Her attacks get faster and faster by the second, making use my Ti Stretch Skill more frequently, and in turn, depleting my Qi Energy imnsely. For soone uptight like her, she's playing this rather smartly. Instead of attacking head-on, she resorted to hit-and-run tactics, leaving no choice but to be on the defensive while I slowly burn out. I could feel the exhaustion creeping up on but as for her, she was as energetic as ever. This was probably because she has a higher reserve of Qi Energy due to her being of higher cultivation than . She realized she can't fight head to head with straightforwardly, and so she changed her fighting style.
In other words, she's adapting based on her instincts. All I could say is that she's a strange fighter. Her passionate manner of approaching this fight makes not want to do my best for her. I want to cheer her on and win but sadly I can't do that. As a Sect Master, I should guide her and make her attain her maximum potential. And if I were to lose, I would lose face as a Sect Master. There's no way she would accept my teachings if that were to happen!
Am I going to make her my disciple? Of course, I've seen her fight, she's a good addition to my Sect if she were to agree.
"Why aren't you attacking?" Zenith swung her blades at , faster and faster, sharper and sharper. Quite honestly, I was being held back, but I didn't want to show the expression that I was having a hard ti. In terms of raw speed and power, she's realms ahead of . She might not have the technique, but she compensates with her strength. But as for , I had to rely on the Skills given to by the System, stretching and stretching ti with my Ti Stretch Skill.
A few more seconds later, Zenith was whirling around, hitting with her legs and arms with sharp blades/ daggers sticking out of them. How could she get faster when she was already reaching her top speed a mont ago? Was it because she was using her lightning elent with her ti elent? If that were the case, then she shouldn't have gotten thrice as fast as before.
Oh, wait. Now I see it. So she's got another skill. Now we're talking.
With on the verge of depleting all of my Qi Energy, I decided to end the fight once and for all. And I know that it won't be fair if I won using another Elent. She'll probably see it as having an advantage in the fight and if that were to happen, she might not accept my offer of her being my disciple. I already made up my mind to make her my first disciple in the Middle Plane, there's no way I'm going to ss up that chance.
Even though I almost ran out of my Qi Energy, I could tell that Zenith was in a bad position as well. She's also feeling the initial impulses of exhaustion. Her beads of sweat danced around the ai as she continued her onslaught, bearing down on with more strength and more power than before. She was using her montum to increase her power, forcing to go on in the defensive and making it harder for to attack.
Wait... we're just on an endless loop, right? She just gets faster and faster while I try to match up to her speed. We're not getting anywhere!
"Hui-ying, I want to use my Purple Lightning and my Ti Elent, I have enough Qi Energy to expend, right? It won't damage my Qi Energy reserves, right?" I asked in my head.
"Yes, Yongrui. As long as you use it for a split second, you won't get to deplete your Qi Energy. You can still take on all of these guys." Hui-ying responded coolly. She wasn't fazed at all even though I was on the verge of losing.
"No, what I an is... can I still take on Luxor after using my Purple Lightning and Ti Elent?"
Pause. I could tell that Hui-ying was doing so complicated computations on whether I could take on Luxor or not. Of course, if I go the roundabout way, I could take on Luxor but there's no way I'd co out unscathed. That's probably why Hui-ying was having a hard ti calculating the probabilities.
"I'm not sure if you can fight against Luxor but when it cos to your Qi Energy, i won't really go down to dangerous levels. Even if you activate your Berserk Skill, you still have a high chance of controlling it even after using your Purple Lightning and Ti Elent."
"I see, thanks for that, Hui-ying. I owe you one."
"It's no big deal, I'm in your head anyways." Hui-ying warmly responded.
With that out of the way, I decided to use my ultimate move, sothing that I learned after being inspired by Zenith's movents. Mixing in the Lightning Elent and the Ti Elent makes soone twice or thrice faster than normal. Even I had to stretch a minute to ten minutes just so I could match Zenith's movents. I had no idea how her eyesight could keep up with that. The only explanation I could co up with was that she really is a natural-born genius. There's no way soone could train their reflexes at such speeds.
I'm getting sidetracked here, so I'll just go through with this. In a split second, I accessed three of my Elents, making them swim through my Qi Energy Flow and feeding them into my System. I could've sworn that I saw my body glow light orange but then again, it might've been my eyes playing tricks on . The heat of the Fire Elent and the burst power of the Lightning Elent all combined with my Ti Elent. At first, I thought that it would be easy but there's a certain quality of control needed over these three Elents so they would synergize together. To think that this girl could use it as if it were normal, she really is superbly talented.
Once I managed to barely do it, I gave my full strength to attack, pinning her on the ground in a flash as purple lightning coursed through my body. She let out a shriek of agony as her body twitched, marking her defeat. I made sure that the electrocution didn't last long since all that I needed is to defeat her. I don't have to torture her.
"It's my loss, Tang Yongrui, Sect Master of the Tang Sect. I'm on the Transcendence Realm." She tried to get up but her legs collapsed on her own weight. There was a bit of moisture running through her legs and I wasn't sure if she peed herself or if she was just sweating a lot. I did not bring it up though, that would just cause countless misunderstandings and I'm a bit drained to go through all that.
"Please, you can just call Yongrui." I simply told her, extending my hand. "You're plenty strong. Who's your master?"
"My mother. She passed away when I was a teenager but her guidance has helped throughout life. Although I may be lacking in so ways, I still beca who I presently am because of her." Zenith cupped his hands. "Thank you for taking this fight seriously, Yongrui. Despite having a lower level of cultivation, you still managed to bring down. You really are soone worthy of being called a Sect Master. I hope you will fight with so ti again."
"Um, Zenith," I said as she turned around. I didn't want to miss my chance so I just went for it. It would've been nice if she would say yes though... she'll be my first disciple in the Middle Plane. "I would like to formally invite you as my disciple, that is, if you're fine with it. With your mother's guidance and mine, I know that you can grow by leaps and bounds."
"I don't know... I haven't known you for long yet, are you sure you're fine with soone like ? I'm uh... I'm not really the maiden type and I'm stronger than anyone else here. In fact, ever since I've joined this settlent, no one has defeated in a match before. You're my first, Yongrui."
The implications of that last sentence could cause a misunderstanding but I will overlook it. What's wrong if she's a bit quirky? It just adds to her charm, more or less. "Yes, I'm fine with it. I've been looking for soone like you, Zenith."
"I-if that's the case... then yes, gladly!" She cupped her hands. "I swear to protect you all of my life and bear as many kids as you want. We can start at it tonight, Yongrui, please take care of ."
"Wait, what?!" Natalia exclaid before I did. If I were a little faster, I would've reacted the sa way.
"Aren't you taking in as your woman?" Zenith asked with an innocent expression on her face
