When they arrived at the training ground, Ling Yun and Huang Zhii saw many disciples from the Sword Ascension Sect gathered around the area, watching a male senior disciple from the sect sparring with a male disciple from the Frozen Pavilion.
In the east, they saw five disciples from the Frozen Pavilion cheering on their seniors, but their voices were drowned out by the clamorous cheers of the disciples of the Sword Ascension Sect.
The two n sparred using swords, but the male disciple of the Frozen Pavilion used an ice sword to fight the male disciple of the Sword Ascension Sect.
The disciples of the Sword Ascension Sect were shocked when they saw Huang Zhii holding Ling Yun's hand, but they imdiately gave way to the two of them to the front row while wondering in their hearts about their relationship.
"Who are they?" Ling Yun asked Huang Zhii.
"The male disciple from my sect is Sheng Jiang, and his opponent is Sha Huabing." Huang Zhii replied as she seriously observed their movents. "Brother Jiang will lose to him."
Ling Yun nodded in agreent with that. "Sheng Jiang's footwork is indeed good, and his speed is really fast. Unfortunately, his accuracy is too low, and he has difficulty finding gaps in his enemy's attacks and defense. Sha Huabing, on the other hand, has a little slower speed and stiff footwork. However, his observation is sharp, and he had no difficulty in thwarting your sect brother's attacks. If I were in his position, I could defeat your sect brother in a few moves."
"You're right." Huang Zhii gave a light nod. "Sheng Jiang's biggest weakness is that he is too hasty to finish a fight, and he is too dependent on his speed. He always thinks that his fast speed can overco his enemy, but unfortunately, speed will not always be superior, especially if we fight an enemy with calm and keen observation, like Sha Huabing. As long as he can't read the gaps in his enemy's attack and defense, he will never be able to defeat him."
"Hey, Senior Sister Zhii!" Huang Zhii turned to Zhu Quezi, who had just arrived with Tian Jingyun. "Why don't you introduce your lover to ?"
Huang Zhii let out a soft sigh. "Quezi, Ling Yun is not my lover but my fiancé, and we will be married soon."
Huang Zhii's revelation caused the disciples of the Sword Ascension Sect, who had previously been so enthusiastically cheering on Sheng Jiang, to fall into silence.
They focused their gazes on Ling Yun, but many female disciples looked jealous of Huang Zhii, as did many male disciples who were envious of him, especially since she was their goddess.
The five disciples from the Frozen Pavilion noticed their situation and focused their attention on the two. They naturally recognized Huang Zhii, especially since she was one of the best in the Sword Ascension Sect. However, they did not recognize Ling Yun because he had never appeared in public before, and only a few senior cultivators from the domain had t and witnessed his battles.
Zhu Quezi stared at Huang Zhii with repeated blinking. "Is he really your fiancé, Senior Sister?"
"Do I need to make up a story about our relationship?" Zhu Quezi shook her head at Huang Zhii. "Ling Yun has already t with my parents before, and they have agreed to our marriage."
"Hey! Senior Brother Sheng lost!" A disciple suddenly shouted.
All of them imdiately turned their attention to the two n, and Sheng Jiang knelt on the ground with one knee, panting heavily.
The disciples of the Frozen Pavilion were overjoyed by Sha Huabing's victory, while the disciples of the Sword Ascension Sect were disappointed by Sheng Jiang's defeat.
"Thank you for your ti, Brother Sheng." Sheng Jiang imdiately left the field and gave the others a chance to challenge Sha Huabing, but he was more interested in Huang Zhii. "Sister Huang, can we spar today?"
"I—"
Before Huang Zhii answered, Ling Yun had already asked Sha Huabing. "Can I spar against you, Brother?"
'What are you thinking? Why do you suddenly want to fight Sha Huabing?' Ling Yun simply smiled in response to Huang Zhii, causing her to raise an eyebrow.
"Hmm?" Sha Huabing raised his eyebrows for a mont, as did the five disciples from the Frozen Pavilion. After all, Ling Yun's cultivation was too low to fight them, and he was not a disciple of the Sword Ascension Sect either.
Unlike them, the disciples from the Sword Ascension Sect were eager to see Ling Yun fight, and many of them were prepared to mock him if he lost to Sha Huabing, mainly because of his relationship with Huang Zhii.
Seeing all of them doubting Ling Yun, Tian Jingyun imdiately spoke to Sha Huabing. "Brother Sha, please don't judge a book by its cover. Even though Brother Ling is not a disciple of our sect, he is Junior Sister Zhii's fiancé, so he is still part of us."
Ling Yun asked Sha Huabing once again. "Can we spar now, Brother?"
"Sure." Sha Huabing finally agreed, as he was curious about the reason Huang Zhii chose Ling Yun as her fiancé.
Ling Yun walked toward the middle of the field while summoning the Chaos Dragon Broadsword, which shocked both Sha Huabing and the people present at the scene, especially since such a huge and heavy weapon was rare. Moreover, he could lift it so easily, which showed his perfect adaptation to his weapon.
Soon, Ling Yun stood in front of Sha Huabing and swung his broadsword a few tis. "Let's start, Brother."
"Yeah." However, Sha Huabing did not imdiately move to attack Ling Yun, mainly because of the calmness on his face. 'What happened? How did he manage to suppress his aura and presence to this extent? He was right in front of , but I also felt that he was not there.'
Ling Yun himself had not moved from his spot either, and he waited for Sha Huabing to make a move, confusing the disciples from both sects.
.
.
.
In the upper area of the training ground, three people had just arrived. They were Tian Jianshen and the two leaders of the Frozen Pavilion, Yuan Tian and Xue Jing.
"Haha." Tian Jianshen laughed after he saw Ling Yun. "I didn't expect this kid to co here so soon, so I didn't have to wait for him for too long. Hey, Brother Yuan, your direct disciple will lose to him."
"Yes." Yuan Tian did not doubt Tian Jianshen's words. "The younger generation always surpasses the older generation, and this kid is one of them. Who exactly is he? Who is his master? Even with my senses, I can't feel his presence or aura in the slightest."
" too." Xue Jing spoke as she seriously looked at Ling Yun. "No matter how neatly we disguise our aura and presence, both will inevitably leak a little, but I can't feel either of them from him."
Tian Jianshen imdiately told them. "His na is Ling Yun, and he just arrived in our domain a few months ago. I don't know the identity of his master, but I've seen him fight once, and his fighting ability is far above mine."
"Hmm?" Yuan Tian and Xue Jing turned to him in surprise. "Is his fighting ability really that good?"
"Yes." Tian Jianshen nodded at him. "If you don't believe , you can go there and replace your disciple, especially since Ling Yun can defeat him in just a move."
Xue Jing imdiately left the two n and floated down to the fighting area, unlike Yuan Tian, who hesitated to fight a younger generation like Ling Yun.
.
.
.
"Huabing."
"Hmm?" Ling Yun and Sha Huabing looked up at Xue Jing directly.
Xue Jing was a graceful and cold beauty, floating like a snow fairy. Her face was calm, with slightly pale skin and soft lips. Her wide eyes were clear but showed a hint of coldness. A snowflake-like mark rested on her forehead, adding to her icy aura. Her long, black hair was flowing behind her like a dark waterfall, decorated with white feathers and silver hairpins.
Xue Jing wore a long, icy-blue robe covered in leaf-like patterns. The dress fit her body perfectly, showing her slim waist and soft curves. Her chest was soft and round, subtly outlined under the smooth fabric, adding a quiet sense of charm without being too revealing.
"What's wrong, Sect Master Xue?"
Xue Jing looked at Ling Yun, who was also looking at her with a faint smile. "You can withdraw now, and I will replace you to spar with him."
After Xue Jing said that, Sha Huabing and everyone present were silent for quite a while before screaming in shock. "What? Did I hear correctly? Why does Sect Master Xue want to fight a young cultivator like him?"
"Sect Master Xue, I—"
"Please step back." Xue Jing summoned her long white sword and asked Ling Yun. "Is it okay if I replace him to fight you?"
Ling Yun cracked her neck before nodding to her. "I have fought with so outstanding swordsn in the past, and one of them was the best in the upper realms, but I believe your swordsmanship skills are above theirs. Therefore, I have no objections to you replacing your disciple; however, I hope that you will not fight half-heartedly and that you will use all your swordsmanship skills when fighting ."
'Has this brat gone mad? Why did he ask Sect Master Xue to use all her sword skills? Isn't he afraid of death? ' Everyone had the sa thought in their minds.
Sha Huabing and the five disciples of the Frozen Sect looked at Ling Yun with disdain, especially since they knew Xue Jing's true strength and abilities, making them think that he was too arrogant and overestimated himself.
Only Huang Zhii, Tian Jingyun, Tian Jianshen, and Yuan Tian did not have such thoughts about Ling Yun.
"Don't worry, I won't fight half-heartedly against you." Xue Jing imdiately released her sword Qi, and a huge transparent sword appeared behind her, causing everyone in the place to gasp in shock.
Sha Huabing, who felt pressured by Xue Jing's action, imdiately ran to the side and joined his sect disciples.
Ling Yun smiled, raised his left hand, and clenched his fist. In an instant, his sword Qi radiated from his body, followed by the appearance of a transparent sword that was much larger than Xue Jing's, silencing the audience.
'Incredible!' Xue Jing scread in amazent inside her heart as she tightened the hilt of her sword, but people could see that her right hand was shaking. Even so, she was shaking not because she was afraid of Ling Yun, but because she was shaking with excitent.
"Let's do it."
Ling Yun and Xue Jing moved at the sa ti, and their weapons quickly clashed with each other, causing a strong wind wave to sweep across the area and sending most of the audience flying backwards.
*Swoosh*
"Gahhh!"
