When Earth Awakened, I Became a Sword Saintess

Chapter 97 : Chen Qian'ning's Strength

97: Chen Qian'ning's Strength

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!

The new students in the stands were all captivated by his handsome and sharp movements; the fan was so fast when he attacked that it was hard to see clearly.

"Slow."

"Too slow..." But in Yuyin's eyes, the blurry iron fan that Ximen Liang brandished was like a slow-motion replay of a dismantled sequence.

Yuyin could now clearly feel that although Ximen Liang was at Early-Stage of Spirit-Seeking and had just broken through not long ago, Yuyin's own Spirit-Seeking Early Stage could defeat someone at the late stage of training. Now that Yuyin had reached the Mid-Stage of Spirit-Seeking, this gap had only widened.

Without exchanging blows, one could not intuitively feel this gap.

But using an iron fan as a weapon was something new.

Facing Ximen Liang's relentless attacks with his fan, Yuyin seemed to be moving slowly, but in reality, she was retreating with the most appropriate movements, dodging Ximen Liang's consecutive attacks with just her footwork.

Ximen Liang couldn't help but sweat on his forehead. Suddenly, his eyes flashed, and he unleashed a surprise kick.

"Oh? This kick is not bad." Yuyin saw the trajectory of Ximen Liang's leg and struck first, using the Ancient Temple Leg Technique. A heavy and extremely swift kick shot out.

Bang!

The two of them exchanged leg techniques.

"Ouch!" Ximen Liang couldn't help but cry out in pain, falling to the ground. Yuyin's leg was too heavy. Although Yuyin hadn't used her full strength, this kick made Ximen Liang's calf feel a piercing pain. He flushed red, trying his best to hold back from crying out again, in great agony.

Shua.

Yuyin's jet-black longsword pointed at Ximen Liang's throat. Her gaze was like water, looking down at Ximen Liang. Although Ximen Liang had been frivolous with his words towards her before, he was still a classmate. In the future, perhaps one day, Ximen Liang would also go to the battlefield. Yuyin thought for a moment and decided to give him some pointers.

"Ximen Liang, your lower body is unstable, and your moves have feints mixed in with your attacks. Remember, when you face a strong enemy in the future, do not use your legs with such wide movements. If this had been a real fight, you would already be dead."

These words made Ximen Liang's heart skip a beat.

He thought to himself, damn it, you've already won, and you're still lecturing me. I, Ximen Liang, have bedded countless women in twenty years and have never been lectured like this by a woman!

"Hah!" Ximen Liang grew fierce. With a loud shout, he swung his iron fan towards Yuyin's legs.

"Letting others see through your emotions and intentions is like giving them a free gift," Yuyin said coolly as she easily dodged.

"Shut up!" Ximen Liang, furious from embarrassment, wildly waved his iron fan and attacked.

"Ding, from Ximen Liang's extreme anger. Gained 20 Soul Charm Points."

According to the competition rules, losing the ability to fight, falling to the ground for 10 seconds without getting up, conceding, or being knocked off the stage, all counted as a loss. Although Ximen Liang had fallen, it didn't count as a loss yet.

Yuyin's tall and graceful figure moved with calm swiftness as she dodged. "Ximen Liang, the value of a weapon like a fan lies in its versatility and speed. By using such brute force and rage, you have lost the true characteristics of the fan, and with it, your threat."

"Shut up, just shut up!" Under Ximen Liang's frantic attacks, his Primordial Energy consumption was immense, and he had long lost his cool. "Even if I can't win, I'm going to give you a few good whacks!"

Yuyin could have ended this match long ago. She had sincerely wanted to give him some pointers, but he wouldn't listen. Since that was the case...

Yuyin's eyes focused. Suddenly, she gripped her longsword with one hand, and a surge of Primordial Energy converged on the blade.

Snap!

With a wide, open movement, the longsword suddenly flicked upwards, sending Ximen Liang's iron fan flying. The force of this flick was so great that it directly fractured two of Ximen Liang's fingers.

However, Yuyin's figure shifted with the movement. Thud! A swift kick landed on Ximen Liang's abdomen, sending him flying off the stage.

He had only just broken through to Early-Stage of Spirit-Seeking. For Yuyin to end the match was as easy as turning her hand.

"Although I, your big sister, also want to earn Soul Charm Points, since you don't want to listen, then forget it," Yuyin thought calmly.

Her ponytail swayed, and once again, countless mobile phones and DSLRs recorded the brilliant moment. The entire venue was a sea of flashing lights.

Strangely, after this match, quite a few of Ximen Liang's female fans broke away from their original group and joined Yuyin's female fan club.

This was probably something else that would baffle Ximen Liang.

However, Ximen Liang's group draw was a bit unlucky. With his strength, if he hadn't run into Yuyin so early, he still had a good chance of making it to the top eight and participating in the first-year group's finals.

In the third round of the preliminaries, Yuyin also passed with ease.

And so, the preliminary stage ended. Yuyin, Qin Feizhen, Hu Yidun, Ouyang Ning, and four others advanced to the first-year group finals. The first-year group finals would be held in November.

After the competition, Yuyin received a text message from Chen Qian'ning.

"Yuyin, come."

"This teacher... she didn't even say where."

But usually, when she didn't specify a location, it meant her office.

Was this for body refinement? But she had just finished her match and hadn't even had time to shower or anything. But her teacher was very busy, so if she wanted her to come, she should go quickly.

In Chen Qian'ning's large office.

"Oh, you changed your hairstyle today?" Chen Qian'ning stood up and praised her as Yuyin entered. "Mm, this ponytail suits you too. It looks good."

"Teacher..." Although Yuyin used to be a boy, she had adapted to her female body quite quickly. Now, she almost forgot she was ever a boy. Being told she looked good made her heart flutter with a secret joy.

"Close the door and lock it," Chen Qian'ning said.

"Ah, okay..." Having her lock the door meant another impromptu body refinement session. Her teacher was indeed busy, always calling her over suddenly and wanting to start immediately.

"Yuyin, you performed very well in the match." Chen Qian'ning gently placed her hand on Yuyin's waist and walked with her to the sofa. "The gap in strength between you and those classmates is too large. You won without injuring them, which is the right thing to do. Also, remember to point out their shortcomings afterwards. Guidance from a strong person in a real combat situation will be very beneficial for their cultivation."

"Mm..." Yuyin nodded and didn't say much. In her opinion, whether to guide someone depended on the person.

"I happen to be free today. It's been a long time since we've Dual Cultivated. I kind of miss it. What about you? Have you been Dual Cultivating every day with your delicate little sister and forgotten about your teacher?" Chen Qian'ning whispered in Yuyin's ear with a slightly punishing tone.

"How could I?" Yuyin said, lowering her head slightly. But she found it hard to resist Chen Qian'ning's breath by her ear.

"Your hair... is so beautiful." Chen Qian'ning gently lifted Yuyin's ponytail and then let it fall slowly.

"Teacher, how are we going to practice today?" Yuyin said quickly.

"Ah, today, let the teacher be the attacking side. You'll defend."

"Eh? But you said a few times before that I should also try being the attacker. We still haven't tried it?"

"Hehe, your strength is still a bit lacking. If you were to attack, could you even defeat me?" Chen Qian'ning's gaze held a confident glint, the confidence of a female powerhouse. A faint blush also appeared on her mature face.

"I understand, Teacher. I have a question, I'm not sure if I can ask it."

"Mm? What is it?"

"What exactly is your level of strength and realm, Teacher?"

Chen Qian'ning's expression sank slightly. She flicked her teaching whip, lightly smacking Yuyin's perky buttocks twice. "What? Are you really thinking that one day you'll be able to defeat me in this body refinement? You deserve a spanking."

"Teacher..." Yuyin's face flushed slightly. "What Yuyin means is, to fully utilize the effects of this body refinement method, don't we need a balance of mutual attack and defense?"

"Mm, you have a point. But there's no rush right now. Maintaining our current roles is also very effective. In short, when the time is right, I will switch positions with you. Don't be anxious."

"As for your question about my strength, there's no need to hide it from you. My strength is: Purple Domain Perfection."

"Purple Domain Perfection." Yuyin looked at Chen Qian'ning, who was slightly taller than her and had an equally perfect figure. She couldn't help but feel a sense of admiration. Her teacher was truly powerful!

"Today, let's practice on the sofa. But the positions will be varied. The sofa is a bit soft, so for some positions, we can also make use of this coffee table." Chen Qian'ning's voice was gentle, and she drew close to Yuyin, full of anticipation.
