67 Settling Base in Jie Long Academy (2/2)
”This is my Yin-Yang Fist, an evolved version of my wife's Gentle Fist. You are the only person I have ever used it on, beside when I train it with my wife, Fan Xinglou. Come!”
”You even have a wife already?! Che, you are no fun... but, I also want to meet woman that can catch your eyes. Someone with your power, I wonder how strong is your woman?!”
Both individuals became like striking meteors as they rushed at each other, exchanging rapid blows in such speed that bended even space. Palm attacks, Fists and Kicks continuously flashed, when Fan Xinglou kept pressing her attacks while Rafi redirect and repelled her techniques. They rapidly moved from place to place in Oushinden, whether in midair or the ground, leaving remarkable destruction at each their steps.
”You are quite good, even if you are not that proficient in bare-handed martial arts. You usually use your own weapon don't you?!” Her immature and lively voice sounded strangely spirited when she spoke to Rafi in midst of battle.
”Well, you can say that I want to practice this technique. Seeing that I can hold on this long, it looks like you haven't gone serious, Fan Xinglou!” Rafi said as he moved sideways slightly, evading her prana-enhanced fist technique, and counterattacked her with ghostly palm technique aspect of Yin-Yang Fist.
”What are you talking about?! If you want to, you can directly finish this battle, not using your technique but your superior base power. It is exasperating to know that fact, but I won't let go of this chance, fighting you with all I've got!!” Seeing that incoming palm, Fan Xinglou teleported behind Rafi as she sent a quick kick at his neck, though it only barely tickled him.
Because, even if his power was self-restrained, but his body was already tempered by Chaos Energy countless times, thus its defense couldn't be harmed by anything in that world. Although it was unfair, but their battle basically ended when Fan Xinglou couldn't even deal enough damage to his defense, as she also still needed to evade his counterattacks.
”HaHaHa, don't let this end that quick! Let's enjoy this battle, Fan Xinglou!!”
”Likewise so, stranger from afar!” Although her attacks kept failing to deal proper damage, however it only roused more of her battle intent. Along the way of their battle, Fan Xinglou released some of her seals, causing her power to soar.
Both individuals then changed their battle site to midair, as the academy ground couldn't handle more destructions, if they didn't want to destroy the academy. The sky was rumbling loudly from the shock of their attacks, scattering the wind and dispersing the clouds, as they battled heartily to their heart content.
Some times later, the rumbling sounds gradually started to disappear, as both combatants ended their battle with a fearless grin, producing a strange scene where a little girl of nine-year old grinned like an experienced fighter to a young man in his early-twenties.
”Let's stop it here, Fan Xinglou! I think this is enough for now.”
”HeHe, good, very good. It is indeed enough, but I will ask for more later on, Rafi.” After battling for a long time, they ended up rather close as both felt respect for each other.
Rafi, although his power could destroy her world, but his bare-handed fighting technique still need more polishing, even after he trained with Hinata in Avalon. Fighting Fan Xinglou who had thousand-year old experiences could help him polish his technique further, bridging the time gap of experience, as Fan Xinglou already slightly touched upon the essence of martial art.
Meanwhile, for Fan Xinglou, she finally met an opponent that she couldn't defeat, rousing back her old fighting spirit, just like back then when she started her road as a peak expert.
After she fought him this time, she knew that his technique was still coarse, need more polishing. She understood that once this man(Rafi) further improved his technique, then defeating her would not need much time, just few moves would do. The thrill of training such person, and having hearty battles with him, causing her to keep wanting training him, in the name of sparring. As she felt that that man only lacked enough fighting experience to properly use his superior base power.
”I will make sure you get your documents, but before that... you need to help me clean this mess...” Fan Xinglou said calmly as she looked at destructions left behind by their battle. As she said so, she used her own method of manipulating prana to flatten the ground, restoring their previous look.
”Hm, this is fine.” Glancing at her, Rafi used Earth-aspect Six-Paths elemental magic as he quickly restored the land back to its previous look, while he also added some Yang-aspect of Yin-Yang Six-Paths to help fasten the growth of previously destroyed greenery.
”Ho, beside that, you also have to tell me more about it.”
”There is more??”
”Yup, I want to know about your story. You previously said that you were a passerby in this world, so it means that you have already gone to other worlds before this place right?!” Her eyes were sparkling with stars as she looked at him intensely, closing her immature body to his.
”Oh, that, well it is...” Before he started telling her, Rafi lifted the illusion on all of Jie Long's students as he also removed their memories about this event.
It was only later that he went with Fan Xinglou to her place inside Oushinden, telling her most of his adventures in other worlds, fascinating her with his encounters with many strong people. As it was especially so in ATG world, where strong cultivators were abundant, though he didn't really explain that he actually didn't fight that much.
