Chapter 78 Advance and Retreat
◎Attack and Defense◎
Luo Wusheng leaned in the arms of girl A. The force on her waist was not strong but he couldn't ignore it.
Couples naturally holding hands and hugging each other walked past them. He raised his hand but it remained suspended in the air for a long time.
Under the night sky, the quiet yet bustling bamboo forest is filled with whispers swaying in the wind, the sound of footsteps, the chirping of cicadas, and the sound of water...
There was an unusual silence between the two, and no one spoke first.
As pairs of affectionate couples passed by, Shi Hanqiao withdrew her gaze, tilted her head slightly, and said to the young man she was crossing paths with, "Let's go."
His hands in the air were trembling. As Luo Wusheng raised his legs, he made up his mind to put his hands on the back of Woman A. He glanced at her profile secretly, and saw no trace of disgust. He followed her out nervously.
Among a group of couples heading towards Xingyue Lake, the two looked like a close couple, walking against the crowd.
Back at the dormitory, the robot was cleaning up the mess in the living room.
Ulysses came out of the training room and stood at the railing on the second floor. He noticed the two people coming in and his eyes narrowed slightly.
After leaving Xingyue Lake, the two kept their distance, not hugging each other, but neither was they trying to avoid suspicion. After dinner, the young man, taking advantage of the fact that Woman A didn't stop him from putting his arm around her back, boldly put his arm around her and stayed close until they entered the house.
Shi Hanqiao and Luo Wusheng raised their heads one after another and looked at the empty second floor.
The latter unconsciously grabbed woman A's forearm.
He didn't mind, but he was afraid that girl A would be disgusted.
Even after returning to the training room on the third floor, Girl A didn't react at all and remained calm as usual.
The two of them changed into tight training clothes and started a new round of training.
To be precise, it was the training service that female A unilaterally provided to the young man.
"Are you sure it's purely defensive? I won't let you down."
Having said that, Shi Hanqiao still put on half-finger gloves to reduce the impact.
Although he wanted to yell, "Stop looking down on me! Who asked you to let me win?!", Luo Wusheng, knowing he couldn't win, held his breath and said, "Just come on."
Woman A raised her eyebrows coldly and pounded her fists together: "Then you better defend yourself well."
The smiling eyes suddenly became calm and steady, and the left fist attacked the young man's right eye with lightning speed. The latter's attention was focused on Woman A, and he had the opportunity to step back and dodge the moment she punched.
“Not bad!”
The attacked part was relatively vulnerable, so Shi Hanqiao didn't use much force at the beginning. He kept an eye on the young man's movements so that he could withdraw his strength in time.
But seeing him dodge it nimbly, my interest was piqued.
For half an hour, Female A launched attacks as usual, and Luo Wusheng was able to avoid them one by one. However, the former was breathing normally, without a drop of sweat on her forehead, while the latter was panting, and her tight training vest was soaked with sweat.
"Be serious!"
Pure attack can't hit anyone, and although pure defense can avoid the opponent every time, it still feels like being toyed with.
Luo Wusheng stared at woman A with his eyes fixed, filled with endless fighting spirit.
"You're tired."
Shi Hanqiao was still excited, but he didn't increase the force or speed when he struck the young man's neck.
When she really started to attack, she found that she still couldn't bring herself to be ruthless. For more than half an hour, her fists didn't land on the young man once.
Luo Wusheng gasped for breath and turned his head to avoid the attack.
"What kind of practice is this?"
Shi Hanqiao transformed his knife-hand into a fist and smashed it into his left shoulder: "Then why don't you attack me?"
She knew how heavy her hands were, and she felt reluctant to let the desire to fight get the better of her and hit the young man.
Luo Wusheng took a deep breath, turned from defense to offense, and without dodging, he directly grabbed the fist of woman A but took three or four steps back before he could stabilize his body.
Shi Hanqiao stopped pushing in time and walked over to him: "What's wrong? Are you okay?"
Luo Wusheng suddenly raised his hand to attack, and Woman A blocked and defended, imitating his moves, feinting and dodging to lure the young man in. As expected, he fell for it and attacked the weak spot, but she spun around and grabbed his wrist to control his movements.
The young man refused to yield and fought back with his elbow. Shi Hanqiao had no choice but to restrain his hands and walked around behind him, saying with a smile: "It's a good idea to use deception in war."
Luo Wusheng's ears turned red instantly. The breath of woman A hit his earlobe, and the sound was like a drum hitting the eardrum. It was not loud but steady and was transmitted to his skull, making him numb.
The light lily of the valley drifted from behind, enveloping him in a curling manner.
The young man, whose hands were restrained, was not willing to give up. He raised his left foot fiercely, stepped down hard, and then withdrew most of the force before falling.
Shi Hanqiao noticed his movements, a smile flashed in his eyes, his left leg remained straight and motionless, while he bent his right leg and pressed against the young man's right knee.
The young man, whose center of gravity fell on his right leg, was pushed forward and fell. He hurriedly stepped on the ground with his left foot, trying to stabilize his body, but his upper body was still locked by Woman A.
Luo Wusheng struggled and deliberately fell down with all his strength. Seeing this, Woman A let go of him and reached out to pull him up; but the latter held her hands with both hands and pulled her down with him.
The young man was below, and woman A was behind him, and they both fell down together.
Woman A raised her arms, lowered her waist, and turned around with the young man, falling to face the ceiling.
The two people fell under the weight of gravity, and the back of woman A hit the floor heavily, making a deafening sound.
"It's also good to die together."
The bright light on the ceiling dazzled Luo Wusheng's mind, and the loud noise made his heart numb. It was not until he heard the voice of woman A from under him that he came to his senses and quickly turned over to stop pressing on woman A.
The young man sat on the ground and leaned over anxiously, asking, "Are you hurt anywhere?"
The worry in her phoenix eyes was about to overflow, and her slightly dilated pupils were filled with the image of female A.
She originally wanted to tease him, but when she saw the worried eyes, she gave up the idea.
I only felt something at the moment I fell to the ground, but it wasn't painful.
Shi Hanqiao propped himself up and stood up, "It's okay."
How can it be okay?!
Luo Wusheng didn't distrust Woman A, he was just overly worried.
"Get up and continue."
She patted the young man's shoulder, dispelling his worries with her actions.
"You attack me." Otherwise, if the young man was purely on the defensive, she would hold back.
The battle continues in the second half.
At first, Luo Wusheng was worried about her back, so he didn't dare to attack too hard or too fast. But when he saw that she easily resolved the attack, a fighting spirit of not giving up surged in his eyes again.
After three hours, he stopped attacking.
The young man tried his best to steady his trembling legs. As his chest rose and fell violently, the sweat-soaked training vest outlined the lines of his waist and abdomen, which were obviously hidden under the undulating black fabric.
Perhaps because of his small frame, the young man, who was only half a head shorter than girl A, had muscles that were not exaggerated but just right, but he looked slim against the black clothes.
Shi Hanqiao stood under the light. Except for her hair tied at the back of her head being a little messy and a little sweat on her forehead, her breathing was not disordered.
"No? It's shorter than last time."
Luo Wusheng's face felt hot, but fortunately, after the intense exercise, he was already emitting heat, so it shouldn't be noticeable.
He glared at Female A. "After the group battle in the Star Realm this afternoon, I fought against them individually."
The phoenix eyes were misty, and the corners of the upturned lips of the girl A who was stared at paused, and she lowered her ink-black eyes.
She walked over and looked at the bruises on the young man's bare arms. They were definitely not left over from the fight with her.
"So did you win?"
“…”
The young man was already exhausted, and remembering what happened in the afternoon, he slipped and fell.
When Woman A reached out her hand, he took advantage of the situation and put his arm around her neck, hanging his whole body on her, and said sullenly, "No, I lost five games in a row."
The young man's physique is S+, and his mental strength is temporarily at 2S+, but his teammates, whether Alpha or Beta, currently have mental strength and physique of 2S. Ulysses' mental strength and physique have even touched the 3S barrier.
Through this semester's training, they can all steadily enter or reach the 3S level.
But he is an Omega, and it is much more difficult for him to improve his mental strength and physical fitness unilaterally than for Alpha and Beta, let alone improve both aspects at the same time.
When the two teams are at the same level or the gap is not big, non-hard strength factors such as experience, skills or mentality can be used to make up for the difference in the battle. However, once the level gap is too large, absolute strength can completely crush the opponent.
Shi Hanqiao pinched the back of his neck and transmitted a burst of mental energy to him before saying, "Do you want to rest for a while or take a shower?"
"Go now."
He was afraid that if he stayed any longer, he would not want to leave the embrace filled with the scent of lily of the valley.
Shi Hanqiao picked up the person and carried him horizontally into the bathroom as usual. She turned around and went to the bathroom next door.
Warm water gushed out from the shower head, and wisps of hot steam filled the small space.
Woman A closed her eyes, tilted her head back and wiped her face, letting the water flow down.
Although I had separated from the young man, the scent of Versilia still seemed to linger in my breath.
The images of couples kissing, hugging and cuddling in the Star-Moon Lake emerged in her mind, and the picture finally stopped at the young man in her arms. Woman A suddenly opened her eyes, her pupils as black as ink, filled with dark emotions.
To be precise, artificial respiration is not a kiss.
She saw how her friends interacted with each other on StarNet, being generous and warm.
Kissing on the cheek between friends is not considered crossing the line.
but...
She felt inexplicably irritable, a feeling that eased when the young man was around her.
She would tease him, but in fact she wanted to get in touch with him, but she didn't know how.
Maybe it was because of their personalities, so she and Luo Wusheng couldn't hug and play like those cheerful friends on Starnet.
The Demon Lord, who has never been afraid of difficulties and obstacles in his spiritual practice, is stumped by the distance between humans and the interactions between friends.
The Demon Lord never makes things difficult for himself. He just puts aside the emotions he can't figure out and follows his inner thoughts.
She liked the smell of Versilia and wanted the young man to be close to her.
The Qingxin Jue operates automatically like breathing, and does not require any subjective control from the brain.
But the dryness dissipated and gathered again, and the warm water suddenly cooled, dripping and dispersing the fog in the room.
Woman A dried her body, changed into a tank top, and put on a bathrobe.
He walked out of the bathroom while wiping his head with a towel.
Leaning against the outer wall, the air of Versilia still lingered in the room, and the sound of water dripping next door was heard constantly.
After a while, the sound of water stopped.
After a while, there was the sound of the door opening.
Girl A tilted her head to the right, paused wiping her hair, and strode towards the young man.
The young man was wearing white pajamas and a bathrobe of the same color. The belt was not tied tightly and the robe hung loosely, and the foreign color was clearly visible in the half-open collar.
Shi Hanqiao reached out and pulled open his bathrobe, staring intently at his bruised body.
"What's going on?!"
