Continued battles

Although she did not know about Chinjao's deeply hidden intentions, she could only go on and fight opponent by opponent whether it be people using various animal styles ranging from the crane style, tortoise style, serpent style and even monkey style to various sword, staff or even altar users ranging from various local martial artists and also some who seemed to be heavily trained in warfare and assassination.

While some fights ended with a knockout blow or a ring out for the opponents that had took the fight seriously, she began to encounter many who would not rest until they had killed her to prevent Chinjao from gaining another talented person among his ranks.

In response to their desperate attempts to strike her vital areas, she responded in the same way and began to hone her killing moves from her White Leg Style.

Sometimes she would use her opponents body to step or jump up like the fight with the old man and other opponents she would adjust some moves to get close enough to land a deadly knee strike to her opponents face while her hands held onto the back of their head.

Although her style did not include upper body martial arts, it still had various uses for her hands for various forms whether it be grabbing her opponent, guarding her upper body, vaulting over an opponent or object simply or kicking from a handstand position.

Sometimes she executed some grappling moves to provide some versatility and also included a scissor kick grappling move with her legs to bring her opponent to the ground and follow up with a heel kick from a sitting position towards their head or throat.

Other times she would cartwheel or use her arms to spring her body to kick upward to her opponents neck, shoulder, temple or chin and she would include various high jumps that followed with one to three kicks ranging from crescent, roundhouse, front and hook kicks aimed at their stomach, ribs, chin, temple and neck.

Whenever she was too close, she would use her tail to attack their lower body while preparing for another kick upon rotating, some push kicks were used to keep the distance but she had focussed on learning her style of combat thoroughly even if she had been put on the defensive by an enemies skills, she could use her tail, legs, knees and hips to attack her opponent up close and gain enough room to create enough of a range for her next kick to land upon them.

Alyssia was still standing on the platform after dealing another deadly attack on her opponent and looked down at the dead body.

She sighed upon seeing yet another opponent who had been desperate to kill her and then looked towards the audience who were cheering and said quietly. "That would be more than ten who have been after my life. This is not normal…"

She looked towards the stands where her previous opponents had come from and the people they were connected to and saw that various groups had began to collude together.

Previously many had been separate groups but upon seeing that she was tough to deal with they began to come together to find a solution.

The muscles and bones in her lower body were far too strong after many years of training but she also benefitted greatly from not only her talents but also her racial advantage which provided her with a very tough leg bones and muscles, with many years of training and honing her body, she was able to have a larger reach and the ability to kick quickly with her legs that was much better than ordinary humans but still slightly inferior to the long leg tribe who had a much longer reach.

After eating the Sea King meat and improving the various daily meals and her training difficulty she also found herself improving at a faster speed compared to what she had experienced previously, so much so that she noticed her body was beginning to mature and grow taller much more quickly than before.

Perhaps it was that she was eating more and training more that she began to take on this change but also the more nutritious food that brought on this change but it was beneficial to her so she was not going to complain about it.

During her youth her training was not so heavy but as she was growing she increased her training until she had reached her current age of sixteen where her body should have matured enough to undergo more stressful training.

After leaving Zou and purchasing many heavy weights and training tools of different types, she had noticed that her stats had grown by another point or two which showed that she must of been on the verge of increasing her stat levels but also her growth speed had improved with the various factors that taken place to produce these results.

When she left Zou, she was somewhere between five and six foot tall or at least last the mid levels but she suddenly began to feel that with this change of routine, she may even grow past what her system character creation had stated as her height after reaching full body maturity around the age of eighteen or nineteen.

Although she estimated that the likes of Smoothie who was a half human and half long leg tribe and also had Big Mom as her human side, Alyssia may not become as tall as her but at least may stop around the height of or a little taller than the taller women characters like Kalifa and Nico Robin who were more than six foot tall if she sticks to this heavy training routine.

Combining her natural superiority, her training, her new style of combat but also her natural instincts, she was able to adapt to this new environment very quickly and sharpen herself through these life and death battles.

However she did not have much time to dwell on these changes taking place on her body that had not been planned, the plots of those in the audience or the fact that she had already killed many opponents.

She had to stay focussed and best control her breathing and conserve her strength, a couple of her opponents had previously tried to insult her in various ways but they were too obvious in their attempts so she was able to avoid any injury from them and not carry on any injuries from previous fights too.

Her biggest drawback was her stamina but since she did not always have to go all out in her fights, she was able to conserve some of her strength for battles where she really needed to display some of it.

Some of the fighters either had a superior physique compared to other humans, very high skills or had a high mastery using their weapons so even when conserving her strength she was able to increase the efficiency of every one of her movements and reduce the energy expended in every fight which was also beneficial for her.

Many people tend to keep fighting head on and eventually tire out afterwards but in a chaotic world, dropping ones guard would prove to be fatal so she kept her guard raised and kept reducing the energy used with every minute movement of her muscles, tendons and bones while controlling her breathing.

Yet another opponent appeared on the platform and began to perform many deadly and fast kicks in a rapid succession ranging from one leg combo kicks, jumping double footed combo kicks, spinning roundhouse kicks into a hook kick and then into a crescent kick and other similar combinations.

However she continued to match his every movement and then broke through his kick knocking him out. 'Yet another opponent down but this guy reminds me of someone.. did they say he was a martial artist of the thunder leg style? Sounds and looks similar to something I have seen in a movie before but cannot quite remember what it was from... How interesting.'

After defeating him, she fought a tiger fist martial artist who had a fierce barrage of deadly punches aimed to kill her and that would not leave her room to counter or retreat so she was forced to match his moves and broke through with a jumping kick targeted at his temple killing him within that one kick.

The cheers began to grow louder but she did not let it affect her as she waited for the next opponent.
