"Shaga, Astraea Familia. Well... I've only been an adventurer for a week, so my position is barely a center back. I trust fists and feet more than weapons."
Sakura frowned and asked:
"I heard that you defeated the enhanced Minotaur by yourself. We will be teammates from now on, and we need to understand your combat power."
"It's just a monster on the ground."
Xia Jia emphasized and explained:
"I am quite talented in combat. As for my ability value... please measure it as above A-level. As for my specific combat power, please understand it as having excellent skills like Master Takemurai."
When Ming heard what Xia Jia said, he immediately became interested: "Then can you give me a chance to learn from you?"
"Alright."
Xia Jia agreed: "This is the most direct way."
Several people found an empty alley, held the knife handles, and took up their positions.
"Be careful."
"bring it on."
With a clang, Ming drew his sword and rushed forward, Xia Jia stood upright. It was the first time for him to fight against a human, but he was not afraid at all. Or it could be said that fighting with humans was his home ground.
The court is a battlefield. In a basketball game, facing a wild beast that has unleashed its nature is much more difficult than dealing with adventurers. Not only do you have to dribble the ball, but you also have to use all kinds of strange moves to dodge other people's bodies.
"Compared to them, your knife is too slow."
Xia Jia leaned slightly to the side, and the blade brushed past his chest. After dodging the thrust, he slid in the direction of the blade and took a small step back.
In the moment of dodging the horizontal slash, Xia Jia's body suddenly rushed in front of Ming, and Xia Jia's control of the distance on the court was brought to the extreme.
Before he could prepare, Xia Jia had already come close to the opponent. The tips of their noses were only three centimeters apart, and Xia Jia could feel the other's breath.
The next second, while Ming's pupils contracted, Xia Jia elbowed Ming in the chest, but the distance was too close and the knife was completely useless.
Ming kicked with his hind legs, trying to create some distance, but Xia Jia didn't use his full strength and only used a feint. After Ming reacted, he instantly changed his move to a small jump and delivered a whip kick from top to bottom.
He was hit by a series of moves and lost his composure. He dropped his sword in panic and crossed his hands to block.
boom.
With just one strike, the door was wide open. He stepped back several steps and when he looked up again, the sword in his hand was already held on Xia Jia's shoulder.
If Xia Jia had taken advantage of the victory and stabbed him directly with a knife, he would have definitely died with a pierced heart.
"You, how did you do that?!"
Ming was in disbelief. You know, she was a disciple of Jian Yulei. Even if Xia Jia had an ability advantage, he couldn't defeat her easily.
Xia Jia raised the corners of his mouth and revealed a warm smile:
"Nothing, just a simple feint. You're being careless, Miss Yamato."
This is the fact. Xia Jia relied on his perfect control of distance and 100% body control in the "zone". With a simple fake move, he created a flaw in Ming's offense and defense.
all in all……
The basketball court trained Shaka to dodge close combat and move around, while tennis gave Shaka the nerves to dodge flying props and effectively counterattack.
After receiving the grace, Xia Jia has been upgraded in all aspects. Even with his eyes closed, he can judge the trajectory and landing point of flying props.
For example, a certain missing shot.
In Shaga's words...
"I have awakened to the color of seeing and hearing."
After Xia Jia pointed out his fate, he did not admit defeat. Instead, he bit his lips and shouted:
"Come again!"
As he said that, he rushed forward with bare hands, and this time they compared their fist and foot skills.
Xia Jia did not give up his advantage and relied on his body skills to avoid Yamato Ming's attacks.
As long as he used Yamato Ming's fist as a free hand to steal the ball, Xia Jia could easily dodge the attack and keep a safe distance for himself.
Just dodging all the time will not be a solution, but facing Yamato Ming, if you attack rashly, you will reveal your flaws.
Xia Jia's thoughts raced, and the shadow of an opponent flashed through his mind.
Then he shook his body, clenched his fists, and made a fake attack move with his left and right feet.
Ming had already gotten used to Xia Jia's dodging, and was now concentrating on looking at Xia Jia's body.
"Left? No, right!"
Ming determined Shaka's position and predicted the attack.
But at the moment of throwing the punch, Xia Jia shook again, and his left and right feet exerted force alternately.
"Still on the left!"
Fate changes direction.
"Kneel down." A cold voice sounded.
Ming was just about to move closer and deal a fatal blow to Xia Jia, but his lower body suddenly went limp and he fell backwards unconsciously.
"Too hasty, Ming-chan."
At this time, Xia Jia was standing there, looking down at the girl who fell to the ground with her buttocks. Then he stretched out his finger and flicked the girl's forehead.
"What happened?"
Ming looked up at Xia Jia with cold sweat on his face.
"Oh. Sorry, I was a little too into the role." Xia Jia covered his face and rubbed it hard.
In order to imitate the moves of his former opponent, he couldn't help but enter the opponent's inhuman state.
Eye of the Emperor of Heaven.
Akashi Seijuro's skills.
Utilizing absolute nerve reactions and dynamic vision, one can see even the slightest movement of the opponent, including breathing, heartbeat, sweating, and muscle contraction, and make corresponding countermeasures.
It can even trick the opponent into making movements contrary to their intentions, causing them to lose their balance in an instant.
This is an operation that can only be performed when one's physical fitness and observation ability are absolutely overwhelming the opponent.
But in the eyes of Sakura and others, Xia Jia just shook his body slightly while standing and fell down.
Crushing, naked crushing, has nothing to do with strength, it is a crushing of pure skill and reaction.
"Is everything okay?"
When Ming was stunned, a hand was extended to him.
She looked at the white and tender hand in front of her for a long time without saying a word.
Chapter 35 Black Cat and Black Cat
Xia Jia pulled Ming up from the ground, brushed off the dust on her body and said with a smile: "What's wrong? I said that my ability value has reached above A. It's normal for you to lose."
"It's impossible for a normal person to improve his ability to that level in just one week! Is it a skill?" Ming reacted quickly.
Sakura warned with a serious look: "Life! Don't ask too many questions."
Xia Jia shrugged: "It's okay, but this is a clan secret."
Several of them were just temporary teammates, and most of their abilities were clan secrets, so it was a bit excessive for Ming to say that.
"Anyway, we have a rough idea of each other's strengths, so let's pack up and get ready to go."
"Then please take care of me in the future, Mr. Xia." Sakura bowed respectfully and asked.
He knew very well that Xia Jia's strength was far superior to his own, and if they could build a good relationship with him, he would lend a helping hand if he encountered danger.
The seven people put on their equipment and walked towards the city gate. Because it was a commission from the guild and the incident had escalated, the city guards provided four batches of horses.
Xia Jia pointed at the snorting horse and frowned:
"Sorry, I've never ridden on this thing."
The horse seemed to understand; it snorted and stepped away with its hooves.
Hey? You're discriminating against me?
The members of the Jianyu Lei clan have already mounted their horses in groups of three or four and are ready to set off.
Seeing Xia Jia like this, Ming took the initiative to extend his hand: "Come, sit behind me."
After a pause, seeing that Ming was sincere, Xia Jia did not refuse. He held her hand and turned over.
The free Chigusa secretly hid behind Sakura and followed Sakura to mount the horse.
The horse galloped towards the forest outside the city. Xia Jia also leaned his head on Ming's shoulder and said, "Sorry, I need to recover my mental strength."
Then, he closed his eyes and fell asleep.
……
Blacksmith shop.
The remaining Takemikaze Raijin came to the backyard according to the contract.
The first thing he saw was Tuo Shou playing happily with some goblins, but this was an internal secret of the Astralia family, so he didn't think much about it, but directly reminded Tuo Shou how to train.
Later, Cecil came and joined the teaching team.
jingle.
After a while, the wind chimes at the door of the shop rang, and the black cat returned to the base carrying a small cloth bag.
She was wearing a black Gothic outfit, with a pair of lively cat ears on her head, and a strange report on her face:
"I am back."
"Ah, Liuli-chan, this is the new look of the Night Queen." Astraea glanced at the black cat and smiled.
At this time, the city guard with a serious face followed behind him and reported:
"I'm sorry, Lady Astraea, due to some special circumstances, we have to report to you. Your followers..."
"Actually..." The black cat scratched his face and said embarrassedly: "I think my magic has awakened."
Not so long ago…
Because of the shortage of materials for making the Night Demon costume, Black Cat went out to buy them with part of the task reward given by Xia Jia.
At the entrance of a dark alley next to the avenue, I saw a pitiful black cat licking dried fish.
There is no doubt that Kuroneko likes cats, otherwise he would not call himself Chiba's Fallen Saint Kuroneko. But due to family conditions, he has no chance to keep one.
Nowadays, it seems that you can satisfy your little desires in games.
"It's obvious that this child has been abandoned, and his body is covered with wounds. He's so pitiful." The black cat's eyes turned into cat eyes and he approached cautiously.
The cat seemed to notice something was wrong with the black cat, so it gave up the food in its mouth and glared at it:
"Get away! Stupid human, if you come any closer, Meowth-sama will curse you!"
The black cat ignored the kitten's ruffled hair and lifted his temples, teasing:
"Ah, look what I found? Poor kid."
“What? Stupid human, if it weren’t for Master Cat’s carelessness…, humph, never mind, just look down on me as much as you want. When my injuries are healed, humans will finally surrender to my claws!”
"Hmph, are you still pretending to be stupid? I have seen through your true form!" The black cat covered his forehead and stretched out his arm with his five fingers spread out.
"Nani! We're exposed! Masaga!" Lord Meowth widened his eyes, looking confused.
"Admit it, half of my body will return to the embrace of the Night's Clan. In this way, the endless Night Empire will eventually revive! Cool, huhuhuhu!" The black cat posed and laughed sinisterly.
“Oh, what a terrifying aura! Oh no, meow, I’m going to die! I’m going to be this man’s slave forever, meow!”
"Don't come over here, ahhhh!"
The black cat made a trembling sound: "Meow~~"
As if feeling too embarrassed, Lord Meow Meow gritted his teeth.
“No, as the second follower of the Supreme Behemoth, I will not give in, meow! I must resist, meow! I must let her know how powerful the curse of the black wind is, meow!”
