The sound of swords clashing resonated throughout the arena. The crowd was in antsy, constantly switches sides between Eiden the commoner and Yiwen the second son of a man of prestige. Bets were made on who would win, Yiwen was relentless but Eiden was unyielding.
With both of them attacking and parrying, it seemed they would likely keep at it for a while.
With all the info he got from studying Yiwen's moves, Eiden mostly targeted his left shoulder, constantly attacking at that direction. Yiwen would parry his attacks weakly but his goal wasn't to strike him yet, he would create an opening.
Finding one, Eiden, with a grunt launched a swift counterattack, aiming a precise strike at Yiwen's partially exposed shoulder. Yiwen, still transitioning between stances, was caught off guard by the sudden assault and couldn't defend against it.
