Chapter 922: Learning From Each Other (2)



Hovering in the skies of the Purpleflame Territory, Vaan and Valefor continued to spar and learn from each other. They both understood each other had their strengths and weaknesses.

In Vaan's case, his weakness was that he had not achieved the realm of muscle memory.

The realm of muscle memory was a state of mind that required constant polishing to maintain. After all, new knowledge was learned every day. Without absorbing the knowledge properly, it would consume more time and energy to use.

It was similar to the difference between a messy folder and an organized folder; information from the organized folder was quicker and easier to find.

Meanwhile, Valefor did not seem to have any apparent weakness after mastering control of his True Divinity-level body. He had polished his realm of muscle memory and entered the realm of minute subtlety.

However, that didn't mean he couldn't improve further.

For example, if he could learn Vaan's level of foresight, his combat prowess would be able to improve a step further.

The ability to predict the opponent's actions based on information from their six senses was something Valefor found lacking compared to Vaan. After all, he was never the intelligent type and was more of the instinctual kind.

That was why he had much to learn from Vaan in this aspect.

Valefor also believed he would be able to master this ability as long as he fought and observed the person.

"What's the matter, Other Me? Why are you evading me? Are you not confident in your close combat skills anymore?" Valefor goaded after seeing Vaan avoid him.

Although he had a newfound appreciation for Vaan, it did not change the fact that beating the person also felt very satisfying. It was almost like an addictive drug, urging him for more.

However, Vaan knew he was temporarily at a disadvantage. Thus, he did not give Valefor such satisfaction.

Otherwise, he would have to eat his earlier words.

Nevertheless, while Vaan was dodging Valefor's attacks, he was also learning from his utilization of the laws.

Unlike Vaan, who wielded several laws for several different purposes, Valefor mainly used one law for all.

Even Valefor's flight ability was achieved through the clever utilization of the Asura Law.

By coating himself in a thin layer of asura power, he cut off the world's gravity. A second layer of asura power was further added to alternate between removing the air resistance or strengthening it by cutting its opposite property.

The first layer of asura power was enough to achieve levitation, but the second layer granted speed and versatility.

Moreover, it seemed such thin layers of asura power were Valefor's method of optimizing his soul power consumption. After all, he did not need to remove gravity from the whole region; he only needed to exclude himself from the world's gravity.

It was clear that his current flight ability was the result of countless years of refinement and improvement.

Nevertheless, it also showed that a single law could do many things, if not everything. The only limit was one's imagination and knowledge.

That said, Vaan doubted other Divine Beings could achieve the same mastery in other laws. He believed it also had to do with the fact that the Asura Law was an Origin Law, which had transcended the heavens due to the Lord of Chaos stepping into Beyond True Divinity.

"Hehehe, did my last hit turn you into a timid cat? Do you think you can run forever, Other Me? How about you stop being a pussy and face me!" Valefor provoked Vaan again, feeling a little impatient with his misses.

However, contrary to his repeated provocation, Vaan did not continue evading Valefor's attacks. He suddenly turned around and faced him head-on with a bright smile.

Ding!

<You have achieved the realm of muscle memory>

<You have reached the realm of minute subtlety>

...

Having fought Valefor on two different fronts, Vaan had rapidly completed his training for what he was lacking.

Not only had he been facing Valefor in reality, but he had also used the battle experience to simulate thousands of different mental battles in his mind.

Thus, even if it had only been an hour of sparring between them, it felt more like months of accumulated sparring to Vaan.

Peng! Peng!

In the instance two fists collided with each other, Valefor's spirited expression immediately stiffened. His fist gave way to stronger force as Vaan's fists accelerated and struck him squarely in the face.

It was as if he had been struck with two fists in a single motion. The brute force immediately sent him flying over ten kilometers.

Moments later, Valefor returned to Vaan's location with an ugly expression.

"You cheated."

The only reason Valefor lost in the exchange of blows when their strength should have been equal was because Vaan's fist had actually been a stage higher in power.

Ding!

<You have used Celestial Dragonwolf Transformation>

<All physical attributes have been raised by one stage>

...

=====

[Strength: First-stage Divine Knight level → Second-stage Divine Knight level] [Defense: First-stage Divine Knight level → Second-stage Divine Knight level]

[Speed: First-stage Divine Knight level → Second-stage Divine Knight level]

Vaan ignored Valefor's accusation and charged at him again, causing the latter to defend himself hurriedly.

Peng!

Valefor was still a step slower due to the difference in their speed. His body shot straight into

the ground and produced a sizable crater from the strong impact.

Shortly after, Valefor shot out of the crater with a furious look.

"What the hell are you doing now?! If you're going to raise your strength, you should have at least lifted my cultivation by a stage as well!" Valefor thundered.

"Now, why would I do that?" Vaan nonchalantly replied before saying, "I have already achieved the results I wanted from this training session, so now it's my turn to help you."

"Help me?! More like bully me, right!?" Valefor snarled.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

"Sigh, I'm hurt, Other Me. How can you mistake my kind intentions?" Vaan replied with exaggerated sadness before saying, "I am helping you learn how to fight people above your

level!"

"Bullshit! You just want to enjoy beating me up!" Valefor furiously replied.

However, Vaan shook his head with a sigh again. Shortly after, he immediately looked at

Valefor solemnly.

"You are my trump card, Other Me. If you can't beat opponents at the same level, how can I expect you to defeat enemies above your level? You need to be like me, a First-stage Divine Warrior who can contend with Second-stage Divine Knights."

"Ptui! Don't be unreasonable, Other Me! Your bullshit strength simply doesn't make any sense at all! Do you think everyone can be like you?!" Valefor coldly spat.
