"That's brilliant! You can actually make requests?" Luo Ge's lips curled up, and he nodded directly.
"OK"
I agree.
"Hey! You agreed to it without even asking what the conditions were?" Isolte couldn't help but ask back.
"It doesn't matter, that kind of thing doesn't matter at all... The result is the same anyway. The moment you became my opponent, your defeat was already predetermined."
Luo Ge spoke casually, without any deliberate boasting; his calm tone simply gave the impression that it was perfectly natural.
Is that so?
Isolte murmured.
Then, gripping the wooden sword tightly with both hands, she said thoughtfully, "Next... how about we settle this with the Water God Style?"
"Very cunning."
"However, my Advanced Rank Water God Style is against your Water Saint, so the advantage is in my favor. Let's start the fight."
"Start!"
Nina, acting as the referee, stood between the two and gave a signal, then quickly made room for them.
The Water God and the Sword God couldn't help but fix their gazes on the two of them.
They were both very curious about who would come out on top in this match.
After all, both sides could only Water God Style techniques, which was actually quite disadvantageous for Luo Ge.
After all, no one knows whether Luo Ge possesses the same talent in the Water God Style as he does in the Sword God Style.
Today's exchange may seem like a friendly competition between two young people, but only a few can truly understand its underlying meaning.
This is more like a duel between a future Water God and Sword God.
Luo Ge is the strongest of the younger generation of the Sword God Style the Sword Sanctum, and is the man most recognized by all the disciples of the Sanctum as the future Sword God.
The same goes for Isolte. As the granddaughter of the Water God Reida, she is a naturally gifted individual. At a young age, she has already become Water Saint, and it is only a matter of time before she becomes the Water King.
If Luo Ge is the young representative of the Sword God Style, then Isolte can represent the number one of her generation in the Water God Style.
Someone like Isolte, who could become Water Saint at the age of twelve and has the potential to become Water King before the age of fifteen, could even become Water Emperor at the age of twenty.
A genius swordsman like Isolte would be among the most dazzling figures in any era.
To put it bluntly, becoming Water God is not impossible for Isolte.
But this woman, who was so outstanding that she surpassed all her contemporaries, was utterly defeated by a young man.
Recalling the beating she received more than a year ago, Isolte couldn't help but take a deep breath.
This time, she will definitely... she will definitely win.
Isolte stared intently at the boy before her. Although he looked a little younger than her, he exuded an invisible sense of pressure.
In the past, she would have definitely provoked her opponent first before the fight even started.
But now...
"Looks like you're planning to be a coward."
"Is this your tactic? Trying to slowly wear me down?" It was Luo Ge who spoke, Isolte had no chance to interrupt, because the other party was even more talkative than she was.
The duels of the Water God Style are simple and unpretentious; they test not only swordsmanship but also patience.
Therefore, people who study the Water God Style often have a very resilient mindset.
Even if Isolte stood here and remained motionless, she could last a whole day and night without any problems.
But the problem is...
Luo Ge had no intention of wasting any more time.
"This is so boring..."
Luo Ge yawned, then made the first move.
Seeing this, Isolte's lips curled up slightly. So, she really was the first to lose her composure?
Luo Ge swung his sword.
However, it no longer boasts the speed of the past, nor does it possess that invincible offensive capability.
The moves were slow... even Nina could see them clearly from the side.
It lacked speed, but gained a sense of heaviness.
Bang!
The two swords clashed, instantly generating a powerful shockwave that caused Isolte's blue hair to flutter in the wind.
"It... it was blocked?"
Isolte, who had been under immense pressure, was suddenly overjoyed.
You have to understand, she used to be so vulnerable that she couldn't even withstand a single blow from her opponent. She couldn't even see the trajectory of their sword before being sent flying by a single strike.
But now, not only can he clearly see the speed of his opponent's sword swing, he can even easily catch it?
What does this tell us?
This illustrates... if it's the Sword God Style, then Luo Ge is like a tiger with its teeth pulled out.
"Next... it's my turn to fight back." Isolte's lips curled up as she seized the opportunity and launched a fierce attack.
It was originally just a casual, tentative counterattack, but unexpectedly, it worked quite well.
Under her counterattack...
Luo Ge was quickly forced into a retreat, fighting as he went, which made Isolte both delighted and puzzled.
Was it really that easy?
But she couldn't worry about that now. Having finally seized the opportunity, Isolte didn't want to miss it because of hesitation; hesitation would lead to defeat.
Seizing a slight opening in her opponent's defenses, Isolte stabbed fiercely at the weakest point in her opponent's lower body.
You've lost!
Isolte, her imposing manner overwhelming.
But Luo Ge showed no sign of panic; instead, a slight smile played on his lips, "Hehehe, you fell for it, you idiot!"
"This is the end... Let's put an end to everything!"
In that instant.
Luo Ge used a technique he learned from Isolte, using minimal force to overcome maximum effect.
"???"
As Isolte was instantly sent flying, her pupils also contracted sharply.
Both of them used the same Water God Style technique at the most crucial moment, so why was I the one who got knocked away?
Difficult to understand...
This is completely unreasonable.
When Isolte landed with a thud, her eyes were almost glazed over.
"Hateful!"
"Why?"
Why is that?
"I clearly found your weakness, and I was just one step away from winning, so why... did I still lose?"
Isolte the floor; the physical pain paled in comparison to the excruciating agony that pierced her soul.
The loss was so inexplicable...
And yet, they were in such a sorry state.
In order to catch up with her, he has been improving his swordsmanship of the Water God Style for more than a year.
I wanted to one day wash away this shame with my own hands, but today... the shame has not only not been washed away, it has become even more shameful.
" Gal... It's Isolte lost." The Water God Reida seemed to have expected this result all along.
Among all the people present, she was the most familiar with the Water God Style techniques, and therefore the first to realize that Isolte was likely to lose.
From the very beginning, Isolte made a wrong judgment; she was tricked by the other party's deception.
This clumsy tactic is hardly clever; perhaps Isolte had already seen through it.
But Luo Ge exploited Isolte's desperate desire to survive; she wanted to win so badly, she wanted to prove herself so badly.
If there's even the slightest chance of winning, Isolte will be like a gambler, willing to bet all her chips, even if she vaguely senses a trap, she's unwilling to give up.
Anyone else wouldn't be so easily fooled, but it was Isolte who was too eager to win, which is why she lost.
This is psychological warfare.
This is an open strategy, an impeccable psychological game.
"I lost!"
Isolte stood up with difficulty and bowed slightly.
"Um..."
"You're not bad, but that's all." Luo Ge sheathed his sword, maintaining a casual attitude throughout.
"What a wonderful duel! There aren't many people who can make Isolte lose. Young man, you're truly amazing!" The Water God Reida couldn't help but praise.
"Hey, Gal, your disciple has given me a wonderful surprise today. He truly has the potential to learn the Water God Style."
"Of course, just look at who taught him." Sword God Gal had a proud expression on his face.
However, his joy was short-lived; his face instantly darkened.
This shameless Water God Reida, brazenly said to Luo Ge right in front of him, "Young man, how about considering switching allegiances? Leaving the Sword Sanctum... and joining our Water God Style?"
"I can assure you that your talent in the Water God Style is absolutely no less than that in the Sword God Style."
"Even becoming the Water God in the future... wouldn't be difficult for you."
"Lord Water God."
Luo Ge glanced at the sincere-looking Water God Reida, then decisively shook his head. "... I'm sorry."
"I'm afraid I'll have to disappoint you, Lord Water God. Please forgive me for declining."
"Oh? You were rejected... What was the reason?!" Water God Reida, pressed on, unwilling to give up.
"The reason is simple!"
"I will be a disciple of the Sanctum from this day forward, and for life, I will never pledge allegiance to anyone else."
These words were spoken.
Not only did Gal nod in satisfaction, but Nina couldn't help but nod as well, secretly applauding.
Huh?
etc!
Why should she nod to this inexplicable guy and even say it's okay? Pshaw... She doesn't want to.
"I see."
"Alas... I've made a fool of myself."
Reida stared at Luo Ge for a moment, then could only sigh helplessly, " Gal, it seems that in the future, your Sword God Style will once again surpass our Water God Style by an era."
"Nonsense, the Water God Style has always been the weakest of the three major schools. I look down on your Water God Style." Although he said that, Gal's Water God Style had actually been cultivated to the Emperor Rank.
It wasn't out of love... but because of the three major schools of the Dragon God, so Gal wanted to one day defeat the Dragon God.
He put his heart and soul into all three major schools of thought.
In training Luo Ge, he planned to replicate the same approach; in short, anyone who fought the Dragon God would be one of his own, the Sword God Gal.
