Chapter 622: Chapter 622: A Draw
Maybe it was because Tang Yu's words were too bold.
Ning Qingyan, after hearing this, was stunned for a moment, even doubting her own ears. Then, she confirmed again:
"What did you just say?"
"I said that we can use a more friendly method, without damaging our relationship or our clothes, to resolve this. That is, wrestling."
Tang Yu rubbed his hands, feeling somewhat embarrassed.
Although talking like this might make him seem like a pervert, he really didn't want to make enemies.
On the side, Nangong Ying looked at him with wide eyes.
What the hell is this guy planning?
After confirming once more that she hadn't heard wrong, Ning Qingyan was even more confused, and then, she became enraged.
"I knew you were a degenerate from the Hehuan Sect! Shameless, vulgar, and vile bastard!"
"Who are you calling a degenerate? Why does being from the Hehuan Sect make me one? Are the people from your Maiden Sect pure and immaculate?"
Hearing Ning Qingyan repeatedly say "degenerate from the Hehuan Sect," Nangong Ying started to get impatient, and with a look of disgust, intervened:
"Also, what's the point of bullying my younger brother? He's only been cultivating for a month, and you, the young master of the Maiden Sect, dare to brag?"
Nangong Ying still had a clear impression of Ning Qingyan.
She was Fang Meiyun's direct disciple and one of the prodigious cultivators that the Maiden Sect was training with priority.
If she reached the required level, it was almost certain she would be the next leader of the sect.
However, as for cultivation level...
Both she and Ning Qingyan were at the mid-stage of the Yuan Ying Realm. If they really fought, the result was uncertain.
"Exactly! What's the point of bullying someone who just started cultivating? If your Maiden Sect is so upright and honorable, then come and wrestle with my older sister."
Tang Yu, on the side, expressed his full agreement.
He loved seeing girls fight, tearing their clothes and ripping their skirts.
"Shameless!"
Hearing Tang Yu insist on wrestling, Ning Qingyan almost drew her sword to cut him right there.
Nangong Ying also blushed slightly and gave him a warning look: "Younger brother!"
"I'm just destabilizing her mental state."
Tang Yu quickly sent a telepathic message to Nangong Ying so she wouldn't misunderstand him as a pervert.
After hearing his explanation, Nangong Ying's face regained calm. She glanced at Ning Qingyan and was about to take Tang Yu away.
The Maiden Sect girls are all crazy!
She wanted to drag Tang Yu out of there, but Ning Qingyan refused to let them go.
She had come to the Treasure Tower for some matters.
However, a friend had informed her that the famous prodigy from the Hehuan Sect, Tang Yu, was there representing his sect.
So, she decided to stay and wait for him, intending to avenge her master.
That damn story had spread all over the southern Nine Heavens Continent.
Because of that bastard, the reputation of her master and the Maiden Sect of Jade had been ruined.
Seeing that she insisted on getting in their way, Nangong Ying sent a telepathic message to Tang Yu.
"Younger brother, if this keeps going, accept the challenge, pretend to fight her, and I'll attack her by surprise. What do you think if we hit her together?"
Getting close to Tang Yu had taught her a few tricks.
Tang Yu smiled and shook his head.
It was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for a Maiden Sect girl to come looking for trouble.
Hitting her and leaving would be a loss.
But if he could get the young master of the Maiden Sect to join the Hehuan Sect...
Hehehe...
Tang Yu showed a friendly smile and looked at Ning Qingyan.
"If you want to fight me, no problem. I'll accept your terms. But tell me something, if you're so bent on avenging your master, is it because you think that old witch was wronged?"
"Of course! My master has been completely humiliated by you! Everyone is seeing those filthy paintings you made!"
Ning Qingyan was furious. To her, her master was like a mother.
But because of that damn painting, her master had completely changed in recent times.
To solve this problem, the only option was to eradicate the painting once and for all.
"Then why, when your master insulted me, didn't you think I was being wronged?"
Tang Yu countered.
"Why would my master insult you?"
"Because I refused to join the Maiden Sect and chose the Hehuan Sect. She called me a lustful bastard and many other things. Everyone present heard it."
"That... that was because our sect and yours don't get along. My master just has prejudices against the Hehuan Sect."
Tang Yu's words made Ning Qingyan lose confidence.
"So she can insult me and ruin my reputation, but I can't draw something to humiliate her? Is your Maiden Sect not applying a double standard?"
Tang Yu looked at her with disdain and asked.
"Exactly, exactly. Even though our Hehuan Sect isn't anything great, your Maiden Sect is just a nest of hypocrites."
Nangong Ying added enthusiastically.
After hearing their words, Ning Qingyan remained silent for a moment. Then, her expression became even firmer.
"As a disciple, I can't stand by while my master is insulted. Let's fight. I don't mind lowering my cultivation level to fight on equal terms."
"That sounds fair. If I lose, I promise I won't draw anything about your master again. But what will you do if you lose?"
Tang Yu smiled. He thought that if he lost, he'd just stop drawing.
After all, now it was Nangong Ying who was in charge of the illustrations. He only gave her ideas.
"What do you want? As long as you don't go beyond my limits, I'll accept."
Ning Qingyan looked at him coldly with disdain.
A degenerate from the Hehuan Sect, what else could he want other than that? Despicable!
"I haven't decided yet. Let's fight first and we'll see."
Noticing her gaze, Tang Yu couldn't help but laugh.
Forcing her to practice dual cultivation with him would be boring.
But making her wish for it... that was another story.
"Okay. We'll fight in the battlefield of the Treasure Tower. That way, we'll have witnesses."
Ning Qingyan said this and immediately flew on her sword toward the Treasure Tower.
Tang Yu followed her, with Nangong Ying behind him, murmuring softly.
"Junior, do you really want to fight with her? This woman is quite strong, otherwise, the Maiden Sect wouldn't have chosen her to train as their future leader."
Among the youth of his generation, those who could face Ning Qingyan at the same cultivation level could be counted on one hand.
"Small problem."
Tang Yu was full of confidence. Fighting against someone of a higher level was an innate skill of protagonists.
As long as his opponent was willing to suppress her level to the early stage of the Nascent Soul Realm, defeating her wouldn't be difficult.
When both arrived at a duel platform within the city, the news that Ning Qingyan, the future leader of the Maiden Sect, would fight Tang Yu quickly spread.
The cultivators who heard the news rushed to surround the place to witness the spectacle.
"Go, Fairy Ning!"
"Fairy Nangong is also very beautiful today!"
"Why hasn't Master Tang Yu updated 'The Adventures of Fairy Meiyun' yet?"
The cultivators gathered beneath the platform shouted loudly.
Some were unconditional followers of Ning Qingyan, others of Nangong Ying.
The rest were simply old perverts eager for Tang Yu to update his story.
Indifferent to the support from the cultivators, Ning Qingyan ignored the cheers.
Instead, Nangong Ying smiled at them and waved her hand.
"I'll update it in a few days."
Tang Yu briefly responded to the crowd before gesturing with his hand, signaling Ning Qingyan to begin.
Before attacking, Ning Qingyan announced her wager to the crowd.
After making them witnesses of the agreement, she suppressed her level to the early stage of the Nascent Soul Realm and said, "Let's begin!"
As soon as she finished speaking, her long sword emitted a dazzling blue glow.
A burst of extremely cold sword energy spread from her weapon, enveloping the entire duel platform.
Around the platform appeared an invisible barrier, the built-in defense system of the stage.
Within this battlefield, any fight between cultivators below the Divine Transformation Realm would not affect the outside.
With a simple thought, Ning Qingyan made thousands of flying swords form from her energy and launch in an unstoppable storm towards Tang Yu.
Even while suppressing her level, she didn't hold back at all, for she didn't underestimate her opponent just because his cultivation was lower.
A genius who had reached the Nascent Soul Realm in such a short time...
Even if he had taken a shortcut, he wasn't someone to take lightly.
Facing Ning Qingyan's fierce attack, Tang Yu formed hand seals, and a faint red light emerged around him.
Surrounded by that light, he withstood the sword rain without suffering a single scratch.
Seeing her attack nullified so easily, Ning Qingyan furrowed her brows slightly.
Without hesitation, she threw her sword into the air and pointed at it with her finger.
The sword expanded to hundreds of meters in length, falling like a mountain upon Tang Yu in a scene of great visual impact.
Sensing the danger of that technique, even Nangong Ying showed signs of nervousness.
But Tang Yu remained calm, allowing the colossal sword to descend upon him.
When the enormous sword struck, the red light surrounding him only dimmed for an instant before regaining its original brilliance.
The crowd was stunned by such a defense.
A full-powered technique from Ning Qingyan, and it didn't even shake him?
After a burst of intense attacks, Ning Qingyan had consumed a large amount of her spiritual energy.
Seeing that the red light remained intact around Tang Yu, she couldn't help but ask:
"What kind of technique is that?"
Tang Yu smiled slightly and responded:
"It's a skill I created myself, I call it 'Pinxixi.'"
After researching various offensive techniques, Tang Yu realized that he shouldn't just focus on attacking.
He also needed to consider the possibility of accidentally entering a women's bath and getting beaten up.
So he spent time analyzing the exclusive algorithms of 'Pinxixi,' fusing them with the cultivation formation in his meridians.
The result was this unique defensive skill.
"Kill me? Not even with sixty thousand people would it be enough!"
"'Pinxixi?'"
Upon hearing that name, Ning Qingyan became even more cautious.
If this technique was truly his creation, then his talent was terrifying.
This man couldn't be left alive!
Without further hesitation, Ning Qingyan thrust her sword into the duel platform.
The sword energy, which was already extremely sharp, multiplied dozens of times in an instant.
The entire platform was enveloped, as if a great dome had trapped them both inside.
The cultivators watching from the outside could no longer see what was happening inside.
Even Nangong Ying had difficulty seeing clearly, but noticing that, despite Ning Qingyan's full offensive, her young brother remained as calm as ever, her worry lessened somewhat.
Her younger brother was undoubtedly a monstrous genius!
When the time of an incense stick passed, Ning Qingyan remained on the platform, her face pale and her expression filled with frustration.
She had almost completely drained her spiritual energy.
And yet, she hadn't been able to break through that man's defense.
It was unbearable!
She wanted to avenge her master, but had only ended up humiliating herself.
"...I've lost."
Although defeat filled her with bitterness, Ning Qingyan bit her lip and admitted her defeat, withdrawing her magic sword.
With that, the sword energy dissipated, and the spectators were finally able to see what was happening on the platform.
Before Ning Qingyan could say anything else, Tang Yu had already turned to the crowd, clasped his hands, and smiled.
"Today's battle with Daoist Sister Ning has been a great experience. Our levels are evenly matched, and the fight was fierce. So we declare the battle a draw."
Upon hearing the result, the crowd was completely confused.
Even Ning Qingyan was stunned.
What did that mean?
She had already admitted her defeat herself!
Why was he saying it was a draw?
