The whole family went mad, but the junior sister turned the tables and her luck soared.

This was the first time Yun Yici had ever seriously used the Wind Sword in combat, let alone against a top-tier swordsman like Shen Huaichuan.

Even if neither of them uses spiritual power, the gap between her and Shen Huaichuan is still very large.

Shen Huaichuan was one with his sword, his movements fluid and graceful; she was a swordswoman... ptooey, ptooey, ptooey.

In short, you'll know where the problem lies once you actually try it out.

The wind sword she conjured had the appearance of a sword, and its sharpness, enhanced by the wind blades, was comparable to that of a true spirit sword.

The problem is that Shen Huaichuan won't allow her to use her spiritual power.

The wind sword, briefly condensed from spiritual energy, gradually transformed into her, this audacious madwoman, fighting Shen Huaichuan, who wielded a sword, bare-handed.

Yun Yici: Stimulate.

Realizing the problem, Yun Yici tried to extend the lifespan of the wind sword when he condensed it again.

Over time, her understanding of using wind elemental power reached a new level.

The wind sword she conjured with her spiritual power became more refined and longer-lasting.

She even began to vaguely realize that, in addition to the wind sword, she could condense wind beasts that would fight under her command.

Of course, it's not the kind of wind beast found in the secret realm, but rather a monster's body condensed using wind spiritual power.

Yun Yici's thinking gradually broadened during the battle.

Although... she still couldn't touch the hem of Shen Huaichuan's clothes.

She thought she had become very strong, but in front of Shen Huaichuan, she was still like a frog in a well.

Yun Yici did not give up and tried to find Shen Huaichuan's weakness.

She fought steadily and methodically, and in the blink of an eye, a hundred moves had passed between her and Shen Huaichuan.

Their robes fluttered, and their shadows met and separated. Wan Nian, watching from the side, dared not blink, yet he still couldn't make out their movements.

He hoped Yun Yici would win, but he was also afraid that Shen Huaichuan would be unhappy if he lost.

Vital points of the human body: head, throat, heart, lower abdomen, and also coughing, groin...

Yun Yici lowered her gaze, trying her best not to think the wrong thing.

If the opponent were a mortal enemy, she would use any trick in the book, but since the opponent was Shen Huaichuan, she had to be mindful of her image.

The two sparred until night fell, but Yun Yici still couldn't manage to strike Shen Huaichuan's vital points.

Shen Huaichuan sheathed his sword: "You should reflect on this for a while and come back to me when you're ready."

With the demons' attack imminent, Shen Huaichuan did not lower his demands on Yun Yici, as he had promised that every word would be worth its weight in gold.

Yun Yici would not disobey Shen Huaichuan's words, and the wind sword in her hand immediately turned into a gentle breeze.

She watched Shen Huaichuan enter the room before she felt relieved. She sat cross-legged on the spot and began to review the process of her competition with Shen Huaichuan, looking for the attack points she had overlooked.

Wan Nian didn't follow Shen Huaichuan into the room. He dawdled over to Yun Yici's side, squatted down, and whispered to comfort her, "Xiaoci, you can definitely do it tomorrow."

Yun Yici opened his eyes and saw Wan Nian, gave a bitter smile but remained silent.

In the past, Shen Huaichuan always helped her deal with others, but this time, Shen Huaichuan wants her to treat him as an opponent.

The Huai Chuan Sword was returned to Yun Yici by Shen Huai Chuan when he passed by her.

Suddenly, the spirit of Huai Chuan appeared, bearing the same face as Shen Huai Chuan, and said to Yun Yi Ci, "Come on, let me help you review the game."

Unable to obtain what he desired, Yun Yici hurriedly condensed a wind sword and the spirit of Huaichuan sword to begin reviewing Shen Huaichuan's sword path.

Huai Chuan has a spirit, and can easily grasp Shen Huai Chuan's methods.

That night, a solitary lamp burned in the courtyard, and a lone sword served as his companion.

Wan Nianjianyun, full of energy, got up and quietly stood guard under the pavilion.

The lights in the room in the distance were still on, and a figure was leaning against the window paper, as upright as bamboo.

Yun Yici practiced with Huaichuan Sword Spirit all night and finally understood.

What she really wanted wasn't to defeat Shen Huaichuan. To defeat Shen Huaichuan, she might have to start training from two thousand years ago.

All she needed to do was think of a move that could strike Shen Huaichuan's vitals.

This kind of move is usually called a finishing move.

Yun Yici rubbed his hands together, and then, in a rather lewd manner, he spent the whole night trying it out with Huaichuan before finally calling Shen Huaichuan in the morning.

Shen Huaichuan, as always, was dressed in blue, holding a sword and standing tall and elegant, like a pine or bamboo.

But the next second, the wind sword that Yun Yici had conjured began to attack his lower body directly!

Shen Huaichuan, who was usually inscrutable, widened his eyes, his lips twitched slightly, and he quickly used his sword to block Yun Yici's attack.

However, Shen Huaichuan was a gentleman. Even if he disagreed, he respected and understood, and would not scold Yun Yici for this, nor would he retaliate by attacking Yun Yici's lower body.

Wan Nian watched from the sidelines, sweating bullets. Yesterday, Yun Yici only attacked the dantian, but today she was determined to die and was going to explode Shen Huaichuan's flower.

Although Shen Huaichuan was not angry, Yun Yici's pressure made him switch from defense to offense.

He wanted to use concrete results to show Yun Yici that this approach was not feasible.

Yun Yici was waiting for his change of tactics.

When Shen Huaichuan abandoned his defense and thrust his sword straight at Yun Yici's heart, as he had expected, Yun Yici would dodge it.

However, Yun Yici abandoned her defense for this only opening and directly charged forward with her Wind Sword in hand.

Seeing that she was about to crash into the sword, Shen Huaichuan panicked and quickly stopped.

After this, even he, with his reputation as a sword immortal, lost his composure. Yun Yici remained unharmed and instead pointed his sword at Shen Huaichuan's throat.

Shen Huaichuan remained silent. Yun Yici first focused on attacking his lower body, forcing him to retaliate. Then, she deliberately used herself as bait, gambling on who was more ruthless.

Yun Yici won the bet.

After a long while, Shen Huaichuan sighed, "You must not use this move against the enemy."

This is practically a suicidal fighting style.

The wind sword in Yun Yici's hand dissipated, and she nodded like a chick pecking at rice: "Of course, I'm not stupid."

"I'm sorry, Senior Shen."

She can only defeat Shen Huaichuan in her next life if she fights fair and square.

Shen Huaichuan kept his promise, and Yun Yici fulfilled the conditions he set, so he immediately taught her the methods to comprehend the domain.

"Close your eyes, what do you feel?"

Yun Yici sat down in meditation, closed his eyes and heard the wind rustling through the grass in the courtyard, as well as the light breathing of Shen Huaichuan and Wan Nian.

Listen more closely, and you can hear the distant sound carried on the wind.

If she could project her spiritual senses outward, she should be able to sense what was happening throughout the city lord's mansion.

Yun Yici truthfully told Shen Huaichuan how she felt.

Shen Huaichuan reached out and placed Huaichuan into her arms: "What you are feeling is the imagery of this space."

"A domain is a space you create. What kind of imagery do you hope that space you create will have?"

Yun Yici recalled that she had once visited Shen Huaichuan's domain, which was calm and inclusive, with a heart that embraced all things.

What does she want?

Yun Yici fell into deep thought and began to try to build her own domain.

Seeing that she had entered a meditative state, Shen Huaichuan summoned Wan Nian, who had been watching from the side for a long time.

Wan Nian felt a tightness in his chest, knowing it was his turn.

Clutching the staff Yun Yici had given him, he stammered, "Senior Shen..."

Shen Huaichuan shook his head and said, "Even the most exquisite techniques are useless to you after ten thousand years. You need to train your courage first."
