Xu Ming looked at his ax and nodded. He could see that it was a special thing. The only downside was the fact that he was completely oblivious about using axes, and he didn't know any ax skills.
Even if he knew ax skills, he wouldn't have been able to use it since he was pretending to be someone else and couldn't do anything that would expose his identity. If he used any skills that the original host didn't know, it would attract much more attention than him acting strange or having faster reflexes.
Yu Yan also brought her sword out and held it firmly in her hand.
"Your weapon is nice too," Xu Ming complimented her as well.
"I don't need your praise," Yu Yan snorted.
"Since I was the one that challenged you, you can attack first," She told Xu Ming.
"It's fine. I prefer having you attack first," Xu Ming responded.
Since he couldn't use any skills, he preferred having her close it so he could surprise her or have a chance at winning.
