111 The more aggressive approach (1/2)

Rei was sitting on a rock besides the lake as he played around with spiritual qi in his hands. Just like what he had done with mana, Rei compressed the spiritual qi into strings as started to compress more and more together.

While he was doing this, Bai Wu was practising using dodging with her senses as Rei would swing a string of spiritual qi towards Bai Wu every so often so that she is always on guard.

”Hmm, Bai Wu. I'll increase the number once more.” Rei said as he made even more strings of qi. The total increased to over 150 strings. Bai Wu had to try dodge all of them. While they didn't do too much damage, as long as one hit her it would send her back slightly.

”Remember Bai Wu, don't rely on your main senses of eyes and ears. Use your skin to sense the vibrations in the air from the attacks. Make sure that your body is free flowing as it dodges on instinct yet keep a concrete plan in your mind.” Rei said while he controlled the qi strings with his right hand.

”So you want me to be free flowing?” Bai Wu asked.

”Yes, when you are on the defensive. Follow the flow as you dodge their attacks. Each attack will have a hint, intent and motion. Use this to predict where the attack will come from and instinctively use your body to dodge.” Rei said as he multi tasked with training Bai Wu using his right hand and raising the spirit ring age with his left. In the 3000 years of training Bai Wu, Rei had increased his spirit ring age to 850,000 years.

”Does Lei mean like this? Going with the flow~” (〜￣▽￣)〜 Bai Wu joked as she made a wave motion with her arms.

Rei sent a string of qi to her head as he knocked her back a little.

”Hmm. Lei it's too hard~ I don't get what you mean by going with the flow.” Bai Wu said truthfully as she stopped joking around for a rare moment of seriousness.

”Hmm fine, I suppose you need a demonstration.” Rei said as he stood up and walked toward Bai Wu who was sitting down.

”Bai Wu, you see this leaf?” Rei asked picking up a stray leaf.

Bai Wu nodded as she wondered why Rei would get a leaf.

Dropping the leaf from above, Rei waved his hand towards the leaf as it bent with the wind and dodged out of the way.

”See this, the leaf follows the wind as it dodges out of the way. Granted that if one is fast enough, they can catch it before it can even react.” Rei said as his hands blurred and caught the leaf.

”Now I want you to take inspiration from the leaf when it is following the wind. Your body is the leaf as the enemy attack is the hand trying to grab you. Push your instincts outwards as your body reacts instinctively to dodge the attack. With the 3000 years of training we did for your body, you should be able to have a pretty high limit before people can catch up to you when you master this technique.” Rei said as he sat back down.

”Bai Wu, the best way would be for you to be blind folded and ears plugged. This way your other senses are being pushed to the limit.” Rei said as he threw her a blind fold and a pair of ear plugs. These were items he had left over in his separate space that he decided to use right now.

Bai Wu nodded as she grabbed the blindfold. She was about to put it on when he paused and gave it a sniff.

”Hmm, smells like Lei but...younger? Slightly different but still Lei? And salty too.” She said.

”Yeah, I had used that blind fold when I was training to spread out my senses. As for the salt, I was out at sea when that had happened.” Rei said as he smiled nostalgically at the memory of partying with Shanks.

”But I will get distracted....” Bai Wu muttered.

”Why?” Rei asked not understanding how the blindfold would distract her.

”Because it smells like Lei is on my face.” Bai Wu said blushing and looked down at the floor avoiding Rei's stare.

(ಠ_ಠ)...

'It was a pure intent ok? I just wanted you to use it to train ok? Why would you say it's like I'm on your face?!' Rei thought with a face palm.

”Hais....come on, we'll buy you a new blindfold. We'll also take this chance for you to fight other people as well. At least then you'll have some experience in fighting someone other than myself.” Rei said standing up.

”Umm Lei? Can I keep this?” Bai Wu asked looking at the blindfold.
