Chapter 18: Such a Great Skill, Why Can't I Use It?
I heard that in ancient times, a woman's greatest life pursuit was to have a big, chubby boy.
With a big chubby boy, many things become easier to handle, like getting rid of the foxes A, B, C, D around the husband, and also E, F, G.
Hikigaya felt that Luo Hao might have this kind of pursuit, but... Obviously, not to mention a husband, she doesn't even have a boyfriend! Single for hundreds of years straight!
So by common sense, she would first need a boyfriend with a stick, to have that big chubby boy. This is a very serious cause-and-effect relationship, cannot be reversed, and cannot be skipped.
As a fellow clan member, Hikigaya felt he could help out, help Luo Hao break this boring common sense.
Who said girls absolutely must have a boyfriend with a stick to have a big chubby boy?
Anyway, Di Jun doesn't do it that way — He just spits out eggs directly and that's it. What kind of spirit is that? You guys who are always thinking about burning, burning, burning — think carefully about this!
Hikigaya always admired this kind of self-reliant life attitude.
So now, full of the spirit of "Don't worry, soon you won't need to rely on anyone," he mixed Di Jun's ten suns power into his fist and threw a punch.
Thinking of possessing such a great spirit, Hikigaya was intoxicated, almost wanting to shout at Luo Hao: "Come! Take this hit, and from now on we're friends!"
Honestly, building friendship doesn't always have to be with smiles — helping the other get pregnant is also fine.
Hikigaya shot like lightning toward a spot in the storm.
The debris swept by the fierce wind — even the smallest could be used as a battering ram in ancient times.
However, when close to Hikigaya, they were shredded into dust-sized particles, then pushed aside by his wind.
Luo Hao's graceful figure appeared before Hikigaya.
But she didn't look very surprised or disappointed; instead, she wore an expression of secret tax evasion... oh no, pleasure.
"Not bad, I have to praise you! To find my trail so quickly."
The beautiful Eastern leader laughed like a silver bell, and Hikigaya understood that this laugh was like a world-ending one.
Ah, I am trying to help you get pregnant, but do you have to be this happy?
Tsk, tsk, such passion, must be really tough for her to hold back.
Hikigaya thought silently as his hand blade stabbed toward Luo Hao's abdomen.
"Want to touch me? Courageous, but whether you can manage it, we'll see." Luo Hao seemed to have no intention to dodge.
In fact, until now, Hikigaya had never seen her dodge once.
The next moment, her hands were already ahead of his.
One hand grabbed Hikigaya's wrist, the other threw out a dazzling series of heavy palm shadows, raining down on Hikigaya.
Each of Luo Hao's palm shadows was solid, with extremely condensed cursed power.
Hikigaya had used similar techniques with the Phantom Hands of the Fist Demon God, very familiar with them.
Moreover, judging by the time difference in their paths of God Slayer cultivation, he knew it was best not to compete in pure combat skill with Luo Hao. That was her strongest point, and her trump cards were completely unknown to him.
Therefore, Hikigaya responded with phantoms as well.
The next moment, the shadow standing still was smashed to pieces by Luo Hao's palm.
But Luo Hao also used phantoms, and instantly the sky was filled with both their images, chasing and attacking each other.
But superficially, it looked like Hikigaya was at a disadvantage, since all the broken phantoms were his.
To this, Hikigaya could only say — nonsense, I'm telling you, my "a full dozen big chubby boy's hands" cannot be wasted on phantoms!
Like Luo Hao, Hikigaya was searching for her true body. The difference was Luo Hao wanted to stun him with a front slap, while he wanted to strike a powerful wave from behind.
But in this situation, Hikigaya had no choice but to listen to Luo Hao's old-fashioned arrogant declaration again.
"The person who let my clothes get dust on them is rare in this world. But you succeeded."
Luo Hao's voice came from all directions. No choice — there were her images everywhere.
"That Salvatore something, that stubborn British kid, all three demons in the past decade accomplished this difficult task, and I, sister, am very happy!"
What does that have to do with me?
Hikigaya thought.
Clearly, the dust was Luo Hao's own doing; at most, they had mutually canceled out their wind powers. He would never take the blame for that.
"Enough..." Hikigaya whispered, and with another power of Seth, accompanied by destructive wind, suddenly launched.
In Luo Hao's eyes, his real body disappeared completely, so thoroughly that even she could not detect or find him.
"Interesting." Luo Hao's beautiful eyes widened slightly.
Hikigaya's surprise to her was more than expected.
The progress was so obvious; clearly he had been inspired by her.
The previous two, although also inspired by her in battle, did not change this much.
It seemed this young king might be of the same type as her.
If he was her brother, Luo Hao would be very pleased. But now obviously he was not.
He must be Luo Hao's brother! Only then could that disgrace and gratitude be settled.
Luo Hao smiled.
It reminded her of the pets in the mountains, the same process at the start, but now all very cute.
Pets or children, initially always disobedient, but no problem.
Just like her master, whose martial skill was not outstanding, once said — good kids are made by beating!
"I didn't expect you to be such a promising young man. I don't know how many kings there are now, but the only one both wise and brave is me, Luo Hao. But maybe you can be my successor."
The smile bloomed again on Luo Hao's face, her small mouth slightly upturned, red lips slightly parted.
"But now you need good guidance. Next, you shall fully experience my powers and ultimate skills!"
This time, not wind.
An energy similar to a shockwave burst from Luo Hao's body.
This shock indiscriminately swept through all around her, then suddenly disappeared in one place.
"This still won't do..." With a sigh,
Hikigaya materialized, using his power to calm down her shockwave, he already knew his sneaky entrance and powerful gun plan had failed.
Luo Hao's powers were very comprehensive. Maybe not as many as Voban's, but after years of accumulation, still perfectly able to respond to any situation.
In a way, time is indeed an effective measure of battle strength among God Slayers, though not absolute.
A God Slayer with enough years truly has no weak spots left in combat.
With a sound of breaking the void, Luo Hao's attack arrived.
It was a single finger, pointing straight at Hikigaya.
Hikigaya leapt back, but as he watched that thin, long finger, like a freshly sprouted bamboo shoot tip after rain, coming closer and closer, his heart lamented his friendship-pregnancy punch.
Damn! Such a great skill, why can't I use it?!
