Wu Dapeng also advised, "That’s right, A’Xun, your talent is so great! If we weren’t unable to access top-tier cultivation techniques, you wouldn’t still be at the Base Building stage by now!"
Chi Xun’s expression remained completely unchanged.
He lowered his eyes and spoke slowly, "Yes... yes, if I were still with a big family, my cultivation would definitely be no worse than Bai Xiuyou’s."
He was unwilling to accept it!
And he was bitter!
But his family was dead, and he couldn’t return to the Chi family anymore. Even returning to the Chi surna was a re fantasy.
"Oh? Really?" Just as he finished speaking, soone entered the courtyard and imdiately responded, "You truly think you can surpass ?"
It was Bai Xiuyou.
The family had found the real third child. They were so overjoyed that they forgot about the punishnt of kneeling.
However, Bai Xiuyou rembered it. She had just co over and was about to kneel, but upon hearing Chi Xun’s words, she stopped.
The three of them were shocked.
They turned around and were even more surprised.
Because Bai Xiuyou was still quite far from them.
And yet, she could hear everything clearly!
This was the difference in strength!
Speaking like this in soone else’s territory, and being overheard by the host—this was truly embarrassing.
Wu Dapeng hurriedly said, "Fifth Miss, we were just joking, no offense intended!"
Shen Chong added, "Yes, yes, please forgive us, Fifth Miss. We apologize for this!"
Chi Xun, however, did not move.
Bai Xiuyou crossed her arms and stared at him with a raised eyebrow. "You said it yourself. Now you want your brother to apologize? You ca here as guests. Bai family, considering Nanli’s face, has been polite to you, without any neglect, haven’t we?"
"Yes," Chi Xun took a step forward and cupped his hands, "I was rude. Please forgive , Fifth Miss."
Bai Xiuyou, known for her broad-mindedness, would not cling to these simple words and continue bothering Chi Xun.
She waved her hand dismissively. "Alright then, little brother. Stop talking here. You don’t need to keep company."
Chi Xun, however, was irritated by the phrase "little brother."
Without a foundation and without strength, even his na was not worth rembering!
He stared intently at Bai Xiuyou, "I want to compete with you in swordplay. Will you accept?"
Wu Dapeng and Shen Chong were imdiately stunned.
"A’Xun, what are you thinking?!"
This was Bai Xiuyou, with Nascent Soul cultivation at an early stage. For Chi Xun to challenge her to a sword fight was nothing but humiliating and dangerous!
Bai Xiuyou’s eyes lit up, but when she rembered the cultivation levels of these three, her interest waned. She waved her hand dismissively, "Forget it. Even if you three fight together, you’re not my match."
She then realized her words were too arrogant and inappropriate, so she added, "I didn’t an anything by it. I’m just worried that if I’m too harsh, I might hurt you."
Chi Xun had acted impulsively just now, and was already feeling regret. But now, hearing Bai Xiuyou’s words, he couldn’t hold back anymore.
His expression darkened. "If you’re worried about hurting , just take so pills and refrain from using spiritual power. We’ll only compare sword techniques."
Bai Xiuyou stepped forward, sizing him up, "I’m not trying to be rude, but you three are independent cultivators with no sect. What good sword techniques could you have? I’m afraid you’ll end up crying after losing."
Wu Dapeng nodded with a smile, "Yes, yes, A’Xun is just joking. How could he have the qualifications to compete with you in swordplay?"
Shen Chong also agreed, "That’s right. Let’s go."
They tried to pull Chi Xun away again.
But Chi Xun, in his current state, was resolute.
He was very strong and shook them off once more.
His gaze was firm. "If it’s only a swordplay contest, I might not lose! Bai Xiuyou, if you don’t dare to compete, is it because you’re afraid of losing face?!"
Bai Xiuyou burst out laughing, her eyes shining with delight.
"I’ve trained to this point, won and lost. What do I have to fear about losing face?"
Seeing Chi Xun’s determination, she beca more interested and continued, "Are you sure you want to compete? Co with to the training ground."
"A’Xun, don’t go!" Wu Dapeng and Shen Chong were still trying to stop him.
Chi Xun also had a mont of hesitation.
But with the Divine Buddha Sect and others present at Bai family today, he should earn a future for himself!
He didn’t want to remain naless forever!
"Don’t worry," Chi Xun said. "I have confidence."
The two looked at each other, thinking, what good is confidence if you lack strength?
Seeing that Chi Xun had already followed Bai Xiuyou, they had no choice but to follow him. If sothing happened to Chi Xun, they would carry his body away for burial.
The training ground was large.
There was also a gong and drum.
Bai Xiuyou didn’t hold back. She went over and struck the gong forcefully. The sound of the drum echoed throughout the entire Bai family estate.
Wu Dapeng and Shen Chong nearly fainted.
Before long, not only Bai family mbers, but also people from the Divine Buddha Sect and Grand Lady’s group arrived.
After all, the sound of the drum signified a martial arts duel, so everyone ca to watch the fun.
When they saw Bai Xiuyou and Chi Xun standing in the middle, their expressions were all different.
Bai Peng was the first to ask, "What’s going on here?"
Bai Xiuyou answered, "This little brother wants to compete with in a swordplay contest. No spiritual power, only sword techniques."
Bai Peng, who always protected his own, glanced at Chi Xun coldly. "Who are you?"
"I’m Chi Xun, a junior," Chi Xun bowed, his voice resolute. "I’m an independent cultivator and ca here to ask for guidance."
Bai Peng snorted, "You’re an independent cultivator, what do you know about profound sword techniques? What’s there to compare? Today, I’ve found my daughter, and I was going to hold a big banquet and celebrate. Yet you want to duel now? You really have so deep intentions!"
Chi Xun’s intentions were seen through, but he didn’t panic. Instead, he said, "Lord Bai, it’s just a friendly spar. It will entertain everyone for a while, and it won’t take too much ti."
Bai Peng, confident in his fifth daughter, scoffed with a smile, "You think you can last a tea’s ti? Do you underestimate my Fifth Miss or Bai family?"
He felt that Chi Xun had deep motives and questionable intentions. So, he imdiately agreed with a sneer, "Then you can compete!"
He waved his hand, and a couple of family mbers brought out two wooden swords.
Today was not the right ti for bloodshed.
Bai Peng stepped back to the sidelines.
The crowd surrounded the area, showing no real interest. After all, in their eyes, Bai Xiuyou would win with a single move.
The gong sounded.
The duel began.
Both of them held wooden swords and imdiately began attacking with decisive stances. No flashy movents or wasted ti.
In the Immortal World, most sword techniques required spiritual power, but without it, the techniques seed a few beats slower.
However, the spectacle was still impressive.
Bai Xiuyou’s swordsmanship was already exceptional. She should have defeated Chi Xun in no ti, but unexpectedly, Chi Xun didn’t panic, remained focused, and easily countered several of Bai Xiuyou’s lethal moves!
Grand Lady couldn’t help but shout, "Good!"
Cinian also marveled, "This young man’s swordsmanship isn’t bad. If he had powerful spiritual power to match, his killing power would be formidable!"
Bai Peng had initially dismissed the duel, but seeing Chi Xun’s swordsmanship, he imdiately changed his expression.
His heart sank.
Worse, Bai Xiangyu shouted, "Not good, Fifth Sister is already at a disadvantage!"
