Chapter 201 – Intense Fighting
“Bang Bang ……”
“Boom…..”
Although only their spirit weapons were clashing against each other’s, the spectators were still thoroughly enjoying the show.
This sort of a spectacular battle was very rare. Not to mention the normal people, even the people from the top five sects rarely ever got to witness such an exquisite battle between two spirit weapons.
Bedazzled, Bi Fan was praying to get his hands on a spirit weapon for himself.
He was unaware of Bloodshed’s (Xue Ren) grade for now, but he clearly knew that the sword was definitely not ordinary, and was well aware that he wouldn’t be able to use it for some time.
“Bloodshed Bloodshed! Just wait till I reach the ‘emerging from the womb’ layer.” Bi Fan’s heart was full of expectations.
A spirit weapon was completely useless without the ability to control its spirts.
The two spirit weapons had exchanged hundreds of strokes already, and still no one could predict a winner.
Yan Yu Si raised her lily-white hands, and she grabbed her sword as it flew back to her.
Xuan Yuan Po Jun also grabbed his weapon in a similar fashion, and then the two of them started staring at each other once again with a solemn look on their faces.
The meter-long sword in Yan Yu Si’s hands was called Xuannv Quinyang Sword; she had given the sword’s name herself after taking over its ownership.
Xuan Yuan Po Jun’s sword was an epee, and looked very ordinary in its make, as opposed to Yan Yu Si’s. In fact, no one could ever tell that the sword was a spirit grade weapon. Xuan Yuan Po Jun had also given his sword a name, Boundless Po Jun.
Boundless Po Jun and Xuannv Quinyang Sword were weapons of equal influence, and it was hard to pick a favorite between these two swords.
However, the fighters needed to bring this match to a conclusion, and hence they started fighting again.
This time, Yan Yu Si casted out the ‘Xuannv Flying Rainbow’, and her dazzling sword started fleeting through the air once again.
Xuan Yuan Po Jun started displaying Yuan Shi Sect’s ‘Shaking Heavens Sword’, and it seemed that he had made some alterations of his own to the skill.
The sounds of their intense fighting filled the atmosphere as the two of them started casting out some exquisite skills.
Bi Fan had never seen such amazing martial skills before, and it took him a while to calm his mind down.
Bi Fan’s memory and understanding had become a lot better after all the training. Nowadays, he was able to learn and adapt a skill much faster than he could in the past.
“Miss Yan Yu Si is really very powerful! Her practice speed is insanely fast…. I never thought that the gap between us would be so big!” Jing Feng praised.
Ling Xin Ya said: “Miss Yan Yu Si is a peerless genius. Xuan Yuan Po Jun would never have been able to match up to her if he hadn’t received first-cla.s.s training from the Yuan Shi Sect.”
He paused and then continued: “As of now, it is hard to tell who’ll win this match…..”
w.a.n.g Zhong was completely hooked: “I’ve seen so many new things today…. This insight into the strength of such powerful martial artists has been a real eye-opener for me.”
“Yes ah, Miss Yan Yu Si and Xuan Yuan Po Jun are too strong…. When will we be able to match them?” Jing Feng shook his head.
“Ha Ha! Miss Yan Yu Si and Xuan Yuan Po Jun are considered the best talents of the world… and for a good reason! We’ll never be able to match up to them!” Mo Nan stated in admiration.
Jing Feng knew that he would be laughed upon if he claimed to set his goals on matching such talents at this stage in his life.
Xuan Yuan Po Jun and Yan Yu Si’s fighting continued to become more and more intense, and they continued to display a variety of the moves which Bi Fan had never seen before.
Bi Fan could see that the heterogeneous mix of their martial skills was far beyond anything he had ever attempted.
Bi Fan had started getting a bit complacent about his vast knowledge of martial skills.
But now, he was beginning to realize that there were several others who transcended his very imagination.
An hour had pa.s.sed soon enough, and even though the two fighters had exchanged innumerable strokes, neither had been able to lay a scratch on the other.
Yan Yu Si and Xuan Yuan Po Jun had already broken into the ‘Primordial Spirit’ realm, because of which their energy recovery rates were very fast, which is why they were able to recover their energy rates at a very quick pace during the course of a fight.
Their constant fighting had kept the spectators hooked throughout the fight, which was evident from all the cheering and shouting around the stands of the arena.
Bi Fan was anxiously hoping for the contest to continue forever since he was learning a lot of new things from it.
It was a pity that Bi Fan had never gotten a chance to join a Jiu Yu Da sect, and was forced to rely on his memorizing ability to learn a myriad of skills the hard way. His only option was to integrate these skills into ‘The Immortal Finger’ since he was unable to decipher every bit of these skills as of now.
However, he was unaware that it would take him a long time to integrate these skills completely into ‘The Immortal Finger’ and increase its power as he had imagined.
In fact, Bi Fan was unaware that he wouldn’t be able to research these skills properly until a much later time in his life, and it would be a long while before he would be capable of using them in battle.
“Xuannv Quinyang Sword – Kill and behead!”
“Boundless Po Jun – Po Jun Dominance!”
Yan Yu Si and Xuan Yuan Po Jun clashed against each other, and were both forced to retreat a few steps.
After a moment’s delay, both fighters charged right back at each other.
“It’s weird that martial artists of their caliber don’t have beast pets… and if they do, then why haven’t they brought them out yet?” Jing Feng seemed very puzzled.
Mo Nan said: “Who knows, maybe they don’t have beast pets…..”
“Beasts advance as quickly as humans, but beast pets are often unable to keep up with the strength of their owners over the long run. Therefore summoning their beast pets would be quite useless at this stage since they would be able to behead each other’s pets with ease, and would obviously end up losing their own as well.” Ling Xin Ya explained.
“Ah, so basically…. Beast pets become useless after some time.” Jing Feng observed.
“That’s not what I meant. If you train your pet well, then your pet will become a very good a.s.sistant.” Ling Xin Ya shook his head.
Jing Feng nodded in understanding.
It was hard to tell how long it took, but the two fighters finally started getting tired, and everyone could sense that they were beginning to slow down now.
It appeared that their fight was finally reaching its climax.
“Yes, the battle is about to end!”
“Ah, I hope they can decide a winner soon now!”
“Yan Yu Si! Yan Yu Si! You’re the champion!…..”
“Po Jun! Po Jun!…….”
As the contest seemingly started to reach its climax, the spectators started cheering even louder to add more oil to their fiery favorites.
The Quinyang Sect and the Wu Ji Sect were nervously hoping for their respective sect to win.
“Oh G.o.d! I hope Miss Yan Yu Si wins this!” Jing Feng’s hands were folded in prayer.
Bi Fan wasn’t even memorizing the martial arts at the moment since he was too busy praying.
Bi Fan wasn’t bothered about the result of the match; he was only concerned with Yan Yu Si’s safety.
