62 Intense Fight , Broken Spear

WuXia was the first one to launch her attack. She started of with here basic move. Jiang Chen simple countered it using his first move, they were evenly matched.

Jiang Chen "Did you practice spear techniques too? Other than Martial Techniques?"

She just nodded her head.

Jiang Chen "Then our fight would be interesting?"

Xue WuXia "It should be?"

Soon the the total scenario of fight changed with it, both Jiang Chen and WuXia didn't just use martial techniques but their weapon techniques too, many few learnt those techniques they give wide ranges of methods a weapon can be used. Their attacks were no longer just simple attacks but they involved various principle of weapon skills too.

Ning'er "What is happening? Are they really their techniques?"

Ha Ling "Yes and No. They are their techniques induced up on the spear techniques they learnt."

Ning'er "I didn't understand?"

Ha Ling smiled and then started to explain his voice was not low so even others could hear it "Sister Ning'er , in our continent you know right only 30% people are able to cultivate beyond Body tempering realm."

Ha Ling "So over 70% people do not cultivate their attribute energy. They are not considered as cultivators and are considered only as commoners."

Ning'er "That is correct, many people with lesser cultivation techniques of basic and common could not cultivate beyond their extent."

Ha Ling "Even though they are not considered as cultivators, they still practice martial techniques. Since their reserves are lesser they don't prefer common grade techniques, they have their own type of cultivation method, they only develop their body strength."

Ha Ling "They form the major bulk in armies and military."

Ning'er "So what about it."

Ha Ling "Even they use weapons and all, but they don;t use attribute energy , they use different type of martial techniques they are mixed between Basic and Common grade techniques."

Ha Ling "These techniques doesn't deal with just attacks but there are thousands of stances and various move sets in them. These techniques no one among us practice because most of our skills are based on the attribute energy and power. All those stances we practice in those techniques are just the most effective stances we use of that weapon technique."

Ning'er "You mean to say Jiang Chen practices them."

Ha Ling "That re the techniques Jiang Chen practiced to core. They are embedded into his bones. I thought he would be only person who does that, if I am not wrong both Jiang Chen and WuXia practice them."

Ning'er "Are they that powerful?"

Ha Ling "They are not termed based on power, they are never made for high power, but more flexibility and sure hit. One hit could kill a person of equal rank, so they have various stances and various backup plans and lot more complex.They have a very tough regimen to practice them."

Ning'er "Do you practice them too?"

Ha Ling "I wanted to, but I couldn't cope up with it after some time and it was effecting my cultivation, so I have to drop the idea of learning them. But Jiang Chen was different, he spent his time practicing them and cultivating at night, his cultivation technique is super effective at night. We can almost say that, his cultivation technique would be no lesser than our techniques at night time. That was like tailor made for him."

Su Mo "How do you know all this?"

Ha Ling "Jiang Chen told me."

The each attack they are executing is getting more and more powerful , their fight was not just attacking and dodging but there were thousands of parameters involved. Each of their weapon movement was so complex and stressing that others could not understand how are they fighting at all, when are they able to manipulate heavenly energy to that extent. Their attacks were not just fast but unpredictable, they have long surpassed the techniques they are using. Neither of them are gaining any advantage easily.

There were only dozen or so people with straight face seeing this fight. Sai Chen, Xie Yang, Yin Po, WuHen , Xue Long they were able to keep straight face even though they felt inferior to the two people above the stage.

Xue Long "Brother Ha Ling, you seem to know them well. Are you trying to learn them now."

Ha Ling "Yes, Jiang Chen found a suitable technique for me. I already started learning."

Others felt bit threatened by this, they could ignore Jiang Chen and WuXia they are completely different level from them, but if even Ha Ling could learn that is a threat they can't undermine.

One of the elders responded to this then.

Elder Go "There are various such techniques available in the sect, you can find them in first floor martial techniques hall."

Elder Go spoke indifferently.

Ha Ling was not bothered by it.

Ha Ling "They are available easily, they are more abundant than martial techniques. They take lot of practice though. They deal with physical aspects more."

Su Mo "Can we practice them now?"

Ha Ling "They are tougher than martial techniques, we don't have to use heavenly energy or attribute energy, we have to rely only of our physical strength for that."

Ha Ling "Also finding the suitable technique will become bit trickier.Also consume lot of time. You can try that when you think there is no scope of improvement in your techniques and cultivation."

Ning'er "You said you will practice."

Ha Ling "I am ready to compromise on my cultivation for that now."

Ha Ling "Finally a hit."

He said as Jiang Chen's spear made a contact with Xue WuXia.

Ha Ling "Its blocked ." Ha Ling was seriously upset at this. He hoped that would make a contact. Fight would have ended.

The people most shocked were from Xue Family, WuXia was hiding here real strength, she was not slower but she was so damn fast that she finished learning such techniques and she can use her martial technique with them too. She didn't fail her previous assessments for good techniques she just downright ignored them.

She was given a poor quality weapon by family and here resources were limited being from branch family, yet she could do all this. Her mother was not a cultivator at all. Now things were slowly getting clear in their eyes.

Now WuXia's target is Jiang Chen , she want to get in good looks in front of Jiang Chen. If things went as she planned it won't be difficult for her to obtain what she needed. WuHen will become an alchemist. They can't suppress them here. WuXia is out of their control here. She never really cared about her father and with her sister becoming the first alchemist after ages to become a cross attributed cultivator.

WuHen was simply watching all the fight without batting a lid, she heard the explanation of Ha Ling, she realized how different is the groups she know from their group.

WuHen could sense her sister being in disadvantage, but she didn't feel anything wrong with it, it was Jiang Chen she is facing,how can this be easy. According to her no others could be match to her sister and Jiang Chen.

Ha Ling observed the indifferent face of WuHen and signaled her to come to their side. If it was someone else she would have given a thought of doubt. She already know Ha Ling, he was there when she cleared the test and when Jiang Chen brought her beasts.

WuHen "Elder brother Ha Ling, we meet again."

Ha Ling "Yes, we met again. How are things progressing with your beasts?"

WuHen "Brother, my relation with blizzard Mammoth is very good , it formed the bond the day brother Jiang gave it to me."

Ha Ling "That was within expectations. About three tailed fox?"

WuHen "It is doing good? It is very naughty beast. I likes to be pampered more."

Ha Ling just smiled at it " You know Jiang Chen's youngest sister, Jiang Ning also have a three tailed fox as her beast. You two will get along well with her.She also complains the same."

Ning'er " That doll is too shy and always hides behind her brother. You don't seem shy at all." she said politely patting on her shoulders.

WuHen "I hope I get to meet her. I don't have many friends in my age group." she said sadly.

Ha Ling "Hmm."

Ning'er "You don't seem bothered by your sister's fight."

WuHen "It is just a sparring session, sister told she can loose thousands of such fights."

Ning'er for some reason felt her heart beating very fast. She felt a serious threat here. Pitiful girl, she don't know about her two seniors watching the show enjoying snacks too.

Bing'er "You really are not threatened by her. She is very much like Jiang Chen."

Mo Qingcheng "She is one among us, if we feel threatened by every member it would be too troublesome, this scoundrel is too greedy bastard. You should already know this. He will not be satisfied ever."

Bing'er "True scoundrel. I can't even describe him by words, I hate him that much for that."

Mo Qingcheng "Also, WuXia is good girl, she would be lot helpful for him outside. She can be better than you being outside."

Bing'er "Hmm." she really didn't like it.

Mo Qingcheng "It had already crossed thousand rounds and result is not yet clear."

Bing'er "You both have something in common."

Mo Qingcheng "Our four attributes combined, are all there with Jiang Chen. Fire, Lightning, ice and Light. She has natural born talents for fighting and planning. I am good at alchemy and healing."

Bing'er "You both combined form a half Jiang Chen."

Mo Qingcheng , shook his head foolish girl.

Just as they were speaking , WuXia's spear shattered to pieces unable to continue fighting and Jiang Chen's spear tip stopped just a inch away from her throat.

Jiang Chen "This spear is too below your capabilities, it can't withstand your strength."

WuXia didn't bother looking at the shattered pieces of her spear.

WuXia "You also have a disadvantage in cultivation level. I admit defeat."

After that she jumped down from the stage. Walking towards Ha Ling's group where WuHen was chatting happily. Jiang Chen followed by.

Elder Go "Jiang Chen is winner. Are there any more challenges?"

After the fight between Jiang Chen and Xue WuXia no one else felt they should be displaying their skills. Their fight was so different and intense and no one could fully see the fight. Only elders have a pleased expression.

Elder Go "Now you can disperse, tomorrow all of you gather at the foot of the peak."
