She pushed her Body Technique to the extreme, weaving through the violent knife light of Fang Qingyu like a lone boat amid stormy waves, facing danger at every turn.
Each block left her arm numb.
Each dodge was a narrow escape.
Fang Qingyu's knife, not only terrifying in Power, contained a Star Force Field that shadowed her every move, continuously suppressing her Speed and perception, rendering her proud speed advantage non-existent, leaving her to rely on her battle-hardened instincts to hold on.
The audience was utterly silent, everyone watching in awe, not daring to breathe.
Just as Wei Banmeng was forced to retreat again by the relentless knife light, with her old strength gone and new strength yet to form, she showed a barely noticeable momentary stiffness.
Fang Qingyu's eyes flashed with starlight!
"Returning to Silence!"
The Dragon Sparrow Calamity Slash emitted an excited low hum all of a sudden!
The dazzling star radiance flowing on the blade instantly collapsed, retracted, and concentrated at the tip, transforming into an extremely condensed dark gold thread, seemingly capable of slicing through space!
There was no earth-shattering momentum, just a subtle sound of air being cut!
The knife light, fast!
So fast it surpassed visual capture, so fast that it left no afterimage!
It seemed as if Fang Qingyu's arm made the slightest forward motion.
Then, everything froze.
In the field, Fang Qingyu maintained the posture of his strike, the Dragon Sparrow Calamity Slash angled forward, the blade tip only three inches from Wei Banmeng's throat.
Wei Banmeng's movements were completely still, her cold eyes clearly reflecting the blade tip just inches away, and the dark golden edge yet to dissipate, stirring one's heart.
Her arms, holding the blade, were slightly raised, yet froze mid-air, unable to advance any further.
Time seemed to freeze for a few seconds.
The onlookers were silent, most faces filled with bewilderment.
They only saw Fang Qingyu seemingly swing his knife, and then both of them stopped.
Who won? What happened?
Until a slightly hoarse yet powerful voice sounded in the corner, filled with undisguised admiration:
"Good knife! Star radiance condensed, controlled at will, where intention goes the knife follows… Young Fang, this strike, a slight victory."
The crowd looked where the voice came from, only to see that at some point, Chen Wenshan the Grandmaster had arrived at the edge of the training ground, stroking his beard, his eyes shining, having clearly taken in the sparring just now.
His use of "a slight victory" was undoubtedly the final verdict.
Wow——!
The crowd erupted instantly!
Suffice to say, Fang Qingyu was one of their own, no one wanted to see their hero lose at the doorstep.
Moreover, the combat prowess just displayed, the people present… just by slightly comparing it to themselves.
Clearly knew who was strong and who was weak.
Wei Banmeng slowly lowered her arms, her cold face showing no overt emotion.
Only in the depths of her eyes wavered a complex light, with shock, gravity, and a hint of relief in meeting an equal match.
She nodded slightly to Fang Qingyu: "Impressive."
Fang Qingyu sheathed the knife, the star radiance on the blade fading instantly, and nodded in return to Wei Banmeng: "Thank you for letting me win."
Both were very much in sync, not having used the Qi Blood Technique in the sparring just now.
Whether it was the Star Force Field or star radiance released by Fang Qingyu, or the dark purple blade light of Wei Banmeng, all were only enhanced by the Observation Method.
If both were to enhance with it...
The commotion might be a bit too much.
Fang Qingyu had no haughtiness of a winner, nor any false modesty of empathizing.
Both seemed as calm as if they had just completed a regular training session.
Wei Banmeng said no more, turned to the edge of the field, took out a latest model folding screen phone, operated it for a moment, then walked straight to Fang Qingyu.
"WeChat."
Fang Qingyu got the hint and took out his phone as well.
"The list, I'll send it to you tomorrow." Wei Banmeng's voice remained cool, and after speaking, she turned without hesitation, her black hair flying, her figure soon disappearing into the passage leading to the elevator.
Fang Qingyu looked at the new contact "Wei Banmeng" added to his communicator, put away the device, and walked toward Jiang Wei and the team waiting on the sidelines.
"Qingzi! Awesome!" Qin Hui excitedly punched him on the shoulder.
"That strike... was too fast! I didn't even see it clearly!" Qi Hao looked on with adoration.
Old Qiao and Lv Chen were also all smiles, proud to share in the glory.
Jiang Wei jumped down from the long bench, walked to Fang Qingyu's side, her face still calm, only offering half-eaten lollipop: "Want some?"
Fang Qingyu looked at the reward, his mouth twitched: "...No, thanks."
The sparring concluded.
The crowd quickly dispersed.
The entire Divine Management Bureau, aside from on-duty personnel, was enjoying a rare moment of leisure.
Duan Ling, apart from finding Fang Qingyu once in the morning, vanished again.
According to Qu Zhe.
She started to follow Director Wu Yu closely, aggressively recruiting people.
The targets were those in the special training class.
The last special training class went through a deadly crisis.
Thus, during this large-scale Life Ghost fluctuation and the Insect Nest's full attack, they did not participate.
Now that the crisis is over.
All major departments and teams have suffered significant personnel loss.
The people in the special training class... naturally became much sought after.
And Fang Qingyu finally managed to steal half a day's leisure, sitting in the lounge area playing games, chatting.
Time slowly approached evening.
The banquet for the squad ended.
"Are you going too?" Fang Qingyu asked Jiang Wei.
This time, going to the place the invisible person mentioned, he just wanted to see if he could meet a fated person from Creation Technology.
He might end up waiting all night.
But Jiang Wei nodded without hesitation.
"Yes, going."
