"Brother Chu Feng, since you've agreed, shall we begin now?"
Chu Lingxi asked Chu Feng — she truly couldn't wait to spar with him.
"Hold on a moment."
As Chu Feng spoke, he formed hand seals, and the power of his sealing formation surged from within his body like a gushing spring, swirling all around him.
Under the surging power of the formation, the wounds covering his body vanished almost instantly, and even his clothes were restored.
"So he really was faking those injuries."
Seeing this, everyone now understood that the wounds on Chu Feng's body had indeed been deliberately inflicted by those martial arts experts.
After all, the fact that he could heal these injuries so easily proved that they had been nothing more than superficial.
"Come." Chu Feng said once his wounds were healed.
"Brother Chu Feng, let me first experience your swordsmanship."
Chu Lingxi flicked her arm, and a pink longsword materialized in her hand.
The sword's body was translucent and exquisitely crafted, as though it had been tailor-made for Chu Lingxi.
Most importantly, its sword energy pierced toward the heavens, exuding an overwhelming dominance. It was not merely a half-completed Supreme Armament — it was a half-completed Supreme Armament of exceptional quality.
"Come."
Chu Feng gripped his Blue Jade Mandarin Duck Sword and leveled it at Chu Lingxi.
Whoosh—
In the next instant, Chu Lingxi vanished. When she reappeared, she was already right in front of Chu Feng.
Her pink longsword thrust straight for Chu Feng's neck.
The strike was fast, precise, and vicious — extremely sharp.
The blade had yet to arrive, but the sword energy had already reached him. Chu Lingxi had not been joking — her spar with Chu Feng was entirely serious.
However, Chu Feng was no ordinary opponent. Rather than blocking with his Blue Jade Mandarin Duck Sword, he thrust his own blade straight at Chu Lingxi's neck.
In the blink of an eye, Chu Lingxi's blade was already upon him, but Chu Feng shifted his body slightly and dodged the strike.
Even as he deflected her attack, his own sword had already arrived at Chu Lingxi's throat.
Yet what should have been a lethal strike in everyone's eyes — Chu Lingxi merely shifted her slender body with a subtle movement and evaded it just as effortlessly.
"My little Lingxi, your skill has grown tremendously."
Seeing this, Chu Feng couldn't help but praise her.
"My dear Brother Chu Feng, we've only just begun. If you want to compliment me, there's no rush."
Chu Lingxi flashed a sweet smile, her delicate little face radiating confidence.
Though the two of them were chatting and smiling as though they were merely playing around, the weapons in their hands told a different story. Their attacks were fierce and relentless, trading blows back and forth, and for a time, neither could gain the upper hand.
And in that moment, Chu Feng's amazement only deepened.
Chu Lingxi's progress was far too rapid. Although Chu Feng had not yet truly used his full strength.
