Chapter 116 Collision
The sun had yet to set.
On the Grand Training Ground, the first match of the main round of the Martial Arts Tournament was in full swing.
Surprisingly, Namgung Sol was controlling the flow of the duel. Their Azure Sky Flying Swallow Sword Art forms, light and agile, weaved and bent with their Swallow Swirl Footwork.
The azure Sword Qi clinging to their blade left brilliant afterimages, a clear sign of their recent entry into the Peak Transcendence Master realm.
And if one were to be swayed by that splendor, losing their stance, they would surely face the swift descent of a swallow.
But such a thing would not happen. Among those watching this Martial Arts Duel, anyone with a deep understanding of Martial Arts would know: while Namgung Sol might be dictating the flow, it was Song Chae-ji who truly controlled the duel itself.
Her defense is too solid. I can’t break through!
Namgung Sol circled Song Chae-ji with their Swallow Swirl Footwork, searching for an opening, but found none.
The Hengshan Sect’s Sword Art was fundamentally a Defensive Sword style, centered on defense. In particular, the defensive power of the Profound Heaven Indestructible Sword, a secret ultimate technique passed down to main branch disciples, was considered one of the best in the Jianghu.
For the still-inexperienced Namgung Sol, breaking through it was no easy feat.
Of course, Song Chae-ji’s defense wasn’t perfect. A Master superior to her—even without going as far as Namgung-woo, someone like Peng Ha-ryeong or Geumsin—would surely find a weak point in her defense and attempt to exploit it with a precise strike.
