Twin Cities: I am the man of many myths

Chapter 245 Fighting is fun!

"What are you still doing here?"

"Uh, I need to protect you?" Fura stammered as Lissandra suddenly pointed at her. Her mouth was indeed frozen by Lissandra, but she could still make a sound.

“Protect me?” Lissandra looked at Fura with a hint of helplessness, then said coldly, “Get lost.”

"Yes," Fura said, somewhat annoyed.

No, if she's asked that, what else can she say besides that she stayed to protect Lissandra?

Could it be that she also wanted to stay and watch Li Ke fight? But she had just angered Lissandra, and if she couldn't say these words, it wouldn't just be that her mouth would be frozen for a week, but she would probably turn into a human ice sculpture in front of the Frostguard Fortress for the tribesmen to watch and admire.

Ha. Even Fura has her pride, you know? She's an old Iceborn who's lived for hundreds of years, after all.

Thinking of this, Fura had no choice but to leave, but before she left, she heard Lady Lissandra's voice.

"Such skill, huh, I must say, as expected of an Icathian, Sejax."

"But what's wrong with this swordsman? The sword energy he unleashes clearly resonates with the power of the material realm, yet it can still injure the soul? Can he sever the spiritual realm with his sword?"

Lissandra watched with great interest, occasionally muttering to herself and expressing her own opinions.

Meanwhile, inside the ice tomb created by Lissandra, a tall, muscular purple-skinned figure was battling a slightly greenish figure. Another figure was seen wandering around nearby, trying several times to join in, but unable to find an opportunity to enter. He stood there scratching his head, his face full of anxiety and embarrassment, like a jumping monkey.

"puff--"

Outside, Lissandra chuckled upon seeing this.

She floated back to her throne, sat down, bent slightly, and leaned forward to observe the situation inside.

Li Ke's current behavior reminded Lissandra of something Li Ke once said: "You Freljord people, that's enough! With your attitude, you can't even seize the opportunity to enter the factory!"
At that time, Lissandra didn't understand what Li Ke was saying for a moment, mistaking "enter the factory" for "enter the field," but now it's clear that it's still useful.

You'd better time your entry well, Li Ke!
"Oh!"

"Indeed, Yi, you are exactly the kind of opponent I want most!"

Yi Kuai wielded his sword swiftly, creating countless beautiful sword flowers that forced Jax back, but Jax only stumbled back a few steps.

He and Yi did not use their source power; they only used martial arts skills to fight.

Seeing Jax leap over, Yi smiled, flicked his wrist slightly, and then his longsword conjured countless sword shadows, shimmering with iridescent light, and struck towards Jax's face.

It's hard to tell what's real and what's fake.

Upon seeing this, Jax laughed loudly, then suddenly raised his left leg and kicked the Eternal Flame, which had broken free of the cloth seal and revealed its true form. Jax then used three fingers of his right hand to grip the tail of the Eternal Flame, his hands wide open, his left hand holding the front of the Eternal Flame. At first glance, Jax's movements looked like he was wielding a large spear.

But then, the sword shadow came, Jax loosened his left hand, but his thick two fingers snapped upwards, and his right hand also climbed up to grasp the middle of the Eternal Flame.

Jax held the Eternal Flame in his right hand and, using the force from his earlier strike to the front of the Eternal Flame, spun it around.

The flames were swirled into a circle as Jax blocked all of Yi's attacks. At the same time, he pressed forward, waving his hands in front of him, making the Eternal Flame dance impenetrably.

Seeing this, he had no choice but to retreat. In terms of strength, he was far inferior to Jax, and in terms of weaponry, the weapon in Jax's hand was clearly not an ordinary item.

Therefore, Yi leaped back lightly, his eyes intently fixed on Jax's shoulder, searching for an opportunity to counterattack.

"Starting with the fancy moves?" Rick stood to the side, feeling restless. When he saw Jax reveal this move, his eyes lit up.

Then, he tried to learn and lifted Aatrox up.

"Li Ke, what are you doing? You want to copy him? Try it, try kicking me!"

Ignoring Aatrox's call, Rick lifted his foot and tried to imitate Jax's movements.

Incidentally, he also suppressed his power, but to Rick's dismay, he couldn't achieve the perfect defense that Jax possessed.

It's not that Aatrox was causing trouble, but rather that Rick himself simply couldn't do it. Even though he used about the same amount of strength and speed as Jax, Rick would occasionally feel a sense of powerlessness and slippage when wielding Aatrox.

Is it because swords and staffs have different shapes?
No. If Jax were carrying Aatrox, he would definitely be able to dodge Aatrox completely.

Don't forget, Jax is a weapon master. He wields the Eternal Flame and carries a weapon that resembles a lamppost, not because the Eternal Flame is particularly useful, but because it is the last symbol left behind by Icathia, and Jax must carry it with him at all times.

Therefore, Li Ke watched with great interest, afraid that he might miss a single detail.

While Yi and Jax were having a fierce battle, they were actually keeping an eye on Li Ke.

Seeing that after Li Ke tried several times without success, he actually chose to watch the two fight from the sidelines and then began to imitate their movements, both Yi and Jax were somewhat surprised.

Lee's behavior, to put it bluntly, is stealing techniques, something neither Jax nor Yi would do.

Because they were "masters," yet Li Ke, whom they considered one of their own, did this.

Moreover, he learned it secretly, and he did so openly and honestly.
Inevitably, Jax and Yi were somewhat distracted while watching Li Ke's imitation, because they were very curious: Didn't this guy Li Ke have the pride of a strong person?

How did he come up with the idea of ​​secretly learning other people's martial arts skills?

Seeing Li Ke mimicking his sword swing again, Yi couldn't help but speak up while parrying Jax's attack: "When you exert force, you need to pay attention to rotating your hips. Li Ke, watch my movements carefully. This is how I exert force with this sword."

With that, Yi flicked his wrist, and the longsword, spinning with power, pierced towards Jax's face.

Li Kexue thrust out his sword, and Yi watched, frowning: "No, you need to make the sword have a rotating force, so you need to learn the correct way to exert force. Just swinging your arm and shaking your wrist is not enough."

"Your sword strikes are straightforward; they may be powerful, but they lack finesse."

"Pay attention to every part: shoulders, feet, waist. Don't just think about stabbing at the target in front of you, but imagine that you are using a whip and you are lashing it at the target."

Yi then gave another demonstration.

Seeing this, Jax snorted coldly, "Why should Rick only learn your moves?"
You're lecturing me right in front of me?

I admit you are very strong, but when it comes to martial arts knowledge, if Jax considers himself second, then who dares to claim first?

As the Eternal Flame was swung down heavily again, Jax shouted, "Watch closely, Rick! The move you just stole from me is quite similar to the sword techniques Yi mentioned."

Rick looked at Jax again and began to imitate him.

He hadn't systematically practiced these techniques, but his god-like soul strength gave Li Ke an extremely strong learning ability. Although the moves he imitated were still lacking, they did have a certain flavor of them.

This was enough to make Yi and Jax look at him with new respect. So, without Li Ke's knowledge, Yi and Jax exchanged a glance.

"How to say?"

"Give it a try?" "Okay, let's give it a try then."

They exchanged glances, and after exchanging a blow, Jax and Yi simultaneously rushed towards Rick.

The Eternal Flame and the Wuju Blade were both aimed at Li Ke. Upon seeing this, Li Ke was initially stunned, but then immediately understood Jax and Yi's intentions.

Against Yi, Li Ke used the swordsmanship Yi had just taught him to defend; against Jax, Li Ke used the moves Jax had taught him.

"Damn! That really hurts!" With a cry of pain, Rick's wrist, which was gripping Aatrox, was slapped horizontally by the Easy Sword.

"No, it's too slow!" Yi moved closer to Li Ke, flipped his hand to grip the sword, and pressed the hilt against Li Ke's waist. He said, "Lower your waist a little more. You need to remember the feeling when you exert force in this area. Feel the tension that comes with the rotation of your waist muscles."

With Yi's help, Li Ke instinctively thrust out his sword—

The Darkin Greatsword, which should have been incredibly heavy, was now as light as a falling leaf.

In Li Ke's eyes, Aatrox's lunge was slow, but the next second, the tip of his sword was already in front of Jax.

Jax leaned back to dodge the greatsword, and at the same time raised Eternal Flame, striking Aatrox with his staff. Jax then closed in on Leek like Yi did, raising his leg and kicking Leek's right leg with a light kick that changed Leek's stance.

"Sink down, feel the power the earth gives to your legs, and use your wrists to flick the hilt of the sword. Pay attention to the angle when you rotate." Another finger struck Rick's right forearm. Rick felt pain, but at the same time, he felt a force enter his body, causing Aatrox, who was being lifted up by the Eternal Flame, to begin to rotate.

then
Aatrox was truly moved by Rick's dance.

He was suppressing his power at this moment. Aatrox was very important to him, which was why Li Ke's imitation was always off. If he really used his full power, Li Ke could definitely imitate it to an 80-90% degree.

But that kind of imitation only used Li Ke's powerful strength to create the techniques of Jax and Yi; he himself did not use those techniques.

But now, with Yi and Jax personally guiding him, Li Ke quickly grasped something.

With the personal guidance of two of humanity's strongest beings, and the fact that Lee was no fool and had exceptional adaptability, he quickly found his footing with the help of Yi and Jax.

"Come again!"

Somewhat excited, Li Ke looked loudly at Yi and Jax and spoke up.

Yi and Jax exchanged a glance and laughed at the same time.

"I see now. You said you wanted to spar together, but now it seems you're here to steal our moves."

“It’s not considered stealing; I promised Li Ke I would teach him the Wuji Sword Technique,” ​​Yi said, shaking his head.

Seeing this, Jax was somewhat surprised and tentatively asked, "Can I learn your swordsmanship?"

"Of course, as long as they are genuinely willing to learn and are willing to work hard, I am willing to teach them," Yi said with a smile.

Seeing this, Jax snorted and said, "I won't learn your swordsmanship for nothing. Yi, I will also teach you my unique master-level power generation technique."

Yi nodded: "Okay."

Li Ke remained silent.

His only skill is the Wind-Riding Sword Technique, but while it might have some value for Yi, it's not very useful for Jax.
Isn't that just a toy?
Fortunately, Yi and Jax never intended to learn anything from Li Ke.

After all, judging solely by skill, Li Ke is really a noob.

Lissandra watched silently for a while, then yawned, feeling a little bored.

Because Li Ke, who was initially beaten by two powerful human beings, gradually gained the ability to fight back.

Although she was still being beaten, Lissandra could see that if given enough time, Li Ke would change everything.

Lee is a human with the power of laws, a power that even Jax doesn't possess. After mastering the power of laws, he will become very familiar with the power source of Runeterra.

In other words, Li Ke will soon be able to master the skills that the two people are teaching him.

Ha, that's no fun. Lissandra would rather see Li Ke get beaten up than watch him learn skills and master martial arts.

Seeing that there was no more fun to be had, Lissandra smacked her lips, reinforced the ice layer once more, then closed her eyes and entered a dream state.

I've lost count of how much time has passed—half a day? A day? Or two?

Li Ke wasn't sure, but he knew that Yi and Jax were also extremely excited, including himself.

Yi and Jax were excited because they discovered that Lee was really strong. When they first met, Lee was looked down upon by Jax because he had great power but didn't know how to use it.

But now, Jax wouldn't say that, because Lee has mastered certain techniques for generating power.

Yi was excited because he discovered that Li Ke had already grasped some of the secrets of the Wuji Sword Technique!

But Rick has never meditated!

This... Yi dared not even think about it. Li Ke, who had never even entered a meditative state, yet possessed the sword in his heart, just how powerful was his soul?

And what about Li Ke?

He was excited because
Damn, this battle is awesome!
So cool!
At this moment, Li Ke felt like he was playing a leveling-up game, because the system's real-time feedback gave him a strong positive response!
[Special external force is entering; currently learning and recording progress; 52% complete]

[Special sword intent sensed, analyzing, progress 41%]

That's not the point. The point is that these two skills, which aren't fully progressed yet, are both orange-red!

Orange represents legendary spirits, and after some estimation, Li Ke concluded that it was roughly equivalent to LeBlanc, Xin Zhao, Zed, and Shen.

And what about red?

The skills that Ahri and Kindred bestowed upon Lee were both red, which corresponds to a mythical-level spirit, or demigod.
Now, Jax and Yi's own players are at least legendary level, and some are even vaguely touching the threshold of demigod!
Li Ke even wondered if the reason they hadn't reached the threshold of demigods was because Jax and Yi, while possessing the combat power of demigods, didn't have divine status.

So that's why it's orange-red?!

In short, the prospect of mastering a new skill, and such a powerful one at that, filled Li Ke with satisfaction.

This also confirms that Li Ke's guess was correct: becoming stronger doesn't have to rely on the system; it can be done by relying on oneself!
Thinking of this, after being hit by Jax's club again and staggering back several steps, Li Ke excitedly picked up Aatrox and charged forward.

"Come on, keep fighting!"

Hmm... wait, is there something I've forgotten?
