Chapter 60
Gu Mingfeng raised his sword at the same time!
Zing…
The two swords clashed with an ear-piercing sound and sparks!
Chu Xianmin’s heart sank. The power contained within Gu Mingfeng’s sword was even stronger than hers.
He is hiding his strength! Chu Xianmin began to panic even more at this thought. No way! I must not be defeated by Gu Mingfeng! I must win first place today.
Gu Mingfeng pushed with his wrist again, and the longsword came crashing down on Chu Xianmin.
She felt her entire arm go numb, making it difficult for her to grip the sword in her hand.
Suddenly she had an idea! She loosened her grip on the sword, lowered herself, and stepped aside to avoid his sword.
Gu Mingfeng initially thought she would attack again, but he didn’t expect her to abandon her sword and lose her pivot all of a sudden.
The longsword in his hand, which had been filled with the force, fell short! He wobbled.
“But it just looked a little off…”
One teacher laughed.
“It is a competition after all. Sometimes, it’s not a bad idea to be smart.”
There were other teachers who showed their disapproval, but they didn’t say anything in the end. All of them could clearly see that Chu Xianmin had pushed the envelope. Although her actions weren’t very good, it wasn’t a big mistake.
They would encounter much more dangerous situations than this when they fought in the future.
Besides, Gu Mingfeng didn’t seem to have any intention of fighting for first place…
Hearing the teacher say all this, the questioning voices in the crowd gradually subsided.
Chu Xianmin walked up to Rong Jin and said with relief, “Fortunately, I didn’t disappoint Brother Jin.
Rong Jin smiled. “Your strength has increased by so much more than before. It won’t take you long to become a stage-four warrior.” The process didn’t matter. What he wanted was the result. “I promised you before that I would give you a reward as long as you could pull off a victory.”
Rong Jin was in a good mood. He was beginning to look at Chu Xianmin much more favorably again.
The position of main consort was no longer available to her, but the position of side consort was still good.
“Warrior assessment for the 453rd batch, first place goes to Chu—”
The assessment teacher couldn’t finish the announcement. He was interrupted by a clear female voice.
“Wait.”
Everyone looked toward a certain direction in unison, and they were all taken aback.
“Chu Liuyue, what are you doing here?” The teacher was initially frustrated by the interruption. But as soon as he saw Chu Liuyue, his tone became gentler.
Chu Liuyue smiled and replied, “I would like to participate in the warrior assessment.”
