The next day, inside the private training hall of Ling Lian and Xu Qi, the two were once again in the middle of a sparring session.
Ling Lian was holding her saber while Xu Qi had his metal fan. What they were testing this time was their application of martial arts techniques.
Because they both practiced Wind Whisper Art, they started their sparring with it.
Ling Lian showed her higher mastery of the basic martial art but Xu Qi had the Celestial Eloquence enhancing the techniques he could execute with it.
With their qi suppressed, only the sounds of their weapons dancing through the air echoed through the hall. Xu Qi twirled his fan with the ease of a seasoned performer, the metallic whispers slicing through the air.
"That fan of yours is starting to get irritating." Ling Lian said after Xu Qi deflected another of her saber strikes with a casual flick.
