Chapter 167: Fast Improvent
The water dragon dashed up toward the sky.
The match soon entered into a weird situation of push and pull.
“How many attacks?” sobody mumbled in worry.
“Uh, ten?”
“Ten....” Lu Mingshu is not bad after all. She has broken the record of defending against Kou Wei.
What was weird though was that Kou Wei obviously had the upper hand and could easily take Lu Mingshu down, but for so reason, he hadn’t done so yet.
Yu Kuang raised his brows.
Wei Chunqiu took a glance at him. “Realized it?”
“Yeah. Since when was she suddenly so powerful?” He nodded.
Yu Kuang had fought her before, and he was a bit better than her back then. Her lack of basics was a killer disadvantage for her.
But now, the Lu Mingshu on stage made him feel like he was going to suffocate.
Yu Kuang tried to put himself in her position and Kou Wei’s position. It’s way too suffocating.
She attacked quickly, and her sword energy was light. The first ti he t her, she couldn’t even use her technique more than twice, but now, she suddenly had the stamina to sustain and use it continuously!
“Not suddenly,” Wei Chunqiu snapped. “How long have you not been watching her fight? She’s been improving constantly.”
Yu Kuang remained silent.
Wei Chunqiu stroked his sword and comnted slowly. “She’s surprising. A normal person would need months to examine themselves and what they’re lacking after a fight, but she can correct herself in a day.”
As a martial artist, fights were ant for them to improve, and growing with such ability, Wei Chunqiu was aware of how scary that could be. Shortening the ti of self-reflection was already winning.
“But her lack of basics can’t suddenly disappear just like that, right?”
The Lu Mingshu on stage now had an equal amount of mystic energy as Wei Chunqiu and Kou Wei. Even if he could accept everything else, she was weaker than Yu Chen just the other day, and mystic energy wasn’t sothing that could be gained in a day.
“That’s just her secret.” Wei Chunqiu shook his head. “Maybe she found so secret technique sowhere that we haven’t discovered.”
For example, Wei Chunqiu himself had a secret skill, which he would only use when challenging Kou Wei.
Yu Kuang bit his lips and voiced out his burning question, “Senior Brother Wei, do you think she has a chance of winning?”
Based on Lu Mingshu’s standard from before, the answer was obvious. However, seeing her today...
“Just watch.” Wei Chunqiu didn’t answer. Kou Wei would obviously win, but who knew how many secret techniques Lu Mingshu still had?
Kou Wei, who was currently fighting on stage, had the sa thinking as Wei Chunqiu.
Yes. He knew that Lu Mingshu was improving. However, he never expected her improvent to be this scary until now. Raw talent was just talent; without the correct training, it was still going to go down the drain.
But at this point, he couldn’t tell if Lu Mingshu or Yue Lingyin was better.
A few days really made a difference.
The water dragon dashed fiercely toward Lu Mingshu.
Lu Mingshu cald herself down and focused on her skills.
She was well prepared to lose this match, but she was well prepared to win as well. No matter what the result was, she would continue fighting with her blood, sweat, and tears.
Stop competing in order to remain in the top ten? Of course that was a good idea, but the New Generation Ranking wasn’t her main goal.
She did not need the recognition, she just wanted to be free.
The Physical Manifestation of Sword Intent moved freely to her heart’s content.
An obvious power was unleashed through rays of sword-light.
Before the match started, Lu Mingshu used all the strengthening seals she had.
She was lucky because she received a seal that temporarily improved her mystic force and fixed her problem of having weak basics. She also got a seal that could break the connection between the opponent and their mystic force. Plus, she had one that increased her speed and attack power, making it possible to fight Kou Wei.
Kou Wei was too strong; his ability was considered to be at the peak of the Harmonization Realm. This match would be a precious lesson for Lu Mingshu.
“Senior Brother Wei, Kou Wei doesn’t look well,” Yu Kuang pointed out.
Wei Chunqiu nodded. “He’s too shocked by the amount of mystic force she can use.” If it was him, he would be taken aback too. Spectators wouldn’t feel it as strongly as the competitor himself.
He knew that Kou Wei and Lu Mingshu were on good terms. He was older than her by ten years, and he was going to break through to the Spirit Realm soon, so he saw her as a junior more than an opponent.
However, halfway into the match, he discovered that Lu Mingshu’s weaknesses had suddenly disappeared and she was on the sa level. How could he not be shocked?
“This is not good.” Yu Kuang furrowed his eyebrows. “If he doesn’t get back on track, anything can happen....”
Soone defeating a stronger opponent than themselves wasn’t a miracle in martial arts. Anything could happen in a match.
“Yeah.” Wei Chunqiu nodded. “But it isn’t like Kou Wei to just go down like that.”
Kou Wei was the successor disciple of one of the top three sects, not so random cultivator. Kou Wei may have underestimated Lu Mingshu, but he wouldn’t give up that easily.
Kou Wei was getting annoyed as ti went on. He was on the verge of winning, but he didn’t know what was stopping him.
He hadn’t felt this way for a long ti. After getting into the top ten of Harmonization Realm cultivators, he had been busy leveling himself up. For about six years, he had the title of the best disciple of the Heavenly Sea Pavilion, and he had never t such an opponent.
Did he perhaps think too lightly of her and not take the proper precautions?
No, stop. As a martial artist, no matter what opponent he was going against, he should put forth his best, and that was all.
Kou Wei took a deep breath and looked at Lu Mingshu.
“Miss Lu. Be careful,” he said, then waved his fan.
Whoosh—-
Sounds of gushing water could be heard.
“What sound was that?”
The water dragon on stage had already been recalled, but the sound of water gushing had beco clearer. The spectators were whispering among themselves.
“Look, below!” A spectator realized an anomaly and shouted out loud
All the spectators were rooted to the ground as the scene unfolded in front of them.
Fountains shot up from the river beside the stage and burst.
