Chapter 552

Hawk-Eye said, "I still have some strength left. I could keep fighting. But the cold has seeped through my whole body, and all the strength I have left is going toward resisting it. I have none left for a fight!"

Kuina chuckled. "I've used up all my strength. I can't perform another sword technique. But neither can you, so I'd call it a draw!"

Hawk-Eye nodded with difficulty. "Yes, it's a draw. Congratulations on becoming a female Great Swordsman! As for the title of World's Greatest Swordsman, if you want it, it's yours!"

With that, Hawk-Eye slowly made his way toward the sea. Bitterness filled him. He had not lost, but he had not won, either. Worse, the opponent who had fought him to a standstill was a woman. To Hawk-Eye, that was humiliating. Women faced an innate disadvantage in Sword Dao, yet one had matched him with her swordsmanship. He could only see that as a failure.

Of course, those were Hawk-Eye's private thoughts. If they ever got out, swordswomen across the world would probably come after him!

Kuina put on a padded coat aboard her ship and watched him leave. "Heh... We were evenly matched. You didn't beat me, and I didn't beat you. So I won't accept the title of World's Greatest Swordsman. We'll fight again someday!"

With that, Kuina stubbornly made her way toward the warship.

As Kuina departed, the whole world was stunned!

Swordsmen in particular were shaken to the core.

Red-Hair clutched his forehead. "Ah... That brat Hawk-Eye actually lost to a woman!"

Benn Beckman shook his head. "Hawk-Eye didn't lose. It was a draw."

Lucky Roux took a bite of meat. "Haha... What the captain means is, how could Hawk-Eye lose to a woman? Looks like our captain looks down on women
