The turmoil of the martial world had yet to subside when the White Lotus Sect stirred up chaos among the martial clans, while forces from the imperial court began to infiltrate the jianghu. At that time, the young hero Lei Luoyang stumbled upon the manual for the Sky Wolf Swordplay. He withdrew to the mountains and devoted himself to training. The swordplay surged like a charging wolf, combining the force of thunder with unpredictable, uncanny moves. Its exquisite techniques included Chasing the Stars and Pursuing the Moon, and Windstorm Breaker. Only when driven by internal energy could its full power be unleashed. After half a year of hardship, Lei Luoyang finally grasped the essence of the swordplay. Having only just begun to master it, he was eager to descend the mountain and test himself, putting chivalry into practice.
Swordlight darted like a wolf's shadow, while saber energy swept across the earth like a cold wind. The nimble, ruthless Sky Wolf Swordplay clashed with the heavy, domineering Gray Wolf Saberplay, and shockwaves sent the surrounding plants flying. Lei Luoyang had only just mastered his swordplay, but he was bold and every move was fierce. Xiao Changtian had perfected his saberplay and calmly met every attack, refusing to yield an inch. After more than a hundred exchanges, neither could gain the upper hand, and both secretly marveled at the other's skill.
When the fierce battle ended, they lowered their weapons and nodded, recognizing each other as exceptional martial artists and feeling a deep mutual respect. With turmoil rising once more in the jianghu, they agreed to settle the matter another day, then each went his own way. This legendary encounter between sword and saber added a vivid stroke to the jianghu saga of The Sky Wolf Manual. In just over four hundred words, it captures the martial prowess of two evenly matched fighters.
