Chapter 125

Nothing happened that night . It was unexpectedly calm and peaceful . They didn’t even hear the rustle of leaves in the wind . Daytime had already arrived .

When Mu Yi came out to practice his punching technique, he noticed Mo Ruyan standing on a carriage . She was gazing into the distance and holding her spear . She saw him and turned around .

“Fight me,” she said .

Mu Yi heard her but didn’t respond . He acted as if he hadn’t heard her and started practicing his punching technique . Even though Mu Yi hadn’t been outside, he had used his mind strength to continuously check the area . He was exhausted .

He had used lots of mind strength but he didn’t fear her at all . One five thunders charm was probably enough to defeat her . He wasn’t interested in such battles . When Mo Ruyan saw that Mu Yi was ignoring her, she threw her spear at him .

Mu Yi was practicing his punching technique so he wasn’t facing her . His mind strength allowed him to see what was happening around him though . Mo Ruyan’s spear was fast but Mu Yi just had to move back a little while raising his hand . He managed to dodge the spear easily .

When Mo Ruyan saw that, her mouth twitched . The spear didn’t injure Mu Yi and he also managed to slap it . The spear could have destroyed a whole army . Mu Yi wasn’t an exception .

When he saw the spear, he paid attention but didn’t stop practicing his punching technique . The set of kung fu punches contained lots of different variations but he was only practicing one of them . It wasn’t difficult . He could do other things at the same time .

Initially, Mu Yi wanted to dodge and ignore her . He had reacted instinctively instead after she had thrown the spear at him and slapped it . Mo Ruyan was even more excited after witnessing it .

She raised another sharp spear . It streaked across the sky . It didn’t emit any sound as it flew . It was even more terrifying because it was a silent attack .

Uncle Cai came out of his room and saw the two battling . He stopped and watched . He was an old man of the Far Ink Professional Organization . He had seen Mo Ruyan grow up . He knew how strong she was .

They didn’t want to kill each other but Mo Ruyan was using her full strength . Mu Yi was unarmed . What could he do against her?

Uncle Cai realized there was something wrong quickly . The more Mo Ruyan attacked him . The more relaxed he became . It became easier for him to dodge the attacks . He looked confident and completely at ease .

If Uncle Cai hadn’t seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn’t have believed that someone could dodge attacks so easily . Mu Yi wasn’t as strong as he thought . After dodging twice at the beginning, Mu Yi had realized that his punching technique could also be used to fight .

Therefore, he released some mind strength to fight . Uncle Cai had noticed it and so had Mo Ruyan . She also noticed that something had changed about him .

Her plan had worked though . She wanted to make Mu Yi fight her from the beginning . She realized soon that Mu Yi moved erratically at first . He looked more familiar with her attacks as time passed . He was more relaxed .

In the end, she even tried more powerful attacks but Mu Yi easily dodged all of them . Mu Yi sometimes slapped the spear she threw . He could sense the strength the spears contained . Each time he slapped a spear, she could sense something happening in her body . She felt a bit numb inside .

Fortunately, it didn’t last long . The battle was difficult . Mu Yi was slowly becoming relentless .

“Let’s stop . Let’s stop . ” said Mo Ruyan finally .

Mu Yi didn’t want to stop though . She shouted furiously and raised another spear . They weren’t trying to kill each other . They wouldn’t have been so controlled if that wasn’t the case .

When Mu Yi heard her yell, he came back to his senses . He closed his eyes . The time needed to burn a joss stick passed and he opened his eyes again . The armed escorts didn’t get close . They didn’t want to disturb them .

“Thank you for your patience,” Mu Yi said .

The moment he had closed his eyes had given him some insight . He would have needed a lot of time to understand the punching technique . He was lucky .

He had always thought the punching technique was ordinary . He had started using mind strength and had the impression that he could turn the foul and rotten into the rare and ethereal . Now he had also realized he could use it to fight too .

Mo Ruyan sensed a special kind of strength in the area . It was Mu Yi’s strength . He had just started understanding the punching technique so he couldn’t carry out explosive attacks . He could imagine what his attacks would look like in the future .

Mu Yi was an expert in magic figures . He had the copper lamp and he would soon have the Bamboo Tree of Life . The punching technique would be extremely useful to him too .

After all, he couldn’t just stand there in battles . When he ran out of charms and didn’t have enough mind strength to use the copper lamp, he would be able to use the punching technique .

Mu Yi also realized that it wasn’t a simple punching technique . He could use mind strength with it . It was another Dharma door .

Maybe that thanks to it, he would discover some other means of progressing on his path . He would be able to use explosive attacks too . For that reason alone, Mu Yi thanked Mo Ruyan from the bottom of his heart .
