Chapter 992: Chapter 37 Physical Characteristics
The mories of combat are too rich, as aspects of the opponent always seem to carry traces of other opponents.
In terms of fighting style, the golden retriever is similar to the Demonic Sect Enchantress, always favoring to rely on brute physical quality to mount a hard attack.
When it cos to tactical awareness, the golden retriever is indeed much more cunning than the Enchantress. The Enchantress only repeatedly throws straight punches shouting “ora ora ora”, but once the golden retriever realizes frontal assaults are ineffective against Yan Yu, she imdiately switches to flexible attacking with upper and lower hooks, proving she’s not the kind of brainless brawler who only knows to fight head-on like the Enchantress.
Additionally, this girl has learned a thing or two about deceit from Chen Lingyun. For example, she’d feign death by saying “I surrender”, and when Yan Yu lowers his guard, she would suddenly launch a surprise attack, aiming to catch the opponent off guard.
Although eventually counteracted by Yan Yu’s quick response, this also shows the golden retriever is not just so kind creature that allows itself to be bullied.
Having brought out seventy to eighty percent of his strength, Yan Yu finally managed to thoroughly defeat the golden retriever. He casually draped a blanket over himself as he stood up, and looking into the mirror on the floor at himself and the completely paralyzed golden retriever behind him, a proud smile appeared on his face.
Invincible!
“You’re too fierce,” Anna said weakly, “Don’t you know how to appreciate and cherish the gentler sex…”
“My martial arts is about respecting every competitor I face!” Yan Yu imdiately put on a serious face, “Holding back would be an insult to you, not to !”
“Hmph,” Anna felt a bit annoyed, with such skilled combat techniques, she wondered how many spars he had been through to obtain such skills, “Then tell , among all the ones you’ve fought, who do you like the most?”
This question was indeed worthy of exploration. The Enchantress is a typical brawler, fighting just to win; Ruoxi is an extre coward who’d give up in the middle of a fight. Sparring with these two can bring the joy of overcoming a strong opponent and the thrill of dominating an easy fight, but both stray from the spirit of martial arts, so they’re not his favorites.
Sparring with Yun Jin, one could tell she’s clearly not interested in victory but more concerned about satisfying and entertaining Yan Yu. Her one-sided flattery is too compromising, making it impossible for Yan Yu to agree; Ningning, on the other hand, is not resolute enough, sotis eager to win and sotis feeling it’s not ladylike… in summary, she’s capricious, which makes her quite hard for Yan Yu to handle. Neither of these two are his favorites.
Chen Lingyun is full of tricks and constantly uses wiles, but her own strength is too inferior to spark any interest in Lord Yan Yu; Zhou Hongyu is even more egocentric, only caring about her own enjoynt in the fight, not considering at all what Yan Yu might think. These two are certainly not his favorites either.
After careful consideration, sparring with Anna turns out to be quite good. She has her own fighting spirit and principles, as well as considers the opponent’s feelings; she’s good at charging aggressively, but also tily adjusts her tactics to keep it interesting for Yan Yu… it’s just a pity that she’s not in Lu Country, as it’s too far for a visit. Otherwise, more practice with her to build up a rapport would indeed rit the term “favorite”.
Seeing Yan Yu ponder without answering, Anna guessed that he had an answer in mind but refrained from speaking to avoid upsetting her, her heart unavoidably felt a pang of sadness as she said:
“Forget it, I won’t ask anymore. Can you still fight?”
“Of course, I have no issue,” Yan Yu began to warm up his limbs, “But I would advise you not to overdo it. In spars, it’s best to stop at the right mont to avoid lingering injuries.”
“Lingering injuries? What a joke,” Anna said coldly, “Why are you making excuses now? Could it be that you’re unable to continue?”
For the strong, the thing they fear the most is to be told they’re no good. Once these words co out, it’s either I beat you to death to wash away the humiliation, or you beat to death; there is no third option.
Therefore, Yan Yu didn’t waste words, just threw off the blanket with a powerful flick, then pounced like a hungry tiger, closing in on his opponent.
He intended to use his true strength to show Anna what real power dominance is!
——————————
The depth of martial arts is profound and inexhaustible. As the proverb goes, “Ro wasn’t built in a day.”
The two fought from day into night, each ti exhausting their energy yet never feeling quite fulfilled, thus taking brief rests before rallying their spirits and beginning their sparring anew.
Anna’s thoughts were actually very simple: it was not easy for Yan Yu to co this ti, and who knew when the next would be, so she wanted to make the most of it, to avoid any regrets afterwards.
Only when she finally felt fully satisfied, did she go to the bathroom to change clothes and co out, to find Yan Yu sitting cross-legged on the bed, seemingly lost in thought.
“What’s the matter?” Anna sat down beside him and asked with a smile.
“Quiet, I’m morizing all the characteristics of your body,” Yan Yu said with closed eyes.
The trial of a witch involves first turning one’s flesh into a “atball” consisting purely of refined magic power, then using this magic power to reconstruct limbs, organs, and internal structures. The process of body reconstruction is extrely perilous, as the soul of the atball rges with the magic power, and a will that is not firm enough can lead to reconstruction failure.
The atball has no eyes or ears, hence it cannot obtain information from the outside world, and must rely on its own mory to reconstruct. The cultivators of Lu Country’s Divine Sense scanning and Sound Transmission Technique can play an additional role, where Divine Sense monitoring confirms if the reconstruction of the atball is incorrect, and the Sound Transmission Technique can reach the soul to tily remind the witch of necessary corrections.
Naturally, this presupposes that the cultivator is sufficiently familiar with the ticulous details of the witch’s body.
“Mhm,” Anna pondered for a while, then asked, “So, have you morized all the characteristics of my body?”
“Of course,” Yan Yu replied, “Not just the curves of your body, but also the length and thickness of your bones, the size and position of your viscera, I rember them all.”
“Wow.” Anna was sowhat incredulous, “And here I thought… I thought you were concentrating on fighting .”
“Need to concentrate on fighting you?” Yan Yu let out a scornful chuckle.
Anna felt the fire rise in her chest again and wanted to teach him a lesson, but her body was already too weary to do anything else.
“Have you chosen the place for Crossing Tribulation?” Yan Yu opened his eyes and asked.
Just as Anna was about to speak, she heard Yan Yu continue:
“No need to tell . Just decide on your own, and don’t reveal it to anyone. The timing of Crossing Tribulation should be kept to yourself as well.”
“What, can’t even tell you?” Anna leaned close to his ear and said in a pouting tone, “I plan to undergo the Crossing Tribulation at midnight tomorrow because at the peak of the moonlight, a witch’s mind is most easily steadied.”
“The place for Crossing Tribulation is set in a cave in the north. I’m not afraid to tell you, because I know you would never harm .”
“Nonsense, do I even need to say it?” Yan Yu said, “I’m worried that there might be so strange thods in this world, like predicting the future or divining sothing. Once spoken, everything is known, understand?”
“If there really are such thods, then there’s no use trying to prevent troubles before they arise,” Anna dismissed, “I’d rather believe that you will protect well.”
Of course, Yan Yu would protect Anna well. Because she was the Eclipse Queen, the only bond maintaining peace between the Northern Border and Lu Country.
She was also his woman.
