25 PRACTICE (1/2)
(There has been a mistake. The Barren Han tribe is a small sized tribe, and it's name would be changed to Desolate Han tribe. Similarly, their neighboring tribes mentioned previously would have their names changed from 'Barren Gu' to 'Desolate Gu' and 'Barren Fu' to 'Desolate Fu'. I'll be making the corrections in the previous chapters.)
Every Giant has the ability to berserk, and their body size increases when they do so. Before developing the ability to berserk, every Giant grows to a fixed height of six feet. When they berserk, their skin and iris color changes according to their stage of berserk. Their original skin color is white, and when berserking their skin changes in an ascending manner to red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, or royal purple. It is rumored that there is another stage above purple, which was only achieved by the Giant Progenitor, known as the black berserk, which is a stage 8 berserk.
*****
Desolate Bone Tribe, Giant Continent.
The man grinned at Yi and said : ”Sure, why not !”
They both moved to the center of the ground and took positions. The crowd behind them cheered and taunted the young girl.
”Don't break your leg, little girl !”
”Look at that perky butt. Old Xin, grope that ass for me !”
”Marry me, little girl ! My tool will definitely satisfy you.”
”What, old Shen ! You dare to marry another woman ?”
”No dear, it wasn't me ! I didn't say it ! Dear, I love only you. Ouch, dear, it hurts ! I'm sorry, dear, I'm really sorry ...”
Various noises filled the messy ground. Yi and the middle aged man named Xin stared at each other and stood like a statue for a moment.
”Haa !!” Both of them shouted in union as they berserked. Their skins quickly turned red, and even their iris changed color. Yi quickly dashed towards Old Xin and punched. He quickly raised his head and blocked with his forearm. The collision produced a small boom and was followed by another attack. Yi kicked towards the man's ankle to make him fall. The man reacted instinctively and dodged, then sent another fist towards her.
Booms were created every second which excited every soldier, and some soldiers even started betting. One punch hit Yi and she chocked. The man did not show mercy and followed by another kick. Yi ignored her discomfort and caught his leg and closed on him. She used her other leg and her body to tackle him and make him fall.
”Old Xin ! Don't make me lose money !”
”Hahaha... It seems like my lucky day today !”
”Old Xin, you're really getting old.”
”Little girl, nice attack !”
As situation changed their was a change in the soldiers comments.
Old Xin used his elbow and hit Yi's head, which knocked her for a second. He quickly got up and elbowed her while she was about to stand up. Yi quickly used her arms and blocked the incoming knee attacks.
”It looks like some technique...”
”Is she using some fighting skills like the foreign races ?”
”Yuck ! That's disgusting !”
”I think it is pretty good.”
The fight continued and Old Xin seemed to be struggling to maintain his berserk. White fog fumed from the both of them, and their bodies were a little hot. Suddenly Yi bent down and sent a sweeping kick. Old Xin was caught off guard and collapsed on his butt. She grabbed this opportunity and locked down his neck according to the technique taught by Old Han.
Old Xin had problem breathing and he thrashed. A giant's metabolism increased when he berserked, and required large amounts of air and water. His red skin immediately turned into fair and he came out of his berserk state. He tried to pull her hands and attack her head but was unsuccessful. Eventually he loudly slapped the ground multiple times to indicate his defeat, afraid that he might really die if he was a little late.
