"I'm sorry, your saber technique is too fierce, I couldn't hold back for a moment and struck too heavily."

Ling Feng expressed with deep regret.

From a close distance, he could see the image of Qiu Kui lying on the ground crying most clearly.

Qiu Kui continued to lie there without saying a word.

"It's getting late, I'll leave now."

Ling Feng didn't know how to comfort the other party and felt this interaction was quite awkward, so he returned the long spear to the other party and quickly left the scene.

"Girl."

After he left, Wang Dashan appeared.

Qiu Kui finally lifted her head, enduring the severe pain, she rubbed her stomach and sat on a stone pillar by the riverbank.

As someone who has participated in battles on the front lines, Qiu Kui has experienced life and death, her heart is not fragile, but the saber technique she took pride in, was defeated twice in a row by the same person, and the other party was just a Martial Dao student in his third year of high school. The most fatal thing was that this person didn't even cultivate seriously, while she carried the expectations of her sect and was filled with confidence, only to be dealt a devastating blow that completely broke her defense.

"Victory and defeat are common in battles, don't take it too much to heart."

Wang Dashan comforted.

"I'm fine, Principal Wang, you don't need to worry about me."

Qiu Kui wiped away her tears and said.

"As long as you're okay. Don't overthink it, Ling Feng might have good talent, but his attitude towards cultivation is lax, someone like him will be surpassed by you sooner or later."

Wang Dashan nodded his head.

"If a lax attitude towards cultivation can repeatedly defeat me, if he suddenly starts taking cultivation seriously, wouldn't even my master be unable to match him, is that what you're trying to say!"

Qiu Kui exclaimed excitedly.

She knew that Wang Dashan and Marquis Zhuge were in league.

"That's not what I meant, I'm trying to say that no matter how great one's talent is, without hard cultivation, such a person won't achieve anything in the end."

Wang Dashan explained.

"He's about to graduate high school, and his combat power is nearly at the Flesh Realm, moreover he isn't affected by my Sword Qi, what can't he achieve?"

Qiu Kui questioned.

"I...I just wanted to comfort you a bit."

Wang Dashan was bewildered.

"I don't need it, your way of comforting just makes me realize even more that I'm a useless person."

Qiu Kui stormed off.

"Was it actually my fault all along?"

Wang Dashan was left annoyed.

But recalling the scene where Ling Feng defeated Qiu Kui earlier, he couldn't help but smile, sighing, "Truly worthy of being my Ninth Middle School student. Not only did he get first in the finals, but even a Martial Dao student from Starry Sky University couldn't match him. It looks like there's hope for him to represent South City and compete alongside Jiangbei Province's Martial Dao students."

...

"Bang!"

Qiu Kui ran all the way back to Lin Qiying's courtyard.

Lin Qiying and Lin Chengfeng were both waiting for her good news.

Compared to last time, this time Qiu Kui went in and knelt, buried her head on the ground, unable to control herself and cried again.

"Junior Sister, defeating Ling Feng is worth celebrating, but you don't need to be this excited."

Lin Chengfeng said with a smile.

"No, I lost."

Qiu Kui said without lifting her head.

"Uh..."

Lin Chengfeng's expression froze.

Lin Qiying was also stunned.

"Ling Feng is not affected by my Sword Qi, moreover his combat power has increased significantly, he is now within the range of a Flesh Martial Artist."

Qiu Kui explained.

"Impossible."

Lin Chengfeng didn't believe it, he paced around, saying, "These past few days, I've been having people watch him, aside from fishing he just plays games and dances square dances. For someone who usually doesn't cultivate much, how could his strength have changed so much? Could it be he's consuming Divine Elixirs and being served by a Pharmacist daily?"

"Master, I don't believe that without cultivation, Ling Feng can defeat Junior Sister consecutively just by talent alone, there must be something wrong."

Lin Chengfeng was very excited.

"There's definitely a problem, it's just unclear where the problem lies."

Lin Qiying was also in doubt.

"Let me go meet him."

Lin Chengfeng volunteered to fight.

"Nonsense."

Lin Qiying decisively stopped him, "The younger has lost, now the elder wants to go, what do you take Ling Feng and your master for? This matter was originally a simple bout meant for Ling Feng to mend his ways, not to make it bigger, especially since your combat power is much higher than his, and your physical fitness is close to 27.0. To teach Ling Feng a lesson now, where does that leave my face?"

"Disciple admits his mistakes, disciple just can't swallow this, feels like Junior Sister has been deceived, I refuse to believe someone as exceptional as Junior Sister would be inferior to a Martial Dao student who doesn't cultivate much in high school, if there's no conspiracy here, I would die believing otherwise."

Lin Chengfeng said in frustration.

"The power of the Lone Wolf Saber Technique lies in the Seven Forms of Saber Technique, progressing layer by layer, it doubles and strengthens the killing intent as the saber technique unfolds. The only possibility that Ling Feng is unaffected by your saber technique is that the Saber Wind you've tempered isn't strong enough."

Lin Qiying addressed Qiu Kui.

"Master, do I still have hope?"

Qiu Kui asked.

"Of course, you have participated in dozens of battles on the frontline, experienced life-and-death trials, your will cannot be weaker than Ling Feng's, as long as you can regain confidence and diligently temper your saber technique, by the next semester, you can defeat him."

Lin Qiying assuredly stated.

"Mm, thank you, Master, disciple will definitely not disappoint you."

Qiu Kui responded with excitement, as if she regained confidence.

"Rise, a momentary success or failure means nothing, a Martial Artist must have a heart that can admit defeat at any time, only then can they reveal the true hero within; daring to face challenges makes the valiant nature known."

Lin Qiying encouraged.

"Yes, certainly, disciple understands."

Qiu Kui kowtowed once more.

Then, returned to the Cultivation Room to train diligently.

"Master, you really don't think there's anything wrong with Ling Feng?"
