Su Chun rolled her eyes inwardly, wondering how she had ended up in such a belligerent sect.

"Disciple, I will do my best."

She said she would try her best, but in reality, Su Chun already had a plan in mind: even if she could win, she wouldn't.

After saying that, the two flew over and landed on a giant sword, each about ten meters apart, facing each other.

"Fellow Daoist, my name is Su Chun. Please enlighten me."

Su Chun first greeted Zi Yaohua politely.

"Zi Yaohua, please show mercy, fellow Daoist."

Zi Yaohua immediately responded with a reply.

After exchanging greetings, Zhou Zhen, the Grand Elder of the Ancient Sword Sect, glanced at the two of them.

"In this battle, I will be the referee. You all go all out. Don't worry about killing your opponent. Even if you are injured, the sect will take care of healing you. Remember, Yao, give it your all and don't even think about slacking off."

Upon hearing this, Su Chun wanted to curse.

"Old man, even if you don't die, losing an arm or a leg will still hurt a lot, you know? It's not you who will be in pain."

Zi Yaohua and Su Chun's gazes gradually sharpened, and their fighting spirit began to ignite.

Seeing that they were almost ready, Zhou Zhen raised his hand and slammed it down.

"start."

As the word "begin" fell.

Su Chun and Zi Yaohua moved at the same time, transforming into two streaks of red and blue light that shot out and collided with each other. Immediately following were the sounds of weapons clashing and figures flashing by.

Neither of them chose to use sword techniques from the start, but instead tested each other with basic moves.

Using newly learned sword techniques without knowing the opponent's background makes one vulnerable to being targeted.

"You're actually on par with me?"

After a few close exchanges with Zi Yaohua, Su Chun quickly made a judgment.

Although Su Chun didn't use any powerful moves, the problem was that she didn't deliberately suppress her speed, reaction time, or strength.

Zi Yaohua, on the other hand, appeared very calm and composed. Strangely, Su Chun clearly felt that the other party should have spare strength, but she deliberately acted as if she were evenly matched with her.

"Could it be that this woman doesn't want to win either?"

Su Chun quickly guessed Zi Yaohua's thoughts.

The two exchanged blows, neither showing any intention of making a move, which made Mu Zhuohua anxious.

"Su Chun, what are you doing? Quickly use the sword techniques I taught you to defeat her."

“That’s right, Zi girl, stop testing us. When we Ancient Sword Sect spar, we always go all out. Testing each other is pointless.”

Wang Qiong also called out to Zi Yaohua.

The moment Su Chun and Zi Yaohua passed each other, Zi Yaohua spoke first.

"Fellow Daoist, it seems you don't want to stand out. How about we end with a draw?"

These words made Su Chun's eyes light up.

"Is that so? That suits me perfectly. In that case, let's get started."

The sword in Su Chun's hand suddenly burst forth with a fiery red light, and then she slashed out with it.

"Phoenix Wings Soaring in the Sky".

The sword's magical power surged forth, transforming into a fire phoenix that roared towards Zi Yaohua.

"Well done! The blue sea is rising with the tide, and all rivers flow into the sea."

As Zi Yaohua was forced back, the sword in her hand emitted a blue light, which transformed into waves that collided with Su Chun's fire phoenix.

The power of this attack was already the limit that the two of them could unleash at their current level.

The clash of the water and fire sword techniques unleashed a powerful aftershock of magical energy.

The two seemed to be evenly matched, and after a long struggle, neither was able to break the other's attack.

Su Chun definitely had spare power. She didn't even use the power of her sword heart; she simply mobilized the fire-attribute magic power within her body, but her face showed that she was putting in a lot of effort.

Looking at Zi Yaoguang again, this woman clearly wasn't using her full strength, but her pretty face also showed an expression of giving it her all.

After a stalemate of half a minute, the two forces exploded simultaneously, and the two were each thrown back a distance.

"Again, a rainbow pierces the sun."

Su Chun steadied herself and unleashed another sword strike. This time, the strike was even more powerful. Flames enveloped her entire body, as if she had merged with the sword, transforming into a giant, fiery red sword that pierced towards Zi Yaoguang.

"Vast as the sea, with towering peaks and rolling waves, cut it down."

Zi Yaoguang's sword generated waves of water. When the power reached its peak, she swung the sword out, and this sword was like a raging sea wave, colliding with Su Chun's Rainbow Piercing the Sun once again.

This time, however, their swordplay was not evenly matched. Instead, after the clash, Su Chun's giant sword pierced through Su Chun's sword.

Su Chun's figure flashed past Zi Yaoguang, leaving a scratch on her shoulder.

"Good, very good, that's it, let's finish this in one go and defeat this little girl."

Seeing that her swordsmanship had gained the upper hand, Mu Zhuohua immediately started shouting like a little girl.

However, she couldn't smile immediately.

After being hit by this move, Zi Yaohua's face showed anger, and the blue light of her sword shone brightly.

"The sea and sky meet at the horizon, and the bright moon shines."

This sword strike was unique; the azure sword light was compressed into a single blue thread, which swiftly slashed towards Su Chun behind him.

Su Chun could have easily dodged it, but she chose to face it.

"not good."

Su Chun feigned surprise and blocked the attack with her backhand, but was then swiftly cut down from the sky by the sword and crashed heavily to the ground.

"Haha, Mu Zhuohua, don't be too happy yet."

Wang Qiong also burst into laughter.

Mu Zhuohua clenched her fists involuntarily.

Fortunately, Su Chun, who had been slammed into the ground, quickly flew up again and, after a few rounds, suppressed Zi Yaohua once more.

The two sustained more and more injuries. To outsiders, it appeared that they had used their full strength, and each strike had reached the limit of the early Foundation Establishment stage.

The intense battle was making Mu Zhuohua and Wang Qiong extremely anxious.

"Evenly matched? That's strange."

Zhou Zhen and the other four Core Formation elders from the other four peaks were all surprised.

"Is it going to be another draw?"

A middle-aged man with a refined demeanor murmured.

"How is that possible? Logically speaking, Zi Yaohua has better aptitude and cultivates water-attribute techniques, so her sword moves should be more powerful. Why can't she defeat Su Chun?"

Another elder raised a question.

"This Su Chun is quite something. First of all, she has a foundation in the Five Elements Spiritual Roots, and the cultivation technique she practices is a non-attribute technique, which allows her to use any type of magic power. Her sword moves are also very sharp. She has at least learned about 50% of Junior Sister Mu's Fire Dance Sword Technique."

"While Zi Yaohua is slightly less proficient in the number of sword techniques, she is still at least 40% proficient."

After exchanging blows for dozens of rounds, the two men were exhausted. They stopped, covered in injuries and looking disheveled, and squatted on the ground, panting heavily, both appearing unable to fight any longer.

Chapter 50 Entering the Hidden Sword Peak

"Huh...huh..."

"You're amazing. I tried my best, but I still couldn't beat you. I've lost."

Su Chun stared at Zi Yaohua and admitted defeat.

"No, I lost. Senior Sister Su's swordsmanship is clearly superior to mine. I admit defeat."

Zi Yaohua also quickly admitted defeat.

Both of them claim to have lost, so who actually won?

Ultimately, the conclusion should be made by Zhou Zhen and others; their opinions don't count.

Both Mu Zhuohua and Wang Qiong were quite dissatisfied, as this outcome was completely unexpected for them.

"Damn it, Senior Brother Zhou, Su Chun won, right? She clearly outshone Zi Yaohua in terms of sword technique comprehension."

Mu Zhuohua looked at Zhou Zhen.

"Bullshit! Su Chun clearly received far more direct attacks. Is swordsmanship only about the number of sword moves you've mastered? Shouldn't it be about the degree of control you have over each and every move?"

Wang Qiong quickly retorted.

Both women felt that their students had won.

This scene left Zhou Zhen completely bewildered, unsure of what to do.

But only Su Chun and Zi Yaohua knew that the other party had not used their full strength.

However, Su Chun really is a master at holding back; she deliberately let Zi Yaohua off the hook without her noticing.

"Damn it, I didn't even realize that Su Chun was holding back in his swordplay."

Zi Yaohua was also slow to realize it.

There are several ways to "let go" (or "let go"), including letting go in terms of strength or mastery of techniques.

A swordsmanship contest is definitely about who has the best control over each move.

The Fire Dance Sword Technique has nine moves in total. Su Chun used five moves, while Zi Yaohua's Azure Wave Sword Technique only used four moves.

Both had their strengths and weaknesses, and the result was a draw, as neither player was knocked down, but neither was able to continue fighting.

"Alright, alright, stop arguing. Who wins and who loses is not up to you two to decide. I'll wait for the judge to decide."

Zhou Zhen interrupted the two women's argument.
