Night Training

Wang Xun's words completely froze Soi Fon's movements. She slowly turned her head, her eyes filled with astonishment.

Why doesn't this person play by the rules?

According to Soi Fon's planned process, she should make the suggestion, and if Wang Xun agrees, she should then politely indicate that she will arrange another time.

After a polite farewell, she went back and carefully planned a training schedule that was available to both of them, and would formally inform them a few days later.

This is the logical approach, and it gives her enough time to prepare mentally.

But now, Wang Xun has skipped directly to the final step.

"I..."

Soi Fon opened her mouth, her brain racing, instinctively trying to come up with an excuse.

For example, there are team affairs to handle, such as planning training content, and dealing with situations where I'm not in good form today...

But looking into Wang Xun Xun's calm yet expectant eyes, all those excuses suddenly seemed pale and powerless.

She is not a good liar.

Moreover, her own deep-seated urge to test her abilities and break through her limitations was also stirring within her.

There are indeed no team duties today.

Soi Fon finally spoke dryly, her voice a octave lower than usual.

At the same time, she quickly glanced around. Fortunately, no one seemed to notice what was happening on their end.

"But aren't you being a little too hasty? You seem even more anxious than I am..."

"Of course, why delay an opportunity to become stronger?"

Wang Xun spoke with reason and evidence, his eyes open and honest.

"Besides, don't you want to complete the development of this ability as soon as possible?"

Soi Fon hesitated several times, but in the end, she couldn't resist her obsession with becoming stronger and nodded in agreement.

"Alright, come with me."

Led by Soi Fon, the two headed to a relatively secluded training ground.

When the two arrived, there were only a few scattered official team members spontaneously training in the training field.

When someone noticed Soi Fon entering, they glanced at her subconsciously.

Soi Fon's diligence was among the best in the Punishment Force; she often practiced late into the night, so they didn't pay much attention to it.

But when they noticed that there was another person following Soi Fon, they suddenly realized what was happening and their eyes widened in surprise.

Although there are regular training camps, Soi Fon has never been seen calling on anyone individually for private training sessions.

What's going on...?

However, neither of them noticed the change in the expressions of the training team members in the distance.

Soi Fon, seeing Wang Xun looking around, began to explain.

"This is the training ground for the Punishment Force Corps Commander 'Executive Militia; there will be fewer people here."

In fact, Wang Xun had also figured it out. After all, the debris all over the ground proved that this was not an ordinary training ground for team members.

[Gained 12 Reiryoku Fragment, +120 Spiritual Might Experience]

[Gain 25 Hakuda Tips, +250 Hakuda Experience]

[Gained 18 Shunpo Tips, 180 Shunpo Experience Points]

Wang Xun took a stroll, stretched his body a little, and felt the increasingly powerful Reiatsu within him.

Spiritual Might is just one step away from breaking through to the seventh level.

It looks like we'll break through today.

At the same time, the increased body control brought by his level 5 Hakuda skill also filled him with anticipation for the upcoming training.

Wang Xun turned to look at Soi Fon.

The expression on her face had returned to its usual coldness.

But if you look closely, you can also see a trace of awkwardness and unnaturalness lingering deep in her eyes.

Soi Fon walked to the center of the field and stood a few meters away from Wang Xun.

She did some simple movements, stretching her torso.

Her movements caused the fabric at her chest to tighten slightly, revealing the gradually developing curves of the young girl's body.

"Since we're exploring techniques, we'll focus on direct Hakuda and try to incorporate Kidō- style Reiatsu manipulation."

"The key is not winning or losing, but feeling the flow and changes of Reiatsu as it erupts in the body during a fight."

She paused for a moment, then gradually regained her training rhythm.

"I won't deliberately suppress your Reiatsu. You can attack or defend with all your might, and feel free to express your feelings at any time."

"Clear."

Wang Xun nodded, his mind completely focused on the upcoming training.

"Alright, let's begin."

The moment the words left her lips, Soi Fon moved.

She charged forward, her right fist striking straight down, the knuckles brimming with Reiatsu.

Wang Xun intently on the trajectory and Reiatsu flow of that punch, slid to the side, and raised his hand to block.

The instant their arms touched, he clearly felt the tension in Soi Fon's forearm muscles and the fluctuation of that special Reiatsu.

At the same time, I also caught a very faint smell, different from the dusty smell of the training ground.

Soi Fon did not immediately create distance after her attack. Instead, she used the force of the collision to turn around and strike Wang Xun's ribs with her left elbow at a more tricky angle.

The turning motion caused her back to almost brush against Wang Xun's chest, her short hair lightly brushing against his chin.

Wang Xun dodged to the side, his attention entirely focused on the point where the Reiatsu of that elbow strike was concentrated.

"This time, the Reiatsu burst from the elbow is further back than in a punch, is it to coordinate with the power during the turn?"

"Right."

Soi Fon's voice came from very close by; she had moved to Wang Xun's side, and the two were now standing almost side by side.

"But the connection isn't smooth enough. Can you feel the sluggishness in the flow of Reiatsu?"

As she spoke, she tried again, this time a low sweep followed by a high kick.

While blocking, Wang Xun sensed the attack, and the instant his sweeping leg was blocked, Soi Fon's upward kick arrived.

"Stop."

Wang Xun stopped Soi Fon's movements.

To get a clear view of the complete changes in the Reiatsu in her legs, Wang Xun pressed his face close to her calves.

He placed his left hand lightly on the outside of her calf, getting a closer feel for the coordination between muscle exertion and the surge of Reiatsu.

This movement caused Soi Fon's body to stiffen noticeably.

"Here."

Wang Xun was completely oblivious to the location issue, focusing intently on pointing to a certain spot on her calf.

"At the peak of the kick's power, there's a slight dissipation of Reiatsu. Is it because the flow of Reiatsu is somewhat blocked at this point...?"

Through his training clothes, he gestured with his fingers towards Soi Fon's calf as he spoke.

Soi Fon abruptly pulled her leg back, the movement so fast it created a gust of wind.

After she stood still, her chest rose and fell almost imperceptibly. Her face was expressionless, but her earlobes were already tinged with a thin layer of red.

Wang Xun:?

You have a very accurate eye.

Soi Fon looked away, trying to keep her voice steady.

"The Reiatsu there is indeed somewhat unstable."

Wang Xun was completely unaware of anything amiss; on the contrary, he became quite excited because he had found the key to the problem.

"Want to try again?"

"Do it in slow motion this time, so I can take a closer look."

Soi Fon stared at him for two seconds and saw that his eyes were clear and open, full of focus.

The inexplicable panic in her heart subsided somewhat, replaced by a sense of annoyance.

Am I being a little too sensitive?

"Okay, let's do it again."

Soi Fon took a deep breath and resumed her stance.

This time, she deliberately slowed down her kicking motion.

Long, slender legs traced clear paths through the air, the training pants stretching with each movement, outlining powerful lines.

"Stop, this is it."

Wang Xun moved very close, his gaze fixed intently on every inch of the aura of Reiatsu flowing from her thighs to her calves.

Although his Hakuda skills may not be as strong as Soi Fon's, his understanding of Kidō far surpasses Soi Fon's.

"When the Reiatsu flows here, do you subconsciously want to use a wrapping method? But Hakuda's power is projectile, so the two rhythms conflict."

Wang Xun raised his hand and pressed lightly; the warmth of his palm emanated through the thin fabric of his training uniform.

Soi Fon froze in place once again.
