The Xiao Family's Martial Arts Tournament (2)
The fierce battle between Qingxiao and Cartethyia had set a great precedent for the martial arts tournament, making the audience even more eager for the next match.
"Yangyang!"
Seeing her older sister suddenly run up to her, Yangyang tilted her head slightly, looking puzzled, and asked, "What's wrong, sister?"
"Come and spar with me for a bit."
"Really?" Yangyang gave a playful smile to Suisui, who seemed a little overconfident. "Let's make this clear: once we're on stage, I won't be going to consider our sisterly bond, okay?"
"I believe my precious little sister wouldn't want her older sister to get injured in the process, right?" Suisui said to her little sister in a cute way.
"That's hard to say." Yangyang squinted, a forced smile on her face. "Without further ado, let's get started. I'd appreciate it if you could show me your true skills, sister."
"It's hard to say who will win or lose," Suisui said with a smile that didn't fade.
Thus, after this prelude, the Yang Sui sisters became participants in the second round of the martial arts tournament.
"Sister Yangyang hit Sister Suisui? How could I have such a dream?" Lynae rubbed her eyes, making sure she wasn't mistaken before asking this existential question.
"How so?" Xiao Ling asked, indicating that he should begin his speech.
"Look, Yangyang is the main DPS, Suisui is the support. I think if they were to fight, it would be a 30/70 split. Yangyang's three Suisui's seven seconds would be devastating."
"I don't think Yangyang would go so far as to send Wind Spirals to her own sister," Xiao Ling shook her head and said. "They're blood-related sisters, after all. At most, she'd only go so far as to say something inappropriate."
Although Suisui's Resonance Ability is to control water flow, water can nourish all things, but it can also destroy all things. If they were to fight each other in a real battle, the outcome between them would not be so unpredictable.
While Suisui's strength in the game is truly hard to describe... her Resonance Ability definitely has considerable room for development.
"Well, those two are about to start fighting. Let's see how it ends."
In fact, these girls all share a common rule when they spar: they never waste words if they can fight, not even before the match.
Just like now, Yangyang and Suisui started their battle after only a brief encounter.
Yangyang started with the Azure Sword Style, characterized by its powerful and heavy strikes. Its wide and sweeping sword movements often made it difficult for the enemy to defend, giving it an advantage in head-on confrontations.
In this situation, Suisui would obviously not gain any advantage if she tried to fight head-on, but--
Despite her younger sister's fierce attack, Suisui remained elegant and composed. She only retreated to the side the instant the Azure Sword Style struck, leaving behind only a mist reflecting her silhouette.
With a swift movement reminiscent of Suisui's signature dodge, Yangyang's powerful attack missed its mark in an instant.
Then, she seized the opportunity when Yangyang finished her attack, calmly opened her fan, and condensation appeared on the edge of the fan. She then lightly tapped Yangyang's sword with her blade, repelling Yangyang's attack.
"So, Lynae, please don't apply game templates to real-life situations," Xiao Ling teased Lynae, watching Suisui's perfect dodge.
"Tch, dream on." Lynae curled her lip.
The perspective shifts back to the martial arts arena, where Yangyang tries to probe her older sister with the Azure Sword Style for a few rounds, only to find that she is completely helpless against her.
There's no other way; you can use the Azure Sword Style to break through formations and launch a frontal assault, but if the opponent refuses to fight you, you'll only be wearing yourself down.
So, Yangyang took a deep breath, sheathed her sword, lightly touched the ground with her toes, and her figure suddenly became light, instantly suppressing the composure of the Azure Sword Style.
Softly, softly.
In the blink of an eye, Yangyang disappeared from Suisui's sight. She immediately became alert and began to look around to deduce where Yangyang might be.
It's not on the left, it's not on the right, it's not even behind me...? Then it can only be...!
Just as she had expected, a clear cry rang out from directly above Suisui. Without thinking, Suisui lightly touched the ground with her toes and floated backward like a leaf. Immediately afterward, Yangyang, whose sword energy was fully charged, crashed down from the sky with a bang.
"The people of Dreamland can fly?!" Lynae exclaimed in shock.
"People from Dreamland can all fly, I suppose," Xiao Ling chimed in.
"Sister's reaction is still as quick as ever." Yangyang, having failed in her sneak attack, sheathed her sword and praised her older sister.
"You're not bad either. If I had reacted any slower, I probably would have been sent flying on the spot," Suisui joked casually.
The Feather Sword Style emphasizes speed and agility, making it difficult for ordinary people to track its attack trajectory. Unlike the powerful and heavy Azure Sword Style, the Feather Sword Style focuses on swiftness and agility, leaving the enemy in a state of panic.
"It's come to this, isn't sister going to show some of her real skills?"
"Well, if this is what you want Yangyang..."
Suisui activated her Resonance Ability, closed the folding fan in her hand, and replaced it with silk woven from flowing water ripples.
The Suisui in the water sleeve form shift from a defensive to an offensive posture. The seemingly ordinary water sleeves and silk are actually similar to high-pressure water whips. At first glance, they seem harmless, but if they hit you, they will still hurt.
"Sister, I'm not going to hold back from now on, okay?"
"Since it's a friendly exchange, we should naturally give it our all."
No sooner had the words left their mouths than the two clashed again. Yangyang's Feather Sword Style was swift and agile, while Suisui's Water Sleeve Dance was elegant and composed. The two took turns performing, their sword blades clashing and their water sleeves splashing up beautiful ripples.
Although Yangyang's Feather Sword Style is powerful, the sword's attack range is limited. Suisui's water sleeves are long enough, and her attack range is far enough, allowing her to stay at a safe distance and wear down Yangyang's stamina until Yangyang is exhausted and admits defeat.
Yangyang naturally understood this, so she didn't intend to fight a war of attrition. Finding an opportunity to strike decisively was the true strength of the Feather Sword Style.
After exchanging a few blows, Yangyang disappeared from the spot again, and having learned from her previous experience, Suisui immediately focused most of her attention on the sky.
Sure enough, a clear, melodious cry came from above my head once again.
As expected, Suisui once again lightly touched the ground with her toes and retreated to a distance, and the result was...
Feeling the cold blade against her neck, Suisui knew she still couldn't outmaneuver her younger sister.
"All's fair in war, sister," Yangyang said with a hint of smugness.
"So that cry in the sky was just a feint from you?" Suisui chuckled.
Yangyang didn't reply, which presumably meant she tacitly agreed with Suisui's judgment.
"Okay, okay, I give up." Suisui raised her hands in surrender, and the victory of this round rightfully belonged to Yangyang.
"A bet's a bet. In return, will you grant me one request, sister?"
"We haven't mentioned this before, have we?"
"I added it at the last minute."
"Hey... tell me, what's wrong?"
"That's how it is..."
After Yangyang and Suisui whispered in each other's ears for a while, the audience noticed that Suisui's originally elegant and composed face suddenly had a more alluring blush.
"Absurd! How could you say that!" Suisui said, blushing. "Yangyang, I think you've been corrupted by Brother Ling!"
"According to Xiao Yu, this is called a little romance between partners~" Yangyang with a sly smile.
Well, putting aside what they agreed to for the moment, in short, the winner of the second round undoubtedly belongs to Miss Aero Convoy.
