Chapter 211: Chapter 197: Blood Wolf Divine Guard

Li Heng respected Bao Yaoyao as a friend, so he didn’t hold back, immediately unleashing his strongest combination: the Ghost Butterfly Illusion Sword and the Wolf Walk Technique.

And so, the battle ended the moment Bao Yaoyao made her first move. The reason it took a minute at all was because Bao Yaoyao had asked for some time to adjust her mindset and see if she could cultivate a certain feeling. She felt she was on the verge of grasping a rudimentary Sword Intent.

When she first saw Li Heng execute his sword move and the bright silver butterflies appear, Bao Yaoyao only felt her long saber tremble, then lighten in her grasp, and then she had lost the spar.

Li Heng then discussed a few other matters with Bao Yaoyao before bidding her farewell and going to find Bai Shasha.

When he found Bai Shasha, the flat-chested loli was toying with two curved blades, lost in thought. After greeting her, they chatted about other things for a bit.

Then, Li Heng briefly explained the class placement situation and some details about the Xisha Area to the flat-chested loli.

"Li Heng, Teacher Wen said... I can choose any location I want, right?" Bai Shasha asked.

Li Heng nodded.

"Can I live near you?"

Li Heng was slightly taken aback by Bai Shasha’s proposal. Without overthinking it, he recalled that there were no neighbors near his place and replied, "How about we go check out the Xisha Area first?"

So, Bai Shasha returned to her old dorm room, packed up some of her things, and then headed to the Xisha Area with Li Heng.

On the way, Li Heng explained the rules of the Xisha Area to Bai Shasha, who nodded to show she understood. They then headed for the lane where Li Heng lived.

The entire process, from Bai Shasha arriving in the Xisha Area to selecting her own detached wooden house, took less than five minutes.

The flat-chested loli readily agreed upon seeing that the detached wooden house she would be living in was less than ten meters away from Li Heng’s.

"Li Heng, take me to see those two upperclassmen first. The rules of the Xisha Area are important."

After deciding on her residence, Bai Shasha wasn’t in a hurry to check the cleanliness or facilities of the wooden house. Instead, she was anxious to fulfill the rules of the Xisha Area.

This was the first time Li Heng had seen the flat-chested loli wear such a serious expression when saying the word "rules." He was a little curious but didn’t press the matter.

And so, after getting Bai Shasha settled, the two of them walked toward Laundry Lane.

The two upperclassmen from Laundry Lane seemed to be in better spirits than before. Moreover, their attitude toward Bai Shasha was the complete opposite of their attitude toward Li Heng.

When they saw Li Heng, the two upperclassmen were enthusiastic, but hidden beneath their enthusiasm was anticipation—the anticipation of Li Heng taking over for them.

But when they saw Bai Shasha, the two upperclassmen from Laundry Lane kept talking to the flat-chested loli, bringing up every topic they could think of.

At first, Bai Shasha would give some sort of reply, but after she seemed to realize something, her answers became monosyllabic. After nearly half an hour of the two upperclassmen chattering endlessly, she finally chose to remain silent.

Only after seeing the flat-chested loli fall completely silent did the two upperclassmen from Laundry Lane slowly suggest that they could proceed with the spar. This time, the one sparring would be the shorter of the two.

Also, because Bai Shasha was a girl, the rules were changed slightly.

1. If the shorter upperclassman lost, he was originally supposed to treat Bai Shasha to a meal. However, she refused, so it was changed to him giving her five academic credits instead.

2. If Bai Shasha lost, she would have to treat the two upperclassmen to a meal and introduce them to some of her female classmates.

3. A draw would be counted as a loss for the shorter upperclassman, but he wouldn’t have to pay any compensation.

Once the terms were agreed upon, Li Heng, having become the first-year representative for the Xisha Area, was to act as the referee for the spar.

Seeing that both Bai Shasha and the shorter upperclassman were ready, Li Heng stood between them, raised his hand, and announced, "The spar ends when either side concedes. Pull your punches."

The shorter upperclassman’s weapon was a shortsword. A shortsword can be classified as a short weapon, but also falls under the category of Swordsmanship, making it slightly more difficult to master than other weapons.

The spar began, and Bai Shasha immediately moved to take the offensive.

Although the shortsword fit into two categories, the shorter upperclassman’s fighting style leaned more toward that of short weapons.

Thus, in Li Heng’s eyes, the spar between Bai Shasha and the shorter upperclassman gradually turned into a duel between two short-weapon users.

Li Heng had previously watched a spar between Bai Shasha and Qian Yun, two other short-weapon users, and every single one of their moves had been aimed at the other’s vital points.

Li Heng had originally thought it might be because the two girls were particularly ruthless. But now, watching the two before him spar, he suddenly felt that maybe it wasn’t about gender.

’Rather, it seems that short weapons themselves are designed for killing.’

Li Heng could tell that the shorter upperclassman had initially intended to go easy on her, but after two exchanges, he started getting serious.

Though it was just a spar, the deadliness of their moves didn’t diminish in the slightest; on the contrary, they grew even more vicious.

The head and throat became the primary targets for both fighters.

Li Heng remembered that when he had first met these two upperclassmen, they were both top-tier Soul Apprentices. They were just waiting for the attribute skill courses offered in the second half of their sophomore year or the first half of their junior year to start striving toward becoming Soul Warriors.
