บท 34: Sparring
"Then do you want to spar with me, Mu Yue? It is a good exercise after your breakthrough." Jun Qing suggested.
Mu Yue thought about it and agreed. She now wants to know how far did her strength grow. A quick combat would be ideal.
"Then we will fight after eating breakfast. Let's meet up in the training ground after an hour."
Mu Yue ate and went to the training ground. She then tried to sense her spiritual energy then covered her body with it. She has a feeling that the suit she created was almost two times stronger than the suit she had before breaking through. Jun Qing then arrived at the training ground.
"The rules are simple, we will cover our body with spiritual energy. The fight will stop if a person's protective suit broke or if they were drained of their spiritual energy. It's also best to stop if an attack will become fatal." Jun Qing stated.
The two then went to their positions and prepared themselves.
"I'll throw this stone upward. The moment it goes down, the fight will begin." Jun Qing said.
Jun Qing then threw the stone upward. Both of them were alert and ready to strike. The moment the stone touched the ground, they dashed towards each other and attacked.
Jun Qing started with a downward slash while Mu Yue did an upward diagonal slash. The swords met and both bounced back. Mu Yue quickly slashed horizontally. Jun Qing's sword was still over his head so he had no choice but to jump back to dodge.
Mu Yue stayed close to him, doing numerous sword strikes. Jun Qing was slower and can only block 2 of every 3 strikes of Mu Yue. Seeing this, he decided to attack with a sword technique.
"Heavy Slash"
Sensing the powerful strike, Mu Yue decided to dash away instead of blocking. When the sword hit the ground, the impact created a lot of dust and left a small crater.
This exchange helped Mu Yue to gauge Jun Qing's strength. She noticed that his strikes are heavy but slow. She decided to now use her master's sword skill to wear out Jun Qing.
Mu Yue started her attack, she slowly increased her speed and the number of her strikes increased. This and the way she strikes made it harder for Jun Qing to properly counter-attack. Her strikes landed on Jun Qing's protective suit of spiritual energy, slowly weakening it.
Jun Qing was now quickly losing spiritual energy. He has used a lot of it to temporarily boost his body to try and avoid Mu Yue's strikes. He then jumped away from Mu Yue to repair his protective suit but failed to do so as Mu Yue quickly closes the distance.
Mu Yue decided to finish the fight and launch a sword technique.
"Rain Strike"
"Rupture Slash"
The two skills landed on Jun Qing. The first skill heavily damaged his protective suit while the latter broke it apart, knocking him back and falling to the ground.
"Ugh… Your sword skill is too strong Mu Yue. You totally suppressed me." Jun Qing said as he stands up to check for injuries.
"Yours is good too but my sword skill counters yours. I took advantage of being agile to land more hits. My cultivation level also helped in strengthening my sword techniques." Mu Yue said.
They both chatted for a while, talking about their fight and what to improve. What the problem of Mu Yue's sword skill is that she lacks power in her strikes. She mostly used her spiritual energy to be agile, launching multiple light attacks as fast as possible. Her attacks also contain feints which also uses a bit of her energy.
After the fight, Mu Yue took a bath and then encountered Xiao Yan. Mu Yue didn't know if she was still in a bad mood but decided to accompany her as they both will go to the principal room after lunch.
While eating, Mu Yue was peeking at Xiao Yan. It has been a week since Xiao Yan was in a bad mood so she decided to ask her.
"Xiao Yan, you have been in a bad mood for a week now. Can you tell me the reason?"
"A certain someone caused me to be in a bad mood."
Hearing this, Mu Yue quickly said, "Who is it? I might be able to help."
Xiao Yan just stared at her. She then pointed at Mu Yue and said, "You."
"Ah?"
