"..." Shreya gred at him

  "..." Tam stared at him

  "..." An didn't eborate any further.

  Shreya, not in a mood for an arm massage or to deal with a pervert—which is more common than she had hoped for—decided to take one step back away from An.

  In order to step away, in half a second, she took one foot of the round.

  An took that personally, the opportunity was not wasted as he took a kick aimed at the other foot that was standing still to anchor, one that seemed more like a stomp or step: the oblique kick. A technique that aims to dislocate/greatly damage the opponent's knee by bending it backwards.

  Shreya should be squirming around in pain right now, if he did it right.

  But she reacted in time, and all she had to do was to bend her knee forward. Effectively creating a stance solid enough that he kicked into nothing.

  "You have brains, huh." An said (Vietnamese)

  "So you want a fight?" Shreya replied (Hindi)

  "You can't fight her!" Tam screamed, "She was the middleweight WMMA champion before becoming a full-time public figure!"

  "..." Upon hearing that, An smirked, "This would be predictable then."

  With a grin on her face, Shreya lowered her head and covered her chin with both hands, into a standard fighting position.

  From where she was resting her hand, she did an extremely fast punch towards An's face; or the common man would know it as a "jab", low damage yet efficiency in dealing damage safely. And for the common man, it's reasonable to block it, because this punch deals practically zero damage if you can, or just to keep a distance further than your opponent arm's length.

  "Elephant Fist!"

  But not in this case. If An were to block in front of his face, the shockwave will smash his skull, and if he dodged backwards, the shockwave would impact an even rger area of your body. So the next logical thing a common man should do is to dodge to the side.

  clung

  Unfortunately for half the parties involved, An resembled that of a lunatic more than a common man.

  He stepped forward and leaned in right into impact at the apex of Shreya's punch, so that his forehead is perfect where her was arm able to extent to the fullest, and where she ended he momentum of the jab. Effectively, their skin were touching but the there were no more force generated from the jab, making it so that the attack dealt no damage. But, what about the shockwave that was going to smash his head in?

  The space along the trajectory of the fist were obvious cracked, impact was carried and flew, bursting through molecules to carve a path through air. So Elephant Fist was not canceled.

  "... How are your skull not fractured yet, young man?" asked Shreya (Hindi)

  "Elephant Fist's shockwave isn't generated from the fingertips," An expined in Vietnamese to presumably nobody, "But a rough 22.6cm from where the fist nded, you wouldn't noticed this because you're usually taller than your enemies and can get the shockwave to hit their innards despite being near point bnk. But could you guess what's shorter than 22.6 meters? The human skull, averaging 19."

  Shreya didn't understand any of that because of well, nguages, and Tam was still too stunned to think.

  "Elephant Fist."

  But perhaps An had forgotten, the fact that Shreya didn't need to make a fully extended punch to create shockwave, just like what she did to the greywolf.

  The fierce warrior woman moved her other hand from the guard position on the chin, and barely bend it down to make the slightly movement forward to validate the God-Warrior concept of a punch, this time it will surely hit him.

  bud

  An did something that seems so obvious yet so unthinkable.

  "Elbow Uppercut." he muttered.

  The elbow is the deadliest tool of the human arm, one that is capable of generating the force at practically zero velocity. And he used it to misdirect Shreya's fist away up into the air.

  Before anything else can happen, he used the other arm to elbow her jaw sideways.
