The battle ends

"What is wrong with these families? Are they trying to embarrass us by not giving us face?!" Elder Lin Ke slammed the table as he look at the smiling patriarch of the Xia Family.

Even Lin Huang that rarely gets angry nevertheless was also angry, the disrespect was too much.

The three patriarchs were led to the front seat and their gaze can't help but be attracted to the sword that was pierced into a large boulder.

The sword was long and thin, and its color was blue, even its blade seems to shine blue from different angles. And one could also see the streak of lightening that was swirling around it once in a while. But its most notable figure was the aura it was showing.

The aura made people at the master level to feel some breathlessness.

"That's Xuanyuan." Xie Mingzhu pointed out for Lin Yue.

"I see." Lin Yue nodded, feeling her palm getting sweaty at the battle that was about to start. The Xuanyuan sword might be hers, forever or never.

"You just have to do your best, daughter." Xie Mingzhu encouraged, and Lin Yue nodded appreciatively.

Soon, she and Lin Yu were called to the stage after a short welcoming speech by Lin Huang.

"These are our two most promising disciples, Lin Yu, and Lin Yue." He introduced, patting their shoulders for identification.

A thunderous clap erupted for the two and soon, the battle was declared to start.

"God, if you exist, please don't let me lose." Lin Yue muttered, feeling her hand shaking.

Damn it, when last did she feel this kind of feeling, probably when she sang on the stage for the first time in her past life.

Inhaling to calm herself down, she filled Little Xuanyuan up.

"Dazzling Array." She heard Lin Yu say, as he brought his sword up to his chest level and then with all his strength inserted it to the ground.

The sword released thunders and then linked it all around the stage like webs.

"Weaken." Lin Yue silently muttered, and then, the thunder webs weakened, until they finally disappear.

Lin Yu was shocked! That's one of his three best skills, and it has a cool down for a day because of the large quantity of Qi that it requires.

Seems like this little girl is a tough meat.

"Thunder Ball."

A large silver ball floated in the middle of the stage. Lin Yu directed his Spiritual Power into his palm and then at the ball, causing the ball to be enlarging in size and Lin Yue knew that if she let this Lin Yu guy continue, the ball is going to explode on her.

"Absorbed." She muttered.

And the Spiritual Qi that was passing out of Lin Yu's palm, into the ball started entering into her palm.

"How did she do that?"

Everyone was shocked.

Even her parents, after all, they didn't know that she had this kind of skill, and her master that knew it, he didn't know that she was able to absorb Qi.

Only Lin Yue knew that this was the result of the day and night practice of this manipulation skill.

In fact, not only can she absorb the spiritual Qi of objects, but she can also turn them into her own, and this was much faster than cultivating.

However, the setback, nope, not her own setback, but her opponent's, apart from the ability to render their skill useless after absorbing its Qi, she can also reduce their cultivation level.

And soon enough, Lin Yu felt the Qi in his soul core that has remain stagnant for a long time started moving.

For a moment, he thought that he was finally about to break through but soon, he realized that a quarter of his Qi disappeared.

He was shocked and looked at Lin Yue that has a small smile on her face and he was even more shocked as he hurriedly put down his hand.

Lin Yue sighed, now her soul core was finally filled, a little bit more and she would probably break through.

If Lin Yu heard her thought, he would probably fainted right there, not from the dizziness he was feeling from the sudden loss of Qi but from her heartless words but thankfully, he didn't.

However, he decides to end the battle once and for all, so he activated his most powerful skill.

"Shattering Hand."

The ground cracked and Lin Yue nearly fell but fortunately for her, she was stronger than before she entered the stage, so she managed to stabilize herself.

"Thunder Rain!"

Thunder flashed and before Lin Yu could understand what was going on, he was struck, and then, he fell.

This kind of feeling was really really strange to him, and he couldn't describe the feeling he was feeling at that moment.

He has activated his three most powerful skills, but the girl was still standing in his front, unharmed, and the tip of her sword was on his neck, just like he had done to others many times.

"Do you admit defeat?"

'After these, I should probably go and cultivate in some cave, I will also have to take that Hu boy with me," He thought.

"I admit defeat."

Lin Yue released the sigh she didn't know she had been holding.

Applauds resonated in the entire place.

Smiling, Lin Yue take her sword to her left hand and stretch forth her right hand for Lin Yu to take, causing him to smile at her and then take her hand to stand up.

He was weak, very weak and the girl whose height only reached his shoulder supported him heartily.

Lin Huang walked to the stage with a grin, without saying anything, he walk to the boulder and removed the sword with both hands, before handing it to Lin Yue.
