When they heard the score, they felt like their world was crumbling down. They had seen for themselves how the elders were giving a bad score for their performance. How come these two managed to earn so high?

"Guh, it's really that good?" Lu Wan clicked his tongue in annoyance. He couldn't stand seeing Chen Zi Quan got that good point.

"Yes, it is," Ye Jiao replied plainly. She could see how they managed to control their weapon and Eon Energy and utilise it perfectly. If only one of their attacks managed to get in, the other party would surely fall down. The force behind their seemingly simple movements was already more than enough.

"I'm jealous."

"Then you just have to make sure that you can perform better."

Right now, the spearmen and women have finished their tests. Elder Qian has moved to blade users. They were all just waiting for their turn patiently.

On the other hand, Elder Cai called Qi Huan and a stranger.

"Let's do this," the youngster roared and dashed towards Qi Huan's side.

Qi Huan was full of smiles as he put his sword in front of him. The moment the young man got close, he swiftly changed his stance and blocked. Before the young man could respond, he had sidestepped and changed the course of his sword.

Stab!

With Eon Energy covering the sword, it directly hit the young man's exposed shoulder. The young man's face changed greatly as he fell down to the ground, his expression showed disbelief.

"No way, h-how did you use Eon Energy?"

"I wonder," Qi Huan said calmly and sheathed the sword back. Since there was no actual sheath, he just acted as if there was one in his left hand.

"You…!"

"3 points and 10 points."

The crowd roared in surprise when they heard the score for Qi Huan's performance. They didn't expect to see someone get the perfect score so suddenly.

"Damn! I won't lose against him!" Lu Wan closed his eyes as he tried to review all the movements once again. Hearing that Qi Huan got the perfect score irked him even more, rather than when Chen Zi Quan got 9 points.

Not long after that, it was Wei Yin's turn. She also got 10 points, which caused a lot of people to be astonished. Thankfully, there were a few others who managed to get 7, 8, or 9 points aside from them even though there were still those painfully 4 or 3 points at times.

"Gao Yun and that person," Elder Cai called the first axe user.

Everyone immediately turned their head to look at Gao Yun. He was the only one who got his name directly called by the elders so far. Before this, no matter what, they would just point to the person they wished to call.

"Yes," Gao Yun beckoned for the one beside him to move forward.

Tak! Tak! Tak!

As it was wooden, the attacks were all producing the blunt sound. Everyone's eyes were looking at Gao Yun as the young man calmly defended himself and didn't counterattack. It took him one minute before he shifted his movements suddenly and twisted his axe above his head and hacked down.

Tak! Crack!

The young man's wooden axe was broken despite his attempt to block Gao Yun's attack. His face was grim.

"11 points and 8 points."

11?

Everyone was looking at the elders with astonishment. They didn't know that it was possible for them to score more than 10 points.

Qin Zheng looked at them. "The maximum point is 10 if you follow the books, but if you manage to improve the movements by yourself, you can get additional points."

"…" improve?

Many of them just wanted to cry when they heard Qin Zheng's words. Rather than trying to improve the martial arts, it would be safe to say that they just wished to get a decent score and not those pitiful numbers.

"Dagger user and that chain," Elder Qian called.

"Ah, ok."

Ye Jiao and Lu Wan stepped to the front. Lu Wan bowed down slightly before jerking his hand, throwing the blade straight to Ye Jiao's direction without any hesitation. Looking at the incoming blade, Ye Jiao swung her arm and diverted the attack to the other side while dashing to Lu Wan's direction.

However, this was not the first time, Lu Wan faced against someone who tried to attack him when his weapon was away. By twisting his arm's movements a bit, he changed the blade's direction and made it directed to Ye Jiao's back.

Tak!

As if knowing that the blade would come, Ye Jiao turned around midair and blocked the attack with her dagger perfectly. She jumped to the side right afterwards to avoid facing Lu Wan with her back.

"You're quick," Lu Wan murmured. He twisted his arm, and the chain movements changed again.

Before he could launch his attack, Ye Jiao dashed forward. The blade was heading to her direction, but Ye Jiao swung her hand and dagger.

Tang!

The crisp sound surprised them, but when they saw that Ye Jiao had dashed faster, they realized that she had arrived in front of Lu Wan. Her hand and dagger moved quickly and swung with its target being the young man's neck.

Swish! Bruk!

"You're ruthless," Lu Wan caressed his neck as he could feel the pain. Even though he was already covering his entire body with Eon Energy to block the attack, she didn't hesitate at all to attack his vital point.

"I know you won't die," Ye Jiao smiled.

Lu Wan arched his eyebrows and stood up. He still could feel his neck hurt, but he didn't say anything else.

"10 points and 10 points."

Hearing the score that he got, Lu Wan's eyes lit up. At the very least, he still managed to earn a perfect score despite having himself beaten up terribly by Ye Jiao. Speaking of the young girl. He didn't want to fight her again ever.

It was already more than enough.

"So even getting defeated didn't make you lose the score. It means that you're far worse than Ye Jiao?" Qi Huan asked with a teasing tone.

Lu Wan's face darkened. If he had been doing the movements correctly and still defeated, it just meant that their base ability has been completely different in the first place.

Argh!

He had to train harder!

Ye Jiao just chuckled and noticed that it was already the time for Han Fu's turn. That young man stepped at the front with his fan on his right arm. It was closed but positioned down with his thumbs at the front.

"You may begin."

The moment Elder Qian gave the permission, the young girl started to move. She opened her fan and swung it straight to Han Fu's neck.

Swish!

The fan didn't reach its target at all. Han Fu merely lowered his body with his fan still in its place. He smiled lightly and moved his body sideways. His movements were so smooth and soft that one might mistake him as a dancer.

"A young lady shouldn't point their weapon towards another man."

"You!"

Swish! Tep!

She swung her fan again, but her attack didn't reach anything but empty air. At the same time, Han Fu raised his arm, which was holding the fan and tapped the girl's chin. His movements looked slow, but it was actually happening within a split second.

"Naughty girl."

Brrr!

Somehow, the people who watched could feel shivers ran down their spine. The way Han Fu laughed was feminine, even his tone was slightly higher (which could be deducted because of his young age). Even though his words were like that, they just felt as if the one speaking was a woman.

"He's fierce!" Lu Wan was stunned. "I should learn how to seduce a woman from him."

"No, don't copy him."

"Why?"

Ye Jiao smiled bitterly. You dare to ask why? It was painfully clear that Han Fu himself seemed to be quite strange himself with that… girly attitude.

"11 points and 7 points."

"…" that man got 11 points?

Seeing Elder Qian just watched amusedly, all of them felt that their common sense was blown. That young man didn't even open his fan at all, alright! He was only acting girly and teasing that young girl!
