Legend of the Heavenly Fruit
Eps. 113 — Training Compete
"Daughter, isn't it time for you to rest?" Zhou Yuan raised his eyebrows.
"You don't have to worry about my condition, I have enough stamina to compete with you all day long..." Jiang Yifei snorted in annoyance.
Right now the two were in battle practice as usual, even though Zhou Yuan was ordered to patronize the girl but the truth was that Jiang Yifei had always requested match practice with her.
Jiang Yifei really still had the ambition to defeat Zhou Yuan even though the girl realized there was a difference in distance between her and the young man's abilities.
Zhou Yuan himself let the girl's will continue to fight with him, in fact he was also confused as to what training Jiang Yifei was like but with this kind of match practice, at least the girl could learn many things especially the fighting experience.
"Elemental Fire — Breath Fire!"
Jiang Yifei let out a large amount of blue fire in his mouth, Zhou Yuan sighed then exerted a deep energy in his hand and split the fire apart.
Yifei took a cold breath, surprised by Zhou Yuan's actions. The girl had only first seen a burst of flames could be split like that while Zhou Yuan let Jiang Yifei absorb the information that had just happened.
"Aren't you planning on pulling your sword?!" Jiang Yifei really felt unable to see the limits of Zhou Yuan's abilities so he wanted to see the strength of the young man.
Jiang Yifei realized Zhou Yuan was a swordswoman visible from the sword stored on his waist, even if not wearing his sword Zhou Yuan remained difficult to defeat for the girl.
"Both of my swords are heirlooms, it is not wise to use heirlooms as a training of the Princess." Zhou Yuan shook his head slowly.
Jiang Yifei racked his brain and then summoned a lady-in-waiting to his residence, Jian Yifei had his own area in this palace, not just anyone could enter there including the ladies and eunuchs without his permission.
Jing Yifei then asked to bring a wooden sword to the lady to Zhou Yuan.
Not long after the lady-in-waiting returned and carried the weapon in question, Jiang Yifei threw one sword at Zhou Yuan.
"I want to see your sword skills, don't hold back, use all your sword skills on me..."
After saying so Jiang Yifei took a deep breath and exerted a deep energy into his hand. A blue flame appeared in his palm, gathering, condensing, before then forming a sword.
Zhou Yuan was a little surprised, he did not expect the girl to already have this high understanding in her inner power control ability.
Making inner power into an element is a difficult thing to do, while turning an element into a solid form is another story.
Those who have mastered the change of types for a long time can indeed change the shape of the elements to the shape they want, such as the shape of a dragon, eagle, eagle, or any other animal while in the girl's case he could form a weapon with his fire element.
Zhou Yuan clucked in awe, this showed Jiang Yifei's extremely genius ability in martial arts, the Jiang Family's blue fire technique was also a high-level technique that could not be underestimated.
"Now that I'm the defending part, you can attack me like a real fight, just consider me your enemy..." Jiang Yifei signaled with his finger for Zhou Yuan to come forward.
Zhou Yuan smiled faintly before disappearing from the girl's sight for a second then appearing right in front of her. Without hesitation Zhou Yuan swung his wooden sword at the girl.
"Wait a minute, this-..."
Jiang Yifei was not ready or indeed would not be ready to face Zhou Yuan who was using his sword technique. He hurriedly held back the swing of the sword with his fire sword.
"In the meantime, I'm not ready..."
"Hey, I said stop!"
Repeatedly the girl asked Zhou Yuan to stop but the young man did not listen to her and continued to attack her
Yifei could no longer resist Zhou Yuan's incessant attacks, and his fire sword began to fade with time due to lack of concentration until he fell on the ground and soon Zhou Yuan's wooden sword moved near his neck and stopped there.
"In the original fight, the Princess must be ready for any situation that will occur. The opponent will not wait for the Princess to be ready, instead the opponent will attack when the Princess is off guard." Zhou Yuan pulled out his wooden sword, deliberately acting so that the girl understood the real battle situation.
Jiang Yifei wanted to be angry because of the man before but was stopped after listening to Zhou Yuan's words, even though he was annoyed that the girl realized that it was a real fight, she had already been killed in one strike.
Jiang Yifei got up and turned around to go into his residence without a word, Zhou Yuan thought the girl was angry with him again but his guess was wrong.
"Take this..."
Jiang Yifei threw a leather pouch that usually contained water at Zhou Yuan.
Zhou Yuan caught the bag and thanked him.
"I don't understand, you're the same age as me but the difference in the distance between our powers and abilities is very far away. How can you do all that?"
Jiang Yifei had always been cold to Zhou Yuan even until now, but after spending time with him he started to open up a bit and was willing to talk to the young man.
"By practicing more than anyone, and learning a lot from anything..." Zhou Yuan smiled faintly before downing the drinking water the girl gave him.
Jiang Yifei raised his eyebrows, feeling Zhou Yuan was unwilling to explain more honestly, the girl snorted but could not force Zhou Yuan to answer him any further.
Jiang Yifei turned to the now dark sky. "It's late at night, you can stay in my house, inside there are two rooms for you to sleep in..."
Zhou Yuan and Jiang Yifei's training was indeed very long even almost all day, both of them stopped when it was getting dark but in the case today Zhou Yuan was having a night match with the girl.
Although it was still in the same place, Zhou Yuan's room in this palace was quite far away from Jiang Yifei's residence so the girl offered Zhou Yuan to sleep in her house.
Zhou Yuan choked on his own drinking water listening to the offer, either Yifei was aware of his words or indeed the girl did not know the limits of men or women to where.
"No Princess, thank you, I'll sleep here." Zhou Yuan smiled awkwardly then leaned back against one of the trees in the courtyard of the girl's residence.
"Hm? You sure?"
"I love to sleep with the outside atmosphere, it makes me a little calm." Zhou Yuan smiled faintly.
Jiang Yifei sighed, not asking the young man twice but instead directly turned inside his residence.
Zhou Yuan smiled at the girl leaving, he took a cross-legged sitting position then started to close his eyes and replenish his inner strength that had been lost when training Jiang Yifei.
He actually only wanted to close his eyes for a moment and leave the girl's residence secretly but Zhou Yuan didn't expect that the tightness of his eyes would put him to sleep.
Zhou Yuan woke up as the sunlight washed over his face. When he opened his eyes, he remembered where the situation was.
"Damn, it looks like I fell asleep here..."
Zhou Yuan wanted to get up and wash his face but before doing so he discovered that something was on his shoulders. Zhou Yuan glanced over, seeing a sweet girl already asleep on his shoulders.
Zhou Yuan choked on his own breath, of course the girl was Jiang Yifei. Zhou Yuan did not realize when the girl had fallen asleep nearby.
