Losing Control

Garen and Fiora had just finished confiding in each other when Huo Su came over. She wasn't far from us to begin with, and it seemed she had overheard their conversation:

"I think I've heard something unbelievable. Jergente is engaged to her, and you like her too?" Huo Su asked Garen, pointing at Fiora. 🎅😾 Claw 🐉♧

"Yes, your name is Huo Su, right? It's nice to meet you."

"Come on, I don't want to know you, you bastard who stole my brother's woman!"

Garen smiled helplessly at Huo Su's words, "Alright, you're right."

"Hmph!" Huo Su glared at Garen, then circled around Fiora: "You are indeed pretty, but there's nothing particularly outstanding about you. Why does Jergente like you?"

"You should ask him directly." Fiora and Garen reacted similarly, unsure how to answer this obviously speechless little sister.

"Jergente has countless suitors in the Hearth-Home, and they are all very beautiful, but he hasn't taken a liking to any of them. You must have used some special methods!"

"If I had to name a method, it would probably be my sword!"

Fiora's words were a direct attack; she knew that the helpers I brought were no ordinary people, and she had enjoyed fighting Jergente, so it was natural that she had feelings for Huo Su in that regard.

Huo Su was also a warlike person, but she was a bit slow-witted and didn't understand Fiora's meaning.

Besides martial arts contests, the People of Furnace Village also enjoy weapon contests. Hearing Fiora say this, they assumed she was a master swordsmith.

"Your sword? You can forge a weapon even better than your Jergente?!"

"Uh... no, I meant swordsmanship."

Huo Su was taken aback at first, then suddenly burst into laughter. "Hahaha... Are you kidding me? You're saying that Jergente's swordsmanship is inferior to yours?"

"Is it that funny? You seem to admire him a lot?"

"Of course, Jergente is invincible in my eyes! Since you say he's not as good as you, then I'd like to have a match with you!"

Fiora had this plan all along, but Huo Su hadn't realized it earlier, and now they've had a perfect opportunity to clash.

I'm also quite interested to see the two of them spar. Huo Su and I only tested our fists and feet before, without using any weapons. Let Fiora test it out!

The two drew their weapons. Fiora's sword was still the classic rapier of the Laurent Family, and Huo Su's sword was similar, only shorter.

The two locked eyes, and a contest was about to erupt!

There were quite a few people sparring around them. Their fight didn't attract much attention at first, but it gradually drew more people over.

Huo Su is skilled with her legs, and this weapon competition is no exception. Her footwork is agile yet powerful, much like that of Jergente.

Fiora needs no introduction. Her superb Laurent Swordplay has been further enhanced by Jax's guidance. Moreover, she has sparred with Jergente many times and knows Huo Su's footwork very well, while Huo Su knows nothing about Fiora.

This was already a battle with a huge disparity in strength, especially since it was a contest conducted under conditions of unequal information. Huo Su Sulian Fiora was in grave danger before she could even force her to use her defensive moves.

Of course, she hadn't used the Giant Sheep Power yet. The real competition would only begin when she encountered real danger, and that danger would come very soon.

Following Huo Su's reckless attack, Fiora used Laurent's Mind Blade for the first time, unsurprisingly deflecting Huo Su's short sword, and then swung the blade towards her neck, presumably intending to end the fight.

At this moment, Huo Su's momentum suddenly surged, and Fiora, who hadn't intended to strike, was directly knocked back two steps.

"You are indeed very powerful, but you are no match for me!" Huo Su said confidently after using the Giant Sheep Power.

"We'll have to try to find out," Fiora said nonchalantly.

The two began their second round of combat. Huo Su's speed had increased significantly, but Fiora still held the advantage in this aspect. The more troublesome issue was her increased strength.

After Huo Su's power surged. This wasn't due to magic or the Natural Power, but rather genuine strength. Even though Fiora had reached the pinnacle of Martial Arts like Jax, she still had to face him head-on.

With minimal External Force required, Huo Su was like an angry giant sheep charging around, showing no signs of fatigue for a long time.

Fiora finally looked serious, but I noticed that her stamina was much better than before. In the past, when I fought her, she would be out of breath in no time, but now she was just sweating and her breathing was very steady.

There is no doubt that she learned External Force from Jergente, but she was not proficient enough.

Soon, facing the energetic Huo Su, Fiora still used defensive moves. The tight Laurent Family Sword Control Technique was very suitable for wearing down the opponent's stamina.

Although External Force cannot be consumed, they can be used to observe the opponent and find weaknesses while defending.

After a while of defending, Fiora launched another attack. It has to be said that her stamina has become terrifyingly abundant. In the past, she would have decided the outcome with Blade Waltz.

Huo Su's initiative gradually faded, and he became passive again. Moreover, he had cut his left arm in his recklessness just now.

Seeing that she was about to be defeated again, she sheathed her short sword, gritted her teeth, and her aura surged once more, transforming her into her strongest form with her entire body turning fiery red!

Previously in the arena, she used this power to severely defeat Strength Speed Shadow Precision; if Tam hadn't intervened, it might have turned into a disaster.

Seeing her use that power again, I felt a growing unease. If she accidentally hurt Fiora, then the competition would lose all meaning.

Fiora also noticed something was wrong. She hadn't expected Huo Su to turn out like this. She held her sword in front of her, not daring to be distracted for a moment.

Huo Su launched another attack, disappearing from everyone's sight in an instant, just like before. When he reappeared, Fiora had already taken several steps back.

At that moment, the three Teacher, Yu, Jun, and Ying, were all instantly knocked away, while Fiora only took a few steps back, clearly indicating that she was stronger.

However, this did not mean she could defend against the next attack. After struggling to withstand the second and third attacks, she could no longer hold on to the fourth attack and flew straight towards me.

I used the Wind Force to deflect the impact and then caught Fiora, but Huo Su didn't stop and continued to charge forward.

Tam said that the People of Furnace Village basically lose their minds when they transform into giant sheep. Without hesitation, I gathered a gale and charged forward.

Finally, Huo Su stopped two steps away from us, unable to move forward due to my strong wind.

"Wake up! Didn't you say that competitions should have a limit? Why are you trying to kill me now?"
