Xue Fanxin slept until the sky lit up. When she woke up, she felt comfortable all over. Seeing Fuyun waiting by the side, she greeted her warmly, “Fuyun, good morning!”
“Good morning, Your Highness.” Fu Yun bowed and paid her respects obediently. Then, she led the maidservants to help Xue Fanxin wash up and change.
“There’s no need to go through so much trouble. I just need to brush my teeth and wash my face. You don’t have to find such annoying clothes. Take it easy.” Xue Fanxin saw the troublesome clothes and got someone to change them quickly.
She did not want to wear long skirts that dragged on the ground everywhere, especially when she was practicing martial arts. It was a burden.
Fuyun did as Xue Fanxin asked and found a light blue dress that reached her ankles. The style was a little simple, but the workmanship and the embroidery on the dress were all from the best tailors and embroiders in Heavenly Saints City. Every thread was worth thousands of gold.
How could Xue Fanxin understand the preciousness in her clothes? It was enough as long as she was comfortable. After washing up, she ate something simple and then continued practicing her sword in the courtyard. She wanted to comprehend the Xue You Sword Art before practicing it earnestly.
This time, her sword technique had an additional intent. It was as if she was in a place where snow was swirling about. The snowflakes here seemed to be alive. They could dance according to her will, and they could even transform into millions of ice swords that formed different formations.
It was just that her comprehension, strength, and knowledge were still insufficient. In the end, she only comprehended half a move from this intent realm.
However, even if it was only one move, the power could not be underestimated.
“Fuyun, why don’t you spar with me?” Xue Fanxin couldn’t wait to see how powerful her new moves were. She quickly found someone to spar with.
Fuyun was undoubtedly the most suitable person.
“Your Highness, swords have no eyes…” Fuyun hesitated. She did not have the courage to spar with Xue Fanxin. The Lord cared so much for the consort. If she accidentally hurt her, she would probably lose her life.
“I’s okay. Let’s not overdo it. I’ll take responsibility if anything happens. If Ye Jiushang dares to punish you, I’ll help you teach him a lesson. Come, come. Fight me and let me know what stage my strength is at.”
Fuyun was helpless. Under Xue Fanxin’s pestering, she had no choice but to fight. For safety reasons, she did not use a weapon, fighting with Xue Fanxin barehanded. She even suppressed her strength and attacked with propriety.
However, as they fought, she actually fell into a disadvantageous position. She had no choice but to release a little of her suppressed cultivation.
Xue Fanxin used the new move she had just leaned to fight against Fuyun. The Xue You Sword in her hand was like a phantom, and her entire body was covered in an icy aura that came from the sword. Under normal circumstances, it was impossible to approach and attack her. Only by breaking through
her defense could the other party launch an attack.
Was this really the strength a cultivator who had just entered the Spirit Building realm should have?
This strength clearly belonged to the Spirit Refinement Realm.
Fuyun was at the peak of the Spirit Refining Realm and had not entered the Spirit Transformation realm yet. However, Xue Fanxin could unleash the power comparable to a Spirit Refining Realm cultivator and managed to barely fight Fuyun to a draw.
If the consort had any other tricks up her sleeve, Fuyun would probably not be a match for her.
Fuyun employed all her skills, but she was still unable to defeat Xue Fanxin. Although she had the upper hand, she had not gained much.
The consort’s sword techniques were profound, and the sword in her hand was no ordinary item. She was really no match for her.
Xue Fanxin had gained some insights during her fight with Fuyun. Her sword aura became stronger and stronger as time passed. In her last strike, she gathered all her energy and actually forced Fuyun back more than ten steps, almost hurting her.
Fuyun could not bear the powerful sword aura and knelt on one knee, taking deep breaths to calm down. She looked at the person who had defeated her in disbelief.
She had actually been defeated by the consort when her cultivation level was more than a major realm higher than hers. No one would believe such a shocking outcome if they heard it..
