143: Shui Yuqianxi's Exercise

She drew a blank card and absorbed the monster crystal.

As the monster crystal was completely absorbed by the card, Shui Yuqianxi took back the card, and the front of the card had been replaced by the monster's image.

[Killed an F-class monster, Light Energy +50]

"Shark card, feels great!"

Shui Yuqianxi loved the feeling of cutting people with a chainsaw; once she tried it, she couldn't stop.

Shui Yuqianxi held the chainsword and swung it a few times in the air, her eyes under the armor shining brightly.

Then, putting away the Shark Chainsaw Sword, Shui Yuqianxi took out the Moto E.

Although she felt sorry, that taxi was beyond saving.

Her part-time job, which she had found with great difficulty, might be gone again.

"Wait a moment, Armored Warrior!"

"May I interview you?"

Before Shui Yuqianxi could retreat, a person holding a camera bravely ran over with their phone.

There had already been two generations of Armored Warriors who set a brilliant example, protecting ordinary citizens with their lives.

At this moment, even when encountering a new Armored Warrior, ordinary people would not feel unknown fear.

Instead, they felt a sense of closeness, and their courage grew a little.

The man who stepped forward at this time was a reporter who had just joined South Bay Daily a year ago.

Without any background, he basically didn't encounter any good news in that year.

All the good news interviews were allocated to those with connections who had joined the company.

He never expected to encounter this opportunity while getting gas, and couldn't help but want to step forward and interview a few words.

An interview with an Armored Warrior, this was unprecedented.

And it was also a newly appeared Sea Spirit Warrior!

He had to seize this opportunity no matter what!

"Interview?"

Shui Yuqianxi looked at the man in front of her.

"I'm sorry, Armored Warrior Code, Chapter 3, Article 2 clearly states that an Armored Warrior may not accept any interviews involving armor without permission."

"...So, goodbye."

Click!

The Sea Spirit Moto E was summoned.

The blue Motorcycle, compared to the Light Motorcycle and Fire Finch Motorcycle, was more streamlined.

It looked like a metal streamlined fish body, possessing a soft aesthetic.

Shui Yuqianxi flipped onto the Motorcycle, waved to the reporter, and then transformed into a blue light, disappearing from the spot.

Only the reporter remained, writing in his shorthand notebook.

Transformation Release.

Shui Yuqianxi, riding the now ordinary Motorcycle, teleported out from a nearby street.

Evening.

Shui Yuqianxi, dressed in thin clothes, stood under the bridge, clenching her fists, raising one foot, and adopting a combat stance.

In front of her was a fluctuating stream of water created by the Mermaid F.

This area was originally a godforsaken suburb of East Bay City.

Basically, no one would come here.

She clenched her fists and swung them forward at high speed!

But the water flow in front was even faster, easily dodging Shui Yuqianxi's fists.

Then, the water flow split open!

A stream of water struck Shui Yuqianxi's waist heavily at an incredible angle.

Shui Yuqianxi quickly adopted a parrying stance, using her body to resist the attack!

The heavy attack struck Shui Yuqianxi's forearm and side abdomen.

In an instant, her fair skin turned completely red.

Shui Yuqianxi's gaze did not waver in the slightest; while the water flow attacked, she continuously swung her fists, striking the water flow in front of her.

However, the amorphous water flow meant that Shui Yuqianxi's attacks were difficult to be effective.

Every punch she threw was met with a continuous counter-attack from the water flow on Shui Yuqianxi's body.

[Basic Parry proficiency +1]

That's right, Shui Yuqianxi was training her Basic Parry.

She had mastered the power of the Mermaid F for long enough; the power of this card had been thoroughly studied by her.

Basic Parry proficiency could be quickly improved by taking hits.

Especially by taking hits in combat.

Through this combat method, Shui Yuqianxi could quickly increase her Basic Parry proficiency.

She closed the distance with a quick step, and her fists swung out again.

The water flow also condensed into a whip of water, lashing at Shui Yuqianxi's shoulder and back.

In an instant, a long red mark was whipped onto the skin of her shoulder and back.

[Basic Parry proficiency +1]

This water flow, controlled by Shui Yuqianxi, could perfectly convert Shui Yuqianxi's attacks into counter-attacks, feeding them back to her.

Therefore, Shui Yuqianxi could be said to be beating herself up at this moment.

The stronger the beating, the stronger the attacks she received.

Shui Yuqianxi's movements did not stop; her speed grew faster and faster, and her fists became more powerful.

Her body, moving at extreme speed, became afterimages.

The water flow's speed also continuously accelerated, intertwining with the afterimages of Shui Yuqianxi's punches.

This process of proficiency improvement was exceptionally effective.

However, as a price, the pain was also unbearable for ordinary people.

Shui Yuqianxi stopped punching.

At this moment, she was drenched in sweat, her hair plastered to her forehead, and her body was covered in wounds.

Feeling the pain in her body, Shui Yuqianxi smiled.

"This level of injury and pain is nothing."

"Jellyfish M!"

Shui Yuqianxi summoned her Sea Spirit Record, took out the Jellyfish M, and threw it into the water flow in front of her.

The light blue Jellyfish M easily pierced into the water flow, merging with it.

The amorphous water flow formed by the Mermaid F also began to change.

Its appearance became more akin to a Jellyfish.

This way, she could beat herself up while simultaneously recovering from her injuries.

No need to worry about being unable to move from the beating.

How could Atlantis's once-in-a-century Mermaid genius be a mere pretender?

This way, she could completely let loose.

Shui Yuqianxi clenched her fists, brought them close to her body, adopted a punching stance, and slightly raised one foot.

Basic Breathing Technique, activate!

As the first layer of the Basic Breathing Technique circulated, Shui Yuqianxi's chest slightly puffed out.

Her body temperature also rose, and her heartbeat accelerated.

All the moisture on her body began to evaporate, forming visible wisps of steam around her.

The Jellyfish-shaped water flow also remained motionless, ready to counter-attack at any moment.

Swish!

The speed and power of her punch were unprecedented!

Shui Yuqianxi's body instantly closed the distance, and her fist slammed out heavily.

Smoke enveloped her charging body, like an activated steam engine.

Boom!

The heavy punch landed on the Jellyfish's head, emitting a dull thud.

The force quickly transmitted down the Jellyfish's tentacles beneath its body.

A thick tentacle whipped out like lightning, striking Shui Yuqianxi heavily like a fist!

Parrying stance!

Shui Yuqianxi quickly adopted a parrying stance!

The Jellyfish tentacle struck Shui Yuqianxi's blocking forearm heavily!

In an instant, her bones made a cracking sound, nearly breaking.

Pain engulfed her forearm, then healed in an instant.

The injury disappeared, leaving only pain spreading from her arm to her body.

"Mmm!"

Shui Yuqianxi suppressed a cry of pain, continuing to maintain the Basic Breathing Technique, and launched her fists!

"Splish, splash, splish, splash, splish, splash!!"

Her fists, empowered by the Basic Breathing Technique, created countless afterimages.

The Jellyfish's tentacles returned all the attacks to Shui Yuqianxi's body.

The skin and flesh she used to block were torn open, but before blood could flow, it was healed by the Jellyfish's power.

Only immense pain remained, tormenting every nerve in her body.

Her ribs developed cracks, then rapidly healed.

[Basic Stance proficiency +1]

[Basic Breathing Technique proficiency +2]

The unbearable pain, however, brought a continuous increase in proficiency.
