Clans were a very broad concept. Shangdu's Chi Clan was very good at magic techniques, especially fire magic. Most of the elders and the powerhouses in Chi Clan specialized in fire, but there were also some unexpected geniuses that were talented in other areas.

For example, Chi Lan cultivated on the lightning and fire path. His attack power was explosive, and anything in his hands could become his weapon. He did not purposely cultivate the sword or any other skills, and only used power to break through all techniques. When one stood in front of Chi Lan, they would understand that these things were nothing but external props. In the face of absolute power, they were just that weak.

Another example of this was Chi Jian.

Chi Jian was also considered a genius within the clan, but because the previous generation was too brilliant, it seemed very normal for him to have such a cultivation at his current age. Of course, his low-key personality was also a factor – he was the kind of person who did not pay attention to anything other than cultivation. He only had eyes for his sword, and everything else was nothing but wooden blocks to him.

Perhaps only when he saw an opponent would his eyes shine brightly, and then his intent to fight would rise up.

When the two sword cultivators met, there was really just a few things they could do. Yu Shaofeng and Chi Jian looked at each other for a moment, then turned to the sparring venue that Wang Clan had set up. During the inter-sect competition, other than the battle arenas, the sparring platform was the only place where cultivators were allowed to fight as they liked.

Both of them were of the younger generation, and their cultivation levels differed by a rank, so they had no intention of fighting directly. They competed against each other with sword intent alone, comparing their understanding of the meaning of the sword.

For sword cultivators, to be able to meet another person who understood sword intent, let alone one who felt like old friends upon first meeting, was a very rare thing. Even if there were so many sword cultivators in Sky Sword Sect, there were only a few who understood their own sword intent, and most of them were leaders of their own groups. Even fewer were as young as Yu Shaofeng.

He was still a young boy. His little steamed bun face had not yet grown up and still carried traces of softness, but he had already gotten much taller in the past two months, his figure relatively tall and upright. Coupled with the Sky Sword Sect's blue and white sect uniform, he looked very proper and good looking, and when he smiled, dimples loomed in the corners of his mouth, making him look as bright as a small sun.

Chi Jian, like his name, also had a fire spiritual root. But for some reason, the sword intent that he had developed was just like an ice crystal, and his spiritual root and sword intent were like two extremes.

Unlike his appearance, Yu Shaofeng's sword intent was fierce and violent, and carried a compelling momentum. It was aggressive, like thunder and lightning falling in succession, refusing to stop until their opponent was cut down.

These were two very different types of swordsmanship, but in the later stage of their sparring, they seemed to strangely blend together. The feeling that they were at odds with each other lessened considerably. Their gazes met again, and they could see the surprise in each other's eyes.

Things like sword intent were very vague and unpredictable. Yu Shaofeng had only recently understood the meaning of his sword. A few days ago, when he met Chi Lan, perhaps because the violent lightning contained in his sword intent was similar to his power, Chi Lan had also given him a few pointers on his sword intent. With those one or two sentences from Chi Lan, Yu Shaofeng's sword intent was not the slightest bit weaker than Chi Jian's despite not having his own sword.
