The lecture was over, and next came an hour of exercise and sparring.
During the sparring, Pei Ye and Zhang Junxue had two rounds, but neither was victorious. However, they turned around and saw Xiao Qiu standing by with his sword down, waiting.
The man saw Pei Ye looking over and bowed his fist to invite him.
Pei Ye asked Zhang Junxue, the girl had no objections, so he took his sword and sparred with Xiao Qiu.
He still won the two rounds by defeating strength with cunning.
The two of them put away their swords, smiled at each other, but Xiao Qiu's smile was rather forced, while Pei Ye's smile was genuine.
— He confirmed once again, his victory over Xiao Qiu yesterday was not the kind of "fortune comes with the heavens," like he did against Wu Zaigu, but was a steady and solid manifestation of his strength.
