[DarkSlayer: Not gonna lie, sword fights are extremely common especially among cultivators and I feel no excitement at all. Well, I already lower my expectations but I'm still disappointed… read more.]

[Keltic_Spirit: Cultivation powers generally take on 2 forms: Skills replicate reality as understating reality gives more power, or understanding rules to create moves which generally replicate the look of reality. Which one is this world's...]

…

Both of them leaped toward each other as they swung their swords. Li Shuye's sword released a powerful ice crystal that shattered upon impact. Those shattered crystals would turn into another ice crystal once they touched something.

On the other hand, Li Wei's sword produced a ripple that pushed away those annoying ice shards and destroyed the ice crystal produced by her sword.

It looked like they had the same amount of power but the situation changed all of a sudden.

They completed their swings so that both of them would move away from each other, but during that time, they sped up.

There were two more clashes happening during the spin.

The sword saint stood up as he was able to see everything.

A cut appeared on Li Wei's arm. It was a pretty big cut, which caused him to bleed severely. To everyone's surprise, there was a cut from Li Shuye's shoulder all the way to her chest. The bleeding was much more severe than the wound on Li Wei's arm.

More importantly, everyone was simply too shocked by the fact Li Wei was able to win in that clash.

"This…" Other guardians and representatives stood up in shock.

On Li Wei's body spread the links unique to the people from the Knight World.

Javier, the Knight Realm's representative, recognized it almost instantly. "Knight Link!"

That was right. This was Li Wei's trump card. He knew that a normal method wouldn't be enough to defeat Li Shuye. Hence, he chose to do something much bigger, which was accepting the power from another world. And it wasn't any other power. It was the power that worked perfectly for a swordsman like him, the Knight Link.

Avalon wasn't the one giving the Knight Link. It was Haruka, specifically the sword king.

The sword king was smiling, satisfied with the result.

'I can't utilize the sword intent as well as she is, but I can still overwhelm her with pure brute force.'

Li Wei turned around and leaped to Li Shuye with a much faster speed.

Li Shuye wanted to strike his sword, but she was overwhelmed by the speed and ended up receiving it.

'Sword Intent.' Li Shuye activated her invisible slashes once again.

Li Wei released a burst of energy in order to push away all that power. After that, he used all his strength to start pushing her back.

"You've grown strong, Li Wei." Li Shuye smiled. The wound on her body had been frozen so that the bleeding would stop.

"I still have a lot to show." Li Wei's expression turned solemn.

Both of them exchanged slashes more than forty times. Li Wei had the upper hand the whole time, as Li Shuye seemed to be using her all just to receive Li Wei's attack.

Li Shuye's skillful sword intent allowed her to hit Li Wei from time to time. Meanwhile, Li Wei's brute force was aiming to deplete her stamina or make her hand numb.

The sword saint squinted his eyes. 'The people around here might think Li Wei is winning, but that's wrong. Li Wei is the one on the verge of losing.

'After the initial shock, Li Wei might have the upper hand, but Li Shuye is taking his attack head-on.

'She gradually gets used to Li Wei's attack. If Li Wei wants to win, he should have tried to defeat her within twenty moves. But Li Shuye's experience allowed her to deal with all his attacks. Unfortunately, the reason for his defeat is simply the skill gap for the sword intent. If he was able to use it skillfully, Li Shuye would have lost…'

The sword saint closed his eyes. It seemed the Sword King had the same opinion. It was a shame, but Li Wei had truly done his best.

"Kh." Li Wei gritted his teeth. He should have won, but for some reason, he was losing his upper hand. 'What's going on? What do I need to do?'

Li Wei might have the knight link, but he couldn't use it skillfully. In the end, there wasn't a lot of time to master it.

All of a sudden, there was an invisible slash coming from behind.

"Ah!" Li Wei widened his eyes in shock. He wanted to turn around, but it was too late. The invisible slash hit his back.

'If only I knew I had to somehow defeat her as quickly as possible… If only I got the second or third position. I would have seen through it…' Li Wei gritted his teeth.

Still, he didn't plan to go down without a fight. He stepped on the ground, supporting his entire body. After that, he made one last leap toward Li Shuye, trying to challenge her to one more clash.

Li Shuye surprisingly straightened her back and closed her eyes. "A good move, but you do this too late. All those invisible strikes you endure…"

"!!!" Li Wei's body shook as he suddenly fell to his knees.

The people were stunned. Li Shuye said, "…are meant to strike your joints. You will lose the connection between your muscles before you know it. You've grown strong. I can vouch for it. Master your strength and ability, and you shall beat me in the future."

Theo fell silent for a moment, thinking about something else. 'The real reason for his defeat is not that. Li Shuye is secretly using her invisible sword to make Li Wei uncomfortable, making him unable to think of the best move.'

Still, the match was already over. It didn't even take too long. He raised his hand, announcing the result. "End of the match."
