At the same time, Olivia kicked toward Kael’s calf. Taking advantage of Kael’s unstable lower stance, she instantly pulled him down.
Kael showed no mercy, immediately flipping backward in midair, delivering a kick toward Olivia’s head.
Olivia seemed to sense it coming, raising her hand to block the kick. The two switched positions and instantly began grappling at close range.
In a blind fight, grappling was an effective means to render the opponent incapable of resistance.
Olivia, experienced and skilled, made it difficult for Kael to break free with her wrist and neck locking techniques.
But Kael, though lacking in experience, had a fierce determination that far exceeded ordinary people.
He endured the pain and forcefully counter-grappled, using his slight strength advantage to break Olivia’s neck lock, immediately executing a wrestling move on her.
Olivia, nimble in movement, effortlessly performed a midair side flip to escape Kael’s hold and adjusted her position, grabbing Kael’s right hand and countering with a throw.

Kael quickly responded with a side flip to evade, crouched down, and executed a sweeping kick, causing Olivia to fall backward.
He immediately followed up, punching in the direction of the sound, then quickly switching to a grappling move, trying to restrain Olivia.
But Olivia got up and broke free first, then grabbed Kael’s right arm with both hands moving downward and locking it.
Kael retaliated with a scorpion kick to Olivia’s shoulder and immediately got up to counter.
As Olivia attempted to further restrict his movements, Kael forcefully performed a backflip to break free, moved forward swiftly, and controlled Olivia from behind.
Olivia was briefly startled, feeling his hand reaching an area that no one had ever touched before. That moment of hesitation cost her the opportunity to counterattack, allowing Kael to restrain her from behind.
This kid, he’s really strong... Can he lift and shake me around without any problem?
A mischievous image flashed through Olivia’s mind. Her eyes instantly turned cold as she broke free from Kael’s hold with an elbow strike, then quickly followed up after throwing Kael.
After Kael hit the ground, he immediately flipped over and kicked up. As Olivia reached out to grab his legs, he quickly trapped Olivia on the ground.
Though Olivia was pinned down, she had pre-calculated her position, and before hitting the ground, her right hand locked around Kael’s neck while her legs were restrained.
Olivia released her grip, and Kael also relinquished his control.
The outcome was evident.
Before Kael could remove the slime strips from his face, Olivia had already adjusted her clothes at record speed and teased Kael with a smile:
"For someone your age to have such rich combat experience, it’s quite rare."
Kael shook his head and said, "A loss is a loss. If we had fought all out, I could have shattered your knee just now, but you would have ripped out my throat before that."
That fight had been tough for Olivia, but it was indeed a priceless training match.
Throughout the fight, Olivia had almost exclusively used straightforward techniques, eschewing any flashy maneuvers and even employing some combat abilities she had learned from other players.
Such rich yet unpretentious combat experience might seem ordinary, but only someone who had faced her like Kael could understand how formidable it was.
Honestly, if it weren’t for the inherent disadvantages women have against men, giving Kael a slight edge, this fight would’ve been decided from the start.
"You’re ultimately not a close combat specialist. Pursuing simple yet effective kill moves in close combat is correct.
Your performance today has far exceeded my expectations, surpassing my predictions. With close combat skills alone, you’re nearly at the level of your shameless teacher."
Olivia was delighted, speaking with a light and cheerful tone.
Kael felt a moment of vertigo hearing this.
What does she mean by "nearly at the level of your shameless teacher"? If Mr. Luxius heard this, he’d undoubtedly complain about the unfairness and drag me into a few duels.
"Olivia, who exactly are you?" Kael asked curiously, glancing at the woman.
In all honesty, Kael had a pretty clear understanding of his close combat skills.
At the lowest level, it was just like today with Olivia, grappling and blind fighting without using any magic techniques, purely relying on physical prowess for close combat.
Next up, by using the Magic Silk Thread to greatly enhance flexibility and agility, combined with close combat skills, it was about 2-3 times better than the previous level.
And if he went a step further, using all kinds of Magic and Divine Arts without restraint, his close combat skills would multiply 5-7 times based on the previous level. Explore stories at freewebnovel
It could be said to be downright terrifying.
Of course, this wasn’t to belittle Olivia; on the contrary, this woman was incredibly strong.
