Gu Sheng’s eyes showed admiration, as the Qi Sword transformed into a streak of light in his hand, perfectly intercepting Gu Ningshuang’s attacks with each block.
He didn’t retaliate but deliberately guided her sword path, as if engaged in a silent communication.
Qin Yurou watched in awe.
As an observer, she clearly saw that every movement Gu Sheng made seemed to foresight Gu Ningshuang’s sword moves. The direction the Qi Sword pointed to was invariably the weak points in Gu Ningshuang’s sword momentum.
This is not a contest, but... guidance?
"Ningshuang, he’s feeding you the sword moves!"
Qin Yurou couldn’t help but shout.
Gu Ningshuang paused upon hearing this, her sword momentum slightly halting.
She looked at Gu Sheng, who winked at her, the corners of his mouth curling into a familiar mischievous smile.
"Senior Sister, focus."
Gu Sheng gently reminded, accelerating the Qi Sword, lightly touching her wrist.
A tingling sensation spread from the wrist, yet Gu Ningshuang felt something stir in her mind.
She no longer thought twice, concentrating entirely on the sword moves.
Gradually, she felt herself entering a unique state, with the Snow-cutting Sword seemingly an extension of her arm, each sword strike becoming smoother and more natural.
Gu Sheng noticed her transformation, his eyes filled with gratification.
He deliberately slowed down the pace, the trajectory of the Qi Sword becoming clearer, like an invisible sword map drawn in the air.
"Sword Intent..."
Gu Ningshuang muttered to herself, her eyes growing increasingly bright.
"So that’s it..."
Qin Yurou held her breath, watching the two figures in the arena speed up, the sword lights weaving into a tight, impenetrable net.
Though she didn’t understand Sword Dao, she could also tell that Gu Ningshuang was on the verge of some breakthrough.
Time of a burning incense passed, Gu Ningshuang suddenly halted her steps, the Snow-cutting Sword suspended mid-air, its tip trembling slightly.
Her gaze became extremely focused, and the aura around her began to fluctuate violently.
Seeing this, Gu Sheng immediately withdrew his sword and retreated, giving Senior Sister ample space.
"She’s going to break through!"
Qin Yurou exclaimed.
Only to see Gu Ningshuang slowly closing her eyes, the Snow-cutting Sword in her hand emitting a clear and resonant sword hum.
A fierce Sword Intent erupted from her body, with the surrounding fallen leaves moving autonomously without wind, shredded into pieces by the invisible Sword Qi.
When she opened her eyes again, her pupils seemed to harbor sword light.
She exhaled softly, sheathed the sword, showing an expression of disbelief.
"Fourth Grade Sword Intent..."
She murmured softly, lifting her head to look at Gu Sheng.
"I actually broke through..."
Gu Sheng smiled and cupped his hands.
"Congratulations, Senior Sister."
Gu Ningshuang, however, suddenly stepped forward, grabbing his collar.
"What realm are you in, really?"
Her voice carried shock and unwillingness.
"To guide me so easily towards a breakthrough in Sword Intent, you must be at least..."
Gu Sheng smiled without speaking, just lightly holding her wrist.
"Senior Sister only needs to know that I will always protect you, that’s enough."
