Volume 10 Chapter 16: One-sided slaughter

The next morning, Keith stretched his hands back and forth. This was such a nice rest. Looking down, he saw the spirit sleeping on a pillow. The pillow the house had given him was comfortable but not so much to the spirit. A large pillow was brought out to allow her to sleep comfortably. She was not alone either; Ruby was sleeping with her. 

“Good morning, Aria.” Keith patted the owl as he headed off. If I remember correctly, Lihua said the training ground around here. He walked for a bit before he found it. 

Is someone already training? Sounds of something flying through the air could be heard. As he entered the room, he saw who it was. It was none other than Zhu Liqin.

“Hello, Ms.Zhu,” Keith quickly greeted the woman. But Zhu Liqin didn’t respond as she continued to swing her fist in the air. It was swift and quite sturdy. It was as if her hands were piercing through the air. Keith nodded as he was going to leave.

“If you’re going to train, train.” Those were the words that came out of her mouth. Hearing this, Keith nodded as he took a corner of the room. Stretching was always the first thing to do. But after some time, he took out a staff. On the ship, Keith had been swinging it around. He still needed time to get used to it. 

He had also bought a staff that weighed the same as the bone halberd. As he did so, he didn't realize Zhu Liqin staring at him. 

“Hello?”

“…”

“Umm, do you need anything?” Keith blinked. Her eyes were staring intently at the staff.

“Here, you can try, Miss.” Zhu Liqin took it and started to move it around. Swift! That was the only way to describe it; her movements were agile yet quite fierce. Each stroke was like a brilliant work of art. 

What skills. That was a master. But then she placed the staff down, “Spar?”

“Eh? It would be an honor!” Keith quickly raised his fist. Zhu Liqin did the same; that was when the battle between the two started. 

And the battle was quite…one-sided. 

Keith was being destroyed. And it was not the same as Michael. Power was his thing; the knight’s sheer force sent him flying left and right. However, it was only power. 

Zhu Liqin had everything: speed, technique, and power. She was quite literally overpowering Keith in all territories. Half-step. Whenever he threw out a punch, her fist would be in his face! What was more, it was sharper. Each one was aimed at the vitals, knocking him down.

“...Are you done?” Zhu Liqin questioned. But that only caused Keith to get back up, “I’m not done!” There was no way he could be done. Not until he landed a hit on her! Throughout the fight, he didn’t land a hit at all! 

“…” Zhu Liqin didn’t say much, but raising her fist was enough to get the message across. That was when she started slamming her fist into his body. 

Keith took a deep breath. What can I do to land a hit? That was something he needed to figure out. Speed was the game in this situation, but Zhu Liqin definitely had him.

The only way is to catch her off guard? That was next to impossible. It didn’t seem like she was the type to give him any openings.

Guess I have to take the chance then. There was only one option going through his mind right now. That was something he was definitely going to have to do. 

Zhu Liqin went on the rush again as her hands were a blur. All hits landed on Keith, but that was when the boy took the chance to attack! No guard. Full-on attack! That was the only gamble that he had to land!

“…” Zhu Liqin swatted his hands down. Those attacks were too simple and easy to read. But that was when he tackled her waist and pushed her down! That was definitely a move no one had ever seen before. It was a dirty move. It was more than enough as she went down with him.

“How’s that?!” A grin soon formed on his face.

But Zhu Liqin knocked him back and got up.

“…You did good,” That was the only thing she said as she left the training room. As she did, Keith took a deep sigh. That is good! He actually landed a hit on the person. All the strength from his body was out as he lay on the floor. As he did, that was when two shadows loomed before him.

“Can you guys not cover? I need the sunlight.”

“How are you still alive?” Krystal muttered in disbelief while Long Lihua could only stare.

“You survived against my mother.” Long Lihua couldn’t believe it.

“You watched the entire thing?”

“Of course,” Krystal and Long Lihua had gone to the training ground to get something done. However, they heard the sound of someone getting beat up. It was quite the sight.

“Your mother is a monster,” Keith laughed. Understatement.

“Well, she was considered to be the strongest under the founders.”

“Huh? But she wasn’t there during the meeting.”

“Oh, she’s a level above that.”

“…”

“Either way, to land a hit on my mother, you’re a beast.”

“But she ragged-doll me left and right.” Keith literally had to do something dirty to win. She could easily squash him like a bug if she wanted.

“Since you guys want to train, go ahead,” Keith quickly rolled to the side and tried not to get in their way.

“…”

“Can you not walk?”

“Oh, no. I can. But I thought this was funnier,” Keith smiled.

“…” Krystal and Long Lihua scoffed as they watched him move like a worm. But that was only a few seconds before it was done.
