"Is this your swordsmanship? That's all you got."
Yan Bingyue casually put her sword back into the sheath.
Yan Bingyue darted a glance at Qin Shaotian, waiting for his answer. She wouldn't mind killing him if he didn't give up!
"I …"
Qin Shaotian's eyes were a little sluggish and a little dazed.
He could feel the coldness on his neck. He knew … he had lost.
If Yan Bingyue hadn't shown him mercy …
Or, if it weren't for the fact that he was the future family head of the Qin Family, Yan Bingyue would have killed him!
Although he had only used one secret skill, he still had other secret skills that he had yet to use.
But it didn't work.
He had lost.
There was no battle where both parties had to use all their trump cards to judge who was stronger.
Fighting wasn't about turning the tables.
In the blink of an eye, he had chosen to use that secret skill first. However, he had misjudged his opponent's strength. He had been killed by her in one move. That was his loss.
Eyesight, judgment, improvised thoughts, and even one's own strength. When all of this was put together, it was a battle!
"I have lost …"
Qin Shaotian lowered his head and said in a low voice.
He had lost when it came to swordsmanship.
He had lost to a girl who was younger than him and at the same rank as him.
Regret, pain, sadness, and desperation.
In an instant, he felt as if all his hopes had been dashed to pieces, as if his heart had died.
Yan Bingyue kept a straight face after hearing Qin Shaotian's words. She told her battle pets to stop right away.
…
In front of them, the Lava Wing Tyrannosaurus, who was trapped in the crystal cage, looked up in a daze. When it saw its master's lonely and gloomy figure, its huge eye sockets almost split open.
The Lava Dragon had never felt this sad before. It raised its head and bellowed in grief and indignation!
In the distance, the Bloody Servant also paused for a moment, but then it let out a crazy roar. Suddenly, a thick dark fog spread out from its body. It forced the Shura Demonic Snake and the Crystal Ocean Beast away and rushed to its master.
The Bloody Servant covered hundreds of meters in an instant.
The giant shadow of the Bloody Servant stood in front of Qin Shaotian.
It lowered its head and stared at Qin Shaotian with its hideous, bloody eyes. Qin Shaotian's figure was reflected in its bloodshot eyes.
Suddenly, a look of extreme pain appeared in its eyes.
"Crack, crack …"
Its throat moved as if it wanted to say something, but nothing came out.
It raised its sharp arm as if it wanted to stroke Qin Shaotian and comfort him, but it seemed to be afraid of hurting him. Just as it was about to touch his head, it paused and then slowly retracted its arm.
Roar!!
It raised its head to the sky and let out a twisted and ferocious howl.
Yan Bingyue, who was standing behind Qin Shaotian, heard the deafening roar. She didn't know what Qin Shaotian was trying to do. Either way, she was too far away from her battle pets. She would be in grave danger if the Bloody Servant were to attack her.
Her silhouette flickered and vanished, leaving Qin Shaotian's side.
After the Bloody Servant roared, it stared at Yan Bingyue with its blood-red eyes. It looked like it was about to lose control.
But in the end, the Bloody Servant only stared at Yan Bingyue without doing anything.
This made the judge, who was standing above the seal, feel slightly relieved. If the Bloody Servant had lost control, it would have been very difficult for him to deal with it.
…
Outside the stage, at the titled battle pet warriors' seats.
Both Qin Duhuang and Qin Shuhai were speechless. Qin Duhuang kept a straight face while Qin Shuhai had mixed feelings. They knew Qin Shaotian very well. He had been obsessed with swords since he was a kid. He would even sleep with his sword in his arms.
But at the moment, the Bloody Servant had been defeated by a swordsman of the same rank.
That was like the sky falling down on them!
"Shaotian …"
Qin Shuhai heaved a sigh. There would always be someone better than you. Apart from her horrifying swordsmanship, the most horrifying thing about her was her physical strength. She was not an average sixth-rank battle pet warrior.
Her physical strength alone meant that she was at the seventh-rank.
After all, she was trained in that place. She could not be judged by common sense.
The patriarchs of the other families also looked at this scene with faces full of shock. They did not even have the time to mock the Qin Family.
She was too strong.
Yan Bingyue was too strong!
She was able to break through the protection of the two dragons and the Guardian of Nature on her own. She was able to reach Qin Shaotian directly.
This Qin Shaotian was not a small character. In the previous top 100 battles, he had displayed extraordinary fighting ability. But in the end, in front of this young girl, he was killed in an instant!
If it weren't for the fact that Yan Bingyue showed mercy, Qin Shaotian would have died!
Was he too weak?
Of course not!
Whether it was the Ye Family, the Mu Family, or the other families, none of them dared to say that they had absolute confidence that their Young Masters could defeat Qin Shaotian.
It was not that Qin Shaotian was weak. It was that the girl was too strong. She was not at the same level as them!
More importantly, the girl had only used three battle pets so far. Who would believe that someone from that place would only have three battle pets?
…
The judge heaved a sigh as he looked at the ashen-faced Qin Shaotian. After all, Qin Shaotian was from the Longjiang Base City. The judge didn't want to see him being defeated by an outsider. However, that was the reality. The girl was too strong.
"Do you admit defeat?" The judge flew down and asked for confirmation.
Qin Shaotian trembled. In the end, he didn't raise his head. "Yes, I do!"
The judge nodded and said in a low voice, "This is nothing. You are the future family head of the Qin Family. Don't be discouraged."
The judge spoke quickly. After all, he was a neutral party and was unwilling to side with any family. With that said, the judge flew up and announced the result of the match.
Qin Shaotian trembled after hearing the judge's words. In the end, he didn't raise his head. He slowly turned around and summoned his battle pets back.
…
As the judge announced the result, the audience fell into silence.
No one had expected that Qin Shaotian would lose, and so quickly!
Qin Shaotian's battle pets hadn't even started to fight yet, but the girl had already disarmed Qin Shaotian!
Apart from the dragon and the Bloody Servant, Qin Shaotian's physical strength had been the most talked about. However, he had been defeated by someone of the same rank!
For a moment, many people were at a loss. They couldn't tell if Qin Shaotian was too weak or the girl was too strong.
…
"That's it?"
In the top five seats, Xu Kuang was stunned.
Su Lingyue was surprised as well. She didn't expect that Qin Shaotian, whom she had once fought, would lose.
Ye Longtian and Mu Yuanshou were pulling long faces.
They didn't like Qin Shaotian, but they had to admit that he was strong. However, Yan Bingyue's performance was monstrous. She was able to compete with the Bloody Servant with her physical strength. In the end, she sneaked up to Qin Shaotian and killed him in one move!
Such a person was too terrifying.
…
"What a strong physical skill!"
Fei Yanbo stared at the match in astonishment.
As a teacher, he knew more than the average audience. Apart from being good at swordsmanship, the girl must have been practicing some lost physical skills. She was as strong as a beast.
The device was used to test the astral power rank, but it was hard to tell the physical strength rank. The only way to do that was by going through a series of professional tests.
However, such tests had been abandoned with the decline of physical training.
He didn't know that physical training still existed in the outside world, and it was so horrifying!
Mentor Luo and Mentor Lin were also very surprised. Their expressions were also very complicated. It was true that each new generation excels the previous one. They felt that this sixth-rank girl was even stronger than them. If they encountered her, they were not confident that they could win. It was true that comparisons were odious. Mortals could not be compared to monsters.
"Physical skills?"
Su Ping's curiosity was piqued.
This girl's skills were indeed not bad.
So far, he was the best fighter he had ever seen.
"Why were physical skills lost?" Su Ping turned around and asked.
As far as he knew, the Celestial Gods and True Gods in the Demigod Burial were all skilled fighters. They would never just summon their battle pets and order them to fight.
"I don't know the specific reason. I heard that they were defeated by rich people …" Fei Yanbo said.
Su Ping was surprised. How could this have anything to do with the rich?
Fei Yanbo seemed to have read Su Ping's mind. He forced a bitter smile. "Actually, that makes sense. Think about it. No matter how strong your physical skills are, you are not as good as your battle pets. Of course, Yan Bingyue doesn't count. I'm talking about normal people who practice physical skills.
"Physical skills are difficult to cultivate. It's better to spend money and buy a good battle pet.
"Rich people can buy a good battle pet to make up for the lack of physical skills that ordinary people have to work hard on. Instead of spending time on physical skills, they might as well make some money or cultivate their astral powers. That way, when they get a stronger battle pet, they can establish a contract with it right away."
Su Ping was speechless. So, bad money drives out good money?
He found this statement to be a bit of a joke, a bit one-sided.
That being said, he had a general idea of the reason. It was costly to train people who practiced physical skills!
On the Blue Star, wild beasts were everywhere. Humans had to constantly train battle pet warriors to guard the borders and base cities. They didn't have enough resources to train people who practiced physical skills as a whole.
From the True Gods in the Demigod Burial, Su Ping had learned that physical skills took a long time to take shape. Physical skills required hard work and top-grade medicines to refine one's body. All of these were much more difficult than training a battle pet warrior.
"Speaking of which, I guess I'm half a physical skill user."
Su Ping thought about his own situation.
He had never practiced physical skills seriously. His combat skills had been honed on the edge of life and death.
That being said, he had consulted some True Gods and Celestial Gods in the Demigod Burial and had learned how to use some weapons.
He could play with swords and sabers.
That being said, what he focused on most at the moment was the Fist of Exorcist that he had picked up from the system. That could be counted as a secret physical skill.
It was a secret physical skill from the Mythical Era.
…
On the stage.
Qin Shaotian and Yan Bingyue left the stage after Qin Shaotian's defeat.
Qin Shaotian went back to his seat and kept his head down. No one could tell what he was thinking. He kept stroking the scabbard in his hand.
The others couldn't tell what was on his mind but they could tell that he had suffered a heavy blow.
To be defeated in the area that he was most proud of, the area that he was best at, and the area that he liked the most was not something that anyone could bear.
On the other hand, Yan Bingyue didn't seem to care much about her defeat. She looked calm as if she hadn't used too much strength. After she sat down, she said to Qin Duhuang, "Forgive me."
She sounded like she was mocking Qin Duhuang.
Qin Duhuang pulled a long face. He frowned when he saw that the girl didn't seem to be proud of herself. All of a sudden, he remembered that people from that place had been cultivating since they were little. They were inflexible in the ways of the world and had low emotional intelligence. He didn't want to talk to her anymore.
