Match 98: Twin Siblings, Mirror Styles
Two twin siblings, Jin and Jian, faced each other using the Mirror Lake Sword Style. Their fight wasn't just skillful—it was beautiful. Every move was reflected and refracted as if in perfect harmony.
At the end, they both fell simultaneously to each other's final strike.
The crowd held its breath.
Lin Mu slowly stood and said, "The result is secondary. What matters is this: both of your swords sought truth, not dominance. You reminded me that sometimes, a sword's greatest strength is understanding."
He awarded both a tie and gave them points toward advancement.
By the time the first hundred matches had concluded, a quiet change had begun to sweep across the sect.
Disciples weren't just fighting to win anymore—they were fighting to learn, to be seen, to be recognized by Lin Mu.
He wasn't a judge to be feared.
He was becoming a myth to strive for.
A month passed like a dream drawn in falling leaves and sword winds.
