Infinite Awakening: My Exp Doubles Everyday novel Chapter 52

Chapter 52: Great Completion

Li Yao charged toward Xiang Yu, her perfect-level movement technique propelling her with breathtaking speed. Her sword arced downward in a gleaming silver blur, sunlight dancing along its edge. To her surprise, Xiang Yu blocked the strike with remarkable ease, his knife intercepting her blade with precision timing.

In the same fluid motion, he countered, his other fist shooting toward her lower abdomen—not with the hesitation that once characterized his movements, but with deadly intent. Li Yao’s eyes widened as she instinctively leaped backward. Though his fist hadn’t connected, she felt the rush of displaced air against her robes, the power behind the strike sending tremors up her sword arm through their connected blades.

"He’s broken through again," she realized, her mind quickly processing this development. The realization crystallized—if she continued holding back to her current level, she might actually find herself at a disadvantage against her formerly timid senior brother.

Within a heartbeat, Li Yao made her decision. Power surged through her meridians as she released another portion of her cultivation, activating Body Refining eighth layer. The change was immediate and dramatic. Her movements accelerated, her techniques executed with greater force and precision.

The overwhelming battle intent emanating from Xiang Yu diminished considerably against her elevated power, though she could still detect its presence faintly. Their weapons clashed with renewed vigor, each exchange creating shockwaves that rustled nearby leaves. Steel sang against steel as they pushed each other to new limits, neither yielding ground despite the escalating intensity.

Only when the sun reached its zenith did they finally pause, acknowledging it was time for their midday meal. Together they walked toward the kitchen, their breathing controlled despite the hours of exertion. Xiang Yu prepared lunch with practiced efficiency, his movements in the kitchen as precise as his bladework on the training ground. The spirit-infused meal rejuvenated them both, qi flowing through their meridians, repairing subtle fatigue and restoring depleted energy.

After eating, they returned to the training ground without delay, resuming their relentless practice. The afternoon sun traced its arc across the azure sky as they continued their dance of blades, each exchange building upon lessons from the previous. Only when dusk painted the horizon in hues of amber and gold did they pause for their evening meal.

With energies refreshed from another spirit-infused dinner, Xiang Yu exchanged his knife for his sword. The weapon gleamed in the moonlight as he settled into a different stance, his muscles adjusting to the altered balance and reach. Li Yao nodded in approval, immediately adapting her own approach to challenge this variation in his technique.

Beneath the vast canopy of stars, they continued their rigorous training, their silhouettes casting long shadows across the moonlit ground. Each strike, each parry, each footstep served to refine their skills until midnight finally signaled the end of their session. With respectful nods, they parted ways toward their separate quarters.

Alone in his simple room, Xiang Yu reclined on his bed, summoning his status interface with practiced mental focus. The familiar blue glow illuminated his features as he examined the day’s progress:
