Vampire's Slice Of Life

Chapter 304 35th Ancient Sword Strike

"FIGHT!"

Alexandra dashed towards Lith as soon as she heard the signal and took her double bladed sword out midway. She also ensured to cast Destruction and Lightning spells on it.

Lith took his sword out as well and imbued it with Lightning and Destruction spells like Alexandra. He did what she did and waited for her to arrive calmly.

Looking at Lith doing the same move as her and also standing so calmly, Alexandra flashed a small smile. This was the confidence she was looking for.

Alexandra closed in on Lith and slashed her blade at Lith's throat. Lith blocked it and swung his sword to the bottom, blocking another of her attacks coming towards his stomach from the other end of her sword.

After blocking two attacks, Lith willed the Space elements around him and teleported behind her, blocking another of her attacks coming towards his chest from the back end of her sword.

His arms felt slightly numb as he blocked her powerful hits one by one but because of his innate superior regeneration ability, Lith didn't feel too much discomfort. Not to mention his pain tolerance was really high and just slight numbing wasn't enough to make him stop clashing with her.

Alexandra was surprised watching Lith block one attack of her after another. But she became more and more happy as he was able to fare off well against her.

She decided to increase the intensity and go all out but Lith immediately used his bloodline suppression to the fullest and caused her to suffocate and back away for a split moment.

At this moment, Lith teleported behind her back and hit her spine with the hilt of his sword and put her down on the ground. Alexandra groaned in pain but realized that not too much damage was done to her.

Lith put both his knees on her back and bent down to put his sword at her neck. He snapped his fingers and a fire wall was formed behind all around them, making Lith and Alexandra disappear from the spectators eyes.

Inside the fire wall, Lith bent down and put his sword at her neck and whispered to her,

"Don't. Don't go all out here. Too many eyes are on you and me. Meet me privately later and we can have a rematch somewhere secluded."

Alexandra was dumbfounded hearing that. She turned her head and looking at Lith, she asked, "what about this match then?"

"It's simple. We call for a draw." Lith shrugged and said.

Even though he wanted to fight her with his full potential, he couldn't do so in front of so many spectators. Not many knew that he had an all-elemental affinity and he also didn't want to reveal his secrets like that.

He had just used the seventh element of his in public, the Destruction element out of excitement and he knew this was bad. He showed the academy six elements but now if someone were to see the clip of this fight, they may very well make out that he had a seventh element. This was very troublesome.

This thing made Lith realize that even though he was excited to fight with Alexandra, he needed to take precautions. He should've informed her this before the match started but he was just too excited and forgot. It was only now that he realized and asked her to do so.

Alexandra nodded her head and said, "okay. We'll do this in private later. When and where do I meet you?"

"I'll be present in one of the buildings here in the sect and you can come meet me. From there, we'll go outside the sect in some private gymnasium and fight each other. As for when… that I don't know. Come meet me today or tomorrow and I'll tell you the date as well."

Alexandra stared at Lith for a good few seconds and Lith looked back at her with a calm gaze.

Alexandra asked, after a few seconds, "what is your rank?"

Lith shrugged and said, "who knows?"

"Why do I feel such suppression? Who are you?" Alexandra got to the point and asked the real question this time, instead of running around in circles.

Lith got off of her and dusting his clothes, he said looking at her, "who do you want me to be? Your enemy? Friend? Or perhaps lover?"

Alexandra got up and was about to dust her clothes as well when she heard that reply from Lith. She was stupefied hearing that. What shameless things was he saying to her?

"What nonsense are you speaking? If it were someone else, I would've beaten them up right away." Alexandra said with a dissatisfied look.

Lith shrugged again and said, "ask stupid questions, get stupid answers."

"You!" Alexandra was starting to lose her cool.

Lith seemed such a divine being to her just a few seconds ago. But now, she felt him to be hateful because of his speech alone.

"Less talk. Get into position, we are opting for a draw." Lith said and put his sword at her neck.

Alexandra did the same thing and Lith snapped his finger, dispelling the fire wall around him.

The referee noticed this and coming close to the two, he looked at the two's faces and asked, "is this a stalemate?"

He couldn't tell what the two were upto and since their clothes were in good condition as well, he wondered if there was even a fight or not.

Lith retracted his sword and putting it inside his ring, he started walking towards the exit and said waving his hand, "I am leaving. Decide the result whatever you want."

The spectators watching all fell silent. What was up with this match? They all thought.

Alexandra put her double bladed sword in her own ring as well and quietly walked away towards the other exit.

The referee was left confused and didn't know what to do. The two participants left just like that?

At this moment, the host arrived and announced to everyone that it was a draw, making the crowd go into an uproar.

How was a draw possible? They hadn't even made any serious moves and what caused the draw?

There were many questions the crowd had and it was the same for Sect Master Ling and Wan. Lith who casted a fire wall around them also ensured that he made the elemental energies around to be as chaotic as possible.

This ensured that nobody would be able to use magic to sense what was going on inside. Had the sect masters used their visions, they could've seen what was happening inside but obviously not be able to hear it.

But they didn't get time to use their visions and Lith was already out.

Also, it was Ling who instructed the host to call it a draw and wrap up the tournament of this year.

Everyone dispersed shortly after but their discussions didn't quiet down about the last match of the tournament.

Lith met with Ling and Wan again and told them that some things happened between him and Alexandra and they decided to call it off for now.

Ling and Wan, noticing Lith didn't say much, didn't force him to speak more. They just showed him around again and after they were done, they provided him with a place in the core area of the sect.

Lith was then given a scroll by Ling as he got in his room.

"This is our sect's secret technique. We noticed that you are a swordsman and we felt that this would suit you very well. Please accept our gratitude for everything you've done." Ling said to Lith while in Lith's room.

Lith raised his eyebrows in surprise. They gave away their secret technique just like that? Interesting.

Ling and Wan saw potential in Lith. This happened when Lith told Ling that he was of similar age to Alexandra. The two sect masters thought that Lith was so strong at such a young age, he definitely had the potential just like Alexandra and thus tried to be on good terms with him.

What if in future he became some bigshot? This secret technique that they were giving him with trust would definitely help get their sect lots of benefits.

After a small chat with Lith, the two sect masters took their leave and Lith sat on his bed and thought about all the things that happened today.

He meditated and comprehended things for a while. After he was done, he took out the scroll Ling gave him and started reading it. The name of the technique was:

35th Ancient Sword Strike.

It was a technique that allowed the swordsman to make a guaranteed critical hit on a vital point of the opponent on the 35th strike.

But there was a small problem and that was its cost. 30% of spiritual power from the swordsman would be used up when the swordsman dealt the 35th blow on the opponent.

So it meant that one can only use that technique thrice in a match. But practically speaking, nobody would do such a thing and if Lith wasn't wrong, this technique was meant to be used only once or twice in a battle, depending on the recovery rate of one's spiritual power.

As Lith read through this technique, he thought to himself,

'Hmm… If I am not wrong, with how efficient I am with things, I don't think that it should cost me 30% spiritual power if I use it. Well… I should test it out and see.'
