Chapter 134: New mission.
Xiao Lian was completely stressed out. His sweetheart was going against a guy who didn’t appreciate her delicate looks and dared to not concede right away. Many of her fans were furious, but Lee was interested in her choice of weapon.
The girl wasn’t small, no. She seemed to be thin and fragile compared to her opponent who held a rather thick and long sword with one hand as if it was a fork or a spoon. The curious thing was that she also wielded a sword, but it was less than half the size in comparison.
From the cyclops’s teachings in the fortress, Lee clearly remembered what advantages spears had against swords and for the smaller opponent it would be only logical to choose a spear. At least he would’ve done so.
Obviously, he agreed that the swords were much cooler looking weapons, but not from the practical stance point.
On the other hand, these principles were taught by someone who could go against the outer disciples, but loose their life from elemental master’s one move. More importantly, the scourge were trained to raid in large formations, thus the concept probably didn’t apply to someone actually wielding elemental power.
In this case, though, it did. Qin Yujian was at clear disadvantage despite her remarkable agility and speed. She danced around her opponent like a butterfly, with her four braids whipping through air like wings. And she was becoming increasingly faster. One might assume the larger opponent would tire out soon enough, but it was clear she’d be cleaved in two long before that.
She did put up a fight, though. On a couple occasions, after a successful evasion, she even managed to attempt to stab the opponent in the shoulder. Unfortunately he was even faster, and every time his deadly weapon whistled past her ear dangerously close.
The poor guy didn’t even realize that in one morning he acquired more mortal enemies than he would in his whole life. But everyone knew it was his own fault after cutting off one of Qin Yujian’s braids.
As expected, she lost, but earned the favor of all spectators. The opponent, on the other hand, became the villain of the competition, and even when he reached the semifinals, the crowd kept booing him.
