In front of the Forest House, Xiafeng was practicing his swordsmanship as usual. The surrounding conifer forest was filled with fog. Xia Feng practiced his sword here, giving off the feeling of an immortal performing a sword dance.
Xia Feng withdrew his sword, but he seemed to have thought of something. He didn't return to his room immediately, but stood still and frowned.
"What are you thinking about?" After thinking for a long time, Asuna's voice suddenly came from behind. Xia Feng turned around and saw Asuna standing behind him with a sweater in her hand.
"I saw that it was foggy outside. I was afraid that you would catch a cold, so I brought you a sweater.”Asuna said when she noticed that Xia Feng was looking at the sweater in her hand.
"Thank you for your hard work." Xia Feng was touched and took the sweater. He knew that Asuna had been learning sewing skills recently, and she had knitted this sweater herself.
"You still haven't told me what you're thinking.”Asuna pouted happily when she saw that her lover liked her sweater.
"I've been practicing the sword for many days and have gained a little, but I don't have a suitable opponent to test the results of my cultivation.”Xia Feng said in distress.
When Asuna heard this, she was stunned for a moment before she smiled confidently and pointed at herself.""Have you forgotten about me?"
"How could I bear to fight you?" Xia Feng smiled helplessly.”
Asuna feigned dissatisfaction." So, you're looking down on me?" Or could it be that he was a male chauvinist and was unwilling to fight with a girl?”
Xia Feng broke out in cold sweat. As expected of Asuna. She should be the one who understood him the most in this world. She directly told him the truth. However, Xia Feng did not dare to admit it.
"Of course not. How could I not know that your strength is not inferior to mine? You are the best opponent.”
"In that case, let's have a showdown today!”Asuna immediately shut Xia Feng up.
"Do I still need to make a decision?" Xia Feng smiled bitterly. You're a female and I'm a male."
Although he said that, he knew that Asuna was tough on the outside but soft on the inside. She would never admit defeat. The two of them had known each other for a long time and knew each other's strength. However, since they had never fought in actual combat, it was hard to say who was better. Now that Asuna had a sudden urge to fight and wanted to see who was better than him, it was no longer up to him to stop fighting.
Asuna put on her equipment and sent a duel invitation to Xiafeng, who accepted it. Before he could react, Asuna's sword light had already appeared in front of him. Yes, he could only see the sword light, but not the sword.
"So fast!" Xia Feng's expression changed slightly. As expected of a sword that even Kirito could not see clearly. If he was prepared and could see Asuna's movements clearly, he would be able to determine the direction of Asuna's attack before she attacked and defend against it. However, now that Asuna had seized the initiative and her sword had already been drawn, even he could not defend himself in time.
Since they couldn't defend, they would attack. Although Asuna was talented, powerful, and experienced, she was only a powerful player now, not a powerful swordsman. The sword skills she used were still game skills. Xia Feng had seen these sword techniques countless times and knew their flaws. Xiafeng's sword pierced through Asuna's sword net.
Asuna attacked first, so Xiafeng would be the first to be stunned. However, Asuna was using a low-level sword skill, so the stun duration was short. Xiafeng's level was higher and his resistance was higher, which was why he chose to fight Asuna. As long as he hit Asuna, she would also be stunned. Then, he would break free from the stun and the offensive and defensive momentum could be reversed in an instant.
Unfortunately, Xiafeng was still too sweet. If Asuna was so easy to deal with, how could she have made a name for herself as " Flash "? Just as Xia Feng's sword missed Asuna by one point, he was stunned and the tip of his sword stopped in front of Asuna's chest.
Seeing that Xia Feng had shamelessly attacked her chest, Asuna was furious. She continuously used her low-level sword skills, beating Xia Feng until he was unable to break free from his stun and could only take the beating passively.
However, Xiafeng had the level advantage, so Asuna could not completely stun him. After all, sword skills had a cooldown time. If Asuna wanted to attack endlessly, she had to control her rhythm and master the cooldown time of her sword skills. If Asuna had a 1-second cooldown time for each sword skill, then as long as her opponent was stunned for 1 second, she could continue to attack endlessly. However, Xia Feng was only stunned for 0.9 seconds. This 0.1 second was his weakness. However, once Asuna saw through it, she only needed to adjust her attack rhythm to continue suppressing Xiafeng. After all. Just this flaw alone was not enough for Xia Feng to escape from his predicament and launch a counterattack. So he pretended to be completely stunned, and Asuna did not notice, maintaining her attack rhythm. Hence, after every move, Xia Feng would have an extra 0.1 seconds. After ten moves, he immediately launched a counterattack.
Asuna didn't expect Xiafeng to break free from the stun in time. In her shock, she couldn't dodge Xiafeng's attack perfectly. The rhythm of the battle was disrupted, and for a moment, the offensive and defensive situation reversed. With Xiafeng's eyesight, he could easily see through Asuna's intentions from her actions, and then break it in advance. It was just like how a person could not dodge a bullet, but he could dodge the aim of the person who fired the gun.
However, Asuna had a lot of combat experience. In the previous round of attacks, Xiafeng's HP was already lower than hers. As long as she stabilized herself and fought with Xia Feng, the one who would lose in the end would definitely be Xia Feng.
Xia Feng also realized this. Although he did not want to lose to his wife, there was no need to be too calculative. Therefore, he didn't panic. Instead, he continued to fight steadily, displaying the essence of the scabbard style. He used his scabbard to block the enemy's weapon and his sword to attack. Balance offense and defense, create openings.
Asuna felt a little regretful when she saw that Xiafeng did not panic. If Xiafeng had panicked, she would have won the competition. And now, the special fighting style of the scabbard style was indeed difficult to deal with. Xia Feng fought steadily, and she was at a slight disadvantage in the battle between the two. Her HP was decreasing faster than Xia Feng.
This time, it was a competition to see who had half of their HP left.
Celica heard the commotion and came out with Knot. She was dumbfounded. Two figures were entangled in the arena. As the sword light flickered, the sound of dense metal clashing could be heard.
"So…so powerful!”Celica exclaimed.
"Daddy, you can do it! Mom, you can do it!" Little Red Shirt waved his flag and shouted.
Seeing that Xiafeng was still a little bit away from falling into the yellow range, Asuna decided to use her ultimate skill to end it. After another wave of stun, Asuna prepared for an instant sword skill.
"Star Fragments Splash!"
After three mid-range stabs, he turned to attack Xia Feng's lower body. Then, he tilted his sword upward, and the tip of the sword emitted a pure white light. He also attacked with two powerful stabs in a row.
However…
"Blocked…blocked!”Asuna said in disbelief.
Asuna's sword was like a shooting star, and she used eight high-level sword skills in an instant, but Xia Feng blocked all of them.
Unlike Asuna, Xiafeng was not only a powerful player, but also a decent swordsman. He had long since broken through these familiar sword skills. Just like Heathcliffe, he was already very powerful before he revealed the Holy Sword. The reason was that he understood all the sword skills in SAO and knew how to deal with them.
When Asuna was preparing for the attack, Xiafeng could already tell that it was a meteor shower. The trajectory of the attack also appeared in his mind. He immediately raised his scabbard vertically in the direction of Asuna's attack and blocked it. After blocking the first attack, he immediately changed his direction to block the second and third attack. Then, he launched a counterattack. Asuna, who was in a stunned state, was easily hit by Xiafeng until her HP fell into the yellow range. In the end, this battle between the male and female did not turn the female into the male, and the male into the female.
Asuna was a little depressed after her failure. She had received an elite education since she was young and had faced countless difficulties and challenges, but she never admitted defeat and worked hard to overcome them. Now, she had finally failed.
"Silly, if I'm not strong enough, how can I protect you?”Xiafeng comforted Asuna gently when he saw her sad face.
Hearing Xia Feng's words, Asuna's heart suddenly brightened. Yes, although I lost to my lover, just as he said, the stronger he is, the more he can protect himself. However…
"You guys? Who else do you want to protect?" Asuna's dangerous gaze swept over Silika. The other party seemed to have yet to react. Otherwise, he would definitely have fallen into a strange delusion.
The corner of Xia Feng's mouth twitched, and he hurriedly said,"I'm talking about the knot."?”
"Hmph, at least you know what's good for you." Asuna shook her head proudly and was about to go to her cute and obedient daughter.
"Hah! Your whole family came out early in the morning to enjoy the cold wind!”A playful laugh rang out.
Xia Feng turned around and saw a hooded girl with three mustaches on each side of her face walking over.
"Yo, Argo, you're here!”Xia Feng greeted the newcomer.
Argo the Rat was Ain Grand's most famous information dealer. He claimed that he would sell anything as long as it was information, except for the identity of a closed beta player.
"I've already found out what you wanted me to help you with.”
