Chapter 62: Lu Xueqi's Challenge, How Can You Know My Swordplay?
“An absolutely unexpected surprise?”
Hearing this, Su Han looked Shui Yue up and down, feeling her slightly softened body.
“Could Shifu (Master) have had a change of heart?”
At this moment, Shui Yue had no idea what Su Han was thinking...
As she spoke, her gaze drifted slightly towards the white-clothed girl in the distance among the crowd, Lu Xueqi.
It wasn't hard for her to see that her young Disciple looked at her other beloved Disciple, Lu Xueqi, with different eyes.
In her heart, she actually wanted to facilitate this matter.
After all, putting aside the saying 'keep the fertilizer within the family', having her two most cherished Disciples together was better than having Xue Qi marry into another peak.
Moreover.
She could tell that Xue Qi didn't dislike Su Han in her heart either.
The reason they were constantly at odds was simply because she felt Su Han had taken 'everything' that should have belonged to her.
After all, before Su Han came up the mountain, Lu Xueqi was the most special one on Xiao Zhu Peak.
Everything was just a child's temper and her being too competitive.
And just as Shui Yue was deep in thought.
At this moment, a sudden commotion erupted on the arena not far away.
Lu Xueqi stood on the arena, not looking at the Disciple she was competing against, but instead looking at Su Han on the high platform, her tianya divine sword drawn from its sheath.
The surrounding Disciples looked at each other, whispering amongst themselves.
“What's wrong with Senior Sister Xueqi? Why did she suddenly draw her sword and point it at Junior Brother?”
“Could there be some conflict between them?
But usually, I haven't seen them have much conflict.”
“Could it be because of the powerful strength Junior Brother just displayed, which made Senior Sister Xueqi feel pressure?”
The discussions rose and fell, everyone guessing Lu Xueqi's thoughts.
Shui Yue and Su Ru also looked surprised, exchanging glances, a little curious.
At this moment, Lu Xueqi slightly raised her chin, and her tianya sword in her hand let out a soft hum.
Her clear, cold voice echoed on the arena: “Su Han, do you dare to come up and fight me!”
As soon as these words were spoken, the whole audience was in an uproar.
No one had expected that Senior Sister Xueqi would ignore her opponent and directly challenge Junior Brother to a fight.
Immediately, everyone's eyes focused on Su Han, waiting for his response.
Hearing this, Su Han's lips curved slightly upward, revealing a confident smile.
He slowly stood up, his gaze firm as he looked at Lu Xueqi, and said loudly: “Why wouldn't I dare!”
With that.
Su Han looked at Shui Yue, “Shifu (Master), what do you think?”
Shui Yue looked at Su Han, then at Lu Xueqi, and nodded slightly.
“Alright, you two were bound to have a fight sooner or later.”
“Since that's the case...”
Saying this.
Shui Yue stood up and looked at the Disciple opposite Lu Xueqi.
“Xiao Shi, you may step down.”
The Disciple heard this and said, “Yes, Shifu (Master).”
With that, she walked off the arena.
Seeing this, Shui Yue instructed Su Han in a low voice: “Su Han, Xue Qi has always been competitive, you don't need to hold back in this fight.”
“If anything unexpected happens, Shifu (Master) will intervene.”
“Now, it's also time to let Xue Qi know that there are people beyond people, and heavens beyond heavens.”
“Otherwise, in the future, Shifu (Master) is afraid she won't be able to bear the blow of failure.”
Su Han nodded slightly, “Shifu (Master), this Disciple understands.”
With that, Su Han's figure flickered, appearing on the arena like a flash of lightning.
Their eyes met, and the air seemed filled with a tense atmosphere.
The Disciples below the stage looked at Lu Xueqi and Su Han with eager anticipation.
After all, before this, the hot favorites to win were only Senior Apprentice-Sister Wen Min and Junior Sister Lu Xueqi.
No one had ever thought that Junior Brother Su Han would be the biggest dark horse.
But now.
Senior Apprentice-Sister Wen Min has already lost to Junior Brother Su Han, so the first place will only be between Junior Sister Lu Xueqi and Junior Brother Su Han.
“I wonder, who will win between Senior Sister Xueqi and Junior Brother Su Han?”
“If it were before his fight with Senior Sister Wen Min, I would definitely think Senior Sister Xueqi would win.
But now, it's hard to say!”
“Exactly, although Senior Sister Xueqi is extremely talented, she still seems a bit lacking compared to Junior Brother!
To be able to defeat Senior Apprentice-Sister after being on the mountain for only a month, he's truly amazing!”
…………

…………
And just as everyone was guessing and discussing.
Xiao Zhu Peak, on the arena.
Lu Xueqi looked at Su Han, slightly frowning, and her clear, cold voice rang out: “Su Han, you've only been on the mountain for over a month, yet you've shown such powerful strength.”
“I, Lu Xueqi, never submit to anyone. Today, I want to see what makes you so extraordinary.”
Su Han nodded, smiling gently: “Since Junior Sister Xueqi has such refined taste, as her Senior Brother, I will naturally accompany her.”
“Junior Sister, please!”
Saying this, Su Han waved his hand.
“Junior Sister?”
Lu Xueqi's eyes turned cold, and the tianya divine sword hummed softly, “Who wins and who loses is still unknown!”
The next second.
Lu Xueqi held the tianya divine sword, her legs slightly bent.
Bang all!
The ground cracked, and Lu Xueqi, like an arrow released from a bow, was enveloped in pale blue spiritual energy and shot towards Su Han.
Seeing this, Su Han twirled the Ni Lin Sword at his waist.
Then he raised his sword, holding the blade horizontally, the sheath precisely blocking the attack path of the tianya divine sword.
Clang all!
A crisp metallic clash sounded, and sparks flew.
A powerful impact burst forth.
But Su Han's expression remained unchanged, his legs standing firmly on the ground.
Lu Xueqi saw her attack blocked, and Su Han remained completely still, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes.
“Su Han, is his physical strength this terrifying?”
“I clearly used spiritual energy, but he seems to have relied solely on his Physical Body...”
Although she was surprised, Lu Xueqi's attack did not stop.
She flicked her wrist, and the tianya divine sword instantly changed its attack direction, stabbing diagonally towards Su Han's waist.
Su Han's body slightly tilted to the side, and the Ni Lin Sword sheath cut downwards along with the movement, once again blocking the tianya divine sword's attack.
“Humph!”
Lu Xueqi let out a light snort, and the tianya divine sword in her hand shone brightly. She wielded the tianya sword, unleashing a series of fierce attacks.
The sword shadows split into seven, simultaneously attacking Su Han.
“Still not drawing your sword, let's see how you block this time!”
Su Han's lips curved slightly upward.
The next second.
He wielded the Ni Lin Sword in his hand in the same manner, and the sword shadows also split into seven.
Clang clang clang all!
A series of crisp metallic clashes sounded, and Lu Xueqi's sword shadows were once again blocked by Su Han, one by one.
“How do you know my swordplay?”
Lu Xueqi's eyes were filled with shock and confusion.
“How is this possible?”
“My swordplay is a secret transmission of Xiao Zhu Peak, and it's extremely difficult to practice.”
“And Su Han has only been on the mountain for over a month. Besides cultivating Taiji Profound Clarity Dao, how could he have time to learn swordplay?”
“But, he is now so familiar with my swordplay, and can even counter with the same Moves?”
A tempest surged in Lu Xueqi's heart.
She had always been confident in her swordplay, believing it to be one of her most unique advantages when fighting Su Han.
But now, after she used her swordplay, she was countered by Su Han with the same swordplay, which she found truly difficult to accept.
For a moment, Lu Xueqi stared intently at Su Han, as if trying to find the answer on his face.
“How did he do it?”
“Did Shifu (Master) teach him, or did he secretly observe me practicing swordplay...”
Lu Xueqi kept guessing in her heart.
