The sun was shining brightly. Chu Li had just returned to the small house in the Spirit Medicine Nursery when Du Ying came over to inform him that there were more people from the Virgin Palace who wanted to spar with him.
Du Ying led the way while Chu Li walked behind her.
The two of them were silent and did not say a word.
Chu Li coughed to break the silence. "Senior Sister Du, how many people are there?"
Du Ying sighed in relief and answered, "Two."
"Only two?" Chu Li's voice was filled with disappointment.
Du Ying answered, "It's Master's Junior Uncle to Lady Mei and the others."
Chu Li nodded in satisfaction.
Although age and martial arts were not necessarily related, in most cases, the older one's cultivation level would be higher. The previous generation of disciples from the Virgin Palace were definitely not mediocre.
After that, the awkward atmosphere between the two was broken. Chu Li casually asked for some information.
"Is Li Xinghe around?"
"He just arrived. He seemed to be in a hurry and didn't look too good. He wants to see you, Junior Brother."
"He wants to see me?" Chu Li raised his eyebrows. Li Xinghe was smart and must have suspected Chu Li. Unfortunately, Chu Li had set up a cover and purposely got injured.
Both of them fluttered and arrived outside the Divine Light Basilica in the time it took to exchange a few words. Du Ying led him into the basilica.
Other than Sun Mingyue, the four ladies, and Li Xinghe who were sitting behind the table, there were also two beautiful women who sat quietly and elegantly in the armchairs. Every frown and smile of theirs exuded a charming charm.
One of them had an oval face that was as delicate as snow. Her faint smile made her look gentle and amiable.
The other woman had an oval face with almond-shaped eyes and peach cheeks. However, she looked indifferent and did not like to talk.
"Saint." Chu Li gave a fist salute.
Sun Mingyue waved her hand. "These two are Xia Rou and Xia Xiao from the Virgin Palace. Senior Xia, this is our Priest, Zhao Dahe."
Chu Li gave a fist salute to the two beautiful women. "Zhao Dahe greets the two seniors."
"You flatter me." The two women glanced at him and the gentle woman chuckled. "I heard that you defeated Mei Chun and the others, Priest Zhao?"
Chu Li nodded with a smile. "I won by a stroke and a half."
"To be able to defeat Meichun and the others, you're indeed a Priest of the Holy Church." The gentle woman nodded. "The Holy Church of Light really has many hidden talents!"
"You flatter me, Senior Xia Rou," Sun Mingyue replied.
Xia Rou said, "Both Guardian Kings are so young, this is a sign of prosperity, how can we not celebrate?"
Xia Rou smiled and shook her head.
Xia Rou said, "How about this, I'll exchange a few moves with Zhao Fawang and experience the Great Light Sword Technique!"
Mei Chun shook too. "Junior Xia Rou of Xia Rou."
Mei Chun also shook her head. "Martial Uncle, let's listen to the Saintess."
"Chun's Xia Mingyue.
Xia Rou Xia Xia She laughed.
Xia Rou burst into laughter. "Are you saying that I'm not his opponent?"
"Yes." Mei Chun nodded helplessly.
Xia Rou giggled like a silver bell floating in the air, pleasing to the ear and soul-stirring.
Xia Xiao, who had been wearing a cold expression, shook her head and said, "Little Chun, you know what you're talking about!"
Mei Chun sighed softly and remained silent. She knew that it was useless to say anything more.
They had fought with Chu Li before and had also received pointers from the two Master's Uncles. Hence, they knew the ins and outs of both of them. In terms of the subtlety of their swordsmanship, the two Master's Uncles were no match for Zhao Dahe. Even if the two of them fought together, they might not be able to defeat him.
Xia Rou smiled tenderly and said, "This time, I really want to experience it. To be able to convince Little Chun so wholeheartedly, it must be a peerlessly exquisite sword art. My hands are itching, come on!"
Li Xinghe said, "Senior Xia, please wait!"
He had already changed into a set of blue robes, which made him look fresh and refreshing. The wound on his left arm was hidden by the loose robes, so no one could see it.
Xia Rou glared at him.
Li Xinghe smiled. "Based on what I know, Brother Zhao is injured."
"Oh?" Xia Rou looked at Chu Li in surprise. She sized him up and smiled. "I couldn't tell."
Chu Li said, "Thank you for your concern, Young Master Li. I've been channeling to heal myself. I'm fully recovered now."
Li Xinghe smiled. "Brother Zhao, don't force yourself. It'll be disrespectful to Senior Xia if you fight with your injury!"
Xia Rou nodded. "You don't have to."
Chu Li grinned. "Young Master Li, why don't you come and take a look?"
"Sure." Li Xinghe approached him without hesitation and reached for Chu Li's wrist.
Chu Li activated the Divine Light Technique. His inner energy surged like a river as he clenched his wrist into a fist.
Li Xinghe changed his fingers into a palm and activated the Minor Star Palm Energy.
"Bang!" Their clothes fluttered as if a strong gust of wind was blowing.
A domineering inner energy entered his wrist and surged into his meridians. The Minor Star Palm Energy resisted with all its might. The inner energy was endless as if it was endless.
Chu Li put his fist and palm together and stood still. Only his clothes were fluttering in the wind. He had already started to compete with his inner energy.
The domineering inner energy slowly pushed forward inch by inch. It was slow but determined and unstoppable. It slowly moved from his wrist to his elbow, then to his shoulder and was about to reach his organs.
Chu Li suddenly loosened his fist and took a step back. He asked with a faint smile, "Young Master Li, am I injured?"
Li Xinghe sighed in relief. He would have been injured if he was any slower.
He smiled. "You're fully recovered. It seems like it was just a small injury."
Chu Li shook his head. "I'm flattered that Young Master Li is so concerned about me!"
He looked at Xia Rou. "Senior Xia, please —!"
"Watch my sword." The long sword at Xia Rou's waist turned into a stream of light as she became one with her sword. Before the white shadow in the air disappeared, the tip of her sword had already pierced Chu Li's chest.
A brilliant light rose from Chu Li's waist. It was as dazzling as a blazing sun. It was so bright that one could not open their eyes.
"Ding ding ding ding." The crowd heard several clear sounds before the blazing sun disappeared. Everyone was blinded for a moment. When they opened their eyes again, Chu Li had already taken a step back and sheathed his long sword. Xia Rou's sword was sheathed too.
"What a Divine Light Sword Technique!" Xia Rou stared at Chu Li and scoffed. "You held back, didn't you?"
Chu Li smiled. "Senior Xia's swordsmanship is outstanding. How would I dare to hold back?"
"Hmph, cunning!" Xia Rou rolled her eyes at him and scoffed. "A win is a win, a loss is a loss. It's true that your swordsmanship is outstanding. I can't compare."
Chu Li smiled and shook his head.
Xia Xiao frowned at him. "Divine Light Sword Technique?"
She looked at Sun Mingyue. "Is your Divine Light Sword Technique that powerful?"
Sun Mingyue replied, "I'm not an expert in swordsmanship, but the Divine Light Sword Technique is indeed powerful. It's not inferior to the Divine Light Fist."
"I've really underestimated the Holy Church of Light." Xia Xiao shook her head.
Sun Mingyue said calmly, "However, the Divine Light Sword Technique is difficult to cultivate. Very few people practice it. Zhao Fawang is a genius."
"Such a genius is rare. Unfortunately, we're the Virgin Palace. We don't accept male disciples. Otherwise, we'd really want to recruit Zhao Fawang." Xia Rou smiled sweetly. "However, we can't defend against the Church of the Divine Blood's revenge. How many disciples over a hundred years old do you have?"
"Fifty-two," Sun Mingyue replied.
