He reached into the Sword Tower and pulled out a long sword, making a “please” gesture towards the other person:
“Mr. Moto, please.”
They both moved almost at the same time.
Chapter 23
Moto rushed over like a mountain, pounding towards Leslie. The slender sword in his hand was like a chopstick –
Just as the chopstick was about to poke him, the boy in the star robe gently sidestepped, and he jumped up agilely like a deer, no, like a leopard.
His silver hair drew a graceful arc in the air, as the long sword was thrust back, Moto’s throat seemed to automatically offer itself up.
The tip of the longsword pressed against Moto’s neck, and before everyone could react, the battle was over.
“Is it over just like that?”
Someone woke up like they were in a dream: It was only one round…such a simple move, and Moto lost to this big fool?
Moto’s already crimson face now looked like a roasted shrimp.
The sword Hong was like water, the sword radiance was unpredictable.
Moto lowered his head ashamedly:
“I lost.”
“…Hey, Moto, did Ruki drain all your energy last night? You have no strength in your legs?”
Moto scratched his head:
“Yesterday, Ruki was with Tata, but…”
He turned to Gaia, his attitude much more respectful, “Mr. Leslie, may I ask why I couldn’t avoid your sword?”
“It’s the momentum.” Professor patted Moto’s shoulder, “Alright, go down.”
“Did everyone understand?”
“No!”
“This is the innate sword sense, we call it ‘momentum’. Every paladin has this ‘momentum’, but there are only a few in the history of the Elven Continent who, like Mr. Leslie, can produce ‘momentum’ as soon as they touch a sword, making the opponent’s sword in their hand submit.”
“It must be that Moto is useless! However, he made a bet and lost, so Morley, go and kiss Mr. Leslie, oh, and Miss Fergus…Mr. Leslie, you’re so lucky to get a kiss from the two prettiest girls here…”
The noise from below, mixed with regret, became more and more lively.
Morley took the lead and walked up to the handsome young man, “Oh, Mr. Leslie, I’m glad it’s you who I won against.”
She opened her arms, wanting to hug him.
Little did she know, the young man held her back with the cold hilt of his sword:
“Sorry, Miss Morley, as the winner, I have the right to refuse this reward.”
At this moment, Liu Yu happened to walk up to him and heard this –
She laughed happily.
How could she forget that there was still such a persistent boy in the grove, who even in such a situation still refused the kiss of a stranger?
At that time, she handed out four drops of medicine, and relying on the slight closeness of the “life-saving favor”, she managed to soften him.
Liuyu took his wrist, tiptoed, and wanted to give him a sweet kiss –
“Including you, Miss Fergus.”
The cold hilt of the sword was raised in front of her as well.
Liuyu:…
Her smile froze on her face.
But it only lasted for a moment. She immediately regained her composure and elegantly bowed:
“Alright, my dear Leslie.”
Morley stomped her foot:
“Mr. Leslie, did you reject me because I am not as beautiful as Miss Fergus?”
“I am blind.”
The sergeants “shh”ed:
“Mr. Leslie, there’s no need to be modest, you’re stronger than all of us!”
The professor clapped his hands:
“That’s it for today! Today…we will talk about how to infuse the power of light into a long sword, making it invincible…”
Liuyu sat in the fencing field.
She was not idle either.
These past few days, she was unable to attend horse riding classes or fencing classes, the only ones she could attend were etiquette classes, theory classes, and divine arts classes.
She simply practiced Light Diffusion on the side.
Light Diffusion was the most basic divine art, only effective against dark creatures –
For other creatures, its effect was equivalent to a one thousand watt light bulb, other than providing light, it was practically useless.
However, Liuyu did not underestimate it because of this.
With improved proficiency, Light Diffusion would become bigger and the summoning time would become shorter.
And she had an even bigger ambition, she wanted to try Silent Magic.
In online games, a mage’s incantation could be interrupted by an assassin, but what was different about this divine art summoned by a recitation?
Without a knight’s protection, a small stone could disrupt the incantation.
While reciting, Liuyu felt the light energy vibrating in her throat and chest, flowing through her various apertures, and bursting between her fingers…
When she got tired from practicing, she would stop and watch the fencing for a while.
The sergeants’ fencing was much different from the fencing of first-tier divine art users. They started paying attention to the combination of skills and footwork –
But among them, Gaia was the most eye-catching.
As a godly incarnation, he had a natural instinct when it came to using divine power. As soon as the professor finished speaking, he had already successfully infused divine art into his long sword.
The long sword made a buzzing sound and broke.
The professor looked at him, as if remembering something, and threw his own sword to him:
“Master Lukas’ masterpiece, Leslie, give it a try.”
Gaia caught it and performed a beautiful sword dance.
In an instant, the sword blade was covered in a radiant light, the light flickered, and a crisp “crack” sound was heard. On the supposedly indestructible sword blade, numerous spiderweb-like cracks appeared.
