The two did not use their abilities for now, relying purely on close combat.
Gu Ziming was indeed very strong; he wouldn't go easy on someone just because she was a woman.
Fists met flesh, and the fight was intense and exhilarating.
If she didn't have a zombie physique, she might not have been able to defeat him.
The fighting arena was outdoors, and anyone who wanted to watch could come anytime, so the crowd grew larger and larger.
This included Cheng Liangqing, who was currently training.
He stood at the periphery, his eyes wide with disbelief.
Why was Xu Qian here?
Inside the arena, the two were panting from exertion. Xu Qian had to admit that among her previous opponents, Gu Ziming was the strongest in terms of pure martial prowess so far.
Of course, except for Xiang Jintian.
Xiang Jintian was different from others; he was her teacher, and in her heart, he was the best.
Neither of them voluntarily surrendered, but both of their movements had become somewhat sluggish.
The soldiers surrounding them watched with wide eyes, diligently trying to gain knowledge from the fight.
Xiang Jintian had been observing them, growing increasingly astonished.
Xu Qian had improved significantly; her overall agility and stamina were excellent, and her moves were increasingly ruthless, each strike aimed at a vital point.
Facing Xu Qian, he was certain he couldn't win...
Finally, it was Gu Ziming who called a halt.
His face was pale, sweat drenching his body, his stamina completely depleted. He estimated that he would lose if the fight continued.
The loss wouldn't be due to combat skill, but stamina.
He believed he had trained his stamina thoroughly, yet he hadn't expected to encounter someone with better stamina.
And it was... a woman.
[Ding, Gu Ziming's friendship increased by 5, total favorability is 15.]
Xu Qian's dark eyes flickered, and she asked, "Continue?"
Although Gu Ziming was exhausted, his back remained straight.
"Xu Qian, we'll fight again next time."
He secretly decided to add 3 kilograms of weight to his running routine tomorrow, and all other training would also be doubled.
A faint smile touched Xu Qian's lips as she nodded, "You're welcome anytime."
After the fight, the spectators gradually dispersed. To Xu Qian's surprise, some people asked for her autograph, and quite a few of them.
They claimed to be her fans??
Xu Qian couldn't refuse, so she signed for them. Some even requested photos.
Naturally, that was rejected.
After the fans finally dispersed, a tall figure emerged from the crowd, handsome and exuding righteousness.
Xu Qian smiled faintly, "Liangqing, long time no see."
The man's eyes flickered, and he strode towards her. Just as she thought he would give her a hug...
He suddenly stopped and chuckled lightly, "Xu Qian, you're too neglectful. You're only coming to see us now."
Xu Qian smiled and patted his arm, "I'll be staying with you for a while this time. After you finish your work, we'll all go out to eat as the Daybreak team."
Cheng Liangqing responded with a nod, his gaze reluctantly shifting away from her face.
After not seeing her for so long, she had become even more beautiful.
Xiang Jintian remained silent, not wanting to disturb them. He could clearly see Cheng Liangqing's uncontrollable excitement, a feeling he shared with his own reunion with Qianqian, almost unable to control himself.
Cheng Liangqing likes Qianqian?
Xu Qian asked casually, "Oh, by the way, Fi'a mentioned you when she got back. She's doing well at Tang's base. I'll have her accompany you sometime if you're free."
Cheng Liangqing's expression froze, and his body temperature dropped to freezing point.
Fi'a was a good girl. At first, he had indeed taken care of her more due to Xu Qian, but as they spent more time together, he developed feelings for her and even confessed his love.
She... didn't refuse, and they naturally ended up together.
The moment Xu Qian returned, everyone else in his world vanished, leaving only her.
Only her.
