Of course, it was also the most effective.
“Yes.”
Casio had nothing to hide, he was planning to unleash all of his power, to overturn teacher Lixia’s perception of Li Wei all at once. Not only to extend their time in the Era of Retrospection, but also for Casio’s own will.
Last Retrospection lasted for a whole six months, during which Casio and Lixia shared profound bond, even transcending a student-teacher relationship into something like friends. In this Retrospection, he also wanted to reestablish this kind of connection.
With a swoosh, Casio jumped off the ground.
Lixia, who was facing him directly, had a faint smile on her face. She took a few steps to one side and raised her hands in a boxing stance.
Casio also mimicked the move as a sign of respect for his opponent.
“Careful!”
There is a spark in Lixia’s eyes. All of a sudden, like a cheetah, she leaped forward, quickly closing the gap between herself and Casio. Her fist was swung like a whip.
The punch was extremely fast, with no intention of pulling any punches. It traveled with a whoosh, heading hard at the chest.
Casio was highly alert, there was no room for negligence against an expert like Lixia. With a swift step backward and an obstructing hand swinging across, he cleverly parried the fist.
Oh?
Casio reacted faster than she expected. His execution of the counter-move was quite decisive without any waste of motion. Very impressive, Lixia noted with a gleam in her eyes.
“Again!”
She gave out a gentle shout, and her body lunged forward. Despite Lixia’s petite frame and lightweight, a dull but resonating rumbling sound echoed when her feet hit the ground. It imbued a form of an elephant thrashing violently about.
Her rapidly swaying arm cast a black shadow in mid-air.
Casio’s pupils dilated, every inch of his muscle was tense. Force surged to his arms like water flow. He punched out with a smack, creating an unclear phantom image that wreaked havoc like a furious wind. Amazingly, in that instant, he executed two Explosive Techniques simultaneously.
Speed burst, strength burst, together!
Bang!
A prominent thud echoed in the quiet room.
A surge of airflow huffed out, the durable combat suits of Lixia and Casio quickly inflated and deflated, then ripped apart with a pop at the seams, scattering pieces everywhere.
“Good!”
Even though Lixia’s offensive push was halted, she couldn’t help but wear a satisfied expression. An excellent Wind Elephant Basic Combat Technique! The ability to execute speed burst and strength burst at the same time requires fundamental skills.
“Your turn.” Lixia parried Casio’s arm and fully engaged, not holding back anymore. Her combat suit surprisingly swelled a bit, as if air was circulating rapidly between skin and the fabric. Intense body heat dispersed into the air.
Pop pop pop pop …
Lixia continually threw her punches, circling around Casio with astonishing speed, as if she had a thousand hands.
Casio was frantically blocking punches and shifting his position. He alternated between speed burst and strength burst during the attack, or even combined them in times of crisis.
He’d given it his all. His breathing quickened as fatigue hit, and sweat soaked his back and forehead. The relentless pressure from the repeated attacks appeared to be never-ending, with fists coming from all directions in difficult trajectories.
Some of them were blocked by Casio, but others he couldn’t react in time to.
His body was pummeled by a downpour of punches. A growing sense of sharp, tiring pain began to spread throughout his body. The significant drain of his energy was starting to show, as his concentration could no longer keep up with Lixia’s moves.
Swoosh!
Casio glimpsed a hand knife attacking from the corner of his eye and firmly seized the opportunity. He retreated, creating some space. He stomped several times and, with a violent surge of muscle power, threw his punch.
Fist collides with palm, Casio felt his right hand went numb. Then a shadow flickered on his left, followed by a sharp pain on his shoulders.
His face turned pale. He clenched his teeth and staggered back a few steps, sucking in a few deep breaths before steadying himself. Casio glanced at his trembling right hand.
The hit that was countered left a throbbing numb pain in his hand.
He looked up at Lixia who was standing across from him. She clenched and then relaxed her fist. Her mind buzzed with shock and excitement.
Such a fast reaction speed! During the fierce combat, Lixia didn’t show any mercy nor consciously lower the speed of her punches to be on par with Casio’s. Her punches were extremely fast, completely dominating Casio.
However, despite being fully suppressed, Casio could barely keep up, blocking at least half of the attacks! Plus, he even tried to counter-attack, although unsuccessful. Given the current state of his physique, his quick response was well ahead of his level.
Different from the core bone, reaction speed is a part of battle talent, relatively difficult to improve, yet crucial.
Lixia felt a slight surprise. This reflected that Li Wei’s overall potential was of a higher level, enabling him to go further in the martial arts.
Naturally, compared with his reaction speed, what fascinates her more was the unbelievable solidity of Casio’s Wind Elephant Basic Combat Technique.
The best proof was the frequent use of burst techniques.
During the counter-attack just now, Casio used burst techniques dozens of times. Moreover, he could quickly alternate between the two burst techniques or even simultaneously execute both!
Even Lixia herself couldn’t achieve this level of mastery in the Wind Elephant Basic Combat Technique . Only old boxing masters who incessantly grind their basic combat techniques as they’ve reached a hopeless end within the secret martial art would have this kind of feeling.
“Li Wei…” Lixia exhaled heavily: “Your performance today was beyond my expectations! I don’t mean to pull any rank, but as my first disciple, I want to say that I’m very happy, extremely happy!”
She stood in the sunlight, bearing contentment, appearing admirably like a winter jasmine flower growing on the edge of a cliff.
On the other hand, Casio managed a weak smile. Of course, he was happy too, except for his physical pain hindering his mood.
In the heat of the fight, adrenaline might have erased the pain. But as he began to calm down, Casio started feeling the prickling pain all over his body.
Also intense sour numb sensation in the muscles around his joints. Even though he has already reached the peak of the third level in the Wind Elephant Basic Combat Technique, frequent muscle bursting will still bring significant side effects.
“As long as you are happy, teacher…”
Casio wanted to smile, but the result was a sharp grimace.
“Hahaha, your whole body aches, right? I might have overdone it a bit earlier. Wait here, I’ll get some medicine.”
Saying so, Lixia pushed the door open and left.
What do you think?
