Cold Clouds

Lin Xiaoxiao's educational career progressed smoothly. Although no one learned as fast as Shen Yu, many people learned well.

A week has passed since Lin Xiaoxiao started teaching, and many people in the inner sect can already use it roughly, although Shen Yu has already learned two moves and they were very smooth.

But it's also worthy of praise. Lin Xiaoxiao asked around in the inner gate, but no one was willing to compete with her, even though she said she would only use swordsmanship.

Sigh... let's go to the outer gate and take a look. They should be quite stubborn.

As soon as we reached the outer door, someone raised his hand.

Lin Xiaoxiao glanced at Shen Yu and found that her expression was not right.

"Do you know her?" Lin Xiaoxiao sent a voice message to Shen Yu, "Did she bully you?"

"Hmm..." Shen Yu swallowed and nodded.

I see... Lin Xiaoxiao narrowed her eyes and pointed at the man: "Name."

"Jin Xiaomeng." The female disciple replied.

"Is that so... Are you sure you can do it?" Lin Xiaoxiao asked with her arms folded across her chest.

"I'm sure." The female disciple spoke again.

"I don't believe it," Lin Xiaoxiao said with a smile, "Why don't you go up to the ring and..."

Lin Xiaoxiao originally wanted to ask her to compete with herself, and then she glanced at Shen Yu.

"Just come up and fight her. Only swordsmanship is allowed." Lin Xiaoxiao pointed at Shen Yu and said.

Jin Xiaomeng's expression changed for a while, and she said, "Of course you can."

"Eh!? Master...Master, I...I!" Shen Yu looked at Lin Xiaoxiao in panic, his voice breaking.

"What do you mean, come on," Lin Xiaoxiao gave Shen Yu a thumbs up, then turned to look at Jin Xiaomeng, "Come on up."

Shen Yu failed to shirk responsibility, and stood opposite Jin Xiaomeng, and drew out the spirit sword timidly: "I am... Shen Yu, please give me some advice, fellow Taoist."

Although both parties know who the other party is, the process still has to be followed.

"Jin Xiaomeng," Jin Xiaomeng drew out his sword and pointed it at Shen Yu, "Please give me some advice."

As Lin Xiaoxiao shouted "start", both sides took action.

Jin Xiaomeng raised the sword and rushed forward, originally aiming at Shen Yu's throat, but ended up aiming at the joints.

But Shen Yu dodged it easily.

It’s not that Jin Xiaomeng is slow, it’s just that Shen Yu can see what moves Jin Xiaomeng is going to use when she makes a move, so it’s easier for him to deal with it.

Shen Yu deflected Jin Xiaomeng's sword with his backhand and leaped back to create some distance. Jin Xiaomeng chased after him, stepped on the ground with his left foot and rushed forward, holding the magic sword tightly in both hands and slashing at Shen Yu's waist.

Shen Yu dodged sideways and still did not fight back. He just deflected Jin Xiaomeng's sword again and kept some distance.

"Don't hide!" Jin Xiaomeng was a little angry, and chopped down with the sword in both hands, but Shen Yu still just dodged and did not fight back.

Jin Xiaomeng gritted her teeth and looked at Shen Yu.

She didn't understand. She was born into a noble family, and her pride since childhood made her unwilling to bow her head. When she knew that Shen Yu learned so quickly, she was happy for him, but...

Why? She worked so hard, but she was still in the outer sect? And she, Shen Yu, only needed to show her talent to be appreciated!? Just because of her talent? Just because of her talent...

"Don't run away!" Jin Xiaomeng swung her sword with all her strength and chopped it down into the air. When she looked at Shen Yu again, he was already several meters away.

She was unwilling to accept it, she was unconvinced! Was her hard work so cheap! ?

There. When he drew his sword again, Jin Xiaomeng's eyes slightly turned red, and the sword tip touched Shen Yu's body for the first time.

Shen Yu seemed a little surprised when his cheek was scratched, but he did not stop and moved away from Jin Xiaomeng again.

What happened just now was... Lin Xiaoxiao narrowed her eyes and looked at Jin Xiaomeng carefully.

Magic? No... is it purely developed through training of visual strength?

Jin Xiaomeng certainly knew that Shen Yu understood all the techniques she had learned, and she also knew that she could see through her actions.

Then wouldn't it be fine if I could just look back and see where she's avoiding?

During the day he dodged and caught hidden weapons and flying knives in the training room, and at night he captured bat monsters in deep mountain caves.

This constant training day and night made it possible for her to see through Shen Yu's actions.

Can't blink. Jin Xiaomeng bit the tip of her tongue, forced herself to stay alert, opened her bloodshot eyes, and approached Shen Yu again: "You can't escape!"

Shen Yu looked conflicted. She didn't know why Jin Xiaomeng was so happy when her spiritual roots were tested to be the same three spiritual roots of gold, water and wood as Jin Xiaomeng.

Why is this happening? Looking at Jin Xiaomeng in front of him, Shen Yu's sword is not quite steady, but...

She would not admit defeat. Lin Xiaoxiao treated her well and she could not embarrass Lin Xiaoxiao.

"I saw it!" A strand of hair was cut off by Jin Xiaomeng, and Shen Yu gradually tightened the magic sword in his hand.

She's going to fight back.

Just one blow.

Jin Xiaomeng's strongest move is the one taught by Lin Xiaoxiao, and Lin Xiaoxiao was also watching the competition, so she chose to use this move last.

"The sword travels through the sky!" Jin Xiaomeng took a step forward, holding the sword in his right hand and was about to stab out, but he couldn't.

Shen Yu's sword stuck her sword-holding hand. This was easy for her because she knew how to make a move with the sword, so she could stop it before it was made.

"Why..." Jin Xiaomeng gritted her teeth, "Are you kidding me!?"

No...Shen Yu lowered his head.

"She just doesn't want to hurt you." Lin Xiaoxiao spoke at this time and walked to Jin Xiaomeng.

Don't want to hurt me? Jin Xiaomeng seemed a little confused. She was so aggressive, but Shen Yu didn't want to hurt her? Is this possible?

"Okay, I see. Although you are not very skilled, you do know how to do it." Lin Xiaoxiao saw the flow of spiritual power in Jin Xiaomeng's body clearly. The starting posture was correct. Jin Xiaomeng did know how to do it.

"But you are still not proficient enough. You need to go to a place that is more suitable for you to practice." Looking at the bewildered Jin Xiaomeng, Lin Xiaoxiao smiled and said, "Why don't you come to practice with me? How about it?"

Jin Xiaomeng was stunned again.

What does Uncle Lin mean by this? Could it be that...

"Why do you have that expression? What? Don't you want to be my disciple?" Lin Xiaoxiao tilted her head and looked at Jin Xiaomeng and asked.

"This..." Jin Xiaomeng's eyes flashed with a gleam of light, "Yes, of course I am willing."

There was some commotion below, and Lin Xiaoxiao saw familiar expressions on some people's faces.

"Not convinced? Dissatisfied?" Lin Xiaoxiao looked at the audience below the stage and said loudly, "You don't even dare to say that you have learned it, and you still want to be my disciple?"

The commotion below calmed down, and some people's expressions looked a little ugly.

“Don’t think that this is someone’s talent. Some of you are much more talented than Jin Xiaomeng. Isn’t it because you haven’t worked hard enough?” Lin Xiaoxiao laughed, “But after a competition, some people will show their true colors.”

Lin Xiaoxiao turned around and called Jin Xiaomeng and Shen Yu over: "Let's go!"
