My Celestial Ascension-Chapter 462 A Heart Throbbing Duel

"Is that all you've got?" Yuan smirked at Valeria playfully, making her grit her teeth in frustration.

"Well, don't be disappointed, my dear. That was just a warm-up... Things will only get exciting from now on!" Valeria laughed and declared that her previous attack was just to warm up her muscles. She tightened her grip on her training sword and showed a wide grin.

"Here I come, my dear! Try to withstand this attack if you can!" Valeria leaped toward Yuan with a wide grin, her body suddenly vanishing and reappearing next to Yuan in the blink of an eye.

"Take this! Roaring Lion Claw!" Valeria swung her sword at Yuan, gritting her teeth as she used all her strength. The wooden sword in her hand suddenly glowed golden, and a huge phantom of a golden lion appeared, roaring furiously at Yuan.

The onlookers were shocked upon witnessing the phantom of the massive golden lion. They felt a powerful oppression from the golden lion that made their hearts beat faster.

"Isn't that one of the secret techniques of the royal familya�"the Roaring Lion Claw?" one of the onlookers shouted, recognizing the sword technique.

"Unbelievable... I never thought I'd see the day when a War General would use such a secret technique to spar with her husband," another onlooker muttered in a dazed voice, seemingly in disbelief.

A middle-aged man with a profound look on his face stepped forward and spoke, "In the past, the previous emperor used this very same technique to win many battles against magical monsters. He even became famous due to this technique and is known as the Golden Lion of the Lionheart Empire."

People were astonished upon hearing this and remembered that everything the middle-aged man said was true. They looked at Valeria on the training ground and couldn't help but feel very confused as to why she used such a powerful technique against her own husband.

Meanwhile, Yuan and his wives were also surprised as soon as their gaze fell on the massive phantom of the golden lion. Although they couldn't sense mana in the air, they still felt the powerful fluctuations.

"Oh, this thing looks super strong and magnificent. However..." A wide, cunning grin appeared on Yuan's face as he looked at the golden lion.

"What is it? Are you finally scared now?" Valeria smirked and raised her brows, knowing that she could never let her guard down against Yuan; he was simply too powerful.

"Scared? No. I'm not scared." Yuan shook his head with a small smile, finding it quite amusing. "It's just that this technique is harmless to me... it would barely mess my hair... it's simply too weak!"

"What did you say?" Valeria's face twisted in annoyance upon hearing Yuan call her technique weak. "Although you're a cultivator with great strength, don't underestimate my technique, or you will regret it later."

"No, I won't."

"Very well, then prepare yourself!" Valeria responded with a smirk as the golden lion moved with her sword.

Roar! Valeria swung her sword down at Yuan with all her strength, but Yuan just stood in place with a calm smile on his face.

The onlookers were shocked to see Yuan just standing there, doing nothing to defend himself. They were very confused by his actions and for a moment thought he had become unable to move due to the overwhelming strength of the attack.

'I never thought Valeria was still hiding such a powerful trump card. It's pretty damn powerful for a mortal... it's a pity that it's useless against me,' Yuan smiled inwardly.

He then looked at Valeria dashing toward him; her movement appeared very slow to him, as if time had begun to slow down. He glanced to the sideline and saw his wives with an anticipated look on their faces. Yuan smiled at them, then focused his gaze on Valeria and lifted his wooden sword to block the approaching attack.

Dang! A loud sound of metal colliding echoed through the training area, sending powerful ripples of shockwaves that swept across the grounds. The shockwave was so strong that it blew away a few people who were very close and left the other onlookers in disbelief.

The entire training ground was covered in dust, obscuring the view of everyone except for Yuan's wives. Anna lifted her hand, and with a flick of her palm, a powerful gust of wind appeared, blasting the dust away from the training ground.

The air was heavy with anticipation as everyone waited for the dust to settle. Eyes sparkled with excitement, and as soon as the dust cleared, everyone's eyes widened in surprise.

"What?!"

"Unbelievable... how could he manage to survive that attack?"

"How is this even possible? That's one of the most powerful secret techniques of the royal family!"

People were shocked beyond belief upon seeing Yuan emerge unscathed after receiving such a powerful attack head-on. The technique Valeria used was a legendary sword technique.

Meanwhile, on the training ground, Valeria looked at Yuan with a surprised expression. She knew Yuan would survive the attack, but she never thought he would do so without even a scratch on his clothes after receiving her attack head-on.

"I'm surprised that you managed to deflect my attack without even getting scratched, my dear. You are really strong, too strong in my opinion," Valeria said with a wide grin, feeling extremely proud that her man was so strong.

"Oh, are you thinking about giving up now?" Yuan smirked, raising his brows, amused by her response.

"Giving up? Don't mess with me with such nonsense! I will never give up, NEVER!"

Yuan looked at her and smiled. "In that case, let us continue, shall we?"

"Gladly!" A wide grin appeared on her face as she gripped her sword tightly.

They stared at each other for a few seconds before charging at each other. Suddenly, their figures vanished from sight, leaving the onlookers shocked and speechless at their speed.

Clang! Clang! In the blink of an eye, they exchanged thousands of blows, sending massive shockwaves through the training area. People could only see two blurry figures moving around, unable to keep up with the speed of Yuan and Valeria.

This continued for almost five minutes nonstop. The onlookers were shocked beyond belief, seeing sparks flying around the entire training area. They could only hear the sound of metal clashing and couldn't see Yuan and Valeria, even for a split second.

"This is so much fun!" Valeria exclaimed as she swung her sword down at Yuan, her eyes sparkling with excitement and joy.

"Indeed. I couldn't agree more. When I use my sword, I feel truly alive," Yuan muttered with a smile, effortlessly blocking her attack.

"It seems that we both crave the same thing, don't you think?" Valeria asked, trying her hardest to make her sword hit Yuan.

"Indeed, we both want to become strong and stand at the top of the world." Yuan nodded, effortlessly dodging her attack by moving to the side.

Valeria became very frustrated as none of her attacks reached Yuan. He would dodge every attack effortlessly or deflect it with a gentle movement of his sword.

"Yuan, let's end this with our next attack. I know I won't be able to land a hit on you even if we continue all day long. You're just too strong," Valeria declared, halting her steps and looking at him with a serious expression, tightening her grip on her wooden sword.

"Sure, let's do it!" Yuan nodded enthusiastically.

Meanwhile, among the onlookers, King Richard looked at Yuan and Valeria with a shocked expression, almost as if he was witnessing the unbelievable.

"A-Are they going to end this with powerful attacks?" he muttered in a shaky tone, his gaze fixed on Yuan and Valeria.

"It seems like it. I never truly understood my aunt; she could do strange things sometimes," Crown Prince Daniel sighed.

"I wonder what kind of technique War General Valeria is going to show us this time!" Archmage Isadora muttered with a gentle but curious smile. As a woman, she was looking forward to seeing how powerful Valeria was.

"Are you ready?" Valeria asked Yuan, prepared to attack him with her most powerful sword technique.

"Ready!" Yuan shouted as he prepared his sword technique as well.

"Then let's do it!"

Both of their swords glowed brilliantlya�"Valeria's sword in golden light and Yuan's in blue. They charged at each other at a terrifying speed, their figures vanishing from their spots. 𝐟𝐫eewe𝗯𝐧𝚘ve𝐥.c𝚘𝚖

"Majestic Lion's Roar!"

"One Sword, One Strike!"

BOOOOMMMMM!

Both swords collided, creating a massive explosion that sent powerful shockwaves miles away. People were dumbfounded by the sheer force of the collision. They had never witnessed such a powerful spar between two people before, and it made their hearts throb.

Sometime later, the dust began to settle, revealing the outcome: Valeria lay on the ground, breathing heavily, with a wide, satisfied grin on her face.

For everyone, the result of the spar was apparent. Yuan had won the duel with an overwhelming victory.

Yuan looked at Valeria and walked up to her. He offered his hand, saying, "That was an impressive technique you used against me, and I enjoyed our duel."

"Me too. I enjoyed every second of it. It was thrilling!" Valeria smiled at him.
