"Your half-baked swordsmanship is useless!"
Lia snorted.
Ultimately, the swordsmanship Lin Da was using had been taught to him by her and Isa—it was unheard of for an apprentice to defeat their master. Swordsmanship was a skill that required long-term practice and couldn't be grasped instantaneously. The more one practiced, the stronger they became.
Lia acknowledged that her mind wasn't as sharp as Lin Da's, but when it came to swordsmanship, even with three more years of practice, Lin Da still wouldn't be a match for her.
Moreover, she knew that Lin Da excelled at mid-range combat, with skills like Venom Magic Sphere, Dark Whip, and Forest Dragon's Rage Fang being mid-range abilities. As long as she engaged in close-quarters combat and gave Lin Da no chance to cast spells, the scales of victory would steadily tip in her favor.
Put simply, Lia's strategy was relentless attack—even meaningless strikes were preferable to affording Lin Da any breathing room!
