[DarkSlayer: The battle is gonna be legendary(probably)!]

[Keltic_Spirit: It would be funny if Oliver is sneaking around the arena's edge and 'stealing' any stray shots, or at least try to and fail hilariously.]

[TheTavius08: Let's see how the first of the Awakened fare.I got a parley on him]

…

As the battle was about to start, Theo took this time to take a glimpse of the comments. 'Well, I don't know if it's going to be legendary, but I'm looking forward to Li Wei's performance.

'And that's what he's doing right now, but he's not necessarily sneaking around.' Theo glanced at the side of the arena where Oliver was proudly declaring himself as a battle cleaner. Considering his opponent was that Victoria, he knew it wouldn't hurt to store all the abilities.

'And yes, let's see…' After replying to the comments, the count turned to zero.

In that instant, both Li Wei and Li Shuye disappeared from their spots. They both increased their speed to the maximum.

Cling!

A clicking sound echoed in the middle of the arena as both Li Wei and Li Shuye had swung their swords.

Both of them still hadn't used their essence yet, relying on their physical ability to check each other out.

It had been a while since Li Shuye took a look at her nephew's strength, while Li Wei had never seen Li Shuye seriously fight.

The difference in their fighting styles was immediately shown by the next move.

Li Shuye disappeared from Li Wei's vision. Her speed didn't increase. However, her movement was so smooth that it felt like she had turned into a ghost.

"!!!" Li Wei was startled but soon recovered. His instinct was telling him to strike on the left, and he did.

Clink!

Another clicking sound echoed in the arena.

"I see. My nephew can't be tricked by such a smooth movement, huh? In that case, how about this?"

All of a sudden, Li Shuye split into two and attacked Li Wei from both sides.

Li Wei took a step back before slashing downward as if he had no intention of attacking her. However, his energy flowed to his sword and that slashing motion released all that energy.

The swing was soft but flowing. It actually swayed to the left and right once. That movement caused the energy to be disrupted and created a ripple on both sides.

Both Li Shuyes actually blocked it as they were pushed back. The one on the left disappeared right after that, while the real Li Shuye looked shocked. "Is that… the Ripple?"

"Ripple Sword, First Form, Dawn Ripple Execution." Li Wei nodded.

The sword saint was smiling proudly. This was his sword technique. He was glad that Li Wei was able to master it. There were not a lot of things he could say regarding his mastery, showing how much Li Wei had grown in the past year.

Li Shuye smiled. "In that case, I have to take this fight a bit more seriously."

She raised her sword. The atmosphere gradually changed as the tension increased. The arena became silent as the wind could be heard from the arena.

Li Shuye hadn't done anything, but all of a sudden, Li Wei's instinct picked up a danger coming from his right. He hurriedly turned around, but he was still one step too late.

An invisible slash hit him on the arm. The power wasn't much, but it was still grazing his arm.

After that, a few more strikes suddenly threatened him.

Li Wei tried to follow his instinct and struck all of them, yet he failed in every single one of them.

"Kh!" Li Wei gritted his teeth. 'What is going on?'

Li Wei couldn't see the attack and Li Shuye hadn't even moved from her spot.

The sword saint scratched the back of his head. 'Can't he go easy on her nephew? She is known as the Invisible Blade of the Snow Blossom Sect. That's practically her sword intent. Although Li Wei has opened the latest stage of sword intent, his mastery is still pretty low.

'And there is another reason people attach the name of the Snow Blossom Sect to her title…'

The sword saint's expression turned solemn.

All of a sudden, the invisible strike that hit Li Wei all erupted.

The eruption carried the ice element, which created ice crystals all over Li Wei's body.

"Aggghhh!" Li Wei gritted his teeth, enduring the pain. Still, because of this eruption, he finally understood what he was up against.

His left hand was shaking, but he put two fingers on his sword and released his own energy.

The burst of energy shattered the ice spikes from his body. After that, the residual wave continued neutralizing the invisible blades.

"Ha… Ha…" Li Wei panted before swinging his sword downwards. He released all that energy in all directions, removing all the invisible blades.

"So, that's how it is… You are hiding your sword intent on the surrounding energy. Then, the sword intent erupts, turning into a strike. And your sword intent carries your element, which ends up sparking." Li Wei narrowed his eyes.

"Correct." Li Wei simply explained the reason for her title. Unfortunately, she could only unleash a small portion of her power. If not, that invisible strike was enough to actually cut the entire building in half.

"You might want to use everything from the start, Li Wei. Or else you might not get the chance to unleash it. This will affect your score, you know?"

"Thanks for the advice, but this is not a mere fight." Li Wei slightly switched his stance. "This is also an opportunity to learn how to utilize my ability properly. And I finally understand that even though my sword intent is enough, I still lack the physical strength to use it."

Li Wei noticed the subtle movement that Li Shuye made to create those invisible strikes. It was impossible for him, but there was one thing he could do to bridge that gap.

"Then show it to me."

Li Wei and Li Shuye leaped toward each other.

Li Wei gathered his sword intent at the tip of his sword while Li Shuye released her ice element, causing her sword to emit blue light.

"Snowing Mountain External Slash."

"Ripple Sword, Second Style, Extending Divine Air."
