Chapter 171 – No Fear of Defeat

After the third attack, Lu Mingshu didn't seem like she wanted to stop. The mystic light on the sword manifested into a dragon and dashed toward Wei Chunqiu quickly.

One, two, three.

"What is she trying to do!?" somebody exclaimed.

In the Seventh Truth Platform tent, Yu Kuang was muttering to himself, "She manifested so many...!"

The more sword-energy was unleashed, the more mystic force required. If one wanted to manifest a large amount of sword-energy, someone would generally have to be at the Spirit Realm.

This could only mean that Lu Mingshu had very good control over her mystic energy; it had to be absolutely meticulous. With good control, she was able to split the sword-energy into finer strings and control them exactly the way she wanted.

"Could I achieve that?" Yu Kuang asked himself.

He weighed it in his heart, and the answer he got was a "No."

He couldn't achieve it. He was able to split sword-energy into just as many strings, but he wouldn't be able to control each of them individually.

Now, Yu Kuang realized just how much he was lagging behind after a month. He finally understood why Wei Chunqiu said what he did.

Similar techniques and ability... Lu Mingshu and he were almost like mirror images. He could learn about his own weaknesses from watching her and how to brush up on them.

Unfortunately, he had missed the chance. If he had paid attention to each of Lu Mingshu's matches, he might have been able to find out what was holding him back from improving and go on to greater heights.

What a pity, but it wouldn't help even if he continued to dread over it. Lu Mingshu was now on stage fighting Wei Chunqiu and leaving Yu Kuang behind.

Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding!

The collision sound was getting more and more intense. However, Wei Chunqiu still wasn't using his weapon against her.

"What's happening?" A disciple who had bad eyesight was squinting while looking at the stage.

"It can't be...?" The one who could see it seemed shocked

"Huh? What?"

"Their sword-energy and mystic light have traces of solidifying...!" Mixed feelings swelled up in the disciple's heart. Wei Chunqiu had already infused his Physical Manifestation of Sword Intent into his mystic light. Lu Mingshu was behind him, but her sword-energy was starting to solidify too, as if this match between mystic light and sword-energy had been going on for more than ten hours.

It was believed that, because Kou Wei and Wei Chunqiu practiced in different ways, it was inevitable that there would be fierce fight in this Qilin Festival. However, they never would have thought that they would see a scene like this, and it was all thanks to Lu Mingshu.

Clink~~~~!

In the midst of the sword-shadows, a faint sword-light shot up into the sky and broke the string of sword-energy one by one, then fell back into Wei Chunqiu's palm.

Wei Chunqiu finally pulled out his sword.

"Hmm, Miss Lu, it's not pleasant to be so overbearing," Wei Chunqiu said as the match entered into a short break.

Lu Mingshu gave him a smile. "Three attacks are over. Or does Gentleman Wei think that he can defeat me without your sword?"

Wei Chunqiu sighed. "You want me to go all-out, right?"
