Xu Ming looked at his ax and nodded. He could see that it was a special thing. The only downside was the fact that he was completely oblivious about using axes, and he didn't know any ax skills.

Even if he knew ax skills, he wouldn't have been able to use it since he was pretending to be someone else and couldn't do anything that would expose his identity. If he used any skills that the original host didn't know, it would attract much more attention than him acting strange or having faster reflexes. ​​

Yu Yan also brought her sword out and held it firmly in her hand.

"Your weapon is nice too," Xu Ming complimented her as well.

"I don't need your praise," Yu Yan snorted.

"Since I was the one that challenged you, you can attack first," She told Xu Ming.

"It's fine. I prefer having you attack first," Xu Ming responded.

Since he couldn't use any skills, he preferred having her close it so he could surprise her or have a chance at winning.

"If you say so," Yu Yan let out as she raised her sword.

She slashed down with her sword.

A bright green arc of light escaped her sword and moved towards Xu Ming.

Xu Ming saw the attack coming towards him. Instead of facing the attack from the front, Xu Ming dodged the attack. He jumped to the side, barely dodging the attack.

"Once a coward, always a coward," Yu Yan muttered as she looked at Xu Ming in anger.

She kept using the same attack, without moving and Xu Ming kept dodging.

'Looks like she won't come close in the least. I'll have to go in after all," Xu Ming thought as he started running towards her. His speed increased suddenly.

His sudden increase in speed had managed to shock Yu Yan. Before she knew it, Xu Ming was before her.

Xu Ming attacked with his ax, but Yu Yan blocked the attack with her sword.

Yu Yan's expressions suddenly changed as she realized the physical power hidden in that attack.

Even though she had blocked the attack, just the sheer force itself was able to throw her back.

She was pushed back ten steps, but before she could even control her footing, she saw Xu Ming appear before her again.

She saw his ax coming toward her.

Even though she had lost her balance, she was forced to block the attack.

This time, the attack was even more powerful than the last time.

Xu Ming's physical power in itself was too powerful, but because of this ax, his power was even more amplified.

Because she hadn't found her footing, her defense was even weaker now.

She was tossed back like a broken kite as she crashed against the wall.

She landed onto her knees. She stopped up amidst the aching pain.

"You bas..." she had just opened her mouth, but before she could even finish her sentence, she saw Xu Ming coming towards her with his ax.

She moved to the side to dodge the ax. She managed to avoid the ax this time, but she couldn't dodge Xu Ming's kick that landed on her stomach, making her fly again.

She also coughed out a mouthful of blood as she landed on the ground.

Since Xu Ming had found an opportunity to dominate Yu Yan, he wasn't willing to give it up. He didn't want her to pull out any of her crazy trump cards, so he kept appearing before her without giving her a chance to do anything.

Yu Yan kept getting tossed all around the room. It can come to a situation where she wasn't even getting the opportunity to stand before she was attacked.

Blood was coming out of her mouth, and her clothes were covered in dust while Xu Ming wasn't injured in the least. His clothes were still spotless.

Yu Yan's sword had also fallen off her hand, which was now in Xu Ming's hand.

Xu Ming was standing before Yu Yan while she was lying on the ground.

His sword was resting on her neck.

"I can kill you if I want. This fight is already over," Xu Ming muttered before he threw her sword to the ground and walked back towards the door.

He stepped out of the hall without looking at Yu Yan. Yu Yan kept watching her back until he left the hall.

He brought out the flying beast that was in Li Mu's beast bag and stood on it.

The beast started flying and took Xu Ming back to Li Mu's courtyard.

Xu Ming stepped down of the beast and placed the beast into the bag.

As he stepped inside his courtyard, he saw it filled with herbs.

"What is all this?" Xu Ming asked the servant who was mixing the herbs and crushing them.

"This is for my Master, who is going to be beaten badly. I need to prepare the medicine bath to help him recover after he comes back defeate..."

The Servant was subconsciously replying, but he abruptly stopped as he recognized the voice.

He told the back slowly.

"M-master, you're back?" He stood up in shock as he saw Xu Ming. "You're fine? Did the fight get canceled?"

"I won," Xu Ming replied.

The servant looked at Xu Ming as if he did not believe him.

"Whatever, I'm going back to my room. I'll be in secluded Cultivation. Don't let anyone disturb me," Xu Ming said as he walked inside his room.

Xu Ming closed the door and canceled the effects of his Mask of Mischief and removed it as he laid on the bed.

Xu Ming thought about the fight and realized that the fight had indeed gone pretty good. He was also starting to appreciate the ax as a weapon.

"Fighting with brute force was not that bad. I guess no weapon is bad, after all. Each weapon has a different set of specialty." he muttered.

"I told you, an ax is a good weapon. You can definitely make it your main weapon," Valeria commented.

"No, I would still prefer swords. I have the most powerful weapon, which is a sword, after all. No matter how amazing an Ax can be, I still need to master the sword so I can better utilize the Sword of Justice when the time comes," Xu Ming responded.

"That is true, as well. No weapon can come close to a god grade weapon. Since you already have a God Grade Sword, you should stick with it," Valeria replied as she nodded her head.

"I haven't seen a god grade weapon before. I wonder what the Sword of Justice looks like. Can you show me what that sword looks like?" she asked Xu Ming.
