Chapter 71 True - Extraordinary Talent
An hour later, the two collapsed on either side of the training room. Tang Ruobing covered her face with one hand, panting heavily, and couldn't help but think to herself: I must be crazy to have fought this guy for so long.

Her purpose in provoking the battle was to test Ye Mingqiu's strength in her own way, indirectly confirming whether he had the ability to quickly eliminate Feng Xinglie in the team battle, and to determine his current strength.

The answer is clear.
Ye Mingqiu has extremely high damage tolerance. During the equipment phase, she can withstand a wave of damage from Feng Xinglie without any problem. As for the second phase, Feng Xinglie will not change into a full set of leather armor and replace all the accessories with those that increase strength, agility, and constitution before fighting Ye Mingqiu one-on-one.

If Feng Xinglie, who is unable to cast spells, encounters this guy, the consequences are unlikely to be good. The decapitation tactic still has a high chance of being successful.

Tang Ruobing turned her head to look at Ye Mingqiu, who was lying on the other side of the training room, and asked, "Hey, why did you slap me in the face just now?"

"If there's a weakness and no armor, then we'll attack."

Ye Mingqiu's answer was simple and direct, and it was also his true thought. Tang Ruobing's leather armor was of high quality, and hitting her would not do much damage. Of course, he would hit her face if there was an opening.

Once he enters combat mode, he doesn't have any extraneous thoughts; he fights when he should and seizes any openings. This is both his strength and his weakness.

However, even when in combat, Ye Mingqiu would not be ruthless. In non-life-or-death battles, he would hold back and would not use deadly moves recklessly against his opponent's vital points. He would simply enjoy the fun of fighting.

Just because of this?
Tang Ruobing felt a little frustrated, so she turned to ask, "If you were in the group and another woman showed a weakness, would you beat her this badly?"

Ye Mingqiu paused briefly before replying, "If it's an enemy, I won't show any mercy."

"You mean you still have reservations?"

"Correct."

"You weren't even using your full strength just now?"

Tang Ruobing's voice gradually grew louder, and the gaze directed at her changed accordingly. She had thought it was an evenly matched contest, but she hadn't expected this guy to have a backup plan.

"Yes, I didn't use a weapon."

"Weapons?"

Tang Ruobing suddenly realized that this guy had learned the Level 1 Long Weapon Specialization before. If he used a long weapon in battle, he would indeed have a greater chance of gaining the upper hand and thus winning.

Compared to Ye Mingqiu, who was unarmed, she used fighting gloves. Although fighting gloves did not provide an attack power bonus, they did provide an additional active skill, [Powerful Rhythm], which she used. In terms of weaponry, she did have an advantage.

But even if he uses a weapon, I might not necessarily lose, right? After all, this guy's close-combat proficiency level has already reached level 1, so he must have undergone quite rigorous training. I doubt he'll achieve anything new in long-range weapon mastery.

So Tang Ruobing casually asked, "What's your highest level of special skill?"

"Level 3."

"Oh, level 3. What? Level 3?!"

Tang Ruobing's expression changed drastically. Her light blue eyes widened, and she instantly stood up from her exhausted state on the ground. She quickly went to Ye Mingqiu's side and said, "Quick, share it with me! If you dare to lie to me, you'll regret it!"

"Ah."

Ye Mingqiu opened the panel and shared the level of his long weapon's special ability.

[Long Weapon Specialization: Level 3]

"Level 3, it really is Level 3! How did you do that? How did you raise your skill level to Level 3 in such a short time? How many skill experience books did you use? Where did you get the spirit points to buy them?" Tang Ruobing asked incredulously.

"I didn't use skill experience books. If upgrading a special skill requires skill experience books, that would be a huge waste of spirit points," Ye Mingqiu said matter-of-factly.

For him, upgrading combat specialties simply required fighting, and the journey to the Spirit Realm inevitably involved combat anyway. There was absolutely no need to spend Spirit Energy Points on skill upgrade books to upgrade his combat specialties; it would be a huge waste. "This..."

"Oh, by the way, thank you. You helped me learn the [Fist Technique Specialty] from the battle just now. Without your help, I don't know how long it would have taken me to learn it on my own." Ye Mingqiu shared his Level 1 Fist Technique Specialty and expressed his heartfelt gratitude.

"You've mastered a special martial arts technique? Based on the time it took to fight just now?" Tang Ruobing asked incredulously.

"Yes, but I have a foundation in close combat. If I were starting from scratch, it would take at least four or five hours to learn it. My talent isn't as good as you think," Ye Mingqiu replied.

"Do you know how long it takes for a normal person to master a level 1 special skill?" Tang Ruobing asked quietly.

"I know, about a month."

Ye Mingqiu revealed an incredibly bright smile.

Before he became a psychic, he never thought he could successfully pass the Spirit Realm Trials, so he didn't learn many common sense things. But now that he's become a psychic, if he still doesn't learn basic common sense things, then there's something wrong with his thinking.

Tang Ruobing clenched her fist and said, "You knew that, so why are you saying that? You're doing it on purpose!"

"Hey?"

"I beat you to death!"

Tang Ruobing raised her fist to strike, but ultimately held back. She sighed deeply, lowered her hand, and said, "Is your specialty really improved so much just through combat? Are you sure?"

"Why did you lie to me?"

"Then your combat talent must be very strong. I could actually feel it during the fight just now. Your reaction speed is very fast, your combat intuition is abnormally accurate, and you are frighteningly pure when you enter combat mode. You even fought me like that."

Tang Ruobing squatted on the ground, silently burying her head in her knees, hugging her legs with her hands, her long blue hair falling naturally, creating a somewhat poignant scene.

After the fierce battle, her attitude seemed to have undergone some subtle changes. She was no longer as cold as before, but instead had a girlish feel to her, as if she had returned to the time when she and Tang Ruobing were chatting online.

Ye Mingqiu looked at her, his feelings complicated.

You were even more ruthless than me in that fight, and now you're pretending to be pitiful.

However, she was indeed very kind to me, and she was full of martial spirit during the battle. Even when she was at a disadvantage, she did not consider using magic, but insisted on fighting to the end in her own way.

Using your full strength in battle is a basic respect for a strong fighter.

Ye Mingqiu originally intended to say that, but in the end he simply patted Tang Ruobing on the back and softly comforted her, "I'm sorry."

"Will you still hit me in the future?" Tang Ruobing quietly raised her head, revealing a dangerous glint in her eyes.

"It depends."

"you!"

Enraged, Tang Ruobing retrieved her staff from her storage space, banging it on the ground while shouting, "I told you to watch the situation! I told you to watch the situation! Are you going to watch it again?!"

"Hey!"

Ye Mingqiu was beaten badly, but it didn't hurt much; he even wanted to say something:
You hit someone like you're being cute!
