"Whoosh—"
The sound of air breaking rang out, and as they passed each other again, Suzy's slender hand lifted slightly, and the bamboo hat on her head turned into a glow, shooting towards him.
Swift as a meteor, powerful and heavy.
Samuel's mouth curved slightly, and he grabbed the bamboo hat with one hand, turning his body to dissipate the force.
Immediately after, he put the bamboo hat on his own head.
"Giving it to me?" Samuel asked with a smile.
Suzy snorted, stretched her hand forward, moved her right foot back, touched the ground with her toe, and gently drew a circle.
Starting stance, swaying!
A gentle breeze suddenly arose, and the bamboo leaves on the ground began to sway and dance with her movements.
"Beautiful!"
Samuel secretly praised, leaped high, and directly smashed down with a punch.
Suzy's eyes were fixed, her expression calm, and her slender jade-like hand precisely grabbed Samuel's wrist the moment his fist smashed down.
Using force to counter force!
Not only did she neutralize Samuel's strength, but like Tai Chi, she pulled Samuel's arm, making him sway involuntarily with her movements.
Swaying posture, eyes meeting.
There was no fierceness in Suzy's eyes, and no panic in Samuel's eyes.
Bodies close together, eyes locked, for a moment there was an indescribable atmosphere flowing between them.
Suzy frowned slightly and exerted force, wanting to throw Samuel away, but Samuel grabbed her wrist back and used a move similar to the 'Thousand Catty Drop', not only failing to be thrown away but instead pulling Suzy towards him.
"Clap!"
Suzy swung a punch, but it was caught by Samuel again.
Their four hands were not idle.
Suzy kicked upwards, but was blocked back by Samuel using his knee.
Several thudding sounds.
Their lower bodies, like iron horses and hard bridges, exchanged several blows.
"Let go!" Suzy exerted force to break free and shouted in a sweet voice.
"Okay!"
Samuel responded and let go, but in Suzy's surprised moment, he immediately turned sideways and charged forward.
Bajiquan's famous technique, Iron Mountain Lean!
Suzy recognized it and, slightly flustered, stacked her hands together, and the Dragon Force immediately circulated.
A faint smile flashed in Samuel's eyes, and then—
"Bang!"
Suzy was sent flying, landing a few meters away, and stumbled back several steps before stopping.
"Dragon Force!"
"Why do You have Dragon Force?!"
Suzy's eyes widened, and she questioned Samuel in disbelief.
Samuel chuckled nonchalantly, "Didn't You say You didn't care who I was?"
"Hmph!"
Suzy snorted in shame and anger, charging straight over, her long fist whistling towards him.
Samuel didn't dodge, evade, or block, and also threw a punch.
Their fists collided, the Dragon Force erupted, and golden energy light instantly shone from their fists, forming a clashing energy wave!
"Retreat!"
Samuel lightly shouted, and the evenly matched situation instantly disintegrated. His Dragon Force surged, sending Suzy flying out again.
"Bang!"
Suzy hit a tree, let out a muffled groan, and fell heavily to the ground.
"You lost!"
Suzy was just about to get up, supporting herself with her hands, when she saw Samuel standing in front of her, extending his hand with a smile.
Bamboo Forest, gentle breeze, sunlight, a smile—this scene made Suzy feel slightly dazed.
I lost?
Suzy unconsciously took Samuel's hand to get up, and then snorted and let go.
"Even if I lost, I won't let You into the village."
Samuel chuckled indifferently, "One day You will bring me in."
Suzy looked at Samuel and asked with a probing, puzzled look, "Why do You have Dragon Force?"
"I got it from Your son."
"My son? Nonsense! Where would I get a son?!" Suzy cursed in shame and anger.
You don't have one now, but that doesn't mean You won't have one in the future, nor does it mean You don't have one in other Worlds or other timelines! Samuel responded inwardly, thinking of Zombie Sanji from the Zombie Universe.
Zombie Sanji had already obtained the Dragon Force and the Ten Rings, which meant that Suzy and Wen in the Zombie Universe might already be dead?
He just didn't know if Taro Village had fallen.
Oh, and there's Sanji's sister, Xu Xialing. She's also a talent.
When he went back to the Zombie Universe, he should go to Tuke and take a look!
Divine Dragon and Soul-Devouring Monster, they wouldn't turn into Zombie Divine Dragon and Zombie Soul-Devouring Monster, right?
"Tell me, how exactly did You get the Dragon Force!" Suzy snorted and pressed the question.
Samuel shrugged, "Beat me, and I'll tell You!"
"Okay!"
Immediately, Suzy was about to make a move again.
Samuel smiled and waved his hand, "Wait a moment, have You eaten lunch?"
"No, I haven't."
"Then let's eat first before fighting!"
Saying that, Samuel turned and looked towards the edge of the Bamboo Forest, gently waving his palm.
In an instant.
Wind magic directly cut down a patch of green bamboo...
Not only that, but these bamboos were also neatly cut into almost the same size.
Piles upon piles, neatly stacked.
Suzy frowned in surprise and asked, "What are You doing?"
"That should be enough."
Samuel glanced at the bamboo pile getting higher and higher and winked at Suzy.
Immediately after, the bamboo poles strangely floated up, landed on the nearby open space by themselves, and automatically started building.
The bamboo poles flew in an orderly manner, and in just a few minutes, a bamboo house took shape in front of the two of them.
Suzy looked at the bamboo house in disbelief; it was the first time she had seen a house built like this!
A rumbling sound woke her from her shock; the ground beneath her feet seemed to tremble slightly.
Then, she saw a stone table and several stone chairs appear in front of the bamboo house.
The bamboo house, the stone table—all of this left Suzy amazed.
"You were letting me win just now?" Suzy looked at Samuel with a complex expression.
She was confident, but not arrogant.
Whether it was the Dragon Force that was stronger than her own, or the bamboo house and stone table built with a wave of his hand, it all indicated that in the recent fight, he hadn't gone all out at all.
Samuel raised an eyebrow, smiling as he asked, "Scared?"
Suzy shook her head: "Not scared, I just don't understand. You—you're not like the others who come here, so eager to enter Tuke."
Samuel shrugged: "Most people who want to enter Tuke are instigated by the Soul-Devouring Monster, wanting to release it, right?"
"It's not these people who are anxious, it's the Soul-Devouring Monster!"
"You know the Soul-Devouring Monster?" Suzy was very surprised, and at the same time, she became more curious about him.
"I know a lot more." Samuel smiled: "Wait for me here, I'll be back soon."
Just as Suzy was about to speak, Samuel vanished with a whoosh.
About half an hour later, after visiting the bamboo house and sitting at the stone table, Suzy suddenly heard a whooshing sound.
"I'm back."
Samuel carried a delicate food box and placed it on the table, opening it with a smile and taking out the contents one by one.
"Try the taste, how is it? By the way, you don't have any dietary restrictions, do you?"
Suzy subconsciously shook her head: "No, I eat everything."
"Alright then!"
Samuel handed the chopsticks to Suzy and sat down opposite her.
Suzy, holding the chopsticks, felt a bit confused, feeling like something wasn't quite right...
