Chapter 753: Chapter 772: Forum Snippets [Love Affects the Speed of Your Punches]
Huo Jia first stole the pictures the original poster had posted from Huo Deng, then meticulously explained why he and Jiang Qiuqiu were interacting.
—Their interactions began with a sparring match.
He was looking for a skilled opponent.
He watched her to see if Jiang Qiuqiu had recovered.
When they were seen standing together, they were almost always having a discussion.
The topics of discussion included, but were not limited to:
1. How to dodge when being attacked.
2. How to make your hits hurt more.
3. Where to strike a Mecha to cause more severe Spirit Sea shock.
4. Because Student Jiang was injured after our PK, I waited by the recovery pod for her to heal.
His words were calm, and everything he said was logical and well-supported.
After finishing his explanation, he very directly questioned the OP. "What supports your speculation? What makes you think you can come to a public forum with your assumptions and casually pass judgment on others? Why did you take these pictures without my or Student Jiang’s consent?"
"Finally, what are you implying? Are you implying it’s wrong for Student Jiang to train with me even though she has a boyfriend?"
Huo Jia’s reply was so incisive that the OP had no choice but to reappear and respond, "No, I’m sorry, I didn’t think it through..."
[No, you’re the one who overthought it the most.]
[...]
Soon after Huo Jia’s reply, a video appeared in the thread.
[To be honest, I wasn’t going to post this, because it’s a candid video, I guess? I just recorded it to study their techniques. I spend a lot of time in the Virtual Machine Room, so I see Huo Jia and Student Jiang often. They’re regulars. Just like the OP said, they do train together and hang out all the time.]
[But the reality is completely different from what the pictures suggest. I’m posting the video so everyone can analyze it for themselves—coincidentally, the event in the sixth picture happened right after I finished recording this. I won’t say more. The silver and blue Mecha on the left is Student Jiang’s, and the black and red one on the right is Huo Jia’s.]
The video was a bit long.
The onlookers were all curious. Who doesn’t love a bit of drama?
A video!
’But why did they say they recorded it to study... Ah, how strange.’
The gossip-hungry crowd, still feeling puzzled, opened the video and quickly understood why someone would record it to study.
Because—
BANG.
BANG.
BANG.
The silver-blue Mecha was executing some incredibly slick maneuvers.
But the fancy footwork was useless, because the black-and-red Mecha opposite it was just as agile.
It flashed over in an instant, drew its Mecha longsword, and hacked at the silver-blue Mecha. It was a real blow, with no mercy held back. The silver-blue Mecha was sent flying to the edge of the combat platform, only stopping when it slammed into the barrier.
The Mecha trembled. ’That pilot’s Spirit Sea must be on the verge of shattering.’
But the silver-blue Mecha got back up and charged at the black-and-red one. The black-and-red Mecha charged forward as well, then retracted its sword and threw a punch.
Qiuqiu dodged it, but Huo Jia followed up with a combination of punches.
S-level technique, unleashing the ultimate power of a Light Armor Mecha!
The silver-blue Mecha was slammed to the ground. She was still struggling, trying to fight for some breathing room with her fists and legs.
However, the black-and-red Mecha gave her no such opportunity.
A single, decisive blow.
...
A spectacular battle.
Both the black-and-red Mecha and the silver-blue Mecha had their own unique styles, and their movements were superb. The silver-blue Mecha’s sword work and the black-and-red’s boxing techniques, in particular, were definitely worth studying for new students.
But—
’Wait, one of them is Jiang Qiuqiu, and the other is Huo Jia?’
[After the fight, the two of them must have logged out of their pods. I saw Qiuqiu almost collapse to her knees as she climbed out of the virtual pod that day. She had no choice but to go to a recovery pod to heal.]
[Mr. Huo probably felt guilty for being too rough, so he waited nearby.]
[...?]
[A sweet... a sweet moment?]
[For some reason, my heart is shattered.]
[I truly believe Mr. Huo has absolutely no feelings for Qiuqiu. For real.]
[Love affects the speed of your punches. Clearly, neither of these two has been affected. Verdict: No love detected!]
