeat. And, there's a gift too."
"I think her suggestion is good." Sea Emperor, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke when he heard this suggestion.
Gu Ding was silent for a moment. Thinking about being taken advantage of by a woman, he felt a little unhappy. "I admit..."
Before he could finish speaking, Gu Ding found that his body was completely unable to move, not even able to make a sound. The Masked Woman's lips curved slightly as she slowly walked up to Gu Ding and pressed a flawless white finger against his lips.
"You'd rather admit defeat than let big sister kiss you, is that right?" The Masked Woman lowered her head and whispered with a chuckle in Gu Ding's ear, "Big sister won't just kiss you, she'll also..."
As she spoke, the Masked Woman's lips kissed Gu Ding's cheek, leaving a red lip print. Then she straightened up and gave Gu Ding a strange smile. Afterward, she put her hand around the back of Gu Ding's head and pushed forward forcefully. Gu Ding's face was instantly buried between the Masked Woman's two ample breasts.
"Wow..." Almost all the male spectators in the stands gasped in unison, saliva dripping from the corners of their mouths in envy.
