Chapter 294: Getting Beaten Makes People Progress

During this process, Yuan Zhuoyue was also constantly absorbing combat-related knowledge from Morax through words and deeds.

And she soon made great progress. Of course, she was not able to fight Morax on equal terms. After all, she was just a novice.

It would be faster to dream about being able to fight Morax on equal terms, although he was indeed in a dream at this moment.

Yuan Zhuoyue’s biggest progress now is that when Morax attacks, he knows which direction to run.

This is of course a huge improvement. The way to dodge and the route to escape are both very important. Once there is a mistake, it will not be a way to escape from the predicament, but a way to fall into the trap of the enemy.

After being beaten countless times, Yuan Zhuoyue can now roughly start with Morax. Before making an attack, he can roughly guess his subsequent moves and make a reasonable response.

But even so, after such a long time and so many beatings, Yuan Zhuoyue still couldn't run far under Morax's hands, and was beaten to the ground again.

But the ultimate reason is not that Yuan Zhuoyue has not made any progress despite being beaten so many times.

It was because, although she now knew that Morax was going to hit her, she could even predict how Morax was going to hit her.

But instead of using the power in his body to fight Morax with brute force, he used the immortal magic that he taught.

Yuan Zhuoyue's body's reactions could never keep up with her brain, although her escape was quite smooth.

But once the time came to fight Morax with magic, even after being beaten for such a long time, she already understood what kind of magic to use depending on the situation.

However, when performing the techniques, there was always a sense of sluggishness. It was not because he had not mastered these techniques as he had used them many times.

Instead, when she was facing an attack and had to mobilize the power in her body, the power did not flow according to the basis of the magic at the very first moment of its operation.

That was exactly the case before she accepted Morax's teachings on how to use her own power, so it was running in her body in the simplest, crudest and easiest way to release.

Whenever such a situation occurred, Yuan Zhuoyue had to spend some time adjusting the trajectory of the flowing power in his body so that he could cast those spells smoothly in an appropriate manner.

Although she is now quite skilled at this, it only takes a few breaths of time to calm the surging power and guide it into the way she wants.

But it was just these few breaths of time that were enough for Morax to pin her to the ground and beat her a thousand times.

Yuan Zhuoyue actually discovered this problem at the beginning, and she really wanted to correct it, but when she tried to implement it, she found that the situation was extremely difficult.

Even after being beaten so many times, and despite Yuan Zhuoyue's efforts to correct herself, she was not able to successfully correct this habit which was just a habit she had developed since she gained those extraordinary powers.

Yuan Zhuoyue felt like he was facing some chronic illness. When he was fully focused at the last moment, he was able to successfully suppress this minor illness.

But the next moment, just as her body and mind relaxed a little, the chronic disease relapsed again and entangled her tightly.

...Habit is a terrible thing.

Yuan Zhuoyue found that after trying for a long time, he was unable to change this bad habit, and he couldn't help feeling a little discouraged.

Once again, because of the same problem, he missed the opportunity to escape and was shot by Morax, who was holding a spear.

Yuan Zhuoyue was whipped flying and rolled on the ground for several rounds. He closed his eyes and covered his face, lying motionless in this place that seemed even more desolate and dilapidated because of their fight.

Not long after, Yuan Zhuoyue, who was lying on the ground, heard a steady sound of footsteps approaching her slowly.

Yuan Zhuoyue was very familiar with such footsteps. Even though she was trapped in her broken body, she still acted in a very steady and measured manner, exuding a steady and calm Morax.

Although Yuan Zhuoyue did not get up from the ground immediately, he opened his eyes and removed his hands that were covering his face.

Then he looked directly at Morax who had already stood beside him, and said weakly: "... Let me take it easy for a while, I'm a little tired, wait for me to rest for a while, okay?"

Yuan Zhuoyue really felt tired. Using his power so frequently not only consumed his energy, but the result of his success was just blocking one round of Morax's attack.

But the result of failure was that he was pressed to the ground by Morax, who was now trapped in this pale and thin body.

Yuan Zhuoyue had rubbed his hands on the ground many times, but was still making the same mistake. The habit he developed from mobilizing his strength now seemed to have become an instinct engraved in his genes.

She couldn't give in at all, and successfully broke free from the vicious circle of this strange 'habit'.

Then, time and again, without noticing, the same oversight occurred and the same mistakes were made again.

Yuan Zhuoyue now fully understands what it means that a rotten tree cannot be carved and what it means that a piece of mud cannot be propped up against a wall. The more he thinks about it, the angrier he gets.

But I heard Morax, breathing evenly, speaking in a calm and gentle voice, "...We'll stop here for today."

Yuan Zhuoyue, who was annoyed by his own situation, said angrily: "I'm not tired! I can still continue!"

Seeing her excited and motivated, Morax replied calmly, "...Everything should be done in moderation. You don't have to be too anxious. Compared to the initial results, the results are now very different. There is no need to force yourself to get a result today."

Seeing the change in Yuan Zhuoyue's expression, Morax added slowly, "Moreover... your body has reached its limit. If you continue, those temporarily calmed, already unstable forces may get out of control again, causing some irreversible damage to your body."
