Chapter 6 - Fight Club

Three years later, outside of Red Mountain Academy.

A girl with silver hair was surrounded by a group of boys.

"Na'er, today is the day you will pay." Yelled the boy as he charges at Na'er, who already sensed his movement behind her. Na'er sidestep the boy before then throwing a jab at his stomach, chin and finally his face.

The boy wasn't able to react in time as he keels over from her attack. Knowing she shouldn't stay still when surrounded, Na'er quickly moves on to her next opponent and began charging at them.

The boy was ready for her, as he raises his guard to delay. Allowing the rest to close the gap between him and her.

Na'er, already predicting this tactic rapidly struck his guard to break it. The boy didn't know that Na'er punches could dent a boulder, let alone a normal spirit scholar arm.

Allowing her to break his guard after 10 hits and knock him out with the next fist. Na'er senses the boy behind her threw up her guard before he slams his fist into her. She was sent flying into the air but was able to flip around in air and land safely.

The boy snort, knowing they couldn't keep this up and had to change their tactics.

"I refuse to lose. Let's go all out, guys."

The rest of the boys surrounding her activate their martial soul. The boy who sent Na'Er flying had a rock martial soul that seems to cover his whole body.

Another boy had a rope martial soul that allowed him to bind a person. He directed towards Na'er who was busy looking out for the rock martial soul boy next attack.

Na'er senses the rope that was coming towards her, so shes dodges out of the way. But she then saw the rope looping around and spedding off towards her again.

This caused her to twist her body as the rope went past her and then she flips back to evade the rope once more.

After she had landed, she started using her agility and footwork to evade the rope binding. Through this method, she was quickly closing the gap between her and the rope soul master.

He panics as he tries to back up but how could Na'er give him the chance? She slides down on the ground to scope up some stone and then began hurling them at the boy.

The boy wasn't able to react in time and became stunned from the stones hitting him in the face. Allowing Na'er to quickly finish him off with her fists.

Looking around she took down two guys, with only two more left.

The other boy who had a turtle martial soul charge at Na'Er. He was confident in his martial soul skill "Hard Shell" which was able to create a turtle shell with spikes on it.

He plans to suppress Na'Er, with his spikes believing she wouldn't attack recklessly. This would keep all her attention on him, while his brother circles behind them and attack her from behind.

Na'Er didn't know his plan but wouldn't care in the slightest if she knew. Na'er did the unthinkable and charge straight at the spike shield, hammering down.

'Isn't this girl too fierce.'

How could the boy know that for the past three years, Na'Er has been conditioning her body to be able to break rocks and stone? Her hand has become broken and bloody too much to count, she didn't even bat her eyes as she started bleeding from the spikes.

Not being able to keep up with Na'Er recklessness, he reacted too late as she broke through his shield and slams her fist into his face knocking him out.

She then turns towards to the rock boy who growls and then pounces at her using his martial skill "Rock Armor" which turned his body as hard as a rock. This allowed him to overwhelm Na'Er and only her experience allows her to deflect the lethal blows.

The boy seeing a moment of weakness on her struck sending Na'Er flying and watch as she rolled before stopping.

"Hahaha!Give up, your only trash with no martial soul but you dare to challenge me a person who already a rank eight spirit scholar ." Said the rock boy.

Na'Er coughs up some blood, before wiping her mouth and glaring at the spirit scholar. Rush at him while observing attentively all of his movements.

' Listen up, some opponents will outclass you in abilities and sometimes your experience won't be able to overcome that.'

'Which is why you have used to rely on techniques to overcome that.'

Na'Er threw multiple jobs as she got close to the rock boy, who only sneered and took the hits while mocking her.

"Hahahaha, that is not going to work. My martial skill makes my body as hard as a boulder." Said the boy but Na'er only ignored the boy.

Na'er kept on wailing on the boy who was openly laughing as the girl was destroying her fist on him.

' No skill is invincible even for the most capable people. Sometimes their greatest weakness is the simplest answer.'

Na'er knew that a spirit scholar only had a small amount of spirit power and deduce that the boy rock armor needed a lot of spirit power to fuel the technique.

The boy notices too late his rock armor was starting to break, begin to panic as he tried getting some space from her.

'Always remember to follow up on your attacks, so you don't lose the advantage.'

How could Na'Er allow him, she sped up close to him. The boy seeing her coming close to him threw a fist aim at her face.

Na'Er leans her head to the side pressing her shoulder on the boy's c_h_e_s_t and then uses her front leg to trip him. The boy couldn't catch himself, and he ended up falling down.

Na'Er continues her attacks on the boy, as she saw more of his rock armor being peeled off. Then quickly backing off as she senses the boy arm closing to capture her.

The boy got up with a wave of anger and then charge at her, throwing a dozen fists all aim with his rage. Na'Er dodges each strike with an indifferent face and when the boy stops she moved in for her attack.

The boy inwardly smirks, as he knew she fell into his trap already remembering the way she fights. At present knowing, she likes to start off her attack with a punch.

'Come on, I will grab your punch and then pummel you to death.'

Sneered the boy as he waits but his face turns into shock as rather than a punch, it was a kick.

'Don't be so predictable with your attacks that your opponent can read them, change it up.'

'Kick, Knee, Punch, Punch, Elbow, Kick and Punch, Elbow, Kick.'

The boy face change when he saw the girl attacking him in a different manner and being unable to keep up started to get overwhelmed.

Bang! Bang!

Na'er was alternating between punches, kicks, elbow strikes, quick jabs and etc. It was too many patterns for the boy to keep up with. The boy tried for a final struggle, aim a fist at the girl's face and thinking it connected he smiled but his face turns from triumph into shock.

How could he have known that Na'er allowed the fist to get near her, so she could grab is the outstretched arm to flip him.

The boy landed hard on the floor with Na'er moving her legs around his throat with his arm being stretched out. As she put him in a hold and while her legs tightening around his throat.

The boy tried struggling out, but Na'er didn't let go, even with her back being scr_a_p_ed and damage on the rough ground.

'This girl, who is just trash with no martial soul! How could she beat us!'

The boy was unwilling to accept the reality as he passes out being beaten by a girl with no martial soul. Na'er got up and look around to see all the boys defeated with her bleeding all over but standing like a Goddess of War with her eyes shining.

Na'er blinks and turns around to her big brother who has to 1.4 in height walking towards with his as if he expected her to win. She turned from the War Goddess she was into a shy girl as she saw her brother wiping off the blood from her face.

"Well, I would say I am proud, but I already expected this." Tang Wulin comments as he had absolute confidence in Na'er ability to beat all these boys. He then grabs her hand and they begin walking home.

Na'er couldn't help but sigh as her brother has been the one making her fight all these people. All because she needed gaining experience fighting a variety of people.

Most people wouldn't normally want to fight a pretty girl like her but ever since at the Awakening Ceremony. It was found out she didn't have a martial soul. This caused some of the kids to feel the need to show Na'er her place.

Tang Wulin thinking this was a great opportunity, uses their disdain and sneer as an excuse to have her fight most of the spirit scholar in the school.

At first, she kept on losing because she kept on panic and they prove to be too much after they use their martial soul. Which caused her brother to simply raise the intensity and time of the hell train every time she lost. It was through the motivation that losing meant death that she was able to overcome and fully dominate them.

It has been two years since she ever lost to anyone but her brother, who is still an untouchable mountain in terms of fighting techniques and experience. Hell, the delinquents and gangs he has her fighting, couldn't hold a candle to him.

"Big Bro, I want a lollipop." Na'er looks at her brother with big innocent eyes.

"Alright, I will buy you one before dropping you off and then going to the workshop." Said Tang Wulin as he was impressed with Na'er progress.

He hasn't gotten his spirit beast yet because of the constant increase of food he needs to take in. So he uses some of the money he earns from the blacksmith shop to keep the family from going broke.

The training with Na'er has been showing some amazing results as she went from a beginner to an expert fighter. He wonders if this how those lizards felt when teaching a human or how he felt when he thought him. Not like he really remembers his dragon name or why it even taught him.

'I think its time she gets move up to the next level.' Thought Tang Wulin in delight.

If Na'er heard this she would have most likely run away from home and far away from her brother. Na'er shivers, feeling as if her death was close but there was no sign of danger.

In the past years, Tang was to make progress on his dragon slayer abilities. Finding out that his nullification works on spirit master but only those who are than him.

He found that out when they did mock-battle in class and none of the kids were able to hurt him with their Martial Soul attacks. it took a while before they realize they had to rely on their physical strength to fight back.

He was able to regain some of his basic dragon slayer skills but for some unknown reason, he wasn't able to tap into his stronger ones.

He wonders if his dragon slayer skills are connected with spirit power and because of it being weaker, he is being blocked from the stronger skills. It would make sense considering his belief that spirit power equal magic power here.

Dropping off Na'er at the house and telling her to start the training for the day after she bandages herself up. He begins his journey to the workshop thinking about the type of martial soul he is going to get.
