Since his physical abilities improved, he had never suffered such a great loss! And it was at the hands of a woman!
"Admit defeat?"

Qin Luo's voice was hoarse from pain and anger. He slowly straightened up, his chest aching, but his indomitable will burned even more fiercely.

"With your skills? You're still... way off!"

Before he finished speaking, Qin Luo moved! He stopped defending and, like an enraged bull, roared and stomped his feet, charging towards Night Rose with an unstoppable momentum! His speed was so fast that he even left afterimages!

A glint flashed in Night Rose's eyes, and instead of retreating, she advanced to meet the attack!
"Bang bang bang!"

The two instantly became entangled in combat! Qin Luo attacked in anger, relying on his beast-like instincts and extraordinary strength and speed. At first, he actually managed to overpower Ye Meigui with a few punches. The wind from his punches was howling, and the force was heavy, forcing Ye Meigui to retreat and block repeatedly. Her cheongsam was fluttering in the wind from the punches.

But their good fortune didn't last long. After being caught off guard at first, Night Rose quickly regained her footing.

Her movements were extremely agile, like a fish swimming in water. She could always dodge Qin Luo's heavy punches at the last second. At the same time, her hands would either pat or press, or block or parry. Her movements seemed gentle, but she could always neutralize most of the force of Qin Luo's punches.

In just over ten seconds of exchange, Night Rose had quickly figured out Qin Luo's strengths and weaknesses.

The advantages are obvious.

Its movements are swift, its reactions are extremely fast, and its explosive power is astonishing. Its pure strength is probably even greater than mine, and its reaction speed is on par with mine.

This is indeed the quality of a top expert.

But the disadvantages are equally fatal.

The moves are too simplistic! It's just that same simple and direct military boxing routine over and over again! Straight punch, hook punch, swing punch, side kick, elbow strike, back throw... Although Qin Luo uses them with great skill and power, the routine is too fixed and lacks variety.

Night Rose understood. Qin Luo had previously defeated the Wu siblings thanks to his superior reaction speed, while his victory over Buddha was due to overwhelming power. In those two battles, the techniques themselves were not the key to victory.

But now, when faced with someone stronger, more experienced, and more skilled than himself, this set of military boxing, which is mainly used to deal with ordinary criminals and emphasizes simplicity and practicality, is clearly inadequate.

What boosted Night Rose's confidence even more was that she knew the seventeen-form routine of military boxing like the back of her hand! In Anbang Group's training system, military boxing is one of the basic compulsory courses.

She could clearly predict what Qin Luo's next move might be, which part of his body he would attack, and how he would exert force.

This is like playing cards where your opponent's cards are revealed, while yours are unknown.

"The seventh move: a spinning back kick!"

"Eleventh move, tripping leg and pressing elbow!"

"The fourteenth move, lunge punch!"

Night Rose effortlessly dodged and parried while silently counting and anticipating in her mind.

Qin Luo's every move was almost exactly what she expected.

She had even predicted that, at the current pace, she would be able to seize the opportunity when Qin Luo's moves were outdated and he couldn't switch in time, and deliver a decisive blow to him!

Qin Luo grew increasingly frustrated and irritable with each punch! He felt as if he were sinking into an invisible quagmire. Despite his superior strength and speed, every punch he threw felt like hitting cotton, or being easily deflected by his opponent. He was lucky to be able to unleash even half of his full power.

His opponent's moves were exquisite and swift, often attacking from unbelievable angles, making it impossible for him to defend against them, and the bruises and pain on his body continued to accumulate.

Damn it! He can't even win over a woman?! Qin Luo roared inwardly, a mixture of indescribable frustration and rage causing his punches to become somewhat erratic.

Just as Qin Luo was becoming agitated and almost losing his composure—

【Ding! 】

[The host has been detected to be engaged in intense combat, and their fighting style is at a significant disadvantage.]

[A temporary challenge has been issued: Withstand thirty consecutive attacks from Night Rose without losing your fighting ability.]

[Mission Reward: Wing Chun]

[Would you accept the challenge?]

The cold system notification sound, like a sudden awakening, instantly rang in Qin Luo's mind!

Wing Chun?! Proficient level?!
Qin Luo's spirits lifted instantly! Although he was fighting, he vaguely sensed that Night Rose was using a martial art that was extremely adept at close-quarters combat and possessed swift and unpredictable power. Could it be Wing Chun?!

Accept! We must accept!
Qin Luo was overjoyed. His previous agitation and anger were instantly extinguished as if doused with ice water, and he calmed down in an instant. He couldn't win? No problem! As long as he could withstand thirty moves, he would gain mastery of the fist technique his opponent was using! This was nothing short of a godsend—no, a stroke of genius that would turn the tide of battle!
"Accept the mission!"

Qin Luo silently recited in his heart.

[Mission accepted successfully. Current attack level: 0/30.]

With this shift in mindset, Qin Luo's goal immediately became clear. It was no longer about being impatient for victory, but rather—defend, hold on, and keep score!
He toned down his somewhat chaotic offensive and shifted to a more composed defense, aiming to avoid mistakes rather than achieve success. He focused more on dodging and blocking, using his extraordinary reflexes and resilience to withstand his opponent's attacks.

Night Rose immediately noticed Qin Luo's change. From his previous frantic and impatient attacks, he suddenly became calm and resilient. Although his moves were still simple and predictable, his focus and patience had improved significantly.

"interesting."

Night Rose's lips curled slightly, but her attacks became even more ferocious. Since you've chosen to fight back, let's see how long you can hold out!

The ensuing exchange turned into an offensive showcase by Night Rose.

She brought out the characteristics of Wing Chun to their fullest extent—short bridge and narrow stance, skillful use of short-range power, fast punches and tight defense, and a flexible stance with quick rises and falls. The Sun-shaped punches were like a storm, relentlessly bombarding Qin Luo; the finger strikes, shovel palms, shoulder strikes, and open palms... various techniques combined with agile footwork launched attacks from all angles.

Qin Luo, like a reef in a raging storm, crossed his arms to protect his head and chest, constantly shifting his body in small movements to dodge. When he couldn't dodge, he would use the thickest muscles to take the hit. The fifth move, a tricky finger strike, grazed Qin Luo's side, causing a burning pain.

The tenth move was a short, powerful punch that struck Qin Luo's blocking arm, causing half of his body to go numb.

On the fifteenth move, Qin Luo's calf was swept, causing him to stumble and almost fall to his knees.

On the twentieth move, he was punched in the chest again, let out a muffled groan, and blood trickled from the corner of his mouth.

Night Rose grew increasingly alarmed as she fought! Was this guy made of iron?! He had already taken so many heavy blows from her, several of which were aimed at vital points. An ordinary person, or even a skilled fighter, would have fallen long ago! But although he was disheveled, with blood at the corner of his mouth and erratic breathing, his eyes remained sharp, and although his steps were unsteady, he never collapsed!

His ability to withstand blows and his willpower are simply terrifying!
There was no time to lose! A fierce glint flashed in Night Rose's eyes, and her attack suddenly changed again! Faster! More powerful! Her punches and kicks rained down like a storm, completely engulfing Qin Luo! She was determined to shatter this stubborn rock!
Forced to retreat by this sudden escalation of the offensive, Qin Luo retreated until he reached the corner of the office, where he had nowhere left to go!

"twenty five!"

"Twenty-eight!"

"Twenty-nine!"

Night Rose silently counted in her mind, her eyes icy cold. Finally, she unleashed a long-prepared spinning elbow strike, like a battle axe, slamming into Qin Luo's already bruised and rapidly heaving chest! If this strike landed, it would be enough to completely incapacitate anyone!

However, at this critical moment——

【Ding! 】

[Congratulations, host, on completing the temporary challenge mission.]

He withstood thirty consecutive attacks from Night Rose without losing his fighting ability.

[Mission reward distributed. Wing Chun.]

A vast and refined stream of information, like a sudden awakening, instantly flooded into Qin Luo's mind!

Countless experiences and understandings about Wing Chun techniques, mental methods, power generation techniques, and practical applications are deeply imprinted in his memory and body, like an innate instinct! Siu Nim Tao, Chum Kiu, Biu Gee, Wooden Dummy, Eight-Cut Broadsword, Six and a Half Point Pole... he can break down and apply various boxing principles and routines, instantly mastering them!
So that's how it is! This is Wing Chun! Qin Luo instantly understood. The exquisite moves that Night Rose had previously made so difficult for him to understand and defend against now became crystal clear in his eyes!

Its essence of close-quarters combat, using skill to overcome force, and speed to defeat slowness, enlightened him greatly! Compared to the simple and powerful military boxing, Wing Chun's practicality and skill in combat in complex environments are on a completely different level!
The trajectory, force, and possible subsequent changes of Night Rose's final elbow strike, which was determined to win, became clearly discernible in Qin Luo's eyes, who had mastered Wing Chun!

He stopped blocking and stopped retreating.

Just as Night Rose's elbow was about to touch his chest, Qin Luo's hands, which had been hanging down in front of him, moved!
With his right hand in a palm position, back of the hand facing outward, he made a light and swift "spreading" motion, perfectly placing it on the outside of Night Rose's attacking elbow joint, gently deflecting and guiding it! Using minimal force to deflect a great weight!
Night Rose's powerful elbow strike was deflected half a foot to the side by this seemingly effortless deflection, grazing Qin Luo's chest before slamming into the wall behind him with a dull thud, sending dust and plaster flying.

Night Rose was shocked! What was going on?! This move...this technique...why does it feel so familiar?! So exquisite?! It's like the kind of subtle power that only a master who has been immersed in Wing Chun for decades could unleash!

She looked up in surprise at Qin Luo.

Qin Luo slowly raised his head. His eyes, which had been somewhat dim due to being passively attacked, were now frighteningly bright, burning with a fierce fighting spirit and a calm light that saw through everything.

Blood still clung to the corner of his mouth, his chest heaving violently, but his entire aura had undergone a dramatic transformation! He was no longer the arrogant and fierce man he once was, but instead possessed the calm and collected demeanor of a master, a demeanor that concealed a turbulent undercurrent!

Qin Luo looked at Night Rose, who was so close to him, her face filled with surprise and uncertainty, and slowly spoke. His voice was not loud, but it carried an undeniable confidence and power.

"Thirty moves, that's it."

"Sister Rose, shouldn't we finish warming up?"

"Now……"

He suddenly stepped forward, breaking free from the corner, and assumed a perfect Wing Chun orientation stance, his gaze sharp as lightning, locking onto Night Rose.

"It's your turn to fall!"

Qin Luo's words, "It's your turn to fall," resounded like a thunderclap in Night Rose's ears! Watching Qin Luo's standard Wing Chun hand gesture for asking for directions, the turmoil in her heart almost made her lose her composure!
How is that possible?! Just now he was being pressured and could only passively defend and endure, how could his momentum change so drastically in the blink of an eye, and he even adopted such an authentic and elegant Wing Chun starting stance?! This is definitely not a stance that can be imitated on the spot!

Night Rose, being a seasoned expert, was only momentarily stunned. Although doubts swirled in her mind, the sudden surge of oppressive fighting spirit emanating from Qin Luo was undeniable! She dared not be careless, and with a sharp cry, launched the first attack! "Since you started with Wing Chun, then I'll break you with Wing Chun!"
She slid her foot and instantly closed the distance, unleashing a lightning-fast right-hand straight punch aimed at Qin Luo's face! This punch, seemingly simple and direct, actually contained the essence of Wing Chun's short-range power generation—fast, accurate, and ruthless!

Faced with this all-too-familiar attack pattern, Qin Luo, who had just acquired the Proficiency Level Wing Chun, felt that his opponent's movements had become incredibly clear in his eyes, and he could even predict possible subsequent moves.

He neither chose to confront them head-on nor back down.

Just as Night Rose's fist was about to touch his nose, Qin Luo moved!
His right hand, which was originally at his left waist, suddenly shot out, but instead of punching, he spread his five fingers into a palm, flipped his wrist, and at a clever angle, palm down, accurately "slapped" the back of Night Rose's attacking right hand!
"Snapped!"

A crisp sound!

This is not a head-on block, but a typical defensive technique in Wing Chun – “slapping”! The palm strikes the outside of the opponent’s attacking limb or joint, aiming to disrupt the accuracy and power of the opponent’s attack, and even use the opponent’s force against them, causing the opponent to expose an opening!

Night Rose felt a sharp pain on the back of her hand, as if she had been hit hard by an iron ruler. Her entire arm went numb for a moment, and her forward punch suddenly stopped, with most of the force being dissipated!

"Clapping?! You...!"

Night Rose exclaimed in shock! This "clapping" was used with such skill and precision, with a short and crisp exertion of force, that it was definitely not something a beginner or even an ordinary practitioner could do!

In that split second when her old strength was exhausted, her new strength had not yet been generated, and her arm was sore and numb, Qin Luo seized the fleeting opening, took a half step forward in an instant, and his body was suddenly released like a taut bowstring, his right fist suddenly exploding in a very short distance!
"boom!"

A solid Wing Chun punch landed precisely in the center of Night Rose's unsuspecting chest!
"Well--!"

Night Rose let out a painful groan, feeling an extremely concentrated and penetrating force pierce through her body. Her chest felt as if it had been hit hard by an iron hammer, her blood and qi surged instantly, her vision went black, and her body uncontrollably staggered back three steps until her back hit the edge of the mahogany desk, barely stopping her. Her face turned deathly pale in an instant!
She clutched her aching chest, looked up at Qin Luo, and her gaze was filled with disbelief and horror, and a hint of...fear?! (End of Chapter)
