Chapter 71: Imitation And Bewildering Strength (1/2)
The gravity training room adjacent to Lu Yin’s opened to reveal Jenny Auna, who grew curious at the commotion and opened his door. However, her expression warped the moment she saw him, and after leveling an angry glare, she firmly slammed the door closed and left, leaving the surrounding students stunned.
What happened? This was a question Lu Yin shared with the crowd. This woman had to be crazy to give him that sort of threatening expression; didn’t she know the Aunas had a marriage agreement with the Zishan Family?
His guess wasn’t wrong; Jenny was indeed aware. Torry had revealed it by accident, and while the agreement didn’t mention any names, even a fool would know that the Zishan heir would only be married to the Auna heir. The Zishan Family’s prime was far more splendid than the Aunas’, so as long as the marriage was forced, Jenny herself would be the one wedded to Lu Yin. She didn’t have a good impression of him to begin with, and when she contacted her family about it, their answer had frozen her heart— they would most likely go through with the agreement. The girl had felt like her entire life had dimmed down and come to the training room to vent her anger, but she’d bumped into that scoundrel once more. It felt like she’d stepped into dog poo.
Jenny wasn’t gone long before a joyous Lulu Mavis ran over, identifying Lu Yin’s training room and jumping in without hesitation.
“Lulu?” Lu Yin was astonished.
“Eh, you’re perfect. My hands are itchy, let’s practice!” she challenged.
Curious about the Mavis Family’s battle techniques, he didn’t reject her. Lulu had showcased terrifying strength and extreme speed in Beijing, and he wanted to know if it was innate or a battle technique he could copy in secret.
The girl licked her lips in excitement; she had observed Lu Yin for a long time, and the defeat of even a freshly awakened Nightking was no mean feat, “Don’t hold back, I want to experience what you learnt from that inheritance stone firsthand. Here I come!”
Lulu’s body vanished as she finished talking; even under 30 times normal gravity, her speed was still so terrifying that she left behind phantoms that merged with the daylight. Fortunately, she wasn’t beyond the grasp of the Cosmic Art, which revealed her snaking palm to Lu Yin immediately. When he stepped aside and allowed her hand to crash into the wall, the entire training room rumbled.
“Good. Again!” Lulu beamed with delight, rushing towards him once more. The increased gravity didn’t seem to affect her at all. Lu Yin stared at her fist and raised his own, white and black alternating in the formation of the Daynight Punch.
BANG! A shockwave rumbled out as both combatants took several steps back, the sheer volume of the impact shocking the students outside. Lulu herself was surprised, “This is the technique you learnt from the inheritance stone? It’s not much.”
“Continue,” Lulu barked, sweeping her legs towards Lu Yin who stared at them while dodging. She disappeared the very next moment, starting to attack from all directions.
Lu Yin couldn’t learn Qingyu’s speed technique at all, but Lulu’s display gave him some clues. His legs subconsciously started imitating her movements as he integrated things with the Roving Step, slightly improving his own speed. However, the Daynight Clan’s battle techniques always had this unique rhythm that he simply couldn’t learn outside of that inheritance stone; imitation had its limits.
Lulu backflipped and landed before staring at him in shock, “That… You were copying my White Flash, weren’t you?”
Lu Yin nodded, “But it can’t be emulated.”
She burst out in laughter, “You’re really imitating the White Flash, and even managed to copy it a little. Interesting, you’re too interesting!”
Lu Yin was lost, “Is that strange?”
She smiled, “Of course it’s strange. It’s common knowledge that battle techniques cannot be imitated, and many different races’ battle techniques require specific conditions to receive their inheritance that even powerful copying techniques cannot break. This is the fundamental reason why the great clans dominate the universe, but you actually managed to copy this a little. You’re a strange fellow; not only did you inherit one technique, but you copied the White Flash, too. So mysterious, haha!”
Lu Yin could not figure out why it was so amusing, “Are you still fighting?”
