On the Debate Platform, Lu Junxing proposed an unusual assessment method.
He said to Li Shiyin, "Since we are both sword cultivators who have awakened Sword Qi and Sword Intent, we can find a harmonious way to compare our Sword Qi and Sword Intent, without having to fight."
Hearing this, Li Shiyin guessed what Lu Junxing had in mind and asked, "Senior brother, how do you want to compare?"
"By dividing wine," Lu Junxing took out a jug of wine and held it up, saying, "We will only use our Sword Qi and Sword Intent to divide this wine. Whoever gets more wins, less loses. What do you think?"
Dividing wine this way was a game Lu Junxing and Li Shiyin had already played at the recent sword meeting.
At that time, Lu Junxing talked about the four realms of Sword Qi, saying that his own Sword Qi was at the third realm, while Li Shiyin's was between the second and third realms. Then they competed by dividing wine with their Sword Qi.
Li Shiyin lost by a small margin.
In this period of time, Li Shiyin's Sword Qi realm had fully entered the third realm, and she had just awakened her Sword Intent. In this situation, Lu Junxing proposed dividing wine again.
Li Shiyin thought for a while and nodded, "Okay."
Seeing the coldly confident look on the face of the girl opposite, Lu Junxing felt quite emotional... She really was a sword cultivator.
He laughed loudly and threw the wine jug to the referee, "Please help us divide the wine, senior."
The referee caught the wine jug and couldn't help but laugh.
The special assessment method privately proposed by Li Shiyin and Lu Junxing was the best he could ask for.
With talents like them fighting all out, even if he was at the YuanYing stage, he might not be able to stop them in time and could easily get hurt. This literary battle was just perfect.
He tossed the wine jug, looked at Li Shiyin and Lu Junxing standing on opposite sides of the platform, and shouted loudly, "Ready..."
Hearing this, Li Shiyin inserted her Qingxing Sword, scabbard included, into the platform behind her and sat down cross-legged; Lu Junxing also sat down cross-legged with a smile.
"What are they doing?" Long Qiqi asked Qin Ran in confusion, "Aren't they going to fight? What's the meaning of this?"
"It looks like they're going to compete over their comprehension of Sword Qi and Sword Intent," Qin Ran said.
Long Qiqi suddenly realized something and got excited, asking, "Then doesn't Shiyin have a chance to win?"
Qin Ran shook his head, "I don't know the specifics of Lu Junxing's Sword Qi and Sword Intent."
He looked at Tian Wenjin, "Wenjin should know something about Sword Qi, Sword Intent and such."
Long Qiqi immediately asked Tian Wenjin, "Who will win?"
Although Tian Wenjin was quite fond of Li Shiyin, she still hesitated for a while before saying, "Senior brother Lu's Sword Qi is at the third realm, and his Sword Intent realm is very high... Shiyin, Shiyin has a chance."
Hearing this, Long Qiqi and Qin Ran knew that Shiyin would most likely lose. Long Qiqi sighed and punched Chasing the Wind's cat head.
Chasing the Wind asked in confusion, "Why did you hit me? Doesn't Shiyin have a chance?"
"My ass she has a chance..." Long Qiqi rolled her eyes.
On the platform, seeing both sides were ready, the referee raised the wine jug and said, "Begin!"
He then threw the wine jug into the air and launched an attack...
"Snap!"
The wine jug shattered, and the crisp wine splashed out.
At the very moment the wine jug broke, Lu Junxing and Li Shiyin both made their move at the same time:
In the air above the half of the Debate Platform where Lu Junxing was, a landscape of mountains and rivers suddenly appeared out of thin air. All the wine that fell on that half of the platform turned into the water of those mountains and rivers;
On Li Shiyin's side, her half of the platform darkened as if it was deep night, with stars lighting up one by one. All the wine that fell on her half turned into meteors streaking across the night sky.
On the platform, half was mountains and rivers, the other half a starry sky, each taking half of the wine, confronting each other.
"Evenly matched?" Seeing the situation on stage, Long Qiqi couldn't help standing up and shouting excitedly.
However, Tian Wenjin shook her head and said, "Right now they are competing with Sword Qi. Shiyin's Sword Qi realm has reached the third layer, not too far apart from Senior Brother Lu, barely achieving an even match. But next comes the Sword Intent competition..."
Hearing this, Long Qiqi slumped back onto Chasing the Wind in disappointment.
On stage, the landscape that had appeared out of thin air was constructed from Lu Junxing's Mountain and River Sword Qi; while on Li Shiyin's side, the starry sky was formed from her Star Sword Qi.
Mastering Sword Qi to such an extent was astonishing!
It made sense that he, after cultivating Sword Qi for so many years, had attained this level of mastery. But Li Shiyin had only been cultivating for a few years? Lu Junxing couldn't help sighing, "Junior sister really has an outstanding aptitude."
However, Li Shiyin knew her own affairs best. Her grasp of Sword Qi was actually not enough to construct such an intricate scene. She was able to pull it off because her Primordial Spirit was powerful enough; Lu Junxing relied solely on his mastery of Sword Qi.
"Next..." Lu Junxing smiled and said, "Let's see junior sister's Sword Intent."
At this point, each of them had half the wine...
As soon as he finished speaking, the mountains and rivers above his head began to move. In an instant, the mountains and rivers transformed from his Sword Qi seemed to come alive, each inch vivid, turning into individual people that charged towards Li Shiyin's starry sky wielding swords.
Seeing Lu Junxing make a move, Li Shiyin quickly closed her eyes to focus her mind and respond.
Then the starry sky on Li Shiyin's side also moved. The whole starry sky swayed as if transforming into an ethereal Star Goddess. The Star Goddess spread open her arms and embraced Li Shiyin, shielding her.
One was a Carefree Sword Intent, the other a Guardian Sword Intent, clashing on the Debate Platform.
In fact, Lu Junxing's Sword Intent was much stronger than Li Shiyin's, but Li Shiyin's was a Guardian Sword Intent. When she shrank back into a defensive posture, Lu Junxing found his Sword Intent unable to overcome hers for a time.
Not long after, Lu Junxing suddenly dismissed his Sword Intent, using his Sword Qi to wrap up the wine from before in front of him, saying, "Let's stop here!"
Feeling Lu Junxing suddenly withdraw, and hearing his words, Li Shiyin opened her eyes to look at him in confusion and asked, "It's over?"
Lu Junxing smiled and nodded.
Li Shiyin frowned at Lu Junxing for a while without saying anything else. She stood up, dismissed her Guardian Sword Intent, and gathered the wine she had snatched with her Star Sword Qi in front of her.
"Now what?" she asked.
Lu Junxing looked to the referee and said, "Please, senior."
The referee looked deeply at Lu Junxing and said, "Li Shiyin has more wine left."
Lu Junxing nodded. He opened his mouth wide, swallowing all the wine wrapped in his Sword Qi, belched, and smiled at Li Shiyin, "Junior sister, you won this round."
Having said that, he flew off the platform.
"Why?" Li Shiyin's voice chased after him.
But he didn't answer.
Below the stage, the Dao Sword Sect disciples were still dumbfounded...
The invincible Lu Junxing actually lost?!
