NOVEL SIMPLE Chapter 87
Zhongli lived up to everyone's expectations and really took the two to Xinyuexuan
【No, man, really go.】
【Why not go if your boss is paying for it?】
【Tonight's consumption will be paid by Master Hu.
After Ying had eaten and drunk her fill, she went to rest.
Because the staff of Qixing told her that tomorrow would be the real highlight.
The people defending the arena are all top masters of Liyue.
On the player's side, the screen goes black.
「After a night's rest, the next day」
——————
The next morning, on the platform at the entrance of Feiyun Chamber of Commerce.
It connects Yujing Terrace, the port and Chihu Rock.
It was early in the morning, and many people gathered around.
Some found a good position upstairs, just to see the upcoming"Sword-asking" competition.
Now the competition has not started yet, and the challenger Ying has not arrived yet.
There is only a blue-haired boy in the field.
He holds a book and ignores the eyes around him.
Xingqiu has been immersed in the play, although he is a little dissatisfied that the place he has to defend is right in front of his own house.
But since his father and eldest brother did not preach to him, Xingqiu didn't care.
Why would they preach? It's too late to laugh secretly.
For Xingqiu's father.
This sword-asking event was jointly organized by Tianquan Ningguang Lord and the immortals of the Seven Stars.
Their son can get their recognition, and the immortals personally selected him to defend the ring.
This is a certification of strength. He has to brag about it to everyone he meets now, and he feels very happy.
At this moment, he is holding a sign with his eldest son to cheer for Xingqiu.
Mu Yang never thought that these two are comedians.
"Why do I feel a bit like Uncle Da and Stephen Chow?..."
Xiangling and Chongyun beside them were not surprised.
Chongyun asked Xiangling,"Xiangling, you are quite familiar with that traveler, do you think Xingqiu can hold on?"
"It's difficult, isn't it? Ying's performance in that battle with the demon god was no less impressive than your idol's."
Xiangling told him,"Besides, she completes many commissions a day, so Xingqiu definitely can't compare to her in terms of practical experience."
As the two were chatting, the crowd at Chihuyan made way for them.
Today's protagonist, Yingmei, appeared.
She walked straight to the center of the field,"Are you my opponent?"
Xingqiu looked up, put away his book, and drew his sword.
"Guhua School, Xingqiu, please give me some advice"
"Ying, the traveler from another world.
This was actually what Paimon had in mind.
After all, it was strange to call oneself the Honorary Knight of Mondstadt or the Great Hero of Liyue in this situation.
Then, Ying took out his sword. The ordinary onlookers around were confused. They only saw Ying make a move.
There was nothing in his hand.
"This is...Is no sword better than a sword?"
"Hiss——Can we still play like this?"
This was Ying's new attempt last night.
Since she could inject rock elements into the sword body to strengthen the edgeless sword like Noelle, could she do the same with wind elements?
This is the effect of wind elements——shadowless sword. (Pinching his own curry stick)
For this reason, she specially changed into the one Kaia gave her today.——「"The Dawn Sword that cuts through the dawn and points to victory".
That is, the Dawn Sword, in order to confuse the opponent.
Let them not guess how long the sword is.
It's a pity that a sword can't show the effects of two elements at the same time.
Xingqiu was intrigued. He could sense that Ying had wind elements in her hands.
He knew that she was not the one who had a knife in her heart.
"Invisible blade, this is going to be difficult."
The crowd suddenly realized, and then nodded in understanding.
A great hero should use this kind of artifact.
No one could take her seriously when she used the edgeless sword yesterday. It must be like this.
——————
There is no so-called referee here. The attack can start at any time from the moment Ying steps in.
However, Ying did not move first.
She knew very little about the young scholar in front of her.
On the other hand, she had already exposed the fact of dual elements yesterday, so he must be on guard.
Seeing Ying did not move, Xingqiu prepared to attack.
His swordsmanship comes from the"Rain Cutting Method", one of the three major secret techniques of the Guhua School.
Xingqiu swung his sword and drew two fingers across the sword.
It cut towards the middle of Ying, but was blocked by Ying's sword.
Xingqiu immediately changed his moves, slashing horizontally and then slashing upwards,"Rain lines are hard to draw!"
Ying reacted quickly and blocked the horizontal slash with his sword.
Then he leaned back and avoided the attack.
After failing to hit the target, Xingqiu retreated slightly to a safe distance.
"As expected of someone who can fight against demons, this reaction is too fast."
"You are not bad, you are better than those people yesterday, it is my turn next."
Ying did not hold back, and with one sword, a whirlwind was created to block Xingqiu's sight.
Then he stepped out with his right foot, using the rock to block his retreat, forcing him to the designated position.
""Desolate Planet!"
With his left hand, he summoned a rock to hit Xingqiu into the air.
Ying gathered his strength, ready to end the battle with one strike.
Unexpectedly, Xingqiu summoned the Rain Curtain Sword the moment he was bounced up.
Using the Rain Curtain Sword as a step, he did not lose his balance, but instead rushed over with the force.
【Ying: Hehe, instead of running away, you came closer to me?】
【Xingqiu: How can I beat you up if I don't get close?]
Xingqiu attacked with three rain-curtain swords.
Yingmei had no intention of dodging the rain-curtain swords. She stood there, staring at the sword in Xingqiu's hand.
Xingqiu finally did not choose to rush towards Ying, but turned his attack to the side and retracted his attack.
He turned around and clasped his hands together,"I lost."
Yingmei imitated him,"Thank you."
Paimeng was confused,"Why did you admit defeat?" There were also many viewers around who didn't understand.
Naturally, there were some who understood and analyzed
"The three water swords were just feints, the real killer move was the sword in Xingqiu's hand."
"The traveler did not avoid it, so he naturally saw the flaw, and the transparent sword in her hand was the key to determining the outcome."
"If the sword's attack range is farther than Xingqiu's, then Xingqiu will definitely lose."
Xingqiu did think so. He thought Ying would panic because of the Water Curtain Sword.
But Ying was too calm. Her eyes seemed to have already won. She was just waiting for Xingqiu to enter her attack range.
And how big was her attack range?
Xingqiu didn't know, because he couldn't see the sword in Ying's hand.
This was just a competition, Xingqiu could take a gamble.
But if it was a real life-and-death fight, who would dare to gamble with their life?
In this battle, he lost.

In the live broadcast room, Xiao Guizi said
"This is too stream-of-consciousness, folks. It feels a bit like Gu Long's novels."
【Do you understand Gu Long again?】
【The anchor is just pretending】
【Is it possible that Mu Yang asked them to let him win?】
【This possibility is more likely.
Xiao Guizi said
"I believe that Mu Yang let her win himself, but if he lets others win, isn’t that a bit of disrespect for Ying Mei?"
"After all, our sister Ying is also the protagonist, and her name is"Ying", how can she not win?"
【Sora: You better be okay.]
