248 Not Competing in Swordsmanship
Zhuang Sheng’s neither arrogant nor prideful attitude was really like that of a gentleman.
Dong Xi took out her long sword and said, “Senior Brother is too humble. We’ll talk about it after the competition.”
Zhuang Sheng’s face turned serious as he also took out his long sword and said, “Junior Sister, you’re right. Let’s fight then.”
The two of them had sparred four times, so they were very familiar with each other’s moves.
Zhuang Sheng had used 40 percent of his spirit power, but Dong Xi still went up to meet him. The two swords were full of spiritual Qi. Dong Xi circulated her cultivation technique and unloaded the power.
This time, the ground of the arena was not damaged. The Sect Master was probably worried that a disciple like Dong Xi would appear, so he had specially reinforced it.
Dong Xi took a few steps back. She knew that Senior Brother Zhuang Sheng had not used his full strength in this attack.
The sword in his hand did not break.
Before Dong Xi could think too much, Zhuang Sheng’s attack had already arrived in front of her.
Dong Xi swiftly circulated her cultivation technique. She could clearly sense that she would be able to withstand this move as well. Thus, she immediately launched an attack.
After four attacks, Zhuang Sheng used the fifth move of his sword technique, the Sword Shadows That Filled the Sky.
Zhuang Sheng also wanted to see how Junior Sister Dong Xi would receive this move, but he did not expect that his sword attack would miss.
Dong Xi’s body movements were ingenious, and she dodged the sword shadows through the fine gaps. Zhuang Sheng had never seen such a body movement technique.
Zhuang Sheng looked at Dong Xi in surprise. He saw Dong Xi raise her long sword and swing it, and a trace of spiritual Qi flashed across the blade.
The Sword Shadows That Filled the Sky were instantly shattered, and Zhuang Sheng was exposed.
Zhuang Sheng said that he only knew swordsmanship, and Dong Xi was about the same. Other than swordsmanship, he had not learned any other spells.
If they were to really compare, Dong Xi only had a slight advantage in body refinement and movement techniques.
The crowd below the ring had seen that Dong Xi and Zhuang Sheng had been fighting for so long, yet Dong Xi had not lost. She did not even feel that his spirit Qi was exhausted.
Moreover, no one had seen Dong Xi take the medicinal pill. What cultivation level did Dong Xi have? Her spiritual power was actually this strong?
When Dong Xi saw that Zhuang Sheng was about to use the sixth sword move, she immediately used her own sword move.
To be honest, in his current position, Dong Xi could only use two moves. She could only copy the rest of the moves and could not use them.
After parrying so much, she comprehended her opponent’s swordsmanship. Although it was only a little bit, she had barely broken Zhuang Sheng’s move.
When the two sword techniques collided, Dong Xi immediately smiled. She had actually managed to block it.
Dong Xi’s right hand was a little sore. It was indeed not easy to fight an attack from a tenth level Qi Refinement disciple.
Zhuang Sheng was also very surprised. He said, “Junior Sister, you’re really amazing. I’ll give you some time, and your future will be bright.”
“Senior Brother, you flatter me!” Dong Xi said modestly.
“If that’s the case,” Zhuang Sheng said with a smile, “as a Senior Brother, I can’t hide my strength anymore. I’ll use all my strength.”
Dong Xi nodded. She had just learned this movement technique in the Cultivation Technique Hall, and it was indeed very useful to use it now.
Wei Nan, who had been watching from the stands, suddenly had a change in expression.
He was not interested at first. However, when he heard that Dong Xi would be facing a disciple of the Sword Sect today, he wanted to see how Dong Xi would temper her body.
He did not expect such a scene to happen. The people present might not be able to see it, but Wei Nan saw it clearly.
This movement technique… It was obviously the movement technique of the Ningtian Sect’s Founding Master. If Dong Xi’s sword technique was not taught by Master Yijian, Wei Nan would have thought that this little girl had obtained the Founding Master’s inheritance.
But how did Dong Xi learn this movement technique? It was really strange.
Zhuang Sheng’s sword moves became fiercer and fiercer, and Dong Xi barely dodged them. Many small wounds appeared on Dong Xi’s body, and she rolled away to avoid the sword moves.
Dong Xi, who was lying on the ground, heaved a sigh of relief and immediately ate a medicinal pill.
Then, she stood up again and said, “Senior Brother, I still have one more move. If you can easily take it, I will admit defeat.”
Zhuang Sheng nodded and took a pill.
Zhuang Sheng had won against Dong Xi four times before, but he had never thought that Dong Xi would be so difficult to deal with in a real fight.
Zhuang Sheng thought that Dong Xi would forcefully use the third move of the sword technique, but Dong Xi put away her long sword instead.
Dong Xi stood in place, her hands forming a seal, and her mouth began to mutter technical terms.
The surroundings immediately fell silent. Only Dong Xi’s voice could be heard. Wei Nan stood up excitedly.
This… Wasn’t this a spell from the Central Plains? Where did Dong Xi come from? How did she know the spell techniques of the Central Plains?
As Dong Xi muttered, a fire dragon slowly appeared behind her. When Dong Xi finished the last syllable, the fire dragon opened its eyes.
The moment Zhuang Sheng was stared at by the fire dragon, he felt cold all over. He did not dare to be careless and immediately jumped off the ring.
