Having just contributed to an exhilarating duel, the instructor naturally agreed at this point, and the students, seated around them, once again burst into applause in anticipation of another exciting battle.
Zhang Junxue raised her head, locking eyes with Pei Ye, who widened his eyes slightly. With his wave of invitation, she quietly stepped up onto the ring with her sword, performing the initial salutation in a systematic and deliberate manner.
However, the outcome of the battle was unexpected - Pei Ye was defeated by the ninth move.
This result surprised many people - the spectators below started whispering amongst themselves.
The instructor, after a moment of astoundment, shook his head and chuckled.
In fact, Pei Ye's defeat was not entirely unexpected. During previous practice sessions with Zhang Junxue, she had clearly outperformed him. Even though he is now in the dual-life realm, the gap between the numbers two and four compared to 16 is not significant.
