THE LEGEND OF THE SWORD GOD
V1 #CH 108 XUE XIANG VS LUO YI
Xue Xiang and Luo Yi advanced onto the stage after hearing their names being summoned by teacher Zhi Hui.
The two of them stood quietly in each corner of the arena. Xue Xiang was standing at the left corner, while Luo yi was standing at the right corner.
"Xue Xiang, Luo Yi. You two have already understood the rules in this match?" asked teacher Zhi Hui firmly.
"Gry master," Xue Xiang and Luo Yi replied.
"Alright, then I announce the first match in the third round at the start," shouted teacher Zhi Hui.
"Sister beg for guidance," Xue Xiang said as she clenched her hands forward and Luo Yi also said the same.
Luo Yi took the initiative to attack first. He immediately moved towards Xue Xiang, while Xue Xiang was standing quietly in place but he remained vigilantly observing Luo Yi's movements.
"Ice Shadow Steps," Luo Yi said.
Luo Yi was known to have the fastest movements among disciples of her age in the Snow Moon Sect and her mainstay style was the ice shadow step.
Instantly his body disappeared from Xue Xiang's sight and left behind a shadow of ice similar to where he had stepped.
The icy shadows that appeared so much and were so fast, it made Xue Xiang's concentration disturbed and made Luo Yi's punch successfully hit his left arm.
"Your,"'
Xue Xiang's body bounced and fell to the ground, fortunately there were no serious injuries so he could instantly stand up.
"Sister, your movements turned out to be very fast. It is not wrong if you are dubbed the fastest disciple in the Snow Moon sect. But, that move was not enough to defeat me," Xue Xiang said as she looked at Luo Yi sharply, while Luo Yi only smiled sinisterly at Xue Xiang's words.
Luo Yi immediately attacked back Xue Xiang with her ice shadow step stance after seeing Xue Xiang not getting any serious injuries and being able to stand back normally.
Once again Luo Yi's body quickly disappeared from Xue Xiang's sight.
Xue Xiang could only observe every single ice shadow that Luo Yi left behind every time she stepped foot.
Xue Xiang then raised both his hands to his face and rubbed his two eyes with both his index and middle fingers while shouting.
"The Eye of the Full Moon."
Instantly both of Xue Xiang's eyes were enveloped by a beam of white light that was similar to a glasses.
The Full Moon Eye Technique is usually used by medical students to detect internal injuries suffered by patients because this style has the advantage of being able to see through so that he can see the flow of energy in the body living beings and also their blood flow.
"This move?!" xue Xian Hou said in surprise and asked the teacher of Xue Yun. "Xue Yun, have you taught Xue Xiang the full moon eye?"
"Why are you so careless about this style. Do you know the risks if this style is learned by a minor?" xue Xian Hou looked a little angry but he knew the teacher of Xue Yun must have his own reasons.
"I know the Sect Master. If the full moon's eyes are studied by minors, the nerve growth in their eyes will stop developing" Xue Yun replied.
"Then why are you still teaching him this style. This move was not yet the time to be studied by Xue Xiang," Xue Xian Hou asked with a sharp gaze toward the teacher of Xue Yun.
"A year ago when I traveled to search for medicinal ingredients in the forests of Northland. I accidentally got a mustika eagle eye. As the sect master knew, this eagle-eyed mustika had the ability to strengthen and protect one's eye nerves. I had therefore planted the eagle-eye mustika in Xue Xiang's two eyes before I began teaching him the full moon's eye style." explained teacher Xue Yun.
"So that's how it happened. Maybe this is his luck. Now Xue Xiang is the youngest disciple in the history of the Snow Moon Sect who mastered the full moon's eye style," Xue Xian Hou smiled.
With the full moon's eye style Xue Xiang could easily tell which one was Luo Yi's real body and which one was a shadow so that he could easily find Luo Yi's whereabouts and Attack her.
"Sister This time you won't be able to hide from my sight" Xue Xiang said with a smile and looked at the area around the stage with her eye style.
"Don't be happy just yet. Although you can find me and attack me, but you won't be able to defeat me" replied Luo Yi who was still hiding behind her shadow.
Luo Yi took out a fan and flowed it with ice energy. Every time the ice fan was flicked, ten ice blades would appear to attack Xue Xiang.
Again Xue Xian Hou was taken aback by his sect disciples. He then turned his head towards Xue Yin's teacher who was Luo Yi's guiding teacher.
"Xue Yin, is that the style of that very famous ice fan blade?" xue Xian Hou asked.
"True Sect Master," replied teacher Xue Yin.
"Where did he get that move? as I recall in our sect there are no books about that style," Xue Xian Hou asked in astonishment.
"Reporting to the sect master, Luo Yi's mother actually came from the Shi family. His mother's name was Shi Yan. The Shi family was the one who created the ice fan blade style. After Luo Yi's mother married Luo Yang, she had to stay in the Luo family home. And in the Luo family there was absolutely no one studying the martial arts of the ice element." Xue Yin replied.
"I understand. The Luo Family was the most famous medicine-making Family in the Northern Continent and they had all learned the fire element skill that was very useful in the process of making medicine. It's certain that no one has studied the ice element," Xue Xian Hou guessed.
"That's exactly why Sect Master, that's the reason madam Shi Yan sent her daughter to the Snow Moon Sect to study. Her daughter could not train there at all even she was ostracized because her ice energy could interfere with the pill burning process. Besides teacher Shi Hui is the younger sister of mistress Shi Yan, so she feels safe leaving her daughter here," replied teacher Xue Yin.
Luo Yi continued to flick her ice fan many times towards Xue Xiang while using the ice shadow step technique.
Xue Xiang slightly furrowed his brows when he saw where he stood would be showered with hundreds of ice blades from all directions.
