Sivir was a very hardworking person. Li Ke was very sure of that.
Although her arm was already trembling, she still tried her best to swing the sword without any intention of slacking off. However, it was too superficial. The swordsmanship that Di Haluo had taught her was not suitable for her.
Di Haluo's height and arms far exceeded Sivir's, so the swordsmanship that he taught her wouldn't be suitable for her. The intelligent Miss Sivir was well aware of this. Therefore, when Li Ke watched her practice, he could see that she was constantly sharpening her battle techniques. She was gradually adapting the stances that Di Haruo taught her to her own body.
However, if she were to take it slow, she wouldn't be able to take this crucial step even if she practiced for another year.
"Your swordsmanship is too slow. Besides, you're not facing a scarecrow."
Li Ke spoke up.
Amidst the laughter of the other mercenaries and Sivir's angry glare, he slowly stood up and walked to Sivir's side. He looked around, trying to find something that could replace a sword so that he could spar with this young lady. Sivir frowned and stopped what she was doing. She turned to Li Ke, who had a look of 'this is how you should drive' on his face, and asked in displeasure.
"What do you mean?"
Li Ke coughed and beckoned to Sivir.
"Exactly what I mean."
A dangerous expression appeared on Sivir's face, and she didn't hesitate to stab Li Ke in the chest with her sword. If she didn't do anything in the face of such provocation, she wouldn't be able to survive in the mercenary group anymore. When that happened, everyone would want to bully her and bring her endless trouble. Especially since she was a beautiful girl, she would only attract more trouble. She had killed a lot of such idiots in the past, but she couldn't do so in this mercenary group.
The dagger in her hand was as fast as lightning. Even though she didn't intend to kill Li Ke, she used all her strength to inflict another wound on Li Ke's chest. But what she didn't expect was that when she used all her strength to stab Li Ke with the dagger, Li Ke was …
"Too slow."
Li Ke gripped Sivir's sword with two fingers, and as she stared in shock, he slowly twisted his fingers. Sivir's wrist had no choice but to follow his movements. Slowly, Li Ke twisted her sword to an angle that made it difficult for her to exert force.
Not only did this move stun Sivir, but it also made the surrounding mercenaries stop what they were doing. They looked at Li Ke's fingers and Sivir, who was using all her strength but still couldn't move her dagger. Sivir felt endless pressure. Even if she wanted to slash her dagger horizontally to sever Li Ke's fingers, she couldn't do it. She could only barely maintain her posture and prevent her dagger from being snatched away.
"It seems like your teacher didn't teach you much. When your weapon is grabbed, what you should do is …"
As soon as Li Ke's voice trailed off, a pair of elegant legs kicked his lower body. Li Ke reached out and grabbed Sivir's tender legs. Then, he exerted force with both hands and flung Sivir away.
The young lady was horrified to discover that the sky and earth were constantly spinning in her sight. The sword in her hand flew out uncontrollably. She tried her best to maintain her balance and stop herself from spinning in the air. However, Li Ke's strength made all her movements futile. All she could do was to wait for herself to fall to the ground in a daze.
She didn't know how many times she had spun in the air, but she was still in shock when she found herself standing firmly on the ground. She didn't get thrown into the sand by Li Ke as she had expected. And as soon as she realized this, she felt a gust of cold air behind her. Then, she heard the sound of metal piercing into the sand.
She turned her head, wanting to see what it was, but the moment she turned her head, her tied hair came loose, and the hair tie she used to tie her hair was cut. The sword that had cut off her hair tie and pierced into the sand was the sword that had slipped out of his hand at some point in time. And now, the dagger was stuck between her feet, as if silently mocking her for judging a book by its cover.
She stared blankly at her dagger, then turned her head stiffly to look at Li Ke, who was smiling warmly. Li Ke shrugged and raised an eyebrow at Sivir.
"What do you think? Do I have the right to say that you're slow?"
Li Ke played this trick because he was anxious. If he didn't gain Sivir's attention and trust as soon as possible, perhaps the two of them would meet on the battlefield when he fought with the Noxus people. At that time, it would be very difficult to make this girl obediently listen to his arrangements. On top of that, the chances of monsters that mortals couldn't defeat appearing here were very low. That was why Li Ke was in such a hurry to carry out his mission. He wanted to impress Sivir with his combat skills, and use that as a hostage to force the tanned and curvaceous young woman to submit to him …
Cough, is it spring?
After dispelling the strange thoughts in his mind, Li Ke extended his hand to Sivir, who was still in a daze and didn't know how to respond.
"Do you want to learn?"
Sivir remained silent.
At this moment, the mercenaries in charge of clearing the ruins found Di Haluo and the Noxus people in black robes. They reported that they had cleared a tunnel that led underground. And after the Noxus people heard this, they happily said something that Di Haluo didn't want to hear.
"Looks like we can continue moving forward."
Di Haluo was displeased to see the Noxus people immediately send them on an adventure without even allowing them to rest. After all, in Shurima, although tomb raiding had become a profession that everyone participated in, the risks of tomb raiding wouldn't be reduced because of this. The more time he had to prepare, the higher his chances of success.
But now, it really depended on luck. Even Rhode was the same.
