Chapter 275: Chapter 274 Spar Partner

"What condition? Just to be clear, if you’re thinking about me sacrificing myself or something like that, don’t bother. I’m an honest man, and I absolutely refuse," Lin Tian said with a resolute look, seriously.

"Refuse to die, huh? Be careful that big talk doesn’t twist your tongue!" Miss snapped, her teeth itching with irritation.

"Alright then, tell me the condition. To learn more, I’ll agree to anything as long as it’s not too difficult. After all, I’ve already promised to devote my youth and body to the Xiao Family," Lin Tian said generously.

Xiao Manxue really wanted to smash his face into a pig’s head. She felt like she must have owed Lin Tian in her past life because it seemed fate had sent him to torment her in this one. Otherwise, why was she always losing face in front of this jerk?

But in order to fulfill her master’s orders, she tried to keep her tone even and said, "I’ve said before, I don’t need your body!"

"Hehe, I didn’t say it was for you, I meant for the Xiao Family," Lin Tian chuckled.

"You..." Xiao Manxue felt awkward and realized she had fallen into Lin Tian’s trap. She felt that if they kept this up, they would never finish, so she said directly, "My condition is simple, just spar with me."

"Spar with you?" Lin Tian was surprised and said, "Why? I don’t remember that being part of the bodyguard contract."

Xiao Manxue sheathed her sword and said earnestly, "I won’t hide it from you. The last time in Zhonghai City, my master noticed I had made significant progress in Ancient Martial arts, so she asked if something special happened. I told her about sparring with you and having realizations. She suggested I do more real combat with you for quick improvement in my realm."

"So that’s how it is," Lin Tian said, suddenly enlightened.

Due to some misunderstandings, Lin Tian remembered sparring with Xiao Manxue more than once, especially that time in the room. After fighting her, he practiced absorbing the moonlight, which indirectly helped her.

"My master said I’m at a plateau now and need an opportunity or continuous real combat to break through to the Postnatal Perfection Realm. She thinks sparring with you is the best option," Xiao Manxue admitted honestly.

She knew Lin Tian seemed unserious most of the time, but he was actually very perceptive and saw many things clearly. Also, Lin Tian didn’t like being manipulated with clever tricks, so Xiao Manxue didn’t hide anything from him.

"Why don’t you spar with your master, then? Knowing each other well would make guidance easier during sparring," Lin Tian wondered aloud, puzzled.

"One reason is that my master is elusive and doesn’t stay in one place long. More importantly, we know each other too well, which nullifies the effect. It’s in the unknown and uncertainty of combat that one gains greater insights. If you’re unwilling, I won’t force you, and I’ll still tell you about the white dress," Xiao Manxue explained.

Miss had become so amenable, and Lin Tian was a bit unaccustomed to it. But he also saw Xiao Manxue’s genuine devotion to Martial Arts, pure and sincere; this was her path in Swordsmanship.

"Alright, since I eat your food and live under your roof, I agree. But I must warn you, I don’t hold back much, so make sure you don’t end up crying," Lin Tian pretended to sigh helplessly and said.

"Really?" A happy smile appeared on Xiao Manxue’s face, then she playfully retorted, "Hmph, I won’t be crying. We’ll see who strikes harder when the time comes."

Miss was both laughing and feigning annoyance, with a hint of coquettishness that left Lin Tian momentarily stunned. Trouble indeed; this cold and formidable CEO, transforming from a strong woman to a charming one, was dangerously endearing.

"Hmph, jerk, where are you looking?" Xiao Manxue’s face turned slightly red as she snorted coldly.

Under Lin Tian’s fiery gaze, she felt as if her silk dress made no difference, as if she were stark naked before him. Xiao Manxue let out a cold snort before drawing her longsword and thrusting it towards Lin Tian’s eyes.

Lin Tian was still enjoying her smile and her exquisite figure, pondering whether to check out what the black silk lining under her white dress looked like and take a look at some other places, well, just incidentally.

In the instant Lin Tian’s thought crossed his mind, the tip of Xiao Manxue’s sword was already inches away from his eyes.

This time, Xiao Manxue was serious. The seemingly light thrust was powered into the longsword, causing it to vibrate intensely. The rapid friction against the air heated the blade of the longsword, emitting an aura as if steel was burning.

My god, how fast is that thrust, and how much power needs to be poured into it!

Although Lin Tian was slightly distracted, his superb sensory abilities allowed him to clearly feel the sword tearing through the air towards his eyes, but in reality, it also targeted vital points like his forehead and throat.

"Hey, Miss, are you trying to murder your dear husband!" Lin Tian cried out in an exaggerated voice.

"Hmph, you dare to get distracted while fighting me? I told you, I don’t know who will end up crying," Xiao Manxue snorted, putting more strength into her longsword.

Lin Tian could already feel the intense heat from the sword’s tip, but alas, he didn’t know any sword techniques to counteract this. Was he supposed to rely on speed to dodge from the very first move? He’d be disdained by this proud woman, Lin Tian thought swiftly.

But his hands were already moving. Lin Tian swung his arms like the salutation of the thousand Buddhas, creating a blur of shadows, then clasped his hands together in front of his eyes.

His hands moved extremely fast and with great force, creating a gust of wind as he swung them, and when he clasped them, the air was compressed violently, making a booming noise that accidentally disrupted Xiao Manxue’s sword momentum.

Damn, power can be used like that, Lin Tian thought joyfully.

With a "boom," Lin Tian clapped his hands together, firmly trapping the longsword between his palms! He ignored the high heat of the sword, which could have burned a normal person, but for a zombie-like him, it was just like taking a hot shower.

"You... aren’t you scared of getting burned? Daring to catch a bare blade with your hands!" Xiao Manxue looked worriedly at Lin Tian’s clasped hands, expressing her surprise.

"What’s there to be scared of? I’m not afraid of your fiery passion, Miss, why would I be afraid of this little heat," Lin Tian blinked and said casually.

"You rascal! When have I ever been passionately fiery towards you, shameless!" Xiao Manxue said indignantly, trying to pull back her longsword but finding it stuck.

"Hitting is intimacy, scolding is love, right now it’s fiery passion, hehe," Lin Tian chuckled and released her longsword.

Xiao Manxue pulled back her longsword and stepped backward, then stomped her foot and charged forward again.

"Stop, hold on!" Lin Tian shouted, calling for a halt.

Xiao Manxue paused, her sword momentum halted, then saw Lin Tian, to her puzzlement, began unbuttoning his uniform and stripping off his clothes!
