Chapter 1405: Chapter 1405 – Sparring Partner
The Man in the flowery shirt did not lie. Life on the sea was indeed boring most of the time.
After leaving the sea, the cell phone lost its signal, and the whole ship became a closed small world. The time on the ship was infinitely prolonged, and every day seemed to be no different from the previous day. The days were just a meaningless repetition.
The Man in the flowery shirt initially thought that Shen Xixi was just saying it, but he did not expect that she really did not look for any entertainment. Not to mention knocking on his door, after such a long time, she had not even caught a fish once. Many people on the ship did not like her, but Shen Xixi did not seem to take it to heart.
She rarely communicated with others. Every day, she would go to the training room on time for all kinds of training. The Man in the flowery shirt had visited her a few times, but she had to admit that this woman was definitely not a flower vase. She was ruthless enough to herself, whether it was strength training, explosive strength training, or speed training, she trained two to three times more than others. Moreover, she spent several hours in the training room every day to perfect her swordsmanship.
The swordsmanship teacher on the ship was completely convinced by her. She had even tortured him to the point that he was traumatized. He had no choice but to take three days off to recuperate and recover his spirit.
Shen Xixi did not give up on her training. It was just that she had no one to train with. She could only repeatedly swing her sword in front of the mirror and constantly modify her posture. It was obviously a very boring thing, but her expression remained the same, she did not seem to find it boring at all.
However, just as she finished practicing a set of movements, the door of the training room was pushed open from the outside.
Shen Xixi was a little surprised. Under normal circumstances, there would be no one in the swordsmanship training room after nine o’clock at night, so she usually came to practice at this time to avoid getting bored with the others.

The next moment, a set of protective gear was thrown in front of her.
Then, the guy who had already put on a full set of protective gear and wrapped himself tightly said, “Let me practice with you.”
Shen Xixi recognized the voice coming from the man in the flowery shirt under the helmet.
But she did not pick up the protective gear beside her feet. She just wiped the sweat on her forehead and said, “I thought I made myself clear before.”
“I’m not hitting on you,”the man in the flowery shirt interrupted Shen Xixi, “I know that my previous frivolous behavior may have left a bad impression on you, but I’m not an animal that only knows how to think with my lower body. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have been on the boat for so long without bothering you.”
Shen Xixi put away the bamboo sword in her hand and waited for the man in the flowery shirt to continue.
“I just like to have some fun from time to time. This is a matter of mutual consent. Even if you are my mother, you can’t interfere with my private life, right?”The man in the flowery shirt shrugged.
“Then why didn’t you continue to have fun and instead came to practice with me?”Shen Xixi asked.
“Please, do you think I’ve really forgotten the purpose of this voyage? Of course, I also hope to have reliable teammates by my side at the critical moment. Although we barely escaped death this time, it’s always good to increase our chances of survival. Otherwise, why would I accept your application to let you board the ship? Do you really think that I’m jealous of that Dead Guy? Cut the crap and get started!”The Man in the flowery shirt sent out an invitation to battle.
Shen Xixi did not hesitate anymore. She picked up the armor on the ground and put it on. She held the bamboo sword in her hand again, and her aura changed. “Please advise me!”
The man in the flowery shirt felt a huge pressure enveloping him from afar. He finally understood why the sword trainer on the ship had asked for a leave of absence. However, not only was he not afraid, he was even more excited, he licked his lips and said, “Bring It On!”

For the next two weeks, the two of them had been sparring with each other.
The happiest person was none other than the sword trainer on the ship, because he was pleasantly surprised to find that his vacation had been extended and that he had escaped the hell of being a sparring partner. At the same time, he mourned silently for the man in the flowery shirt, because he did not believe that there was really a man in this world who could withstand Shen Xixi’s torture.
But it turned out that the man in the flowery shirt was also a madman who was ruthless enough to himself.
Shen Xixi’s impression of the man in the flowery shirt had indeed improved a lot. In a sense, the flirtatious temperament of the man in the flowery shirt was more like a disguise. If you were deceived by his appearance.., if you really looked down on him because of this, it would be exactly what he wanted, and you would have to pay a painful price.
In the training room, two figures were maintaining high-speed movements. While blocking each other’s attacks, they were also looking for flaws in each other’s moves!
The intensity of the battle had been very high since the beginning. The training clothes had long been drenched in sweat, but the two of them were still fully focused. The sound of the collision of bamboo swords reverberated in the training room.
Shen Xixi’s eyes never left the man’s shoulder.
Was she going to attack the left side? No, this was just a feint! The real target should be her throat, but Shen Xixi did not stop her opponent after seeing through his movements. Instead, she made the tip of her sword swing slightly to the left, as if she was prepared to defend the left side, but in reality, she was prepared to quickly stab back at the man’s right wrist after blocking his attack.
Battles were never a simple contest of speed and strength. At the same time, there was also a contest of spirit.
The two of them had already engaged in such a contest over a thousand times during this period of time. They had both won and lost, and neither could finish the other off. However, in the next moment, Shen Xixi suddenly blacked out, she actually could not avoid the man’s stab at her throat.
However, the man in the flowery shirt had obviously noticed Shen Xixi’s unusual behavior. At the crucial moment, he stopped his actions and asked with concern, “Are You Alright?”
After this period of competition, the two of them had long become friends. Of course, this kind of friend was not a relationship between a man and a woman. They were simply admiring each other and were willing to believe in each other’s strength.
Although the man in the flowery shirt had released a small bait before he made his move, he did not think that Shen Xixi’s strength would not be able to see through his seductive movements, not to mention that Shen Xixi was completely unprepared just now, it was as if she had lost her mind.
“I’m fine. I’m just a little tired. Let’s call it a day. Can you leave me alone for a while?”Shen Xixi said as she rubbed her forehead.
“Okay.”The Man in the flowery shirt did not waste any time. He stood up and said, “It’s been hard on You recently. You can rest more. Come and find me when you want to practice your sword.”
“Thank you.”Shen Xixi forced a smile.
However, when the man in the flowery shirt left, Shen Xixi could not hold it in anymore. She hugged the trash can in the training room and vomited because she had just looked at the head of the man in the flowery shirt who was wearing a helmet, all she saw was a huge octopus head. In fact, it was not just the man in the flowery shirt. Shen Xixi was alone in the training room. When she saw the ceiling above her head, she felt that the ceiling had changed as well, it was covered with seashells, and something was constantly squirming.
Shen Xixi knew that there was something wrong with her mind. To be more precise, after a month and a half of tracking and cleaning up the mysterious societies, something was wrong with her mind.
However, she had held on until now and did not tell anyone.
Shen Xixi only hoped that this final battle would come a little earlier, before her mind completely collapsed.
