Chapter 259 Siege
The weight of the golden cudgel slowed down Huiyuan's movements.
It was this slower movement that allowed Marta to catch up with Hunyuan's speed.
Although Huiyuan has extremely high mental strength and thinks very fast, she can only think before she acts, and can only just keep up with Marta's subconscious actions.
For various reasons, Hunyuan's overall speed has reached the same level as Marta's.
What does this feel like?
Even though everything in front of me is moving as slowly as a snail, my body just can't keep up with the speed of my thoughts.
The thought process in one's mind has gone through dozens of steps, but the actual action has only taken one step.
Seeing this, Huiyuan stopped delaying and switched from his original body to Lingling's body, enhancing his strength and speed attributes.
"There's one minute left. Let's decide the winner in this minute."
After saying that, Huiyuan showed a serious expression.
How can I be inferior to my younger sister? As the older brother, I must be assertive and not give in an inch!
Although there's no talk of chickens these days, even an older brother has his pride!
(Calm down and focus your mind...)
Gradually, Huiyuan closed her eyes, released a slight breeze, and focused her attention on her ears.
Having lowered his defensive stance, Huiyuan spread his hands, making a "bring it on" gesture.
Seeing this, Marta didn't hold back and used her internal energy to increase her speed.
"Martha, try to concentrate all your energy in your limbs."
Upon hearing Master Liuyun's voice, Marta did as instructed, shifting the energy that had been focused on her heart.
"Yes, master."
Huiyuan and Marta faced off, one using his ears to "see," and the other using muscle memory to "see."
Gradually, the air quieted down.
After someone suddenly sneezed, Marta instantly vanished from her spot, transforming into countless clones that attacked Huiyuan from all directions.
Huiyuan stood still, swinging his stick to block the attacks that came one after another.
The sound of weapons clashing was deafening, making one's hands go numb just listening to it.
It appears that Huiyuan is standing still, at a disadvantage, and constantly on the defensive.
In reality, it was a one-sided crushing victory for Hunyuan; Marta's attacks couldn't even get an inch closer.
Gradually, Marta began to sweat, and she started to feel anxious.
(What's going on... Why can't I get close even though I used more force than before? Brother... what...?)
Marta continued to unleash frequent and intense attacks, but her arms gradually became fatigued, and her speed slowed down.
In contrast, Huiyuan's aura was steady, and despite wielding a heavy golden cudgel, he appeared to be exerting himself without any strain.
It turns out that the vibration in Martha's sword was caused by the difference in weight and hardness of the weapon.
The high-frequency vibrations made it impossible for her to hold the sword steady, and she struggled more and more.
In addition, the difference in endurance attributes led to a situation where the gap in strength between the two became more and more obvious as they fought.
"Countdown to the match... 5, 4, 3, 2, 1..."
Just as Liu Yun Zhenjun uttered the last second, Huiyuan lengthened his golden cudgel and knocked the sword out of Marta's hand.
Huiyuan didn't use any force; he just gently hooked the sword, and the constantly vibrating sword flew towards the ceiling like a runaway horse.
"The match is over, both sides have stopped fighting. The result is... Huiyuan is the winner."
Upon hearing the announcement from True Lord Liuyun, Huiyuan opened his eyes and retracted his golden cudgel.
"Well, it seems like physics has won."
"Brother, was that move you just used a counterattack from our previous sparring session?"
Hehe, guess~
Huiyuan and Marta had sparred once, but because Huiyuan was not good at swordsmanship, her sword was knocked away by her opponent even though she was holding back.
This time, the tables turned, and Huiyuan knocked Marta's sword away.
Seeing this result, Marta stopped keeping a straight face and secretly smiled, wagging her tail.
"Hmph... So you have this cunning side, brother. I lost, but it's not unexpected... I'll win next time."
"Are you going to make such a boast now? Then bring it on."
Just then, True Lord Liuyun smiled and clapped.
“Interesting, interesting... I thought Marta would be technically superior, but after just one day of training, your martial arts have undergone a complete transformation.”
"After all, I'm the older brother, and more importantly, their savior. I can't fall behind, can I?"
"Hmph, Huiyuan, what I taught them wasn't just individual combat, but also teamwork. As their older brother, you can't just bully one of your younger sisters, can you?"
Hearing the tone of True Lord Liuyun, Huiyuan felt a chill in her heart and realized something.
(Is this because his apprentice can't compare to me, and he's gotten angry because of that? Oh well... it's really not very ethical to bully my younger sister one-on-one.)
"It seems that True Lord Liuyun is angry and thinks I'm bullying him? In that case... all eight of you, come at me together."
"Wait, I'm not angry, and it's not this that I'm dissatisfied with. I've always prided myself on my mechanical skills, yet you defeated my [Will-Controlling Sword] with just a stick that can extend. Hmph...absurd."
As he spoke, Liu Yun casually reached out and retrieved the sword that was stuck in the ceiling.
When Huiyuan heard the name of the sword, he suddenly realized what it was.
"So that's why Martha had the sword on her shoulder and it didn't fly off with the inertia. It turns out it's the function of your sword."
Without waiting for Huiyuan to continue analyzing the sword's function, True Monarch Liuyun gestured with his fingers in the air and cast a spell to send various immortal artifacts into the hands of the cats.
These magical artifacts were all designed by Toller, a female cat who also loves inventing, and the ones Liu Yun took out were all improvements based on her designs.
The variety of weapons is dazzling, all custom-made and made of sturdy materials.
Upon seeing this, Huiyuan broke out in a cold sweat.
The cats formed a well-trained formation centered around their strongest fighter, Martha.
As the team leader, the male cat [Sori] was fully armed, holding a shield and staring intently at Huiyuan.
Standing next to Sori was a 10-year-old cat girl named Maria. She had no equipment on her body, but she was surrounded by ki, and it was obvious that she was very tough.
The female cat, Toller, who designed these weapons, stood behind the group holding a repeating crossbow.
Also in the back row, responsible for ranged attacks, is the 7-year-old male cat [Inhart], though he seems to use magic attacks.
Standing in the middle, responsible for medical care and providing body-enhancing drugs, are the male cat [Vison] and the female cat [Hannah].
Lina, the cat that Huiyuan is most familiar with and the only cat whose parents are by her side, is standing with Marta, holding a pistol.
