The corners of Fu Shi's lips curved into a confident smile, thinking, 'I know the plot, this bet's in the bag.'
-----------------------------------
Right after the two made the bet, Li Sushang moved in the scene. However, judging from the fight, it seemed the result of the bet leaned more toward Li Sushang.
[In the scene, after an intense clash between Li Sushang and Fu Hua, they stood facing each other, the tension in the air nearly solidified.
On the surface, the fight seemed fierce and dangerous, but in reality, both sides were holding back, not using their full strength.
After all, the two were already thoroughly familiar with each other's moves; every strike and every counter was within expectations. Despite the battle looking thrilling, there was no real danger.
In the stalemate, the passage of time didn't matter much to Li Sushang, but for Fu Hua, who was in a hurry to reach Kiana☆, every second counted.]
Li Sushang, 〈In this situation, I wonder how Master will respond.〉
Cheng Lixue, 〈So… so strong, she's actually evenly matched with Master.〉
Fu Shi, 〈You're not bad either. Keep practicing diligently, and break through to the Heart Realm soon.〉
Cheng Lixue, 〈Fu Shi, I will work hard!〉
[Shenzhou Tablet]Fu Hua, 〈Work and rest in balance, don't push yourself. If there's something you don't understand, you can come to me.〉
Cheng Lixue couldn't help feeling overjoyed and quickly said, 〈Yes! This disciple will remember Master's teaching.〉
[Fu Hua thought for a moment and came up with a plan, to lure Li Sushang into using the Blade of Taixuan technique, then find a way to neutralize it.
Thus, while deftly dodging Li Sushang's fierce sword, Fu Hua quickened her punches, her offensive becoming increasingly swift and fierce.
For a moment, Li Sushang found it difficult to cope. Seeing the opportunity, Fu Hua said that if she insisted on leaving, Li Sushang wouldn't be able to stop her.
Hearing this, Li Sushang lowered her gaze to her own wrist, checking if it was trembling slightly from the exchange just now. All sorts of thoughts surged in her mind.
Seeing the effect take hold, Fu Hua kept pressing, saying that if they didn't finish the fight quickly, she would find a way to shake her off and leave.
Li Sushang froze on the spot, her expression full of surprise, and said that such an act violated the rules.
Fu Hua put on a look of feigned difficulty and said, word by word, that she would go all out with her next strike, and without showing her trump card, her life would be in danger.]
Fu Shi teased, 〈Hey, all those little schemes in the old antique's mind have been completely exposed by the livestream! Go on and sweet-talk her! Sweet-talk her so well she almost believes you, better than my powers.〉
Fu Ming also teased, "I suspect the old antique secretly used Fenghuang Down to subconsciously guide Li Sushang into believing what she said."
Fu Shi agreed, 〈That possibility can't be ruled out.〉
[Shenzhou Tablet]Fu Hua, 〈At that time, I probably no longer had Fenghuang Down, otherwise during the Herrscher of Domination incident, why would I have needed to trick… borrow Fu Shi's power.〉
Fu Shi, 〈Old antique! You just wanted to say "trick," didn't you?!〉
[Shenzhou Tablet]Fu Hua, 〈You saw wrong.〉
Kiana, 〈Squad leader always gives the impression of being calm, composed, and resolute. If it were me, I'd also believe she was serious.〉
Li Sushang's heart wavered, 〈Master actually tricked me… In the video, am I really going to use the Blade of Taixuan? Or does Master truly have the confidence to neutralize that move?〉
Bronya, 〈Bronya remembers squad leader said Blade of Taixuan can't be blocked. She really won't be in danger, will she?〉
[Miss Lily]Otto laughed loudly, 〈Hahahaha, she never does things she's not sure of. Perhaps old friend really has a way to deal with it, don't worry.〉
[Shenzhou Tablet]Fu Hua, 〈…I think I know how the me in the video should neutralize that move. I just hope my body can withstand it.〉
Einstein, 〈Understood.〉
[Magical Girl]Theresa, 〈Understood what?〉
[Miss Lily]Otto, 〈Theresa, this strike is indeed unstoppable, just like the Celestial Immortal said, but she never said it couldn't be taken head-on.〉
[Shenzhou Tablet]Fu Hua, 〈As Otto said, the me in the video is planning to take this move with my body. Specifically, first do this, then that, and finally achieve the goal.〉
Everyone, 〈???〉
Li Sushang, 〈Master, don't talk like Rakshasa, it's too roundabout, I can't understand a thing!〉
[Shenzhou Tablet]Fu Hua, 〈Uh, never mind.〉
[Li Sushang's figure floated lightly, slowly rising into midair. She formed a sword-hand seal with one hand and held it before her. At the same time, a black diamond-shaped mark gradually condensed at her brow.
In an instant, the Blade of Taixuan roared down from the sky, aimed directly at Fu Hua's forehead.
Fu Hua neither dodged nor avoided, focusing her energy and mind, having already prepared a foolproof countermeasure.
The scene shifted to a bright, crystal-clear, pure lake.
Fu Hua sighed deeply in her heart.
She had won the bet…]
Fu Shi, 〈Little Li, you used the Blade of Taixuan, haha, I win! Remember to go to Schicksal Plaza and shout "Long live the great Lady of the Herrscher of Sentience" ten times.〉
Li Sushang, 〈I admit my loss, but what's with "Little Li"? It feels like the way an emperor's eunuch would be called. Can you change it?〉
Fu Shi, 〈Then don't call me Fu Shi, and I won't call you Little Li.〉
Li Sushang, 〈Uh, but everyone calls you that.〉
Fu Shi, 〈...〉
[…Afterward, at the viewing platform, the waves were calm.
From form to intent, the Blade of Taixuan that had been drawn into everything no longer existed.
In Fu Hua's hand, the black-and-gold gauntlet emitted a beam of solid-looking light, which then turned to dust.
Li Sushang watched the scene in surprise.
The full-force use of the Blade of Taixuan had consumed her qi and stamina, leaving her cheeks slightly flushed and her chest rising and falling.
Even so, it couldn't hide the amazement in her eyes.
Then, the two clashed again, but this time, it was purely a contest of skill.]
Elysia, 〈No matter how many times I see it, it's always so spectacular~?〉
Kevin, 〈Cool~〉
Su, 〈Kevin, don't you have any other compliments?〉
Kevin, 〈…Handsome!〉
Kiana, 〈Squad leader, I've never asked you for anything in my life, but please teach me that move!〉
[Shenzhou Tablet]Fu Hua, 〈If you want to learn, I'll teach you, but how much you master depends on yourself.〉
Mei, 〈Squad leader, I want to learn too.〉
[Shenzhou Tablet]Fu Hua, 〈Bronya, do you want to join as well?〉
Bronya, 〈Bronya will pass. This doesn't suit Bronya.〉
[Sit-ups King]Welt, 〈Celestial Immortal, I'll guide Bronya instead.〉
[Sit-ups King]Welt, 〈Although my Herrscher power has been enhanced by the livestream's rewards, Bronya is still more suited to being the Herrscher of Reason than I am.〉
[Shenzhou Tablet]Fu Hua, 〈Then I'll trouble Mr. Welt.〉
[Sit-ups King]Welt said with emotion, 〈It's no trouble, they were my students to begin with. Has Kiana passed history yet?〉
Kiana, 〈…〉
…
Li Sushang, 〈Master actually neutralized the Blade of Taixuan. As expected, defeating Master is still far too difficult.〉
Kiana, 〈Oh-ho! Squad leader won! Squad leader tanked the Blade of Taixuan!〉
