At almost the same moment, Xia Wuyou and Shen Qin both became a little nervous. Although it was essentially just a normal onboarding assessment, they were taking it more seriously than anything else.
The two attacked almost simultaneously.
They are all practical fighters; they won't nod or bow before a fight, especially if they're holding a grudge... They have absolutely no martial ethics and are only thinking about how to seize the initiative and finish the battle quickly.
Xia Wuyou's domain expanded, and as he spoke, he was already close to Shen Qin, his battle blade pointing directly at her vital points.
Shen Qin let out a low roar, and her body, which had been somewhat curled up, suddenly stretched out. She pulled out two strangely shaped daggers from her sleeve at some point, and together they met the blade. Taking advantage of this burst of energy, she pushed Xia Wuyou back a step!
Um?
Xia Wuyou was somewhat surprised.
She didn't know much about this former little sister Qin, at least not about her abilities. Xu Shi had previously said, "Even if you can win, don't win," which implied that the other party might not be weaker than her.
In just one exchange, she knew that her opponent's abilities were definitely not weak, and could even be described as quite formidable. The power emanating from the dagger alone was not to be underestimated.
Before she could react, Shen Qin, who had already pulled away, drew another pistol from her waist and pulled the trigger without hesitation.
It was the same one that had been presented to Xu Shi as a sample earlier.
The bullets were unusual; they were spikes with an eerie purple hue. As usual, Xia Wuyou raised his sword to block them, but the moment they touched the blade, the spikes exploded and turned into dust that rushed towards him!
not good!
Xia Wuyou sensed something was wrong. Gas-like attacks were one of her weaknesses. During her two previous encounters with Tang Shuang, the opponent had prepared similar hypnotic gas.
She was still able to handle things with ease while wearing a mask, but this purple dust was much more troublesome!
Because it is refined from "rust mist"!
The tactical mask she wore had a filtering function, but the "rust fog" was everywhere and impossible to avoid. Even a little bit of it was bad, and she absolutely couldn't take it!
This also demonstrates the ruthlessness of the "Forgotten Ones." A group whose survival is oppressed will naturally create weapons that are deadly in every move.
Fortunately, the training room wasn't too cramped, giving her enough room to maneuver. She immediately sidestepped the purple mist, reversed her blade, and attacked Chen Qin again.
The back-and-forth was really just a mutual test.
The results of the test were not good news for either of them. Xia Wuyou had already witnessed Shen Qin's cunning methods, and Shen Qin was also well aware that Xia Wuyou had not yet used her full strength—she also carried a gun at her waist, but had not taken it out yet.
As expected, as Xia Wuyou attacked, he also drew his sidearm with his left hand and emptied the magazine in front of him in an instant.
This was an assessment, not actual combat. Her gun was only loaded with paralyzing bullets for training, but taking them all would still be extremely unpleasant.
Therefore, Shen Qin would not confront him head-on, but would instead turn to the side to dodge. However, Xia Wuyou had already changed direction and attacked from the flank, eventually getting close to her.
The long-range shooting exchange quickly turned into close-quarters combat, and the roles of offense and defense were reversed once again.
However, Xia Wuyou did not expect that even though she was resisting his gravity field, Shen Qin was still able to go back and forth with her, and the impact was not as bad as he had imagined.
Although this was partly due to her deliberately suppressing her abilities, compared to Tang Shuang, whom she had faced before, Shen Qin did not have any special combat protective gear.
When they actually entered close combat, she could feel that her opponent was by no means inferior to her in terms of strength, speed, or defense.
Such fighting power is completely inconsistent with her seemingly frail appearance!
Xia Wuyou's sharp gaze fell upon Shen Qin, whose originally dark and deep eyes were now glowing with a blood-red light, and whose expression was no longer calm but rather somewhat manic.
"Tsk."
Their eyes met, and without saying much, they clicked their tongues in unison before continuing their fierce fight.
...
"Great, a combat-type is a combat-type."
The battle in the training ground was naturally observed by Xu Shi behind the glass.
The two girls were fighting so intensely, sometimes engaging in close-quarters combat, sometimes exchanging long-range shots, that he naturally found it very exciting to watch.
And he finally witnessed firsthand the extraordinary abilities of this sister who had sunk into the river.
"Blood Liberation"
Simply put, it means exchanging one's life force for an extremely high boost in combat power.
The reddening of the eyes was a signal, and once activated, it unleashed an extremely fierce and unparalleled aura, which he could vaguely sense even through the glass.
It sounds somewhat similar to Chen Fang's "Berserk" ability, both being explosive power-up abilities, but their actual effects are completely different.
He saw it clearly: after activating her ability, Shen Qin displayed an exaggerated level of strength, speed, and shooting accuracy. She could even fight against Xia Wuyou's domain, which also demonstrated her high defensive capabilities.
Of course, he probably knew a little about this so-called high defense. Besides becoming thicker and tougher, it was more about a reduction in pain perception. Not being able to feel pain naturally made him more focused. It wasn't really invulnerable.
But that's already pretty impressive. Compared to that, could Chen Fang, that jerk, have done it?
Obviously not, he couldn't even withstand a single move from Xia Wuyou.
The information he possessed did not include Shen Qin's ability rating, but he could tell from her that it was at least an A or even an A+, which was indeed comparable to Xia Wuyou's.
Thinking on a broader scale, there is another similar warrior-type "ascended person" named Tang Shuang. In a sense, all three of them are outstanding in both melee and ranged combat, simply because their abilities have different focuses.
Tang Shuang's main strength lies in ranged attacks, relying on bombs to blast people into a daze. While she is not weak in melee combat, it is only a secondary method. For example, during the previous press conference, she only engaged in melee combat when she couldn't effectively use bombs.
Xia Wuyou is the opposite; she needs to get relatively close to unleash her full power, while ranged attacks are always a means of restraint.
As for Shen Qin, she seems to be somewhere in between. Her ranged skills are not as good as Tang Shuang's, and she is slightly inferior to Xia Wuyou in close combat, but she is better in terms of balance.
As for complications, those are obvious – overdrawing one's vitality is the biggest flaw, and her sickly appearance is a result of this.
Hi!
Having roughly figured out her background, Xu Shi had achieved his goal. Now it was time to enjoy the fun of watching the pretty girls fight.
But it was at this moment that...
The battle situation inside the training room also underwent a subtle change.
Xia Wuyou and Shen Qin, who had been fighting to the death, suddenly stopped their attacks one after the other.
oh?
Even Shenhe's sister is showing weakness?
