No,you’rewrong.Infact,XiaoCao’stalentwasmuchbetterthanHuaYue’s.YunXishookhisheadasChildeYunHelaughed.Atthismoment,thetwogirls’seedshadappearedinhisbody.AtthemomentXiaoCao’sswordwasshattered,aseedhadappearedinherbody.IfXiaoCao’sswordhadbeentougher,thebattlewouldn’thaveendedsofast.Inthatcase,thefinalresultwouldstillbeuncertain.

Now,YunXiabsorbedthetwonewbornseedsintohisbodythroughtheinvisiblethreadsbetweenthetwogirlsandhimself.YunXihimselfalsodidn’texpectthathewouldobtainthetwogirls’seedsinsuchashortperiodoftime.Hecouldn’tseeanytracesofanynewseedsbeingbornintheotherthirty-fivegirls’bodies.

XiaoCaoandHuaYuebothwerejustatthe2ndrank,thereforetherankoftheirseedsweren’thigh.Asapersonwhohadhigherpower,theirseedsdidn’thaveanysecretsinYunXi’seyes.

HuaYue’sseed:

HolyCrossedSword(proficient):Thisisaknight’sswordskillfromtheWesternWhiteGoldRoseFamily.Itwasbelovedamongstknightsandpeoplewithevilintentionswereunabletolearnit.Itwasapre-skillofahigh-levelswordskill:HolySpiritCrossedSword.

WhiteGoldRoseBloodline(partlyawakened):ahigh-levelbloodlinefromtheWesternWhiteGoldRoseFamily.Itcanhelptheownerbecomeanaturalknightandoffersanoticeableincreaseintheowner’sstrengthandholypower.

Asa2ndrankedseed,itwasprettyexcellent.Itwasevenbetterthanthe3rdrankedmonstergreenhippo’sseed.Besides,itwasthefirstlow-levelseedYunXihadseenthatcontainedthebloodlinefromanothergoddomain.

However,althoughXiaoCaowasdefeatedduetoabadqualitysword,herseedhadmoreamazingproperties.

XiaoCao’sseed:

Mortal’sSword(perfect):Thepersonwhoheldthisswordhadpracticedthemortal’sswordskilltothelimit.Inthatcase,thepersonwasabletolearnanyhigh-levelswordskillstwotimesfasterthanordinarypeople.

Mind’sEye(incomplete):Akindofinsightlearningfrompracticeandexercise.Itcouldhelptheowneranalysetheenvironmentandcatchthetiniestopportunitytoreversethesituation.

CombatIntuition(partlyawakened):Thisabilitycouldhelptheowneranalysethebattletrendandrespondtoitinadvance.Atanytime,theownerofthisabilitycoulduse100%strength.

PerseveringHeart:Thegrass-likegirlhadaperseveringheart.Itcouldhelpheropenthedoortoahigherrank.

Thiswastoopowerful.AfterseeingthepropertiesofXiaoCao’sseed,YunXiexclaimedinhisheart.Shewaslikeagrassseed,sleepingunderthegroundtogetthroughthechillywinter.Aslongasspringcame,shewouldbreakthroughtheendlessdarknessandbloominsplendor.

XiaoCao’sseedwasjustatthe1strank,however,YunXihadseenendlesspossibilitiesfromit.AmongstallthegirlsYunXihadseen,XiaoCao’stalentwasonlyslightlyinferiortoHuaHuo.Undoubtedly,aslongasshecouldkeepgrowing,shewouldhavethechancetoreachtheherorankoranevenhigherrank.

Althoughitwasjusta1strankedseed,butafterobtainingit,YunXifeltthatthebarrierwhichstoppedhimreachingthe3rdrankwasbreaking.ThiswasXiaoCao’stalent,amortal’ssuperpower.Now,shewasstillanordinary1strankedfemaleswordsman,butYunXibelievedthatsomeday,shewouldbecomealegend.Ofcourse,HuaYuewasn’tinferiortoXiaoCao.Shewasalsoexcellent.However,comparedtoXiaoCao’samazingtalent,shestillneededtoimproveherself.

Maybetheircompetitionwouldcontinueforaprettylongtime.HuaYue’sbloodlineandswordskillwerebetterthanXiaoCao’s.XiaoCaohadahigherlearningability,comprehension,andwillpower.Theywere"Grass"and"WhiteGoldRose".Thetwonicknameswerereallysuitedtothem.

"Ilost..."XiaoCao’seyeswereinflamed.Shecollectedthefragmentsofherbrokenswordsadly.Forthefirsttimeinherlife,shewasdefeatedinsuchamomentousoccasionandtastedthebittertasteoffailure.Ifherweaponhadbeentougher...IfshecouldseethroughHuaYue’smovesearlier….

However,therewasn’tany"if"existingintheworld.Shehadbeendefeated.Thatwasthetruth.Moreover,heropponenthadn’tusedanytricksbutdefeatedherthroughafairbattle.Sheshouldn’tmakeherweaponastheexcuse."Fairness"wasn’tawordexistingontherealbattlefield.

"Don’tgetdiscouraged.Iknowyouhaven’tdugoutyourtruepower,"Asthewinner,HuaYuegracefullystretchedoutherhandtoXiaoCao.

"Nexttime,youshoulduseabetterweapon."

"En,"XiaoCaonodded.ShecarefullycollectedthefragmentsofherbrokensteelswordandwalkedoffthestagetogetherwithHuaYue.

"Great!Youdidwell!"

"XiaoCao,howdidyoudothat?HuaYue’sattack...evenifitwasIfacingthatattack,Ididn’tthinkthatIcoulddodgeit,butyouparriedit!"

"Whatapity!Ifyouhadabetterweapon,youwouldn’tlosesofast!"

"IwouldhavelentyoumyswordifIhadforeseenthisresult!"

Thefemaleswordsmenlaughedandgreetedtheirreturn.EveryonesighedforXiaoCao’sfailure.ComparedtothebattlebetweenMeiandChildeSiNian,andthebattlebetweenMeiandChildeSanQuan,theycouldclearlyunderstandandlearnfromthebattlebetweenXiaoCaoandHuaYue.Everyonehadlearntalotfromtheirbattle.Someofthemhadalmostseentheroadleadingtothe2ndrank.

"Sorry,Ilost.Icouldn’tbeather,"XiaoCaosaidwithasadlookasshenervouslywalkedtoYunXi.Shehadalsobeendefeatedinthepast,butthistime,shefeltextremelyunwilling.

"XiaoCao,onlyapersonwhohastastedthepainoffailurecanunderstandthevalueofvictory."MaybenopersonintheworldhadexperiencedmoredeathsandfailuresthanYunXi.Duetothestars’yanderelove,hewasslaughteredbythegreenhippointhenewbietrial,andintheformaltrial,thestonesoldierarmyhadkilledhimagainandagain.Atthattime,hehadalmoststartedtodoubtthemeaningofhislife.Therefore,heunderstoodXiaoCao’sfeeling."Failureisthemotherofsuccess.It’snotaterriblethingtobedefeated.Aslongasyou’restillalive,youwillhavethechancetowin."

"En,"XiaoCaoloweredherhead.Afterawhile,shegraspedthefragmentsofherswordinherhand,flashingabrightsmileatYunXi.

Ofcourse,shewouldn’tbeunabletogetupafterthisfailure.ShewasXiaoCao,astrandoflittlegrass,andgrasscouldgrowinanyterribleenvironment.HuaYuewasstrong.Fornow,Icouldn’tfindawaytodefeather.Inthatcase,Ishouldtrainmyselfharder.ThisisthereasonwhyIparticipatedintheSwordPalace’sentrancetest.Isn’tit?

LookingatXiaoCao’ssmilingface,YunXisuddenlyblushed.Thethreadbetweenthemwasquietlydyedwithadifferentcolor.

"Arrrghhhh!"HuaHuostaredatXiaoCaoandYunXi.Aterriblefeelingwasaccumulatinginherheart.
