Xu Qian swung her Bastar knife at him, and the man met it with his own blade. With a "clang," the metal blade was cut in two.
Baili Xingchi's eyes lit up. What a good knife!
He began to condense various weapons, all of which Xu Qian severed.
Xu Qian even suspected he was here to test the hardness of metal.
She was never one to procrastinate, and with a backhand, she aimed for his neck.
Unexpectedly, a piece of metal condensed on the man's skin, deflecting her blow with a "clang."
Xu Qian stepped back, looking up. The metal plate on his neck had vanished.
"Baili, that's amazing."
The man chuckled, touching his slightly numb neck, showing no fear.
He had a metal attribute ability; metal could cover his entire body, making him impervious to ordinary people.
"Baili, let's have a bare-handed fight."
He had already lost in a battle of abilities, losing to that knife. If Xu Qian had attacked with her mental ability simultaneously, he would have fallen long ago.
He had witnessed it; Xu Qian was incredibly fast and powerful, clearly trained.
"Okay."
She hadn't forgotten what Tang Jintian taught her, but she wondered if she'd become rusty.
As the punch approached, Xu Qian instinctively dodged to the side and struck the man's abdomen.
With a "thwack," the punch landed squarely.
Baili Xingchi almost vomited. How could she be so fast?

Before he could react, the girl's long leg kicked towards his most vulnerable spine.
The man narrowly dodged. After that, he had no chance to retaliate; he was simply getting beaten.
He never imagined that the offensive power he'd honed over four years in the apocalypse was mere trash before her.
He admired strength!
[Ding, Baili Xingchi's friendship increased by 5, total friendship is 25.]
Xu Qian's dark eyes gleamed. Did the more he got beaten, the faster he leveled up?
For the first time, she was hitting someone so hard. Yes, hitting someone.
Before, she killed mutated creatures and zombies; now, she was beating up people!
Baili Xingchi was beaten black and blue, unable to utter a word.
He wanted to say stop, but the woman's fists never ceased. He couldn't get a word out!
Finally, Xu Qian grew a little tired. The system's prompt began to sound.
[Ding, Baili Xingchi's friendship increased by 5, total friendship is 30.]
Xu Qian narrowed her eyes and lowered the foot she was about to kick towards his stomach.
"Baili, shall we stop for today?"
Baili Xingchi sat down on trembling legs, gasping, "Do you... do you have any water?"
With a thought, Xu Qian conjured a bottle of mineral water and handed it to him.
The man grabbed it and gulped down half of it.
"Xu Qian, I'll never fight you again."
Xu Qian: ???
Tang Zhishen arrived just in time to hear this. He looked down and saw the man in a sorry state, bruised and swollen.
He coughed lightly and suddenly understood.
"Baili, you reap what you sow!"
Baili Xingchi, however, stared at him with a peculiar look, remaining silent.
His gaze made Tang Zhishen's skin crawl.
Could this Baili have fallen for Xu Qian?
"Bro, with this woman... can you handle it?"
Would he be domestically abused at home?
If he were to say that the leader of Tang Base was domestically abused, he'd be laughed to death.
He suddenly thought that those gentle women were actually quite good...
Tang Zhishen chuckled, a rare sight. "Are you an idiot? Ah Qian and I are dating, not fighting."
Xu Qian raised an eyebrow and smiled, pursing her lips.
"Don't worry, I'll go easy on Ah Shen when I hit him."
