Chapter 106 Preliminary Round
The Martial Arts Duel began the moment Namgung Sol declared her full power.
Contrary to the audience’s expectations for a fierce battle, both combatants moved cautiously.
While Yang Geon-oh had spoken disparagingly of Namgung Sol, it was merely a provocation tactic, not a sign of carelessness on his part.
‘The Azure Sword Emperor was in seclusion for ten days. The fact that he accepted her immediately upon arriving in Luoyang means they must have had a connection from before. In that case, he must have taught her a trump card or two….’
‘She’s a Peak Transcendence Master. Her aura feels similar to Young Hero Yang Jeong. I can tell from our many sparring matches.’
Both of their minds were busy analyzing their opponent.
And such analysis wasn’t limited to inside the arena.
“This might be a bit difficult.”
Peng Ha-ryeong had now reached a level where she could gauge the skill of other Peak Transcendence Masters.
While Zhuge Seon-a, who still lacked such discerning eyes, was forced into silent meditation, Peng Ha-ryeong continued.
“Her opponent is incredibly calm. Conversely, Junior Sister seems emotionally shaken. It appears the provocation tactic worked.”
“Y-you can see that? From my perspective, they both seem to be calmly looking for an opening…”
“Can’t you feel it with your Resonance Power?”
“Ah, my Resonance Power tends to focus solely on a larger force if there’s one nearby…”
