"If given another chance, I would definitely cut this person down with my sword! So..."
Shen Hongyi raised her head, her face full of hope, looking towards the Store Manager, "Hongyi boldly requests the Store Manager to lend me a hand, helping me quickly get past the weakness after my Sword Spirit’s rebirth, then I will find Xue An again and use my sword to wash away this humiliation!"
Upon hearing Shen Hongyi’s sincere plea, the gaze of everyone present immediately focused on the Store Manager.
After all, during the absence of the Family Head, the Store Manager’s words were akin to a royal decree.
The Store Manager pondered for a moment, then spoke solemnly, "Let me ask you, what is Xue An’s cultivation level?"
"His realm is exceedingly high, but his cultivation is poor!"
"Then why did you and your brother both fall to him at separate times? What exactly happened? You need to narrate the situation in detail before making any decision!"
"Yes!"
Shen Hongyi bowed her head in agreement and then raised it again, full of reluctance, and said, "At that time, when I saw my brother defeated, and almost unable to bring back even his Sword Heart, I was furious. I immediately consulted you, then set off to find Xue An for revenge!"
"Initially, everything was smooth; upon reaching the Pharmacists’ Alliance, I encountered Xue An, who was on a mission on a planet, and then we began a great battle!"
"This person is very strange; his Sword Intent’s realm is extremely high, even a bizarre Sword Intent I have never seen before, yet his cultivation is poor. Initially, I did not take him too seriously, but after a few moves, I knew I was wrong!"
"This person is by no means easy to deal with. Defeating my brother was not mere luck, so we engaged in a life-and-death struggle, even shattering that planet!"
As Shen Hongyi spoke, the room gradually fell silent, all the elders quietly listening.
The gaze of the Store Manager also flickered.
Because he gleaned much information from Shen Hongyi’s words.
By combining the earlier words of Shen Gaoge, a conclusion could be drawn: At least Xue An’s realm and true cultivation are severely mismatched.
Yet this phenomenon is puzzling.
Because typically, one’s realm lags behind cultivation.
Never heard of anyone whose realm is very high, but strength very poor.
How should Xue An’s situation be explained?
The Store Manager fell into deep thought.
Until Shen Hongyi finished speaking, he then spoke solemnly, "And then? Tell about how you fell to him, leading to the rebirth of your Sword Spirit?"
Upon hearing this, Shen Hongyi showed a touch of humiliation on her face, lowered her head, and said, "Under normal circumstances, defeating Xue An was just a matter of time!"
"Yet, during the fiercest part of the fight, Xue An suddenly employed a near-rogue tactic!"
"Oh?" The Store Manager slightly raised his brow, "What kind of rogue tactic?"
Shen Hongyi took a deep breath, a complex expression in her eyes.
"He started exchanging one move for another!"
The elders on the high platform stirred.
As they all understood what exchanging moves meant.
It was a tactic disregarding one’s own life, solely aiming to perish with the opponent.
If Shen Hongyi’s words are true, then this indeed is a near-rogue tactic.
Because this is nearly insoluble.
Unless you also intend to perish together with the opponent, even if you win, it would be a Pyrrhic victory.
Of course, this tactic presupposes that the power disparity between both sides isn’t too great.
If one side is a Sword Dao master, and the other is a commoner, then even thinking of exchanging moves isn’t possible.
The Store Manager’s eyes showed a touch of pondering, and he solemnly said, "And then!"
