The technique's name was "Sensing Environment," but in reality, all he learned at that time was theory. He hadn't practiced this technique at all. This would be the first time he was going to use it in a real fight.
Previously, he had learned this technique out of curiosity, never thinking that one day it might help him in a crucial event. So, he started to use this technique, and the spiritual energy around Asura began to manipulate according to him, although on a very small scale.
Asura muttered, "This is not enough. I have to master this technique during the fight with Juliet. Luckily, it worked. Even though I only control a very small portion of the surrounding spiritual energy for now, I will master it within half an hour."
If others heard this, they would be shocked because mastering this technique is no joke. Many people didn't try to learn it because it was used in very rare cases. Even for those who attempted to learn, it would take at least half a month and this was the time predicted for those geniuses whose comprehension skills were top notch as for an average cultivator, it could take much longer.
So, for Asura to think he could master this technique within half an hour shows how terrifying his comprehension skill was.
Juliet also noticed the sudden change. She observed that the spiritual energy around Asura was behaving differently than normal while she continuously attacked him. She concluded that this must be related to Asura.
She knew about this type of techniques that could use the spiritual energy of the surroundings, but she didn't expect Asura to know it. In her view, very few cultivators learn this type of technique because it wasn't used often, and many cultivators haven't needed to use this type of technique in their entire lives. Also, learning this type of technique was not easy. Even she hadn't learned it because she considered it a waste of time.
One thing that made her relieved was she saw Asura's control over the spiritual energy of the surroundings as superficial, something that couldn't harm Juliet. However, what she didn't know was that in the next half hour, Asura would master this technique.
Asura replied to the previous question she asked " Dream on Bitch. I will never be your servant and I think you don't have the ability to make me one"
Juliet roared, "You arrogant brat! Your tongue is really sharp. I hope you will be able to call me that again when I pull out your tongue from your mouth and cut it into a thousand pieces."
She was genuinely angry this time. She didn't even know the last time someone dared to call her a bitch, and the most irritating thing for her was that this word came out of the mouth of a junior, which made her really angry.
She sped up her attacks, and for the first time, Asura found himself outmatched in terms of speed. Juliet's whip struck Asura's body from different directions, tearing his clothes in the process. The wounds were now visible through the torn parts of the fabric, each one a testament to the effectiveness of the whip attacks.
Juliet's eyes brightened with malicious glee as she saw Asura's exposed wounds. With a swift and calculated move, she aimed her whip directly at the vulnerable areas, intending to exploit every weakness in Asura's defense. However, Asura, sensing the imminent danger, quickly shifted his focus to defend against the incoming attacks.
As the whip lashed out, Asura expertly blocked and dodged, minimizing the damage inflicted upon him. The battle between them intensified, each move executed with precision and ferocity. Asura, fueled by the urgency to master the "Sensing Environment" technique, was determined to turn the tide of the fight in his favor.
During the exchange, Asura's heightened awareness allowed him to discern something peculiar about Juliet's whip. As he concentrated on the weapon, he realized that it was not only a formidable tool for physical attacks but also contained a subtle layer of poison. The poison, though not immediately lethal, was potent enough to weaken an opponent over time.
Asura's mind raced, considering how to counter this new threat. The realization that Juliet had integrated poison into her attacks added a layer of complexity to the battle. He understood that sustaining injuries, even minor ones, could prove more detrimental in the long run due to the insidious effects of the poison.
Juliet, reveling in her perceived advantage, continued her relentless assault. She aimed for Asura's exposed areas, attempting to exploit any vulnerability. Asura, however, remained vigilant, countering and parrying with strategic precision.
In the midst of their clash, Asura seized an opportunity to redirect Juliet's attention. With a sudden burst of speed and a well-timed strike, he managed to disarm her temporarily. The whip flew out of Juliet's hand, giving Asura a momentary respite.
Capitalizing on this opening, Asura continued to refine his control over the "Sensing Environment" technique. The spiritual energy responded more readily to his commands, gradually increasing in scale and effectiveness.
He realized that mastering this skill was not only helpful in using the surrounding spiritual energy but also in countering Juliet's poisonous whip attacks by preventing the poison from entering his body, which made him feel better.
The battle reached a critical juncture. Juliet suddenly said, "Enough of the playing. If your body survives this attack, I will make your body undead."
After saying that much, Juliet started to chant, and the Purple Lady's shadow appeared again. The pressure exerted by it made Asura very serious and now Asura could feel this fight had entered in its final stage.
