29 Testing Out Her Limits (1/2)

At the ground level of the lake, Hongyue slid her right foot to a sharp turn as her hands exerted the strength to shift her body up. As she flung her body upwards, she bent her hands in sync to provide her a better rotation. Her red garments fluttered about keeping out of her way yet it highlighted her sharp moves. Using the distribution of the weight from the turn, Hongyue lashed out her leg and kicked with all her strength to her front.

Her eyes glowed eagerly with a murderous light.

As her leg passed the border of her air bubble between the water surrounding her, the water outside pulled back as if driven backward by something in full force. A small cloud of air bubbles formed rapidly around the area she kicked as if it was confirming her strength. A slight hiss sounded her accomplishments.

Moments later. A loud boom echoed under water.

A section of the dirt floor kicked up swirling in disorder as it was hit by her power, turning muddy.

Hongyue smiled.

Not bad.

Not bad at all.

She pushed her right hand against the floor and bounced herself upright again.

Hongyue had been practicing relentlessly for hours now. She was slowly testing her limits and pushing through, trying to understand the extent of this body. In any case, she didn't want to overestimate her strength and give her enemy an advantage in any shape or form. She nodded in approval as she completed another move successfully.

It was honestly not bad, all of these moves had all been meant to kill. Exercising them out underwater would improve the body's condition and allow her to build more strength. The most important part of practicing these skills was not to just improve her strength but also her speed. When it comes to hand-to-hand combat, speed could outrank strength if used correctly.

Hongyue readied herself to fall back. She arched her back until her head was nearly an inch off the ground as her arm lashed out toward her left. Simultaneously, Hongyue smacked the ground with her right palm using the force to cause her body to spin in mid-air. The girl in the red garment spin with her hair flying around her beautifully in the water as if in a dance. Hongyue stuck out her foot and stopped her body's movement. Using the rebound of the sudden stop, she released another powerful kick. This move would allow her to escape if she was ever caught by her legs.

Hongyue collapsed lightly to the ground, happy with her accomplishments.

She smiled wickedly.

Next time, she thought.

The next full moon, she will give him a gift he wouldn't forget even when he was dead.
