Looking at her fanatical eyes, I finally understood why she, who looked dignified and beautiful, would set such a condition for choosing a friend. It was just because she was a martial arts fanatic.
I was very familiar with her current eyes. When I was in the Dragon Group before, there were the most martial arts fanatics like her.
"The reason behind this is really not something that can be explained in a few words. This should be regarded as a wonderful application of my fighting spirit, just like last time I could make the sound of a small flute spread throughout the entire forest."
I knew that if I didn't tell her the answer, I would definitely not be at peace today.
But no matter how clearly I explained it, she would never really understand it.
Teacher Mei Xin was disappointed and exclaimed: "I didn't expect that there is such a magical fighting spirit in the world. It's really eye-opening."
I smiled and said: "In fact, these are just trifles and are of no use. He can deal with Calorie only because his fighting spirit is inferior to mine. Otherwise, I'm afraid I would make a fool of myself on the spot."
Teacher Mei Xin thought for a while and said: "Maybe not! If you can suddenly make such a sound during close combat, I'm afraid anyone will be unable to move. Maybe the magician will even disperse the condensed magic. At that time, it's your chance. Such a trick is much more difficult to guard against than the movements of the hands."
I looked at her approvingly and nodded.
I didn't expect that she saw the biggest advantage of the 'Lion's Roar' after just one look. It can be imagined how good her understanding of martial arts is.
No wonder, there are so many masters in the academy, and there are many great swordsman-level teachers, but no one can defeat her.
"Unfortunately, my strength is still too weak. Even if I am a little stronger than Calorie, it is still very limited. You can probably solve it with one move. Otherwise, I really want to compete with you and learn your extraordinary skills." Teacher Mei Xin said with regret on her face.
I smiled indifferently, but did not comment.
I don't want to fight with her. One reason is that as she said, her strength is not enough to arouse my interest. Another reason is that I am afraid that she will pester me to fight. Previous experience tells me that for martial arts idiots like her, I should either stay away from her or ignore her.
As long as I fight with her, it will be a troublesome thing whether I win or lose.
After saying goodbye to Teacher Mei Xin, I returned to the apartment, but saw Philiya chatting with Princess Kelly and a strange woman in green at home, while Alice was bored and teasing Xiaoyu next to her.
Seeing me coming back, Alice still rushed into my arms like a cannonball, and now her true qi has achieved some success, and her strength is as strong as that of an adult. If it weren't for me, there really weren't many people who could bear it.
Although Philiya had persuaded her many times for this, it was ineffective. Alice, who had always been obedient, was unexpectedly stubborn on this point.
Holding Alice, who was hanging on me like a koala, I lifted her up as usual and greeted Princess Kelly with a smile.
I have always had a good impression of this little princess. Although she is a princess of one of the five empires, she never puts on airs, and she is innocent and cute, very likable.
Kelly took out a red invitation and handed it to me, saying, "Brother Edmund, this is the invitation that Prince Randys asked me to give you. To celebrate your victory in the duel, he specially invites your family to his prince's mansion for a banquet tomorrow."
I took the invitation, flipped through it, and smiled, "Prince Randys is really too polite. But please help me reply to him and say that I appreciate the kindness, but forget about the banquet."
I looked at the blue-clothed woman next to me and asked, "I wonder who this is...?"
Kelly hurriedly introduced Shao said, "This is my Auntie Apdos, who is also the honorary tutor of the academy. I haven't seen her for a long time. I happened to meet her nearby today, so I dragged her here with me."
The woman in green said sincerely, "Hello, Director Edmund. I just saw Director Edmund's strength this afternoon. I am really ashamed of myself. I am sorry to bother you. If I have offended you, please forgive me."
I squinted my eyes and smiled slightly. I naturally knew that what she wanted me to forgive was not the current disturbance, but the tracking and surveillance of me not long ago.
As early as when I saw her, I already knew that she was the one who secretly protected Princess Kelly on the way to Osdrey, and she was also one of the people who followed me during this period.
The reason why she showed up today may be because of the warning I just issued!
Looking at her fighting spirit strength, she is already a master of the sword saint level. I wonder how many moves Philiya can support in her hands now?
I actually forgot to answer while I was thinking, which made the sincere lady in green embarrassed.
At this time, Philiya came up quickly, gently pulled my sleeve, and said, "Sister Apdos is too polite. It is our honor that you can come with Princess Kelly. Come on, let's continue. Where were we just talking? I used to be a mercenary! But I have never been to as many places as you, sister!"
After saying that, she rolled her eyes at me again and pulled Apdos to continue chatting.
"Alice, look, mom ignores us. What do you think we should do?" I looked at Alice in my arms and asked with a smile.
"Then let's play catching thieves, okay? I want to be a thief!" Alice said excitedly. The so-called catching thieves was a small game I made to train her body skills. To put it bluntly, it was one person running away and the other chasing. It has always been played by Alice and Philiya, and Qinsi would occasionally participate.
Generally speaking, Alice's speed is not inferior in a short time, but in a longer time, she is no match for Philiya.
After all, Qinsi's cultivation is still weak. Even if she is gifted as an elf, she is still no match for the two in terms of speed.
However, she is more agile than Philiya and her daughter, so she can hold on for a while.
"Okay! Brother will play with you, but whoever loses will have a few small pieces of paper on his face." I said with a smirk.
After formulating the rules of the game, I have never played this game with them. Now it is rare that Alice took the initiative to propose it, so I naturally want to leave her some "good" memories.
Although Philiya was chatting with Apdos, she was always paying attention to me. After hearing me make such a proposal, she couldn't help but roll her eyes at me again. Isn't this clearly bullying Alice?
Alice tilted her head and thought for a while, then said, "Then my brother has to agree to a few conditions first."
I smiled and said, "Okay! You know how to negotiate with my brother! Tell me, what are the conditions?"
Alice said seriously, "My brother can't exceed my speed, can't grab me with his hands, and can't use other methods to block my speed, especially can't use that shouting!"
She also knows "Lion's Roar"? It seems that the news of the duel has spread here in a short time.
"Okay! Are these the conditions? Then can we start?" I walked towards the arena in the apartment and asked.
Alice thought about it seriously, and felt that it was still not reassuring, so she said: "Also, you have to let me run first, and you can catch up after I say start."
I smiled and nodded, and when we arrived at the arena, Alice immediately ran far away, leaving a distance of nearly 20 meters from me, and then said: "Start!"
I was like strolling in the garden, slowly chasing after Alice, and Alice had already used all her skills, jumping, dodging left and right, and running around in the room.
I was not in a hurry to catch up with her, but just followed her closely and carefully observed her skills.
It must be said that the mutant true qi that integrates the wind element has a unique advantage in improving speed. Alice's current speed is no longer inferior to that of ordinary thieves.
In the living room, Philiya and the other two were paying more attention to me. When they heard that I was going to play the game of catching thieves with Alice, Princess Kelly couldn't help herself and said, "Sister Philiya, let's go and have a look!"
The other two naturally wouldn't refuse, so the three of them came to the competition room together.
On the way, when Apdos learned what kind of game catching thieves was, she immediately became excited.
For a swordsman who wins by speed, it is naturally a great opportunity to have such an opportunity to observe my body movements.
When she arrived at the competition room, she was shocked by the scene in front of her as soon as she entered the door.
She had seen part of my body movements on the way to Osdre. It was elegant and without any anger. Although the speed of the display was not too fast, the ease of the performance was absolutely beyond her reach.
Seeing such body movements again, she was not surprised except for admiration.
What really shocked her was Alice's body movements.
She already knew that Alice was just a ten-year-old girl, and because of the Qi training, she could not detect the strength of Alice's fighting spirit, so she didn't care.
However, now she found that Alice's speed and body movements were definitely not inferior to those of ordinary great swordsmen.
Although she looked far less graceful than me, Alice's posture was also graceful when she ran, like a weak flower supporting a willow.
Although she was a little awkward when she turned, her speed did not decrease. I think it was just because she was not skilled enough.
It was no wonder that she was so shocked when such body movements appeared on a ten-year-old girl.
In her opinion, with such body movements, Alice would not necessarily lose even if she fought with a high-level swordsman.
However, even Nia Qiao, who was known as the first genius of the Os Empire, was only a high-level knight at this age. Could it be that this was a genius far beyond Nia?
Apdos stared at the lively and agile Alice, but her heart could not calm down for a long time.
I finally started to exert my strength. Although, due to the agreement, I couldn't use a speed faster than Alice, but with my keen eyesight and superb skills, I could not only quickly determine her direction and landing point, but also choose the shortest route.
I couldn't catch her with my hands, so I let her bump into me.
So, the final result was that Alice pouted her little mouth and helplessly watched me stick the long little note on her forehead, wanting to cry but not crying.
