Chapter 79

Not to mention how to maintain the existence of the shadow Nen beast in such a critical state…

Now, Moyou’s control over his ability and the previously criticized speed of his mimicry manifestation have both improved significantly compared to before.

This is why he has the spare capacity to split the shadow for multi-line control.

It seems that the results of a month of special training are not just about extending the duration of “Practice” and learning “Fortitude.”

However, the method of creating an attack opportunity by turning off the lights in the martial arts hall was something that Bisji did not expect.

It was truly cunning!

But she liked it.

However, the sudden act of pulling the switch was not enough to make her expose a weakness.

In theory, both parties in combat need time for their eyes to adapt to the darkness when suddenly plunged into it.

But Moyou could maintain the shadow Nen beast even in such a critical state.

This means that even in the darkness, Moyou could see her aura through the shadow’s shared vision.

She was not aware of Moyou’s ability to continue using his powers in such a critical state.

This led her to quickly use “Condensation” in response, but she failed to track Moyou’s movements, instead wasting part of the Nen she should have used for defense on her eyes.

As a result, when she struck and dispersed the shadow Nen beast that reformed behind her, and attacked based on the sound, the distribution of Nen on her body became subtly unbalanced.

Therefore, when she noticed something was wrong after slapping away the curtain, she couldn’t defend against Moyou’s final, multi-layered attack in time.

The footsteps were actually created by the shadow.

Little Moyou…

He really made excellent use of the “sudden darkness” to maximize the characteristics of his Nen.

“Probably a rib fracture…”

The pain from her ribs allowed Bisji to make a basic assessment of her injuries.

In her lolicon form, her physical strength was far inferior to her original form.

Although she herself did not know how she transformed from a muscular woman into a cute little girl, it was clear that after the transformation, she lost the hardened physical strength she once had.

Perhaps this was a natural constraint generated by the feedback of “Nen” to her own thoughts.

Adjusting her posture in mid-air, Bisji landed steadily on the ground.

Her instantaneous burst of thinking allowed her to process all the information before landing.

But the confrontation was not over yet.

In the darkness, Moyou’s attack had not ended.

Bisji looked forward.

In the pitch-black field of vision, a prominent Nen human silhouette was charging towards her.

If the opponent were someone else, she could have used this Nen silhouette to track their position and movements at any time.

But with Moyou, it was different.

Was it the Nen released by the shadow Nen beast, or the Nen released by Moyou himself?

As the enemy, Bisji had to consider this question.

Since she couldn’t distinguish it immediately, she waited for her eyes to adapt to the darkness.

Bisji took this approach, stepped back to create distance, and closed her spirit pores, converging all her aura.

At this moment,

Both parties’ movements were hidden in the darkness.

The sounds also disappeared.

Clearly, Moyou stopped his advancing move when he saw Bisji converge her Nen.

The battle paused at this moment.

After a moment,

Bisji’s eyes gradually adapted to the dark environment, and she faintly saw Moyou, about twenty meters to her right front.

Moyou seemed to have adapted as well, and after sensing Bisji’s gaze, he also looked at her.

Their gazes intertwined in the darkness.

Whoosh—

Moyou initiated the attack, charging towards Bisji while opening his spirit pores and releasing a bright Nen light.

This time, Bisji did not wait for Moyou to attack from her position; instead, she moved forward to meet him.

Her eyes, adapted to the darkness, clearly saw Moyou’s general appearance, not just a dark silhouette.

Moyou rushed to Bisji and punched her chest.

The punch was straightforward and easy to understand, naturally making it easy to defend against.

Bisji suddenly raised her hand and accurately struck Moyou’s wrist, intending to knock his arm away and end the battle with one hit.

However, Moyou’s punch was a feint. He suddenly changed his move, crouched down, and swept his leg towards Bisji’s lower body.

But how could such a trick deceive Bisji?

The gap in martial arts skills was too large.

Bisji lightly leaped up, dodging Moyou’s sweeping kick, and kicked him hard in the face.

“Bang!”

With a dull sound, Moyou’s body flew backward like an arrow released from a bow.

But at that moment,

The real Moyou revealed himself behind Bisji.

The Moyou who was kicked by Bisji was actually a shadow replica with a mimicked appearance.

Moyou, who had moved behind Bisji, gathered all his strength and punched her back while she was in mid-air.

However—

Bisji seemed to have anticipated this, and she precisely grabbed Moyou’s wrist with her hand.

Although she didn’t know that Moyou had the ability to mimic and share appearances, her understanding of the Soul Resonance ability required her to be prepared for at least two attacks, so it was normal for her to be on guard.

“Huh!?”

Moyou was suddenly startled when his wrist was grabbed.

Before he could react, Bisji threw him to the ground with a shoulder throw.

Instantly,

A loud thud echoed through the martial arts hall.

Moyou’s body felt like it was about to fall apart.

The shadow replica that Bisji kicked in the face also crashed into the wall of the martial arts hall and instantly turned into a blob of black mud.

The double pain feedback made Moyou gasp in pain continuously.

Bisji released Moyou’s wrist and looked at him lying on the ground with a half-smile, half-frown.

“Not bad, little Moyou. When you pulled the switch, were you already thinking about how to knock down your big sister?”

“Sss—”

Moyou struggled to catch his breath and weakly said,

“I knew you would never use ‘Fortitude’ to fight me, so my initial goal was indeed to try to knock you down… But after landing a punch on you, I mentally prepared to be knocked down by you.”

“You should have become more aggressive after landing a punch on your big sister. Why did you become消极 (negative)?”

Bisji smiled down at Moyou’s face.

Moyou took a deep breath and sighed,

“When you realized the attack was about to come… there was a moment of hesitation. I deduced that your nearly instinctive combat awareness told you to converge your Nen to form a ‘Fortitude’ defense, but…”

“You were already committed to only using ‘Practice’ to fight, so the collision between your conscious and subconscious caused you to hesitate.”

“This is the fundamental reason I was able to hit you. Realizing this, I abandoned the naive idea of gradually building an advantage to knock you down and instead foresaw the only possible outcome.”

After saying this, Moyou panted, silently enduring the pain transmitted through his nerves.

Bisji listened to Moyou’s explanation and slowly reined in her smile.

She seriously gazed at Moyou’s face.

In the darkness, she could only see it vaguely.

“Terrifying growth rate…”

Bisji sighed in her heart.
