"First Soul Skill-Fleeting Light, Passing Shadow. Watch out!" Chen Xiaojun suddenly unleashed his first soul skill, and the Chengying Sword instantly appeared near Xiao Yi.
Since this was only a sparring match, Chen Xiaojun gave her a warning.
Suddenly, the leaves changed course. They converged on a central point at astonishing speed, forming a green vortex two meters across that grew larger and spun faster and faster.
"Thousand-Leaf Barrier!"
This was one of the original defensive moves of Ten Thousand Leaves Flying Flower Flow. Previously, her mastery of the technique had been too low to strengthen it enough for defense. Although her mastery was still not high, the branches and leaves of the Immortal Evergreen Vine were themselves of exceptional quality.

Meanwhile, Xiao Yi's hands moved rapidly, her fingers poised like orchids. Her movements seemed light, yet brimmed with strength.
"Green Vine Thorn!"

It was a racing shadow
