Novel Full Chapter 435
Chapter 435: Chapter 68: Giving and Taking with Miss Shi Chapter 435: Chapter 68: Giving and Taking with Miss Shi The duel began, and Ling Yunpo did not rush to take the initiative, instead waiting for Shi Liuli to attack.
“To deal with just Miss Shi, I Ling Yunpo can’t afford to lose face by attacking first!”
“If I weren’t worried about being criticized by the Shushan upper echelons when I get back, I could fight Miss Shi using just my feet to control the sword, okay?” (referring to Unity of Body and Sword)
His display of gentlemanly conduct soon won the approval of the surrounding cultivators.
Shi Liuli was somewhat surprised but didn’t say much, simply raising the Purple Extreme Han Yuan Sword first.
???G?.??
“Why is Junior Brother Ling being so courteous, there’s no need, right?” Lin Duanshan said with a wry smile.
“What do you know?” An Zhisu, who had just won her match, returned to the edge of the field and seriously said, “Even if he gives his opponent time to prepare, Junior Brother is confident he can beat her, which is why he maintains the courtesy of a gentleman.”
“I just hope he doesn’t capsize in the gutter,” Duan Fenhai sighed.
“How could that happen?
He’s not you.” An Zhisu, in her mode of unconditional support, left Duan Fenhai speechless with her retort.
“Pfft.” Guan Shanyue couldn’t help but chuckle.
“What are you laughing about?” An Zhisu said, displeased.
“Nothing, my face just cramped up,” Guan Shanyue turned her head away, her shoulders still shaking.

On the field, Shi Liuli took the initiative to attack, shooting the Purple Extreme Han Yuan Sword at Ling Yunpo.
Such crude swordsmanship might suffice against an average cultivator, but Ling Yunpo found it inadequate.
With a simple parry of the Green Duckweed Sword, he deflected the Purple Extreme Han Yuan Sword.
But this was the opportunity Shi Liuli was looking for-her hands forming Daoist Formulas rapidly, she unleashed the Southern Dipper Galaxy Secret Technique.
In the previously empty White Jade Square, rivers suddenly surged forth in abundance.
The swirling and rushing waters quickly submerged the entire square, startling the weaker cultivators around, who all elevated their Sword Light to avoid being overwhelmed by the tumultuous waves below.
“What is that?” Lin Duanshan exclaimed in surprise, “Sword Dao Techniques?”
Since Miss Shi had always advanced by default, this was the first time she had used this secret technique in the White Jade Capital competition.
“No, it’s Daoist Magic!” An Zhisu said in a grave tone, “If it were Sword Dao Techniques, her True Yuan wouldn’t have lasted this long!”
Ling Yunpo had already ascended on the Myriad Bamboos Sword, and suddenly, a water pillar akin to a Jiaolong burst forth from the river below, shooting straight at his body like a cannonball.
The water was not ordinary but the water of the Heavenly River, with each drop having the weight of thousands, its force even surpassing that of a Flying Sword, powerful enough to crush a person alive.
Ling Yunpo, of course, took this into account, and simply sent the Green Duckweed Sword shooting out, chopping and slashing multiple times in quick succession, shattering the Jiaolong Pillar.
Shi Liuli, standing waist-deep in the water, let out a surprised yelp.
She was fully aware of the power of the Southern Dipper Galaxy Secret Technique.
The seemingly ordinary currents hid a force of thousands of pounds, capable of splitting mountains and breaking stones.
Yet, the opponent managed to slice it apart with the Green Duckweed Sword, indicating that both the sword’s hardness and physical strength were extraordinary, befitting the Eleventh Rank Immortal Sword that the eldest senior brother couldn’t stop thinking about.
But my tricks are far from over!
Last night, Luo Yan and I devised many clever moves…
A secret smile began to curl the corners of her mouth, as she once again rapidly formed Daoist Formulas with the hands hidden in her sleeves.
As Ling Yunpo shattered the Jiaolong Pillar, the water from the burst pillar suddenly defied gravity, rising and sweeping towards him again.
It turned out that Miss Shi had secretly dispersed the sand of the Tai Wei Hook Chen Yaopao Star into the water of the Heavenly River.
This star sand was a Magical Treasure sympathetic to Shi Liuli’s energy, already refined to the realm where she could control it with a mere thought.
Seizing the moment when Ling Yunpo broke the Jiaolong Pillar, she sprung it from the splash of water, shooting it towards him from all directions.
Since the star sand could condense and disperse at will, ordinary Flying Swords could do nothing about it, and if a cultivator got caught in it, it would wrap and grind them to dust, legs and arms included… Of course, no one would be hurt inside the White Jade Capital Secret Realm; at most, one would just suffer defeat.
Unfortunately, Miss Shi was unaware that her opponent actually possessed all of Brother Luo’s intelligence.
Ling Yunpo merely raised the Myriad Bamboos Sword quickly while simultaneously pointing downwards, chanting:
“Rushing Thunder Essence, chase the evil and plummet swiftly!”
No sooner had his voice faded than the Thunder Punishment Sword suddenly vanished, only to transform into hundreds of thunder light spears, plunging downwards at great speed!
Shi Liuli was taken aback and, not daring to be careless, hurriedly controlled her sword to leave the water’s surface.
As the thunder light spears pierced through the stardust, they instantly generated a magnetic force, attracting the surrounding stardust into a clump, then rapidly fell into the Milky Way, sending vast amounts of electric snakes scattering explosively in all directions.
Shi Liuli: ???
Wait, is the weakness of my stardust magical treasure actually the Thunder Method?
If Luo Yan were here, he would tell her that it was unrelated to the Thunder Method, but rather, it was the sealing Daoist magic of the Thunder Punishment Sword that contained a portion of magnetic elemental force.
The magnetic elemental force is the nemesis of all metal objects under heaven, and since the base of the stardust was meteoric iron, it naturally was no exception.
In her panic, Shi Liuli quickly accelerated the activation of the Milky Way water, ejecting seven or eight Jiaolong which spiraled upwards, lunging towards Ling Yunpo.
Ling Yunpo wasn’t in a rush to deliver a killing blow.
After all, if he really wanted to defeat her in a second, he could just unite body and sword and it would be over, given Miss Shi’s level of swordsmanship attainment which certainly couldn’t withstand it.
But if Shi Liuli were to lose too quickly, she would surely vent her frustration on Luo Yan afterwards, and why would he want to cause trouble for his future self?
Better to put on a bit of a show.
He calmly controlled his sword, dodging the Milky Way Jiaolong’s attacks, and used the Green Duckweed Sword to slice each Jiaolong to pieces one by one.
The Thunder Punishment Sword continued to plummet, using thunder light and electric snakes to lock down Shi Liuli’s movements, gradually taking control of the rhythm of the battle.
Despite Shi Liuli’s incredible luck, she seemed unable to utilize it against such a vast gap in strength.
Or perhaps, Miss Shi herself did not believe she could win against the second-ranked of Shushan, which made her even less able to put up a fight.
Thus, after a quarter of an hour, Shi Liuli finally ran out of True Yuan, unable to activate the water of the Milky Way, and was held at sword point by the Thunder Punishment Sword, forcing her to admit defeat obediently.
Oh, what a lack of suspense.
Ling Yunpo landed on the puddle-stricken White Jade Square, smiling at a greatly disheartened, annoyed, and unwilling Miss Shi, before once again taking off on his sword.
Returning to An Zhisu’s side, he saw Lin Duanshan and the others looking at him with a peculiar gaze.
“What’s wrong?” asked Ling Yunpo, genuinely puzzled.
“Ling junior brother,” Lin Duanshan said, puzzled, “you really went easy on her.
With her poor skill level, was there a need to fight for a quarter of an hour?”
“Wouldn’t it be over if you had directly used Unity of Body and Sword to eliminate her from the field?” asked Duan Fenhai, similarly confused.
“Oh, I just found her Water System Daoist magic quite interesting and wanted to have some fun,” Ling Yunpo hastily explained.
“It’s understandable for junior brother Ling to have a childlike heart and want to play,” said Guan Shanyue, covering her mouth and laughing, “but what junior brother is really interested in isn’t that Water System Daoist magic, it’s Miss Shi, isn’t it?”
Ling Yunpo shuddered and quickly called out to An Zhisu beside him:
“Senior Sister, don’t listen to their nonsense!
I have no impure thoughts, nor any intention of teasing Miss Shi!”
An Zhisu looked at him blankly, then revealed an indulgently protective smile, saying:
“Of course, I trust junior brother.
Don’t talk nonsense anymore.”
Lin Duanshan and the others chuckled.
“However, junior brother, you did have several flaws in your fight just now, we should talk about them,” said An Zhisu with a smile that seemed to take on a different flavor in Ling Yunpo’s eyes, “Come, let Senior Sister find a place to teach you.”
“No, Senior Sister!” Ling Yunpo was well aware of what was going on and wanted to struggle and plead for mercy, but he was immediately wrapped in sword light by Senior Sister An and vanished in an instant.
