At times like this, the ability to preserve one's life becomes extremely important. The stronger the ability to preserve one's life, the longer one can last. The team of Yang Qi and others has been able to hold on until now because their overall ability to preserve their life and they have not encountered too much danger, and no cultivator has been forced to leave the secret realm.
Zhuo Qi smiled noncommittally, then said, "I heard that you were planning to spar with Wei Xuan?"
"good."
Yang Qi nodded and continued, "I have discussed this with Brother Wei before. Once we recover to our peak condition, we will have a sparring match."
"I hope your sparring with Wei Xuan can be postponed, at least until after I spar with you." Zhuo Qi looked at Yang Qi and said.
"After you and I sparred?"
Yang Qi was stunned and looked at Zhuo Qi in surprise. He was not surprised that Zhuo Qi wanted to spar with him. When he had just passed the Xuanjian Tower, Zhuo Qi came to him. It was reasonable for him to spar with him at this time.
However, what Yang Qi didn’t understand was why Zhuo Qi wanted to compete with him first
"Wei Xuan is a swordsman. His swordsmanship is pure and his swordsmanship is the highest among us." Zhuo Qi paused before continuing, "If it is a life-and-death fight, neither he nor I would be your opponent based on our own strength. But if we are just sparring, exchanging ideas on swordsmanship, it would be more helpful if you and I spar first."
Hearing this, Yang Qi fell silent, and nodded after a moment.
He had understood what Zhuo Qi meant. To put it bluntly, it was the difference in strength between them. The difference between him and Zhuo Qi in swordsmanship was small, and they might be able to gain some insights by sparring with each other, just like when Hu Yan fought with him. But if it was Wei Xuan, it might not be the case. Just like when Yang Qi fought with Zhuo Qi and even Wei Xuan at the beginning, his insights were completely specious, so Zhuo Qi proposed to spar with him first.
Yang Qi nodded, and then looked at Wei Xuan who was standing beside him, "I have no problem with that, but this matter still depends on Brother Wei."
He and Wei Xuan had agreed to compete against each other earlier, so logically they should have competed first. However, the method proposed by Zhuo Qi could obviously be of some help to all three of them, and it was undoubtedly the best way to compete against each other.
"I have no problem." Wei Xuan said calmly, then looked at Zhuo Qi and said, "But I hope that the three of us can learn from each other, so that it will be more helpful."
"That's exactly what I meant."
Zhuo Qi smiled calmly and continued, "But I'm afraid we have to wait until Hu Yan and the others arrive before we start sparring."
After all, Hu Yan and others are practitioners of the Xuanjian Sect, and Hu Yan is about to comprehend the heart of the sword. If he were to watch their level of competition in person, he might be inspired. It would be a good opportunity, and Zhuo Qi naturally didn't want Hu Yan and others to miss it.
Yang Qi and Wei Xuan had no objection to Zhuo Qi's proposal. Anyway, they had contacted Hu Yan's team before and believed that Hu Yan's team would arrive soon.
Sure enough, just as Yang Qi and others guessed, Hu Yan and his team arrived in just half a day. However, Hu Yan and his team had twelve people, not eleven, because their team had one more practitioner, the one who had fought for the token before. This person had originally been alone, but after the last fight for the token, he cooperated with Hu Yan and his team, and later joined their team, so Hu Yan's team had one more person.
Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, another half day has passed. The duel between Yang Qi and Zhuo Qi is about to begin, and both of them have recovered to their peak condition.
Hu Yan looked at the two figures standing opposite each other in the air not far away, and then said to Wei Xuan beside him, "Brother Wei, who do you think will have the upper hand in a head-on fight?"
Wei Xuan is the one with the highest level of swordsmanship among the few people, and his vision is also quite extraordinary. That is why Hu Yan asked Wei Xuan about his opinion on the battle between Yang Qi and Zhuo Qi.
“It’s hard to say. At their level, there are many factors that affect victory or defeat. Moreover, I’m afraid both of them have made progress over this period of time. As for who will have the upper hand, I’m afraid it will only be clear after the fight.” Wei Xuan said calmly.
The geniuses of their level, unless they encounter a bottleneck in their practice, are making progress every moment, the only difference is the size of the progress. For example, Wei Xuan was chased by a six-star martial emperor-level blood demon beast and was seriously injured, but in fact, he also gained a lot in this battle and his strength has improved!
Yang Qi and Zhuo Qi's talent and potential are no less than Wei Xuan's. Now it has been some time since the battle for the Seven-Colored Streamer. Wei Xuan has no way of knowing whether the two have made any progress during this period and how much progress they have made.
"Brother Yan, can Brother Yang win?" Yuan Hong looked at Yan Yi and said beside him.
Hearing Yuan Hong's words, Yan Yi smiled bitterly, and then he said, "If it's a life-and-death fight, Brother Yang will have no problem winning, but if it's just a pure head-on strength contest, it's hard to say."
This time, the competition was more of a direct test of strength rather than a life-and-death battle. After all, Yang Qi had only recently comprehended the essence of the sword, so it was hard to say whether he could win.
"I believe in Brother Yang. Brother Yang's comprehension is the most amazing I have ever seen. Although it has not been long since he comprehended the heart of the sword, it does not necessarily mean that his frontal strength is inferior to Zhuo Qi." At this moment, a pleasant voice came from the side. The person who spoke was none other than Sun Yue from the team.
Compared to Yan Yi and others who knew Yang Qi's approximate strength, Sun Yue not only knew Yang Qi's strength clearly, but more importantly, he knew clearly how terrifying Yang Qi's comprehension was. If the length of time spent practicing could determine strength, then there would be no such thing as people with outstanding talents in the practice world.
Buzz~Buzz~
Just as everyone was talking, two powerful auras rose into the sky not far away, and two terrible fighting intentions surged.
Zhuo Qi looked at Yang Qi and said calmly, "When I first saw your strength, I only knew that you were very strong. Later, I found out that you didn't even understand the heart of the sword. I was very disappointed. But now, you are fully qualified to fight me."
When Zhuo Qi first learned that Yang Qi had not comprehended the Heart of Sword Dao, she was quite disappointed and even thought that Yang Qi was not qualified to fight with her. However, after just over half a year in the Secret Realm, Yang Qi had already grown to his current level. Even Zhuo Qi, who was also a top genius, was extremely surprised. However, this also aroused her competitive spirit. Being able to fight with a genius like Yang Qi with all her strength was what she was most looking forward to!
Now, the two finally have the chance to fight to their heart's content. Regardless of the final outcome, Zhuo Qi is looking forward to it! (To be continued)
