Sparring with Soi Fon
That night, Wang Xun stepped into the training ground of the Second Division again after a long absence, only to find Soi Fon already standing in the center of the training ground.
Her Punishment Force uniform accentuated her tall and straight figure, making her every move exceptionally sharp, and her short black hair danced in the wind.
Her forehead was covered in a fine layer of sweat, indicating that she had been training for some time.
Noticing Wang Xun's arrival, she looked up, a barely perceptible hint of joy flashing in her eyes.
Then, seemingly realizing his own emotions, he hurriedly suppressed them and looked at Wang Xun with a cold face.
"You've finally arrived! I've been waiting for you for so long."
"By the way, there's been a result regarding the matter where someone tried to frame you."
Soi Fon paused for a moment, then slowly recounted what happened next.
"Lady Yoruichi said that the Captain Kyōraku discovered that this matter was related to the Tsunayashiro Clan, and the matter has caused quite a stir."
"Later, the Captain Kyōraku made a special trip to the Central 46 Chambers to finally settle the matter, and the Tsunayashiro Clan lost a lot of face as a result."
"Among the people you brought back, there was one named Nagano. I heard he died in the Ninth Division's prison."
Upon hearing this, Wang Xun simply nodded slightly, his expression remaining completely unchanged.
If it really Tokinada who made the move, then silencing him is perfectly normal.
Unlike the Fourth Division, which had its own reminders, the Ninth Division seemed to have been somewhat careless.
As for the entanglements of the Tsunayashiro Clan, Yoruichi, Kyōraku, and others will handle them.
His most pressing task right now is to improve his own strength and fill up the experience bars for all his attributes.
Seeing his nonchalant attitude, Soi Fon gently stretched her body.
She was already used to Wang Xun's indifferent nature, so she simply stopped talking and her Reiatsu suddenly increased.
Wang Xun also adopted the same starting stance as Hakuda.
"What, is there new progress in the development of the Shunkō system?"
"Not bad, I'd like to see if you've fallen behind in Hakuda training these past few days in the Fourth Division."
The Soi Fon punch ripped through the air, carrying a concentrated Reiatsu as it struck, its angle still sharp and tricky.
Compared to before, her skills have improved even more, clearly showing that she hasn't been slacking off these past few days.
Wang Xun's eyes narrowed, and he became more cautious. He skillfully executed the Shunpo, his figure flashing like a ghost.
At the same time, he raised his hand to block and counterattack, his movements simple and precise, showing no signs of being at a disadvantage.
The sounds of fists and feet clashing rang out densely on the training ground as two figures darted past each other at high speed.
The shockwaves generated by the collision of Reiatsu spread outwards, stirring up pebbles and fallen leaves from the ground.
Soi Fon grew increasingly alarmed as he fought, beads of sweat gradually forming on his forehead.
She had already used 80% of her strength, enough to suppress an ordinary official team member.
Wang Xun, however, seemed to be handling the situation with ease, and even launched sharp counterattacks from time to time.
Soi Fon was filled with disbelief.
Three months ago, when Wang Xun first joined the Second Division, he was barely holding on to her.
But now, it's not far off, if not even evenly matched.
It's important to know that she hasn't slacked off during this time, and with the added boost from developing Shun'etsu, her strength has steadily improved.
Even so, they were unable to completely suppress Wang Xun.
Wang Xun's strength increased at a visible rate, almost under her watchful eye.
Such a rate of growth is simply unbelievable.
Feeling Wang Xun's increasingly intense attacks, Soi Fon found it increasingly difficult to defend herself.
This can't go on...
She gritted her teeth, and her Reiatsu suddenly surged.
The Reiatsu nodes on his shoulders and back were operating wildly, and the Reiatsu of the Kidō surged towards his back, unleashing an aura far beyond the ordinary.
With a low shout, Soi Fon's figure transformed into a blur.
Her fist, enveloped in pale blue Kidō flames, slammed towards Wang Xun with terrifying force.
Wang Xun dared not be careless at all, and pushed his Reiatsu to the limit, crossing his arms to block.
Bang!
The immense force struck, Wang Xun was involuntarily sent flying backward. He staggered back several steps before regaining his balance, his chest heaving with surging blood.
Soi Fon used the recoil to leap backward, the attack having depleted much of her Reiatsu, leaving her breathing slightly rapid.
"Fine, so you're going to cheat, huh?"
Wang Xun shook his aching arms and strongly condemned Soi Fon's behavior of resorting to drastic measures when she couldn't win.
Seeing Wang Xun fly backward, Soi Fon's tension eased considerably, and a slight smile appeared on her lips.
Just then, a gentle breeze blew by, Soi Fon suddenly felt a chill on the back of her shoulder.
It turned out that when the Shun'etsu occurred, the Reiatsu impact on the shoulders and back was too great, and the outer layer of the Punishment Force uniform was directly torn apart.
The fabric slowly slid down, revealing the backless battle armor that Yoruichi had given her underneath.
The dress fit her figure perfectly, showcasing her slender yet strong waist and upright shoulders.
Only the slightly loose fabric at the chest billowed gently in the breeze.
Soi Fon didn't notice at first, until she felt Wang Xun's strange gaze lingering on her, and then she belatedly realized what was happening.
Soi Fon looked down and saw her own reflection clearly.
Her face flushed instantly, and she quickly crossed her arms to protect her chest.
As she covered herself, she glared sharply at Wang Xun, her voice carrying a hint of embarrassment and anger.
"What are you looking at!"
Wang Xun was taken aback by her rebuke and quickly turned his head away, feeling quite embarrassed.
He then came to his senses, his tone carrying a hint of innocence.
"Nothing was shown, why can't we look?"
Soi Fon, feeling both embarrassed and agitated, kicked up a stone from the ground and flew towards Wang Xun.
Wang Xun dodged Shunpo, and the two playfully wrestled for a while, gradually dissipating the awkward atmosphere.
After a long while, the two gradually calmed down.
Soi Fon returned to the inner room to change her clothes, and her expression returned to calm, except that the tips of her ears were still slightly red.
She and Wang Xun sat on the wooden stakes in the training ground, gazing at the starry sky.
During their casual conversation, Soi Fon's tone carried a hint of helplessness and distress.
"Speaking of which, the development of Shunkō has hit another bottleneck."
She slowly began to speak, revealing her predicament.
"Although the direction is correct, the completion rate of the Kidō technique is improving very slowly, and the stability of the Reiatsu gathered at the shoulder and back nodes is insufficient."
"To truly master the instant, it will probably take a considerable amount of time to explore and figure it out."
Wang Xun looked at her slightly worried expression and raised an eyebrow to ask.
"Aren't you going to ask the captain for some pointers?"
After all, Yoruichi had already mastered Shun, and with her guidance, Soi Fon would definitely be able to avoid many detours.
Soi Fon shook her head without hesitation, her eyes firm and stubborn.
I will not rely on Lady Yoruichi.
"This ability is one I chose to develop myself, and I want to perfect it completely through my own efforts."
As she spoke, she glanced at Wang Xun gently, her tone softening.
"Therefore, the process of sparring with you is especially precious to me."
"Every time I spar with you, I can find my weaknesses and figure out the techniques for circulating Reiatsu more quickly."
She paused, a hint of doubt flashing in Soi Fon's eyes as she looked at Wang Xun.
"In fact, you were involved in almost the entire process of developing this skill, and you learned and improved during each practice session."
"How's your progress? Have you figured out the tricks of Shun'etsu yet?"
Upon hearing this, Wang Xun's heart stirred, and he silently opened the system panel to look at the unlock conditions for Shun.
[Hakuda: Iv5 (Experience: 7680/8000)]
[Kidō: Iv6 (Experience: 320/12000)]
It's just one step away from unlocking.
He put away the panel, a mysterious smile on his face, and said calmly.
"The progress is not bad, better than you expected."
Soi Fon looked at his cryptic expression, her doubts deepening.
However, she didn't press for details, her eyes filled with skepticism.
"Yeah?"
Wang Xun smiled without saying a word, already looking forward to when Hakuda reached Iv6 and the Shunkō was unlocked.
I wonder what kind of expression Soi Fon will have at that time.
