Frequency—the frequency of this guy's movements, who only looks at women's appearances, told David Parker that he was no ordinary person. He clearly possessed profound martial arts skills. The stability and precision of each move were far more important than the speed and power that laymen focus on. This is also why true masters can always remain calm and composed, handling intense fights with ease and grace. That's why, even though Henry Clark had the upper hand in every aspect at the time, he still ended up utterly humiliated by David Parker, losing all his prestige.

Chinese martial arts, with all their ancient origins, really come down to three sources: the ritual dances of ancient shamanism, the ascetic practices of ancient religions, and the individual combat skills developed for the battlefield.

David Parker's habits led him to focus his study of ancient martial arts on practical combat, not fitness. So he placed great emphasis on the lethal efficiency of ancient martial arts—striking to draw blood, killing in a single blow. His training was mostly oriented in that direction.

When facing off, Grace Thompson adopted a rhythmic bounce, ready to strike at any moment. David Parker, on the other hand, used stillness to control movement, paying more attention to personal mental cultivation.

David Parker's instantaneous movement was a unique skill—an excellent technique for defensive counterattacks. Seizing on the slightest flaw in an opponent's attack, he could launch a devastating counterstrike. This required not only speed that could surpass the opponent in an instant, but also exceptional psychological composure—remaining calm in the face of danger. This couldn't be achieved by nature or imagination alone; it had to be honed through repeated real-life experience and the test of crisis.

Movement versus stillness—naturally, Emily Bolton made the first move. David Parker's calm demeanor let Emily Bolton know that she couldn't win a battle of nerves.

David Parker didn't know who she was, but that didn't mean Emily Bolton knew nothing about David Parker. Although everyone in Sanxitang was a die-hard fan of ancient martial arts, there were still differences in their levels.

David Parker was quite well-known in Sanxitang. The title "Sonic Overlord" was carried over directly from his exploits in extreme speed sports. Rumor had it that if David Parker fused with a bio-parasite, he could become one of the top ten masters in Sanxitang within two or three years.

Naturally, Emily Bolton was extremely unconvinced by this, and David Parker always used his real appearance as his virtual avatar, making him easy to recognize. This fight breaking out might very well have been the result of her deliberate provocation.

Even though David Parker was fully focused, the constantly leaping girl still vanished from her sight in an instant.

So fast—

Although there was no time, David Parker couldn't help but marvel.

Eight Directions Linked—Instant Consecutive Burst!

David Parker couldn't react in time to movements that surpassed her senses. She could only rely on her quick decision-making to deal with such rapid attacks, constantly changing position. David Parker's decision was absolutely correct—she launched a targeted attack in the most likely direction. Countering attack with attack was always David Parker's style.

Just as David Parker expected, when she felt a sharp pain in her shoulder, the strong sensation in her hand let her know that taking that hit wasn't for nothing.

Ah!

The two separated. Emily Bolton rubbed her lower abdomen, her interest in David Parker growing. Her delicate hands opened, and a faint blue energy wave appeared between them.

‘Tsk, this doesn't look good.’

David Parker had only fused with the bio-parasite today, but seeing Emily Bolton so easily unleash such a powerful energy fluctuation, she must be at least two or three years older—otherwise, there was no way she could wield energy so skillfully. This level of difference meant David Parker's chances of victory could only be described as slim.

Knowing her opponent was far beyond the likes of Henry Clark, the intimidation tactics she used before would be useless now. David Parker was straightforward—she raised both hands high and shrugged, indicating surrender.

If the opponent didn't accept, David Parker was ready to leave. After all, the other party couldn't possibly chase her from virtual space into reality. As for settling the score, there would be plenty of chances in the future.

Emily Bolton saw David Parker's body language and didn't press further. With a casual wave, she carved a deep trench several centimeters wide and over a hundred meters long into the ground, then let it go at that.

Thanks to David Parker's disruption, the two men who were supposed to be fighting fiercely in the center of the ancient Roman Colosseum, under the gaze of thousands, also stopped their battle and turned their attention to the sudden turn of events on David Parker's side. Meanwhile, all the virtual people used to set the atmosphere had gradually disappeared.

Watching those virtual people turn to mist, shifting from solid to ethereal and then vanishing, David Parker had no particular thoughts. Using this as an excuse, Emily Bolton also didn't say anything more.

‘Looks like you came to find me. If you have any requests, just ask! Since "Uncle" has already agreed, I won't refuse to help.’

For every "uncle" who likes to act old, there's someone who likes to act young.

The administrator of Sanxitang here who appeared before David Parker was a psychologically twisted person with a virtual appearance of a twelve- or thirteen-year-old boy.

‘What do you like? Just say it!’
