With his high-level manifestation, Xuan Yuansheng had extremely enhanced dynamic vision.

It was precisely because of his strong dynamic vision that he was so astonished.

Because Yuan Hanshuang’s previous move was very ordinary, just holding the sword and taking a few steps forward, then a strong wind blew, and the sword appeared at his neck!

It was as if resonance had been activated in advance, without any intermediate process!

It was only at this moment that Xuan Yuansheng finally realized that the girl facing him, with physical strength that was on par with his own, was also a skilled swordsman.

“What’s the name of this move?”

Yuan Hanshuang shrugged, “Dragon Rises.”

This was the only move she was somewhat skilled in, with a very simple and brutal technique. It was specifically designed for killing. She had managed to stop the sword just in time, relying on retracting the light sword at the last moment and using the hilt to strike, otherwise it would have been difficult to end the fight.

“Great move! It must have been inherited from some ancient martial art sect. The technique is fierce, powerful, and merciless.”

Xuan Yuansheng didn’t have time to check the faint pain in his chest. He raised his iconic thumbs up and praised loudly, “Truly my admired classmate! It was my mistake, I underestimated you before.”

He released his light sword again, his brows and eyes full of confidence. “In order to earn your recognition, from now on, I will also take it seriously!”

Yuan Hanshuang: . Look at this confident little appearance.

Understood, it seems that I didn’t hit hard enough just now.

Clearly, Xuan Yuansheng had been beaten badly, but he looked very happy.

He knew in his heart that he had indeed been careless and not serious just now.

But this cannot be denied.

The excellence of that sword just now.

When he initially chose Silver Star, he never imagined that it would be a place where hidden dragons and crouching tigers reside.

“Shall we go again?”

Xuan Yuansheng’s deep green eyes stared at the black-haired girl with twin ponytails in front of him, filled with a mixture of eagerness and combativeness, like encountering a formidable opponent.

“Sure.” Yuan Hanshuang nodded.

It had been a long time since she last practiced swordsmanship. Compared to her usual Tang Sword, the light sword felt too light.

Rarely did she find a training partner who was a complete novice like her. Why not make the most of it?

“Xuan Yuansheng, S-Rank, with the manifestation of a Golden Lion. It’s a pleasure to meet you.”

For various reasons, Xuan Yuansheng rarely introduced himself so formally, let alone publicly revealing his manifestation’s full name in a public setting.

Yet, this introduction signified that he genuinely regarded Yuan Hanshuang as a worthy opponent and extended a hand of friendship.

“Yuan Hanshuang, A-Rank, with the manifestation of a Koi.”

Their hands clasped, and their fighting spirit surged.

“This girl truly hides her true abilities.” Instructor Ma said with emotion after watching the entire process.

“Yes, both of them have received training in cold weapons from the system. It seems like we have been overly concerned.” Instructor Niu shook his head and laughed. “But to have such swordsmanship at the age of seventeen or eighteen is not easy.”

“What was that move just now? Dragon Rises? It makes me want to try it too.”

“Hahaha, that move looks extraordinary. I wonder who her mentor is.”

Their duel attracted many other Silver Star classmates who were training, and they occasionally exclaimed in surprise.

The two of them had completely different habits and ways of attacking with their light swords.

Yuan Hanshuang inherited the ancient martial arts style, exuding a free and easy demeanor with her sword. On the other hand, Xuan Yuansheng pursued elegance and grandeur in his swordsmanship, sometimes twirling his sword in a flower-like manner, other times performing a cross slash, to the point of being flashy and causing veins to pop on people’s foreheads.

What was even more annoying was that while fighting, Xuan Yuansheng also engaged in non-stop chatter.

“Be careful, I’m going to attack from the left!”

“Hey, this move is called the Armstrong Gyro Acceleration Jet Armstrong Cannon!”

“Well done! This move is cool!”

One had to admit that Xuan Yuansheng’s ten years of hard training had paid off. The two of them fought back and forth, creating a visually captivating effect where neither side seemed to gain the upper hand.

Unfortunately, Yuan Hanshuang, with her extensive combat experience, easily outmatched Xuan Yuansheng and found numerous openings in his defense.

She was not polite either and swung her light sword handle right at her “brother’s” face, paying special attention to it.

“Such sharp combat instincts. An A-Rank actually has the upper hand against an S-Rank. I’ve never seen this before.”

The intense exchange made the coaching staff cringe.

“It’s not that simple. After all, they’re not in a resonance state, so they can’t fully utilize the advantages of their manifestation level. If they were to fight in a resonance state, the outcome would be different.”

“What you said makes sense. The manifestation  level is so crucial; sigh.”

After more than a dozen rounds, the winner was decided.

Xuan Yuansheng, with sweaty golden hair and a face full of sword marks, came over to shake hands with Yuan Hanshuang.

“That was impressive.” Despite being beaten badly, Xuan Yuansheng sincerely said, “This standard issue light sword doesn’t suit you well; it limits your abilities.”

He won, but he was the one who got beaten in the fight.

Several times, he “accidentally” hit himself in the face with the sword handle, Xuan Yuansheng Yuan could hardly resist and couldn’t help but doubt whether his new friend had any opinions about his handsome face.

Of course, these were just thoughts.

Yuansheng Yuan would never suspect his friend!

Yuan Hanshuang: “You are truly skilled in swordsmanship.”

She was equally satisfied with this battle.

The outcome didn’t matter; the main thing was that she had enjoyed beating people up.

Seeing that kind smile, Yuansheng Yuan felt a slight pain in his front teeth.

“Similar, but not quite.”

Not far away, Feng Yuanming stood with his hands behind his back.

His gaze lingered on Yuan Hanshuang for a long time before he asked in a low voice, “How confident are you?”

“Not even fifty percent.”

Feng Bai shook his head. “Putting aside the fact that five years have passed and personal files have been sealed at the highest level, I only caught a glimpse of her outside the fleet commander’s office back then, and I just happened to overhear.”

“To be precise, I may only have thirty percent confidence.”

Thirty percent. The two fell silent once again.

Under the shade of the trees, the long-lost cicadas started chirping again.

They both knew that when it came to that person, no matter how low the chances were, it was worth taking the risk.
