After cultivating with Yesheon, I went to sleep, and in the morning when I woke up, Yesheon appeared with so scrolls. They are ice techniques, and there are several, most of which are simple techniques.
However, it happens that since I have an innate talent for Yin Qi techniques, I simply understood how to do them just by reading the scrolls, which is incredible. Of course, when I told Yesheon this, she said it was a talent.
However, when she gave a high-level technique, I didn’t learn it quickly, nor did I even understand it, so it seems that everything depends on how strong I am and my understanding of the technique, which is a sha.
But I learned sothing really fun! I learned a dium-level ice technique that I can shape, create, and generate ice through my Yin Qi, nothing compared to the destruction that Yeom can cause.
However, I can use this in so ways, as ice is very versatile, so I can use it to form shapes, among other things that can help . This technique is not very strong, but it allows to do various things.
Of course, I want to test it, so I called Lyuei for a fight, and she promptly accepted. I can’t say we’re friends, but we’re interacting well, so I think we’re more than just acquaintances.
Yesheon even decided to watch the duel, and more people from the sect joined. I’m close to the core formation stage, while Lyuei is a little above that.
It will be a difficult fight, but from what I’ve seen of Lyuei, she’s the type who fights physically against opponents, so I have so advantage as long as I don’t let her get close.
"Ready to lose, Junior!" She says with a slightly arrogant and very confident smile. A week ago, I would have just been beaten by her, but now I have a technique and enough cultivation to be quite superior to ordinary people.
"Of course, go easy on , Senior!" I don’t think this low power account’s for Yeom, but I can use it as an excuse for Yeom to stop stealing my cultivation. I can say that without cultivation, sothing else bad can happen to , among other things.
"Are both of you ready?" Yesheon asks, and we both nod. Soon, Yesheon counts down, and after counting to 0, Lyuei rushes towards .
My cultivation technique is called Frozen Lotus Flower, and it’s with this that I can have the advantage in the fight. I form an ice wall, forcing Lyuei to stop her advance.
"Shizune, this won’t stop !" Lyuei yells from the other side of the wall and instead of going around, she breaks it with a punch, only to be t by a frozen mist.
Lyuei jumps back, taking distance, while the ground around has slight traces of ice due to the cold. I’m not good at frontal fighting, so I’ll make her keep her distance.
’Rember... just rember the attacks Azuli made.’ I rember the magical girl world, Azuli’s ice magic, and the absurd things she showed.
This mist simulates the sa ice ability she explained using to defeat Flora. I’ve already died from freezing; I know how terrible and painful this elent can be.
I form an ice lance and throw it at Lyuei, who shatters it with a punch. The difference in strength is noticeable; as an inexperienced cultivator, I have no chance.
But I’ve always been good at observation and deduction, using my mories to rember the ice attacks Azuli made while chasing around the house.
Soon I’m firing ice daggers at Lyuei, who simply keeps punching them without stopping, not getting too close and maintaining so distance from .
"Fist God’s Pressure!" Lyuei says sothing and throws a punch, generating a large wind wave that blows all the ice mist away, taking the opportunity to rush towards .
’I have so much to learn from the Yanderes; unpleasant experiences, but still experiences. I copy what I’ve already seen Alehandro do, advancing towards Lyuei with an ice sword and striking her from top to bottom.
It was with this blow that Alehandro defended from being murdered once. Soon after, having missed the blow, I create an ice wall and take distance from Lyuei.
"Tsk." Lyuei seems irritated by my "cowardly" fighting style that doesn’t face her head-on, but that’s all I have. If I can’t win by going straight, I’ll find another way.
"Shizune, this is annoying!" She punches the ground, cracking it and throwing off balance while rushing towards . I rember Himari, rember how just trying to run carelessly can get hit.
So instead of dodging, I just lean to the side, grabbing Lyuei’s arm while rotating my base, inverting Lyuei’s position while lifting her in the air and then throwing her hard back-first to the ground.
And I take the opportunity to take distance, taking a light run backwards. Lyuei gets up even more irritated.
She reminds of my "son"; he also ran angrily after to kill . I’m using all the experiences I had against Yanderes in this fight.
"Senior, please understand, I’m weak and can only fight in a sowhat cowardly way. I’m sorry about that." I would also like to have the strength to fight head-on, but since I don’t have that, I won’t just surrender; I’ll find my own way.
"Okay, junior... it’s annoying, but you fight in a way that seems not to fear . I respect that." Lyuei says, getting into a stance.
"Lightning Step." Lyuei says, and suddenly she’s in front of . My brain quickly thinks of various experiences, trying to find sothing similar to this, and the answer is Flora.
Flora’s abnormal movents, appearing instantly in front of her opponents due to the ability to stop ti. That world was a hell where she was destroying my mind.
My response to this is to lean back completely while kicking upwards, and luckily, I manage to dodge while delivering a kick to her chin and doing a backflip.
"..." Lyuei holds her chin while spitting out a tooth. She looks at with a lot of anger, while I sigh with relief at having reacted, just like when I fought Flora. The surprise of the movent is what makes it so difficult to react, but the blow itself is not fast.
"Lightning Step!" She uses the sa ability again, disappearing from my field of vision. Since I can’t see her, I copy Azuli, forming a small ice do to protect myself while crouching down.
I hear the sound of ice breaking and see a fist that would have hit if I hadn’t crouched. I co out of the ice, opening a breach and taking distance.
’I’m getting tired...’ I’m getting tired; it’s not so easy for a rookie like to keep trying to use so many skills. This makes the papers in my storage ring seem tempting to use.
But I won’t use them. I want to win or lose with my own acquired power, not with a paper that has soone else’s power. Besides, I should save those papers for use in real risky situations.
"Not bad, I apologize, Junior... or rather, Shizune. During this 1 week that I’ve seen you dedicating yourself to physical training, I underestimated you, but I see that you were being serious." Lyuei says, bowing slightly with her hands together.
"As a martial artist, I apologize for my ignorance." I feel her Qi leak out as she gets stronger.
"So I won’t underestimate you anymore, Shizune!"
"Lightning Step." She disappears and appears in front of faster than I can react. Not only is the movent to reach fast, but when I realize it, I already see her fist hitting my face, knocking back with extre force.
I feel blood dripping from my nose; training in this world is quite serious, so getting hurt is normal, but even so, it still hurts like hell. I think my nose is broken.
"Don’t get distracted." She says, hitting with a punch to the stomach. I fall to my knees as Yesheon stops the fight, declaring Lyuei the winner.
I look up, feeling humiliated for losing so easily when she took it seriously, but I see Lyuei with a smile, offering a hand to help up.
"You improved, it seems you have talent for this!" She says, a little proud to have been the one training .
"Hahaha, maybe... maybe..." I say with a sowhat awkward laugh as I lean on her hand to get up. It wasn’t bad; I saw that I got quite strong, but it’s no big deal. Even so, it was unique and made notice sothing incredible.
Past experiences are extrely useful to , whether in ideas or ways to defend myself. The more different people I et, the greater the range of possibilities I have.
Losing this fight doesn’t make it useless; it was actually a lesson for , a lesson that taught that I can be powerful even if I’m weaker than my opponent, and that satisfies enough.
"Here for both of you, healing pills." Yesheon hands us the dicine with a smile.
"Shizune, but that kick, it hurt! Where did you learn that?" Lyuei asks while taking the dicine.
"Hahaha, I just thought it would work." I can’t say I learned it by reviewing mories of a fight against a girl who could stop ti.
"Okay, everyone has their secrets!" She says as I take my dicine to heal the damage from this fight. It was quite painful, but educational.
