Chapter 23: Muscle Paralysis
'Huff….huff…huff'
Trying to catch her breath, with bloodshot pupils Su Ying tried to remain calm as she looked at the least three goblins standing before her
To her right, one goblin stood with a wooden club in its hand looking at her warily ready to strike at any moment
Same with her left, as a similar goblin stood also holding a wooden club ready to pounce on her at any moment
*However something isn't right, this goblin in front seems a bit different*
*For some reason it gives me a sense of danger unlike the others, or could I be wrong?*
Turning forward, Su Ying made eye contact with a goblin that seemed totally different from all the rest she had faced so far
This time, unlike its almost naked compatriots, it had a colorful feather skirt as well as a necklace bad helmet made of what seemed to be animal bones adorned on its body
In its hand, unlike the usual club or mallet, it held a bone staff which also had an animal skull on its tip
The goblin now, as if sensing Su Ying's gaze suddenly turned towards her with a mocking expression on his face
It seemed to say 'Areyou scared yet?'
But who is Su Ying? She is a teacher and now awakened who just defeated numerous goblins, how could she be made fun of something that was about to be made barbecue by her

And as for him with the staff, she decided to leave him till last as she felt her intuition wasn't wrong and that goblin would most likely be able to threaten her
So in able to fully concentrate on her with it, Su Yong knew she needed to eliminate these two cannon fodder beside her.
"Take this you damn goblins!"
"Fire first barrage!"
Throwing an array of fists at the goblin on her left, Su Ying decided to end things quickly as she had already started to become dizzy
Although she didn't show it, but her vision had begun to wane more than before and her limbs had begun to tire
Even her flames seemed to by one point every second making it seem like she was about to run out of fuel
Fortunately, it was enough to eliminate her target
*Boom!*
*Boom!*
*Boom!*
Under Su Ying's desperate barrage of attacks, the goblin which had been already prepared for her attacks could only block helplessly as his body was being shattered
"Kwaaaaakk!!" screened the goblin
Howling with pain, within less than a minute the goblin was pulverized into an unrecognisable mess by her fists killing him on the spot
Unfortunately, it seemed that Su Ying had miss calculated as after delivering the last blow, her body suddenly froze making her unable to move
*Damn it! It seems that this is the limit*
*could it be that this is how it ends? Was everything for naught?*
*Damn muscle paralysis, why did you have to happen now!*
Screaming angrily in her mind, Su Yind tried desperately to move but to no avail, no matter how she tried her body just remained motionless standing over the goblin she just eliminated
In fact, Su Ying had already expected something like this to happen but she didn't expect it to happen so soon
As a teacher, apart from the basic which she teaches she still spend some time in the city library to gain some knowledge
So while she might not be an expert on everything, Su Ying at least knew what was going on now.
Muscle paralysis, once the muscles in the body have been overworked for an extended period of time, it tenses up making them unable to move
Not only that, as the muscles gradually regain their form, unimaginable waves of pain would be sent through the body leaving the person in question creaming for minutes.
And this was something Su Ying had expected to happen during the fight, as on multiple occasions she had felt her nuances begin to tense up from all the strain
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHowever considering the situation at hand, she ignored the signs and pushed her body past the limits again and again in order to save herself and her students
Unfortunately sometimes no matter how hard you try, it's never enough
"So this is her limit hunh? She seems a bit stronger than she was in my past life"
"Not only that, her flames feel a bit familiar"
"I feel like I've seen them before"
Looking at Su Ying who had stopped moving, Ye Tian couldn't help but sigh at her willpower and determination
Just what kind of life did she live outside school to be able to sacrifice so much for her students?
Was she some kind of military personnel or mercenary?
If anyone else, Ye Tisn could have bet on his abilities they would run away based on such a situation
Even in his former life, he always wondered what she did outside school as from day one, Su Ying was someone who could risk it all to protect someone
A trait that if anything should be considered rare and special, especially in times like these
However, after thinking about it for a bit Ye Tian shook his head
*now is not the time to think of such things, after all, Su Ying's outside life is none of my business as it can't make me stronger*
*if anything, my focus should be on that guy, as he's most likely noticed her situation*
*if he doesn't want to her to die, just like in my last life hell have no choice but to act now*
Thinking in his mind, Ye Tian turned to look toward the suited man with a strange glint in his eyes
And sure enough, without giving either of the two remaining goblins a chance to react, under Ye Tians' watchful gaze he acted!
