Starry Sky, I can hear their secrets

"If he loses, the money he loses will be deducted from his salary in installments in the future."

Hearing this, many craftsmen in the Engineering Department breathed a sigh of relief.

Su Jinyan said weakly: "Master Fu Xuan, I'm afraid my salary in this lifetime is not enough for you to deduct."

Fu Xuan's eyes were calm: "It's okay, the extra amount will be deducted from Qingque's salary."

"If you don't want to implicate Qingque, then compete properly."

Su Jinyan's eyes lit up: "Great, can I admit defeat?"

"It doesn't matter whether it's money or not. I just want to see what Qingque looks like when his salary is deducted."

Yan Qing: “?”

Fu Xuan: "?"

Tingyun's eyes were subtle. Oh, I hope my benefactor won't leave any psychological trauma on this child later.

……

Luofu, the martial arts arena.

Yan Qing was full of awe and said coldly, "Show us your sword. Today, we will compete to see who is better. I want to see how capable you are."

There was an unfathomable smile on Su Jinyan's lips:

"Little brother Yanqing, as your senior, I can let you draw your sword first."

Yan Qing: “?”

Why is this guy so infuriating?

Yan Qing's eyes gradually turned colder, and his momentum suddenly increased: "The sword follows my heart!"

The loud whistling of swords resounded through the sky. Several flying swords hung high in the air. The sword intent was extremely sharp, and they shot towards where Su Jinyan was.

Su Jinyan's expression was neither hurried nor slow. He waited until the flying sword attacked him, then he whispered softly, "True Word: Shield."

The dazzling holy light instantly enveloped his body, blocking all the attacking flying swords.

The gorgeous sword light and the indestructible holy shield kept colliding, making the sound of metal clashing, and the sound of tinkling was endless, which was very pleasant to hear.

Yan Qing was stunned and almost forgot to control the flying sword. For a moment, the attack of the flying sword slowed down: "What is that?"

Su Jinyan smiled but said nothing. [Power Word: Shield] was his signature life-saving skill as a priest.

This skill is enough to protect him from high damage for fifteen seconds.

The limit of damage is the full-strength attack that the Wutai Jinren Simen can burst out in an instant.

Resisting these flying swords is naturally no problem.

Su Jinyan chuckled and walked forward: "Little brother, you wouldn't have imagined me to be a swordsman based on your preconceived ideas, right?"

"Let me introduce myself. My name is Su Jinyan."

"I used to be a priest who focused on saving lives and healing the wounded. Now I am a small fortune teller in the Taibusi."

Yan Qing's eyes shone, and he controlled his flying sword to turn back: "It seems that I underestimated you. From now on, the test will end here."

As soon as he finished speaking, a violent cold wind blew in, like countless knives cutting into pieces.

If an ordinary person stood here, he would instantly fall into an extremely cold purgatory.

Yan Qing's sword force will freeze them into ice sculptures bit by bit until they are reduced to powder.

But I'm sorry, having [Advanced Cold Resistance] means you can be so willful.

He didn't even need to hide, he just needed to put on a show and with Yan Qing's impulsive personality, he would take the bait.

At this moment, the holy shield surrounding Su Jinyan began to dim and crack.

Su Jinyan's eyelids twitched, as if he had not expected Yan Qing to unleash such a strong sword force.

"Oh no, how come he's so strong?"

Su Jinyan's face changed drastically. He chanted the spell in a panic and re-shielded himself, seeming to be at a loss.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, a gleam of light flashed in Yan Qing's eyes, and a strong sword force suddenly burst out from his body.

Then, he came over on his sword like a flying swallow.

"Take that, Ten Thousand Swords, Heaven Comes!"

Chapter 20: Tingyun: I am better than you

The sharp flying sword follows like a shadow.

Under Yan Qing's control, the six flying swords seemed to transform into millions of sword blades in an instant, howling and coming with the cold wind.

The martial arts arena was filled with wind and snow, obscuring the figures of the two people.

Yan Qing couldn't help but smile with joy, certain that Su Jinyan would be defeated by his unique skills.

As soon as this move was made, the craftsmen of the Engineering Department knew that the outcome was decided, and they all shook their heads and sighed.

Under such a fierce sword storm, this guy not only did not run away, but stood there and waited.

This guy is too arrogant.

Doesn't he know what kind of sword genius he is facing?

I can only pray that this person is not hurt too badly by Yan Qing, otherwise it will be difficult to explain to the general later.

Fu Xuan opened his lips lightly: "The outcome is decided."

Master Gongshu laughed and said, "That's right."

"No matter how many times I watch it, Young Master Yanqing's swordsmanship is always so pleasing to the eye."

"Fu Taibu, you should contact the doctor from Dan Ding Division as soon as possible."

"Lest anything happen to that young fortune teller in your Taibusi."

Fu Xuan looked at him puzzledly: "When did I say that Yanqing would win?"

Master Gongshu: “?”

Fu Xuan frowned and said, "Do you want me to explain it to you again?"

"Yan Qing lost to Su Jinyan because he underestimated his opponent?"

Tingyun shook the bell and chuckled, "Every failure makes you wiser."

"It's better to suffer a loss in the martial arts arena than on the battlefield."

Master Gongshu was confused: "What are you talking about?"

"This is obviously a huge advantage for Young Master Yanqing. How could he lose by riding a dragon on his face?"

At this moment, there was a sudden sound of intense collision and friction on the training ground.

Bang bang bang bang bang——

The violent collision was deafening.

The shield, which was dull and cracked just now, instantly shone with golden light and blocked all the tens of millions of flying swords that were attacking.

[The skill proficiency of Power Word: Shield (LV3) increased by 20, and the current proficiency is 300/475. ]

The smile on Yan Qing's lips froze.

When exactly?

Su Jinyan raised his fingertips and pointed them at Yan Qing's forehead, and rich shadow energy gathered in an instant.

Even if Yan Qing wanted to dodge, he was powerless.

If he tried to stop the sword forcefully, he would suffer a backlash.

The next moment, millions of flying swords shattered.

Then it transformed into six dim flying swords, falling to the ground one after another.

The violent snowstorm also dissipated at this moment.

Yan Qing covered his head in pain, trying hard not to scream.

[The skill proficiency of Mind Whip (LV5) increased by 10, and the current proficiency is 1320/1320. ]

[Mind Whip has been upgraded to LV6, with a new effect: When using Mind Whip on an enemy that is controlled by the mind, it can make them forget the memory of being controlled.]

Yanqing's head was aching terribly now.

It was as if Rong Mama had learned the art of multiple shadow clones, and she created thousands of shadow clones, shouting in unison: "Recruit or not?!"

This move is called Mind Flay, and the caster uses shadow energy to attack the target's mind.

It causes the creature to suffer continuous mental damage within three seconds and is often used against creatures with strong bodies but fragile minds.

If the enemy is already prepared, it often has little effect.

But when there is information asymmetry, it can work wonders when used, just like it is now.

Taking advantage of Yan Qing's trance, Su Jinyan stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder: "You lose, little brother Yan Qing."

"I...I actually lost..."

Yan Qing had a bitter look on his face. If he were on the battlefield, he would have met with an accident by now.

He usually studies hard and has superb swordsmanship.

He even achieved an excellent record of beheading the three Nest Fathers of Bu Liren and sinking the Wing Maker's Nayun Ship.

Therefore, he was highly praised in the streets and alleys of Luofu, which made Yan Qing show his talent and not know how to restrain himself.

However, after this battle, Yan Qing realized that he still had a lot to learn.

There are many key factors that determine victory or defeat on the battlefield.

The reason for his defeat today was his mentality. He underestimated his enemy, which was the main reason for his loss.

Su Jinyan had obviously revealed his flaws to him on purpose just now.

But he believed it to be true. If he had been more cautious, he would not have lost to him.

Su Jinyan smiled and gently comforted him:

"Little brother Yanqing, are you sad about something?"

Yan Qing glanced at him and asked, "You're asking even though you already know the answer."

Su Jinyan: "If you have something sad, you might as well talk to me."

"Look, I just won the game and I'm very happy now."

Yan Qing: “?”

Please, can you be a human being?

Yan Qing let out a long breath and bowed, saying, "Yan Qing is willing to admit defeat. Teacher, please accept Yan Qing's greetings."

Su Jinyan nodded with satisfaction: "Yanqing, to be honest, you actually fought pretty well."

"But do you want to know what the difference was between you and me in that battle just now?"

Yan Qing humbly asked for advice: "Teacher, what's wrong?"

After returning, Yanqing will also review this battle.

But if Su Jinyan could point out the shortcomings that he couldn't see, that would be icing on the cake for him.

Su Jinyan said seriously: "It's a far cry from that."

Yan Qing couldn't hold it anymore. Look at what you are saying. Is this even human language?

Su Jinyan: "Just kidding, actually as long as you keep a calm mind, you may not be the loser in the end."

Yan Qing nodded. Joking aside, he could afford to lose and let it go.

The two of them can be said to have known each other through fighting.

After this battle, the stiff and unfamiliar relationship was eased a lot.
