Standing by the window, Sonia had completely forgotten why she came out to get water.
She stared blankly outside.
In the courtyard, Sun Wuming's limbs moved like lightning, constantly defending against rapid attacks from three versions of himself that came like a storm.
Finding an opening, Sun Wuming took a step back.
Before the clones could catch up, he used the Sky Dance technique to leap up, flying dozens of meters into the air.
Sonia, who was secretly observing, was startled again.
He can fly too!?
Before she could even process this,
The three Sun Wumings' bodies erupted with invisible pressure waves.
They leaped up to chase him in the air.
The original in the highest position hardened his gaze.
He dove down, exchanging punches with one of the clones.
BOOM!!!
An incredibly powerful shockwave rippled outward, turning into pressure waves that swept across the entire town.
Fortunately, it happened nearly a hundred meters in the air.
So it didn't affect the ground.
At most, people felt a strong gust of wind.
In mid-air, the original Sun Wuming continued fighting with his three clones.
Facing three opponents of equal level.
Constantly defending, creating space, counterattacking!
First he took down one.
Then the second, and the third!
The clones that were knocked down to the ground gradually became transparent within seconds, finally disappearing completely.
Completely mesmerized, Sonia had lost track of time.
Only when the original Sun Wuming descended from the air did she finally come back to her senses.
In the courtyard, covered in blood, Sun Wuming exchanged for a senzu bean from his system and popped it in his mouth.
As his bruises rapidly healed, he muttered to himself:
"What a useless technique, though it's not bad for self-training."
The martial art technique Sun Wuming was using was the signature move of Tien Shinhan, a supporting character and bit player from Dragon Ball—
The Four Witches Technique.
It could create three solid clones to fight alongside oneself.
However, the trade-off was that power, speed, and overall abilities would be reduced by half.
This was seriously useless.
Not even as good as Naruto Uzumaki's Shadow Clone Technique.
Damn it, even an idiot knows how stupid it is to use a technique that reduces your abilities when fighting against someone of equal strength.
Still, this move is pretty good for self-training.
Sun Wuming took off his training clothes, wiped the sweat from his face and muttered:
"I'm so thirsty..."
Before he finished speaking, a large cup of water appeared in his field of vision.
Turning his head, he saw Sonia holding a 200ml small cup in her left hand and a 2-liter large cup in her right hand, offering them to him.
...
...
Gulp gulp!
Watching Sun Wuming drink both cups of water like a cow, Sonia covered her mouth and smiled, taking a sip of water herself before asking:
"Training so late at night, you're really dedicated."
"Well, I have to train those two girls during the day."
Sun Wuming replied calmly, handing the cups back to Sonia.
"You're really good to them."
Sonia said with a hint of envy.
"Another cup."
Sonia rolled her eyes, wanting to tell him to "get it yourself."
But she still obediently took the cup.
A minute later, she returned with another full cup of water.
"Thanks!"
Sun Wuming grinned, drinking most of the large cup of water while Sonia rolled her eyes.
"Hey~ There's something I've been wanting to ask you."
Noticing there was no one else around, Sonia suddenly asked Sun Wuming:
"Between Sada and Luluna, which one do you like more?"
Although Luluna's feelings for Sun Wuming weren't as obvious.
As her best friend, Sonia could easily see how differently she treated Sun Wuming compared to other men.
As for Sada, it went without saying.
Her admiration for Sun Wuming had reached an incurable level.
Sun Wuming turned to look Sonia in the eyes.
After a full half minute passed, just as Sonia was starting to feel uncomfortable and was about to look away.
Sun Wuming suddenly raised his right hand, making a fist.
"I want them both!"
Sonia: "..."
After several minutes of silence, Sonia narrowed her emerald eyes, wearing an expression like she was looking at scum:
"You player!"
She suddenly regretted not secretly recording Sun Wuming's player talk just now.
To let her best friend hear it tomorrow.
"Well, that's honestly how I feel, go ahead and tell Luluna if you want."
Seeing Sun Wuming's complete lack of shame, Sonia couldn't help but feel angry.
After saying "you'll see," she quickly returned to her bedroom.
...
...
Early the next morning.
Because they needed to return to Mizuho Town to start training, Sun Wuming's group had to temporarily bid farewell to Sonia and Professor Magnolia.
"Luluna, I need to tell you something."
Before saying goodbye, Sonia suddenly pulled Luluna to a corner of the research facility and said in a low voice:
"You need to stay away from that guy, you know? He's an absolute player!"
"What are you talking about? I, I don't have those kinds of feelings for him."
Luluna quickly looked away, stubbornly denying it.
"Just listen to me, whatever you do, don't develop that kind of relationship with him!"
Sonia's actions perfectly illustrated the meaning of "friends don't encourage relationships."
"How do you know?"
Hearing Sonia repeatedly describe Sun Wuming as a reincarnation of a playboy, Luluna couldn't help but ask.
"He told me himself last night! With his own mouth!"
Sonia proudly thrust out her chest, which was three sizes larger than Luluna's.
"Last night? When did you talk last night? Why were you talking about this? Why were you two alone together!?"
Wariness flashed in Luluna's eyes, along with a hint of... hostility.
"..."
Sonia wanted to cry. Had she shot herself in the foot?
She had good intentions, yet Luluna suspected she had something going on with that player?
She would never have anything to do with him in this lifetime!
