Chapter 1287: Lesson
“What?” Chu Liuyue widened her eyes slightly and almost suspected that she had misheard him.
“You? Want to fight with me?” Chu Liuyue pointed at her nose and asked in disbelief.
Dugu Mobao knitted his brows. “What, are you reluctant?”
“No!” Chu Liuyue immediately denied it. What a joke! It’s rare for an ordinary person to meet such a strong warrior once. It’s even rarer to exchange blows with one and receive some guidance. No matter how stupid I am, I wouldn’t say ‘no.’
“I was just a little shocked…” After all, she had known Dugu Mobao for so long, but other than playing chess, she hadn’t truly fought with him. Even for her warrior training, he just threw out a few puppets and never personally fought her.
Hence, Chu Liuyue was still quite shocked to hear him say this suddenly.
“Although you’re still far from being a legendary warrior, you’re already a stage-eight warrior now, so it’s not so easy for you to break when you fight,” commented Dugu Mobao very calmly.
Chu Liuyue’s lips quivered. What is he saying?! What does he mean by ‘not so easy for me to break?’ I trained and broke through to become a stage-eight warrior with so much difficulty, but this is my only use?!
Dugu Mobao glanced at her.
Chu Liuyue became stern. “Please guide me!”
…
Their fight was still in the room.
Looking at the expensive furniture, Chu Liuyue hesitated. “Big Baby, are we really not going outside to fight? This place is so small. It’s hard to execute our moves, right? It’s not good if we destroy the furniture…”
“There’s no such need,” said Dugu Mobao lightly.
Chu Liuyue was stumped. This was the one sentence that could express the opponent’s contempt and nonchalance the most.
She personally felt that she had quite a sharp tongue, but she always lost without fail in front of Dugu Mobao every single time.
Yet, she couldn’t argue against him at all. He just had to crush her in all areas!
She took a deep breath in, and her gaze became much more serious. Then, she widened her stance, tensed up her muscles, and circulated the force within her dantian rapidly!
Almost in the blink of an eye, she entered combat mode completely!
Faint satisfaction flashed across Dugu Mobao’s face, and it disappeared right after. “It seems like you didn’t waste your time at Fiend Park for this one month.”
Chu Liuyue’s previous combat skills weren’t weak, but she was restricted in some way.
After breaking through to become a stage-eight warrior, she maintained her peak condition and continuously battled all sorts of fiends for a month. She had improved her skills in almost all aspects.
Even though her cultivation level didn’t change, her observation skills, sensitivity, and other aspects had strengthened quite a bit. This was extremely important for strong warriors when they were battling. Hence, when she faced Dugu Mobao, she rapidly circulated all the force in her body!
She bent her knees slightly and stared at Dugu Mobao closely!
Whoosh!
The next moment, her figure disappeared from the spot!
She attacked first, hurling out a punch!
Then, Dugu Mobao raised his hand and placed his palm in front of him!
Rumble!
Chu Liuyue’s fist harshly flew out and quickly met with an invisible and shocking force, producing a low blunt sound.
At that moment, her entire palm seemed to have hit against a very hard steel board!
Her mind turned blank for a short moment. But very quickly, the soreness and excruciating pain came from her palms!
Her palm was almost crushed in the next second as a strong force bounced back!
Chu Liuyue was at the front, and her body instantly flew backward, about to harshly collide with the wall behind!
She clenched her teeth tightly and quickly struck her palm out, using the force to slow herself down so that she wouldn’t collide with the surface. But even so, the instant the forces intersected, she almost couldn’t stand still and fell to the ground.
Using the handle of a chair beside her, Chu Liuyue forcefully stabilized her body.
“It seems like you still need to train.” Dugu Mobao’s voice came from behind.
Chu Liuyue pressed her lips against each other and turned around.
Dugu Mobao’s expression was calm and nonchalant as if he had already expected all of this to happen.
Chu Liuyue felt very conflicted. This was because she didn’t even touch Dugu Mobao’s palm from start to end!
He just raised his hand, and the aura that came with it was enough to crush her!
She naturally knew that she wasn’t his match, but she never thought that she wouldn’t even have the chance to properly exchange blows with him, even though she had tried her best.
After some time, she then asked, “Why… do you want to show me this move?”
The both of them were on completely different levels. Such a fight only had one meaning to her—to let her know even more clearly how weak she was!
“I just want you to see that you’re indeed one of the top few compared to the students in Ling Xiao Academy. But at this very moment, you’re still worlds apart from becoming a true warrior.” Dugu Mobao retracted his hand, and his purple, demonic eyes seemed to sparkle slightly.
Chu Liuyue laughed bitterly. She finally realized that the contempt Dugu Mobao had every time he faced her wasn’t fake but real. If she were him, she would also despise herself.
Then, her expression became stern as she bowed toward Dugu Mobao. “I’ll remember your teachings in my heart.”
She knew very clearly that Dugu Mobao was willing to do this because of her. “One day… I’ll definitely be able to go against you legitimately!”
Dugu Mobao’s lips curved up slightly, and he revealed a very rare smile. “I’m waiting.”
His smile seemed like a flower that suddenly emerged on an ice-filled, snowy mountain.
All along, he had a cold face, and even Chu Liuyue didn’t see him smile much. Hence, she couldn’t help but be stunned when she suddenly saw it.
The next moment, she finally couldn’t help herself as she took a few steps forward and squeezed Dugu Mobao’s face. “Ahhh! Big Baby, you’re so cute!”
Three seconds later, Dugu Mobao walked out with a black face.
Thump!
The door was shut.
Inside the room, Chu Liuyue started to regret it when she saw the gigantic Xuan formation before her. “Big Baby, I was wrong. I won’t do it next time!!”
Dugu Mobao coldly said, “If you don’t solve it, you can’t come out!”
Then, his figure flashed, and he disappeared on the spot. He left Chu Liuyue studying the chessboard with a miserable expression.
Fifteen minutes later.
“Dugu Mobao, this isn’t even a ninth-grade Xuan formation! Come back!”
However, Dugu Mobao had already completely disappeared.
As her objections were to no avail, Chu Liuyue could only continue examining the Xuan formation obediently.
Sigh. Suddenly, I really want to go back to Fiend Park. At the very least, I won’t be so harshly bullied there.
…
Chu Liuyue sat in the room for a few hours.
Nearing evening, her eyes finally lit up. “Here!”
