After the empress transmigrated, she became the judge of the entertainment industry.

Chapter 265 One Inch Short, One Inch Danger

The swirling sand that day was not an axe move, but a Tang Clan fist technique.

Before this, Su Xingyi had only seen videos of Tang Qingshan when he was still in public. Even through the lens of many years ago, he could feel the force of Tang Qingshan's punches, which were like the sunset over the desert and the swirling sand.

Ye Sanqing's move was an adaptation of the original fist technique.

The principle of its spinning power is the same as that of boxing, and at the same time, the strong wind generated by the axe also stirs up the sand on the ground.

Instead of retreating, Lin Qianren advanced, using the force of the axe's counterattack to change the direction of his sword tip, aiming straight for the back of Ye Sanqing's knee.

Ye Sanqing noticed this and immediately chopped down with his axe, but not at Lin Qianren's sword. Instead, he used the tip of the axe to land on the ground and then somersaulted, leaping onto Lin Qianren's back.

Then she retracted the axe, and the long axe spun in the air, instead using the handle to brace it against the other person's shoulder.

"You flatter me," Ye Sanqing said with a smile. "However, my victory was not honorable. Senior Sister Lin was unable to retaliate in time because of her back injury, wasn't she?"

"Not at all, it's your skill that's superior." Lin Qianren sheathed her sword and bowed, understanding that Ye Sanqing was just being polite. Ye Sanqing's speed was terrifying, and she had struck directly at the opponent's vulnerable back. Even if Lin Qianren's back wasn't injured, her reaction speed wouldn't be as fast as Ye Sanqing's.

Although you can crouch and roll to dodge, you can still get injured in actual combat.

The fact that Ye Sanqing could move this fast with such a huge and heavy axe speaks volumes about his strength.

Lin Qianren then stepped aside, and Su Xingyi stepped forward and bowed, "Senior Sister Ye, please enlighten me."

Su Xingyi had sparred with Ye Sanqing before and roughly understood that the opponent's moves were extremely unpredictable and could not be judged by conventional thinking.

However, this time she had a weapon she was comfortable with, which boosted her confidence.

"Please." Ye Sanqing gripped the axe handle in reverse, with the axe head pointing downwards, placed the weapon behind his back, and extended one hand forward.

Su Xingyi held the dagger in reverse with both hands, pushed off the ground and charged forward, heading straight for Ye Sanqing.

Ye Sanqing used her favorite back jump... still bracing herself with the axe end, she moved back a distance, kicked the axe, and the axe flew forward, hitting the intersection point where Su Xingyi attacked from two directions at the same time!

Su Xingyi was taken aback. Although he had experienced the opponent's strength before, Ye Sanqing was now wielding an axe with his left hand...

But Su Xingyi could immediately change his move, raising both hands and sidestepping the trajectory of the axe swinging upwards. He then slid forward repeatedly, turning his right hand to grip the dagger and aiming straight for Ye Sanqing's throat.

Ye Sanqing steadied the momentum of the axe swing, blocked with his right hand, and struck Su Xingyi's forearm, both of them taking a step back in opposite directions.

To be honest, in this contest of strength, Su Xingyi was no match for her opponent. However, she still had the dagger in her left hand, so as she leaned back with her right side, she converted the force into a forward thrust with her left hand, sending the dagger forward.

Ye Sanqing's axe was now positioned high up, so he chopped down diagonally.

There was no suspense then; Su Xingyi was jolted from his hand by the force, and the left dagger flew out of his hand.

Su Xingyi steadied herself and looked up at Ye Sanqing, who raised an eyebrow at her.

"Thank you for showing mercy, Senior Sister Ye."

Su Xingyi knew that Ye Sanqing's last move was a subtle withdrawal of force, merely enough to dislodge her dagger; if he had used a little more force, he might have been able to split the ground in two.

"You're welcome," Ye Sanqing said with a smile, feeling quite pleased after his workout.

“Well…” Su Xingyi picked up the dagger, somewhat annoyed, “There is still a difference between a dagger and dual swords. I haven’t been practicing enough.”

"Don't take it to heart. We're here for training, aren't we? We're here to practice," Lin Qianren said as he walked over.

Ye Sanqing knew it was their turn to spar, so he stepped back a bit and only then did he notice Sheng Hanyu and Ren Junxiao watching from outside.

"Do you want to do a sparring match too?" Ye Sanqing asked.

“Master Ye is joking. What business is it of mine to do with your gesturing?” Ren Jun laughed. “It’s a real pity that you didn’t even ask beforehand, otherwise I would have asked them to film something for us.”

Sheng Hanyu pointed to the surveillance footage, "Go back and edit that one, it'll definitely look more realistic."

Ye Sanqing asked in confusion, "They're going to film this too?"

For her, this level of skill was hardly a challenge, and it was just something she did on a whim without much thought.

"Let's try to collect as much material as possible." Ren Junxiao was in a good mood because the Ye family's generous investment allowed them to have a relatively comfortable living environment even in this harsh environment, so he spoke in a relaxed tone.

However, he hasn't visited Sheng Luoxin yet... Such a private visit request is only appropriate after the entire crew has gathered and held their first meeting.

“Master Ye, I use a fan, so I definitely can’t beat an axe, right?” Sheng Hanyu continued Ye Sanqing’s initial question.

"That's not necessarily true. You'll see if I can beat an axe with a fan."

Although Ye Sanqing had never used a fan in a fight before... she just had this kind of confidence.

【Master, when have you ever used a fan...】From Little Bug.

What's so difficult about that? Just think of it as a short stick and a fan-shaped weapon. Isn't a fan-shaped weapon easy to understand?

Ye Sanqing said he didn't know what she was talking about, and then ignored Xiaochong's question.

Little Bug: It feels like your explanation was the same as not explaining at all...

"Then I'll have to learn a lot from Master Ye." Sheng Hanyu was just joking and didn't take it too seriously.

After all, fighting with fans is something that only happens in TV dramas!

For him, the aesthetic value outweighed the practical value.

In the arena, Su Xingyi and Lin Qianren exchanged greetings and the ceremony began.

Facing conventional weapons, Su Xingyi seemed more confident. With agile movements, he crouched down and slipped in front of Lin Qianren in an instant.

After all, a shorter weapon is more dangerous; if the weapon has a small attack range, you have to get close to the enemy.

Su Xingyi used the exact same move he had used against Ye Sanqing earlier.

She chose this tactic to see how the two of them would respond differently.

Lin Qianren did not jump back... but she used her ability to control the situation with stillness to the fullest extent, holding her sword upright in front of her, and still blocked the move in a seemingly ordinary way.

Ren Junxiao commented from the side, "This feeling of great skill without sharpness is really suitable for the role of Gu Zhaohua... It seems that Qianren's training does not need to be so intense."

Ye Sanqing nodded. Although Lin Qianren lost to her, his sword techniques were often the simplest yet most practical, achieving the greatest effect with the least amount of force.

In other words, she was only able to slightly outrun her opponent because of her extraordinary speed.

Su Xingyi changed her move at this moment, but it was different from before. She actually adopted an offensive stance, crossing the dagger on the sword and forcibly using her body weight to press down on her opponent.

Lin Qianren's sword was pressed down and tilted slightly towards her, but instead of dealing with the problem, she immediately kicked out, aiming for Su Xingyi's knee.

Su Xingyi felt the strong wind and increased the force of his grip.
