Xu Wuyi nodded in admission. "Your saber Intention is purer and more condensed. Its offensive power surpasses my own."
He was telling the truth.
On the surface, their last exchange seemed to be a draw, but in reality, Hong Nianyi's saber Intention was more focused and penetrating.
In a true life-or-death battle, he would likely have had to pay a much greater price to receive that blow.
But this was already enough.
Hong Nianyi looked at Xu Wuyi, a smile appearing on her face again. This time, the smile held a bit more genuine ease and approval.
"That's enough," she said. "With your Realm of Great Success in Heart Image and the foundation you've built with the Hundred Refinements Melting Furnace, your actual combat strength is already considerable. Besides... you only used a defensive posture just now."
She didn't spell it out, but her meaning was obvious: Xu Wuyi still had the offensive power of his Golden Crow left unused.
