Chapter 201: Frail man

Fang Zhengzhi stared at Xing Qingsui, not speaking.

In actual fact, he had not had any interaction with Xing Qingsui. He had only heard about this person from Yan Xiu. They had not really met in both the Theory or Combat Examinations.

However, from Xing Qingsui’s rising Battle Spirit, he could sense that this man had the same crazed Battle Spirit and technique of the Stabilisation Constabulary.

Perhaps...

This was how the people of the Stabilisation Constabulary fought.

Go against the current and end up losing ground.

Realizing the Dao of all Creation in battle allowed one to get used to the heat of conflict.

"Boom!"

Xing Qingsui’s Meteor black sword clashed with the Blazing Qilin Spear once again.

This was the fifth time these weapons had clashed.

Countless sharp auras flew around the two of them. Smashed rocks and broken swords circled the two as they fought.

But this time.

Xing Qingsui retreated less than three meters.

The retreating candidates were all stunned by the intense battle. No one had expected the battle between Xing Qingsui and Ping Yang to turn out this way.

Clashing head on?!

Ping Yang’s Blazing Qilin Spear continued to glow as columns of flame shot skyward.

However, Fang Zhengzhi realized that Ping Yang’s chest was heaving, her dainty lips panting.

The Blazing Qilin Spear was one of the ten greatest treasures of the Great Xia Dynasty.

However, if the person using it was not strong enough, then wielding it will also take its toll.

This was the case for everything. Even medicine has side effects.

Ping Yang was only at the pinnacle of the Star Conglomerate State. Each use of the Blazing Qilin Spear took more and more energy out of her.

This was not advantageous for her.

However, with Xing Qingsui going head on against her, she was in the most advantageous position possible.

As such, she did not consider a roaming battle with Xing Qingsui.

The battle raged on.

Xing Qingsui was clearly panting more than Ping Yang. His chest heaved with each breath. He was sweating so profusely his shirt stuck to his back.

However, he held his blade steady.

No matter how deep his footprint, no matter how tired he was, the hand holding his sword was always calm and steady.

"Fight!" Xing Qingsui charged forward once again.

Ping Yang stabbed with her Blazing Qilin Spear.

Columns of flame shot skyward once again. Xing Qingsui used his Battle Spirit to slice open the sea of fire once again. Then, he struck with the Meteor sword.

"Boom!"

Unsurprisingly, the sword clashed with the golden light.

This was something within everybody’s expectations.

However, what they did not expect was that this time, Xing Qingsui was not immediately thrown backwards. After the weapons clashed, he still managed to complete his strike.

"Boom!"

The golden light shimmered and an aura exploded from the clash.

The two of them flew backwards.

The distance was four meters.

Even further than the previous hit.

Then, everyone was shocked. They were all in disbelief. Of the four meters of separation, one was caused by Ping Yang retreating.

This was the first time Ping Yang had been thrown backwards in the entire battle.

Xing Qingsui had retreated a mere three meters, no different from the past five times.

"He actually managed to push Ping Yang back after going head to head?!"

"That’s quite unbelievable!"

All of the candidates could not believe their eyes.

Ping Yang could not believe it either. This was the first time her eyes glowed with surprise.

Just now.

She had expected it to play out like the previous few times.

However, her expectations were shattered by the blow from Xing Qingsui.

She had never expected him to have the energy to continue the strike. He should have been thrown back.

That was what everyone expected.

Everyone except Fang Zhengzhi and Yan Xiu.

"What do you think?" Fang Zhengzhi asked.

"It’s difficult." Yan Xiu shook his head slightly.

Fang Zhengzhi’s question and Yan Xiu’s answer were incredibly vague.

However, they understood each other perfectly.

Fang Zhengzhi and Yan Xiu continued to discuss the battle whilst Ping Yang raged. If she could not defeat Xing Qingsui with the Blazing Qilin Spear, how was she going to defeat Fang Zhengzhi and top the combat examinations?

As such, she was about to go crazy.

She lunged.

Almost like she had been set on fire.

Xing Qingsui did not retreat. His eyes glowed like a beast as he gripped his sword tightly.

"Boom boom boom..."

The weapons clashed repeatedly.

Ping Yang attacked with the Blazing Qilin Spear over and over again.

Columns of flames shot skyward as the golden glow homed in on Xing Qingsui, flickering as it circled his body.

Everytime the golden light got close to him, his blade was there to block it.

Ping Yang advanced bit by bit.

Every step she took was labored. Each time she pushed Xing Qingsui back, he would quickly recover and lunge forward, making it difficult for her to suppress him.

Xing Qingsui was still calm as he fought, a strong will fueling him.

Even though he was sweating profusely and his clothes had been shredded by the battle, he didn’t seem to care.

He clashed with the Blazing Qilin Spear repeatedly.

He did not even dodge a single time.

The battle between the two heated up. It got so intense even the candidates on the rock stopped fighting.

All of them stared at the two battling figures.

They all wanted to know how this intense battle would turn out.

Only a few knew that this white hot battle was already coming to an end.

The few of them included Fang Zhengzhi, Yan Xiu, Nangong Mu, and a middle aged man standing closest to the battle.

He wore a very workaday attire. He looked quite frail, and had a scar on his neck that seemed to fade in and out of view.

Weirdly, his clothes were very clean.

He wore a blue long sleeved shirt that was almost as clean as the one Fang Zhengzhi wore. It was almost as if he hadn’t been in battle.
