"I have to go home now, can it wait until tomorrow?"

Iman forced a smile, fearing that this guy might use forceful means to take her away. She didn't mind her own safety, but she couldn't leave the two children in the hotel and just watch. Although there were robots in the hotel, they charged for their services and naturally left after the time was up.

Raymond hated waiting, but he was a lawful citizen, "Alright, but you have to give me your contact information."

"That's no problem, my number is 1450097-6527127."

Raymond didn't linger on this matter. After noting down the number and agreeing on a meeting time, he turned and left, lifting his foot to go.

Iman let out a big sigh of relief! Her gaze shifted slightly and she quickly returned to her original personality, striding back to the hotel with an expressionless face.

When she pushed open the hotel door, Iman hadn't even realized how much she was looking forward to seeing the two children. Although she wouldn't have children of her own, the feelings she cultivated from a young age made her look at the two children as if they were her own.

At eight o'clock the next day, at the agreed-upon location, Iman followed Raymond to a luxurious hotel.

Raymond took out a card and cut straight to the point with Iman, "Alright, tell me everything you know. One day should be enough for you to explain it all."

"Which aspect do you want to hear about?"

"Of course, about the Revenge Shadow Rider. As a certified bounty tribe free agent coach, I hope you'll surprise me. Don't disappoint me." Raymond half-joked, then sat on the sofa and gestured for Iman to begin.

At this moment, Iman had shed her usual disguise used when coaching students, and with complete calmness, she glanced at the card. She believed that someone of Raymond's caliber wouldn't deceive her for a million, so she didn't bother to verify it; she just kept the card, "Do you want to start from the basics?"

"There's no need, but if a day is enough for you to finish explaining what you know, I don't mind if you start from the beginning." Raymond thought that coaching students might not be Iman's entire expertise, so if the day was enough, it'd be okay to start from scratch. At the very least, he couldn't afford to spend a million a day on nothing more than a pretty face.

"Alright, let's start with the basic principles: attack, defense, containment, and consumption, which are collectively referred to as the combat guidelines."

"No need to say that." Raymond hurriedly waved his hand. As a warrior, and one of the world's top warriors at that, if he didn't even know this, he might as well be dead. Raymond told Iman, "Speak about things related to the Revenge Shadow Rider."

"Alright." Iman thought for a moment, "The combat guidelines for the Revenge Shadow Rider, as I classify them, are divided into eight categories."

"What are the eight categories?"

"Fist, kick, grapple, body, explode, attack, containment, insight, it has them all, however, it lacks defense."

Raymond's eyes flashed momentarily; this woman was amazing. One could say that before he dived deeply into applying the Revenge Shadow Rider, even he hadn't discovered that the Revenge Shadow Rider lacked defense in combat. The reason Raymond hadn't noticed wasn't due to a lack of careful observation but because the attack of the Revenge Shadow Rider was so strong that it didn't need defense, effectively covering the weakness of lacking defense. It was through numerous comparisons that Raymond discovered this weak point of the Revenge Shadow Rider's defense. Unexpectedly, this woman identified it right off the bat.

"Fists are like two doors, relying on legs to hit is obviously not applicable to the Revenge Shadow Rider. It uses any part of its body as a weapon. Shadow Rider's attacks and containment cover all bases. Whether in body technique fights or grappling and suppression, its agile movements and the keen observation of the battlefield environment and opponents are its greatest qualities, so let's start with the fists."

Raymond suddenly became interested, and upon hearing this, he even served Iman a cup of tea, symbolizing respect for her insights.

The eight categories that Iman elaborated on were the same as what Raymond had once summarized. The summaries he wrote on combat could fill a book, but they weren't as clear and systematically organized as Iman's. In comparison, Raymond's summaries seemed rather vague.

Thus, Iman proceeded to explain her records to Raymond, sorted out early on. First was the fist aspect. Even in this single aspect, the variations of the Revenge Shadow Rider reached 128 types, including jab punches, straight punches, swing punches, downward punches, dominant strong punches, feigned punches, explosive punches, inch punches, swift punches, and heavy punches. These seemingly common techniques seemed simple, but upon careful analysis, you'll find that there are very strict timings for execution. Moreover, based on the opponent's endurance and reaction ability, micro adjustments are made in the attack, all of which rely on its sharp insight and comprehension of what's happening.

Of course, these so-called punches can only be said to be the favored way of the Revenge Shadow Rider. As for the timing and search for opportunities to strike, they're not of significant consideration since the Revenge Shadow Rider always delivers the perfect strike within the most suitable time gaps. This is very rare. Perhaps, if he were to demonstrate it again, he would deliver the same spectacular attack from different angles, but no matter how you look at it, you'd always think that this punch was the most perfect. Therefore, the Revenge Shadow Rider's attacks are often viewed by outsiders as dazzling but unsuitable for imitation.

However, this can only be attributed to people's lack of understanding of the essence. As the saying goes, skill creates the form, yet the essence is elusive; no matter how much one mimics, without grasping the essence, one will forever only be a mimic. Only by knowing why the Revenge Shadow Rider changes tactics in battle can one more accurately understand this person.

First of all, the Revenge Shadow Rider's combat style leans towards offense, which suggests that his personality is likely very strong. As they say, one's expression reflects their heart, and battle is defined by spirit. When a person lacks presence, they mostly focus on containment and self-preservation; if someone who favors peace were to fight, they might rely mainly on defense.

Therefore, the combat style of the Revenge Shadow Rider is inherently designed to keep most imitators at bay.

Whoosh! Raymond felt as if struck by lightning; Iman's account was simply too profound. She hadn't even mentioned much related to combat, yet it was like putting the finishing touch on a painting, directly jolting Raymond!

Yes, initially, he was mimicking and had paved his own path, yet he always felt something was lacking—presence! What an offensive warrior lacks is indeed presence. The reason he mastered the Revenge Shadow Rider's combat skills so deeply was largely due to his own style habits.

However, as the wars came to an end and his mindset relaxed, he gradually forgot that battle demeanor.

Raymond did not interrupt; he couldn't bear to interrupt, fearing to waste even a moment. What Iman was saying was too valuable, perhaps this was what they call not seeing the mountain when in the mountain. Often, when one is fixated on something, they fall into a rut, subsequently overlooking seemingly trivial yet truly critical aspects.

Regarding this issue, Iman continued to share with Raymond a lot about her insights, including about the person that is the Revenge Shadow Rider and the real purpose of his participation in platform challenges, which was entirely different from Hans' viewpoint.

Hans believed that the Revenge Shadow Rider exists for challenges, and for the sake of combat, asserting that its existence is a symbol of invincibility in itself.

But Iman did not see it this way. Iman felt that the Revenge Shadow Rider was actually here for the challenge, for the sake of battle, and to enjoy the process, not truly caring about winning or losing.

As for the outcome, perhaps a bit, since with each battle it might also realize it cannot lose. But if you carefully analyze it, if the Revenge Shadow Rider truly cared about winning or losing, it wouldn't choose the Phantom Knight 0001 model as its go-to choice. Therefore, Iman's personal evaluation was straightforward: the Revenge Shadow Rider doesn't care about combat but rather enjoys it, and this mindset is exceptionally good.

Wonderful! Remarkable! Simply too amazing! Iman's words hadn't even finished when Raymond jumped straight out of his chair, startling Iman.
