Chapter 921: Learning From Each Other



Shortly after Valefor gave up resisting the spar, he immediately focused all his attention on besting Vaan in every close combat exchange.

He was someone who had lived for tens of thousands of years. The accumulation of battle experience shouldn't be something Vaan could compare with.

As such, how could he lose when their powers were equal?

Moreover, his body was a True Divinity-level treasure with indestructible defense to those below it. As such, he didn't need to care about defense at all; he could go all out on attack to overwhelm Vaan.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

However, was that really what he wanted?

Although Vaan truly ruffled his feathers the wrong way, Valefor didn't want to beat him in such a crude manner. A victory that relied on simply brute strength couldn't really be called a victory if he lost in other aspects, such as fighting techniques and skills.

No, even if he won that way, he would still feel like he had lost; it would leave a sour taste in his mouth.

Furthermore, his pride wouldn't allow it; he had to beat Vaan with finesse.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The sky reverberated with powerful shockwaves as Vaan and Valefor clashed fist against fist and body against energy.

Despite being restricted to the same level of strength, Valefor was surprisingly forced back in every exchange. Such an outcome forced him to re-evaluate the situation and his opponent's strength.

How was he losing when their strengths were equal?

What was the problem?

After several dozen rounds of exchange, Valefor eventually understood where his problem was He might have countless years of battle experience, but it was with his original body.

Now that he was using the body of the Primordial Avatar, while it was superior in every way, he had not completely mastered control of its movements.

There were minor discrepancies in each of his movements.

It was also precisely these minor discrepancies that eventually led to a large deficiency in his final attack.

Even though his unparalleled thought-processing speed greatly helped in selecting specific battle techniques in certain situations, there was still a small window of delay; he had yet to achieve muscle memory.

Sometimes, too much knowledge was a burden.

Having too many battle techniques would increase the thought-processing period in determining the best one to use in each scenario.

As a result, even a minuscule moment of hesitation could lead to instant defeat.

Vaan knew what he was lacking.

Unparalleled learning did not equal unparalleled experience. Unparalleled learning only helped to acquire unparalleled experience sooner.

In front of a battle fiend like Valefor, their technical differences were easily made clear. Valefor had long achieved the state of muscle memory. He did not need to think when fighting; his battle techniques flowed naturally like river water and without pause. Nevertheless, after Valefor mastered control of his body, his battle techniques also gained fluidity. He was able to add minute changes to remove rigidness and create the element of surprise and unpredictability.

In other words, he had surpassed the realm of muscle memory and reached the realm of

minute subtlety.

Even when Vaan predicted Valefor's choice of battle techniques and its attack path, a slight deviation of a few degrees in angle was enough for Valefor's attack to slip through his

defense.

That was how he suffered his first hit to Valefor.

"Interesting." Vaan smiled and said, "You won't be so lucky next time. You should relish the

moment while you still can."

"Was it just luck? We shall see," Valefor grinned.

What should have been a vengeful fight on Valefor's part turned into a wonderful exchange of

battle knowledge.

Not only was Valefor learning from Vaan, but Vaan was also learning from Valefor.

An unusual sense of friendship and tacit understanding was quickly formed between them.
