Elder Ling demonstrated his dual-saber techniques. Watching Ling Tian get utterly crushed, everyone stood there dumbfounded. They hadn't expected Ling Tian to fare so miserably even after using so many supreme techniques. When they saw him leap out of the arena in such a sorry state, Hu Yao and the others actually forgot to tease him for a moment.
"How was it, little Ling'er? Did you see the techniques I used?" Elder Ling asked Ye Ling.
Ye Ling nodded, then quickly shook her head. She looked a little embarrassed. "Grandpa Ling, you were moving too fast. I could only make out the general movements, but I think I understand what you were trying to show me."
"Oh? Tell me about it." Elder Ling looked curious.
"The long saber is for offense, and the short saber is for defense. I also saw that you used the short saber for little tricks like borrowing and redirecting force, then used that momentum to quickly retreat or change position." Ye Ling spoke softly, growing more confident as she went on. "From what I understand, you always circle around to places that are difficult for your opponent to defend, like behind them, and then attack with the long saber..."
"Tsk, tsk. This little girl has pretty good comprehension." Elder Ling was full of praise. He nodded. "That's more or less it. You'll have to practice a lot from now on, though luckily you have the cultivation-method jade slip to study. By the way, I think Lin Er understands it too. Let him teach you from now on. Actually, I feel like this secret art suits him quite well, too."
"That's right. If these two curved sabers had water and fire attributes, Lin Er could use them as well." Ling Tian had already straightened his robe.
