Miss Yerika has not been doing well recently. Unlike the male students, Yerika, who is undergoing the same special courses, is naturally subjected to training specifically for women, which is clearly not a pleasant experience.
This can be seen from her increasingly gloomy eyes. In the sparring session the day before yesterday, her opponent was severely injured by her and is still in the hospital, perfectly missing this assessment. If nothing unexpected happens, that unlucky fellow will be eliminated this month.
"Go, meow! Little Brother Louis!!"
From below the stage, Xiluo cupped his hands around his mouth and shouted loudly, "Take down that woman!!"
"Just surrender,"
Louis ignored Xiluo and said softly to the woman opposite him, "You can't win against me."
Months ago, Yerika was easily defeated by Louis, and now the gap is even wider; it's no longer a contest between equals.
"..."
There was no reply. Yerika clenched her fists, her eyes fixed on Louis.
"Is that so?"
Louis nodded slightly, "Understood."
"Match, begin!!"
With the instructor's command, Yerika leaped into the air, Geppo!!
In an instant, the woman's well-toned body shot into the sky. Having learned from the last lesson, she had become wiser and proactively created distance from Louis.
"Hmm?"
Louis's eyes narrowed slightly, "No progress."
Miss Yerika's proficiency with Geppo seemed to have barely improved since months ago. If that's the case...
"Swish swish swish swish!!"
In the air, Yerika's legs whipped out, and several crescent-shaped slashes whistled out, Rankyaku!!
"That explains it."
Louis nodded gently. Having learned from the previous lesson, she knew to create distance and use ranged attacks against him. Her proficiency with Rankyaku, however, was already quite high.
But...
"Boom boom boom boom boom boom!!"
The whistling slashes covered Louis from all sides, instantly shattering the solid ground.
"What? This level!!"
Below the stage, Stuart exclaimed, "Did this guy only train Kami-e?"
Louis's performance was astonishing. He didn't dodge Yerika's attacks; the slashes grazed past him but couldn't touch his body. It wasn't because Yerika deliberately missed, but because his body twisted like a snake, with every air current causing his body to dodge.
He was controlling the wind!
"It seems that's all there is to it."
Louis's body became almost like a sheet of paper, then slowly returned to normal. "Then this is it."
"Whoosh!!"
His figure instantly disappeared.
"Bang!"
Only then did the air belatedly let out a sonic boom.
"What a beautiful Geppo!"
Outside the arena, the instructor marveled, "This kid!"
Although it was also Geppo, the difference in execution varied from person to person. Louis's Geppo was no longer just Geppo. With his extraordinary control, when he incorporated some techniques from Soru, his speed soared to its limit. Everything in his vision blurred, and the woman's body was already within arm's reach.
"Die!!! Rankyaku Hyakufuu!!"
Yerika screamed hoarsely, her legs a blur. She had indeed put a lot of effort into Rankyaku.
"Boom!!"
A gale swept through the air, and the violent slashes left Louis no room to maneuver.
"Kami-e - Wind Rider."
He could feel the wind. His entire body's hair, controlled by Life Return, was exceptionally sensitive, allowing him to perceive every wisp of wind distinctly.
His body twisted, and Louis's form began to change with the wind, even becoming a black line. He actually...
penetrated the Rankyaku storm through the tiny gaps in Yerika's slashes.
"It's over!"
His body shot out, instantly rising to a height slightly above Yerika. Louis raised his right leg, "Tekkai!"
"Whoosh!!"
His right leg chopped down sharply, aimed directly at Yerika's head.
Yerika wasn't idle. She raised her arms, blocking her head.
"Dong!"
Yerika's head took a direct hit, turning into a black line that blasted into the ground, creating a crater with an explosive impact. Only after a brief silence did smoke begin to billow up!
"What? What just happened?"
Discussions erupted from the sidelines. "Didn't Yerika block it?"
"How did she get hit?"
"As expected of Little Brother Louis Meow!"
Xiluo opened his eyes slightly, grinned, and said, "He's amazing Meow."
"It's Kami-e!"
Stuart gritted his teeth. "The moment my downward chop was blocked, I used Kami-e on the part of my leg that was blocked. It became completely powerless. After my leg bent, it still hit Yerika!"
"No, no way? Partial Kami-e?"
"And at such a critical moment?"
"Even more importantly, he used Tekkai and Kami-e simultaneously! Using two completely opposite techniques at the same time, that's too strong!!"
"No, as expected of Louis!! He's a monster!"
"This brat!!"
Stuart listened to the surrounding chatter, his eyes fixed on Louis.
"Why!!"
Louis heard a woman's voice and looked down. She hadn't lost consciousness yet. She was shouting hoarsely, her head bleeding, looking terrifying. She desperately grabbed Louis's trouser leg. "Why can men bully women!! Why must women's destinies be controlled by men!!!"
She seems like someone with a story.
"You're mistaken,"
Louis kicked away her hand gripping his trouser leg. It got blood on it; it looked like these pants were ruined. "There's no difference between men and women, only between strong and weak."
The woman froze slightly.
"Winner, Louis!!"
The battle was over.
Next were a few uneventful fights, best described as a contest between weaklings.
Then, the main event finally arrived: Xiluo versus Stuart!
For months, Stuart had been considered the strongest person in the entire training camp. A few days ago, he privately tested his Dao Force value with an instructor, reaching thirteen hundred points. He was overwhelmingly strong in this training camp, reportedly having learned four of the Rokushiki techniques, a man with no weaknesses!
But Xiluo was no simple opponent either. He hadn't revealed any Rokushiki techniques yet and always had a smiling demeanor. However, in the previous three assessments, the person eliminated had always met him in the first round of combat, unable to participate in subsequent assessments, exiting with zero practical combat points. He was a dangerous man in all aspects.
"Ah, Mr. Stuart,"
Xiluo's expression was troubled. "Please go easy on me Meow. Little Brother Louis hasn't lost a single match so far, and I don't want to lose Meow. How about I give you ten million Belly afterward? That's a huge sum Meow!"
"No need,"
Stuart grinned. "You'd better save it for your medical expenses."
He was never a magnanimous person. He had to be first in everything: strength, influence, prestige, reputation, and talent. Moreover, he didn't need a second place to exist.
"That's a real shame Meow."
Xiluo scratched his head, troubled. He said:
He said: Do you know Pirate Spy Shadow?
Stuart replied as a matter of course: Of course, it's that novel where the protagonist is strong, the author is poor, and the readers are handsome, right?
Xiluo sneered: I heard you didn't give it a recommendation yesterday?
Stuart panicked: How can you falsely accuse me! Things forgotten can't be counted as not given, about CP9
Xiluo added: This book has already been signed, but you didn't give any tips either!
Stuart fell silent.
Xiluo said: I will immediately make you understand the consequences of not collecting, not recommending, and not tipping!
