Chapter 191: Dragon-Phoenix Assembly (5)
Crack! The sharp sound of wooden swords clashing rang out, then half of one sword separated and spun through the air.
Namgung Shinjae looked at the half-remaining wooden sword in dismay before flinging it to one side.
It was the fifth peony sword.
Qing scratched her head, feeling awkward.
“Are the wooden swords a bit weak?”
“They’re carved from ebony, but hmm. This is troublesome. Sword Brother, one’s sword skill doesn’t improve by relying on strength.”
“What can I do if I’m strong? Should we draw practice iron swords instead?”
“We use wooden swords on purpose. Isn’t it because humans are weak that we use tools? Of course, in a duel to the death I would have lost immediately, but this isn’t just a match to determine a winner.”
Namgung Shinjae could be called the Lu Bu of sword sparring.
