The Devil Sword Swordsman
Ch. 76 - Train Banding With Huang Kun
Xin Fai who had just left the gate of the sect immediately walked towards the shady tree located not far from the Lotus Temple, the place was already like her own home, already, recalling the 3 months more time he spent practicing the sword while recovering his strength here.
Xin Fai's body condition was already much better than before, even she who now had 120 inner power circles and would still increase if she continued to absorb as much natural energy.
Now the question that always haunts his head is answered already. By continuously absorbing the natural energy it was not impossible for Xin Fai to be able to obtain thousands or even hundreds of thousands of inner power circles.
A Celestial Emperor like Qiang Jun must have harnessed his natural energy as well as his strength to become the greatest person, which was what made Xin Fai optimistic about wanting to become a strong person like Qiang Jun.
Xin Fai will not forget that handsome young man. If it wanted to become a figure like Qiang Jun, then Xin Fai would have to strive to become stronger and stronger.
His first step now was to enter the Young Swordsman Tournament, Xin Fai did not want to miss with his rivals out there who likely had more power than him.
The clothes that Xin Fai was wearing was a beautiful lotus flower-shaped robe given by Reverend Tao Wei, the man treated her like his own son.
The longer one knew Xin Fai the people from the Lotus Temple liked him the more.
Xin Fai was happy to help the people around her and also chatted with them. Since the presence of the atmosphere in the Lotus Temple was much more bustling than usual, one of the Lotus Temple sect disciples familiar with it was Huang Kun, he was one of the three strongest disciples in the Lotus Temple Sect.
Huang Kun had a cheerful and talkative nature, he was a perfect match for Xin Fai's character who couldn't keep quiet.
Today Huang Kun came with Xin Fai to practice under the tree, they took their respective positions with weapons in hand.
Huang Kun took the initiative to advance first, he attacked with nimble movements. Everyone in the Lotus Temple already knew how formidable Huang Kun's strength was, he was a genius disciple in the Lotus Temple.
Xin Fai broke the pace of the attack easily, then changed to taking an attacking position. Since his attack could be fended off in one blink of an eye, Huang Kun frowned at it. He wasn't as focused.
"Don't let your guard down, or I'll win."
"I won't let it, hahhaha!" Huang Kun again focused his attention on Xin Fai's attack, for a moment his forehead again wrinkled as he felt the sword technique Xin Fai used was so foreign.
His movements were wildly uninterrupted, avoiding him only when Huang Kun was overwhelmed.
The technique Xin Fai used was a sword technique from Lan An who came from the Qing Empire, he combined that technique with his own fighting style.
Even so Huang Kun was an unyielding person, he intensified his attacks as much as possible when he found a gap. This time Xin Fai provided an opportunity for Huang Kun to make a move.
As he felt he could master the fight Huang Kun laughed happily, his smile widened even more when he saw Xin Fai retreat a few steps from his footing.
"Hahaha, I told you I'd win."
"really?" Xin Fai raised next to her brows about to mock, this senior of hers was very confident in her strength. "I just want to read your weakness, and use it as a stepping stone to my victory."
After Xin Fai advanced next to her feet, the tempo of her attack was much more terrifying than before. Defeating Huang Kun was no longer a difficult matter, considering that Xin Fai had previously even conquered many much stronger enemies.
After much practice with the other disciples in the Lotus Temple Sect and always a landslide victory, today Huang Kun had to accept the bitter pill of defeat from his own junior.
"How can you be this strong?" Huang Kun even held his breath when he saw all of Xin Fai's sword techniques.
Xin Fai did not answer him, he only explained some of Huang Kun's weaknesses in using his sword that the enemy could use to break into his defense. It made Huang Kun open his mouth because he was taught by someone younger than him, but still he did the advice of Xin Fai and the results were not bad either.
Huang Kun's movements were better than before, his gaze on Xin Fai had now changed. Huang Kun currently considered Xin Fai to be a worthy opponent to him.
The fight was fierce, but Huang Kun was sure Xin Fai still kept his original strength and only released his strength that was on par with his.
The outcome of the fight was predictable, Huang Kun lost to Xin Fai. The young man said he would train even more considering he would be the representative of the Lotus Temple Sect to attend the Young Swordsman Tournament.
It was getting dark, Xin Fai extended his hand to help Huang Kun stand up.
"I was too arrogant with my strength, and didn't realize that there were still people stronger than me..." Huang Kun said it slowly, his defeat of Xin Fai being a hard blow to him.
"It's not just the power that determines one's victory." Huang Kun looked at Xin Fai who was looking at the sky.
"What's that?"
"Strong determination, that's what's been helping me to win over even more powerful enemies."
"More powerful than you?"
"Yes, I've faced demons as well as demonic monsters, their strength is far more terrifying than humans..."
Huang Kun could not hide his surprised expression, seeing that Xin Fai could face such a terrifying creature was certainly not a natural thing.
"Strong determination, yes..." Alternately Huang Kun looked at the afternoon sky, he smiled afterwards.
"Tomorrow I'll wait for you here, we'll practice the match like before."
Haven't had a chance to reply, Huang Kun cut first.
"Of course I will return with a strong determination to win from you!"
Xin Fai and Huang Kun both frowned, then laughed compactly afterwards.
