Chapter 137: The Golden Box

But when she saw David insisted on the question and remained firm, she reluctantly responded. "There would be no point in this training if I revolved my blood to fight those feeble Evolved beast and mutants?" 

But then, she was suddenly reminded of something. She glared at him intently as she vanished into the dense jungle. 

David stood in a daze as he breathed deeply, struggling to calm himself and his other self down, he was totally hooked, there was no way to escape from her charm. Gazing softly at her receeding beautiful figure. 

Although he still wasn't aware of what the hell was happening to him every time he saw the girl, he was visible relieved to find out that he wasn't the only one to feel that way. It seems the connection goes both ways. 

And he had made some speculations regarding what was happening but still, he placed it at the back of his mind, as the thought wasn't logical. 

With a frown on his face he remembered her words, and he mumbled to himself. "How do you even fight without circulating the blood?" 'isn't that just courting death?'

Concern flashed in his eyes as he glanced at the path which Lyster had gone. Before he went deep into contemplation. 

Although his body was strong enough to deal with some of the Evolved beast in the forest, without revolving his blood, his reaction speed would be reduced by almost 80%.

His strength and speed would also be reduced to a mere 10%. And more importantly, he would be unable to perform any technique. Be it the Formless Heat, scorching fury, Cyclonic Kick he would be unable to perform them which would spell quite the trouble for him.

Also, his stamina would instantly be cut to around 20% without the circulation of blood to replenish his stamina , he might as well be an ordinary human. 

Although, if he was cautious he might be able to pull it off but there remains the possibility that in this part of the forest, one could die unexpectedly. His strength without propelling his blood would only be two to three times the strength of the most powerful body builder on earth. 

But such strength was still considered weak in this world. 

Moreover, he didn't see the point in using only his physical strength to fight when he could just circulate his blood and fight.

Unless there is some type of secret involved otherwise it was quite meaningless to fight without circulating one's blood. David's eyes radiated and he recalled that Lyster was a bit reluctant to answer his question but she eventually caved in. 

What David didn't know was that the information was very valuable and she hadn't gotten it for free either. Nevertheless, she still told David about it. 

As it requires some type of technique or gadget to slow the flow of blood, she didn't think David would have access to such techniques nor gadget. 

But she was wrong, with David's ability, slowing down his blood circulation was still within his capability. 

Suddenly, David held his head as he hissed. "The headache is coming again." 

Frowning, he stopped thinking about it and he then remembered something. 

Removing the bagpack from his bag, David took out the compass gadget after which, he activated it immediately projecting a 3D holographic arrow, pointing rapidly at three locations. 

One at the location Lyster had gone while the other two, pointed at a complete opposite directions. 

David blinked his eyes as he mumbled "The sun rise in East and set in the west." suddenly, he shook his head. 

"No, no. The sun rise in the west and set in the east." he suddenly paused. And he indifferently glanced around his surroundings, seeing as no one was there, he sighed softly. 

"Whatever!" he chose one of the other two direction which was the direction Lyster didn't pass as his figure sped through the trees like a jaguar. 

Although he desperately wanted to see her again, he knew it wasn't time for that yet. He didn't want to push his luck further incase it backfired. 

She was the prideful type, she might just decide to sever things between them if she was pushed further and there was also the possibility that she might just cave in and give in to their feelings. 

But David cared way too much, he didn't want to risk that chance at all. 

Picking a random direction, he vanished, swiftly making his way past the jungle.

Phyllida's movements was smooth and quick, in just a few seconds, she had made her way towards the golden box. 

She was like a parkour grandmaster as she swiftly jumped from the top of one building to the other. 

Her Exercising Method mainly focused on speed, paralysis and hypnosis. 

The Brown Grade technique even had its own specific Motion technique and combat technique which Phyllida had all practiced to the second state. 

She was like a butterfly as she fleeted to and fro from one building to another, using her motion technique. 

Although Aella's strength might be on par with Phyllida, but the motion technique she practiced was entirely different from what Phyllida practiced. 

While Phyllida's motion technique placed evasiveness and flexibility as its main focus after which, speed comes next.

Aella's motion technique mainly focused on speed while it placed its evasive maneuver as its lowest point. 

Thus, such techniques was useless at this moment. Speed doesn't equal flexibility. It was impossible for her to speed her way to the top of the tower. 

As soon as she reached th top of the tower, Phyllida didn't hesitate as she instantly placed her imprint on the golden box. 

Aella slowed down her pace as she stared expressionlessly at Phyllida. 

She had knew something was wrong with her suggestion but she wasn't quite sure what it was but now, she could now confirm that she and the rest of the students had been played right into Phyllida's palm. 

Her eyes flashed with a cold look as she gazed at the beautiful ebony skinned lady saving her imprint on the golden box. 

But suddenly, a beautiful smile grazed her lips. Things wouldn't end this easily.
