Chapter 43: It’s my turn to suppress you
Laura calmly stated, "Really? I’d like to see!"
The next moment, the two clashed again. The explosive Qi released in their fight created a series of boom sounds, shaking the entire venue.
The old man who had been following Laura scoffed, "Though Alexander is strong, Miss is stronger. Moreover, Miss has the blessing of divine power; he can’t break her defense at all. The outcome is without doubt; he’s no match for Miss!"
The surrounding psychic masters exchanged glances. Today’s high-level combat was something they would never witness in their lifetimes.
Soon, Alexander and Laura had battled for dozens of rounds. In all these rounds, without exception, Laura was suppressing Alexander.
Her speed was too fast, and her sharp attacks were like a storm. If not for Alexander’s body being extremely tough, he would have been defeated long ago.
Time passed by every second in the venue.Soon, they had fought for fifty rounds.
Accompanied by two sword lights, two more sword marks appeared on Alexander’s clothes. His entire outer garment had been shredded by the sword.
Laura, manipulating the breeze, landed a hundred meters away. Her toes were touching the ground, her hair fluttered, floating above the ground.
She calmly looked at Alexander, her deep blue eyes devoid of any fluctuations. "The gap in our strength is vast, you’ve lost."
Even Henry couldn’t help sighing. Indeed, Alexander had lost.
Throughout the battle, he wasn’t even able to land a single attack that could break Laura’s energy shield. The difference in strength was really too obvious.
But in the next moment, they were stunned to see a slight upward curve at the corner of Alexander’s mouth.
He pulled off his tattered clothes, raised his head, and calmly looked at Laura, "Lost? I don’t think so, it’s just getting started."
At this statement, everyone present was shocked.
"No way, oh my god!"
"Isn’t this seeking death?! It’s clear to anyone with eyes that those dozens of rounds were obviously Miss Laura going easy on you!"
"If it was a real fight, you would’ve died long ago! You still don’t admit defeat?"
A flash of surprise passed through Laura’s eyes, but she nodded immediately and said, "Alright, if you don’t want to admit defeat, let’s continue." The next moment, Laura ascended with her sword, like a goddess, flying towards Alexander.
Alexander deeply looked into Laura’s eyes. At this moment, his mind kept playing all the means Laura used to attack him in those dozens of rounds. Those scenes flashed rapidly in his mind like a movie.
Everyone has their habitual way of fighting. As long as the strength gap is within an acceptable range, understanding your opponent’s fighting style can make one invincible!
And Alexander had used these fifty rounds to fully understand her entire attack mode.
He was probing, and now was the real beginning.
Then, Alexander closed his eyes, slowly assuming his stance. Her methods of attack flashed through his mind in an instant, with every nuance playing out in his mental calculations.
This ability to extrapolate was a skill Alexander had mastered over decades of business dealings. It required not only a photographic memory, but also far superior extrapolation and forecasting abilities than most people.
Just like stocks, with one glance, Alexander could predict market trends.
Through fifty rounds of combat, Alexander had not only grasped Laura’s offensive style, but also formulated his own assessment of the energy shield surrounding her body.
According to Alexander’s judgement, as long as they were in the real world, her energy shield would continuously replenish itself, and Alexander’s attacks simply couldn’t match the speed of the shield’s repair.
Given this, even if the two fought for a day and a night, Alexander would not be able to defeat Laura. Unless, they were to compete in a different space.
Upon realizing this, a smile appeared at the corner of Alexander’s mouth. Seeing this, everyone around was shocked.
"Look, he’s closed his eyes!"
"Is he admitting defeat? Or is he storing up some big move?"
Even in Laura’s eyes, a flash of surprise passed, but she quickly regained her calm.
She didn’t think Alexander could be her opponent.Because her heart was calm, her hands steady, and her sword swift.
In an instant, Laura appeared in front of Alexander. The Mindsync Sword in her hand let out a clear hum, fiercely breaking through the air and stabbing towards Alexander’s face.
But at that moment, Laura suddenly felt a bit dizzy, as though a strong sense of sleepiness had overtaken her.
"What’s going on?" Laura’s willpower was far stronger than that of most people. She resisted the sleepiness, always maintaining her standing position.
Even though she was still conscious, her mind was forcibly taken into the Dream Matching System by Alexander.
Alexander suddenly opened his eyes. His and Laura’s consciousness had now left the Psychic Association and arrived in the dream realm.
"What kind of trick is this, an illusion? But if you think you can defeat me with this little trick, that’s absolutely impossible." Laura picked up the Mindsync Sword and launched another attack on Alexander.
Her method of attack immediately overlapped with the patterns she had shown in the previous fifty rounds. No change at all!
Alexander suddenly tilted his head, and Laura’s sword blade grazed past his cheek.
A hint of surprise flashed in Laura’s eyes.
He had dodged it so easily!
In the next moment, Alexander’s hand suddenly grasped Laura’s wrist, and his other hand caught her shoulder.
With a crack, Alexander suddenly exerted force, actually dislocating her arm. Laura was in pain, the sword blade in her hand immediately slipped out, and her body was thrown away by Alexander.
As expected, Laura’s energy shield failed in the dream realm!
Laura, thrown out by Alexander, clenched her teeth and used her divine power to regain balance. She forcefully reconnected her dislocated right arm. Because of the pain, her face turned slightly pale.
She looked at Alexander gravely and said, "You can not only break through my shield, but also see through my attack methods, you are indeed not simple."
Alexander stood up and calmly said, "My many years of business experience tell me that if your methods do not change, it is a stagnant pool and sooner or later it will end. The real strong ones will not let others see through their moves, because each of their moves contains endless changes."
Alexander took his stance and looked deeply at her, saying, "And you, you are indeed very strong. Each of your moves is perfect and strictly follows a certain trajectory. If it were a performance, it would indeed be beautiful, but if it were a battle, the rigid attacks would only lead you to a dead end."
"And I, have seen through you."
Laura’s eyes imperceptibly narrowed slightly, a flash of anger in her pupils passing quickly and almost imperceptibly.
"Are you teaching me how to fight?" Laura’s voice became colder.
Alexander replied deeply, "You can understand it that way."
Laura said expressionlessly, "I have suppressed you for fifty rounds, but if I really wanted to hurt you, you wouldn’t last a round."
Alexander responded deeply, "You’ve suppressed me for fifty rounds, then for the next five hundred rounds, it’s my turn to suppress you."
