Xika was confused what to do when suddenly he was told to choose 2 weapons among the many weapons.

"Anu....Is Lian sure?"

Lian Minjie raised her eyebrows.

"Of course I'm sure. You've beaten me ten times anyway, so you've got to get a reward."

Xika wanted to ask why she could only choose 2 objects while she had defeated Lian Minjie 10 times, but she paused that intention.

"So....was that some kind of bet?"

"You can call it that."

"What happens when I lose?"

"You were rejected of course."

"........."

Xika was still a bit confused by this young man in front of her, but it seemed like Lian Minjie was already impatient to see Xika's choice, so he did not ask anymore.

Xika walked over to the weapons hanging on the wall. Xika had to admit that she was quite amazed by all these weapons in front of her.

There are a variety of weapons hanging. From swords, spears, sticks, chains, axes, hammers, mace, knives, there were even weapons that Xika had never seen before. Not just weapons, but also self-defense tools.

There are shields, armor, arm guards, chest, legs, helmets, and other tools that are useful for self-defense.

After looking around for a while, Xika turned to Lian Minjie.

He thought Xika had made her choice, but she was wrong.

"Where did you get all this stuff?"

Lian Minjie sighed confusedly with Xika who was even concerned about unimportant things when valuable variety was presented in front of her and she could take it.

He went forward and wrapped his arms around Xika's neck.

"My new brother, you don't have to worry about unimportant things. Just pick 2 of these amazing things."

Xika was silent and stood a bit stiff as Lian Minjie embraced her.

"If you have trouble making a choice, I can give you advice. You can choose two, so you better pick one weapon and one protector."

Xika was still paying attention to those weapons.

"Do you have any other weapons? What you haven't shown me, maybe?"

Lian Minjie released her embrace and looked at Xika strangely.

"You're really greedy my friend. But I don't have any other weapons. This is all I have."

Now Xika scratched her head and smiled awkwardly.

Lian Minjie who saw that immediately asked.

"What's wrong? Just tell me what's on your mind."

"Ehh...anu...it seems to me....ehh.....you know..........no....................but.....these weapons......"

And Lian Minjie looked at Xika with eyes that were now twice as wide as before.

"I-I didn't mean to mock your weapon, it's just me......"

Lian Minjie sighed.

"It's okay. I-i understand. But you have to show me the reason why you refused my gift."

"Eh?"

After saying that Lian Minjie jumped up and picked up the sword hanging on the wall.

He flew his sword with qi and took out another sword.

His flying sword he pointed towards Xika while he himself ran towards Xika.

Xika lowered her head avoiding the flying sword, then twisted her body to avoid the slash Lian Minjie gave her.

"Senior....."

Lian Minjie paid no attention to Xika's call and continued to attack her.

Xika's eyes changed. Because it is like this, then he will not hesitate. After all, he had not fought with humans for a long time.

Now Xika is no longer just dodging. He began to counterattack.

He held back Lian Minjie's slash with his card.

Lian Minjie's eyes widened to see Xika holding her sword with a card.

Xika shifted her body so that Lian Minjie almost fell down.

Then he kicked Lian Minjie in the head. Lian Minjie lowered her head, just a little late he would be thrown a few meters away.

Xika throws her card and turns the Space Shifter into a stick. Lian Minjie fended off the Xika card, but the card returned to attack him after being thrown a few meters away.

"What?"

When Lian Minjie was still confused by the Xika card that could attack her after being thrown, Xika came and gave a stab with the Space Shifter.

Lian Minjie twisted her body so that Xika's attack missed, but Xika's card managed to scratch her stomach.

Lian Minjie gets serious when she learns that Xika's card can hurt her. He ran and took another sword (his flying sword had long since fallen when he was surprised to see Xika holding her sword with a card).

Lian Minjie was more confident when she held the two swords. Xika sent about half a deck to Lian Minjie.

"What?"

Lian Minjie showed her skill in sword fighting by fending off all Xika cards. But the cards kept coming back so Lian Minjie could not stop swinging her sword.

Lian Minjie's body was covered in green qi. Then the Xika cards were thrown further than before.  Lian Minjie used the opportunity to advance and attack Xika.

Xika smiled knowing that Lian Minjie turned out to be a wind element cultivator. He wanted to pit his wind element against Lian Minjie.

Now Lian Minjie was running with her sword covered in wind.

Xika pulled back her card to form a shield.

Lian Minjie's attack instantly destroyed Xika's card shield with ease, but it was indeed Xika's plan.

From the side, Xika kicked Lian Minjie's sword upwards so that its defense was wide open.

Xika pointed her fists which were now covered in wind elements towards Lian Minjie's stomach.

Exactly 2 cm in front of Lian Minjie's stomach, Xika's fist stopped.

It seems like I'm still losing, Xika thought.

It seemed like Lian Minjie was holding Xika's hand with the wind. Xika tried to break Lian Minjie's focus by holding her feet against the ground.

"What?"

Instantly, Lian Minjie's concentration collapsed and Xika was able to move her hand again.

Immediately he lay his hand and hit Lian Minjie's stomach quite severely. The ground that held Lian Minjie's feet shattered just like that.

Lian Minjie was thrown two meters away with her feet dragging the floor.

He nodded for a moment and then smiled.

His eyes are getting serious.

He ran again towards Xika with the wind all over his body.

Lian Minjie slashed her sword and when Xika dodged, she threw away her sword and used the wind to take out a new weapon.

He took the axe.

Xika is quite a hassle because it is the first time to face an axe user.

Lian Minjie slashed at Xika who was being held down with the Space Shifter.

Despite being detained, Xika was still thrown several meters away.

Xika salted and stopped herself from being thrown any further.

When he set his sights on his opponent, a chain with sharp edges was in front of Xika's eyes.

Xika hits the chain, but Lian Minjie pulls it so that the chain attacks Xika again.

This time Xika hit with an additional wind element. As a result, the chain flew even further than before.

Xika had never used a chain before, but she was interested in trying. So he turned the Space Shifter into a chain-like bending and sharpened the tip.

Now Xika and Lian Minjie are in a chain.

After several attacks, Lian Minjie's chains wrapped around Xika's hand. Of course Xika lost the chain fight because this was the first time he used a chain.

Xika poured fire from the chains wrapped around her hands so that Lian Minjie was forced to let go of her chains.

Lian Minjie's eyes widened when she saw Xika.

Lian Minjie picked up the knife and ran towards Xika.

Xika made a puddle of water in front of Lian Minjie so that Lian Minjie almost fell down.

When Lian Minjie was stabilizing her body, Xika came up with a Space Shifter that was now in the shape of a knife.

They were fighting knives for a while. However Lian Minjie who was more skilled in using knives, made a strange movement so that Xika was confused to attack him. He managed to kick Xika. When Xika attacked him back, Lian Minjie used the wind element to slow him down.

And now, Lian Minjie pointed her knife towards Xika's stomach which was already unable to dodge.

But what was heard was not the sound of a knife piercing the stomach but the sound of a knife meeting with iron.

DING!!

Lian Minjie's knife bounced slightly. Xika hit Lian Minjie who was still confused.

However Lian Minjie managed to dodge his punch.

Xika formed a stone and threw it in front of Lian Minjie thus creating a mist.

As the fog began to dissipate, Xika appeared with the Space Shifter which was now an axe-shaped.

Xika swung it a few times before being thrown by Lian Minjie's kick.

Using an axe was more difficult than he expected. Especially when you use it for the first time in a fight.

Xika stood up and realized that her breath was beginning to hunt.

In front of him, Lian Minjie was also standing with her breathing starting to irregular.

"Have you used all your abilities?"

Xika silent. He is afraid to be considered arrogant when he answers yet.

"Jawab only. No need to be afraid to offend me."

"....yet."

"good. Because I haven't put all my abilities into it either."

Xika instantly prepared to fight when she heard Lian Minjie say so. But Lian Minjie smiled and did not attack him.

"Other times, we will fight to our full ability. But not this time."

Xika lowered her fighting stance, but she was still confused.

"You forgot why we fought?"

After Lian Minjie said so Xika just remembered that she fought for rejecting Lian Minjie's gift. He forgot his reason for fighting because it had not felt a pleasant battle for a long time.

Xika scratched her head.

"Ehh..so...."

"No. I still mind."

"Eh?"

Lian Minjie walked over and took out two knives. Then he went to the defense and took out an object that was quite strange.

He handed Xika two knives and a strange object.

"These two knives are a pair, so I'll think of them as one. I don't know his name, you can name him as you please. This thing is a back protector. Sounds weird, I know. But it's pretty useful. Just put it on your back, it will adjust its shape to your back. I don't know what grade of artifacts these are, but they should be good enough. So use them as best you can."

When Xika opened her mouth Lian Minjie immediately looked at her sharply and said,

"You can't refuse."

Xika scratched her head again.

"Then, thank you senior."

Lian Minjie nodded and patted Xika on the shoulder.

He escorted Xika out of the shop and said,

"Later at 7pm, come back here again. We're gonna do a party together.

Take your time to do something useful. Remember, 7 o'clock. Don't be late."

Xika nodded and left Lian Minjie's shop.
