Chapter 11: Disciple!!! Disciple, here I come!!!

“Um…” Ning Yue asked uncertainly, “Will… will you kill me?”

“Mm?” The girl asked with a smile.

Ning Yue coughed: “I won’t be in any life-threatening danger, right?”

“Of course not!” The girl denied.

Ning Yue was about to breathe a sigh of relief when she heard the girl continue

“Every time before you die, the spatial energy here will give you a little extra breath, then quickly restore you to your initial physical state.”

Ning Yue: “…”

“How is it?” The girl said with a cheerful smile, “Isn’t it very humane?”

Ning Yue: “…”

Ning Yue turned around to run: “Help!!”

The next second

The girl, who had been behind her, was suddenly in front of her.

Since you’ve come to me…

Don’t blame me for stabbing you!

Ning Yue took a deep breath and swung her sword

Three seconds later Ning Yue “pfft” spat out a mouthful of blood.

The girl pulled back her hand, the sound of blade against flesh echoing as the long sword was withdrawn from Ning Yue’s abdomen.

Ning Yue fell to the ground: “I hate you!”

…

Ning Yue opened her eyes and touched her stomach.  She didn’t feel the terrifying wound, nor any pain.

The girl was carefully wiping her long sword nearby.

Ning Yue silently closed her eyes and opened her hand.

Planning to attack while she wasn’t paying attention

Feeling the coldness of the iron in her hand, Ning Yue opened one eye.

She silently got up and, with lightning speed, attacked the girl’s side.

The long sword pierced through, about to succeed!

But the girl’s figure suddenly disappeared.

Ning Yue widened her eyes

A cool hand landed on Ning Yue’s shoulder.

A faint female voice came: “Oh! You recovered so quickly?”

Ning Yue: “…”

It felt like a horror movie…

Ning Yue’s inner thoughts were abundant, but her movements didn’t slow!

She quickly turned around and stabbed.

The girl was surprised, but her voice remained calm.

“In all these years, you’re the first person to attack me immediately after recovering.”

“And your attack was good. Your reflexes are quick. You’re a good kid.”

Ning Yue didn’t find being called a “good kid” by someone who looked about her age a happy thing.

She frantically swung the unfamiliar long sword, each attack improving upon the last.

The girl surprisingly cooperated, dodging Ning Yue’s attacks.

With each dodged sword, her smile grew wider.

“Good kid, stab again”

Ning Yue couldn’t take it anymore and shouted: “Shut up! Old lady!”

The girl’s movements paused. She smiled at Ning Yue, then, as before, quickly disappeared.

Ning Yue knew this wasn’t a spell. The girl’s speed was enough to make it seem like she was teleporting or disappearing.

After the fight, Ning Yue became increasingly certain

Injuring even a piece of her clothing wouldn’t be easy.

Seeing that she couldn’t find the girl, Ning Yue said provocatively: “Being fast isn’t everything. Come out! Let’s have a proper sword fight!”

After saying this, she cautiously observed her surroundings, but the girl’s figure was too difficult to capture.

She could only occasionally catch a glimpse of a shadow from the corner of her eye.

But it would quickly disappear again.

Suddenly, Ning Yue’s eyes narrowed.

She saw the girl’s shadow!

Without wasting a second, she stabbed with her sword

“Pshh”

The sound of the sharp sword piercing flesh made one’s teeth ache.

Ning Yue widened her eyes in disbelief

How…

Three seconds later

Ning Yue collapsed!

Why did I get hit！！！！！！

…

Blue sky, white clouds, a small river flowing…

What a beautiful rural scenery!

If you ignore the girl who was squatting beside her, staring intently without blinking…

Ning Yue once again condensed a sword, saying wearily: “Do others have it as hard as me?”

The girl paused, propping her chin up: “Few who come here can even touch my clothes.  Most of them run out of time, and I let them go.”

The girl scoffed: “Otherwise, it would take them forever.”

“Really?” Ning Yue pushed herself up, looking at the girl intently.

“Yeah,” the girl’s voice sounded bored. She looked at Ning Yue, “You still haven’t recovered? Come on, let’s fight! You’re not very resilient!”

Ning Yue smiled slightly, “…As you wish.”

“Oh?” The girl raised an eyebrow, “…Getting serious?”

“Good,” she raised her hand, and a long sword appeared from the void, “Come on!”

Ning Yue stubbornly persevered for five minutes.

“Again!”

This time, Ning Yue persevered for ten minutes.

“Again!”

Ning Yue persevered for fifteen minutes.

“Stop, stop, stop!”

Ning Yue gestured to stop.

The girl, unaware of what was happening, quickly stopped her sword, which was about to pierce Ning Yue.

“…What’s wrong?”

A hopeful light shone in Ning Yue’s eyes as she pinched something between two fingers and held it out to the girl.

“What is it?” The girl looked at her questioningly.

“Look closely do you see a piece of white thread?”

The girl squinted and leaned closer to Ning Yue’s fingers.

Against the sunlight, the thread, less than two centimeters long, wasn’t very noticeable. She looked for a long time before she found it.

“Mm, I see it. What’s wrong? Is this your new weapon to hit me?”

“Not exactly…” Ning Yue shook her head and whispered, “It’s actually a thread from your shoe.”

The girl: “…”

She was stunned for a moment before looking down at her shoe.

She saw some residual sword energy on it.

She took a deep breath, struggling to speak.

Ning Yue said cheerfully: “You said, if I touch your clothes, I pass. You won’t go back on your word, right?”

The girl gritted her teeth: “…Of course not!”

She had been careless, but who would really pay attention to such a small thread!

Besides, everyone who came here for the trial was serious, aiming for her clothes.

Who would have thought that Ning Yue, who didn’t play by the rules, would aim for a thread on her shoe!

The girl looked up at the sky speechlessly.

Forget it, let’s just say she was outmatched. Next time, she’d have to protect the threads too!

She raised her hand, and a door appeared in the void.

Ning Yue obediently walked over and politely waved to the girl: “Goodbye?”

The girl said coldly: “Wait!”

Ning Yue stopped: “What else?”

“Your swordsmanship is decent. How long have you been practicing?”

Ning Yue closed her eyes and thought for a moment, asking her: “How long have I been in this space?”

The girl crossed her arms: “Less than two hours. You’re fast!”

Ning Yue stroked her chin: “Then I’ve only been handling a sword for less than two hours.”

The girl: “…!”

She looked incredulous: “How much did you say!?”

“Less than two hours.” Ning Yue turned and smiled, extending a hand to open the door, “See you never, old lady.”

A flash of light appeared.

Ning Yue looked at the familiar scene.

Finally out!

Thinking of the girl’s shocked expression, Ning Yue couldn’t help but laugh.

I let you stab me so many times! Now you know how powerful I am!

But that girl was indeed strong. Touching her clothes would still take some effort.

But who could compare to someone who had practiced swordsmanship for hundreds of years when I’ve only been handling a sword for less than two hours!

I had to use a little trick.

After all, the thread is also part of the clothing!

She walked out lightly.

“My disciplemy disciple! My disciple! I’m here!!!”
