Chapter 152: Exceptional Saber Technique (2/2)

The saber lit up again and Xiao Chen executed Drawing the Saber again. However, there was no change in the result. Liu Ruyue did not move from her original spot. Despite moving later on, the small saber in her hand broke the saber technique immediately.

Seeing Xiao Chen staggering backward, Liu Ruyue’s curled her lips and smiled, “This is the world’s fastest Saber Technique? It is merely so-so.”

After being mocked by a woman who was only slightly older than him, Xiao Chen became anxious. He continuously used Drawing the Saber but the result stayed the same.

Xiao Chen staggered backward again. He waved his hands and said, “We can’t do it this way, you can’t block this move of mine. Otherwise, I will not be able to execute the more powerful moves that come after this.”

Liu Ruyue burst out in laughter, a rare charming expression appeared on her face. She said, “As you wish. Let me take a look at the world’s fastest Saber Technique!”

Xiao Chen’s eyes lit up. Right after Liu Ruyue spoke, he immediately executed Drawing the Saber. Liu Ruyue retreated backward and Xiao Chen immediately executed the Arclight Chop.

“Dang!”

Xiao Chen maintained the posture for the Arclight Chop but there was a flash of cold light that struck the handle of the Lunar Shadow Saber. This saber strike was fast and precise; it struck precisely at the s.p.a.ce between the saber handle and Xiao Chen’s fingers without hurting his fingers at all.

Liu Ruyue sheathed her saber back in the scabbard. There was a stern look on her face as she gave off a murderous intent, “I shall also release the world’s fastest Saber Technique. I shall show you the true Drawing the Saber.”

Right after Liu Ruyue spoke, she immediately drew her saber. The instant the saber left the scabbard, a rush of wind appeared out of nowhere. The saber glowed with a piercing light which caused Xiao Chen’s eyes to hurt. As a natural reflex, Xiao Chen closed his eyes.

When he reopened his eyes, the howling wind had already stopped. Liu Ruyue withdrew her saber and stood upright, as though she had not done anything; as though everything that happened earlier was an illusion.

However, Xiao Chen felt a slight chill on his neck. He stretched out his hand to touch it and he felt a mild pain. It was unknown when, but a small wound had appeared on his neck.

He could not help but feel fear. If this wound had been slightly deeper, he would have lost his life.

However, he had been unable to react at all. When the resplendent light lit up, in the instant he blinked, he had already been struck. Furthermore, in the instant she had made her move, Liu Ruyue had absolute control over her strength.

Moving around freely, killing without batting an eyelid; this was the realm Liu Ruyue was in. Xiao Chen could not help but feel that it was funny. In the past, he thought he was already very fast. Now, he was thoroughly convinced.

Liu Ruyue smiled faintly, “Little Ye Chen, do you still have doubts about master’s strength?”

Xiao Chen smiled embarra.s.sedly, “I don’t dare to anymore. I will always heed Elder Sister Ruyue’s words in the future. Can you start teaching me now?”

A pretty smile appeared on Liu Ruyue’s face. However, when Xiao Chen saw it, he could not help but shudder. “There are some weights over there for training the body. Put on a hundred kilograms of them then run twenty laps around the dueling grounds.”

“You are not allowed to use Essence. If I discover any usage of Essence, I will seal your acupoints and double your punishment.”

Xiao Chen looked at the huge dueling ground, one round would be at least one kilometer. He felt a headache coming on, “Elder Sister Ruyue, isn’t this a little exaggerated.”

Liu Ruyue smiled faintly and said, “First you mock your master, then you speak back. Run another ten more laps!”

d.a.m.n! Xiao Chen cursed in his heart. This Liu Ruyue looked like a gentle elder sister. Who knew that she would be so merciless when she became fierce.

When under someone else’s roof, one has no choice but to lower their head. Xiao Chen walked over helplessly and slowly tied the weights to himself before starting to run. It was a good thing that his body was strong; he did not feel that it was too difficult.

Liu Suifeng had a big smile on his face as he watched Xiao Chen running slowly. He walked over to Liu Ruyue and said, “Sis, Xiao Chen was able to execute the Rus.h.i.+ng Thunder Saber Technique with a crackle of thunder in every move; it was full of vigor. It could be said to be pretty good already. Why are you still giving him such a hard time?”

Liu Ruyue’s pretty face revealed a faint smile, “This fellow is too proud, he is likely to already have significant fighting experience. If I don’t do this, he will not listen. Furthermore, his foundations are indeed too weak and he should improve them further. There is still more to the potential of the Rus.h.i.+ng Thunder Saber Technique.”

Liu Suifeng thought of something and he said, “That’s right, sis, what do you think of the matter I mentioned yesterday?”

“Listening To the Sword and Communicating With It?” Liu Ruyue appeared to be deep in thought. “Since Ye Chen was recommended by Feng Feixue and he previously saved Shao Yang and Xiao Meng, there should be no problem with his character.

“If he wishes to learn, there is no problem in teaching him. However, this Listening To the Sword and Communicating With It is too ethereal. Let’s not deal with this for now.”

Liu Suifeng looked at Xiao Chen’s figure and said, “I feel that Qingyun Peak has a decent chance in the end of year compet.i.tion.”

When Liu Ruyue heard this, there was a look of melancholy in her eyes. She said indifferently, “All these years, I have been trying to prove myself. However, there has never been any suitable successor in Qingyun Peak. I hope I won’t be disappointed this time.”

Xiao Chen spent a total of four hours running thirty laps. Initially, he felt as if it was nothing. After all, with the strength of his physical body, there was not much fatigue even if he did not use Essence.

However, toward the end, Xiao Chen felt that something was wrong. There was definitely some special material under the surface of the dueling ground. He felt his strength being exhausted very fast.
