Li Qingyi appeared, instantly attracting the attention of many.
Li Qingyi’s appearance could be said to be the most beautiful in the entire venue, even when compared to the Tenth Princess and Tang Qingyu, she seed to stand out a bit more.
So the attention towards Li Qingyi in the venue was still very high.
"Such a beautiful woman, not only does she have peerless beauty, but also heaven-defying talent. Even if Li Qingyi doesn’t advance this battle, I’m afraid many forces will rush to invite her to join, right?"
"Indeed, if she weren’t already with Xu Ping’an, I’m sure countless prodigies would pursue her. With her talent and beauty, she is more than qualified to be a prince’s consort."
"Yeah, I still hope she can make it into the top five. After all, there have been too few won in the past who made it that far. But it’s a pity her opponent is Yu Chenglin."
"Her chances against Yu Chenglin are not great."
...
The surrounding crowd buzzed with endless discussions.
They all felt a sense of regret for Li Qingyi.
After all, in their view, Yu Chenglin’s strength was truly formidable.
Li Qingyi was good, but compared to him, she still fell short.
"What do you think, who will win between Li Qingyi and Yu Chenglin?" On the stands, so of the gifted youths were also speculating.
The one who opened the discussion was Qin Yue.
"Naturally, Yu Chenglin will win. Li Qingyi’s talent is strong, indeed, capable of defeating Li Daoming, but compared to Yu Chenglin she is still lacking sowhat," said Tang Qingyu.
Qin Yue nodded. After all, Li Qingyi ca from a small place and in terms of heritage, she was quite outmatched by Yu Chenglin from the State Guard General’s House.
"I’m not sure about that. Don’t underestimate this Li Qingyi. She must still have so unshown thods, and the feeling Li Qingyi gives is that her will to win is very strong. Such a will is sothing Yu Chenglin has never possessed," said Qin Mu, who had not spoken until then.
Tang Qingyu and Qin Yue, upon hearing this, were sowhat surprised.
They had not expected Qin Mu to bestow such a high evaluation upon Li Qingyi.
Could it be that in his opinion, Li Qingyi harbored the potential to defeat Yu Chenglin?
"Ninth Brother, aren’t your words a bit too mystical? What use is a strong will?" Tenth Princess Qin Hanshuang approached from the distance.
She had already recovered from her fainting spell by this ti.
However, her gaze towards Xu Ping’an was still filled with anger.
Xu Ping’an did not mind her, even if Qin Hanshuang had so complaints, there was nothing she could do about him now.
"Tenth Sister, you’re underestimating the role of soone’s will. What Xu Ping’an said wasn’t wrong. Even though you’re of royal status and have also been on the battlefield fighting enemies, have you ever thought that when you were killing enemies, there were always strong warriors protecting you? If you were ever in danger, these warriors would surely take action. Because of this, you lack the desperate ntality of being pushed to the brink," said Qin Yue.
"Hmph, I am a princess, that’s my advantage. If I have powerful warriors by my side, why would I need to be desperate?" said Qin Hanshuang with indignant disbelief.
Qin Yue, however, shook his head and said no more.
What Qin Hanshuang said was not wrong; her status as a princess was her advantage. Why would she need to be desperate indeed?
But could this royal status really protect her for a lifeti?
Seeing that Qin Yue didn’t respond, Qin Hanshuang did not rebut further, instead falling into thought.
She wasn’t a fool. Although sowhat prideful, she wasn’t arrogant enough to disregard everything.
If both Xu Ping’an and Qin Yue said so, then perhaps there really was a problem with her.
She had actually been pondering the gap between her and Xu Ping’an ever since she woke up.
And she had finally realized the difference in strength between her and Xu Ping’an wasn’t too great.
The real gap lay in her control over the battlefield compared to that of Xu Ping’an, who could predict her mode of attack and use this prediction to greatly extend his advantage.
Such a gap couldn’t be understood without experiencing many life-and-death battles.
With this thought, she couldn’t help looking towards Xu Ping’an again.
"Could it be that he has gone through many life-and-death battles? But according to the data, his combat experience doesn’t seem that extensive either," Qin Hanshuang wondered to herself.
At this mont, Qin Hanshuang had developed a curiosity towards Xu Ping’an.
She had set Xu Ping’an as her target to surpass.
Xu Ping’an was not aware of these developnts; at the mont, he was focusing on Li Qingyi’s competition.
anwhile, Yu Chenglin had also descended onto the battle platform.
As Li Qingyi landed on the battle platform, a wave of enthusiastic cheers erupted throughout the venue.
Yu Chenglin had quite a reputation in the imperial capital.
After all, he was the legitimate eldest grandson of the family of the nation-stabilizing general, and his strength was extraordinarily formidable as well.
Among his peers, only Long Zhan and Song Kaitian could be considered his equals.
So even believed Yu Chenglin’s strength surpassed that of Long Zhan.
"Just surrender, you are no match for , I don’t like to fight against won," Yu Chenglin said indifferently.
His words caused an uproar throughout the crowd.
It seed that Yu Chenglin didn’t take Li Qingyi seriously either.
In his eyes, Li Qingyi was just a weak woman.
Li Qingyi’s eyebrows knitted slightly, her gaze cold.
"Perhaps it is you who should surrender, I have promised junior brother Ping’an that I must enter the top five. No matter who my opponent is, I will defeat them, no exceptions," Li Qingyi said decisively.
Her eyes were filled with an unprecedented determination.
Although Xu Ping’an told her that it didn’t matter if she lost,
she did not want to lose; she wanted to fight shoulder to shoulder with him at all tis.
She wanted to catch up to his pace.
If she fell behind this ti, she might never have the chance to catch up to Xu Ping’an again.
This was sothing Li Qingyi definitely did not wish to see.
Yu Chenglin was also taken aback, not expecting Li Qingyi to say such a thing.
"If that’s the case, then let’s fight. I will show you the difference between you and ," Yu Chenglin declared.
The next mont, a long blade materialized in his hand.
With one slash, an incredibly sharp Blade Gang burst forth.
The Blade Gang tore through the air, emanating a terrible whistling sound.
Everyone gasped in astonishnt.
Such a powerful Blade Gang, it was extrely condensed and incredibly sharp.
Any Fifth Rank expert would die upon contact.
Yet facing Yu Chenglin’s blade, Li Qingyi remained unflustered, her Sharp Sword slashing down in a single motion.
She was executing the fifth form of the Sky-breaking Sword Technique.
Sword Gang collided with Blade Gang, causing heaven and earth to shatter.
All were stunned speechless.
This battle was too intense, wasn’t it? It had barely begun, and such a terrifying fight had already broken out?
And while everyone was still in shock, Li Qingyi and Yu Chenglin had resud their fight.
Their figures intertwined ceaselessly, with sword light and blade light clashing constantly.
In just an instant, they had already exchanged well over a hundred moves.
However, Li Qingyi seed to be sowhat suppressed.
Yu Chenglin’s blade work was fierce, showing no leniency despite Li Qingyi being a woman.
Li Qingyi was forced to retreat step by step, with nurous blade wounds appearing on her body.
Yet, Li Qingyi seed as though she felt no pain whatsoever, attacking wildly without even defending, managing to fight Yu Chenglin to a standstill.
With an expressionless face, Xu Ping’an observed, but a chill had already begun to surge in his heart.
