Science Fiction: Starting from Obtaining Sophon

"Boom boom boom——"

After a gentle knock on the door and a "Come in," the door opened, and Akai Mary, dressed in a business suit, walked in carrying a plate filled with pastries she had baked herself.

As soon as you walk in, the aroma of pastries wafts over you.

"Yuanda, these are some walnut cookies I just made. I followed an ancient recipe, and I tasted one and thought it was quite good, so I brought some up for you."

As he spoke, his eyes involuntarily fell on Genda River. His increasingly defined muscles looked too perfect, like walking hormones. He could smell the other man's scent and felt his whole body getting hot.

Genda River smiled and took it, picking up a piece and eating it. It was crispy and sweet, with a nutty aroma that wasn't cloying, but rather had a fruity crispness.

After spending time together, Genda Kawa also discovered that this woman seemed to have a special feeling for him. From being wary at the beginning, she had already trusted him completely in just a few days.

I initially thought she was deliberately getting close, but after observing her, I realized she wasn't faking it, which was strange.

After all, although Mary Akai appeared late in the original work and didn't have many scenes, she was definitely a standout character.

Because Sera calls her her sister from outside the territory, she is affectionately known as "Lingmei" by everyone.

Then, in several moves, even in her shrunken state, she was clean and efficient. Her detective and fighting abilities were both superior, demonstrating extremely strong abilities. Coupled with her cute appearance after shrinking, she even managed to steal away a lot of fans' affection for Ai Haibara.

Now that she hasn't shrunk, she's even more stunning, fully displaying the charm of a mature woman. Her figure is curvaceous, and her skin is delicate and smooth, even comparable to Eri Kisaki. And now, in this ambiguous situation... well, it's quite convenient.

He coughed lightly to regain his composure.

"What's wrong? Did you choke? Have some water."

Mary Akai hurriedly brought over a glass of water, which Genda Gawa accepted with a smile.

"Thank you, Madam Pengshan."

Mary Akai smiled slightly: "Masumi and I are currently staying at your house and are being taken care of by you, so there's no need to thank me. If you really want to thank me, then please give me some pointers on my fighting skills. I've been training in fighting techniques for years, but I've hit a bottleneck and haven't been able to break through. Genda, you're a swordsmanship master, so you should be able to give me some pointers, right?"

Instructing you on fighting techniques? Of course, no problem.

Although he has not received formal training in combat skills, as a sword master and a character with the abilities of Ghost Back and Power Dissipation, he is by no means weak in combat.

However, this woman's fighting skills are also quite impressive. If I spar with her, I can learn something, which is not bad.

Moreover, combat inevitably involves physical contact, especially some jiu-jitsu techniques.

However, this is all for training purposes, and there's nothing wrong with it.

"Okay, I'll go to the training room after I finish eating."

The villa has quite a few rooms. The first floor has a living room, kitchen, and guest rooms. On the second floor, in addition to the master bedroom, there are many empty rooms. One of the largest rooms has been converted into a training room by Genda River.

After all, you can't train outdoors all the time; there are times when it's windy and rainy.

Inside the training room, the floor is covered with thick rubber mats. As long as you don't use those special moves with built-in effects, there are basically no problems here.

"Genda, I'm going to start! Hey!"

After the two stood still, Akai Mary attacked Gendagawa without hesitation. Her fist was as swift as a thrust, and it was already in front of him in the blink of an eye. Gendagawa blocked with his arm, and then his left hand turned into a palm, like a sword thrust, directly attacking the center.

At that moment, the opponent's knee was already close.

This wasn't a matter of improvisation; rather, the opponent knew beforehand that if his full-force punch failed, he would be vulnerable. So, he preemptively raised his knee to attack, which served as both defense and offense!

Then, a series of follow-up attacks came one after another, launching a fierce offensive against Genda River.

In an instant, Gendagawa Roku judged the opponent's fighting style: direct attacks that seemed unchanging, but in reality, the attacks compensated for any changes.

This is similar to what Chen Zhen said when he fought Funakoshi Fumio in Fist of Fury: the best defense is offense.

A relentless barrage of attacks leaves the opponent no time to exploit your weaknesses, and they will be overwhelmed by the relentless onslaught.

However, whether one uses offense as defense or defense as offense, there is no inherent superiority or inferiority. The real difference lies in one's level of understanding and personal cultivation.

Just like Gendagawa himself, although he has not yet fully mastered the Demon Back and Power Dissipation techniques, his control over his body has reached an extremely high level. Even if he doesn't use breathing techniques and just stands there letting Akai Mary hit him, she won't be able to hurt him.

If you can't even break through their defenses, then there's no point in talking about anything else.

After easily blocking several of Mary Akai's attacks, he gained some understanding of her attack patterns. So, he began to fight and learn from her fighting techniques.

This isn't modesty; it's that the opponent's fighting techniques are genuinely effective. They are all highly refined and practical moves.

Genda River has always held the belief that only power originating from oneself truly belongs to oneself; power derived from the environment or power that can be taken away is not truly one's own.

It's like the dependence on spiritual energy in some cultivation novels. Once you lose spiritual energy, even a thousand years of cultivation could be killed by a mortal, which is just too ridiculous.

Therefore, in a cultivation world, possessing extraordinary power stems from one's own strength, wisdom, and willpower, which are the foundation of true strength.

Getting back to the main point, Akai Mary, who was fighting Genda River, was becoming increasingly alarmed as the fight progressed.

At the beginning, the opponent didn't seem to know much about fighting, but in a short time, he had already learned all my moves. His learning ability is terrifying!

This is not surprising. With an understanding of the nature of breathing and muscles, and a strong physique, learning combat becomes like taking a commanding view.

It's like you've solved university-level math and then come back to solve elementary school math—it's like a dimensional reduction attack. Not only can you learn it, but you can also quickly find the opponent's weaknesses.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for Genda to take advantage of a misstep in the opponent's attack rhythm, knock him down, and then grab him by the neck from behind, subduing him.

Mary Akai was still somewhat unconvinced, so she stood up and continued fighting.

But he was knocked down again in no time, and his opponent found another opening.

These flaws are like Miao Renfeng's "White Crane Spreads Wings" move in "The Flying Fox of Snowy Mountain." They are flaws that only arise when practicing moves. They are basically habits that one cannot discover, and even if one discovers them, they are difficult to correct, as well as some subtle problems that appear in the back of the body.

Against ordinary opponents, there's no problem, but against experts, Yuan's flaws will definitely be spotted.

Chapter 203 A Natural Result and Pheromone

"Snapped--"

Mary Akai's upright body was slammed heavily onto the rubber mat again, and she couldn't help but gasp for breath.

This guy is terrifying. His attack was completely neutralized. He found the connection between all his moves and, like a skilled butcher dissecting an ox, completely neutralized his attack, bringing the concept of "interception" to its extreme.

She was also provoked and no longer confined to just one style.

She used techniques from multiple styles, including Jeet Kune Do, kickboxing, Jiu-Jitsu, Krav Maga, and Taekwondo, like a fierce female leopard.

However, in the face of absolute power, her attacks were weak and powerless. Even when they landed on Genda River, they were like tickling him.

"Are you convinced?"

Genda River squatted on the ground, smiling as he looked at Akai Mary, his chin slightly raised.

Seeing the guy's smug look, Mary Akai couldn't help but grit her teeth in anger, but the opponent's strength was indeed far superior to hers, and even if she tried her best, she couldn't resist.

Moreover, the fact that he had just deciphered her fighting techniques made her realize that he had completely seen through her skills and truly understood her weaknesses.

He immediately put away his arrogance and began to humbly ask Yuan623 Tianchuan for advice.

Genda didn't hide anything, but instead pointed out all the shortcomings he had discovered during the battle. The two of them then practiced again, and he helped her adjust the subtle changes in her movements and redesign her response methods.

Mary Akai was also completely shocked. It would be one thing if this young man could only defeat her, but he was actually able to correct his own fighting techniques, which was terrifying.

She could clearly feel that her movements, after his adjustments, were more concise and fluid, her attacks were stronger, and her strength had increased.

Don't underestimate these subtle changes. For martial arts masters, even the slightest change, let alone a few points, is extremely difficult, but once completed, the benefits are enormous.

For masters of similar skill, the outcome of a battle is never about using unexpected moves, but about making fewer mistakes.

However, there is one problem with teaching martial arts techniques: physical contact is indispensable. It's like how Zhou Botong, the Old Urchin, teaches Ying Gu acupoint striking techniques. Some moves require physical contact and hands-on instruction for the other person to learn.

Soon, both of them were breathing heavily. Akai Mary felt a surge of heat throughout her body from the intense exercise, and the roundness that the boy had accidentally touched earlier was also feeling strange.

And for some reason, the other person didn't have the sweaty smell of a man after strenuous exercise at all. Instead, there was a warm and comforting scent on him, and the yang energy flowing between his nostrils made his heart pound.

Unbeknownst to them, their rehearsal had stopped, and they were now embracing. Before Akai Mary could even react, a hot breath wafted over, and her pert nose felt somewhat obstructed.

Mary Akai felt as if she had been electrocuted; her long, curved eyelashes trembled a few times, and her delicate, fair face instantly turned as red as flames.

She felt like she was going crazy. The other person was about the same age as her daughter, and she actually... This was too absurd!

But for some reason, I felt a surge of joy, as if my heart was filled with happiness.

It had darkened outside the window sometime earlier, with thick, dark clouds obscuring the sky. The beautiful red maple tree in the courtyard was bent over by the strong wind, as if it were being oppressed by an unknown force.

The maple leaves, shaped like palms, rustled rhythmically in the wind.

Mary Akai knew from her previous fight with Genda Gawa that he was extremely strong, with muscles all over his body.

But after they actually 'clashed', they realized that they had underestimated his strength.

His muscles were perfectly formed, without an ounce of excess fat. His skin looked similar to that of an average person, but it had an extremely delicate feel, no less than that of a woman, only with an extremely resilient quality.

The muscles beneath the skin are like a piece of elastic rubber, and the closer they are to the bones, the stronger this elasticity becomes.

Especially since this was during a relaxing moment at Genda River.

If his muscles tensed up, one can imagine just how terrifying it would be.

Genda River was also very amazed, saying that some things can only be truly understood when they are in one's own hands.

Some things are like eating zongzi (sticky rice dumplings). Whether they are savory or sweet, as long as they taste good, they are good zongzi. The reason why people are fixated on whether they are savory or sweet is because they have never tasted a truly good zongzi. A truly good zongzi has a charm that transcends boundaries.
