On the way to the General's Shrine, an unexpected challenge halted the journey. Fang Xu of the World of Heavens questioned my honor, forcing a wooden sword duel. What began as a distraction turned into a clear demonstration of skill, technique, and dominance within the arena.
It was a shame to lose the photos from the Legend of the Lunar Goddess journey, but the path ahead waited for no one. I rode straight to the General's Shrine, keeping an eye out for Ruby. The atmosphere at the shrine was heavy with the spirit of ancient warriors, setting the stage for what was about to happen.
I stumbled upon a battle arena where a warrior named Fang Xu, representing the World of Heavens sect, was issuing challenges. At first, my character simply brushed him off, ignoring the challenge and focused on the mission at hand.
As I tried to pass him and move toward the bottom line of the arena, Fang Xu called out, specifically challenging my honor. This time, my character stopped, turned around, and accepted. There was no walking away now, the challenge was set, and the sect's reputation was on the line.
To ensure the duel remained a test of skill rather than a bloodbath, we fought with wooden swords.
From the very first strike, I unleashed my wrath upon him. I had expected a much harder fight from a member of the World of Heavens, but I quickly realized I had the upper hand.
I used the duel as an opportunity to practice every technique I've mastered so far. The visual effects of the strikes, the dust kicking up and the blur of the wooden blade, looked incredible in these shots. Even with a practice weapon, the intensity was cool.
Fang Xu started the match aggressively, trying to overwhelm me with his own style. However, I turned the tide quickly, meeting his energy and pushing him back with a series of mighty attacks. I wanted to make it very clear who the real boss of this arena was.
I kept the pressure on, experimenting with new moves and combos I hadn't fully tested in a real fight before. Eventually, his defense crumbled. Fang Xu fell to the ground, dropping his wooden sword and formally accepting his defeat.
That's all for now.
