Chapter 180 - Intruders
"Hell blades, endless execution!" she seem to have name the technique so as she yelled, releasing the densely parked shadows of blades on David.
Upon seeing this, David couldn't help but snort coldly. His constitution had been enhanced to an amazing degree when he broke through to the bronze body. His stamina was almost five times higher than a Spryher his level and that is considering the Spryher had reached 199 CPM.
But even then, the possibility of a Spryher his mate possessing the bronze body was severely low, making David unimaginably strong amongst his mates.
The short bursts of power than enhances speed and strength take a very severe toll on the user's strength and stamina. Even Phyllida was already at her limit as her muscles, veins and meridians were already on the verge of breaking down. But she was a battle maniac, it was unknown of she would stop there.
"Greater Cyclonic palm Slash, Typhoon!" David spread his arms widely and then, flashes of light seem to surround him like a tornado attempting to break through the void with its immense might, but if one looked closely, one would notice that it wasn't just ordinary flashed of light that made the tornado, it was endlessly parked arms that seem to fill up the void.
The air shook greatly and time seem to stop. Abruptly, David smacked his palms together and then, he unleashed the massive palm blade shadows on the sword blades coming for him.
"Break! Break! Break! Break! Break!" his voice was cold but contained a hint of fury, his blood boiled and his arms smashed against the blades like phantoms.
Immediately they collided, astonishing Sparks of fire lit up like firecrackers. It was as though densely parked firecrackers where being put in their middle to explode freely.
"Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!" it seems David's hands were made of iron as the Sparks continued to be produced as the palm and the blades collided.
Phyllida's eyes widened and she moved back swiftly like a butterfly but, several tens of palm blades struck her.
Her body shook softly and her skin rippled like an invincible barrier had been struck, the ground continued to crack like an immense force is being transferee into it. But in just half a second, the barrier seem to have reached its limits.
"Crack! Boom!"
She was immediately sent flying backwards like a soccer ball. But Phyllida was an experienced fighter, with a flap of her arms and a manoeuvring movement, she steadied her self in the distance.
She stared at David in disbelief and she muttered to herself "Impossible!"
She didn't seem to have any thought of continuing the fight. She couldn't believe a Spryher of her level or her mate could contain such massive burst of power and his or her meridians, veins and muscles would breakdown, burst or tear from shear power.
Unless if one had enhanced his veins muscles and meridians to an astonishing degree. And the most astonishing fact was the fact that David seem quite clumsy when he was executing his own burst of power, which seem to mean that, he had just learnt how to execute the technique from her.
She couldn't help but wonder if he was actually really a genius in disguise.
She stared at David for a while and remained silent.
David was still in a state of excitement and he was about to stomp his feet when a voice interrupted him.
"Alright, that's enough." A few distance away, Phyllida retracted her blade to God knows where and she took off her helmet, revealing her beautiful ebony face. Her green eyes seem to shine in the darkness, but her face seem to be a little pale, she seem exhausted.
David was stunned, he was really enjoying the fight with Phyllida but she had suddenly put a stop to it. He was confused but when he saw her face, he couldn't help but be stunned once again. She was just too beautiful.
Shaking his head, Phyllida shook her hair as she glanced at David "I was just simply testing you, don't tell me you were being serious?" her tone was especially casual.
Her cloak had been shredded into pieces but Phyllida didn't seem to mind. She had moved far away from David, so she reckoned he would be unable to see much of her body curved anyway. She was only putting on the Combat Suit which was skin tight against her skin. Showing every curve, segment and even the dots on her stratum.
But sadly for her , David had long since activated his night vision. He hurriedly took his eyes off her. He then frowned as he asked.
"What test?" David felt his brain was about to explode, he just couldn't keep up with the thoughts of this woman. They would already start conversing about one thing when she would suddenly change the subject.
"Since I couldn't beat you now, naturally I have no power to capture you. But, just keep your self safe for me. I will come back for you." With that, she put in her helmet and with a few motion steps, she vanished into the wilderness.
David blinked his eyes, as he thought about what she had just said. Sighing lightly, he just shook his head and placed her at the back of his mind. He felt of he kept thinking about her, his headaches would just increase and he want going to allow that.
With a satisfied smile, David sat down and began to process their fights. Although he had been learning combat tactics from the institute, he felt he had learnt more things in his fight with Phyllida than he had during his whole time in the institute.
He wasn't even aware of the shirt bursts of power. He just learnt that from seeing Phyllida perform it. And that maneuver she executed at the end when he had sent her flying backwards, David was especially impressed by it.
That was why he hoped to battle her soon again. Placing his own helmet back on his head, David looked at the barren lands around him, their fight had been so destructive the environment had been destroyed.
David instantly frowned. He felt he had forgotten something but even after a few minutes of pondering, he couldn't figure it out, so he just placed it at the back of his mind and he rested on a tree a few kilometres away from their fight zone.
A few minutes later, a shout seem to echo "Ah! My Gyno points!" he should have just kept her there and release her when she send him his Gyno point. He remembered she was also in his list.

"Cough! Cough! Cough!"
"That bastard is too strong." Phyllida hurriedly tapped on her thigh and she inhaled deeply as the serum installed in her combat Suit was automatically injected into her bloodstream.
But she didn't gibe in to the euphoria this time, she was thinking about something. She had expected that with the Combat Suit, she would be unstoppable in this event, but things don't always go as planned. With her experience, she understood that and that was why she had prepared for the worst case scenario. Her backup plan.
The other students. Instead of her to go out there, personally to kill beast and gather kill points, she had recruited the other students. She had planned to stay at the safe zone to reap the fruit of their labour, but now, it seem she now had to go out there and gather kill points.
Phyllida frowned at the thought.

Suddenly, five figures stood in a room, in a dilapidated high school building that was a few stories high.
There were four young guys and one young girl staying quietly in the large surpossingly classroom.
The five of them wore the same uniform that seem to indicate that they were from a particular school or from a particular organisation, which was in contrast to what David and the other students seem to wearing.
They were from another organisation!
The five of the stared at a large holographic image that was in between them as they circled around it.
Suddenly, one of them smiled and he said. "I suggest we each go our separate ways and deal with our targets. It would be faster than grouping up together, what do you think." Sparrow, the guy with the bald held suggested.
"Hm-mh." "Seems like a great idea to me. The institute will soon notice our life signs anyway and our cloaking device would only last four hours." A dark skinned guy, scorpion agreed with a malevolent smile on his face.
"But, how should we select our targets this time?" The girl called snake, frowned over the matter with her eyes turning into a slit.
"There's no need for us to argue over the targets, let boss decide it for us. What say you boss." A huge, thick light skinned guy that looked Indian stated.
The four guys and girls instantly turned their gazes away from the hologram and faced the remaining guy that had remained silent throughout.
