Chapter 370

At the same time, as a warrior pursuing martial arts, Raiden Ei was also very interested in combat.

Now that someone who might be her equal had finally appeared, Raiden Ei's face carried an unconcealable excitement.

Her hands were itching, and she was eager for a fight.

"I'm sure, but go easy on me, otherwise I won't be able to eat desserts later," Gu Chen laughed.

Hearing this, Raiden Ei nodded solemnly and promised, "Don't worry, I will be mindful of my strength; I definitely won't break you!"

Could days without desserts even be considered living?

For the sake of desserts and a warrior's competitive spirit, Raiden Ei made a difficult decision.

She planned to win by just a small margin, lest she strike too hard and Gu Chen couldn't block it and ended up dead.

Gu Chen and Raiden Ei met out on the ocean.

Gu Chen's arm had been pitch-black before because the power was protecting him, but as he slowly recovered, the color of his arm had returned to normal.

Now, as he channeled his power, Gu Chen's right arm turned pitch-black, with wisps of black mist coiling around his skin.

As he moved, black winds emerged, and the sound of ghosts wailing seemed to fill the air, causing fear.

"Be careful!"

Gu Chen clenched his right fist, a black shadow, and transformed into an afterimage as he headed toward Raiden Ei.

Raiden Ei gripped her sword, ready for battle.

The two figures crossed paths in mid-air, trading blows.

On the distant coastline.

Kitsune Saigu and Raiden Makoto stood there, along with the Oni maiden Mikoshi Chiyo and the Tengu warrior Sasayuri.

"This level of combat power is truly astonishing," Sasayuri remarked.

"This power is very strange and very strong, but it's clear that his combat techniques are quite average," Mikoshi Chiyo commented.

"Well, Ei will have something to do then~" Kitsune Saigu chuckled.

Raiden Makoto's eyes shimmered, and she said with a smile, "Then let Ei teach him martial arts when she has time, so he can better control his power."

"There's no need to trouble Lady Ei; I can do it," Mikoshi Chiyo said.

"No, you don't understand," Kitsune Saigu shook her head.

"Hmm?"

Mikoshi Chiyo was puzzled.

"How did you figure out that Her Highness and you want to play matchmaker?" Sasayuri asked with a strange expression.

"That's right," Kitsune Saigu admitted quite generously.

Mikoshi Chiyo suddenly realized: "In that case, Lady Ei is indeed the most suitable, as it can foster their relationship."

"Since when did you, the Matriarch of the Hakushin, start doing the work of a matchmaker?" Sasayuri teased.

"Don't you think it's interesting?" Kitsune Saigu countered.

Sasayuri paused.

Indeed, looking at Kitsune Saigu's personality, she would do anything as long as it was interesting.

"But Ei..." Sasayuri said with a strange expression, "With that brain of hers filled only with martial arts, can she realize these things? In other words, can you succeed?"

Kitsune Saigu's smile stiffened: "Who knows?"

The topic ended there.

Because Gu Chen and Raiden Ei had already finished their sparring.

Gu Chen's strength surprised Raiden Ei.

He was very strong, but still fell short of Raiden Ei.

Raiden Ei guessed that if Gu Chen used his full power, he should be able to reach her level.

However, Gu Chen's martial arts were far inferior to hers.

Therefore, Raiden Ei won quite easily.

"I won!"

As a warrior, the glory of victory made Raiden Ei very happy.

"Mhm, teach him martial arts when you have time in the future."

Seeing Raiden Ei so happy, Raiden Makoto took the opportunity to say.

Raiden Ei was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "Okay!"

"Then thank you very much." Gu Chen also felt his own lack of martial arts and said happily, "They say a great teacher produces a great student. Let's spar again once my martial arts improve! Don't hold anything back, okay?"

"Don't worry, I won't hold anything back!" A proud look appeared on Raiden Ei's pretty face.

The pride of a warrior did not allow Raiden Ei to hold anything back.

She dared to teach Gu Chen all her insights before defeating him again.

This was Raiden Ei, a woman whose mind was filled with martial power.

【Kaeya】: I have a question. Following this trend, what happens if Miss Ei commits domestic violence? (Funny)

【Collei】: What happens? Of course, Mr. Gu Chen will go to Miss Makoto to complain, looking all aggrieved! (Hu Tao: Evil grin)

【Nilou】: How could Miss Ei commit domestic violence against Mr. Gu Chen? Your line of thinking is so abstract! (Paimon: Shocked)

【Raiden Ei】: I won't hit my brother-in-law. (Nod)

【Yae Miko】: I didn't see that coming; this issue is actually the work of Kitsune Saigu.

【Raiden Makoto】: It looks like she was afraid Ei would be bored practicing martial arts all day, so she found her a companion. (Raiden Ei: Chuckle)

【Nilou】: Watch carefully! Miss Ei is going to teach Mr. Gu Chen martial arts, and it's hands-on! (Venti: Expectant starry eyes)

【Collei】: Go for it!!

Gu Chen's talent in martial arts might truly not be high.

After Raiden Ei demonstrated it several times, Gu Chen remembered it, but still didn't have that "feeling."

For a simple sword swing, Gu Chen was quite satisfied with himself.

But in Raiden Ei's eyes, Gu Chen couldn't even hold the sword steady while practicing.

"Your force-exertion method is wrong!"

Raiden Ei corrected him.

Gu Chen tried again but still couldn't find the feeling.

The impatient Raiden Ei immediately stepped forward and stood behind Gu Chen, the two almost pressed against each other, and she reached out to hold his wrist: "Hold it like this, keep your lower body steady, otherwise your sword will be knocked away when facing an enemy, and you won't be able to stand steady either."

"Mhm."

Gu Chen nodded.

"Feel it carefully."

Raiden Ei lifted Gu Chen's wrist, slashed the katana forward, and then instantly twisted her body to slash to the side.

"The attack speed in a duel between experts is very fast; you must be prepared at all times."

Her figure turned again, and she slashed forward once more.

As she moved, Raiden Ei pressed even closer.

Every breath was filled with the scent coming from behind her, and his back could feel a softness that made Gu Chen's mind unsteady.

Gu Chen paused and said, "How about you just describe it verbally?"

"Hmm?"

Raiden Ei was stunned, frowned, and said, "Still can't learn it?"

A martial arts dunce?

It seems she'll have to set aside more time to teach him in the future.

"That's not it..."

Gu Chen grinned helplessly and said, "My heart isn't in the practice."

Which cadre could withstand such a test?

In any case, Gu Chen couldn't pass this hurdle.

"What do you mean?"

Raiden Ei was puzzled.

"Of course it's because you're standing too close~" Kitsune Saigu popped out from nowhere, her eyes full of cunning, and a teasing smile on her face as she said, "With you like this, is he trying to practice martial arts or is he thinking about you?"

"Ah?"

Raiden Ei's purple pupils widened slightly.
