More importantly, they did not want other factions figuring out their capabilities just yet.
"Good point. You've thought this through."
Rayleigh and Shakky both nodded after hearing him out.
Honestly, they were quite curious about Xunjing's spatial movement ability, too.
They had heard about it long ago, but seeing it firsthand still made them look a few extra times.
Neither of them asked about it, though.
"All right! Let's spar, then! Honestly, I'm quite eager to see how strong you are."
"I haven't had a proper fight in years. This is the perfect chance to stretch these old bones."
With that, Rayleigh walked over to a nearby stretch of beach, drew the sword at his waist, and challenged Uchiha Chisato.
Uchiha Chisato wasted no time. She reached into her storage space, took out her Great Grade Blade, Crescent, and walked over to stand a dozen meters opposite Rayleigh.
A razor-sharp aura burst from her, making Rayleigh's eyes light up. "Oh? I didn't expect you to have come this far in swordsmanship, too!"
"A Peak Sword Master? Not bad!"
"And that Great Grade Blade is up to the task! Let's fight!"
The moment he finished speaking, Rayleigh made the first move, charging at Uchiha Chisato with a flash of his blade.
Clang, clang, clang, clang!!!
The next instant, both vanished from where they stood. When they reappeared, they had already met in the middle.
Uchiha Chisato gripped her sword and brought it down.
Rayleigh did not dodge. He raised his blade to meet hers head-on.
Clang-!
The two swords collided, sending sparks flying.
Neither stopped moving. Their blades flashed as they unleashed one slash after another.
The clash of steel came as thick and fast as rain pounding the ground.
In just a few seconds, they had exchanged several blows.
