Light Fortress Chapter 1369 - 164: Gu Xiaoman’s First Battle (Part 3)

Can’t beat, can’t escape.

The final outco... there is only one.

"Congratulations."

Bai Xiu gracefully alighted, landing in front of the giant bear. He looked at Gu Xiaoman, his eyes full of a gentle smile: "How does it feel after your first fight?"

"Master Bai Xiu!"

Gu Xiaoman called out, then secretly clenched her fist and said sincerely, "It feels good, the process was a bit thrilling, there were many areas I didn’t do well... I’d like to go another round."

Shen Li muttered, "Little one, you like fighting so much, won’t you beco a martial arts fanatic in the future?"

"Who are you to talk about others?" Gu Shen laughed and scolded.

"Being able to fight is a blessing..." Shen Li whispered, then puzzled, "But in this fight, why didn’t I see Xiaoman use the combat techniques I taught?"

Gu Xiaoman, dealing with the black bear, used the [Snake Step] taught by Chen i and the [Thunder Movent Technique] from Bai Xiu, but none of what Shen Li taught was used by the little one.

"Sorry, Brother Shen Li..."

Gu Xiaoman heard Shen Li speak, scratched her head, and said earnestly, "This guy is too big, your style is too fierce... I always felt that trading punches with it directly is a very foolish act. If there’s a chance in the future, I will use it."

Among the three masters, Shen Li was the youngest and weakest.

Under Gu Shen’s suggestion.

Gu Xiaoman called Shen Li "Brother Shen Li," it felt close this way.

The battle style of the [Iron Eater] is very straightforward, with basically no subterfuge, just grabbing a weapon and going for it, so the combat thods taught by Shen Li... weren’t suitable for Gu Xiaoman at this mont.

But that doesn’t an it’s useless, as she grows, these diverse body techniques will gradually integrate throughout her prolonged battle experiences.

Eventually, she will realize her own "Dao"!

"Xiaoman... was this battle very tiring?" Gu Shen squatted down a bit and asked gently.

"A bit..."

Gu Xiaoman nodded, then quickly shook her head, seriously said, "But I can improve, I know I have many shortcomings, I can continue, I can go again."

This silly child thinks too much.

Is she worried her battle performance wasn’t good, not satisfied with herself?

Gu Shen looked gently, and said, "Actually, this fight you did was very beautiful, battles between Transcendents can be very brief, occurring and concluding in an instant; or it can be very long, lasting for hours, even days and nights, or even longer. I won’t demand that you have to be swift and clean, but I hope you can seize victory as much as possible."

Gu Shen smiled and said, "This is your first battle as a Transcendent... after this, you’ll gradually get stronger, and you’ll encounter opponents much stronger than it, [Dissolving Dream] is an S-level ability, you should be able to crush many opponents."

"But rember—there is never just one path to ’victory’."

"If you can’t kill directly, you might as well try other indirect paths like this ti."

Gu Xiaoman, with a face full of sweat, listened in a daze.

She looked at the young man squatting in front of her, silently rembering all the words Gu Shen said.

"If you don’t have confidence in a battle... then try doing sothing within your ability, make it gradually beco sothing you can handle."

"Even if this process is very long, as long as you can see the ’end point’, then all your efforts are worth it!"
