Chapter 171: The kick at the threshold
Translator: CKtalon Editor: CKtalon
Just a single clash allowed Shi Xiaobai to realize a weakness that had never been exposed before. Furthermore, he had used an extremely short amount of time to overcome his shortcomings, as though he had completed a new metamorphosis.
Shi Xiaobai charged at Mu Yuesheng with a broad smile.
As Mu Yuesheng went through the patterns of coldly attacking and retreating, Shi Xiaobai's dodging poses became faster and stranger. Every time she used "Lightning Flashstep" to dodge, he would be tightly on her tail like a maggot.
After an attack failed, he would decisively and calmly produce his next attack. He was completely different from his previous wretched state!
"This hooligan...is improving."
Mu Yuesheng slowly began to feel a bit of pressure, but her eyes were as firm and resolute as usual. This was because not only was Shi Xiaobai improving in battle, she was improving as well!
...
In the solitude of the night, a thin layer of fog descended onto the illuminated track.
However, on the broad running track, there were two figures chasing each other in a brawl.
Shi Xiaobai's footwork was strange and elegant, with cool and composed poses. He was chasing, like a hunter chasing his prey.
Mu Yuesheng did not lift her heels at all. However, she had to constantly transform into a bolt of lightning to escape. She was also constantly shooting out Radiant Charged Bolts. Icy-blue electric sparks constantly flashed as the interweaving of sizzling currents and deafening explosions echoed in the cold night sky.
Neither one of them could overwhelm the other!
Shi Xiaobai was unable to hit Mu Yuesheng, who had "Lightning Flashstep". Even though he could use his fake moves to confuse Mu Yuesheng for a brief moment, the Massage Technique of God's attack was just too long and slow.
Whenever Shi Xiaobai's right hand touched Mu Yuesheng's shoulder, Mu Yuesheng would react and transform into an Lightning Flashstep beam before he could pinch her.
As for Mu Yuesheng, she too could not hit Shi Xiaobai. Other than successfully hitting Shi Xiaobai after his first missed attack, all her other Radiant Charged Bolts had missed their target.
Mu Yuesheng could not defeat the Crab Steps which was at the "Dominating Refinement" realm!
The two of them were momentarily in a stalemate; however, neither one of them felt discouraged. Instead, they mustered even greater fighting spirit. While they clashed, they took every opportunity to grasp their fleeting failures to improve themselves.
This was their second battle, and similarly, neither one defeated the other, but they both defeated themselves.
Although This King has 99.9999% of his power sealed, you are truly a good opponent to be able to last so long under the hands of This King.
Shi Xiaobai guffawed, as he enjoyed the close fight.
Although you are a shameless bastard and you are a hooligan that deserves to die, you are really powerful. If you can right your wrongs...Pui! He is hopeless!
The more Mu Yuesheng thought, the angrier she became. However, she was able to maintain her calm and decisiveness in battle. She could lose to anyone but Shi Xiaobai!
...
This battle lasted for a very long time. The track was filled with holes, but as this was in the middle of the night, and the collective training grounds were rather remote, no one came to stop the battle. If someone came here the next morning, they would probably be scared silly by the desolate scene.
