Chapter 1625: Chapter 1618: Courtesy Calls for Reciprocity

He paused, then frowned and continued, "However, I’m still not used to the feeling of the qi from my Qitian flowing out without my consent."

"Hehe," Cheng Ziang chuckled lightly, speaking calmly, "After casting Chanting Magic, any magic power that Young Lord can mobilize will be drawn over. You’ll get used to it."

"Such a spell, can it circulate and release qi without passing through the Qitian?" Huayu Ting asked.

"Of course," Cheng Ziang nodded and said, "Unless the caster’s meridians are damaged, it will not affect the guiding and release of magic power."

"Truly a great ability, it seems I also need to combine the two methods." Huayu Ting nodded in satisfaction.

He looked at the children not far away, struggling to learn Spells, feeling a sense of calm in his heart, then turned to Cheng Ziang and said, "You have fulfilled your promise; next, it’s time for me to fulfill mine."

"Much obliged, Young Lord," Cheng Ziang said happily.

"Let’s go, this place is not convenient, we should head to the training field arena," Huayu Ting said, beckoning Cheng Ziang to follow.

"Daddy!" Seeing Huayu Ting preparing to leave, the three children immediately scampered over.

"Daddy has work to do. You must listen to Mommy and the teacher obediently, no naughtiness or mischief," Huayu Ting stood and instructed.

Taking Cheng Ziang with him, Huayu Ting left the courtyard and walked down the hillside to Bicheng Mansion.

The two walked through the massive Bicheng Mansion, passing through the dazzling corridors, and finally arrived at a spacious courtyard. In the center of the yard was an arena built of stone blocks.

As soon as they stepped foot in the courtyard, Feng and Hu Daoke also arrived, presumably informed by Huayu Ting ahead of time.

"You came over, what about the saint?" Noticing Hu Daoke, Cheng Ziang couldn’t help but speak up.

"The saint is not a child needing constant company, with his prowess, no one is likely his match anyway," Hu Daoke said with disdain.

"Don’t worry, the saint is at my place; I assure you he won’t come to any harm," Huayu Ting said while taking off his extravagant outer garment.

"That’s not what I meant..." Cheng Ziang said somewhat awkwardly.

"It doesn’t matter," Huayu Ting replied as he walked confidently onto the arena, waving his hand at Feng, "I promised your companion I’d assist in your Cultivation. Before that, I need to know your level. Come on, spar with me."

Feng glanced at Cheng Ziang with some unease.

"Don’t mind me, attack with all your might, as if I’m your mortal enemy," Huayu Ting said, raising his eyebrows, a confident expression on his face.

"Feng, do not use the gun," Cheng Ziang reminded him.

"Understood." Feng nodded, drew the Yuanzi pistol from his lower back, and casually tossed it to Hu Daoke beside him.

Then, she slowly ascended the steps, drew her long knife from behind, and her gaze became sharp.

"Good, I like that look in your eyes, full of killing intent," Huayu Ting commented lightly, nodding in approval.

"Listen carefully," Huayu Ting’s smile faded as he spoke solemnly, "I will spar with you for a hundred rounds, pointing out as we go. You attack full force. Don’t worry about injuring me; at your level, you’re not there yet."

"Quite arrogant, true to a late Jiedan Realm expert," Cheng Ziang shook his head, not sure if it was praise or criticism.

Feng was earnest, doing exactly as Huayu Ting instructed.

So as soon as Huayu Ting finished speaking, Feng chopped the air with her knife, unleashing a blade of Qi Force that fiercely struck at him.

"Decisive, I like it!" Huayu Ting shouted in approval, his excitement palpable.

He crossed his arms, resisting Feng’s Qi Force attack. The Qi Force that could rip a body in an instant raised dust but failed to harm him.

Seeing this, Cheng Ziang gaped in shock, but then thought it only made sense.

Huayu Ting was a Dual Dao Cultivator, mastering both Royal Dao and Ba Path.

Among them, the Ba Path’s Zhongyan is focused on defense, and not just any ordinary defense.

Zhongyan is a protective membrane created on the surface of a cultivator’s body to enhance their physical defense while being immune to magic defense.

In other words, unless he uses a Yuanzi gun, Feng almost has no way to deal with Huayu Ting.

As a Dual Dao Cultivator, to defeat someone like Huayu Ting, Feng would have to deplete all the magic power in his body.

But that was clearly impossible, as Huayu Ting was stronger than her, naturally his magic power reserves were much more significant. Before Huayu Ting ran out of magic power, Feng would be the first to fall.

Therefore, from the beginning of the encounter, Huayu Ting standing before Feng was an almost invincible existence. To defeat him, one could only resort to means outside the rules.

Qi Force was Feng’s starting move. Whenever she released her Qi Force, the next step would be to get as close to the enemy as possible and then use her exquisite swordsmanship to defeat her opponent.

However, using such a tactic against Huayu Ting seemed a bit rash.

As expected, Huayu Ting was not at all afraid of Feng’s rush. With a slight smile, he swung his palm and actively welcomed her advance.

Feng’s long blade first aimed for Huayu Ting’s face. After making several feints, she successfully broke through Huayu Ting’s defense, with the blade tip directly pointing at his eyes.

"Excellent sword skill!" Huayu Ting couldn’t help but shout, and immediately swung down a palm, deflecting Feng’s lethal strike.

Although the Kedal metallic blade could slice through iron like mud, it was powerless against a magic shield, thus Feng’s physical advantage was nullified.

After a dozen exchanges, Feng relied on her clever footwork and exquisite swordsmanship to repeatedly attack Huayu Ting’s vital points.

For Huayu Ting, such attacks were not fatal, yet they were shockingly impressive, even causing him to break out in a sweat.

It had been a long time since he had faced an opponent like this, and it excited him even more, making his attacks become increasingly fierce.

After thirty rounds, Feng was the first to falter and took the initiative to retreat, putting distance between herself and Huayu Ting.

Because she realized that continuing in this way was pointless.

Although her regular attacks did not consume magic power, and Huayu Ting’s defense did, his abundant magic power reserves meant trading stamina for magic power would eventually lead to her defeat from exhaustion, which is why she opted for a tactical retreat.

"Wise choice." Seeing Feng taking the initiative to retreat, Huayu Ting nodded in approval and said.

"But beware, you don’t have time to think!" As Huayu Ting spoke, he swung his palm and actively attacked Feng.

Feng hardly had the chance to contemplate a countermeasure before she was caught up in the struggle with Huayu Ting. Struggling to parry, she had to rely on her agile footwork to dodge Huayu Ting’s assaults.

Dealing with Huayu Ting, one thing was very important. Royal Dao was lethal, while Ba Path was troublesome.

In layman’s terms, cultivators of Royal Dao were very dangerous, and one could be killed in an unguarded moment. However, cultivators of Ba Path were extremely troublesome; besides exhausting their magic power, there was hardly any good countermeasure to them.

And for Dual Dao Cultivators, they were both lethal and troublesome.

This is why Dual Dao Cultivators are so revered in Kyushu. Because if someone truly cultivated to this extent, they could basically dominate in Kyushu.

In the duel with Huayu Ting, Feng clearly realized this point.

Huayu Ting was too difficult to handle; as long as he clung to her, she could only be exhausted by defense. And he was also very lethal; she had to be extremely cautious to avoid the risk of sudden death.

Although Huayu Ting had promised to stop at points, it was after all a fight, and no one could guarantee there would be no accidents.

Without the enhancement of a Yuanzi gun, facing the challenging and lethal Huayu Ting, Feng’s shortcomings were completely exposed.

Her sword skills were indeed superior, but they were traditional combat skills, not Ba Path skills. Once faced with a Dual Dao Cultivator, she would appear very embarrassed.

Though the bout had not reached a hundred rounds, the outcome was already very clear. Without the support of Demigods and a Yuanzi gun, Feng was no match for Huayu Ting; if Huayu Ting really wanted to kill her, he would not need a hundred rounds.

When the fight reached over eighty rounds, Feng decided to take a risk. She actively summoned her magic power and then struck out with a palm, aiming directly for Huayu Ting’s heart.

Facing such an attack, Huayu Ting did not even think and directly swung his palm to meet Feng’s thrust head-on.
