Opposite him, Joe was also waiting for him.
This was a different opponent. She knew that he was different from the previous people. In Class One, Xiu Bing was a rarely seen combatant. Just how strong he was, she could get a rough idea of it from their usual fights.
Therefore, she had to be 120% cautious and aggressive in order to have a chance of victory.
She took a deep breath and circulated spiritual power under her feet. The first instant step was the starting point, opening the curtain of the battle.
Both sides 'faces were tense. Xiu Bing was thinking about how much strength he should put in when she slashed down with a heavy blow, making him immediately understand the other party's thoughts.
He would do his best to end the battle as quickly as possible.
"Do you want to compete with me in explosive power, Jiu Nan?”He narrowed his eyes and chose his words carefully." You should know your specialty.”
Your specialty isn't spiritual power, so you won't have an advantage if you fight face-to-face. He wanted to say this, but he was afraid of hurting her.
"Of course."
Her confidence surprised him, but before he could react, she attacked again. The sound of blades cutting through the wind brushed past his ears. He dodged every attack, but the distance between them was narrower than he had imagined.
"So fast…"
He looked at the afterimage of the blade in shock. Half a meter ahead of him was where the hair of the other party was flying. Every attack of hers was carried out with her life as a stake. It was really a battle technique that did not care about her life.
"There's no need to avoid it. If you can't do it, I'll force you to deal with it with all your might.”
Her words reminded him of Hai Qing.
I've long treated you as an opponent.
Had he overlooked something important?
Her body was lighter than he remembered, but it was also thinner. When she jumped into the air and rushed down like an eagle, she concentrated all her strength on the tip of the blade. Just the cold light alone was enough to scare people.
She had gradually mastered the method of imitating killing intent to fight.
He had never seen such a fierce expression on her face. To be honest, he had always subconsciously regarded her as a weak little girl next door. Although she would also practice her sword seriously, her sword could not hurt people. She was just a kind topologically deformed form.
When did she start standing so close to him?
"I…caught up, Xiu Bing.”
she said.
He caught up?
Was it when he was staring at Hai Qing and Yi Juyuan who were chasing after him?
Or was it when she first broke the protective wall of the Ghost Dao class?
Or was it the first time he defeated the First Seat of Class Two in Kendo class?
Because his gaze was too focused on one person, he ignored the person chasing after him. He did not see her expression as she approached bit by bit, and he actually felt very regretful.
How would she feel at this moment?
"Uh-"
After receiving more than a dozen vertical slashes, even a Xiu Bing's arm was numb from the shock and slowed down a little. However, the other party took a few steps back and used Instant Steps to escape from his attack range, and then suddenly appeared behind him.
I want to win…
Her eyes were filled with a strong desire. Xiu Bing's mind had long gone blank. He could only instinctively mobilize all the ling power in his body to protect his palm and turn around to attack.
"It's not that simple!"
Xiu Bing actually abandoned his back and resolutely used his body as a meat shield to counterattack.
"You…"
She did not manage to block it in time, and the direction of her defense just happened to brush past his attack route. Her cheek was cut by his knife by a small distance, and a blood arc elegantly extended along the tip of the knife, like a red pattern printed on her skin. It was beautiful and dangerous.
Almost…If she had been a little slower, she might have been seriously injured…
"Don't think that you're the only one who can fight with your life on the line, Kunan.”
Xiu Bing waved the blood off the tip of his blade and lowered his eyebrows, seriously hinting to her not to be careless.
From his angle, why would he bend his arm back to slit my throat?
She had thought of many possibilities, but she had not thought of this one. If she had not been distracted by such an attack and lost her calm, the knife would have undoubtedly landed directly on Xiu Bing's shoulder, or even a little lower, to the middle of his abdomen.
Was he betting that she would panic?
"It's still early." She could not let him have his way.
"Oh?" Xiu Bing first pulled away and then checked her injuries." Your spiritual power is almost at the critical point, right? Is there any problem?”
"How about you verify it yourself?!”
There was a voice shouting in her heart.
In battle, her potential was always unlimited. That terrifying invisible wall was approaching again and again. She could not retreat. Once she retreated, she was afraid that she would never be able to cross it.
He couldn't lose! I haven't fulfilled my promise to Captain Xiu Mu. I must get into class one in this combat test! It had to be to the point where everyone had nothing to say!
Perhaps even she herself did not realize that at that moment, the only emotion hovering in her chest was…
If spiritual power was a fated flaw, then God must have given her something else to make her stronger than anyone else.
What was the origin of such a powerful force?
To me, proving myself was already difficult enough, but I wanted to stay here more than anyone else. I was more unwilling than anyone else to be abandoned by my companions and watch them gradually leave without being able to do anything.
Maybe I'm weak, but I want to be strong.
"…That's it."
"Eh?"
All the sounds in his ears turned into nothingness, leaving only an ethereal echo that echoed in his mind for a long time.
"Who is it?"
she asked.
Other than this sentence, she didn't know what else she could say to resolve the awkwardness in front of her.
"…I have indeed received your kind intentions.”
It was still the mysterious voice from before.
Her eyes widened. The training ground in front of her, along with Xiu Bing and the others, disappeared. The yellow soil under her feet had also turned into a vast ocean. The sea was a serene blue that extended to the horizon. In the middle of the waves that seemed to be able to devour everything, a human figure that he had never seen before appeared.
Although it was blurry, she knew that it was a person's shadow.
"You…"
Her breathing became rapid.
"Are you…my knife?!”
Her doubts had been put aside by the other party for a long time. The world was so quiet that it was suffocating. The long silence of the other party made her fear and disappointment spread across the entire sea.
Just as she was about to give up, the other party finally spoke.
"If you want to defeat him, I will lend you my strength.”
Just…just that simple?
She blinked her eyes in disbelief.
