Chapter 63: Out of the Blue
They chose a spacious open space and Lu Ren drew out his sword.
Although Jing Yue recognized ten thousand swords in the sword pavilion of Nine Heaven Academy, he was not capable of knowing all the swords of the world at a glance. But his keenness towards swords was far better than before and he could see the characteristics of Lu Ren's long sword at a glance—speed!
This was a fast sword. In terms of all martial arts techniques, speed was the most difficult to overcome. Jing Yue had experienced the basic swordsmanship style of Sword Inscription Sect and the power would be multiplied when paired with a fast sword.
Jing Yue then took out his mini Canglan Sword and said in his heart, ‘Since you want to be fast, I won’t let you!’
Clang!
At the moment he made a move, Jing Yue found that his control over basic swordsmanship was more mellow and natural. This was all thanks to his practice over the past few months, which made his body act instinctively, every movement fluid and just right.
As expected, Lu Ren's moves were very fast, like a torrential rain full of ferocity, with the intensity of a bird of prey stalking a rabbit. As soon as he made his move, Jing Yue was forced to retreat steadily.
But Jing Yue was already familiar with the basic swordsmanship of Frostcloud Sect, and being a single water spiritual root, he could perform the moves like endless waves without any breaks.
No matter how fast Lu Ren was, Jing Yue could still control the rhythm, pitting slow against fast, every move counteracted the beat in transition. This made Lu Ren very uncomfortable and wanted to speed up and get rid of this entanglement.
