Chapter 453 [Bonus Chapter]Chaos Body Martial Art
Testing out a new fighting style against beings that can actually kill her if she\'s not careful is not only dangerous but incredibly stupid. Yet, Mira did just that. She used the entire hour against the duo to hone her new fighting style, which she found both difficult and extremely rewarding.
It was almost like she was trying to create a brand new Martial Art in the midst of a life-or-death battle!
The basics of this Martial Art is to have an incredibly strong body. High regenerative powers would also help, as the moves she performs can damage the body due to the amount of force she\'s generating.
For her to perform several contradictory actions at the same time, Mira essentially needs to flood certain parts of her body with Qi, so she can explode with power to counteract the force generated from her contradictory actions.
For example, let\'s say Mira dodges back but at the same time throws a kick and slashes with her scythe at the same time. Obviously, her kick and slash will lack the normal power they contain because of the force generated from her dodge.
So, in order to increase the power of her attacks, she needs to flood her legs and arms with Qi to neutralize the momentum of dodging backward in those parts of her body. Using that Qi, her leg and scythe will explode with the same amount of power as if she was charging at her enemy.
At least, that\'s the theory behind it. Getting it to work is another story entirely, and just from the hour she had tested it, she could tell that a strong body is needed.
Without a strong body, she\'ll just end up tearing her muscles apart, and she might even end up breaking her bones.
However, that\'s not all there is to this new Martial Art. In some cases, just flooding the body with Qi won\'t be enough. In those cases, she\'ll have to utilize both her ability to fly and create small platforms beneath her feet she can use to stop her momentum and push off of.
There are probably even more ways to utilize and improve this new fighting style, but Mira just hasn\'t figured them out.
Mira decided to name this new fighting style \'Chaos Body Martial Art\' since using this style puts one\'s body in a chaotic state.
After an hour of using her Chaos Body Martial Art, a third shadow appeared, this time with a fan as a weapon, but for some reason, she felt the danger the three shadows presented was lower even though there\'s more.
\'It seems I\'m really on the right track. Still, the following battles won\'t be easy. For now, I should just focus on refining this new Martial Art to prepare for the last round. That\'s the only one that really matters.\' Mira thought.
She was confident that with this new Martial Art combined with her strength, she should be able to make it to the 10th Round without too many injuries. Well, as long as she just focused on surviving instead of killing.
With her current ability, if she tried to kill the shadows every round, she\'d most likely not only be injured but would run out of Qi despite her deep reserves and quick Qi regeneration.
However, regardless of what she does, making it to the 10th Round won\'t be easy.
Besides that, if she doesn\'t win a single round by killing all the shadows, she\'ll only be making the 10th Round harder.

The hours ticked by, and eventually, Mira made it to the 10th Round of the 5th Stage. However, unlike her appearance a few hours ago, now she looked haggard, to say the least.
Her clothes were ripped to shreds, and she had wounds all over her body, despite her increased regenerative abilities.
[Starting the 10th Round of the 5th Stage.
Successor Mira XXXX has killed 18 shadows in the 5th Stage.
Adding 18 minutes to the allotted time available for the 10th Round.
You now have 33 minutes to complete the 10th Round of Stage 5.
Should you fail to kill all the shadows in the allotted 33 minutes, you will fail the 5th Stage.]
Mira heard the F.LD.I.L\'s systematic voice in her mind, and soon 10 shadows appeared in front of her.
Seeing these shadows appear in front of her, a bloodthirsty grin appeared on her face. She can finally go all out!
That\'s not to say that she hasn\'t gone all out in the previous Rounds, but she severely underestimated the difficulty of the Rounds in Stage 5 and was forced to take a few unnecessary injuries so she could save all her Qi for Round 10.
Well, she also took plenty of attacks simply because she was unable to dodge or block them, but to Mira, each injury was a learning experience.
Over the last few hours, her Chaos Body Martial Art has improved significantly. Part of the reason for this is due to the unique effect of the Abyssal Battle Ladder, allowing Mira to improve her battle prowess faster than she would back in reality.
However, Mira also spent every millisecond of her battles analyzing and improving her Chaos Body Martial Art.
By now, Mira has learned to not only perform three contradictory actions at the same time, she\'s also able to use her elemental abilities and her tails in the midst of her actions.
In fact, it\'s thanks to her tails that the Chaos Body Martial Art has improved so much! Her tails are like 9 other limbs and can take some of the load off the rest of her body when she\'s performing those unique and disorderly moves.
Her Chaos Body Martial Art wasn\'t the only thing that improved, though. Her Qi control has also made substantial strides, making Mira much more confident about this upcoming battle.
With her body primed and ready, Mira wielded her scythe and faced off against the 10 shadows in front of her.
