Arrogand Jealousy

  Bang bang bang bang!

  Yavanna fired both guns simultaneously, but Li Aozzi's movements were ghostly. The moment she lifted her wrist, Li Aozzi anticipated where she would aim aly sidestepped her shots.

  Gravity drive.

  At the same time, the iron in his hand swung like a bck serpent, swiftly spinning and dang in the air.

  Crack—

  Yavanna's eyes narrowed, and she stopped firing just in time.

  She quickly realized that the rapidly whirling around Li Aozzi would deflect bullets. Instead of wasting ammunition, she decided to wait for an opportunity.

  The fleeting moment of battle passed, and Li Aozzi silently praised her for being smart. Uhe influence of the gravity field, the moved in a circur motion.

  Normally, the 's whip effect would transfer energy through each liually reag the increasingly smaller tip, where it could exceed the speed of sound.

  But that wasn't enough.

  With the gravity field's enha, Li Aozzi's grey eyes lit up with golden rings.

  He skillfully applied the gravity field solely to the . As the 's end swung out, he instantly ged its dire, increasing the gravity and acceleration. The 's tip instantly exceeded four times the speed of sound!

  Whoosh!

  The soni was crisp and pleasant, creating a white mist in the air that quickly dispersed. Yavanna, her aut, rolled to the ground, avoiding the fierce strike. The high-speed fri caused the to glow red as it ly sliced open a seam in the car's roof.

  Opportunity!

  Ohe long was deployed, retrag it became extremely troublesome. Yavanna k on one kepping on the with her boot, raising her left hand to aim her gun at Li Aozzi.

  Buzz—ding!

  Li Aozzi nontly tilted his head, the bullet grazing his ear. Trying to shoot accurately while standing on a moving vehicle was wishful thinking.

  "Good bat awareness, but g experience."

  If it were pyers, they would quickly realize that fighting a gravity-powered mutant wasn't as effective with guns.

  Whether it was she maneuverability or tering flying projectiles, gravity powers were incredibly useful.

  If Li Aozzi wanted, he could use gravity to lift his oppo's arm, leaving it stuck above their head.

  Or he could reverse the gravity, making the female agent fly backward like a kite.

  As for bullets, arrows, and spears, Li Aozzi could simply alter the gravity, making them curve around him.

  Of course, if someone used certain hypersonic ons, he'd have no ter. His current trol ravity wasn't developed enough to deflect such high-speed projectiles.

  The best way to deal with a gravity user was to close the distand engage in close bat. A warrior could activate their super armor and unch a bo attack; it was either kill or be killed.

  Clearly, this female agent cked the experiend awareness for such tactics.

  Li Aozzi casually twisted his wrist, the gravity pulling the to around her ankle like a venomous snake.

  "Huh?!"

  With a shift in gravity and a pull of his wrist, the would sever her foot at 700 meters per sed.

  It was luck after all...

  Her performance disappointed Li Aozzi. He thought he had met an equal in skill.

  B. Time to kill.

  Li Aozzi quickly twisted his wrist, the snapping back. But at that moment, Yavanna lifted her ankle, slipping her foot out of the boot, and instantly shot herself three times.

  Oo the head, two to the chest, a textbook Mozambique drill.

  Bang.

  Li Aozzi caught the boot with one hand, while the gravity deflected the three bullets away.

  A slight ge in acceleration made it nearly impossible for projectiles to hit him. For a novice, overing the instinct to dodge and fully trusting one's powers was challenging.

  But this girl—was she just lucky, or did she have real talent?

  Li Aozzi couldn't say for sure.

  He looked up at the green-haired, gold-green-eyed beauty, uo ect her to any signifit character.

  "Not bad, quite talented."

  Li Aozzi remarked nontly, noting her bck-stoged leg stepping on the car's edge. He tossed the boot back.

  Plop.

  The boot nded in front of her, swaying in the wind.

  Yavanna remained unfazed, holding her ground with caution. Li Aozzi's attitude was uable; he had shown himself to be ruthless, with no shame in using sneak attacks.

  "You don't trust me? I uand."

  Li Aozzi shrugged, turning his back to her.

  He knew her gun was empty. The Beretta Pt93 held o rounds, and she'd used them all in their brief skirmish.

  Seeing him turn away, Yavanna quickly slipped on her boot, lunging forward with a flying kick aimed at Li Aozzi.

  Whoosh—k!

  Li Aozzi had already anticipated her move, retrag the to form a shield on his arm. He turned and blocked the kick.

  Bang!

  Yavanna's kick was a feint. She nded, zipped up her boot, and used her gun as a melee on to jab at Li Aozzi's abdomen.

  Click!

  Intrigued, Li Aozzi stepped on her pale wrist, then kneed her .

  Yavanna flipped mid-air, evading his krike, and as she nded, Li Aozzi aimed a straight kick at her.

  Bang!

  She crossed her arms to block, then hooked his leg, attempting ahe-shoulder throw into an armbar.

  Li Aozzi flipped over her shoulder unharmed, rolling to his feet. Using his height advantage, he pried her legs apart, breaking the armbar attempt. Both rolled away, disengaging.

  Whew—

  Both stumbled, gng down: Li Aozzi's ankle rested on the windshield, nearly losing his bance.

  Yavanna's leg dangled precariously, almost causio fall.

  Li Aozzi straightened up, his i piqued.

  Yavanna steadied herself, aware that fighting atop a speeding car meant a single misstep could be fatal.

  She swung a hook at his face, which he dodged, stepping forward to shoulder check her.

  Thud—

  A dull impact as she blocked with her elbow, grounding herself. Li Aozzi shifted, striking her face with the back of his hand like a snake's bite.

  Yavanna ducked, pulling him into a d twisting to drive her gun into his kidney.

  "Nice!"

  Li Aozzi's eyes gleamed, gripping her wrist and twisting it forward and back, dislog it. Yavanna's face twisted in pain. She, shorter by two heads, used her leg to jab at his ihigh.
