Obligations of the elderly

"I absolutely don't want to be cut by this kind of thing." The first time she saw the Gongsi scissors the next day, Miss Correia said firmly.

"This kind of thing" Gong Si: ...Yesterday you said that you could let me cut it for free.

"However, since I promised you... I always feel that it's not honest to say what I say. You...you'd better take care of it later." Miss Correia looks beautiful and charming, but she has a little temper Not squeamish, not only that, some behavior styles are quite masculine ←by Gongsi.

So in the next second, Miss Correia transformed into a halberd again, Danan held Miss Correia in his hand, and Xiliu held the palace, both of them moved cautiously.

Open the scissors, and the stream is cut off at the position of the decorative pattern next to the tip of the halberd.Under everyone's attention, the black scissors mouth was like a black hole, getting closer and closer to Miss Correia's snow-white spear tip, and then the stream began to close the scissors mouth——

As the tip of the spear shattered as if melting, Miss Correia let out a scream.

Danan quickly picked up the tip of the gun, and Miss Correia immediately turned into a human form, and jumped to the edge of the ring, her pale face was covered with beads of sweat.

Raising his arm to look at his hand, there was a layer of black on the original white wrist at some point.

The black layer was still not that deep, and after about a minute, it finally faded from Miss Correia's wrist.

Gong Si saw it correctly: she should have used the device in her body to forcefully expel the black energy that had sneaked into her skin.

"It's terrible, the devouring attribute really lives up to its reputation." After a long time, Miss Correia sighed.

Gong Si also turned into a human form. Hearing what she said, Gong Si turned his head and looked at Xi Liu: "Is this the devouring attribute?"

"Absolutely." Miss Correia said resolutely: "Although this is the first time I have encountered the devouring attribute, but the feeling... I really can't find other words to describe it except being swallowed."

"It wasn't cut into pieces, it was swallowed. Didn't you notice that I didn't even fall off when I was cut?" Miss Correia said, thinking of her melted part, she said distressedly: " That is a beautiful pattern that took me a long time to carve out! I specially spent a lot of money to find someone to design it!"

"I'm sorry! I deliberately found an uncritical location to cut it." Xiliu said.

"Designs are also very important!" Ms. Correia is still in pain. For ladies, decorations are also very important, okay?

"How about paying for your new bag? New bags of any brand at any price, three, is that enough?" Xiliu raised his eyebrows.

Turning her head, Miss Correia looked at him: "A new bag? Three more? Really?"

She asked three questions in a row.

Stream nodded at her.

"Oh yeah! That's great!" The next second, Miss Correia burst into tears.

Xiliu winked at the palace: For most women, there is no problem that bags can't solve. If one doesn't work, then there are three.

Palace Si: ...

After finishing Miss Correia, the topic returned to the devouring attribute again.

"You know you have the devouring attribute?" Gong Si didn't seem surprised when he found out that Xiliu hadn't been detected because the values ​​of various attributes were too high.

Xiliu nodded, grabbed Gong Si's hand from the side, and said softly: "It's strange to say, I really didn't know what attribute I was before, but the moment I picked up Ah Si, I suddenly felt something. "

"Didn't Teacher Delin ask us to cut things later? In the process of constantly cutting things, that feeling became more and more intense."

"It was finally confirmed just now." Xiliu said.

Withdrawing his hand, Gong Si said unhappily: "Sorry! I didn't feel anything while holding your hand, probably my various attributes are really too low."

The two groups of people next to them have been listening to the conversation between them. When they heard this, Miss Correia said: "It turns out that the devouring attribute belongs to this gentleman, and that gentleman over there doesn't know his own attribute?"

"I'm sorry that my attribute values ​​are too low to be measured." Gong Si looked at her.

"This is also... really rare." Miss Correia shook her hand: "However, a weapon that can accommodate the devouring attribute must have the blessing of natural attributes."

Gong Si froze for a moment: "Is...is that so?"

Miss Correia nodded, and pointed her index finger with red nails in front of him: "Because apart from the existence of natural attributes, which have no real form, it is difficult for utensils of other attributes to become carriers of devouring attribute energy."

"It's a good thing I'm a weapon of the fire attribute." She frightened again.

"My brothers are all water attributes..." Gong Si thought for a while.

Miss Correa immediately snapped her fingers: "That's right, you are very likely to be of the water attribute. Generally, things like family inheritance are the most reliable, and water has strong healing properties. It's not good, it's more suitable for accommodating devouring attributes."

"It's chilling to think about devouring other people in a liquid form!" Clenching her hands into small fists, Miss Correia said excitedly: "It's even more powerful, it can create a vortex to devour the enemy... um... it's so powerful that it's lawless !"

Gongsi: ...But I'm just a small H-level container...It's still the kind that consumes a lot of energy and has a very low conversion rate...

He didn't say this sentence, but Xiliu seemed to hear the voice in his heart again.

Turning his head, Xiliu said to him: "It doesn't matter if you really can't find the attribute, the devouring attribute is already very powerful, as long as we can get their weapons or their users, we will have a great chance of winning." !"

After thinking about the scene, Gong Si felt a little better: "That's right, as long as you can cut it, you will win."

The two of them just started to think about the next battle, however, Miss Correia spoke again——

"The premise is that you can cut it!"

Both Gongsi and Xiliu looked in her direction.

In front of the two of them, Miss Correia made a gesture of cutting something: "The distance that can be attacked by a small weapon like scissors is considered a melee attack distance!"

"You have to fight hand-to-hand with each other to cut each other, that, you... no, it's you."

She pointed to the stream: "Are you good at close combat?"

Gongsi immediately turned his gaze to the stream, and under everyone's gaze, the stream sighed.

***

"Ahhhhhh! I should be the user, and you are the tool!" Gong Si roared frantically: "I should have thought of it a long time ago, you look so weak, don't talk about close combat, just You shouldn’t even be able to fight, ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah!”

"It's a pity that you raised a chair to help last time!" He remembered what happened in the previous fight.

Xiliu still had a smile on his face: "Hehe, Ah Si is fighting, how can I not help? Even if I will be beaten to death, I have to fight!"

Enough loyalty!Also very courageous!

However--

"How did I come up with this? Fighting in the way of an ability user, I must be in the form of a weapon, and the human form is you! In short, before I confront the opponent's weapon, you have already fought with the opponent's user, you, you ... The key to this fight is not me at all, but you! It's your ability to fight! "

"Compared to watching the competition of ability users, we should enroll you in a fighting class." Gong Si knelt on the ground with a face ashamed.

"It's not too late to sign up now, Ah Si, don't be like this, it's not too late for me to sign up now." Kneeling down and touching Gong Si's head, Xiliu turned to Danan and Qi beside him and said, "Can you teach fighting skills? Train me? The price remains the same."

Danan & Qi: ...

"It's okay! To be honest, we participate in fighting competitions to make money anyway. Compared with competitions where you can get injured at every turn, your kind of money that doesn't get injured is safe and easy to make, but—" Miss Correia said I couldn't help sighing: "I can't stand it anymore, let us teach you something like close combat—"

"We have better recommendations." Qi suddenly spoke.

"Fighting is the first thing to do is to exercise your body. Whether it's a user or a weapon, if you fight with people, your body is a very important basic condition. For things like moves, if you don't participate in special fighting competitions, It’s actually not that important.”

"The more important thing is the accumulation of experience. We can teach you that there is nothing wrong with it, but from a long-term perspective, we are not your future opponents. We don't know his level, and there is no way to simulate it. You need to hone It's a combat response."

"This kind of reaction can only be accumulated by playing against different opponents and going through many games. Practicing with us, it is a little bit monotonous."

"Shall I take you to a place? The place where we studied every day before we became official fighters."

"The players there may not be as stable as us in terms of ability, but in terms of fighting experience, they should be able to give you more help."

Looking at Qi's quiet eyes, and seeing Miss Correia and Danan nodding beside her, Xiliu and Gongsi looked at each other and agreed to their suggestion.

***

Miss Correia and Danan continued to make appointments for the next game, and Qi Heli was given the job of taking them there.

Under the leadership of Qiheli, after staying underground in the hotel for several days, the palaces and streams came to the street outside the hotel for the first time.

The outside is full of skyscrapers, all kinds of glass windows, all kinds of huge light signs, so that people can see the names of major hotels from a distance.

"As expected, there are hotels outside." Gong Si said.

"Well, there is basically only one industry in the second and third east cities. On the surface, it is the hotel industry, but on the inside it is the fighting industry. The whole city exists for this industry." Qili said, leading them through the two hotels Path between tall buildings.

There are not many cars outside, most of them are buses from major hotels, shuttling back and forth on the street, welcoming and sending spectators from all over to watch the fighting competition.

There were very few pedestrians, and one could tell that they were definitely not outsiders. There was no way, most of the outsiders were spectators, even if they were rogue spectators, they had a kind of...how should I describe it?Is it purer?It doesn't feel so lean, but the locals walking on the road seem to have a smell similar to Qili's.

As we walked farther and farther, the palace finally began to see some different buildings.

Built between two hotels, or in other inconspicuous corners, these buildings are obviously not integrated with the surrounding glamorous hotels, more like they were built by individuals, without even a signboard, and the palace has no idea what they are doing What.Only when he passed by occasionally, he saw the things sold in the store, so he could roughly guess the business items of these stores.

"...This is a bakery, the one just now was a fruit shop, and the one I couldn't see before was a barber shop." Noticing Gong Si's curiosity, Li explained a few words to him: "There are all kinds of shops selling these in the hotel , but they are very expensive, and we locals don’t buy them in hotels.”

"The ones sold in this kind of shop are much cheaper, and the price is almost half of that in the hotel."

"So much difference!" Gong Si raised his eyebrows.

"Well. The things in the hotel are just to earn money from outsiders. Even the owner who runs a store here will actually have a branch in the hotel." Ali smiled at him.

With that said, they finally stopped leaving. Qi turned around and led them into a dilapidated one-story building. Like other roadside buildings, there was no signboard outside this building, so it was hard to tell that it was a The inside was dark and there was nothing there, but Qi led them into the side door and walked down the steps inside. Gongsi was surprised to find that it was an underground building, and gradually descended with the steps. He heard the hustle and bustle of people, and smelled a familiar smell...

The taste of the arena?

Coming out of the stairwell, the moment the scene outside suddenly became clear, Gong Si realized: Huh?Is it really an arena?

What appeared in front of them was a huge underground space. The ceiling was covered with lamps, illuminating the entire underground space like daytime. Below were rings one after another, of various sizes. On the stage were couples fighting. The smell of sweat, the sound of muffled roars, the sound of flesh and blood... filled the entire space.

However, Gong Si quickly denied that this is an arena: there are no spectators here, but there are coaches. Seeing a tall man walking along the rings while giving instructions, Gong Si thought: This should be a dojo, the one who practices martial arts kind.

Qi quickly confirmed his guess: "This is the place where we practice before we officially become fighters. You only need to pay one day's money to practice there for a day, and there will be special guidance from the coach."

As Qi spoke, she yelled, and many people immediately rushed towards them——

"Sister Aqi, are you back? I heard that you started the competition and won, so amazing!"

"Is the arena over there any good? Doesn't it feel special to fight?"

……

so many people!So many questions!

Qili obviously knew them very well.

After answering their questions one by one, Qi asked them to go back to training, while Ali looked in one direction and called out: "Coach."

"This is our client, someone from outside, who will have a decisive battle soon. For this reason, we came here to watch the game. We think this method is too slow, so we want to introduce them here to have more practical experience. "Qi briefly explained the situation.

"People outside?" The tall man called the coach raised his eyebrows: "You don't seem to be meddling in such nosy things."

He obviously knew Qi and Li well.

"They are very good guests. They paid a lot of money to watch our game and promised not to let us get hurt. We are all a little bit sorry..." Qi said: "They have no problem in terms of ability, what is needed now is close combat In this case, it is too much to spend the same money as a sparring partner, so here is more suitable.”

"Because we are cheap?" The coach raised his eyebrows.

He already had a fierce face with scars all over his face, but this raised eyebrow made the scars on his face seem alive, making him look even more hideous.

"No, it's just suitable." Qi was not frightened by him, but smiled: "Shouldn't you be happy to introduce a good client to you?"

"They never owe money, daily." Qi said, looking at the stream.

Xiliu immediately took out his wallet, revealing a stack of fresh banknotes inside.

The man then rudely took a bill from inside: "100 dong per person per day, hello! Don't you have any small bills? How long will it take?"

Xiliu blinked: "Xie Kai didn't put small bills in for me, I didn't prepare the wallet..."

"Cut! Is the young master from outside? How long will it take?" The man asked him again while blowing his beard.

"Let's put it at your place first, it's hard for us to say how many days." Xiliu said.

"Go! Just find a ring, if someone is on it, someone will go up, and if there is no one, someone will go up later. The rules here are not to hurt others maliciously, others are not allowed to hurt you maliciously, and you are not allowed to hurt others maliciously, otherwise I will kill you Go out, don't cry if you are slightly injured, just call me grandpa, I have basic wound medicine here."

"Massage included." As he spoke, he raised his huge fist.

Looking at those fists, Xiliu smiled, nodded towards Qiheli, and then he pulled up Gongsi and ran directly to the ring.

"Cut! Don't run away if you can't hold on for a long time..." Looking at the backs of the two, the man muttered again.

"I leave it to you, and I'm going back too, it's time to book the next game." Smiling at him, Qi also left.

"Don't try your best, keep the green hills here!" Chao Qi roared, seeing Qi waving at him, the man turned around again and continued to tour the venue.

***

Probably the two people were not from here at first glance. Although they don't know why the coach accepted them, but for a while, no one came to their ring at all.

But even if someone came up, Gong Si was a little worried.

He was a little unsure about the melee level of the stream, so he simply fought against the stream first.

After putting on the gloves and protective gear for Xiliu, and putting them on himself, he reached out and hit his two full sets. Gong Si beckoned to Xiliu: "Come on! Come and fight with me!"

Blinking, Xiliu nodded, walked slowly over, and—

With just one punch, he was knocked to the ground by Gong Si.

Palace Si: ...

"Are you so weak!?" He almost vomited blood.

"It's not that I'm weak, it's that you are too strong, A Si?" Xi Liu also wanted to vomit blood: he, he is just habitually modest, he, he, he, he has practiced a little bit!He also wanted to surprise Gong Si during the actual battle!

"You are so weak that you scare me." However, what Gong Si felt was obviously only shock, not surprise.

"No, no, Si, you are definitely not an ordinary person. An ordinary person will definitely not be able to knock me down with one punch." Xiliu was still defending.

"It's not wrong for me to practice free kickboxing since elementary school. I even won the championship in several nearby towns' joint competitions in my freshman year of high school."

"However, it's just a small game, it's okay."

stream:……

"A Si, you are too humble." Even more humble than me, he touched the blood on the side of his mouth, and Xiliu put himself into a good posture again.

"Are you going to do it again? I think I might let you fight other people, and you will be more likely to get hurt if I beat you." Gong Si hesitated.

Beckoning, Xiliu signaled that he was fine: "I just slept for too long and my body is not in good shape. You sucked a lot of my energy, and my body will be much better in the future."

"Come again." He said firmly to Gong Si.

The two fought together again.

From the beginning, he was beaten to the ground with one punch, and then he was beaten to the ground with two or three punches. Xiliu has been under Gongsi's fist for a longer and longer time. Gongsi learned from childhood, and Xiliu was also taught by a famous teacher since childhood. (Although they spent a lot of time sleeping), the two of them fought with great posture, and the existence of "movements" could be clearly seen with punches and kicks, which was completely different from Ye Luzi around at first glance, and they were originally outsiders. There were already a lot of people around paying attention to them, but at the beginning, everyone noticed them because they were vigilant, or because they were just watching for fun. The more they were displayed in front of everyone, gradually, more people gathered around them.

After all, in this kind of place, there are fewer people with professional background, and everyone wants to learn good moves.

In short, more and more people watched their games, and some even asked them to make an appointment to challenge.

"Hey! That little brother over there! You are amazing! Stop beating him for a while, and fight with me, okay?" There were more people in Yue Gongsi.

"You too, would you like to try with me? I think our level is closer." However, it's not that no one wants to talk to Xiliu at all.

"Okay!" Gong Si quickly agreed, obviously more suited to the atmosphere here than the stream.

"But he is my user, don't beat him up, I'll settle the score with you!" He also warned the people around him in a local way.

"Hahahaha! No problem!"

Amidst the laughter, they finally integrated into this place. Although the two of them were separated in the following time, when they occasionally looked up at each other's game, they looked at each other happily, which made them feel more connected.

At the end of the first day, Gong Si's whole body was sore, and his body was somewhat injured. Xiliu could only be more serious than him. After being massaged by the coach, Xiliu could not move at all.

however--

There was a smile on his face.

The black eyes are shining, the stream is staring at the dilapidated ceiling above, and the dim light of the setting sun comes in from the window, making the room golden.

"Tired?" Gong Si asked him, he had basically been training without interruption, but he adapted to this place very quickly.

Xiliu nodded, then smiled: "But very happy."

"When I was at home, whether it was Xie Kai or the teacher I found, they didn't dare to hit me like this, so for a long time, I didn't realize that I was so good."

"Actually, you are quite strong. Although you are worse than me, they all say that your moves are perfectly mastered, but your physical strength is not enough." Gong Si said to him.

"My physical strength will become stronger." Xiliu continued: "A Si, you have absorbed a lot of energy from me again, and I feel much more relaxed again."

"I tried my best to suck." Gong Si finally said this, not knowing what to answer.

"Hmm!" Xiliu curled his lips, and then the smile on the corner of his mouth froze in place: "But before it becomes stronger, Ah Si, can you carry me back today? I...I can't seem to walk anymore."

Palace Si: ...

"Now you carry me, and later I will become stronger and carry you." Xiliu said ahead of time.

Palace Si: ...

"Don't worry about it." Resigned to fate, Gong Si spoke to the coach and ended today's training.
