Chapter 59: The Duel of Girlfriend Friends
After being told so by Su Ling, Lonis recognized that the tentacle monster seemed to be the one she had commanded before.
After being strengthened by the girl, it looked much tougher, its size had become thicker, and it had grown several more tentacles… But as Su Ling said, it was honestly just accompanying the girl in practicing swordplay and hadn’t done anything excessive.
Elusias also put her hands on her hips and said with a slight annoyance:
“Hmm, it seems to have been tamed? Although looking at this guy makes me a little angry, I can’t deny that it’s thanks to idiot Lonis.”
“Wuwu… Elusias, I’m sorry, before I…”
“No need to mention what happened before, I had a lot of fun anyway?”
“Had a lot of fun… Wow, little Lon, little Elus, can tentacle monsters be played with? How do you play!?” As soon as she heard this, Su Ling curiously leaned forward. Lonis couldn’t help but recall what happened at that time, and could only blush and change the subject:
“No, it wasn’t playing With it! I’m talking about training. Su Ling, are you still managing the power of the Fiery Abyss well?”
“Yeah, I’ve made a lot of progress! I’ve also consulted Senior Isumi these past few days and learned many moves… Do you, little Lon and little Elus, want to see!”
“Senior Isumi? Hmm, I’m really looking forward to it!”
…
It seemed that in places she didn’t know about, everyone was also working hard in silence. To verify Su Ling’s learning level, Lonis and Elusias moved a chair and sat on the side.
However, they didn’t expect…
“Su Ling, what are you doing with raw meat?”
“Practicing! Senior said this is an unavoidable step in unleashing the power of the Fiery Abyss?”
“???”
“Watch this, Evil Dragon Roar—Fiery Abyss Flavored Roasted Lamb!”
…
Su Ling widened her mouth, and then what? A scorching flame sprayed towards the skewered raw meat~~
Sizzle, whoosh!
Normal barbecue takes half a day to cook, but Su Ling only sprayed for a dozen seconds before the skewers were done—hot and fresh. After sprinkling with cumin, the aroma was truly pervasive.
“That’s amazing… No, what’s amazing about it!! Su Ling, is this the technique that Isumi taught you?”
“Mhm, little Lon, try it too!”
“Wuwu, I already told you, the Fiery Abyss isn’t for grilling meat…”
Although Lonis felt a little “embarrassed” about using her “own power” in such a way, objectively speaking, the Fiery Abyss flavored grilled meat was delicious!
The texture was distinct, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and not a bit of moisture was lost.
“Hmm, that’s really good! It reminds me of the time I ate Fiery Abyss grilled steak. Well done, Su Ling!”
Elusias was not stingy with her praise and complimented Su Ling.
“Hehe, it’s just that right now, Su Ling can’t control the heat perfectly! When Su Ling can roast all the skewers evenly, Senior Isumi promised to teach me the ’88 Secret Arts of Academy Roasted Duck’! With that, I’ll be even more advanced.”
“Wuwu…”
Lonis didn’t know where to start complaining, but from another perspective, if raw meat could be cooked in ten seconds, then facing enemies with flesh and blood, it would be easy to scorch them too, right?
This was also a very powerful ability, after all, even with the Crimson Lotus Hammer, Lonis could only warm it up a little—in the past, Lonis didn’t even have the strength to lift the Crimson Lotus Hammer and could only rely on Elusias!
Things turned out this way.
After the girls finished eating the grilled skewers, their moods calmed down quite a bit due to being full, so Elusias tilted her head and said:
“Hmm, I think Su Ling’s combat resolve is good. If Lonis is still a little worried, why don’t you have a spar with Su Ling?”
“Huh? Me and Su Ling…?”
“Elusias, I, I can’t win against her!”
Facing Elusias’s suggestion, Su Ling seemed a little flustered.
However, the black-haired girl just patted her head and said:
“No need to worry. Didn’t Su Ling have a lot of courage when facing Mixue before? So now you should have the confidence to defeat little idiot, right?”
“That’s a different matter, big sister. Because we often fought when we were kids…”
Su Ling sighed and said, “But, if we can spar, then it’s fine. What do you think, little Lon? Do you want Su Ling to be your opponent?”
“Hmm… then let’s spar. It’s also that I don’t know what the combat style of the Fiery Abyss is. Su Ling, come on!”
…
…
And so, Lonis took a deep breath, preparing to spar with Su Ling.
The two stood on opposite sides, with Elusias acting as the referee… The rules of the match were simple, just like last time. Both sides held energy swords, and whoever left more marks on the other’s body would be judged the winner.
If it were the Lonis of the past, she definitely couldn’t beat Su Ling!
Because she hadn’t added any points to her physique or agility, but now, after being strengthened a while ago, Lonis felt that she had one-tenth of the strength she had as a hero!
…
“Su Ling, I’m being serious, so give it your all!”
“Mhm, little Lon, Su Ling will go easy on you too.”
…
Even this one-tenth of her strength was enough for Lonis to use many things. For example, one of her favorite ultimate moves from the past: Straight Line Shuttle!
This was an ultimate move that targeted weak points. Lonis only needed to focus on one point, and her body would naturally enter a state, attacking towards that position, and hitting directly no matter how the opponent dodged!
However…
Perhaps it was because Su Ling was her companion?
Although Lonis said she wouldn’t hold back, in reality, she was afraid of actually hurting Su Ling, so for a moment she couldn’t easily pinpoint the opponent’s weakness, and in the end, it became…
“Huh?”
“Waaah!”
Although Lonis’s energy sword hit Su Ling, it actually hit the hem of Su Ling’s skirt!
The whistling air came head-on, and instantly lifted Su Ling’s short skirt—because it was a bear-style, Lonis not only didn’t feel sexy, but even felt guilty.
“W-wait a minute!”
“Waaah, my skirt got lifted, wuwu…”
“Su Ling, I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to… Ahhh, Elusias, let me explain! I really didn’t mean to!!!!”
Lonis shook her head in a panic, afraid that Elusias would think she was very promiscuous, and that she wasn’t serious even during practice.
However…
“Hmph, if little idiot keeps being so half-hearted, you’ll lose!”
“Huh?”
“Su Ling is about to turn the tide of the battle after being outmaneuvered!”
“!”
Lonis glanced around and only then noticed that Su Ling wasn’t blaming Lonis for lifting her underpants.
Although she was slightly blushing, she focused all her energy on the battle. The girl tightly gripped her energy sword and charged forward again.
“Little Lon, I’m going to use my full power!”
“Huh?”
“Ultimate Move: Su Ling’s Dream Sword!”
The girl’s pink hair fluttered, and her body seemed to transform into a ball of flames, thrusting straight at Lonis.
