Chapter 126: Li Er

~8 min read 1,408 words

"No, it's probably just that my ability to absorb things is faster," Li Er said with a slight smile.

Su Chang became even more curious. After a pause, she immediately took a stance and said, "Then treat me as a Training Dummy and give it a try now."

Her eyes were full of anticipation, wanting to personally test just how much Li Er had grasped these combat techniques.

The surrounding freshmen heard this and immediately perked up; one by one, they stopped what they were doing and stared fixedly in this direction.

Everyone wanted to see what kind of performance Li Er would put on when facing Su Chang.

After all, Su Chang had just easily defeated Xiong Tian, and her strength was plain for all to see. While Li Er's comprehension was astonishing, actually trading blows with an instructor was another matter entirely.

When Zhou Chu heard that Su Chang wanted to personally test Li Er's strength, his heart tightened involuntarily. He hurriedly walked to Li Er's side and whispered, "Go easy, and make sure you don't hurt Instructor Su."

Li Er smiled and said, "Don't worry, Brother Chu, I know my limits."

Zhou Chu nodded and stepped aside.

Just kidding.

The current Li Er could kill a Four-turn Soul Professional with a single punch without breaking a sweat.

Zhou Chu knew her strength better than anyone.

If he didn't warn her beforehand, it wouldn't be easy to clean up the mess if she didn't know her own strength and injured Su Chang.

After all, Su Chang was an instructor in the Combat Department; it wouldn't look good for an instructor to be injured by a student.

Furthermore, it was possible that Su Chang might lose her job because of it.

As they were speaking, Li Er moved first.

She tapped her feet lightly, her figure rushing toward Su Chang like a startled rabbit, even stirring up a slight gust of wind.

In the blink of an eye, she reached Su Chang and immediately unleashed a straight punch.

This straight punch looked ordinary, but in reality, it followed all the key points Su Chang had taught earlier.

Gripping the ground with her soles, twisting her waist and hips, the power was transmitted sequentially from her legs and waist, finally striking swiftly toward Su Chang's chest with her fist.

This punch was done in one go, without a hint of clumsiness or hesitation, flowing like clouds and water.

Seeing this punch coming, a flash of surprise crossed Su Chang's eyes.

She hadn't expected that Li Er would not only learn quickly but also apply it with such precision. She tilted her body slightly, dodging the punch with extreme finesse.

An S-Grade Martial Artist was not famous for nothing, after all.

Li Er's strike missed, but she didn't pause at all; using the momentum of her forward charge, she instantly changed her move.

She threw a side kick toward Su Chang's waist. This kick was fast and fierce, and the angle was slightly tricky.

It was clear that her grasp of timing and the connection between her moves were already quite proficient, as if she had undergone long-term practical combat training.

Su Chang once again displayed her extraordinary strength. She first crouched slightly to lower her center of gravity, while simultaneously raising her arm to precisely block Li Er's side kick.

Li Er used the reaction force to perform a beautiful flip in the air, landing lightly on the ground.

The surrounding freshmen couldn't help but widen their eyes at this brilliant exchange, their hearts filled with amazement.

They had originally thought that no matter how strong Li Er's comprehension was, she would surely be defeated quickly when facing an experienced and powerful instructor like Su Chang.

But what they didn't expect was that Li Er could actually trade blows with Su Chang; it was truly unexpected.

Su Chang rubbed her aching arm, her eyes filled with even more astonishment.

She also hadn't expected that Li Er could not only adapt to the situation but also counter move for move using just these few simplest techniques.

Such coherent movements definitely couldn't be achieved just by having agile reactions.

The girl in front of her must have practiced before; otherwise, she couldn't have such a foundation.

Consequently, Su Chang once again performed the palm technique that combined hardness and softness she had used earlier, demonstrating it right in front of Li Er.

Li Er stood quietly in place, the Star Core within her body having already recorded this set of Su Chang's palm techniques at the same time.

The Martial Artist's unique Soul Professional Talent skills: Four Ounces Deflect a Thousand Catties + Crushing Fist.

These two moves were now deeply rooted in Li Er's mind, but she did not perform them perfectly in front of Su Chang; instead, she feigned a learning posture, imitating them like drawing a gourd from a model, pretending to be clumsy.

Finally, Li Er took the initiative to perform a fist-and-palm salute to Su Chang and said, "Thank you for your guidance, Instructor Su. Li Er has benefited greatly."

After saying this, she returned to stand by Zhou Chu's side.

Su Chang remained frozen in place, her whole person stunned once again.

In her heart, she felt more and more that this girl was not simple.

Su Chang was as clear as a mirror that the girl had clearly been pretending to be clumsy when imitating her palm technique just now.

Judging just from the few moves the other party had mimicked, she had likely already memorized seven or eight tenths of the movements.

It was evident that this child not only possessed an ability to remember things at a glance that was superior to ordinary people, but her comprehension had also reached a truly heaven-defying level.

Being able to memorize a Soul Professional Talent was definitely not something an ordinary person could do.

Seeing this scene, Zhou Chu was instantly dumbfounded.

This was simply leaving no room for others.

To record the other party's Soul Professional Talent without missing a single detail just like that.

If she recorded all of the Martial Artist Su Chang's moves and skills, wouldn't she be able to replicate most of a Martial Artist?

If this were to spread, one could only imagine what kind of waves it would cause.

After all, a Soul Professional's Talent skills were each their own secret weapon, not easily revealed to others, let alone recorded so clearly and completely by someone else.

Fortunately, the exclusive talents of each Soul Profession could not be replicated.

However, just being able to replicate the moves one-to-one was already quite monstrous.

After Su Chang came back to her senses, her heart was filled with even more curiosity.

Just as she seemed to want to ask something, the bell for the end of class echoed throughout the Martial Arts Hall.

Seeing this, Su Chang said, "Alright, students, we will end today's class here."

"I hope that after you go back, you can properly digest what you learned today, practice more, and truly turn these techniques into your own skills."

"Tomorrow, I will conduct a small assessment on the content covered today!"

Having said that, she took one last deep look at Li Er, turned around, and left the martial arts hall.

After lunch, Zhou Chu walked toward the school's Experimental Area.

The Experimental Area had a Job Transfer Center, and since he had no classes that afternoon, he could take this opportunity to hurry and complete his Second Transfer.

As for Li Er, she followed him like a shadow.

Very quickly, the two of them arrived at the Job Transfer Center in the Experimental Area.

Generally speaking, there were not many people who came to the Job Transfer Center to change jobs; after all, leveling up was not that easy, and wanting to change jobs was even harder.

Furthermore, quite a few Soul Professionals were stuck on skill proficiency and unable to change jobs.

The basic requirement for a Second Transfer was that three Soul Profession skills needed to reach the maximum proficiency for their current grade.

All of Zhou Chu's current skills were at maximum proficiency, so he had already met the basic requirements for the job transfer.

The benefit of changing jobs at the school was that no extra fees were charged during the transfer.

Thus, Zhou Chu went to a separate job transfer room.
