Great, we're doomed now!

Although he didn't understand the underlying principles at all, it actually worked!

Despite his mediocre abilities, after being chased for several days, he seemed to have suddenly become enlightened. He made significant progress in both training and actual combat. Enemies that were once troublesome could now be dealt with more easily, and the effect was immediate!

However, in this way... he didn't even have a reason to refuse Ye Shou's "training".

Okay, you win with the Austrian-style education!

Today was another happy day of being "double-teamed" by my parents~

However, before that, Ye Shou probably felt a bit bored and decided to warm up with Dagong first—

"Be careful!"

A shout rang out, and Dagon's fist came crashing down with a whooshing sound.

Ye Shou turned to the side, his fist grazing past his ear. At the same time, he turned his feet and circled to the side, thrusting out a hand chop and lightly tapping the opponent's ribs with his fingertips.

Dagong, in pain, immediately turned around and swung his elbow, but only grazed the afterimage left by Ye Shou.

The two, in human form, moved crisscrossingly in a clearing in the mountains, fallen leaves beneath their feet swirling in the air before gently drifting back down.

Dagon's attacks were like a storm, each punch and kick carrying the ferocious power to shatter rocks and break trees. His fighting style was exactly the same as in his giant form—wide, powerful, and direct!

But Ye Shou's actions were completely different.

His strides were short, and his body barely moved when stationary, appearing almost "rigid," yet he always managed to strike first and dodge with ease, narrowly missing Dagon's punches. Sometimes he would simply shift his weight from his left to his right foot, sometimes he would just turn his shoulder, and Dagon's attacks would slide past him.

Carmilla leaned against a pine tree, arms crossed, her gaze following the two's movements, nodding slightly from time to time. Kengo sat cross-legged on the ground, watching intently, his breathing unconsciously deepening.

"It's empty again," he said softly.

Sure enough, almost at the same time he spoke, Dagon's fist missed its mark once again!

The Dark Giant had lost count of how many times this had happened. Each time he felt he was just a hair's breadth away from striking, but that "hair's breadth" was like a galaxy separating them, and he and Ye Shou were at opposite ends of the spectrum, completely out of reach.

It's definitely not fast enough! Not ruthless enough!

All fancy tricks can be defeated by pure numbers!

He gritted his teeth and quickened his pace, punching out alternately, leaving shallow pits in the ground beneath his feet.

Ye Shou retreated continuously, rendering Dagong's series of attacks futile.

"All you do is hide!" Dagon growled.

"..."

Ye Shou did not answer, but the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.

Suddenly, his actions changed!

No longer simply dodging, his hands began to draw soft arcs in the air. With a flick of his left hand, Dagon's straight punch was deflected, and with a follow-up pull of his right hand, the Dark Giant was pulled forward and staggered.

Flowing Water Rock-Breaking Fist?

No, this is a technique that Ye Shou developed himself in the world of "One-Punch Man". Based on the Flowing Water Rock-Shattering Fist, he added a lot of his own understanding and turned it into the martial art most suitable for this body. You could also say it is a kind of "my style".

After countless real-world battles, it has now been completely integrated into Ye Shou's style!

Standing still, his feet barely moved, his hands continued to move in the air, the movements becoming increasingly fluid. Ripples spread outwards from him, transforming the surrounding hundred-meter space into an invisible vortex.

Upon seeing this, Carmilla straightened up, while Kengo couldn't help but gape.

"Ugh! What..."

Dagon felt like he was swimming upstream in a storm.

Even though Ye Shou was standing more than ten meters away, and there were no obstacles in between, he just couldn't get past him. Every step required ten times his usual strength, and every movement was being pulled, pushed, and twisted by unseen forces!

"What is this?" he gritted his teeth and forced out a few words.

Ye Shou did not answer, but just looked at him quietly.

Call ~

The right hand draws a complete circle in the air, then the five fingers are loosely clenched and slowly pulled backward—

hiss!

The surrounding ripples all stopped in that instant, and then surged wildly into his palm like rivers flowing into the sea, making him the "center" of all things in the universe in an instant!

Dagon's human body was uncontrollably pulled over—

"Oh my! This!"

He tried to resist, but his feet were already off the ground. It was as if an invisible hand was gripping him, and he flew through the air in a beautiful arc, heading straight for Ye Shou.

Ye Shou's right fist is already waiting here!

The moment the fist struck Dagon's chest, all the accumulated power exploded at once!

Instead of pushing outwards, it pulls inwards, confining all impacts within a small area without any leakage.

Dagong didn't even feel any pain. He just felt a sudden darkness before his eyes, and then he found himself lying on his back in a pile of fallen leaves a dozen meters away, looking at the sunlight filtering through the tree canopy...

"What happened?" he asked, bewildered.

Ye Shou withdrew his fist, and the golden ripples around his body immediately dissipated. He chuckled and said, "This is what I'm going to teach you today. Combining the 'power release' of traditional martial arts with the 'contraction and burst' of controlling energy flow will produce incredible results."

Dagong sat up and rubbed his chest... It didn't hurt, but there was an indescribable feeling of tightness in his chest.

He raised his hand and waved it: "I'm not fighting anymore, I can't win!"

After a pause, the Dark Giant added:

"I don't want to learn it either; this is something I can't learn."

Ye Shou laughed and reached out to help him up: "You underestimate yourself too much. With such a good foundation in physical skills, wouldn't it be a waste to keep using such monotonous moves?"

Dagon shook his head: "I know my own limitations. I can't handle things that require a certain 'feeling'."

Seeing that he was like this, Ye Shou did not force him, and turned to look at Jian Wu.

"Me?" Jianwu swallowed hard.

"Come!"

Jianwu stood up with a stiff upper lip, first stretching his shoulders and then assuming a fighting stance.

He had learned some basic fighting techniques and had received training while in the GUTS team. He was more than capable of dealing with ordinary humans, and was even more skilled than Tiriga in a fight.

Of course, now that Triga has undergone Ye Shou's "special training," he has surpassed him in fighting skills.

Now, besides being nervous, he was also somewhat eager to try, really wanting Ye Shou to know about his progress these past few days.

however--

call out!

The world in Jianwu's vision began to collapse~

He didn't even see how Ye Shou made his move; he only felt his feet slip and the world spin around him.

Ye Shou had vanished from sight, and his back was already pressed against the ground. Fallen leaves were shaken up and then slowly landed on his face.

"No, that's not fair! Why doesn't Mom... Miss Carmilla need special training?"

Carmilla's lips twitched, and she glared fiercely at Kengo.

...After the competition, the four of them found a flat rock to sit on.

As the sun set, the mountains and forests were bathed in a warm hue. Ye Shou sat cross-legged and began to explain.

"The core of Ripple Qigong is to generate ripple energy within the body through a special breathing method. This energy can strengthen the body and can also be transmitted to the outside world... Flowing Water Rock-Shattering Fist is a technique that utilizes power generation... Here, it's built on the foundation of ripples, combining energy with physical techniques..."

Although it contains the words "flowing water," this is not about "overcoming strength with softness"... Don't use it on people lightly in ordinary times..."

Dagon, Kengo, Triga, and Carmilla—at least two of them weren't the type to listen attentively in class, but having witnessed the pinnacle of "skill," they became more patient as they yearned for it.

To be honest, many of the details require a certain level of understanding to comprehend, and they are quite difficult to explain... Fortunately, he had already laid the foundation for these people beforehand, so although it would require more explanation, it wouldn't be like casting pearls before swine.

"As for the Cosmic Beast Fist," Ye Shou paused, "that's a higher-level technique. Physical skills are secondary; the important thing is to find a mythical beast that is compatible with you... This requires first understanding the essence of the mythical beast, and then integrating its characteristics into your own fist technique."

Dagon pondered, "That Diablo? No wonder his punches were so heavy, he had the power of a mythical beast... the Cosmic Mythical Beast Fist..."

"Diavolo stole someone else's Cosmic Buffalo and went down the wrong path!"

Ye Shou shook his head: "The true Cosmic Beast Fist emphasizes 'the unity of form and spirit,' not simply driving its power, but resonating one's own will with the will of the beast."

He stood up, lowered his shoulders and elbows, slowly assuming a stance, and crossed his hands—

With just a simple movement, a phantom image vaguely appeared behind him, like a flowing light. The music flashed with the image of a ferocious beast. Although it only lasted for a moment before dissipating, all three of them felt that vast and desolate aura.

—The Cosmic Water Buffalo has submitted to Ye Shou so quickly!

Carmilla asked him how he "trained" him to be so obedient, but Ye Shou shrugged, indicating that he simply reciprocated with sincerity, which earned him a huge eye roll from the dark giantess.

Actually, there's no secret. Ye Shou's charisma is very high, and his talent is enough to master the Phantom Beast Fist. The Cosmic Water Buffalo itself is a being with its own will. Ever since it was snatched from its previous master by Diablo, it has been serving him unwillingly...

Although Ye Shou is also "stealing," because it dislikes Little Taurus even more, it actually has a good impression of Ye Shou.

Jianwu asked earnestly, "How long will it take to learn all of this?"

Ye Shou thought for a moment: "Judging from your talent, it would probably take you a year and a half?"

Kengoku's shoulders immediately slumped...

“However,” Ye Shou changed the subject, “I can give you more guidance during this time. Feel free to ask me anything you don’t understand.”

"really?"

"Well, since I'll be leaving soon, I'll try to teach you as much as I can before then."

The air suddenly became quiet.

Dagong and Jianwu stared, speechless for a moment.

Carmilla, who had been playing with a fallen leaf, stopped.

"Leave?" Dagon frowned. "Where to?"

"I originally came from another world, that's no secret."

"But……"

"There's no 'but' about it." Ye Shou smiled. "Every world has its own trajectory, and I can't stay here forever."

Dagon paused for a moment, then stood up.
