Chapter 72: A Test of Skill

  Mu Yu Xing, who was sitting on the soft cushion, didn't even have time to exclaim in surprise when Tian Nuan Yu's body slightly moved and gently dodged backwards, causing Duan Liu Yun to kick at nothing.

  Mù Yǔ Xīn's scream of surprise directly turned into an excited shout.

  Duan Liuyun's kick wasn't particularly forceful, with a hint of probing intent. Tian Nuoyu easily dodged it without surprising him. He withdrew his leg and adjusted his pace, his eyes still fixed intently on Tian Nuoyu.

  Tian Nuoyu still looked at him calmly, but did not take the initiative to attack.

  Duan Liu Yun knew that Tian Nuan Yu was not afraid, but rather taking a conservative defensive approach, waiting to clarify his strengths and weaknesses before launching an attack. However, he didn't give her the opportunity to "slowly probe".

  Duan Liuyun's eyes flashed again, and he kicked out several legs in a row, but they were all easily dodged by Tian Nuanyu. She had already seen that Duan Liuyun's kicks were just feints.

  Several people around him showed a look of surprise.

  On the surface, it seemed like Duan Liuyun was on the offense, while Tian Nuanyu appeared to be afraid and kept retreating in defense. However, her face didn't show any signs of panic, instead becoming increasingly calm.

  Lan Shengyan's eyes were fixed intently on the two people in the arena, but his gaze lingered more on Tian Nuanyu's body. Beside him, Qiu Nianbai's line of sight followed Duan Liuyun's figure as it moved constantly, and his eyes seemed even stranger than before.

  Duan Liuyun began to change his strategy, combining virtual and real attacks. He first feigned a kick, then quickly turned his body and kicked twice in rapid succession, but several times the attack was still easily avoided by Tian Nanyu.

  Duan Liu Yun gradually realized that every time he launched a leg attack, Tian Nuan Yu seemed to have already sensed it and reacted in advance, so she could easily avoid his attacks with ease.

  Looking at Tian Nuanyu's increasingly calm eyes, Duan Liuyun's heart skipped a beat. He felt that around Tian Nuanyu was slowly gathering a strong whirlpool-like aura that made it difficult for him to approach her easily.

  Duan Liuyun's eyes suddenly turned, and he suddenly flew out with one foot, attacking Tian Nuanyu's chest. Tian Nuanyu immediately dodged to the side, but Duan Liuyun quickly retracted his foot and flashed to her left side, lifting his leg to kick her left ribs directly.

  Unexpectedly, Tian Nuoyu was still one step ahead of him. Just as Duan Liuyun's foot was about to touch her body, Tian Nuoyu suddenly dodged to the side and, taking advantage of the momentum from the dodge, she explosively jumped high into the air. The airflow around her instantly formed a whirlpool as she spun around and kicked out one leg towards Duan Liuyun's right shoulder.

  Tan Nuoyu's counterattack was not beyond Duan Liuyun's expectations. His previous attack was meant to force her to make a move, and the moment Tan Nuoyu kicked out, Duan Liuyun simultaneously flew backward, avoiding Tan Nuoyu.

  Ke Tian didn't spin and fall back onto the ground, but instead immediately kicked out with his second foot.

  Double Flying Kick!

  However, for Duan Liu Yun, dealing with the Double Flying Kick was not a difficult task. He dodged Tian Nanyu's flying kick leg as easily as he had dodged her previous attack.

  However, Tian Nuoyu seemed to have unfolded her legs and would not retract them again. She spun around, landed on the tip of her foot, and then took off into the air once more, kicking out a second double flying kick. Seeing Duan Liuyun dodge sideways again, she touched the tip of her foot to the ground and kicked out a third double flying kick.

  "Great!" Mu Yu Xing still loudly shouted and rushed to Tian Nuan Yu, shouting: "Dragonfly, you're so cool!"

  Qiu Nianwei on the side gave Mu Yuxin a white eye: "With that broken kite, even Liuyun Ge won't help!"

  "I warn you, don't speak ill of Dragonfly," Mu Yu Xing glared at Qiu Nian Wei menacingly.

  Qiu Nianwei curled her lip in disdain and let out a soft "hmmph", no longer paying attention to Mu Yuexin, turning her gaze back to the scene inside.

  Mu Yu Xin was no longer paying attention to Qiu Nian Wei, and shifted her gaze back to Duan Liu Yun and Tian Nuan Yu on the field.

  Qiu Nianbo never uttered a word, his gaze closely following Duan Liuyun, and on his face, there was an almost imperceptible look of tension.

  Lan Shengyan took a big step back and stood outside the arena, looking at Tian Nuanyu with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

  Tian Nuanyu's third double flying kick was still dodged by Duan Liuyun.

  Suddenly, Duan Liuyun saw Tian Nuanyu's eyes, which had been calm all along, suddenly ignite a small spark. His heart skipped a beat, and when he saw Tian Nuanyu's body fall to the ground again, he took a step back, intending to counterattack first.

  But unexpectedly, Tian Nuanyu took the lead again, jumping up once more. This time she leaped higher than before and directly jumped above Duan Liuyun's head.

  "Drink......!"

  Tian Nuoyu lightly shouted, his right leg sinking down like Mount Tai pressing down on the top of Duan Liuyun's head!

  Lan Shengyan's expression suddenly solidified.

  Mu Yu-xin and Qiu Nian-wei were both shocked, while Qiu Nian-bo's tense expression was fully revealed.

  Duan Liuyun saw Tian Nuanyu's downward chop, but he felt as if his entire body was enveloped in the swirling airflow stirred up by Tian Nuanyu. He couldn't even open his arms and legs to counterattack, and could only stare blankly as Tian Nuanyu's leg chopped down towards his head.

  But just as Tian Nuoyu's foot was about to touch Duan Liuyun's head, it suddenly changed direction, and in the end her toes only lightly touched Duan Liuyun's left shoulder before she spun around and landed back on the ground.

  Tian Nuoyu stopped in her tracks, adjusted her breathing, gently tucked the few strands of hair that had fallen onto her face behind her ear, and then stood up straight, bowed deeply to Duan Liuyun.

  Duan Liuyun stood still, staring at Tian Nuanyu, who was dazed for a while.

  The whole room was silent.

  Suddenly, applause broke out.
