The Ruler Of All 187 Battle with the imps!

Chun Tao stood in a relaxed position, similar to that of Zhu Long's normal stance, but some parts were a little different. It seemed like Chun Tao was trying to put her own twist in the stance.

Zhu Long nodded and continued to watch Chun Tao. He was waiting to see what she would do. It had been oven a year since he accepted Chun Tao as his own disciple and Zhu Long could say many praises about her, especially how observant she was. 

Zhu Long had noticed that every time he practice his sword, Chun Tao would always watch him closely, even to the point of watching the movement of his robe to understand how the wind moved around Zhu Long's body when he attacked a specific way.

"Lotus Strike, first. The most basic attack of the lotus arts, but it is difficult to perfect. This one perfected it in her second try… Granted, she had watched me do it thousands of times but still… this little girl has a gift for the sword arts, I can feel it. I'll just have trained her properly after she finishes her test." Zhu Long said to himself.

Chun Tao struck forward, towards the Imp that was at the front, a straight thrust towards the imp's body. *petchuii!!* The imp's heart had been penetrated, and it died instantly.

5 more. 

Chun Tao followed her thrust and used its power to properly herself towards the second imp. This time, as she pushed her body forward, it looked as if she was falling down. But just before she hit the ground, her body quickly but gracefully flipped forwards.

As Chun Tao flipped in the air, holding her sword out. "Ahh, she just transitioned her attack from a thrust to a top spin. Required outstanding balance and good flexibility. This girl, just by unlocking her meridians, she has already gotten this good at using a sword. I wonder how much she can evolve. I can see some mistakes in her attack, but those are just from a lack of foundations." Zhu Long observed Chun Tao's movements.

*Petchuii!* Another imp got cut in half, but it seems like Chun Tao was a bit off and the cut wasn't like before. Her accuracy was off.

"It seems like the imps have gotten faster… If just 5 remaining imps are this powerful… I can't fully imagine how powerful the last imp will be." Chun Tao got a little worried. This was a test, she had to pass if she wanted to go back, but it seemed less possible.

She had been using her full power till now, but in return, her qi was running out and she didn't have enough time to replenish.

An hour passed, 2 imps remained. Chun Tao's body was filled with scratches. The imps had attacked her all at once, making it close to impossible to her to defend all the attack. All she could do was dodge the more deadly attacks and bear the ones that would do less damage.

Chun Tao held onto her sword, she was panting non stop, her body was close to collapsing. The qi within her body was nearly dry. 

An Imp quickly jumped towards Chun Tao, aiming for her head. Surprise caught Chun Tao. She wanted to take a breather, but as soon as she let her guard down; the imp attacked her, she couldn't do anything to defend herself. If this attack landed, it would be severe.

*Petchuii!*

*Petchuii!*

The two remaining imps squalled in pain, the bodies fell limply on the ground. One fell on Chun Tao's feet, drenching her feet in blood.

"Hmm, you have failed." Zhu Long said as he stood before Chun Tao. "Girl, you are lucky that I saved you. If not, your eyes might have been gouged out. Old Yang here doesn't hold back, even if it will kill you, he doesn't care."

Chun tao dropped to the floor, her eyes teary. "I failed…" She said to herself as she looked towards Zhu Long, "Master… Please, I want to be more powerful, I want to keep master's pride and never lose again." Her face had initially turned into sadness, but she quickly changed it to determination. 

Zhu Long looked towards Old Yang, who just nodded in return. The two were taken back to the garden. "Child, you have yet to learn many things about the sword. You first strike was perfect, but that was only the first strike. The others progressively get hard. You can perfect them easily, but You'll need time to understand how those moves work and how they can be used."

Zhu Long put his hand on Chun Tao's head and patted her, "You were close… I'm sure that after more practice, you can defeat those imps."

I need to increase words, Ignore:
