Past life sage: This life a dual cultivator

The speaker was a girl with a warrior's aura around her. She was wearing a tight leather robe which was highlighting her curves nicely.

Zhan Chen shook his head after seeing the vigilant look on her face. "A little beauty with a good fighting spirit. I wonder why she has such prejudice against me?", Zhan Chen thought to himself.

"Miss, I am just asking for a fight. It is not that I am going to harm her anyway", Zhan Chen spoke.

"Then fight me instead. You are not allowed to harm little sister Ying Ting", the leather clothed girl looked towards Zhan Chen sternly.

"Well then. I accept your proposal. Raise your weapon and show me your skills", Zhan Chen spoke with an amused look on his face.

The leather robed girl felt anger after seeing the nonchalant attitude of Zhan Chen. She took few steps forward and charged towards Zhan Chen with her sword.

Zhan Chen bent his back slightly and dodged her attack. Then he looked towards the leather robed girl with a smile on his face.

"You attacks are quite sharp. It will be fun to fight with you but before that I wish to learn your name", Zhan Chen spoke.

"I am Hong Yixin. Bring out your sword or else don't blame me if you will get cut", she replied.

"Fine. Let's have a good fight", Zhan Chen spoke and took out Lu Mingxi's sword from his spatial ring. A surprised look appeared on Hong Yixin 's face after seeing his ring but she quickly calmed herself.

She didn't give him much time and launched a sword slash towards him. Zhan Chen swung his sword and blocked the attack of Hong Yixin.

"Clang", both of their swords collided as Hong Yixin chose to fight in close quarter. She launched multiple attacks but each of her attack got ockrd by Zhan Chen's sword easily.

Zhan Chen didn't give any effort in his fight. He was just blocking her attacks at the most appropriate moment. A frustrated look appeared on Hong Yixin 's face after she saw Zhan Chen being so calm and composed even after facing her multiple attacks.

"Zhan Chen, why are you not attacking?", she asked with knitted eyebrows.

"It will be no fun if I started attacking. It is better to face your attacks and see your skills", Zhan Chen spoke.

"You jerk, are you pitying me?", Hong Yixin glared towards Zhan Chen fiercely.

"Not at all. How can I show pity to a beauty like Miss Yixin! I have only admiration for your skills", Zhan Chen spoke.

"You.....!", Hong Yixin felt so much vexed that she didn't know what to say. Frustration bubbled up in her heart as she looked towards the smiling look of Zhan Chen.

"Miss Yixin, please calm down. I have no intention to anger you. What I want to say that you have great skills but you need to polish them slightly", Zhan Chen spoke.

"What do you mean?" Hong Yixin looked towards Zhan Chen.

"Concentrate more while launching an attack. You have to look at your opponent's eyes while attacking. Your sword should move automatically while you are attacking or defending. You do not have to purposefully swing your sword", Zhan Chen spoke.

He demonstrated some moves for the Hong Yixin and realisation struck in Hong Yixin's mind. She practiced few moves and a look of joy appeared on her face.

"Thank you, Zhan Chen", she bowed her head slightly to show her gratefulness. She looked around and found very few cultivators remained on the stone platform.

"I should go. Good bye Zhan Chen", She spoke and jumped down from the stone platform. She took a look at Zhan Chen before striding out of the battle field.

"She has some talent in sword but mere agressiveness can't take her anywhere. I have pointed out towards her major problem. Now, it is upto her if she can deduce something or not", Zhan Chen thought to himself.

"Zhan Chen, you really have some skills. You manage to send the little devil of Hong family without getting a scratch on your body", a voice interrupted the thoughts of Zhan Chen.

Zhan Chen looked ahead and found Li Huanwu looking towards him. Another pair was fighting beside him but he had a non chalant attitude towards the warring pair.

"Shall we start?", he asked Zhan Chen. Zhan Chen nodded his head and Li Huanwu walked towards his location with a spear on his hand.

Compared to other cultivators, he was very calm as he stood before Zhan Chen. The eyes of various experts shifted to their location once they saw Li Huanwu standing before Zhan Chen.

"Fifth elder, what do you think? Can our Huanwu beat Zhan Chen?", a cultivator asked the old man standing on the peak of a hill.

"Nothing can be said at this moment. Like Zhan Chen, our Huanwu is also an once in a generation talent. Otherwise, I wouldn't have left cultivation and come with you all to see this year's grand sect competition", the old man replied.

His gaze was on the below battleground where Li Huanwu was facing Zhan Chen.

He spread his soul consciousness towards Zhan Chen and observed him from the distant hill. A surprised expression appeared on his face after few moments of observation.

"This Zhan Chen brat is really peculiar. I can't see through his cultivation even after trying my best", the old man murmureed.

Zhan Chen looked towards Li Huanwu who was pointing his spear towards him. "Are you going to attack or not?", he asked with a bored expression on his face.

Li Huanwu smiled slightly by his question. A serious expression appeared on his face as he tightened his grip around his spear.

He stabbed his spear in the air with a lightning quick manner. His attack was too fast and even before the observed could react, two energy tips had appeared before Zhan Chen.

Zhan Chen put his sword defensively infront of his body and the two energy attacks collided with his sword. He had to take a step backyard to stabilize his body.

"Wind element! How interesting", he thought to himself and looked towards Li Huanwu. Li Huanwu put both of his hands on his spear and forcefully stabbed towards the air.

A concentrated energy spear came out from his weapon and flew towards Zhan Chen. Zhan Chen swung his sword and an energy slash flew towards the the energy spear of Li Huanwu.

"Boom", a sound came out after their attacks collided. Both of their attacks vanished after they collided with eachother.

"Good sword skill", Li Huanwu praised. He swung his spear horizontally and charged towards Zhan Chen.

A sharp whistling slash approached Zhan Chen while Li Huanwu was charging at him. Zhan Chen swung his sword downward to meet the attack of Li Huanwu.

A vertical slash came out from his sword and collided with the sweeping slash of Li Huanwu. Another loud boom rang in the stone platform as Li Huanwu approached Zhan Chen with a breath taking speed.

Zhan Chen took a step forward in response and swung his sword to meet the spear of Li Huanwu.

"Clang", metallic sound came out as the sword and spear collided. Both of them exchanged attacks in close quarter as Li Huanwu displayed his exquisite skills with his spear. Zhan Chen was matching him with skills but he was purposefully holding back because it would be too big a shock for everyone if he had to use his full strength.
