Chapter 177 Another Sparring Session
Chapter 177 Another Sparring Session
Lin Yue has a lot of money. Over the years, her brother has given her a generous allowance, which she has basically saved.
She spent some money to hire a private investigator to find out about Chi Xiaoyu, while she continued attending school as usual during the waiting period.
After being discharged from the hospital, Lin Mu and Yun Xiling stayed in Z City for several days. Only after seeing that Lin Yue was really alright did the two of them finally feel relieved and return to A City.
Private investigators need time to investigate people, but during this time, Lin Yue met someone she expected.
"Senior Lin Yue! How is your recovery going?" On Friday night, Zhuang Changwu handed Lin Yue a cup of milk tea and asked with a smile.
"I'm fine. What about you? Haven't there been quite a few Outcasts lately? How come you still have time to come see me?" Lin Yue naturally accepted the milk tea. Zhuang Changwu still habitually called her "senior," which she didn't mind.
"There aren't any Other Riders for now, and even if there were, the association would definitely notify me promptly!" "That's good." Lin Yue took a sip of milk tea, the sweetness spreading on her tongue, which made her feel a little more relaxed.
"Actually, I came to see you today to ask if it would be convenient for us to spar?" Zhuang Changwu scratched his head a little embarrassedly: "I know you usually have to go to school, but today is Friday, so I came here."
Lin Yue raised an eyebrow. "A spar? Sure. It'll be a good opportunity to see if you've made any progress lately." She did need to stretch her muscles, after all, she'd been lying in bed for so long.
"Really? That's great!" Zhuang Changwu was extremely excited. He opened the car door and said, "Please."
After Lin Yue got into the car, Zhuang Changwu handed her the Decade watch face: "Senior, where shall we go for a sparring match?"
"Whatever you want, but we should definitely find a secluded spot!" Lin Yue said casually.
"Okay! How about we go to the training base in City C? City C isn't far from here, and there's no one there right now!"
The car sped along, and on the way, Zhuang Changwu asked, "By the way, senior, what was that red thing you had earlier? It was so powerful! Was it also one of those Armor Heroes?"
"Oh, that? I guess so!" Lin Yue chatted casually, but her mind was still on Chi Xiaoyu.
"By the way, senior, do you remember how you used to punish me every time I lost a sparring match with you?" Zhuang Changwu said, lowering his head unconsciously and speaking softly, as if it were something he couldn't bring himself to say.
Lin Yue was slightly taken aback upon hearing this. After a moment's thought, she seemed to recall that such a thing had indeed happened. Back then, when the two were sparring, her long sword would always land precisely on Zhuang Changwu's buttocks, making him howl in pain.
"I hit you with my sword just to encourage you to get up and keep fighting. After all, we were just sparring, and I couldn't really hurt you, could I? After thinking it over, the only appropriate thing to do was to hit your fleshy butt."
Hearing Lin Yue's explanation, Zhuang Changwu was taken aback at first, then realized what she meant and couldn't help but chuckle awkwardly, "Oh, I see! I understand now. But, if one day I happen to defeat you in a sparring match, then shouldn't I...?"
Before he could finish speaking, Lin Yue glared at him and said irritably, "Hmph, I know you've been holding back a lot of anger. But if you really had the ability to beat me, that wouldn't be a problem. But you? You're like a small fry!"
After saying that, she defiantly raised her chin at Zhuang Changwu: "Even if I only use this Decade watch, it's still impossible!"
Soon, the two arrived at the training base in City C. Zhuang Changwu showed his identification to the guard at the entrance and went inside.
"Sigh, there's usually no one here, only during winter and summer vacations. Of course, the restaurant is closed then too. The buffet here is quite delicious though!" Zhuang Changwu said with some regret.
Soon, the two arrived at the enclosed training ground and walked to the arena where everyone had sparred before.
"Senior...are you ready?" Zhuang Changwu took out the Time Driver and looked at Lin Yue with some nervousness.
"No problem." Lin Yue pressed the dial.
“DDD-Decade!” A white belt appeared, and Lin Yue skillfully took out the driving card.
"KamenRide! Decade!"
“呲∽Zi-O”
"Rider Time! Kamen Rider Zi-O→↘Oh∽"
Both sides completed their transformations. Lin Yue could only use the power from the Decade watch face, which made sense, otherwise it would be too unfair.
"Come on, let me see if this noob has improved!" Lin Yue felt the long-lost White Emperor Knight and wiped the card box sword.
"I won't hold back!" Zhuang Changwu launched the first attack, rushing towards Lin Yue with movements that were indeed more agile and swift than before.
Lin Yue confronted him directly, and the two exchanged blows, neither giving an inch. Lin Yue did not try to outmaneuver him with fighting techniques, but instead engaged in a direct confrontation.
In the clash between the two sides, Decade gradually fell into a disadvantageous position.
Although the base stats of all the Kamen Riders in this world are relatively low, they are all about the same, so they are in a state of balance. However, Zi-O is an exception.
His base form stats are higher than other Kamen Riders, exactly the same as the original, and even higher than Decade's stats, though Magenta is incomparable.
Furthermore, since the summoner's own strength does not affect the Kamen Rider, she was suppressed.
But Lin Yue remained calm and composed. She easily dodged to the side and then thrust out her sword with a backhand.
Zhuang Changwu was shocked and quickly jumped back, at the same time a riding watch appeared in his hand! He quickly switched to Zi-O riding armor form!
Zhuang Changwu spun around and crashed into Lin Yue. Lin Yue leaped up, but was clearly not as fast as Zi-O in his current form! She was knocked away by him!
The moment he bumped into her, Zhuang Changwu caught that fresh, youthful scent again. He froze, unable to resist sniffing it a few more times, but he quickly realized what he was doing, and his face instantly turned red.
Lin Yue was unaware of all this. Taking advantage of the moment, she flipped in the air and landed steadily, switching her card-shaped sword into gun form and firing an energy blast. Zhuang Changwu couldn't dodge in time and was hit in the shoulder, staggering a few steps.
"Looks like the weaklings aren't strong enough," Lin Yue joked. Zhuang Changwu gritted his teeth and charged forward again. This time, he changed his strategy, using his speed advantage to constantly change his form, trying to confuse Lin Yue.
Lin Yue's eyes were fixed on the front, completely focused. However, even so, the experienced Zhuang Changwu still keenly caught the fleeting flaw.
Zhuang Changwu flashed forward, delivering a precise kick to Lin Yue's hand holding the Card Box Sword. The Card Box Sword instantly flew out of her hand, arcing through the air before landing on the ground a short distance away.
"Wow, that's impressive." Lin Yue reacted quickly, nimbly rolling to get close to the fallen card box sword and taking out a card at the same time.
"KamenRide! Agitw!"
Kamen Rider Decade transformed into Agito! Seeing Zi-O charging at her again, Lin Yue slightly sidestepped to avoid it.
Seeing Zi-O constantly shifting horizontally, Lin Yue seized the opportunity and punched the charging Zi-O, sending him flying! Zhuang Changwu fell straight to the ground like a kite with a broken string.
"Again!" Not to be outdone, Zhuang Changwu pulled out the even faster Kabuto Watch!
"Armor Time!"
"KamenRide! Kabuto!"
The two red figures collided and simultaneously unleashed their ultimate attacks!
"Final AttackRide! Kabuto!"
"Finish Time! Kabuto Time Break!
With a crash, Decade was the last to be sent flying. After all, the Zi-O armor is composed of the power of Zi-O and the corresponding armor, while Decade's Masked Form only has one power.
"Sigh, it's a numerical problem. The other side is a numerical monster!" Lin Yue sighed as she lay on the ground.
"Senior? Did I win?" Zhuang Changwu suppressed his excitement and asked cautiously.
Lin Yue stood up, dusted herself off, and said, "It's not a big deal. What are you thinking? You're being too naive." She then took out another card.
"Armor Mastery - War General!"
