I tried to savor the moment of my first fight against a Xin artist so I didn't attack and only dodged
I learned a lot from my fight with Dang Fen who was much harder to fight than most of the Jin artists i encountered in the Qianli sect
If I had to compare it then it was like playing a game of western chess and then suddenly learning to play eastern Go
When fighting a Jin artist all attacks are usually coming from your enemy and as long as you face them then it is easy to defend against
But when fighting a Xin artist attacks can come from any direction, this was difficult as I had to change my movement patterns
In the end I was careless and crashed into a stone wall he had summoned, luckily it wasn't very durable and didn't stop me
Another thing that surprised me was the sudden flash of light which nearly blinded me, if not for my Sword Heart talent and perception talent I could have been seriously injured, of course thanks to my healing talent I could recover within minutes and didn't have to be so worried
When I drew my sword it was as if time had stopped, in my mind I could hear thousands of sounds rushing towards me, with a twist of my wrist I swung the sword at a very high speed and blocked all the incoming projectiles
Without realizing I had already lunged forward and held my sword to the boys neck, it's a shame that I had to fight him as I gained a really good talent from him
Now I had lvl 6 mentality talent and a lvl 5 Pacifica talent
The Pacifica talent allowed me to have a much deeper pool to store Li within my Mind which meant I could use it for much longer
And with the lvl 6 mentality talent I would have smooth sailing in my training of Xin arts
With a jump I left the stage after my victory and returned to where the the Qianli sect was, I had already copied all the talents of the Mindar sect disciples that had come to participate so I had nothing else to do
Later on I walked through the crowd of viewers in search of talents but unfortunately I found nothing that could help me
All I found was normal talents such as a lvl 1 Valiant talent which helped improve my mood when I was in battle, this was actually a bad thing as I had recently been becoming battle crazy and didn't need any more temptations or I would turn into a madman, luckily I know how to control myself or otherwise I would have many people who hold grudges against me
When I returned back to where the other disciples were I heard an interesting announcement
"Next up! Feng Li VS Shi Tian"
Seeing the familiar face on stage I couldn't help but cheer
"Feng Li! Fight hard!"
This was naturally the boy I had met when I took the wagon before I came to Fenglo City, back then he only had a lvl 1 perception talent and now he seems to somehow become a direct disciple
Upon seeing me cheer for the enemy Shi Tian's face contorted with anger as a Hideous expression with bulging vains made him look like a some nightmarish creature
Feng Li didn't seem to recognize me at first but after a moment I saw an expression of realization appear on his face as he gave a smile and waved back
When Feng Li turned back to face his opponent he nearly jumped off the stage in fright upon seeing his face
"whew, you scared me, I thought you were some kind of ghost"
Feng Li said as Shi Tian's face contorted further as he took that as an insult
