The more frightening thing is that Tiger Girl’s combat skills are far ahead of them, often winning within just a few moves during a fight with them—which is impressive considering Tiger Girl’s cultivation is short by twenty to thirty thousand Qi Blood Value.
Yet even so, Tiger Girl can crush them solely by relying on her combat skills...
However.
Tiger Girl, who was once unstoppable and t no equal, encountered Xu Ran.
Every attack she launched was absorbed like hitting cotton, effortlessly neutralized.
Tiger Girl steadied her mind and pondered deeply.
Xu Ran: "Changes in your techniques must be sudden, like lightning, not preditated. You’re still overthinking it; you haven’t engraved the concept of change into your very bloodline."
Tiger Girl fell into contemplation.
After a long while, she and Xu Ran tried a few more tis.
A pair of golden eyes grew increasingly bright.
"Big brother, one more ti!"
The two clashed again.
This ti, Xu Ran used both hands, intending to exert so pressure on Tiger Girl.
Tiger Girl took the initiative, her fierce fists attacking ferociously, Xu Ran remained calm, repeatedly side-stepping and striking onto Tiger Girl’s arm’s weak points, preventing Tiger Girl from unleashing her full strength, she rolled her arm, changing her fist to a fierce elbow strike, which demanded defense.
Xu Ran rotated his palm into Tiger Girl’s solar plexus.
Tiger Girl suddenly switched techniques, pulling and entwining, catching Xu Ran’s right arm, forcing it towards her chest.
Xu Ran remained unmoved.
Tiger Girl pulled with effort several tis, her face blushing bright red.
The next second, her other fist lunged at Xu Ran’s face, Inch Force Drilling Fist!
Xu Ran sidestepped swiftly, Tiger Girl grinned cunningly. The Drilling Fist was a feint, in fact, the real attack was Mantis Strikes, aiming at Xu Ran’s chest.
Bang!
Her Inch Force Drilling Fist compressed downward, but Xu Ran’s hands skillfully slipped out, supporting Tiger Girl’s elbow arm, gently lifting upwards.
This was—Flowers Hidden in the Leaves!
Danger!
Tiger Girl suddenly sensed the threat, her legs kicking back, retreating a few ters, looking at Xu Ran with a face full of trepidation.
"Was that a killing move?"
Xu Ran nodded: "I didn’t intend to use it."
Tiger Girl: "But I sense that in a real fight, it could be deadly."
Xu Ran smiled warmly: "I was about to push your neck with both hands; a strong force could break the cervical vertebra."
He demonstrated a move.
"This is White Ape Offering Peaches. Look carefully, every technique should coordinate with the Root Bone, don’t make any mistakes, using it poorly makes it ineffective."
Tiger Girl stared unblinkingly at Xu Ran, committing each move to mory.
Xu Ran made the interaction of Qi Blood, Root Bone, Power, muscles, Spirit, and the five elents in the technique crystal clear...
Every move seed like a unique skill.
Tiger Girl widened her eyes.
In her astonishnt, she mimicked Xu Ran’s techniques, Flowers Hidden in the Leaves, White Ape Offering Peaches; after several tries, she seed to grasp the underlying principles, the breeze whipped by her moves loudly resonating.
"Hee hee! I’ve got it!"
Her expression was exhilarated, the series of setbacks just now weren’t enough to dishearten her.
She felt herself progressing rapidly.
This is the benefit of having a senior feed you techniques; the pressure from big brother often left her unable to think, but it was the instinctive moves that beca more deeply ingrained in her subconscious, unlocking more potential.
If she could face a few more rounds, perhaps she could achieve a breakthrough!
"Again, next we’ll use both fists and feet."
Tiger Girl assud the stance of Eight Trigrams Palm, Cyan Dragon’s Claw—limbs closed together, thumb and four fingers apart, right palm turned outward, as if Cyan Dragon grasping the void.
This stance was very graceful.
Since seeing Xu Ran use it once in the courtyard, Tiger Girl has often practiced it.
Xu Ran smiled faintly, lowering his knee like a dragon diving.
Tiger Girl stepped forward, testing with a Crushing Fist, which Xu Ran easily blocked, then swiftly used Mysterious Footwork, the footwork shuffling and twisting like flowing water, flipping like a Flood Dragon, probing attacks around Xu Ran, her fists continuously pounding towards him.
But every punch was avoided by Xu Ran, narrowly missing his waist.
Tiger Girl furrowed her brow, it was so difficult!
The elder brother’s combat skills were a Dinsional Reduction Strike for her, every move was seen through, it was hard to even graze his clothes, how to break through this?
Tiger Girl started to think rapidly.
Xu Ran shouted softly: "I’m going to attack now."
He maintained the crouching dragon stance, lowering his battle posture, on one hand, Tiger Girl was more than ten centiters shorter than him, on the other hand, attacking downward was the essence of battle.
Stomping forward, his speed increasing increntally, bringing the roaring wind sound of a Crushing Fist charge.
Tiger Girl’s pupils trembled slightly.
Such a strong, fast, fierce offensive, one punch could knock even a giant elephant away.
She pursed her lips, dodging and swapping shadows, quickly moving her hands to redirect Xu Ran’s Crushing Fist, Xu Ran brushed past her, stopping his charge in an instant, displaying perfectly controlled power.
Tiger Girl walked with Mysterious Footwork, using an upper palm to sweep across Xu Ran’s eyebrows, suddenly twisting her waist to unleash a palm, the palm moved forward like a dragon pouncing.
Xu Ran focused his gaze, punching against Tiger Girl’s palm.
Tiger Girl was montarily stunned, taking two steps back.
Xu Ran praised: "Good, remarkable progress."
While speaking, Xu Ran used Mysterious Footwork to close the distance, hooking, sticking hands, elbow strikes, dual chops, sweeping palms...
Blocking hands, eyebrow sweeps, elbow strikes, Iron Mountain Lean...
Pulling hands, upward pressing hands, Phoenix’s Three Nods, horse-turning, chopping elbow, Mantis Passing Through the Forest...
Long, sweeping attacks, short quick captures, elbows! Leans! Holds! Grabs! Continuously linked, impenetrable.
Tiger Girl was struggling to breathe, her short hair lively bouncing, her cheeks covered with sweat.
But such high pressure also revealed Tiger Girl’s combat talent.
She thought frantically, defended wildly, ultimately relying on instinct to support herself.
She knew, this opportunity was rare, if it were a life-and-death fight, she would have been done long ago.
