Marvelous Mecha

As a college beauty and a New Human, Emily had met no shortage of influential figures, she wouldn't be easily swayed by others' demeanor.

Yet for some reason, she always feels exposed and in pursuit when encountering this guy. How embarrassing! Had she known, it would have been better to simply wait openly at the door.

Right now, Emily loathed Sheng Qiangwei deeply. She was very unhappy, after all, her image of a lady has crumbled!

"Hmmph, so there's still a little backbone in you." Sheng Qiangwei curled her lips, a glimmer of approval in her eyes. With a sharp gaze, she changed the tone, "To make me wait and force me to skip an afternoon class, you leave quite an impression huh, don't you..."

"That's enough, Weiwei, he's here now after all." Emily, knowing how horrible it was to provoke a sharp-tongued woman, quickly took over the conversation.

"Huh?" Sheng Qiangwei was taken aback, "Milly, could it be that you've fallen for this handsome guy?" While she had to admit that Feng Yi was handsome, Sheng Qiangwei would never approve of him. As a serious girl, she despised those who failed to stick to their promises from the bottom of her heart.

"Enough Weiwei, you've really gone too far!" Emily groaned, holding her flushed face.

"I didn't break any promise, it's not yet afternoon, right?"

Feng Yi glanced at the clock. Indeed, it was still early, but those few minutes had cost Sheng Qiangwei an entire class. Left with nothing to say, she reluctantly excused him, "Alright, this time I'll let you off."

Emily silently gave Feng Yi a look of gratitude.

His response, though, was something she didn't expect: "I think I'd rather not have this fight." Thinking of Francis' request, Feng Yi was reluctant to fight this girl, as everyone has a soft spot for the fairer sex. He was afraid he might accidentally harm her during their spar.

"It's okay, Feng, you can just give it your all." Emily was full of fighting spirit, she had heard stories of a figure from the 103rd colonial planet since childhood and, being a prodigy herself, she was somewhat prideful. Emily is in fact a very competitive person beneath her soft exterior. When she lacked motivation, it's not because she wasn't focused, but rather, she hadn't come across anyone who can match her skills.

So, are we really doing this? Alright then, let's do this. They set the duel location at a corner of the Martial Arts Hall so as not to draw attention. Of course, Feng Yi was not really intending to fight, just playfully sparing with Emily.

However, Emily was taking things seriously. After some bustling preparation and changing into a martial arts outfit, she tied her hair up and pointed a light foot backwards. She instantly cleared the air with a punch, preparing to start with serious ancient martial arts moves.

Impressive, this girl was clearly not like others. Her fighting stance was different from other disciples, it seemed like a heritage from an ancient martial arts family, probably a special technique secretly taught to her by the cunning Ghost Storage.

"Go ahead." Feng Yi cocked his head, meeting her with a side glance, putting on a cool pose with his hands in his pockets, seemingly to feel the flow of the wind.

Emily knitted her brows – it was the first time she had seen someone so cocky in a fight. "Get yourself ready, Feng Yi," she said, leaping forward at a speed as fast as thunder, quickly covering the 20-meter distance to Feng Yi in an instant, as if there was no distance between them at all.

Feng Yi could only feel a gust of wind hitting his face from Emily's punch.

A great surprise attack, or so it would seem. To Feng Yi, however, it was too slow. Any fight trapped by routines would lose its creativity. Countering her surprise move, Feng Yi leaned back as if he would fall at any second. Just before his body would hit the ground, he abruptly exerted force on his waist and quickly pushed off the ground with both of his arms, making a swift abrupt movement! Suddenly a sharp noise rang out!

There it was! Feng Yi's infamous Rank 2 military move - the Thomas Spin Kick. Despite its cool exterior, it was a dangerous move capable of easily breaking human bones. This development, a combination of attack and defense, was rarely mastered by heavyweight fighters, less so perfectly executed as Feng Yi had done. A sweeping kick like a twister, with imposing force coming directly at Emily.

A strong noise echoed… Boom!

The action was over in a flash, so fast that Emily was repelled by just a kick.

Luckily, Emily wasn't so easy to handle. Despite being forced backwards, she managed to absorb the impact by performing several body twists mid-flight. When she finally landed, she surprisingly managed to remain calm as she did so, stunning Feng Yi. Quite unexpectedly, Emily had proved to be skillful, even though Feng Yi had yet to fully exert himself; Emily's quick reflexes and excellent control over her movements was undeniably good.

"Such strength!" Emily exclaimed silently, surprised by the strength Feng Yi had employed. As soon as her feet touched the ground, she swiftly maneuvered towards Feng Yi, displaying her agile skills akin to a soaring swallow. Her delicate hand seemed soft and weak, but in reality the force behind it whistled through the wind.

Feeling the chilling force of Emily's attack, for a split second, Feng Yi's heart fluttered. However, he managed to hold back and counter, flexibly meeting her every move with a parry.

Emily lunged and made a swift blade hand strike. Her attack was fruitless as Feng Yi nimbly caught her wrist, effortlessly blocking her strike.

Could her delicate little hand be so easily grabbed by this slacker? Emily immediately exerted herself, freeing her seemingly boneless arm from Feng Yi's grasp. What had been a swift hand blade attack was turned into a throat lock aimed directly at Feng Yi's neck.

But wait, what had happened? Even though Emily had visually locked onto her opponent's throat, she ended up clutching thin air. Momentarily bewildered, she stared at Feng Yi who hadn't budged an inch. In fact, Feng Yi had managed to dodge and get back into position in a mere blink of an eye - the whole thing was just an optical illusion caused by inertia.

Emily couldn't accept this turnout. She continued to suppress Feng Yi from all angles, launching an assortment of deadly attacks as fast as lightning, one after the other. Yet, to her dismay, all her punches ended up in thin air. MISS, MISS... The rare occasion where her punch landed was only met with a sturdy defense - her attack had become futile.

Just because Emily couldn't break his defense, didn't mean she could withstand the counter-shock. Staggering back several steps, she nearly fell over. Yet, Feng Yi remained perfectly fine. She looked at him with bewilderment in her beautiful eyes. His rough exterior completely belied a robust health underneath, even though she hadn't given it her all, the gap shouldn't have been this huge.

Sheng Qiangwei's mouth was agape, big enough to fit an egg. Are you kidding me? That's him? The janitor Feng Yi? Not only was his agility and physiques far superior than hers, but his overwhelming strength also left her speechless.

Emily bit her radiant lower lip, her face flushing, but she wouldn't give up. After one round of attacks, a new battle started, one full of tense echoes…

The sharp sounds of combat had already reached outside the practice room. Every disciple was rushing into the hall, all of them were stunned by the scene. The once gentle and elegant Emily was now... Has she changed into a different person? Her kicks could easily blow someone's skull apart, the crowd watched in awe as their goddess decisively pressed Feng Yi, her movements swift as lightning. The disciples were unable to keep up with her swift actions; the whole scene was indeed an exhilarating visual feast!
