Joining Hands Before a Common Foe

Within her chambers, Yvonne sat crossed-legged, solidifying her drastic cultivation boost with her eyes shut-close. But as soon as Konrad stepped in, her eyes opened and locked onto him. Seeing him, her lips curled into a smile, and she stood up.

Then, without warning, she flew at him with a punch!

*BAM*

Undisturbed, Konrad blocked it with his left forearm, the smile he wore unchanged.

In a flash, she assailed him with hundreds of blows which he blocked without effort.

Yvonne then raised her knee, slamming it toward Konrad's abdomen, but he stopped it within his right palm, then knocked off her fist to grab her by the waist, while holding her thigh within his right hand.

"Astounding reflexes, astounding speed, astounding flesh. I didn't expect I'd fall so far behind."

Yvonne appraised with a contented smile.

"What can I say? When even destiny is on your side, rapid progress is a must. From now on, you'll have to work extra hard."
