Chapter 603: Chapter 603

Both had a high level of control over their strength, and although the room wasn't big, they didn't damage any objects.

Anna and Chen Suyi sat on the bed watching the two fight, but they were not idle either.

"Anyway, I think my brother will definitely win. He's the strongest," Anna said while cracking sunflower seeds.

"Tsk! Blind flattery is not advisable. Ruyue has been practicing hard in the deep mountains for six years, and his swordsmanship has already reached the pinnacle. Xu Hao is strong, but at the same level, I favor Ruyue more!" Chen Suyi gave Xu Hao a fierce look, then added.

She really wanted Ruyue to win and then teach Xu Hao a severe lesson on her behalf.

Xu Hao was too heavy-handed with her, clearly showing no mercy for the fairer sex.

How could he be so ruthless to such a beautiful girl like her!

"Wanna make a bet?" Anna asked.

"If Brother wins, then you have to do something for me, no matter the occasion, no matter the time. If Ruyue wins, then I'll do the same," Anna said with wide, somewhat dazed eyes.

"That's fine, but it has to be something that doesn't go against my own will," Chen Suyi cautiously replied.

"That won't do. If you add restrictions, it's not fun at all. It's only interesting without any restrictions, more thrilling! Do you dare to bet with me?!" Anna immediately rebutted Chen Suyi's request.

Chen Suyi was momentarily stunned. What's with this girl, taking such a big gamble? Isn't she afraid that if Ruyue wins, I'll make her do something really embarrassing?

Chen Suyi looked at the somewhat dazed Anna. She wouldn't be fooled by Anna's dazed appearance. The more Anna acted , the more cautious Chen Suyi grew, feeling that something was amiss.

However, Anna immediately continued, "Are you scared? It seems like you're not rooting for Ruyue. Look, Ruyue, Chen Suyi doesn't believe in you. Why are you still fighting? Stop, stop..."

Chen Suyi was extremely exasperated. Anna was nothing but a troublemaker, delighting in making mischief. Yet when she acted cute, she was so adorable, making you both frustrated and amused at the same time.

Chen Suyi had no choice but to say, "Alright, alright, I'll go along with it. I just don't think Xu Hao can win anyway."

"Hehe, let's wait and see then!" Anna was clearly very confident in Xu Hao, not worried in the least.

Xu Hao glanced at Anna and Chen Suyi and noticed Anna winking at him, signaling that he must win!

What kind of scheme was this girl plotting?

Xu Hao wondered, but his movements didn't cease. His assault grew faster, forcing Ruyue to defend with all his might.

In the end, Xu Hao spoke calmly, "When I start paying attention to the speed, strength, and direction of your sword swings, it means you have already lost. How could you let someone catch on to your sword style? Your techniques are good, and the person who created this set of moves clearly has talent. But you haven't used it well, you're too bound by the routine.

The sword must be ever-changing, showing dexterity is the core of swordplay, making it impossible for others to fathom what you will do next. You wield a Soft Sword which should particularly embody this philosophy. Otherwise, you might as well use a broadsword!"

Having said that, Xu Hao suddenly thrust the lamp pole in his hand. Ruyue quickly protected his chest where the lamp pole was aimed, but to his shock, Xu Hao's arm vibrated, and the seemingly rigid pole bent as if it were flexible, sliding tightly along Ruyue's arm to his elbow joint.

If Xu Hao had exerted just a bit more force, he would've pierced through Ruyue's elbow, rendering the arm highly vulnerable during future exchanges.

Thankfully, Xu Hao promptly pulled back.

He withdrew the lamp pole and tossed it aside, where it stuck into the distance.

Ruyue stood there, looking dazed and somewhat at a loss. Suddenly, he lifted his head and bowed, "Thank you for showing mercy! From now on, after I leave the mountain, I will follow your commands every day that I am weaker than you!"

Xu Hao smiled faintly and said, "You don't have to be discouraged either. Your strength and insight are both good. If you practice diligently, reaching the Grandmaster Level is only a matter of time. My victory over you probably comes from the fact that my strength was always stronger, being at the Grandmaster Level, allowing me to see problems that others can't."

At this moment, Chen Suyi was dumbfounded; Ruyue had actually been defeated!

The formidable him was defeated by Xu Hao, who was of the same rank!

Anna, on the other side, placed her arm on Chen Suyi's shoulder, leaned in close to her ear, and giggled, "Sister Suyi, you've got to honor the bet!"

Chen Suyi was still somewhat dazed, not fully grasping the situation. Ruyue had lost so thoroughly that even an outsider like her could tell Xu Hao's last move could have crippled that arm.
