Jian Qing and Ling Ai had suddenly exchanged places."What the-" Ling Ai"s eyes widened and her pupil contracted as she was defenseless being thrown like an arrow that can"t control its own movements.
Satisfaction and excitement were seen on the faces of the dragon swords and their eyes twinkled as they watched Jian Qing controlling and leading the fight with Ling Ai. While White Mustache was surprised by Jian Qing"s composure and perfect plan, he was also not threatened at all by Ling Ai"s strength exhibition.
"This was his plan since the start!" Ling Ai thought.
Jian Qing jumped above Ling Ai and cast an attack skill towards Ling Ai below him.
"Hundred Wind sting!"
But before releasing the attack, Ling Ai was critically thinking faster on how to defend or counterattack Jian Qing behind her. She saw a jade tile rubble on the ground that was caused by Han Liang"s punch earlier and quickly grabbed the rubble then she pushed her palm to the ground to forcefully stop her movement.
Ling Ai coated the jade rubble with glowing red chi and she swiftly turned around facing Jian Qing on the air that was about to cast an attack skill at her.
_bang bang bang!
Hundreds of jade rubble were thrown like a flare towards Jian Qing on the air. The Martial arts wind sting of Jian Qing and the coated jade rubble of Ling Ai clashed in the air that caused dust covering the area. But Jian Qing...
After the dust faded, Jian Qing was barely standing spattered in blood as he was pierced by some of the jade rubble he didn"t manage to block or dodge.
"A sword... a black panther creation, now a coated rubble?! She"s- she"s a celestial pract.i.tioner!" Before Jian Qing got knocked out he uttered words acknowledging Ling Ai"s true capability.
"Winner! Ling Ai!" White Mustache was the first one to regain a sober mind witnessing such unbelievable skill Ling Ai displayed. While all of the audience, the dragon swords were still in shock as all of them thought that Ling Ai was about to lose in a cornered state. But she still found a way out and turned it on her own advantage as Jian Qing can"t move in the air receiving directly all of Ling Ai"s range attack.
"You almost got me, you"re strong Jian Qing." Ling Ai bowed down as she was announced the winner of the second duel.
"Who"s next?" White Mustache facing the dragon swords smiling. He knew from the beginning that Ling Ai already had limitless potential and was planning to take her as one of the Full Moon Clan warriors.
"Jian Qing... All of the dragon swords have average knowledge and cultivation in warrior"s talents, and what Jian Qing mastered most is the archer talents. Han Liang is a master of Warrior talents, while Zheng Xie is a master of shaman talents and so am I... But young lady Ling Ai had shown deeper understanding in terms of strength, agility, and intelligence as she has shown excellent results in her black panther creation, superb physical skills for a warrior, and coated weapon for an archer. She is a Celestial pract.i.tioner able to atop us all from every aspect of the Martial arts world and she has proven it to us very clearly, also taking at hand that she doesn"t have her sword with her.
We don"t have any reason to duel her anymore, as we are not yet of the same level as hers. All of us dragonswords agreed to admit defeat. She had already proven herself deserving of honor and respect. We are pleased to have you part of our clan young lady Ling Ai. Dragonswords!"
Fan Liu the beautiful young woman dragonsword explained thoroughly and break down every detail of Ling Ai"s capabilities and strength.
"Welcome to the family, young lady Ling Ai." The six dragonswords bowed down their heads to Ling Ai as they finally recognized her as one of them. While Han Liang and Jian Qing were lying on the ground unconsciously.
"Ling Ai"er, meet me at my temple in the evening. I"ll train you there and give you your reward." White Mustache smiled at Ling Ai and gave off a sigh to his dragonswords.
"Yes for sure, White Mustache. Expect me to be there this evening. Thanks a lot for today, and see you later dragonswords. Get well sooner Han Liang and Jiang Qing, you guys are indeed strong." After Ling Ai uttered such encouraging words she left a blurry figure leaving the platform.
"Now I need to go and get my Xenohorn sword. Well, I"m sure they will be there because today is the day of the Luban Sect exams. I"m just glad White Mustache offered me a privilege ticket that I can immediately join the Black Crow Country compet.i.tion even without winning any fight during the Luban Sect registration exams. Sure is favored, I"m blessed indeed." Ling Ai left the Full Moon Clan as White Mustache directed her the way to exit the hidden place.
Ling Ai arrived at the Luban Sect fortress around afternoon. And it was already down to half the partic.i.p.ants. 50 Martial arts apprentices fighting for the second round.
"I made it in time, good thing I remembered to conceal my true cultivation rank. And... there they are." Ling Ai was watching them using her eyes of divinity from a tall tree near the walls of the Luban Sect fortress. "They are having a hard time, I can hear them breathing heavily." Ling Ai was watching them from a tall tree near the walls of the Luban Sect fortress like she was on the grand dojo bleachers.
"Only fifty of them are left... Hmm, so the first round was releasing their max cultivation to show their potential. And the second round... Damaging a boulder?! That seemed familiar. This will gonna be fun." Ling Ai was like listening closely and clearly because of her eyes of divinity even though she was approximately 30 meters away from the Luban Sect"s grand dojo.
Evening came and the giant boulder had cracks and some parts were marked by fists as they punched it with heavy blows using their chi. But it still didn"t destroy the boulder. The partic.i.p.ants are scored by how much damage they dealt to the giant boulder. And out of Ling Ai"s friends, only Liu Qiang pa.s.sed... barely pa.s.sed. Out of concern, Ling Ai went down to meet her friends.
"Wong Yong, Wong Wei, Li Bei, and Liu Qiang. Brothers, how are you?" Ling Ai called them from the shadow between the stores.
"Woaaah! Sister Ling Ai! How are you doing? We"re... okay now, but earlier it was a mess and really challenging exams drained us out. We"re happy to see you. Although only Brother Liu Qiang was the only one who made it." Li Bei welcomed Ling Ai excitedly even though they felt defeated.
"Yes, sad to say that we didn"t even make it on the real showdown which is tomorrow, the 20 partic.i.p.ants who pa.s.sed out of 100 will be competing in a duel tomorrow at the grand dojo." Wong Yong said cheerfully but the disappointment was in his face.

"Now that you"ve mentioned it. Sister Ling Ai, why haven"t you showed up in the exams? You were registered, right?" Wong Wei wondered.
"Yes, I agreed with my brothers, Sister Ling Ai, we are happy to see you now but we are concerned as well. What happened to you? You suddenly disappeared, as far as I can remember it was after the... incident at the dojo? Did something happened or is there a problem?" Liu Qiang expressed what they truly felt after not knowing where their Sister Ling Ai had been.
"Thank you guys for your concern. As much as you"ve been worried, I"m here right now showing up because I want to know if you guys were doing well also. And it seems like you were having a hard time on the exams, like... look at your fists guys, it"s all torn and broken. It"s not like I"m not acknowledging your effort guys, because if that"s the case then you did a good job. I"m just concerned about the potential of your future brothers, it might be hindered if you can"t use your hands anymore. So take care a little bit more and train harder, okay?"
Ling Ai had subconsciously shown her leadership side as it naturally came out from her to scold and teach apprentices at Martial arts because she is already a Grandmaster, although currently, she is concealing her true cultivation that diminished her rank to an elite apprentice cultivation rank.
"There is a little problem actually that"s why I didn"t show up to the exams. I don"t mind telling you guys as I see you guys as my brothers because all of you were also my first friends at the Luban Sect fortress."
Ling Ai smiled at them. Her friends blushed and were joyed feeling proud that they have such a strong and beautiful sister. Seeing their Sister Ling Ai"s angelic smile relieved them and it almost made their injuries healed instantly and their energies replenished.
"Is that the woman?" A deep voice was heard not so far from them.
"Yes, I"m sure it"s her.. She wears a yellow kimono."
"Young lady, you need to come with us. We have something to ask and discuss with you." A Luban Sect martial artist with official guard tunic approached Ling Ai.
"What"s the meaning of this?!" Li Bei confronted the Luban Sect guards spreading his arm at the front of Ling Ai protecting her.
