I Can See Your Combat Power
Chapter 1195 - Chapter 1195 Chapter 488 Showing Off

Chapter 1195: Chapter 488: Showing Off Chapter 1195: Chapter 488: Showing Off The description “his muscles were like iron, and his stance was rooted to the ground” fittingly described Tang Luo’s condition at the moment. Yun Xiu’s Jade Maiden Shuttle was well within Tang Luo’s expectation, and the reason he had decided to use her move against her was that he had figured out a counter.

In fact, the grappling technique still fell within the scope of a martial artist’s physique. Yun Xiu’s Jade Maiden Shuttle was extremely exquisite, but it regrettably lacked a bit of strength.

The previous four-limb block was just a feint, even the entanglement was a retreat, all for letting Yun Xiu gather strength in her shoulder for an inching explosive attack.

Right now, by firmly blocking Yun Xiu’s right shoulder inching move, he rendered her Golden Snake Binding Feet useless. With her only having one foot stable and her strength waning, Tang Luo directly brought her down.

As snowflakes danced in the air, Tang Luo held down Yun Xiu’s limbs and triumphantly whispered in her ear, “Instructor Yun, my ability to learn and apply on the fly isn’t too bad, is it?”

“Let me go.”

They had clearly agreed beforehand not to get handsy, but now she found herself pinned to the ground again.

Yun Xiu’s face blushed crimson as she spoke in a delicate voice.

“Ah, we are already lying down, why not practice escaping the hold?”

Having finally pinned down the fragrant young lady, Tang Luo was reluctant to let go, thus shamelessly making such a suggestion.

Then there was an explosion of spirit energy, and the delicate young master spun and flew several yards into the air before crashing heavily onto the snowy ground, kicking up a flurry of snowflakes.

Scrambling to his feet, Tang Luo turned to Yun Xiu, who was already standing not far away, and complained, “That’s not fair, we agreed to practice grappling! Why did you resort to Spirit Art?”

“Pah, rascal!”

While the blush still lingered on Yun Xiu’s face, she spat at Tang Luo and said, “If you do that again, we’ll stop practicing!”

“Ah, alright, alright.” Tang Luo shrugged helplessly and said, “But you should be more focused. Even though it’s just practice, your moves are way too obvious. I can tell right away when you’re about to use Jade Maiden Shuttle. Put some killer instinct and determination into it!”

Having been taken advantage of and talked back to, Yun Xiu was furious. Raising her eyebrows and gritting her teeth, she said, “Again!”

You want killer intent, determination, you think my moves are too obvious? I’m going to beat you to a pulp!

What was supposed to be grappling practice turned into a one-sided beating, as Tang Luo perfectly experienced the joy of real combat.

“Agh, we agreed on grappling, and you smash Spirit Art in my face! What if my looks are ruined!?”

“A Mortal Realm martial artist wouldn’t foolishly wait for you to charge; this is a reminder not to underestimate others.”

“Fine, I like realistic practice.”

They practiced a bit more…

“This is too much. You’re using Spirit Art to escape after being locked down?”

“These are all standard techniques. You must learn to face different severe situations. Let’s go again!”

As much as he was reluctant to admit it, Yun Xiu’s understanding of martial arts was indeed far greater than Tang Luo’s, so much that even with basic grappling and close combat she gave the young lady no quarter.

So, the practice took another turn…

“I mean… can you stick to the agenda? What’s with this flying around?”

“The art of aerial control is a secret technique that many in the Mortal Realm must learn. I’m just reminding you, even if you learn grappling, it doesn’t necessarily mean you’ll get the chance for close combat!”

Standing atop a cloud, Yun Xiu said proudly to Tang Luo in the courtyard below, “As I am now, I stand in an invincible position against you, you’ve lost!”

“Is that so? I don’t think so.”

Tang Luo smiled and picked up a handful of snowflakes from the ground, formed them into a snowball, and bounced it in his hand, calling out to the person above, “You better stand firm.”

“Hmph, who are you trying to scare with a snowball!”

“Swoosh~”

The sound of something tearing through the air shrieked, and a white snowball with several kinds of force wrapped around it appeared in front of Yun Xiu in an instant.

In a panic, Yun Xiu conjured a Cloud Hand to defend herself but didn’t expect the powerful forces within the snowball to scatter it. Fortunately, as the Cloud Hand shattered, it also broke apart the snowball; otherwise, if the snowball had hit her, what would have been the difference from a Spirit Art attack?

Is this an attempt at murder!

Just as an angry Yun Xiu was about to look down and question, she saw that Tang Luo had already prepared another sharp-pointed snowball at his feet.

“Swoosh swoosh~”

“Swoosh swoosh swoosh~”

“Swoosh swoosh swoosh swoosh~”

Silver bullets rained down, penetrating the heavens; Yun Xiu had never imagined that such small snowballs could possess such terrifying power. The exquisitely controlled force wrapped around each snowball, granting each little silver sphere a destructive power not inferior to ordinary Yellow Rank Spirit Arts.

And Yun Xiu in the sky became the most conspicuous target; she not only had to defend against the snowballs shooting toward her from every direction but also had to guard against the ones targeting her mount of auspicious clouds beneath her.

Even though she was capable of controlling dozens of Cloud Hands at once, she was still somewhat flustered because those snowballs were simply too fast and fierce, and they seemed endless!

The Cloud Hands kept shattering and regenerating. In this extreme training, Yun Xiu also surpassed her own limits, as the speed at which the Cloud Hands regenerated increased, and the number of them she could control grew.

However, Yun Xiu, at the center of the snowball bombardment, had no special technique; she only wanted to be faster, much faster, to block all the snowballs.

Finally, the relentless snowball offensive began to slow, but before Miss Yun could catch her breath, the hairs on her back stood on end.

“Caught you.”

Tang Luo, unbeknownst to her, had leaped to her back, shattered the auspicious clouds with a foot, and wrapped his arms around her, locking Yun Xiu in his grasp. Yun Xiu, in her breath recovery phase, was completely unable to break free and had to unwillingly submit as she fell from the sky.

With her arms bound, Yun Xiu faced downward, watching the ground approaching closer and closer, dreading the imminent harsh collision, and couldn’t help but close her eyes.

No sooner had she closed her eyes than she felt the world spinning, and when she opened her eyes, it was Tang Luo who had locked her in his arms, performing a large spin in midair and throwing her into the sky. Then he grinned, opened his arms, landed on his back, and kicked up a blizzard of snowflakes.

“Are you okay?”

The safely landed Yun Xiu helped Tang Luo up from the courtyard, asking with concern.

The two had just fallen from the height of several dozen meters; such a fall would upset the blood and breath of even those at the pinnacle of shedding the mortal coil, and Tang Luo’s current breathing was weaker than that of someone from the Mortal Realm, naturally causing concern.

After all, the mastery of force was one thing, but the physical durability was another matter entirely.

As expected, Tang Luo, aided to his feet, had a pale face, and nearly all his weight leaned on Yun Xiu: “It’s good that you are okay; I just feel a bit… drained.”

“That’s what you get for showing off!”

As she supported Tang Luo walking into the house, Yun Xiu rebuked him with concern, “You’ve recovered a bit and then immediately overexerted yourself; now you’ve hurt yourself again, haven’t you?”

While speaking, Yun Xiu rubbed Tang Luo’s back, asking softly, “Does this hurt? Have you pulled anything here? Falling from that high up, surely many places must be injured.”

“Ow, now that you mention it, my whole back is sore.”

With a ghastly pale face, Tang Luo timely let out a piteous cry, almost entirely leaning into Yun Xiu’s embrace, tilting his head back, and asking, “What should I do?”

“It’s nothing.”

Yun Xiu looked down and comforted softly, “In a moment, I will use snow to apply a cold compress to your back; it will be better in a few days.”
