Chapter 174: Ksenia Cleans Up House II
Just before her combo began, the Imperial player tried to strike back with Luminous Fist. Ksenia’s eyes shimmered as she instinctively activated Counterflow Stance, avoiding the holy punch and bashing her opponent against the outside wall of the throne room. Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam! All five hits connected and her opponent’s HP went down to the red zone.
The final kick to the stomach left behind crackles of electricity. Ksenia didn’t have qualms about killing and was willing to finish him off. However, the player whom she had previously uppercutted returned and tried to throw her like her previous opponent.
Once again, it worked. She hit the ground, her back feeling like it was about to crack in two. She saw a flame-powered punch coming in but this time had the foresight to roll over and dodge it. She leaped to her feet and activated Lightning Strike Fist in both hands without incantations. Her opponent charged at her and vice-versa.
They exchanged a barrage of punches, but at the end of the day, Ksenia was faster and more clinical. While her opponent landed two hits, she landed seven. Moreover, they were coated in lightning and thus slammed into her stronger male opponent with a bigger oomph.
Bam!
Her lightning-encased fist stayed in his stomach and the Imperial martial artist coughed up blood. He attempted to lift his arms. Ksenia whipped out her left fist and knocked him out.
"Nghhh...." He was alive. Ksenia stared down at him. She didn’t mind killing but she wasn’t a mindless murderer like John either. If possible, she wanted to avoid bloodshed. If her enemy gave her no choice, then so be it. Let death come.
The door was directly in front of her and Nikolai, who was in her view, was doing fine. Ksenia peered over her shoulder and moved on to her next target.
The Intermediate Martial Artist Class was locked behind two specific yet separate conditions: one, to gain an attack value of two hundred with the Amateur Martial Artist Class equipped; two, to learn two Intermediate skills in advance. Ksenia with the help of her guild was able to do the latter. More importantly, the path of the Mixed Martial Artist Class emphasized on raw skill, hence why the Class Skills remained largely the same even through evolution into the Intermediate Martial Artist.
