How can there be such a strong superpower?

"For example, most current empowerers can't ignore physical pain. They're just humans with superpowers, so attacking specific pressure points on the opponent's body can also achieve very good results."

"Of course, due to the existence of the technique, it's not easy to achieve this. Because when the Empowered engage in close combat, it's not just a simple fistfight, but also a battle of techniques."

"The technique exchanges mentioned here include the offensive and defensive conversions of body-strengthening techniques, as well as external techniques such as fireballs to prevent and mitigate them."

"So, depending on the specific opponent you're fighting, there will be many variables... I can't teach you how to deal with every different opponent, because experience in this area can only be accumulated through actual combat. All I can teach you is the basics of fighting, and I can also serve as a sparring partner to help you gain experience."

"Before formal training, the first thing you need to remember is where to attack your opponent in order to subdue him most quickly and effectively."

"..."

Xia Panqiu briefly introduced the battle between the enablers, and then slowly walked up to Chen Lusi.

She was petite, and this was even more obvious when she stood in front of Chen Lusi. Her height barely reached Chen Lusi's neck.

"The first is the nasal septum. Attacking this area can cause tears to the opponent and can cause a lot of pain to the opponent."

"Next is the sides of the chin, these two spots can stun the opponent."

"And the throat, sternum, sacrum, wrist joints, biceps, ribs..."

Xia Panqiu began to introduce the weak points of the human body one by one. Every time she mentioned a position, she would gently reach out and press the corresponding position so that Chen Lusi could remember it.

The consequences of attacking these areas are also detailed, ranging from a painful nose to a potentially paralyzed sacrum.

Chen Lusi listened quietly.

About half an hour later.

Xia Panqiu took a step back, raised his head, and whispered, "Everyone knows that the remaining private parts are weak points, so I won't say more... In actual combat, hitting these weak points can often make the opponent fall to the ground faster."

"But conversely, if you are attacked in these places, you will easily fall into a disadvantage, so you must not only learn to attack these positions, but also learn how to prevent your opponent from attacking these positions."

"The existence of the ritual 'eye' allows us to see movements more clearly, but how to allocate the spirit within our bodies, and when fighting, where to use 'armor' to defend and where to use 'partial reinforcement' to attack, all these experiences require actual combat."

"So next... let's fight."

"..."

Chen Lusi briefly recalled the weak points of the human body she mentioned and nodded: "Okay... Do I need to open my eyes?"

Xia Panqiu shook her head. "No, you haven't reached the bleeding stage yet. It's easy to cause serious sequelae... To be fair, I won't use it either."

Chen Lusi asked curiously, "Can't the injuries here be healed?"

Xia Panqiu was slightly startled when he heard this, then whispered, "It still hurts... and without the 'eye', it's easier to train people."

"Is that so? Let's get started then."

Chen Lusi agreed with her and stretched his body.

Xia Panqiu turned around and began to walk away, passing by Wu You.

Wu You said with a mischievous look, "You're quite suitable for teaching people... You're so good at teaching someone the first time."

Xia Panqiu ignored him and walked nearly twenty meters away before stopping. He looked at Chen Lusi and said, "I'm going to be faster. Get ready."

"it is good."

Chen Lusi nodded, assumed a posture to meet the enemy, and stared at Xia Panqiu.

Twenty meters away.

Xia Panqiu took a deep breath, and then... accelerated instantly.

Disappeared in place.

She leaned forward slightly, her pretty short hair flying in the wind as she dived forward.

As she flew past, the surrounding black fog was swept up and split into two sides.

A straight line appears.

Like opening a path.

In a blink of an eye.

She appeared in front of Chen Lusi.

It’s really fast…

Chen Lusi didn't have time to think, he just raised his right arm, and the spirit in his body seeped into the flesh and blood of his arm.

make a fist.

He seized the opportunity and threw a punch at Xia Panqiu who was swooping down on him.

Xia Panqiu stopped instantly and reached out to block his hook punch.

Chen Lusi instinctively raised his other hand and struck her fair neck with a knife.

At the same time, he bent his right knee and struck her abdomen with his knee.

Xia Panqiu looked at the knife in front of him, and facing attacks from two directions at the same time, he lightly turned sideways.

Short hair flying.

Chen Lusi's knife-like hand brushed past her neck, and his knee strike was in vain.

Xia Panqiu saw the opportunity when he was supporting himself on one leg, and without moving his other hand, he lightly kicked his calf.

Chen Lusi suddenly lost his balance and fell forward.

"..."

You really have a way.

Chen Lusi sighed and was ready to meet the ground.

But Xia Panqiu did not step back to avoid it. Instead, she returned to Chen Lusi and held his shoulders with her hands.

"When you're fighting, you can't just focus on attacking. You have to pay attention to the opponent's movements and invade their movements instead of rushing to attack."

Xia Panqiu helped Chen Lusi stand up again and continued, "Unless you're confident in your attack speed... Also, knee strikes and elbow strikes are indeed powerful, but be careful. The knee is both a strong point and a weak point. If I had attacked your knee just now, you might not be able to stand up. If a fight really breaks out, you'll have to pay more attention."

"..."

Chen Lusi showed a pensive expression when he heard this.

Xia Panqiu looked at him, hesitated for a moment, and said softly, "Although you are an Empowerer, spirits are not omnipotent after all... Don't be too discouraged. It's already impressive that you were able to capture my movements in our first actual combat. After all, I learned close combat from Ayue for nearly four years."

Is this... comforting?

Chen Lusi glanced at her and then said, "I understand. Let's do it again."

"it is good."

Xia Panqiu nodded.

Then, two minutes later.

Xia Panqiu's fist landed on Chen Lusi's nose.

Chen Lusi covered his nose and took a few steps back.

Xia Panqiu's delicate body stiffened slightly, and her raised fist stopped in mid-air.

She seemed to want to move forward, but finally held herself back.

"I see."

Chen Lusi rubbed his nose and looked at Xia Panqiu again: "Come again."

"……it is good."

"..."

the other side.

Wu You was sitting on the ground and couldn't help laughing when he saw this scene.

Xia Panqiu obviously slowed down his efforts and looked very guilty.

Something obviously happened between the two of them, although no one knew what it was… but that didn’t stop Wu You from being a fun person.

Chapter 36 I Really Punched Her

"hiss……"

In a space filled with black fog.

Chen Lusi kept shaking hands with Xia Panqiu.

Each fight between the two did not last long.

Often less than a minute.

Chen Lusi would cover the injured part and be defeated.

His previous judgment was correct. If they really fought in real combat without using any techniques, he would indeed be no match for Xia Panqiu.

but……

"Come again."

Chen Lusi rubbed his neck and stood in front of Xia Panqiu again.

Precisely because he was no match for Xia Panqiu, Chen Lusi became even more determined...he couldn't be a pure mage.

Xia Panqiu hasn't taken any real action yet.

If I really encounter an enemy who doesn't use external spells and only focuses on strengthening himself, I will probably be beaten.

So no matter what, you still have to have the ability to protect yourself at close range.

Xia Panqiu looked at Chen Lusi who had stood up again, pursed her lips, and attacked again.

Although Chen Lusi was still at a disadvantage.

But he has made progress... and it's huge.

Although fighting is not his strong point, the transformation of internal techniques is his strong point.

In this regard, he is indeed faster than the average enabler.

Much faster.

For example, the protective spell 'Armor' is used because of the limited spirit in the body and the need for a protracted battle.

Most empowerers don't have the luxury of covering their entire bodies with spirit when fighting.

Because this has no practical value other than making you look like a turtle.

Normally, armor is only used to protect the parts that are about to be attacked.

Because this is the most energy-saving way.

But even someone like Xia Panqiu, who is good at close combat, will feel a certain lag when switching armor.

Although it didn't last long... plus she was so light and had great agility, she could use her agility to dodge attacks even if there was a gap.

But the hysteresis is clearly noticeable.

And when Chen Lusi changed his technique... there was almost no lag.

Just now I saw him using 'armor' to protect his throat.

In a blink of an eye.

He protected his chest with the 'armor' again.

The same applies to other surgical procedures.

The advantage of this fast conversion of techniques allows him to put enough pressure on Xia Panqiu even if his punches and kicks are not as good as Xia Panqiu's.

In order to deal with it, Xia Panqiu had no choice but to increase the frequency of attacks.

He could only rely on speed and experience to break through Chen Lusi's defense.

Fight until now.

She couldn't even control her strength.
