After being summoned, the female masked figure started looking around with interest, almost as though she was inspecting her surroundings, a behavior that none of the previous Spirits have shown.
Her gaze eventually stopped on Yuan, and after a moment of silence, she spoke in a clear voice, "This is the first time I've been summoned since the creation of this place. What's your name?"
"S-She's having a conversation with her opponent?!" The spectators were beyond shocked by this.
"The Spirits in the Sword Trial have never spoken a single word before!"
"This is the first time it's a woman, too!"
"My name is Xiao Yang." Yuan introduced himself.
"Really?"
To his surprise, the female Spirit questioned his answer, almost as if she didn't believe him.
"I don't like liars, you know," she continued.
"..."
Yuan decided to remain silent.
"Well, whatever. Anyways, are you ready to fight me? I hope you can entertain me."
Yuan immediately retrieved the Empyrean Overlord.
The Spirit's body trembled when she saw the beautiful sword in his grasp.
"You… Why do you have that sword?" The Spirit muttered in a low voice that sounded to be in disbelief.
"Cause it's mine," he calmly responded.
"BULLSHIT!"
The Spirit suddenly roared, and a tyrannical aura exploded from her body, causing the spectators to scatter away from the platform.
"That's my Master's sword! How dare you defile it with your unworthy hands!"
Before Yuan could even respond, the female Spirit suddenly sprang into action, rushing towards him as a large Greatsword appeared in her grasp.
BOOM!
A powerful shockwave appeared when their swords clashed, and Yuan was actually pushed back by the Spirit.
When he stabilized himself, he could feel his entire arm shaking.
'Shit! What terrifying strength!' Yuan cried inwardly, and he realized that this could be the most difficult challenge he's faced in this place yet.
"Die!"
The Spirit did not spare Yuan any time to think and continued to rush at him with her attacks growing stronger with every strike.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
The Spirit eventually started using Sword Aura, causing ripples filled with Sword Aura to scatter everywhere, destroying the platform and the surroundings.
"Heavens… What am I witnessing?"
"They've been at it for five days now."
"F-Five?! Are you messing with me? There's no way anyone can fight that long with such intensity."
"You don't have to believe me. You can ask the others."
Meanwhile, Silver Dragon Long Chen hovered in the air with a pondering expression on his face.
'They've been fighting at this pace for five days now, yet neither of them are using their full strength. That Xiao Yang, is he using that Spirit for training? Even if that's the case, why is the Spirit going along with him?' He wondered, as he thought that the Spirits were meant to defeat the challengers as soon as possible.
"Hm?"
It was at this moment that he noticed the group of beauties standing near the entrance of the Sword Temple.
'So she's also here, huh?'
A smile appeared on his face when he saw the expression on her face. He didn't think he would ever get the chance to see such a sight.
'So even the Poison Phoenix can feel jealousy. What a surprising find.'
He approached her a moment later.
However, Fairy Tang didn't sense his presence until he was right beside her.
"It's been a while, Poison Phoenix." Silver Dragon greeted her with a somewhat cheeky smile.
Fairy Tang glared at him with a cold gaze as she spoke, "What do you want, Silver Dragon?"
