Back to Basics

"Ack!"

"K-keep trying, Sir Ryker! You can do it!"

"Oof!"

"More training.... in qi circulation... necessary..."

"Argh!"

"... Are you really taking this seriously?"

Hu Long crossed his arms, raising his brow as Ryker was once again sent out of the makeshift ring after their latest spar. Cui Feng, who'd been cheering Ryker on, could only cringe as Ryker crashed into a nearby pillar, while Caelus was busy tapping away at his holoscreen, taking notes.

After Caelus had given him a Rejuvenation Pill, Hu Long and Ryker started their spars in earnest, with Ryker restraining himself to the Qi Gathering realm and both of them circulating the Mana Body Refining Technique.

Ryker also limited his mana utilization to only maintaining his body refining, making him just about equal in strength to Hu Long.

"Haha, c'mon, don't you think you're just a little too good?"
