15: Yu Ruoxue suffered a crushing defeat

Yu Ruoxue's arena, deservedly became the focal point of the entire venue at this moment.

Especially after Xiao Ling'er killed Lin Feng with a single sword, it made everyone in the audience look forward to this match even more.

Qingyang Sword Sect had an unwritten honor: any new Disciple who reached the Spirit Gathering Realm within one year of joining the Sect would, without exception, be classified as a Genius.

That was the Spirit Gathering Realm!

In less than a year after joining the Sect, they would Breakthrough the Qi Refining Realm, Body Tempering Realm, and directly reach the Spirit Gathering Realm!

Previously, Lin Feng had become one of the Geniuses after joining Discipline Peak.

Unfortunately, he died.

Now that Xiao Ling'er had defeated Lin Feng, she had obviously become one of the newly promoted Geniuses.

This gave the match between Xiao Ling'er and Yu Ruoxue a certain suspense.

"I don't think Xiao Ling'er will necessarily lose. At least, so far, no one has seen her full strength."

"I heard that this Xiao Ling'er used to be a laborer at Servant Peak, and it seems she only started to Cultivate three days ago."

As soon as these words came out, the people around him gave him a look as if he were an idiot.

"You believe that? It's clearly a rumor!"

"Have you ever seen anyone Cultivate to the Spirit Gathering Realm in three days? How ridiculous!"

"Someone actually believes such a clumsy rumor? Idiot!"

The person being mocked immediately blushed and dared not say more.

Could it be that this really was a rumor?

"Yu Ruoxue cannot lose. Senior Sister Yu's cultivation has not only reached the sixth heaven of the Spirit Gathering Realm, but her Sword Arts are also unfathomable, her steps as light as the wind, her sword strikes as swift as lightning, and as agile as falling leaves. She is the undisputed top female Sword Cultivator among the young Disciples of Qingyang Sword Sect, an existence we look up to... An ordinary person is simply not her opponent!"

"You sycophant."

"You!"

"Hahahaha."

After the laughter subsided, the battle between Yu Ruoxue and Xiao Ling'er also began.

The audience's support was overwhelmingly one-sided, with almost no one believing Xiao Ling'er could win.

Most people were guessing how many sword strikes Xiao Ling'er could withstand from Yu Ruoxue.

"Junior Sister, be careful."

Although Yu Ruoxue was proud, she did not underestimate her opponent and took the initiative to test with a sword strike.

This sword strike, just as the sycophantic Disciple said, indeed had an agile, falling-leaf-like posture. It drifted out unpredictably, its landing point elusive and strangely unfathomable.

Many previous opponents had been defeated by this very sword strike.

Xiao Ling'er was also secretly startled. The moment Yu Ruoxue drew her sword, she immediately felt full of openings, but this sword strike also had a huge flaw in Xiao Ling'er's eyes.

Slow, too slow.

"Your sword is too slow."

Although it was strange, Xiao Ling'er, who had comprehended the embryonic form of Sword Intent, looked at this sword strike without any fear.

She frowned, thinking of only one thing.

She had to maintain proper control and not accidentally kill her.

Clang!

Xiao Ling'er raised her sword to block, actually precisely blocking Yu Ruoxue's sword strike.

At the same time, under Yu Ruoxue's horrified gaze, Xiao Ling'er lightly tapped her arm with the flat of her sword, cutting a long slit in her clothing, revealing the beautiful skin underneath.

"Senior Sister Yu, you are not my opponent. Please concede."

Xiao Ling'er had a good impression of her and was unwilling to harm her.

Her control over her own strength was not yet perfect, and she was very worried about accidentally killing her.

Yu Ruoxue was equally startled. She could clearly feel that Xiao Ling'er had held back; otherwise, it would not have been her sleeve that was torn, but her arm.

"No! Again!"

But how could Yu Ruoxue, as the undisputed top female Prodigy of Qingyang Sword Sect, be willing to concede just like that?

Every Prodigy had their own arrogance.

She was no exception.

"Junior Sister, this move is called 'Seven Steps Startling Cloud Sword.' Please forgive me for offending you!"

After the previous exchange, Yu Ruoxue had already regarded Xiao Ling'er as a completely equal opponent and decided to use her full strength.

This move, the Seven Steps Startling Cloud Sword, was interconnected and layered, with the seven steps combined being enough to reach the seventh heaven of the Spirit Gathering Realm.

It was Yu Ruoxue's strongest killing move!

Outside the arena, Vice Sect Leader Chu Qinglian, seeing this move, couldn't help but feel a little anxious.

She didn't care about the outcome of the two, but Xiao Ling'er could not die.

She had invested so many Medicinal Pills in Xiao Ling'er, hoping that her Innate Ice Spirit Body would help her search for treasures in the Ice and Fire Secret Realm. She couldn't die here.

What was wrong with this girl Ruoxue? Why would she use this move?

If this move landed on Xiao Ling'er, it would surely result in death or severe injury!

Boom!

The Seven Steps Startling Cloud Sword layered upon itself, unleashing the ultimate power of this sword.

Yu Ruoxue's state also reached its peak. This sword was indeed her strongest sword!

After a deafening roar, a graceful figure flew backward from the stage. The figure's sleeves were torn, and her long dress was ripped into strips, revealing large expanses of fair skin.

But at this moment, no one paid attention to appreciating the graceful sight beneath the dress.

It was because the one who flew backward was not Xiao Ling'er, but Yu Ruoxue!

"Oh my god, Yu Ruoxue lost!"

"I didn't see wrong, did I? The one who was knocked off the arena was actually the Second Peak Prodigy, Yu Ruoxue."

"What's the name of the person who defeated her? How come I've never seen her before?"

"You haven't heard of her? I heard she has a Spirit Sea Realm powerful figure as her backer, and a few days ago, she even killed Zhang Qingqing, the daughter of the Third Peak Lord!"

"What, she's actually the daughter of a reclusive powerful figure?"

"Could it be the Sect Master's illegitimate daughter..."

Rumors and discussions exploded in the training ground.

The outcome of this highly anticipated match was so unexpected.

Yu Ruoxue's figure fell heavily outside the arena. She seemed to have forgotten that her charms were momentarily exposed, only staring in shock at the blue-clad girl on the stage who hadn't retreated a single step.

How was this possible?

Yu Ruoxue, defeated!

A Junior Sister from the same Peak quickly draped clothes over Yu Ruoxue, but Yu Ruoxue's eyes seemed glued to Xiao Ling'er, unable to move even an inch.

She actually hadn't even had her breathing disturbed after defeating her! And her feet hadn't retreated a single step!

Indeed, as she said, defeating her didn't seem to take much effort.

Returning to the resting area of the Second Peak, Yu Ruoxue immediately went before Vice Sect Leader Chu Qinglian to apologize.

Although she was a Prodigy of the Second Peak, her Revered Master was not the Second Peak Lord.

But Vice Sect Leader Chu Qinglian.

"Disciple Ruoxue has shamed Revered Master."

Yu Ruoxue knelt on the ground, not crying, but biting her lower lip tightly, her face full of unwillingness.

"Don't blame yourself. You were not her opponent to begin with. Moreover, this Xiao Ling'er even showed you mercy."

"Mercy?"

Yu Ruoxue was stunned for a moment, then looked at her own body, and then suddenly realized.

Facing her strongest attack, Xiao Ling'er not only defended with ease but also managed to control her own strength, only tearing her clothes without harming her body.

Not even a single scratch of blood was drawn on her skin!

Such precise control!

Such terrifying Sword Dao attainment!

Only then did she realize that she wasn't just slightly inferior.

But had been left far behind!

Who exactly was this Xiao Ling'er?!
