A sword rang out, and in an instant, a shaft of moonlight rose, transforming into a streak of Sword Aura in the air, slashing directly towards Wang Junze.
It was still the Profound Moon Sword Technique, but Zhou Yu had no intention of directly confronting Wang Junze. Instead, he relied on the Heavenly Stepping Realm’s power, using True Qi to condense Sword Qi for a distant attack. Although this weakened the power of the sword technique, it also minimized the risk.
No matter how exquisite your sword techniques are, you still have to hit your opponent.
Otherwise, just like now, Zhou Yu was still far away, and the Sword Qi had already reached him. Even if you broke through the opponent’s attack, you could only defend, powerless to counterattack, and had to keep enduring blows.
The Sword Edge trembled slightly, and Wang Junze naturally sensed the opponent’s strategy. In a flash, he shifted from Initiating the Game to Laozi, breaking through the Sword Aura in front of him at great speed and accelerated sharply towards Zhou Yu.
Closing the distance was his only choice for victory!
However, facing a Heaven-Stepping powerhouse, trying to approach was extremely difficult.
Zhou Yu seemed to have already planned how to respond to Wang Junze before the fight began.
Without any hesitation, as Wang Junze’s sword came at him, Zhou Yu flew into the air, perfectly avoiding Wang Junze’s lightning-fast sword!
Meanwhile, in the air, Zhou Yu didn’t stop his attacks and took the opportunity to unleash another streak of Sword Aura, slashing towards Wang Junze!
"Damn, that’s just bullying! Can you even fight ?"
For a moment, the audience was in an uproar!
The biggest difference between Heaven-Stepping and Refining Spirit is that Heaven-Stepping can fly. This alone almost ensures an invincible position.
After all, if it were not a competition but a real life-and-death struggle and Zhou Yu didn’t want to fight anymore, he could just fly away anytime, and Wang Junze could never catch up.
This style of fighting seemed to lack martial ethics.
However, this was a challenge beyond one’s level. Since he dared to make a move, he must accept the opponent’s advantage. It’s unreasonable to request the opponent to land and fight just because you can’t fly!
If it wasn’t a competition but facing such an opponent in real combat, the stakes would be life and death, not just win or lose.
"That’s right, if you’re going to make a move, you must use all advantages to push the opponent into a disadvantage."
Lightly nodding, Zhou Dongfei commented satisfactorily.
Even in the Sect Competition, it shouldn’t be child’s play. Attacking the opponent’s weakness with one’s strength is an iron law that any strong person should always remember.
"Even so, it won’t be easy for Zhou Yu to defeat Wang Junze this way." Shaking her head, Luo Bingyun calmly said, "Constantly attacking from the air consumes a lot of True Qi. Against an ordinary Refining Spirit opponent, it might work, but... Wang Junze’s True Qi is far stronger than usual Refining Spirit powerhouses."
"If this consumption continues, Wang Junze might not be the first to be unable to hold on!"
Luo Bingyun’s analysis was spot-on, directly pointing out the biggest issue.
"...in the end, it would at most be a draw!"
In the distance, the True Disciples also predicted the situation on the field.
Even if Wang Junze withstands Zhou Yu’s attacks, as long as Zhou Yu doesn’t voluntarily land, he remains invincible. Although Refining Spirit powerhouses can momentarily hover, attacking a Heaven-Stepping powerhouse flying in the sky is still too challenging.
"It depends on how Wang Junze responds. If it’s just at this level... that would be disappointing."
Luo Bingyun spoke again, "Though difficult, defeating a Heaven-Stepping opponent with Refining Spirit is not impossible. If he truly wishes to compete with top-tier prodigies, he must have the ability to handle such dilemmas... You don’t expect him to be just an ordinary genius, right?"
These words also highlighted Zhou Dongfei’s thoughts.
The so-called Sect Competition is merely a test of the True Disciples’ real levels. Letting Wang Junze challenge Heaven-Stepping disciples is just a probe, for if he can’t surpass this, when the Four Symbols Sect prodigies arrive, he will have no chance.
The Moon Fruit is precious; Zhou Dongfei wouldn’t be so generous, offering it as a reward, if not to prepare for the upcoming Four Symbols Sect challenge and possible worldly changes.
Some things, even Luo Bingyun didn’t know.
"These are premature assumptions, let’s first see their performance."
Zhou Dongfei noncommittally replied, shifting the topic.

Wang Junze had long been mentally prepared for this scenario. After all, he had witnessed Luo Qingxuan and Su Yuwei’s fight in the ruins and knew the advantages of Heaven-Stepping powerhouses!
Under normal circumstances, this is an unsolvable dilemma.
Because the suppression from the realm is the greatest challenge of going beyond one’s level.
It’s no exaggeration to say, if Condensing Truth versus Refining Spirit difficulty is ten, then Refining Spirit defeating Heaven-Stepping difficulty might be a hundred!
The stronger you are, the harder the challenge becomes, eventually becoming almost impossible.
Yet no matter how difficult, there’s still a chance if you can make up for the gap in other ways.
For Wang Junze, the only opportunity for such a reversal wasn’t Chess Swordsmanship, but... Sword Intent!
Suddenly a terrifying sword intent emanated, and within a few breaths, countless raindrops appeared around Wang Junze!
These raindrops, transformed from True Qi, also contained incredibly terrifying Sword Intent!
Wang Junze aimed to use this Sword Rain to seal the void, trapping Zhou Yu in the rain, then seize the chance for a decisive strike.
The Yu Luo swordsmanship, initially snatched from Lin Binqiang, wasn’t considered an exquisite sword technique now. But once comprehending the Rain Sword Intent and combining it with abundant True Qi, it could unleash far superior power than the sword technique itself.
Swords like raindrops pouring!
When this sword was unleashed, everyone around felt a sudden chill in their hearts!
Especially the disciples of the Profound Moon Sword Sect; they knew little about Wang Junze, never seeing him perform Rain Sword Intent before. Now witnessing this sword was deeply shocking!
Two types of Sword Intent!
Who would’ve thought, aside from the Profound Moon Sword Intent, Wang Junze had grasped another Sword Intent, and even... his insight into Rain Sword Intent surpassed that of the Profound Moon Sword Intent, which was simply monstrous.
