"If that's the case, then bring it on," Lin Yifan revealed a sly smile, then drew his sword and launched an attack.
Xiaofang, not one for idle talk, lowered her realm to Breaking Mortal Fourth Realm to match Lin Yifan's realm for the fight.
"Bang!"
The next moment, they clashed in close combat.
Lin Yifan used the Meteor Sword Technique he had learned a few days ago, engaging Xiaofang in an intense battle.
Xiaofang, on the other hand, used a different set of swordsmanship techniques to overpower Lin Yifan.
Having spent so much time with Bright True Master, she had naturally learned the Meteor Sword Technique and was well aware of its strengths and weaknesses.
The strength of the Meteor Sword Technique lay in its speed, unleashing attacks so fast that the opponent couldn't cope, leaving no opportunity to counter; however, its weakness was that it consumed too much energy, and its techniques were monotonous.
Therefore, the swordsmanship she displayed looked like passive defense, appearing to be at a disadvantage; in reality, it was a strategy to wear down Lin Yifan's cultivation power and patience, causing Lin Yifan to defeat himself without her striking a blow.
Just as Xiaofang had predicted, Lin Yifan's prolonged offense led to him increasingly depleting his energy.
"It seems I can't keep attacking like this; her swordsmanship suppresses mine."
Having thought this through, Lin Yifan quickly retreated, standing at a distance, quietly waiting for Xiaofang to come on the offensive.
If Xiaofang didn't come to attack, then the contest would end in a draw, which would actually be a good thing for him.
Because Xiaofang was so powerful and mastered many martial arts, if she couldn't beat him in a hundred-meter race after having a fifty-meter head start, then it would be considered her loss, at least in the eyes of others.
Xiaofang realized Lin Yifan had seen through her intentions and strategically pulled back; she also knew that Lin Yifan's move was very disadvantageous to her; therefore, to ensure a victory was determined in this match, she decided to take the initiative to strike.
This time, she employed the Meteor Sword Technique, using the same method against Lin Yifan, letting him experience firsthand how formidable she was.
Lin Yifan did not have the defensive swordsmanship she had just used, so she believed Lin Yifan definitely couldn't withstand her ferocious attacks.
But she was wrong, utterly wrong; although Lin Yifan's martial arts were mediocre, he possessed an eidetic memory. Just now, Lin Yifan had completely mastered the defensive swordsmanship she had used; therefore, she would not find an opportunity to exploit.
"Bang!"
The moment they crossed swords, Xiaofang was shocked; because the scene before her was all too familiar.
"How does he know this sword technique? Could it be he just learned it? That's just too monstrous."
Even though she knew Lin Yifan had an eidetic memory, she had not expected that during their previous fight, Lin Yifan could multitask, deploying the Meteor Sword Technique while silently memorizing the martial arts she used.
If things continued this way, the contest might end in a draw! This was extremely disadvantageous for her.
After a few more exchanges, once Xiaofang confirmed that Lin Yifan had completely learned the defensive swordsmanship she had just used, she changed tactics, using other martial arts to break through Lin Yifan's defensive sword technique.
Seeing Xiaofang use other martial arts, Lin Yifan defended while quietly memorizing them.
Before long, he understood them thoroughly, resisting Xiaofang's attacks with one set of martial arts while looking for an opportunity to strike with the Meteor Sword Technique.
Xiaofang hadn't expected Lin Yifan to be so quick-witted, to learn and apply on the fly, integrating two sets of martial arts to attack her; even more terrifying, Lin Yifan had begun thinking of ways to counter her defensive sword technique.
Therefore, if she continued using that defensive sword technique against Lin Yifan's Meteor Sword Technique, it would soon become ineffective.
As the situation became increasingly dire for her, Xiaofang had no choice but to use the most powerful martial arts she had learned in her life to face Lin Yifan in battle; of course, she would still restrain her realm to match Lin Yifan's, fighting within the Breaking Mortal Fourth Realm.
"Junior Brother! Take this move!"
With a loud shout, she displayed the most fierce, complex, and dazzling swordsmanship.
She split into three, then, with powerful strength, she and her two doppelgangers attacked Lin Yifan together.
Watching this scene, Lin Yifan got scared, not expecting his senior sister to have such an abnormal martial arts; but fortunately, he had also learned a bit and thus deployed the same martial arts technique.
"Swoosh!"
In an instant, two doppelgangers appeared by his side, but compared to Xiaofang's, they were much smaller and their presence far weaker. However, to have learned such a complex martial arts was already quite impressive, especially since he had only watched it once.
Xiaofang was shocked again. She had executed the martial arts technique swiftly and didn't expect Lin Yifan to learn it; at this moment, she couldn't help but admire him.
If Lin Yifan also had as many martial arts as she did, she would definitely lose. Because Lin Yifan not only learned quickly but could also integrate and understand, meet moves with counter-moves, and resolve every set of techniques.
On the other side, Bright True Master, who had been secretly observing the battle, was extremely satisfied with Lin Yifan's performance. Lin Yifan was not the kind of talent who only memorized without thinking, capable of extrapolating and showing remarkable intelligence in martial arts.
With such a performance, Lin Yifan was destined to stand proud under the heavens before long.
Now, he was increasingly appreciating this candidate for succession, who was gradually catching up with the few disciples in his heart with extraordinary talent.
At the duel site, a great battle was about to erupt, and the battle between the three figures of Xiaofang and the three figures of Lin Yifan was extremely fierce.
However, since Xiaofang's execution of the martial arts was a bit more mature, she temporarily had the upper hand.
Lin Yifan fought with some difficulty while looking for a way to break through. He used each technique as he learned it, temporarily stalling Xiaofang's offense.
As time went on, and the situation grew increasingly dire, Lin Yifan suddenly rose to his feet, swiftly executing counter moves, tipping the balance of the duel in his favor.
In an instant, Xiaofang went from having the upper hand to being at a disadvantage, gradually unable to fend off the attacks.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Lin Yifan's speed in making moves got faster and faster, and Xiaofang struggled more and more.
The next moment, Lin Yifan seized an opportunity, delivering a fierce strike that sent Xiaofang's sword flying from her hand.
Xiaofang was caught off guard, her body involuntarily retreating backward and losing her balance.
"Ah!!!"
She let out an involuntary sharp scream, feeling as though she was about to fall to the ground.
Seeing this, Lin Yifan, as both a man and a junior brother, immediately rushed over and wrapped his arms around Xiaofang's slender waist, preventing her from falling.
In this moment, with the close contact and exchange of looks, Xiaofang was completely electrified, her mind going blank.
Now, what duel, what victory and defeat, didn't matter anymore. She just wanted to quietly enjoy Lin Yifan's protection, to quietly gaze upon his handsome visage.
"He's holding me, he's really holding me, why is he holding me? Could it be..."
"He's so handsome! So charismatic! Why is he looking at me like that? Could it be that he likes me?"
"His arms are so long, so strong, giving me a great sense of security."
