In the Resting Valley, a famous figure appeared. It was Li Xun, ranked 3rd on the Young Genius List. He was handsome, talented, and surrounded by admirers.
He was holding a competition to test others. "Anyone who can block my 'Water Moon Sword' for three moves will get a treasure!"
Many people tried, but were blown away in one move.
"Too weak! Are there no real experts in this place?" Li Xun said arrogantly.
His eyes landed on Anthony, who was sitting under a tree dozing off.
"You! The one sleeping!" Li Xun pointed. "Come up! Show me your skill!"
Anthony opened his eyes lazily. "Can I not go? I'm comfortable here."
The crowd laughed. "Hahaha, he's scared!"
"He knows he's weak!"
Li Xun frowned. "Coward! If you don't come, I will disqualify you from the assembly!"
"Fine, fine." Anthony stood up and walked over lazily. "What do you want? Hit me?"
"Hmph! At least you are honest. Prepare yourself!" Li Xun drew his sword. The air turned cold. "First move: Moon Slash!"
A crescent of light slashed at Anthony.
Anthony didn't even draw a weapon. He just waved his sleeve.
Whoosh.
The sword energy vanished into nothingness, as if it was swallowed up.
Li Xun was shocked. "What technique is that?!"
"Laundry technique," Anthony joked. "I sweep things away."
"You dare mock me? Second move: Raging Torrent!"
The sword attack became fierce and fast. Anthony just walked forward casually, his steps seemingly random, but dodging every single strike perfectly. He even had time to pluck a leaf from the air.
"Your sword is too soft. Like cutting tofu."
"Third move! Ultimate skill: Thousand Shadow Stab!"
Li Xun attacked with thousands of sword lights.
Anthony finally stopped joking. He snapped his fingers.
CLANG!
A sound like metal hitting metal rang out. All the sword lights shattered instantly. Li Xun was pushed back, his wrist hurting so much he almost dropped his sword.
"How... how is this possible?!"
"Because," Anthony patted his shoulder, "You are using a sword, but your heart is floating. Goodbye."
Anthony walked back to his tree and continued sleeping, leaving Li Xun standing there in shock.
