Intense Training
Xia Fei's bodily functions were recovering at an unimaginable speed. After a night of rest, Xia Fei's body was already eighty to ninety percent recovered, and he could feel his body brimming with energy.
After breakfast, Xia Fei made his way to a spot about two hundred kilometers west of the base to continue his training.
A lone boulder stood in the middle of the desert, standing about five meters tall and nearly two meters in diameter.
Xia Fei began running around the boulder at a constant speed, treating it like an opponent.
All of a sudden! Xia Fei's figure flashed and appeared on the west side of the boulder, his Chasing Light stabbing out. Logically speaking, this stab should have landed on the west side of the boulder, but when the blade landed, he realized that it had actually landed on the north side of the boulder!
A diversion!
If there was a slow-motion replay, one would be able to clearly see that Xia Fei had forcefully changed the shape of his body the instant he made his move. His feet took a few agile steps, and his body made an incredible turn. From the violent twisting of his body to the change in his footwork to the final diagonal thrust of Chasing Light, all of these actions were completed in an instant.
* Shing! *
Chasing Light sank into the boulder, leaving behind a deep cut.
Though he had completed the move, Xia Fei had lost his balance and landed heavily on the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.
Phantom walked up to the boulder and looked at the cut Xia Fei had left behind. The force you used when you stabbed was a little unstable, causing the angle of the blade to deviate by two centimeters. Furthermore, the two sides of the cut are a little wider. This is caused by your slow retracting speed.
"The Crafty Thrust technique not only requires strength, but more importantly, precision. It has to be as precise as a scalpel. After a cut, the incision left behind must be tightly integrated with the blade, forming a whole. Insert Chasing Light into the incision and see for yourself."
Xia Fei nodded. He got up from the ground and inserted Chasing Light into the cut, shaking it left and right. The cut was very loose, just like a substandard scabbard, which was slightly overmade.
"The root of the problem is still your body. When you use Crafty Thrust, your body will temporarily lose its balance. You need to find a balance point in the shortest time possible through your own body's coordination. Although you did the move just now, you couldn't find a good fulcrum. That's why you fell and the blade was so loose."
Balance techniques have to be experienced on your own. Everyone has a different balance point. Some people need to take a big step to adjust to this point, while others only need to turn their bodies slightly. If you want to quickly find a way to maintain balance at your body's limits, the only way is to practice and experience it. No one will be able to help you. Phantoms tone was gentle as he shared his experience and understanding with Xia Feis.
Crafty Thrust's movements were unimaginable. At the moment of changing moves, his entire body would be in a state of extreme distortion. Sometimes, his body would even be twisted like a fried dough twist.
This required the coordination, toughness, explosive power, and balance of the body to work together to support this kind of abnormal move. Any deviation would lead to the final failure.
Xia Fei did not say a word. His eyes were fixed on this immobile enemy. It was as if he was really immersed in a battle of life and death. He did not slack off just because it was a rock.
Speed up, change moves, thrust, fall.
Speed up again, change moves again, thrust again, fall again.
Speed up again, change moves again, thrust again, fall again.
Fall again and again, and get up again and again. Xia Fei was like a robot, repeating these movements without stopping.
In a moment of carelessness, Xia Fei broke his chin, and red blood flowed out.
Xia Fei grabbed a handful of dirt and pressed it on the wound to stop the bleeding. He stood up and threw himself back into training without any hesitation.
A layer of skin on his palm was scraped off, and he similarly used a handful of dirt to stop the bleeding.
His elbow hurt from falling, so he punched it twice with his fist, causing it to go numb from the pain.
Crazy!
The craziest and most arduous training!
He did not stop from dawn to dusk. Even when he was eating, Xia Fei used it to think about his movements.
Every two hours, Xia Fei would eat twelve cans of food and drink six bottles of mineral water to replenish his stamina.
A large amount of energy was extracted from the food, and it was endlessly replenished to every cell in Xia Fei's body. This kind of crazy training could be said to be at an insane level.
There was a figure in the distance, quietly staring at Xia Fei. She was wearing an Adjudicator uniform, and her pair of slender legs seemed to be exquisitely sculpted, perfectly maintained at the perfect ratio.
Seeing Xia Fei fall time after time and get up again and again, the corner of Ye Xiaohan's mouth twitched a little. Even this famous iceberg beauty could not help but be moved by this stubborn and crazy training.
The setting sun struggled one last time on the horizon before finally disappearing, leaving the land in darkness.
Xia Fei put away his Chasing Light and headed back to the base.
The day after tomorrow was the duel with Chen Dongs. Though Xia Fei really wanted to train a little longer, his rationality reminded him to maintain his stamina.
Ye Xiaohan hesitated for a moment before walking toward Xia Fei. She still had that cold expression on her face, but there was a hint of admiration in her eyes.
Have you been here for a long time? Xia Fei asked when the two of them were a little closer.
They walked side by side, maintaining a distance of five to six meters. Their speed was very slow, and Xia Fei could not run yet. He needed to first recover his stamina and let his aching muscles slowly relax.
Ive specifically investigated Xiao Ruoyu's matter, but unfortunately, Ive been of no help. Im very sorry about her disappearance, Ye Xiaohan stuttered as she spoke.
The word 'sorry' was a foreign word to her. She couldn't remember ever apologizing to anyone. Ever since she was young, she had always been operating according to the most precise steps. She was like a machine, following the rules and rarely making mistakes.
Its not your fault, so you dont have to apologize. Even if you do apologize, you should be apologizing to Xiao Yu's family. Xia Fei smiled. Actually, youre just doing what you were supposed to do that day. I was too impulsive.
A cool breeze blew through the night, and Ye Xiaohan suddenly felt very uncomfortable being with Xia Fei. It was a very subtle feeling, and she was at a loss as to what to do.
If there's nothing else, Ill be taking my leave. Ye Xiaohan was not used to this feeling, so she was in a hurry to leave.
Your opponent in the second round is very strong. Best find more information on him. With that said, Ye Xiaohan disappeared into the distance like a beautiful ray of light.
Thats quite an interesting lady. Too bad she is a little too old, more like your older sister. Phantom muttered to himself as he watched Ye Xiaohan's back.
After dinner and a cold shower, Xia Fei collapsed on his bed and logged onto the interplanetary internet.
The interplanetary internet had a public information collection tool that could search for information based on specified conditions for the user, then compile the information and send it to the user.
This service was not expensive, only requiring ten star coins. Xia Fei had already ordered the AI computer to do an automated search, so the information should have been compiled by now, so it was time to check it out.
He clicked on Chen Dongs information, and after thousands of pieces of information were analyzed by the AI, only those that were useful and not repetitive were left, avoiding the cumbersome problem of having too much information and too much repetitive information.
After looking through it carefully, the image of this Natural Ability combat maniac gradually became clear in Xia Fei's mind.
Chen Dongs, nineteen years old, Ice Ability User, Advanced Star Domain rank, from the Endaro Star Region's Empire of Frost. The Empire of Frost was one of the seven major nations of Endaro, a level 3 civilization, and a very important force in the Endaro Star Region.
The Chen family resided on their own hereditary planet, Planet Daynight Chill. The family was very powerful, and most of the descendants served the empire's military. It was a famous military family, and because they resided on Planet Daynight Chill, they were known as the Daynight Chen family.
Chen Dongs grandfather held the position of defense minister in the Empire of Frost. His father was a navy admiral, and his mother was an outstanding doctor.
Chen Dongs grew up in such a family, and he received military education that martial strength was the most important.
He was extremely belligerent, and looking at his growth history, it was a history of endless bloodshed. No matter who his opponent was, there was no one that Chen Dongs did not dare to challenge. When he was seventeen years old, he challenged a highly respected martial arts expert in the Empire of Frost, and his left arm and two ribs were broken. Two weeks later, when his injuries had healed, Chen Dongs went to challenge the other party's house again.
This time, the other party was very heavy-handed, severely injuring him, but Chen Dongs did not give up. A month later, he challenged the other party again, and the other party had no choice but to shut the door, so Chen Dongs squatted in front of the other party's house for seven days and seven nights, insisting on a fight. In the end, the old senior had no choice but to seek help from Chen Dongs father, and only then was he able to chase this fiend away.
Such a glorious history was innumerable. He was like a cockroach that could not be killed, and the more he could not defeat an opponent, the more he wanted to challenge them. Furthermore, his luck had always been very good; he had been beaten down countless times and stood back up countless times.
Though Chen Dongs was always challenging others, he had never once taken the initiative to kill someone, which showed that he was only a martial arts fanatic and not a homicidal maniac.
Xia Fei furrowed his eyebrows and turned off the AI computer. He picked up the spatial ring he had snatched from Xiao Yong from the bedside table and fiddled with it. The emerald green ring had a gorgeous appearance, and it was very pleasing to the eye.
He simply dumped everything inside onto the bed. After blinking a few times, Xia Fei stared at the messy pile of items, speechless.
