Chapter 38
The Elf Queen's Teachings
"Simple?"
"Try using a natural disaster to help you. See if it can seal off a copy of the same sequence's properties without harming you."
Gohshinam gave a soft snort.
"I just didn't say it, but that doesn't mean I'm not grateful."
Xia Er pouted and said in a low voice.
"What did you say?"
Gohshinam raised his voice and asked.
"They say you love the people like your own children."
Xia Er made a joke and turned to leave, only to find that the passage to the spirit world had been forcibly closed.
"You... what's this?"
He turned around stiffly.
"I am merely suggesting, not urging you to leave the elven lands now."
"You can continue to digest the extraordinary characteristics within you and master the power of natural disasters in advance. My seal is quite special. Every time you use the power of natural disasters, a portion of the characteristics will merge with you. Only when you truly master a portion of the power of natural disasters can you break free from me and continue to maintain the existence of the seal."
Gohshinam said in a flat tone.
"Oh, your seal is mainly based on violent suppression, which requires the power to be injected again every once in a while. Only when I have some control over natural disasters can you save some effort when helping me."
Chael translated this through the audience's analysis and the wisdom of the White Tower.
"I saw your battle with that Sea King from the Church of Storms."
"Terrible."
"You advanced too quickly from Sequence Five to Sequence Three. Storm, the Crowd, the White Tower, and a small part of something else—you didn't master these powers at all. It's as ridiculous as stabbing someone with an arrow."
Gohchinam said expressionlessly.
"I studied."
Chael raised his hands in surrender.
Which time traveler had extensive combat experience before transmigrating? Most decent people probably haven't even been in a fight many times.
Here, killing someone doesn't require paying compensation, but you're more likely to become the one who gets killed.
"Come here, I'll teach you."
Gohchinam crossed his legs and beckoned with his finger.
"Isn't this a bad idea? Shall we go somewhere else? Wouldn't it be a huge waste if we destroyed the spirit realm space you worked so hard to create?"
Xia Er shook his head. He had at least touched the threshold of natural disasters now. It was not impossible for him to break a piece of the spirit world space. It was not like he was destroying the spirit world. Opening a few openings should not be difficult.
"It's okay, I'll teach you the basics first."
Gohshinam rose from the throne and walked over step by step.
"The most basic? You want to teach me how to use extraordinary abilities? Or various practical spells?"
"I asked curiously," Xia Er asked.
"None of those. What you need to learn first is close combat."
As the Elf Queen spoke, thunder seemed to rumble in his ears, and a flash of silver light appeared before his eyes. Shael was sent flying backward again, crashing into a huge stone pillar inside the palace.
The "Elf Queen" withdrew her fair and slender legs. She shook her head as she looked at Xia Er, who had rolled twice on the ground. Her figure was as fast as lightning. In one step, she walked to Xia Er's side and kicked her again.
"Wait a minute!"
Shael grabbed the Elf Queen's ankle, the force so strong it made her wrist go numb. She looked up at Goshinam with displeasure and said:
"Can't you just summon an elemental avatar to beat me up? I don't want to fight you fist to fist; it feels awkward and disgusting!"
"Where should I hit you? Your face? Your chest? Your stomach? I can only hit your shoulder, that's not fair!"
Xia Er really didn't want to fight with a woman like this. He didn't care about using weapons or skills, but punching and kicking was something he was very uncomfortable doing to someone he knew.
Before he transmigrated, he was just an ordinary person who didn't smoke, drink, or fight. He really wasn't used to this kind of life!
He doesn't want to fight!
He only knows how to kill!
"I'm fighting you, not playing house! You can't just attack me wherever you want!"
"Why didn't you say you weren't used to it when you were fighting that Aquaman? You didn't want to hit women? You care about these things?"
"No, judging from your expression, you don't want to act like you're throwing a tantrum with a woman you know? You feel that would be beneath you?"
"With your performance, I'm a little hesitant to let you out, lest you die without even knowing how."
Goshinam felt that Chael simply did not understand the bloodshed and cruelty of this world.
She watched as Xia Er hesitated, instinctively loosening his ankle, and without hesitation, she kicked him away.
"What kind of era do you come from?"
"Why do you have so many unnecessary worries? You even pulled your hand back after just touching my foot. What are you afraid of? If you weren't a naturally extraordinary being, I really doubt how you would survive in this world."
"He doesn't act like a man at all."
Goshinam frowned. She adhered to a cold, survival-first worldview and couldn't understand Xia'er's struggles arising from gender differences.
The ancient wars depicted on the surrounding elven murals seem to emphasize what kind of world this is.
Sizzle! Sizzle!
Surrounded by silvery electricity, Xia'er was annoyed by Goshinam's clean and decisive attack. "Kick me if you want," she thought.
This is already the second surprise attack. Do you think you're the only one who can pull off a surprise attack?
He charged toward Gohchinam, surrounded by lightning.
The air in the elven palace became thick and heavy, and an invisible wind bound the elven queen like shackles.
Goshinam watched as the elf's hair stood on end, seemingly provoked. She stood still, her eyebrows slightly raised, anticipating Xia'er's performance.
boom! boom! boom!
Goshinam was tackled by Shael, and the two rolled twice on the ground. The lightning bolts swirling around Goshinam's fingertips were like steel needles that dismantled Shael's defenses and would soon seep into her flesh. She looked at Shael's raised fist as if waiting for something.
The electric snakes tore at flesh and blood, and the pain once again made instinct take over. She didn't hold back, and he shouldn't either. When it came to controlling lightning, Xia'er was far from being a match for Goshinam, but when it came to basic strength, the difference wasn't that terrifying.
His palm was covered with scales, and he threw a punch, aiming for the most suitable target: the Elf Queen's head.
Goshinam watched as the electricity accumulating on her fist drew ever closer. Her gaze remained unwavering, and with a slight flick of her fingers, the seal on the Cataclysmic ability was partially released. Shael's emotions were affected by the ability, and low-frequency thunder rumbled from her chest, making her even more brutal.
Boom!
Shael punched the Elf Queen's delicate and beautiful face, the fist landing on the ground not far away, instantly creating a deep crater, with streaks of silver lightning hissing angrily.
Shael's long hair, which stood up as if stimulated by the electric current, seemed to have lost control and fell down in a mess, covering his face. His expression was somewhat ferocious, but his overall demeanor was somewhat bewildered.
What am I doing?
This isn't fun...
Hit her? Why?
Xia'er felt a little uncomfortable. It seemed like they were simulating a fight. He shouldn't be coy; he should just fight directly. Should he just not use his fists? Would it be better to kick instead?
But it's meaningless.
Can I find a different opponent?
Wait, what am I doing?
This seems pointless...
Wouldn't it be easier to kill her than to beat her up?
He's just not used to using his fists; he could destroy a small town with a lightning storm without flinching, regardless of whether the inhabitants are men, women, old, or young...
Xia Ran, who had hardly ever been in a fight, caused trouble, or skipped school since childhood, had slightly trembling hands.
How should he hit her in a better way?
"It's really interesting. You don't show the same respect and awe for your status as the Elf Queen as other elves do. You also don't show any fear or reverence for the former Sun God, now the Six Gods."
"When facing enemies, you can be even more insane than the aliens. When you first met me, you weren't afraid, you weren't afraid of real angels. Why is it that now, just because you're a little more familiar with me, you're so worried about this and that? When you subconsciously wanted to create an electric ball to blow me up just now, you weren't as conflicted as you are now when you're swinging your fist."
Goshinam "read" the inner thoughts displayed by Shael, his fingertips lightly brushing across the back of Shael's tense hand. Watching Shael dejectedly try to get up, he suddenly smiled:
"Why are you in such a hurry?"
"Don't you want to ride a little longer?"
Clang!
A seemingly casual remark struck like a thunderbolt.
Xia'er froze as she propped herself up, looking completely dumbfounded. Her mind went blank, and her pointed ears, not covered by her long hair, quickly turned bright red, while her face turned deathly pale.
He was as if he were dead, stiff as a corpse.
