Xu Yuehuai drew her silver sword with a serious look in her eyes; there was no wind in the air. Nangong Yu took out a fan.
Xu Yuehuai had heard of the fan, and that Nangong Yu's fan was unique in the world, extremely precious, and had a very strong attack power. Hearing this, it was simply a dream weapon.
She faced Nangong Yu directly, stepping into the void, and instantly appeared in front of him, swinging her sword to attack.
The speed was so fast that only a blur could be seen with the naked eye. Nangong Yu was shocked. He had never imagined that Xu Yuehuai had grown to such a level. In the sect, he had very little contact with Xu Yuehuai, almost none at all. Apart from the time they helped the Second Elder together, there were very few other interactions.
He proposed this practice because he thought that for the next two weeks, they would fight side by side for so long, sharing both glory and honor. She was the senior sister of the sect, someone even he, the senior brother, had to respectfully address.
He wanted to test her strength. If she was passable, he could guide her for the next five days and make up for much of the difference.
Nangong Yu felt a pang of regret. He had feelings for Xu Yuehuai, but ever since Xu Yuehuai and the others were kidnapped last time, he was the only one who was released and returned to the sect for help. After that, he began to avoid Xu Yuehuai.
He didn't know why he was doing it; he just felt that he would feel terrible if he didn't.
Instead of making yourself suffer, you should follow your heart.
Nangong Yu's idea was simple, so he went into seclusion to cultivate and hid from Xu Yuehuai for so long, and now he finally decided to show himself.
When Xu Yuehuai fought with him, he showed no mercy whatsoever.
Nangong Yu quickly picked up the fan in his hand to defend himself, and with a backhand, the silver sword was firmly caught by the fan.
Xu Yuehuai raised an eyebrow, showing some interest in the fan.
The two resumed their fight.
Zisangyi and the Fifth Elder came out of the house when they heard the commotion. They were momentarily bewildered when they saw the two people fighting outside.
"Xu Yuehuai is truly a promising talent!" The Fifth Elder rubbed his hands together, looking at Xu Yuehuai as if he were a treasure.
Zi Sangyi glanced back at the Fifth Elder with an unfriendly look.
The elder stood aside without speaking, his eyes filled with admiration; both children were quite capable.
Xu Yuehuai, in particular, has managed to grow his cultivation to the point where he can rival Nangong Yu in such a short time.
Everyone knows who was right and who was wrong in this battle, so there's no need to ask who won or lost. Although Xu Yuehuai is quite strong and has some combat experience, she was still a bit weaker in terms of momentum due to the suppression of her cultivation level.
Nangong Yu was not a useless person like Su Chen. She was able to fight Su Chen with all her might and used her cleverness to avoid a fatal blow.
The situation before them was completely different. Nangong Yu trained diligently every day and had a lot of combat experience. Although he had not participated in any major battles, with the suppression of his cultivation level, he was more than capable of defeating Xu Yuehuai.
As Xu Yuehuai attacked again, Nangong Yu quickly retreated, one foot braced against the edge of the cabin, his whole body tilted, his head facing Xu Yuehuai.
His eyes suddenly turned fierce, and when he unleashed his spiritual power, a fierce wind arose around him, as if it were about to destroy something.
Xu Yuehuai sensed something was wrong and glanced to the side. In that instant, Nangong Yu stepped forward, the tip of his fan transforming into a sharp dagger that gleamed with white light.
He arrived at Xu Yuehuai's side with lightning speed, and Xu Yuehuai immediately dodged as he passed by her.
Nevertheless, her clothes were slightly cut by the knife, but fortunately she was unharmed.
Xu Yuehuai dared not underestimate her opponent. Looking at the man in front of her, her eyes were filled with unprecedented seriousness.
Nangong Yu continued her attack.
Spiritual power and speed complement each other, as does mental power.
Xu Yuehuai's speed was only slightly faster than Nangong Yu's, because she was both a spellcaster and an alchemist.
These two things give her a significant advantage over others in terms of mental strength.
Nangong Yu's cultivation has reached the Great Perfection of the Foundation Establishment Realm. He has been stuck at this level for several months. He still needs to hone his skills to reach the Nascent Soul Realm.
Sometimes, advancing to a higher realm can happen in the blink of an eye, and it is also closely related to one's own strength.
However, his current cultivation level is five realms higher than Xu Yuehuai's.
From the Foundation Establishment Realm onwards, people at the same level become completely different beings with each higher realm.
Xu Yuehuai understood this all too well; the two fought for half an hour, and both were injured.
However, it was clear that Xu Yuehuai had more injuries.
There were no fatal injuries, just some superficial wounds.
So Xu Yuehuai didn't even bother to look at the injuries on her body.
In the blink of an eye, Xu Yuehuai dodged Nangong Yu's attack by sidestepping, but unexpectedly, the fan-shaped blade that was originally slashing down vertically suddenly changed direction.
If it were a normal slow-motion exercise, this move wouldn't be difficult to do, but in a martial arts competition, when they're attacking, every move is delivered with force.
Therefore, it is not an easy thing to quickly and reverse the direction of one's force.
Xu Yuehuai was unable to dodge in time, and the simple match ended with a winner. After the fight, many people stood by, watching the two fight, and some were even analyzing their moves.
At the beginning, it wouldn't have been difficult for Xu Yuehuai to dodge this move. The difficulty lay in the later stages when her spiritual power and energy began to lag behind. To concentrate better, she could only focus her attention on one thing: how to attack Nangong Yu.
She wasn't constantly thinking about defending; in battle, the best defense is a counterattack.
Seeing this, Su Chen snorted coldly, "Is that all? I thought you were really that capable. If Senior Sister Ji Yaocen were here, she could easily fight Senior Brother to a draw."
"The current senior sister is useless; she can't even beat the senior brother." Everyone already knew about the discord between Su Chen and Xu Yuehuai at the previous funeral.
There weren't many surprised expressions on their faces.
Xu Yuehuai didn't even glance at Su Chen; he was a defeated opponent and didn't need her attention.
Upon hearing this, Ji Yaocen frowned and glanced at Su Chen, who had spoken, before saying in a cold and sharp voice, "It's best not to say such things in the future. You can compare yourself to others, but don't compare yourself to others."
