Nāgata: Infernal Night, Qinghan and I are True Love

Chapter 8 Can I learn this Frost Qi?

Seeing her gentle expression, Xu Tianyi noticed that Gu Qinghan, who was standing next to him, was secretly laughing because he had almost knelt down.

This put his mind at ease.

"Sect Leader, why don't we travel together to Anlu and talk as we go?"

Gu Feixue pondered for a moment and then nodded.

She then turned back and began to organize the caravan.

Xu Tianyi looked at the group of mountain bandits frozen in ice and felt a sense of admiration.

"The Frost Qi is truly powerful. Pavilion Master, I wonder if I have the opportunity to learn it?"

Gu Feixue frowned: "You don't know the meaning of Frost True Qi?"

Xu Tianyi nodded naturally: "I know, but no one doesn't want to become stronger."

Gu Feixue remained silent, while Gu Qinghan asked curiously.

"Young Master Xu, then tell me, what is your purpose in becoming stronger?"

Xu Tianyi smiled slightly: "Naturally, it's for upholding justice, naturally, it's for the sake of all living beings!"

Gu Feixue couldn't help but scoff: "All living beings? Even if you become stronger, what can you do for all living beings?"

Xu Tianyi resolutely declared: "To establish a moral compass for Heaven and Earth, to secure a destiny for the people, to continue the lost learning of the sages, and to usher in an era of peace for all generations!!"

These four phrases were used to create powerful artifacts in most parts of the ancient world.

The two women were indeed startled upon hearing this.

Turning her head, Gu Feixue felt a certain degree of approval for him.

But she still wouldn't let it go.

"It's easy to say, but the key is, what are you going to do?"

Xu Tianyi was overjoyed; it seemed there was definitely a chance.

He has internal energy but doesn't know how to use it. To put it bluntly, he doesn't have any ultimate moves or basic skills; he relies entirely on basic attacks and parrying.

Gu Feixue is the Crown Princess, although according to the background of Eternal Calamity, she is not very strong.

But that doesn't mean her legacy isn't impressive.

He has already considered becoming an apprentice.

Since you're going to become an apprentice, you need to build goodwill by catering to their preferences.

The other party's question was meant to make it clear that you have a clear stance.

Thinking of this, Xu Tianyi decisively said, "Naturally, we should assist the true master of the Wuji Empire in bringing peace to the world!"

Gu Feixue raised an eyebrow: "Then... who is the true master of the Wuji Empire?"

Xu Tianyi whispered, "Of course it's His Highness the Crown Prince..."

Upon hearing this, Gu Feixue smiled broadly: "Excellent, excellent, Young Master Xu is indeed a man of great ambition..."

"You flatter me, Pavilion Master. As the saying goes, everyone has their own unique talents. I, Xu, have been practicing martial arts since childhood and am proficient in all eighteen martial arts. I just saw that the young pavilion master's swordsmanship is superb. May I ask if I may learn from the young pavilion master's swordsmanship?"

Before Gu Feixue could even speak, Gu Qinghan chuckled, "Alright! But I'm currently at the peak of Martial Spirit..."

Xu Tianyi pouted: "I have no lineage, otherwise I might already be a grandmaster."

Gu Qinghan was only nineteen years old and had few friends. When she saw Xu Tianyi provoking her, she immediately couldn't stand it.

"I don't believe it! Then let's see what Young Master Xu has up his sleeve..."

Xu Tianyi quickly took a few steps back: "Greetings, Young Master. My swordsmanship is quite diverse, so please be careful..."

Gu Qinghan didn't care. She thought that a young man who was about the same age as her and whose cultivation level was only Martial Master could not possibly have any good swordsmanship. She just hoped that he could practice a few more moves with her and not be defeated by her in a few moves, which would be too boring.

Xu Tianyi, on the other hand, was very confident in his martial arts skills. Although he didn't have much practical combat experience, he had plenty of experience in sparring.

Furthermore, he still needed to prove his talent to Gu Feixue. Otherwise, no matter how confident he was, she would still look down on him because of his cultivation level. If he was looked down upon, there would be no point in mentioning becoming her apprentice.

With this in mind, Xu Tianyi decided that he would go all out.

"Are you ready? I'll give you a three-move head start since your cultivation level is low."

As she said this, Gu Qinghan smiled. She didn't have much combat experience; she mostly sparred with her mother.

I haven't experienced many life-or-death battles; most of them were just easy wins against weaker opponents.

She only had one life-or-death battle, and that was when she returned to Yongzhou from the Moon Wheel Kingdom, passing through the desert and encountering sand bandits.

I only managed to pass the level because I awakened the Frost True Qi.

Someone then suggested a competition with her, which piqued her interest and made her happier.

Xu Tianyi took a deep breath.

"Here it comes! Take this!"

Without further ado, he stepped forward and unleashed a move from the Bodhidharma Sword Technique: Bodhidharma Sending Off Guests.

He stepped forward, leaped up, and swung his swords straight at his opponent's forehead.

This move was exceptionally fierce, with both hands wielding the sword and slashing hard. There was a reason why this was his first move.

When facing an opponent who is shorter and weaker than oneself, this move will definitely put the opponent at a disadvantage if they do not have certain experience.

A duel is all about using your strengths to attack your opponent's weaknesses.

Gu Qinghan is about 1.72 meters tall, which is naturally not as tall as Xu Tianyi who is 1.83 meters. Moreover, she is a woman, so she looks weaker.

"bite!!"

As expected, Gu Qinghan lacked experience and blocked the sword with one hand. However, she didn't do much to deflect the force, causing her body to sway and barely dodge the sword.

Xu Tianyi immediately followed up with a sidestep and a horizontal sword strike, then executed a bow stance and a sword sweep, followed by a bow stance and a sword chop.

For a moment, Gu Qinghan was actually suppressed.

That's the advantage of being the first to act.

Neither of them used their internal energy, but Gu Qinghan suffered a small loss, which was about to turn into a big one.

The arena immediately erupted in clanging and banging as Xu Tianyi played with increasing enjoyment, even deliberately controlling his pace and letting Gu Qinghan win.

Faced with this barrage of sword strikes, which was like a flood, Gu Qinghan no longer held any contempt in her heart.

After briefly escaping her opponent's suppression, she turned around and thrust her sword forward.

This sword technique is called "Returning Snowflakes," and it was taught to her by Gu Feixue using the Wind and Snow Sword Technique.

The principle is similar to the counterattack; both involve feigning retreat and then suddenly launching a counterattack to catch the opponent off guard.

Xu Tianyi was also startled, but he always reacted quickly, barely managing to deflect the attack with a Floating Cloud Flying Flower.

But they were forced to switch from offense to defense.

Gu Qinghan, not one to back down, stepped forward and unleashed a series of sword strikes: a sword pointing, a leaping horizontal strike, a wrist flourish, and a flurry of flying snow...

Her swordplay flowed smoothly and effortlessly, clearly demonstrating the hard work she had put in.

This time it was her turn to be happy. She launched a fierce and relentless attack, completely oblivious to the need to stop, while Xu Tianyi was embarrassed, not daring to use his own killer move.

Those are all moves that risk injury for death. If I use them, I can win, but it will definitely kill her.

It should be understood that even a master who doesn't use internal energy can be killed by an ordinary person.

The two continued to clash, the clanging and banging sounds never ceasing.

Gu Qinghan gritted her teeth, probably because she was angry. She had almost used up all her sword skills, but her opponent was still able to block her attacks. She was furious.

Xu Tianyi was also troubled. He forced himself to suppress his desire to fight back and insisted on practicing swordsmanship with her, but he ended up suffering a great loss. It was really painful.

A moment later, Gu Feixue saw that the situation was not good and immediately called a halt.

"Alright! Qinghan, are you going to kill him?"

Gu Qinghan suddenly realized what was happening and quickly stopped.

"Oh...Young Master Xu, I'm so sorry..."

Xu Tianyi sighed helplessly, "If it weren't for my solid foundation, I might already be dead..."

Gu Qinghan gave an awkward smile, unsure of what to say.
