Chapter 62: Sword Battle
The halberd smashed at the green crystal with the lightning qi pouring out in the form of lightning bolts. The sharpness of the halberd struck the green crystal so hard that it made the entire spear tremble. The lightning condensed at the halberd pierced the green crystal and a smile appeared on Gengxin's lips.
But, the same smile appeared on Yue Bin's lips as well. As soon as the green crystal broke, two huge green branches came out of the crystal, transforming into the dragon arms. The claws were sharp and the arm was long.
It caught the shaft of the halberd and for the moment, Gengxin paused in mid-air. At this moment, Yue Bin pressed her feet in the air and made herself float while holding her spear tightly. She stepped on the air and slammed a kick on Gengxin's head from the side.
Bang!
The kick smashed Gengxin to the ground as the dragon arm disappeared. Yue Bin landed on her feet while having her spear in her hand. She looked at Gengxin and asked "So, does this mean I win?
Her kick mercilessly broke the bone in cheek. The helmet and the armor itself broke from the kick.
Gengxin couldn't say anything. This wasn't a life and death battle so she quickly took out a healing pill and eat it. As the healing pill entered her body, her body started healing quickly. Yue Bin got her answer and retreated but her expression was solemn.
At this moment, the tip of her spear was broken. It could be said if she didn't have this spear, she wouldn't be able to win. And, she only has one spear of this level. She clenched her fist with frustration. Unlike Gengxin, she couldn't afford more.
This spear was given by Elder Chen. How could she not understand its value? Though she was sad, she was also happy about winning. After all, this means her position is still fixed. Thinking of it, she couldn't help but giggle on the way.
Qin was surprised by this battle. He was surprised that Gengxin decided to end this battle in a single attack. Both sides didn't back down but Yue Bin had an advantage due to her dragon transformation. The green scales around her were getting stronger.
Gengxin healed up and glanced at Yue Bin. She knew she had lost. But she couldn't do anything. Her armor was broken as well and she obviously took time to heal which is already her loss. She stood up and silently walked to her other sisters.
"I am surprised. Why didn't you use those weapons?" Xinyi asked with confusion. Although Gengxin didn't have the Spirit Rank weapons, she still possesses High-Tier Weapons. But, she didn't use it which was confusing.
"Those are lifesaving weapons. I can't use them unless my life is threatened." Gengxin shook her head and looked at Yue Bin with envy. Unlike Yue Bin, every weapon she has were earned by herself. That's why she couldn't afford Spirit Rank Weapon.
Xinyi is from Shining Moon Sect. Gengxin manages the business. And, Jian follows her grandpa every time. These three sisters rarely see each other even though all of them were from the same family.
After Yue Bin came near Qin, she showed him a big smile. Qin knew what she meant and praised her for her strength. After that, Qin walked to the middle. After all, it was the battle between him and Jian. Both of them walked in the middle.
Qin took out his normal sword and Jian took out her own sword. While his sword was only Low-Tier, she had a Middle-Tier Sword. Although he could use the Middle-Tier that he got from Cheng Gun's ring, he didn't like using the better sword for the spar unless his sword gets broken.
He did use the High-Tier sword to fight against that man but he was still using sword energy most of the time that it matter much.
"No cultivation, no physical strength, only sword energy!" Tan Jian spoke as she held her sword tightly and burst out sword energy.
"How did you know I have cultivated sword energy?" Qin asked curiously since Xiao Lan said it has hidden his sword breath. That's why he was confused.
"Because she/I is/am a swordsman." Xiao Lan and Tan Jian spoke at the same time making him dumbfounded. At this moment, Xiao Lan continued "Young Master, the swordsman can feel the sword belief if they try. The Sword Belief is the only thing that a pure swordsman can see. Besides the sword belief, he naturally doesn't believe in anything else."
"Although I can hide your sword cultivation, I can't hide your sword belief. But, she has only cultivated her Sword Energy to the second stage so you don't have to show your full strength."
Qin nodded his head as he glanced at Tan Jian. Without any more thoughts, he released his sword energy. Unlike his, her sword energy was blue. It was peaceful as well. He wondered what her sword belief might be.
He knew Tan Jian loves swords from a small age. He has even heard the rumor that she started training with her sword when she was only three. She almost cut herself with the real sword so Great Elder banned the sword near Tan Jian and gave her the normal sword.
Tan Jian and Qin stared at each other's eyes but didn't move. Both were trying to find a way to attack. Suddenly, Tan Jian moved. She condensed three swords out of her sword energy in the air and shot at Qin straight.
Seeing this, Qin didn't move rather condensed sword energy in his sword and swings it. While he does that, Tan Jian ran towards Qin while condensing sword energy at her sword. Qin had already seen that.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Suddenly, three swords appeared above Tan Jian and halted her steps. She raised her sword straight and stabbed it three times. Her hand movement was so fast that it even revealed his own.
'Soft Attribute!'
Suddenly, three more swords appeared above her but before she could stab them. He merged three swords together and a giant sword fell towards her.
Whoosh! Bang!
Tan Jian's eyes shrunk as she hurriedly pressed her foot hard on the ground and retreated a few steps. The sword head straight down and smashed on the ground. It pierced the array and left a deep mark on the ground.
'She dodged. Does that mean she hasn't trained Hard Attribute?'
Qin thought to himself as he took a step forward. He held his sword with both of his hands and slashed from the right horizontally. The sword energy condensed at the sword emerged out of the sword edge in the form of the sword blade and rushed towards her.
Seeing this, Tan Jian's eyes narrowed. She pressed her foot on the ground and released an immense wave of sword energy. In just a single strike, she wasted a massive amount of sword energy for this strike.
Bang!
She raised her sword and blue sword energy sparkled at the tip. She didn't use the physical strength since it was prohibited for this battle that's why she pressed the immense sword energy at the tip as she cut down.
Her sword struck at the red sword energy. The immense amount of sword energy at the tip succeed on slashing the sword energy in half but this also emptied her own sword energy.
"You doing this wrong. Sword Energy has four attributes; Power, Speed, Soft, and Hard. Your sword energy is gentle water. But, haven't you seen the flood? Haven't you seen the water flowing out when the dam is broken?"
"You have focused on speed and soft. Your hand movements are fast and the sword energy is even faster but you basically ignored Power and Hardness. Waves of the water can be harder than metal. The water pouring down the waterfall is stronger than you can imagine."
"You need to train both Power and Hard attribute as well. If you had trained them, your sword would have sliced my sword energy without using one-fourth of the sword energy you just used. You are only at the second stage that's why you don't need to worry too much."
"But from now, train all four attributes! You don't need immense physical strength to counter the physical strength. That's why people have developed these four attributes. For now, let's stop this battle. If you want, I can point you out about the Hard attribute and Power attribute."
Just when Qin finished explaining, Tan Jian appeared in front of him. She looked at him with wide eyes and nodded her head like a dog. Seeing this, Qin sighed and started pointing her about the Power Attribute and Hard Attribute.
On another side, three girls looked at Tan Jian with a heavy glare. Xinyi didn't care that much but now she wanted to get closer with Qin. Although she didn't love him, she had to marry him. And, even Gengxin told her to get closer to Qin.
After all, both of them remembered just how much he has improved in less than a month.
