"HACKS! I CALL HACKS! This is bullshit!"
"What do you mean brat? I am just fighting you with martial arts, we both can't use mana in here anyway." Serafina moved towards him and blew fire from her mouth. Wukong squinted his eyes before stopping in his tracks and raising his right leg upwards, hitting the ground and dispersing the fire sideways only to find her coming at him with a punch.
Wukong bent his head, avoiding the hit to his head, and grabbed her arm with both of his and slammed his head on her but rather than inflicting damage on her, he was the one who felt dizzy.
"Huh? This goddang dragon!"
"heh. Who told you to try and compete with my body little monkey? While you might outgrow me in the future, you're still a lot short of getting into my league."
Not even showing a single bit of hesitation, Serafina grabbed his neck with a single hand. "Already tired brat? Just surrender, I might spare you and let you train for a few hundred years."
Wukong scoffed at her and hit the joint on her hand with his elbow, making her let go of him. He coughed twice and took a few breaths while Serafina just stood there, watching him. 'Too much difference in skill. And her body is still stronger than mine while being limited to the same level. No matter how much I use my brain, it would end in my loss.'
"Bitch Drago- I mean great Dragon, do you mind giving me a few days to train? Pleaseeeeeeee? I am willing to give you anything you want, even if it's my body." Wukong made a shy expression while hiding his face with both hands.
"Who'd wanna do you brat? Fuck off and train for how many days you want. There isn't a time limit anyways and I want to see just how much can you grow."
"HAHA I can see you are trying your best to suppress your desires for me Serafina, but it's fine. That is the fate of those who are born with charm and charisma comparable to mine, though I don't think there might be anyone. Let's just say I'm being humble." Wukong waved his hand while showing a proud smile and sat down a few meters away from her. Serafina just stood on her spot with her eyebrows twitching, listening to some a shameless monkey.
'Now then, the best option would be to train my skills and body to the level where I can execute my movements without wasting a single drop of energy. While it's still good, it's not perfect yet. That shouldn't take too long considering the insights I got from fighting her. Feeling the sensation of battling yourself is on another level than just watching it.' *deep breath* Wukong continued breathing in a constant state, stopping every needless muscle to stop its movement and only focused on using those, required for respiration. 'I already have a balance, it might not be comparable to peak Dan Mori, but it's good enough for now. I can do recoilless much better than before, just need to cross the threshold to the next stage and then it should be perfect.'
In his previous life, Wukong thought a lot about meditation and its uses. Most people used it as something to relax and focus their senses, but during his high school years, he had an idea. He tried to classify meditation into different stages. One, Being completely one with your own body, required you to feel everything going on in your own body, like the flowing of blood carrying various different cells and feeling those cells themselves. Second, being one with your surroundings in a limited area, in this state, you would be able to feel everything in a limited area around you. Third, being one with the planet, like it signifies, you would be able to know everything from the topmost layer of the atmosphere and down to the molten core inside the center of the earth. And the fourth major stage, being one with the whole universe. Between the third and fourth stages, there are minor stages too as the level of depth increases exponentially.
While this just stayed as an idea in his normal world, he had infinite possibilities in this one. Wukong subconsciously completed stage one as he aligned his breaths with his body. He stood up with his eyes still closed and the constant breathing still going on and started to do the martial arts he got from Mori Jin's memories.
Serafina kept watching him and showed a light smile when she saw the fluidity in his moves. Being on an absurd power level and having countless experiences had given her a good pair of eyes. Both Wukong and Serafina knew that she could've ended him whenever she wanted, but this was a test, and knowing the system, it wouldn't send him here if he didn't have a single chance of clearing it.

"So you're finally done brat! It was getting boring seeing your blind dance for 2 days straight."
"HAHAHA, I thought you would jump on me like a predator MILF Dragon by the gaze you are giving me right now but yes, let's resume our fight."
