For a moment, Yuan was mesmerized by her beauty. She was like a goddess of war training with Her sword, every tshe swung her sword, she swung it with the intent to kill.
"Beautiful…!" Yuan mumbled, his eyes riveted on General Valeria, his tone tinged with adoration and surprise.
General Valeria detected Yuan's presence and immediately stopped practicing with her sword, turning her head around with a glittering gleam in her eyes.
"Good morning, Yuan. You woke up late, and I've been practicing alone for about an hour." She whispered this before approaching him, sweat streaming down her cheeks.
"I normally wake up late. But I never expected you to get up that early and train with your sword." Yuan responded with a tiny smile on his face since he had not expected her to be enthusiastic about training.
"I'm really serious about my training, and it's beca daily routine to train early in the morning." She replied with a slight smile on her face, recalling her younger years when she first began training with her sword.
She has been training with her sword since she was eleven years old, and although she was born into the royal line, she was not gifted with magic like the rest of the family.
Because of this, she chose to wield a sword, and with her hard work and commitment, she has now grown strong enough to challenge the empire's most powerful wizard, possibly even stronger than a Grand Mage in terms of strength.
"Very weird...You remindedof my younger days..." She spoke with a nostalgic smile on her face, looking down at the sword she was carrying.
And then she said, "So, Yuan, where is your sword? Are you not going to uphold your promise to me? "How about I wash my face first? I still feel very sleepy." He shook his head, a peculiar smirk on his face, and inquired.
"Certainly, why not?" General Valeria nodded. Then she asked, "How about I take you to the river? I'd also like to wash my face before having a duel with you."
"You are always welcto join me."
After that, they both went to the river to wash their faces.
At the stime, Anna and the others followed the two, wondering what they were doing as they proceeded towards the river. Mireya, in particular, appeared to be extremely envious.
Sylvia let out a quiet sigh as she noticed Mireya's expression. 'It's confirmed now. Although she is in love with Yuan, she is still unaware of her own sentiments.'
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAt the stime, Anna smiled excitedly at the girls and said, "Let's follow them, girls; we need to wash our faces before preparing breakfast."
"Alright. Let's follow them!" Lily exclaimed with an ecstatic smile on her face, as she was somewhat envious of General Valeria.
Everyone else nodded and soon began following Yuan and General Valeria.
Yuan and Valeria arrived at the riverside a few minutes later, where they both washed their faces. Yuan felt refreshed as soon as the cool water of the river slapped on his face.
A few seconds later, General Valeria looked at him and said, "The water feels really pleasant, don't you agree?"
Yuan nodded in agreement with her. After they had cleansed their cheeks, General Valeria seized the hilt of her sword and drew it out of its sheath.
"Yuan, let us have a duel here. This site is ideal for a duel, and we can go all out without causing any damage."
"You seem to be quite eager to have a duel with me, don't you?" Yuan jumped from the massive boulder he was standing on in the middle of the river, landing behind General Valeria.
"You won't comprehend how delighted I am to have a duel with you, Yuan." She spoke excitedly, her tone full of eagerness. "So, don't keepwaiting, bring back your sword; I'll be waiting for you here."
"There is no need to wait; I have my weapon with me," Yuan said, and a blazing red sword appeared in his hand out of thin air, surprising General Valeria.
However, General Valeia arched her eyebrows and focused her gaze on Yuan's gorgeous fiery red sword.
She was very inquisitive about the sword and where he had gotten such a magnificent weapon; even the metal it was made of was crimson.
'She is simply a mortal, not a cultivator, therefore I don't need to utilize my Empyreal Oblivion to fight her.
'She won't be able to endure the overwhelming force of a soul weapon,' Yuan thought, tightening his hold on the sword's hilt.

«Grade: Spirit»

«Description: A sword crafted from red meteorite ore. Cut metals like butter.»
'This blade is ideal for a duel with her, but its might is overwhelming for a mere mortal.' He pondered as he held the fiery red blade in his hand.
'The sword...I received the simpression as I got from the Holy Sword in the Church of Light and Justice. Is that sword also a holy sword?' General Valeria mused, glancing at the fiery red sword in Yuan's hand; to be honest, she had developed a liking for the blade because it complemented her in every way.
'Well, whatever, this will make things more interesting,' she reasoned, a big grin spreading across her face as she securely held her blade.The atmosphere was really dense. A very chilly wind swept by them, causing dust to flutter around.
"Are you ready?" General Valeria inquired, her delight palpable in her voice.
"Cat me. I am ready!" Yuan answered. He was also looking forward to fighting General Valeria, as seen by the huge grin on his face.
"I am reminding you that I will not be holding back my strength. I would like you to do the sand not look down onbecause I am a woman." General Valeria spoke, raising her sword as she prepared to make an attack on Yuan.
"Here I come!" She yelled and rushed towards Yuan with extraordinary speed, surprising Yuan even though she was a mortal lady.
'Incredible! She could move that quickly while being a mortal; it must be the product of her rigorous training.' Yuan pondered, and an admiring smile spread across his face.
In an instant, General Valeria stood before Yuan and swung her sword upside down, and Yuan braced himself for the blow, raising his blade to deflect her attack.
Clang! The sound of two metals colliding reverberated throughout the area, and powerful shockwaves surged through, causing the river's water to tremble.
They then assaulted each other relentlessly, exchanging thousands of assaults within seconds, causing a tremendous gust of wind to sweep through the area.
Even though Yuan was holding back his might, all of his attacks were so fierce and violent that General Valeria couldn't keep her ground against him, and she was barely resisting his attacks.
'So quick and powerful, as expected of the famed leader of the Celestial Blades, he is a monster! I could barely block his attacks.' General Valeria reflected while fighting against Yuan's unrelenting attacks.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmDespite her weaknesses, she was able to force Yuan back with her own strength; each swing of her sword was hefty, causing Yuan to stumble backward.
'She had incredible physical strength and even pushedbackward. I'm amazed.' Yuan noticed the expression of surprise on his face.
Seeing that she couldn't win over Yuan only via physical power, she chose to use her mana to improve her body.
She then channeled her mana throughout her entire body, causing it to glow in golden light. The sword in her hand was also covered in the golden aura, making it appear sharper and more deadly.
'Oh! After failing to destroywith physical strength alone, she chose to employ her mana. I should also quit holding back a little.' Yuan pondered, a smirk flashing over his lips.
General Valeria vanished from her position and arrived behind Yuan in an instant, swinging her sword at him.
Boom! A tremendous explosion sounded in the distance, scaring Yuan's two mothers and his daughters. What has just happened? Why did the earth tremble just now? Is Yuan fighting General Valeria?
"Let's go! Yuan is fighting Miss Valeria." Anna exclaimed, excitedly, before heading towards the noise.
"I'm curious to see how tiny Yuan kicks General Valeria's ass!" Lily exclaimed as she followed her mother, Grace, and the other girls.
"Yuan, exactly what I imagined. You're quite strong. You challengedto use my mana in a way that no one had before, and I applaud you for that."
"Haha! Miss Valeria, you are also a very powerful woman. Even the most ferocious beasts couldn't hold up tofor this long, and now that you're standing in front ofwith a few minor scratches, I regret not meeting you sooner."
"It is the sfor me."
Clang! Clang! Clang!
After each encounter, visible ripples of tremendous force raced over the surrounding area, sending chills down the spines of Mireya, Sylvia, and Leah.
"Is it true that this phenomenon is caused by two people battling one other?" Mireya was astonished; they nearly couldn't believe it.
"I couldn't even track their movements; they move too quickly for our eyes to keep up with." Sylvia was likewise taken aback; she just saw a glimpse of Yuan and General Valeria as their swords met.
"I'm astonished Miss Valeria can keep up with Darling's speed, but he's doing his best to hold back his strength. But it's still astonishing that a single mortal can keep up with him." Grace mumbled, clearly shocked by General Valeria's prowess in the combat against Yuan.
