You Lose from the Start

Nowadays, there are few people in the Dao Sword Sect who are unaware of Li Shiyin's sword. Each of her strikes is lethal, precisely targeting the weak points of her opponents.

In this world, no one is perfect, so Li Shiyin is invincible.

...Is she truly invincible?

No!

Yan Tianxing has the answer!

Li Shiyin is undeniably strong, and her swordsmanship is undoubtedly deadly, but...

She is too young!

She is so young that the moment she reveals even the slightest flaw, she would recklessly strike, regardless of whether it's a trap or bait.

Too young, too arrogant, too...ignorant!

At this moment, the entire world slows down. Yan Tianxing watches as a golden thunder dragon emerges from within him, its ferocious horns pressing against Li Shiyin's sword. Then, Li Shiyin is struck by lightning and sent flying...

"This is the end!" he chuckles lightly. "This is the so-called invincible Li Shiyin? Nothing more than this!"

The thunder dragon completely emerges from his body, its golden body stretching several dozen zhang (a Chinese unit of length) as it continues to charge towards the airborne Li Shiyin...

The white-clad girl is sent flying into the air, while the fearsome golden thunder dragon below her bares its fangs, claws, and expands its sharp angles, soaring and pouncing upwards!

"No!" There are spectators below who can't bear to witness the cruel scene that is about to unfold, covering their eyes.

"A ruthless move, how vicious of Yan Tianxing. I've misjudged him in the past!" someone murmurs.

"Heh! It's satisfying. You stole my position as the genius back then, and now you face this calamity," someone says with a resentful tone, coldly laughing.

"Shiyin..." The white tiger below can't help but stand up on its hind legs, extending its claws. Seeing Li Shiyin's miserable state, it's about to rush out.

Upon seeing his appearance, Long Qiqi jumps up and kicks him on the knee, scolding, "Everything is under control. Why are you worried?"

"Oh..." Chasing the Wind finally puts his two front paws on the ground, dumbly asking, "Is this also under control?"

...Yesterday, when they were deducing the outcome of the battle, he seemed absent-minded.

Long Qiqi is furious and uses her short legs to step on Chasing the Wind's toes.

To prevent sword qi and thunderous attacks from injuring the disciples below, a protective barrier has already been erected on the Debate Platform. Li Shiyin is sent flying, flying all the way to the barrier. She touches it with her hand, then opens her eyes, and a purple sword qi flashes from her eyes.

She turns her body around, looking down at the ferocious golden giant dragon below, her expression calm...

"Heaven..."

Her body radiates light as she softly recites,

"Outside..."

Starlight shines from the sky, enveloping her.

"Fly..."

The light and starlight gradually solidify, forming a purple giant sword that wraps around her.

"Immortal!"

She descends from the sky, standing upside down, with a sword leading the way, directly aimed at the incoming golden giant dragon!

At this moment, a starry giant sword descends from the sky, and a golden giant dragon soars from the ground...

The giant sword and the giant dragon collide in mid-air!

"Boom..."

A deafening sound makes everyone cover their ears!

"Crack..."

Purple and golden light explode, dazzling everyone and causing them to close their eyes.

The terrifying power causes the Debate Platform to tremble, and the ground shakes as if an earthquake has occurred. Some disciples with lower cultivation and unstable battle prowess end up sitting on the ground.

I don't know how long it had been, but the ground stopped shaking, and the disciples below finally regained their footing. They opened their eyes and looked up towards the stage...

Through the protective barrier, they saw fragments of purple sword energy and remnants of golden thunder swirling inside, colliding with the barrier and creating a crackling sound.

Within those purple sword fragments and golden thunder remnants, a slender figure dressed in white descended gracefully, holding a long sword. She seemed like a celestial being accompanying falling petals.

Yan Tianxing looked at the girl who was three feet above the ground and couldn't help but exclaim, "Junior Sister, your sword energy is incredibly strong!"

"Senior Brother, you're quite calculating," Li Shiyin raised her sword and praised.

She lowered her head and saw that the Kan Water Yin Thunder had already flowed over. At this moment, it was just a little bit away from completely covering the Debate Platform.

"Unfortunately..." Yan Tianxing smiled, "The Kan Water Yin Thunder is about to take shape, Junior Sister, you're still going to lose."

"No!" Li Shiyin looked back at Yan Tianxing and replied, "Senior Brother, you lost from the beginning."

As she spoke, she extended her slender fingers towards Yan Tianxing once again.

"Do you want to try again?" Yan Tianxing shook his head, "That move was indeed formidable."

"Unfortunately, it's too late..."

Just as he was speaking, a voice suddenly came, "Tianxing, be careful!"

Yan Tianxing was startled. He suddenly sensed something and quickly turned around, only to see several solid purple sword energies shooting towards him from the spot where Li Shiyin had originally stood.

"Pluck the Stars, One Sword!" Li Shiyin softly recited.

She looked to the side and saw that the one who had spoken was the referee of the Debate Platform. This referee seemed to be an elder of Qi Peak.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh..."

The Pluck the Stars Sword cut through space, piercing through Yan Tianxing and returning to Li Shiyin's hand.

Li Shiyin let the Pluck the Stars Sword hover in the air above her palm without making it disappear.

Because...

The battle wasn't over yet!

"Ah!!! That old bastard!" Long Qiqi in the audience was furious and punched Chasing the Wind, "He cheated!"

"Is it still under control?" Chasing the Wind asked.

"Under control? My ass! I forgot he's from Qi Peak!!" Long Qiqi's small fists kept pounding on Chasing the Wind, "Ah, go and bite him to death for me!"

"Do you really want me to bite him?" Chasing the Wind stood up, hesitating.

"Ah, you idiot..." Long Qiqi was furious.

With the reminder, Yan Tianxing, in a critical moment, used Thunder Displacement and disappeared beneath the Pluck the Stars Sword.

"Phew!" Li Shiyin took a deep breath, suppressing the anger in her heart, "Even so, you're still destined to lose!"

She commanded the Pluck the Stars Sword and pointed forward...

"Clang, clang, clang..."

Several solid sword energies inserted themselves, forming a small circle, preventing the Kan Water Yin Thunder from forming!

At this moment, right in front of her, the Kan Water Yin Thunder on the ground wriggled and solidified into a humanoid figure. In a flash, it transformed into the appearance of Yan Tianxing.

Yan Tianxing's face turned pale. He looked at Li Shiyin and then at the sword energies preventing the Kan Water Yin Thunder from merging, and softly said, "Junior Sister, you understand me quite well!"

When the Kan Water Yin Thunder merges into a whole, the entire Debate Platform becomes Yan Tianxing's domain, and he becomes omnipresent. But now there is a small obstacle blocking his way, preventing him from freely merging with the Yin Thunder...

While traversing through the Yin Thunder, he can only determine the beginning and the end, but not the path. There is a gap isolated by sword energy, and if he enters, he may very well collide with the sword energy and be cut into pieces.

"Senior Brother!" Li Shiyin's face turned cold as frost, and she said in a firm voice, "Your heart is in chaos..."

When the heart is in chaos, vulnerabilities can be found everywhere.

Yan Tianxing is ultimately not the kind of shameless old monster. With the help of the referee, he managed to escape the Pluck the Stars Sword and gained time to arrange the Kan Water Yin Thunder, but...

He couldn't pass the test in his own heart. He always knew that he had lost.

He had cheated.

Yan Tianxing remained silent.

Li Shiyin disappeared and reappeared, leaving a shallow wound on Yan Tianxing's neck.

"I won," Li Shiyin said, sheathing her sword and turning to walk down from the Debate Platform.

But at that moment, she suddenly noticed that the protective barrier of the Debate Platform had not been closed.

She looked at the referee and said, "Senior Uncle, please open the protective barrier."

"This assessment is still under dispute, and you cannot leave for now," said the Qi Peak referee.

"What did you say?" Li Shiyin raised an eyebrow, coldly asking.

"In this assessment, the disciple Li Shiyin violated the rules by using the protective barrier of the Debate Platform, leading to a disputed assessment result," the elder of Qi Peak said with a serious expression, explaining in detail to Li Shiyin.

"Based on my judgment, under the Thunder Art - Thunder Dragon of the disciple Yan Tianxing, Li Shiyin should have been directly knocked off the Debate Platform and lost the qualification for the assessment. However, due to the violation of the rules by the disciple Li Shiyin, who used the protective barrier of the Debate Platform, she was allowed to remain on the Debate Platform. In this assessment, the disciple Li Shiyin has already lost the qualification for the assessment!"

"What?!!!" Li Shiyin couldn't contain the anger in her eyes anymore. This old man...

She looked at Yan Tianxing, who kept his head low without making any expression, then turned to the referee, tightly gripping the hilt of the Star Tilt Sword, and said with a cold smile, "If I hadn't held back, Yan Tianxing should be..."

A voice suddenly interrupted her words, "Please state your reasons for dispute again, Senior Brother!"

She turned around, and her master slowly descended from mid-air, landing in front of her.
