Infinite Awakening: My Exp Doubles Everyday novel Chapter 49

Chapter 49: Finally Learnt

Xiang Yu twisted away from a devastating blow that cratered the ground where he’d stood moments before. His mouth twitched as he wondered if his junior sister really had it out for him. There was no time to dwell on the thought as another attack came whistling toward him. He rolled across the ground and immediately sprang away as her blade struck where he’d just been.

His enhanced battle awareness, while impressive, seemed only sufficient for desperate evasion against Li Yao’s perfected sword technique. The sheer pressure of her attacks generated what felt like a fear effect—had it not been for his spiritual sea helping him overcome the mental barrier, he might have frozen in place completely.

Despite the overwhelming odds, Xiang Yu found satisfaction in his improvement. From his assessment, his battle instinct had nearly caught up to his junior sister’s level. After one more doubling, the difference would be like an adult competing against a child. Yet this didn’t mean victory was within reach. Li Yao was essentially a kid wielding a gun while he remained unarmed. Though he could pressure her now, it was only because she deliberately held back her true strength. If she unleashed her full power, he wouldn’t stand a chance—at least not yet.

Across the training ground, Li Yao observed her senior brother dodging another precisely aimed strike. She marveled at how much he’d grown, considering she was currently using the strength of a Body Refining sixth layer cultivator combined with a perfect-level sword technique, yet couldn’t land a clean hit. He seemed to have adapted to her current level.

With a contemplative sigh, she decided to escalate further. Without warning, she released more of her true power, elevating to the strength of a Body Refining seventh layer cultivator.

As she charged toward Xiang Yu, her footwork suddenly accelerated, and she materialized before him in a blur of movement. He barely managed to block the attack, raising his knife and bracing it with his free hand. His feet dug into the ground as he absorbed the tremendous force.

Recognizing the sudden increase in pressure, Xiang Yu made a split-second tactical decision. Instead of maintaining the block against her overwhelming strength, he deliberately released the tension, allowing her attack to flow toward him while he rolled to safety. Her sword plunged deep into the earth where he’d stood.

Seizing the momentary opportunity, Xiang Yu sprang up and placed his knife against her exposed neck. "I win this time," he declared with uncharacteristic smugness.

Li Yao rose slowly, retrieving her sword with casual grace. "Is that so?" she replied with dangerous calm. "Let’s try again."

The air around them seemed to shift, becoming charged with an entirely different energy. Before Xiang Yu could process what was happening, Li Yao stood directly before him.

"A movement technique?" he exclaimed in shock.

His realization came too late as her fist connected squarely with his abdomen, sending him flying several meters backward. Before he could regain his footing, she had already closed the distance, her sword poised at the ready, its gleaming edge promising no further mercy.
