"hiss……"

In a space filled with black fog.

Chen Lusi kept fighting with Xia Panqiu.

Each time the two of them fought each other didn't last long.

Usually less than a minute.

Chen Lusi would cover the injured area and lose.

His previous judgment was correct. If it really came to actual combat without the use of magic, he was indeed no match for Xia Panqiu.

but……

"Come again."

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

Just because he was no match for Xia Panqiu, Chen Lusi became even more determined... that he could not be a pure mage.

Xia Panqiu hasn't taken it seriously yet.

If he were to encounter an enemy who didn't use external spells and only focused on strengthening himself, he would probably be beaten.

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

Xia Panqiu looked at Chen Lusi who was back on his feet, pursed his lips, and took action again.

Although Chen Lusi is still at a disadvantage.

But he has made some progress... and it's great.

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

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

Much faster.

For example, the protection spell 'Armor' is due to the limited spirit in the body and the need for a protracted battle.

Most empowered people don't have the luxury of covering their whole bodies with spirits when fighting.

Because apart from making yourself look like a turtle, this has no practicality at all.

Under normal circumstances, just use 'armor' to protect the part that is about to be attacked.

Because this is the most economical.

But even someone as good as Xia Panqiu, who is good at close combat, feels a certain lag when switching armors.

Although it didn't last long... and her body was light and her body skills were excellent, even if there was a gap, she could still dodge the attack with her body skills.

But the lag is clearly noticeable.

And when Chen Lusi switched techniques... there was almost no lag.

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

In a blink of an eye.

He used his 'armor' to protect his chest again.

The same applies to other techniques.

This advantage of quick conversion of spells allowed him to exert enough pressure on Xia Panqiu even if his fists and feet were not as good as Xia Panqiu's.

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

You can only rely on speed and experience to forcefully break through Chen Lusi's defense.

Fight until now.

She couldn't even hold back her strength.

boom--

"It's the nose again..."

Chen Lusi covered her nose again and took a few steps back.

Xia Panqiu stopped, looked at the nosebleeds seeping from Chen Lusi's fingers, bit her glossy red lips hard, and lowered her head.

The mood becomes more and more complicated.

In fact, after leaving the hospital.

Her mood was very complicated...but now she was even more anxious.

The misunderstanding was not explained clearly, and instead the savior was beaten violently.

What the hell is this...

"Come again."

Chen Lusi rubbed his nose, wiped away the remaining blood, and took a step forward again, standing in front of Xia Panqiu.

Xia Panqiu came back to her senses, raised her head slightly, and looked at Chen Lusi's face.

"What's wrong?" Chen Lusi was a little confused when he saw that she didn't move.

"……nothing."

Xia Panqiu shook her head slightly and attacked him again.

When faced with her offensive, Chen Lusi took the following measures: If he could dodge and parry, he would try to dodge and parry; if he really couldn't, he would use his armor to block.

Then on this basis, learn her offensive and defensive ideas and take the opportunity to fight back.

Of course...it's just that the counterattack has never been successful.

After all, Xia Panqiu's movements were much faster than his.

A room of electric light and flint.

The two fought together again.

Chen Lusi held Xia Panqiu's white wrist with one hand, and at the same time turned his head to avoid her other fist.

A room of electric light and flint.

Chen Lusi observed her movements and determined that this was a good opportunity to counterattack. He immediately raised his left arm and punched Xia Panqiu's nose.

As soon as he waved his fist, Chen Lusi had already begun to consider his next move.

Because it is speculated based on the previous situation.

Xia Panqiu could easily dodge this type of punch by turning her head.

The real opportunity is not this attack, but the subsequent transition between offense and defense.

However, he saw the fist approaching.

Xia Panqiu glanced at Chen Lusi and instead of hiding, she closed her eyes directly...

Chen Lusi didn't have the habit of holding back his strength. After all, he had never hit Xia Panqiu before.

So when Chen Lusi realized Xia Panqiu's abnormality, he only had time to make a surprised sound.

"ah……"

boom--

The next second.

Xia Panqiu received a direct punch.

"Well……"

Xia Panqiu whimpered, covered her nose with her hands, and slowly squatted down.

"..."

Chen Lusi put away his fists, looked at Xia Panqiu squatting on the ground, and fell silent.

He hesitated for a moment, and finally came to her, squatted down, and asked, "Are you okay?"

"..."

Xia Panqiu covered her nose, looked down at her canvas shoes, and said nothing.

Chen Lusi was about to say something else.

Xia Panqiu sniffed, slowly raised her head, with tears in the corners of her peach blossom eyes, and suddenly said softly: "I'm sorry."

She wanted to go over and explain.

She also knew that after explanation, the misunderstanding would be resolved.

But the first person to use first impressions to judge the character of others... is herself.

She couldn't speak at all.

After thinking about it, she realized that this was the only thing she could do.
To be continued...
