As Bai Yuanhong's eldest disciple, Li Hai naturally felt Bai Hao's "blatant" "provocation".
"Junior brother, be careful!"
He stomped his foot hard, and his sword, like a storm, tore through the air and whistled as it pierced straight at Bai Hao!
Although they use each other's sword techniques as their moves, regardless of the sword technique, the moves are secondary; the real power depends on the user.
So this was essentially a competition between Bai Hao and Li Hai!
"Damn, that fast?!"
Bai Hao was shocked. To attack without warning was incredibly impolite!
Moreover, Li Hai is already in the Body Tempering stage, so his strength, speed, and swordsmanship are exceptionally sharp.
Bai Hao felt a gust of wind rush towards his face, making him almost unable to stand.
"If you use the Wind-Following Sword Technique, then I'll use the Moon-Inviting Sword Technique!"
He didn't care about anything else. His longsword suddenly drew an arc in the air, like the moon, and thrust out to meet Li Hai's sword without any fancy moves!
"boom--!"
With a deafening roar, everyone felt a momentary dizziness, the earth shook, and their ears and eyes were ringing.
By the time they regained their balance, they could see that the two people in the center of the square had already separated.
The two were evenly matched; after a single sword strike, they each retreated dozens of steps without falling.
Bai Hao blocked Li Hai's path!
This should have been a perfectly normal scene, but it left many people feeling incredulous.
Minghao's aura was so weak that it was impossible to tell what level of cultivation he was, yet he managed to block a sword strike from Lihai, who was in the Body Tempering stage.
How is that possible!
Bai Yuanhong's face also showed some disbelief.
In his opinion, Bai Hao was at most a beginner disciple in the early stage of Qi Gathering. Although he was Su Yuewan's personal disciple, his strength was definitely not up to par.
But now, Li Hai couldn't defeat him in one move?
It seems this guy has been hiding his true intentions quite well.
"As expected, both Senior Brother Li and I have grasped two parts of it, so it's impossible to determine a winner." Bai Hao smiled and clasped his hands in a fist salute.
"It seems that the outcome of this swordsmanship contest will only be determined when we have the opportunity to decide it ourselves in the future," Bai Yuanhong said with a polite smile.
Of course, he wouldn't fight Su Yuewan again right here.
After all, the powerful sword intent that Su Yuewan had just displayed had already made him somewhat wary. He was just looking for a topic to put the competition between Bai Hao and Li Hai aside.
Otherwise, it would be a disgrace for them if a disciple from a fallen sect were to be on par with a disciple from their Yaoyue Sect.
"It's getting late, so we won't disturb you any longer. We hope Sect Leader Su will give the matter of the ruins a good consideration."
Although they didn't gain any advantage in the swordsmanship competition, the Yaoyue Sect always held onto their biggest trump card.
Although Su Yuewan had said she wouldn't cooperate, he believed she was just putting on a brave face.
No one can resist the allure of ruins, yet no one is confident enough to see through them.
Even those in the Supreme Realm are no exception!
"Farewell, Sect Leader Bai. We won't see you off."
...
At the foot of the mountain.
"Sect Master, I'm sorry, I failed to make you look good just now." Li Hai bowed his head and apologized.
“It’s not your fault. Ye Hao must have some extraordinary abilities to become Su Yuewan’s personal disciple. We just don’t know them.” Bai Yuanhong’s face was gloomy. “But it’s not that simple for their sect to continue to grow stronger. You will come with me to the Divine Sea Sect later. I think their thoughts are the same as ours.”
“But, didn’t you say that Feng Qingjue was scared by Su Yuewan…” Li Hai didn’t finish his sentence.
“That’s just Feng Qingjue, but the Divine Sea Sect has never belonged to Feng Qingjue alone!” Bai Yuanhong glanced at him.
Li Hai suddenly understood: "Disciple understands!"
...
"You did a good job just now." Su Yuewan patted Bai Hao on the shoulder.
"Ah? Oh, that's what a disciple should do." Bai Hao finally came to his senses.
Su Yuewan suddenly realized that Bai Hao's hands were trembling.
Why?
Although others couldn't see it clearly just now, she saw it very clearly: the aura that Bai Hao unleashed was definitely no less than that of Li Hai.
Why are your hands shaking?
Is it because they're scared afterward?
Damn it, I never imagined fighting someone with a sword would feel like this; it's harder than killing a chicken.
Bai Hao wasn't faking it.
This was truly the first time he had ever gone head-to-head with someone.
This feeling is much harder than killing a chicken.
Su Yuewan: "..."
Goodness, I thought he was scared.
But unexpectedly, he compared his contest with Li Hai to killing a chicken.
That's really... refreshing and unconventional.
"Sect Master, is there anything else?"
Seeing that Su Yuewan hadn't left yet, Bai Hao was a little puzzled.
It's not even lunchtime yet, are you already hungry again?
Can't we just let people catch their breath?
Su Yuewan: "..."
She just praised him once, and Bai Hao actually connected that to what she wanted to eat?
Does he think I'm just a foodie?
So angry!
"It's okay!"
Su Yuewan suddenly snorted coldly, turned around and left.
Bai Hao was left completely bewildered.
Did I offend her again?
Meanwhile, Fan Ziming had already come to greet them.
"Brother Bai!"
"Brother Bai, why didn't you just beat that Li Hai guy away?" Fan Ziming said with some disappointment.
He had told the disciples of the Inviting Moon Sect that Bai Hao had gained a lot of insights, but in the end, he only managed to fight Li Hai to a draw.
This somewhat diminished his persuasiveness in front of his junior classmates.
"Damn, that guy's at the Body Tempering stage! How am I supposed to beat him to a pulp?" Bai Hao really wanted to pin this fat guy to the ground and grind him into the dirt.
"Next time, we should let you fight against others. You are the backbone of our sect's fighting force!"
"I can't do it, I'm not as good as you, Brother Bai." Fan Ziming shook his head repeatedly.
"I can't do it. I'm just a mascot, I can't withstand this kind of torment."
If there's a next time, he'll definitely drag Fan Ziming into it to take the blame.
However, sometimes Su Yuewan happens to be there, and whoever she tells to go up has to go up.
What a headache.
"I can't say anymore. Those newly recruited disciples haven't been settled yet. I need to go make arrangements." Fan Ziming suddenly remembered he had things to do and was about to leave, but then turned back.
"By the way, Brother Bai, could you cook for me tonight? I haven't had your cooking in ages. Xiaoping and Axiu's cooking skills are nowhere near as good as yours. I've even lost three pounds eating their food these days." He said, sounding a little aggrieved.
“You should really start dieting. But as the old saying goes, being able to eat is a blessing. Come over tonight, and I'll cook for you.” Bai Hao raised an eyebrow.
"Okay, it's settled then!"
Fan Ziming walked away happily.
