Swift Sword, Blazing Blade

The Gu Family's Training Ground was located beneath the backyard, covering an area about half the size of a football field.

Li Wei followed Gu Jinzhi all the way there, drawing the attention of many garden maintenance staff.

Especially Li Wei's stunning beauty, which truly captivated many.

Upon reaching their destination, Gu Jinzhi's younger siblings, having somehow heard the news, came rushing over.

Gu Jinyi, only fourteen years old and with her hair in a bun, was soft, cute, and clung to Li Wei's arm.

Her developing young figure brushed against Li Wei, making her feel flustered and as if she were floating on clouds.

"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, you're so beautiful! Your skin is so smooth! What skincare products do you use?"

"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, are you really going to spar with my brother? My brother is too much! How could he hit you!"

"Don't be scared, sister-in-law. If he dares to hurt you, I'll tell Grandpa! Grandpa will definitely help you beat him up!"

On the other side, sixteen-year-old Gu Jinwen also came closer, looking utterly smitten by Li Wei's beauty.

"Miss Jiang," he said with a grin, "How about you reconsider marrying my brother? Wait four years, and then marry me, okay?"

"Ah! That hurts! Gu Jinyi, why did you hit me?"

"Ouch! You're still hitting me? You think I won't fight back?"

"Don't hit my face~"

Watching the young boy cover his head, chased by his sister all over the place, Li Wei couldn't help but laugh. She found the pair incredibly amusing.

She nudged Gu Jinzhi, who stood rigidly beside her as if in meditation, with her elbow. Her tone carried a hint of envy:

"Your siblings are so full of life. Your home must be very lively usually, right?"

Gu Jinzhi looked at the two of them bickering at the side of the field, his brows furrowed, his lips pressed into a straight line. He said in a low voice, "Noisy."

"Who are you calling noisy?" Li Wei raised an eyebrow and glanced at him sideways.

Gu Jinzhi's peripheral vision caught her movement. He quickly estimated the distance between them and her speed of attack. His Adam's apple bobbed, and he clarified with a straight face:

"Them."

Li Wei hummed in satisfaction, withdrew her arm, and then pointed to the center of the training ground. "Shall we start now?"

Gu Jinzhi nodded. "Do you want to use training equipment, or your own?"

Li Wei touched her belt, recalling the astonishing sharpness of the cicada wing soft sword. She was genuinely afraid she might not be able to control her strength, so she said, "Training equipment, please."

Gu Jinzhi was silent for a moment, as if weighing the options, and finally nodded.

He walked to the edge of the field and pressed a inconspicuous protrusion on the wall.

A hidden weapon rack slowly slid open, revealing various weapons displayed within, all in a simple iron-gray color.

"What's the blade length of your sword?" Gu Jinzhi asked.

Li Wei answered without thinking, "Seventy centimeters."

Upon hearing this, Gu Jinzhi drew a gray longsword of the same length from the rack. With a flick of his wrist, he sent the sword flying towards Li Wei, the hilt forward, cutting through the air.

Li Wei caught it with ease. It felt slightly heavy in her hand.

She weighed it, her fingertips sliding across the blade, which felt cool to the touch.

Its weight and metallic texture were indistinguishable from a real sword, only the rounded, unsharpened edge had a special matte finish.

She was somewhat curious about the material.

At this moment, Gu Jinzhi was already holding a similar-colored Ming-style saber, standing ten meters away from Li Wei.

"The blade of the training equipment uses a special material," he said, his voice still clear and cold. "It looks like metal, but it's not."

"When it strikes skin, once the force exceeds the basic defense strength of a First Order martial artist, the blade will instantly soften."

After speaking, he looked at Li Wei. Seeing that she was still wearing that light blue dress, he asked, "Miss Jiang, do you need to change into practice clothes?"

Li Wei casually shook her head. "No need, I'm wearing safety shorts."

As she spoke, as if to prove her words, she kicked off the crystal sandals that were in her way, revealing her fair feet, and casually lifted a corner of her skirt.

Gu Jinzhi's expression instantly froze. Then, a surge of heat rushed to his head, and his cheeks quickly turned red.

Gu Jinyi beside them reacted swiftly, letting out a startled cry and covering Gu Jinwen's eyes, who was trying to peek.

However, before Gu Jinzhi could look away, he saw that Li Wei was wearing a pair of milky-white athletic shorts under her dress, the legs reaching just above her knees...

Rather than safety shorts, they were more like a pair of five-point shorts that could completely be worn as outerwear.

The expressions of the Gu siblings were somewhat indescribable. Looking at Li Wei's uninhibited demeanor, a thought simultaneously crossed their minds: Is this future wife (sister-in-law)'s thought process different from others?

"Ahem!"

Gu Jinzhi forcibly suppressed the strange feeling in his heart, took a deep breath, and the redness on his face slowly faded, his expression returning to indifference.

He held the saber in his right hand, pointing it diagonally towards the ground, and raised his left hand palm up. He said expressionlessly, "Miss Jiang, please!"

Li Wei let go of her skirt and casually untied the blue and white silk ribbon from her waist, neatly tying her loose hair into a ponytail.

Her hair lifted, revealing her smooth, full forehead and delicate features.

She twirled her sword with a flourish, then grinned at Gu Jinzhi, "Mr. Gu, be careful."

Seeing this, Gu Jinwen and Gu Jinyi wisely retreated to the edge of the arena, their faces a mixture of worry and excitement as they whispered to each other.

Gu Jinyi: "Second Brother, do you think Sister-in-law can win?"

Gu Jinwen: "Looking good doesn't equate to skill..."

Gu Jinyi: "But Sister-in-law looks very confident!"

Gu Jinwen: "That's a newborn calf that fears no tiger!"

Gu Jinyi: "If the gap is that big, why even have a match?"

Gu Jinwen: "We're a Martial Arts Noble Family. Shouldn't one establish their family status through a match before marriage?"

Gu Jinyi: "..."

Before he finished speaking, Li Wei moved in the arena!

In the blink of an eye, the light blue figure ghosted in front of Gu Jinzhi.

Her dull grey training sword whistled faintly as she attacked with a tricky angle, slashing towards his neck!

Gu Jinzhi's pupils constricted. He was prepared this time, but Li Wei's speed still exceeded his expectations.

Almost on instinct, his eyes sharpened, and he put his waist into it. His saber swiftly lifted from bottom to top, precisely blocking the sudden attack.

A crisp clash of metal echoed across the vast training ground, making their eardrums buzz.

The moment the sound waves spread, Li Wei's figure blurred again.

She lightly tapped the ground with her toes, her body tracing an unbelievable arc. She had already appeared behind Gu Jinzhi's flank.

Flipping her wrist, she thrust her sword again, aiming for his vital back!

Her change in direction was too fast, too fast for Gu Jinzhi to even react and block.

In a moment of desperation, he let out a low roar. Vitality surged through his body, and using his feet as an axis, he spun rapidly!

His saber spun with him, the blade light forming an impenetrable silver barrier, protecting his entire body.

"Holy crap, are you cosplaying a Tauren Blademaster!"

Li Wei was startled by the sudden whirlwind of swordplay. She shouted in surprise, retreating and avoiding the blade's range.

But the moment she landed and before she could fully stabilize herself, Gu Jinzhi's spin abruptly stopped.

With a low growl, he unleashed his Vitality without reservation, its intensity far exceeding his previous burst.

A scorching, violent wave of energy radiated outwards from him, as if the air itself had ignited and distorted.

Li Wei felt as if she'd been suddenly pushed in front of a giant steel furnace, her skin burning.

Gu Family's 'Great Sun Meditation Method'? Holy crap, so OP!

The blazing blood-red aura instantly covered his saber.

Gu Jinzhi stomped his feet, charging forward like a cannonball. He raised his saber high, bringing it down towards Li Wei!

Li Wei's almond-shaped eyes widened, her pupils shrinking. She stepped on her toes.

The light blue figure once again turned into an elusive afterimage, narrowly dodging the ferocious strike.

At the same time, her sword attacked like a sudden downpour, the faint popping sounds of the sword tip breaking the air forming a continuous stream.

Damn it, I can't suppress the sword sound! Looks like to achieve the silent effect with 'Cold Pond Sinking Jade' at Minor Accomplishment stage, I really need the cicada wing soft sword.

Li Wei's mind raced, but her offensive attacks became even more fierce and swift.

Gu Jinzhi's strike missed. The world blurred before his eyes, and a sky full of sword shadows attacked him again.

Using his keen hearing and combat intuition, he managed to block several blows.

But Li Wei's speed was simply too fast, and her footwork too bizarre and unpredictable.

She was sometimes to his left, sometimes to his right, and her sword angles were utterly inconceivable.

This forced him to start his "electric fan" spin again.

The fierce saber light once again formed a rotating ring of fire, forcefully repelling Li Wei's assault.

This scene made the Gu family siblings watching from the sidelines almost pop their eyes out.

Gu Jinwen rubbed his eyes vigorously, grabbing his sister's arm in disbelief:

"I, I'm not seeing things, am I? My brother is the one being suppressed? My eldest brother, who won the national championship?! Jinyi, pinch me, am I dreaming?"

"Ouch—!" Gu Jinwen yelped. "Holy crap! You actually pinched me?"

Gu Jinyi's face was flushed red: "Sorry, I got too excited!"

Gu Jinwen looked at her, utterly confused: "Excited about what?"

Gu Jinyi's eyes shone brightly, staring intently at the agile, graceful, and ghost-like blue silhouette in the arena:

"I've decided! From today onwards! I'm not practicing saber anymore! I want to learn sword from Sister-in-law!"

Speaking, the little girl puffed out her still-undeveloped chest, spread her legs, placed her left hand loosely at her waist, and thrust her right hand forward like a sword with her fingers together, imitating some sort of expert. She chanted:

"Your sword is sharp, but my sword has never been dull!"

After her performance, she turned to look at the stunned Gu Jinwen and asked excitedly:

"Second Brother, Second Brother, wasn't I cool?"

Gu Jinwen's face was blank, his mouth twitching. He instinctively retorted, "Your sword is cheap... Ow, don't twist my ear! Let go! It hurts, it hurts!"
