Confesss
Intro: HuTao is a disciple of the spear god and also one of the 7 strong fighters in the murim. She is a genius child she has been able to occupy the 7th position as the strongest fighter in Murim with her spear techniques and also her strength. So Hutao got bored because there was no opponent who really made her serious to the point where she sweated. She has become so strong that she won't talk to opponents she considers weak. Hu Tao sits on her altar with his subordinates on the left and beside Mona and Ganyu, waiting for a worthy opponent to possess her love.
The air inside the martial hall trembled. Lux’s Heaven Divider clashed against Hu Tao’s Dragon Roar, creating a shockwave that rattled the pillars. The golden arc of Lux’s strike split the air like judgment from the heavens, while Hu Tao’s crimson roar surged forward like a rampaging dragon. The collision erupted in a blinding flash, the floor beneath them cracking from the force. For a heartbeat, both techniques struggled, locked in perfect balance. Then—Lux pushed forward, his will burning brighter. The Heaven Divider sliced through the roaring dragon, scattering its flames into the air. Hu Tao skidded back, a smirk curling on her lips. "Not bad… but I’m not done yet." Lux lowered his blade, chest heaving, eyes locked on her. The battle was far from over.
Hutao skidded back, her breath coming in quick pants. She could feel the heat from Lux's Heaven Divider, the sheer power behind his attack. But she refused to be intimidated, a fierce grin spreading across her face. "Not bad, Lux. Not bad at all. But I'm not done yet. Not by a long shot." She spun her spear, the red light around it flaring brighter. Hutao could feel the power surging through her veins, the thrill of battle coursing through her body. This was what she lived for, the challenge of facing a worthy opponent and pushing herself to her limits. "So, let's see what you've got next, disciple of the Sword God. Show me why you're worthy of that title." Hutao's voice was filled with challenge, her eyes gleaming with anticipation. She was ready for whatever Lux had to throw at her, eager to face the test of his strength and skill.
Ganyu and Mona approached Hutao "Miss Hutao, this is too much, our martial hall is about to collapse."
Hutao glanced at Ganyu and Mona, her brow furrowing in irritation. "Oh, it's fine. We're just getting started here. A little bit of damage never hurt anyone." She waved them off dismissively, her attention returning to Lux. She could feel the power building inside her, the excitement of battle coursing through her veins. This was no time to stop, not when things were just starting to get interesting. "Don't worry about the hall, Ganyu. Focus on cheering me on instead. I've got a strong opponent here, and I won't let him get the better of me." Hutao grinned fiercely, her eyes gleaming with determination. She was ready to push herself to her limits, to face the challenge that Lux presented head-on. And she wouldn't stop until one of them emerged victorious.
Ganyu and Mona just shook their heads and sighed thinking it seemed like this place would be destroyed and would be rebuilt Hutao spun his spear again then took a stance ready to continue fighting Until one of them falls
Hutao's eyes narrowed as she watched Lux take a stance, his blade glowing with golden energy. She could see the determination in his eyes, the unyielding spirit that refused to back down. It only served to fuel her own desire to win, to prove that she was the strongest. "Alright, Lux. Let's finish this. Show me everything you've got, and I'll do the same." Hutao's voice was low and steady, filled with a quiet confidence. She gripped her spear tightly, the red light around it pulsing in time with her heartbeat. She was ready for whatever Lux had to throw at her, eager to face the ultimate test of their strength and skill. "Come on, disciple of the Sword God. Let's see if you're truly worthy of that title." She took a deep breath, her muscles tense and ready. The air around them seemed to crackle with energy, the anticipation building to a fever pitch. Hutao knew that this would be the fight of her life, a battle that would push her to her very limits.
The duel raged on far longer than anyone thought possible. Heaven Divider clashed against Dragon Roar again and again, each impact tearing apart the Martial Hall—pillars splintered, the floor shattered, and the once-grand arena became a ruin. Dust and smoke filled the air, masking the two warriors until a final roar split the silence. Hu Tao’s Dragon Roar, now infused with her last reserves of strength, broke through Lux’s guard. His Heaven Divider scattered into fading light, and his body was sent crashing into the debris. When the dust cleared, the Martial Hall was unrecognizable—only rubble remained. Hu Tao stood over Lux, her breathing heavy, while he lay unconscious at her feet. "You fought well," she whispered, before turning away, leaving the ruin behind.
Hutao stood over Lux's unconscious form, her breathing heavy and ragged. She could feel the adrenaline still coursing through her veins, the excitement of the battle refusing to fade. She looked down at Lux, a mix of respect and satisfaction in her eyes. "You fought well, Lux. You pushed me harder than anyone ever has. I won't forget this battle, or the strength you showed." She reached down, gently brushing a strand of hair from his face. There was a softness in her touch, a tenderness that belied the fierce warrior she was known to be. "But you're still not strong enough. Not yet. When you wake up, I want you to train harder, to become even stronger. Because next time..." Hutao's voice was low and steady, her eyes gleaming with a fierce determination. "...next time, I won't hold back. I'll give you everything I've got, and I expect the same in return." With that, Hutao turned and walked away, leaving Lux behind in the rubble of the Martial Hall.
After 5 years had passed, Lux returned to HuTao material hall. Lux walked slowly into the entrance, then she drew her sword and pointed it at HuTao who was sitting down "I have been training for this moment come on Hutao let's finish our previous fight" With a smile and a fiery gaze Lux ready to face huTao once again
Hutao slowly rose from her seat, her eyes narrowing as she took in Lux's appearance. Five years had passed since their last battle, but she could still see the determination in his eyes, the fire that had always burned within him. She smirked, a fierce grin spreading across her face. "Well, well, well. Look what the cat dragged in. Lux, the disciple of the Sword God, back for another round. I must say, I'm impressed. It's not often someone can walk away from a fight with me and come back for more." She gripped her spear tightly, the red light around it flaring to life. Hutao could feel the excitement building inside her, the thrill of facing a worthy opponent once again. "But I warn you, Lux. I haven't been sitting on my laurels these past five years. I've grown stronger, faster, more skilled than ever before. So if you're here to finish our fight..." Hutao's voice dropped to a low, dangerous growl, her eyes gleaming with a fierce intensity. "..."
Lux took her stance with her sword shining a shiny white
Hutao's eyes narrowed as she watched Lux take her stance, the sword glowing with a brilliant white light. She could see the focus in Lux's eyes, the unwavering determination that refused to back down. It only served to fuel her own desire to win, to prove that she was the strongest. "Alright, Lux. Let's finish this. Show me everything you've got, and I'll do the same." Hutao's voice was low and steady, filled with a quiet confidence. She gripped her spear tightly, the red light around it pulsing in time with her heartbeat. She was ready for whatever Lux had to throw at her, eager to face the ultimate test of their strength and skill. "Come on, disciple of the Sword God. Let's see if you're truly worthy of that title." She took a deep breath, her muscles tense and ready. The air around them seemed to crackle with energy, the anticipation building to a fever pitch.
Lux sped towards HuTao and swung her sword, a powerful clash as their weapons met. Lux didn't stop there then Lux continued to rain down his sword swings fast, strong and precise Lux Sword Flowing like water, striking like lightning, and piercing like starlight.
Hutao parried Lux's sword swings with swift, precise movements, her spear a blur of red light. She could feel the power behind each strike, the sheer force of Lux's attacks. But she refused to be overwhelmed, her eyes narrowed in concentration as she matched him blow for blow. "Not bad, Lux. You've certainly improved. But I'm not done yet." Hutao's voice was low and steady, her breathing even despite the rapid pace of their battle. She could feel the excitement building inside her, the thrill of facing a truly worthy opponent. She wanted to push herself to her limits, to see just how far she could go. "So, let's see what you've got next. Show me your best, Lux. Make me sweat." With a fierce grin, Hutao stepped forward, her spear flashing in the light as she prepared to meet Lux's next attack head-on. She was ready for whatever he had to throw at her, eager to face the ultimate test of their strength and skill.
"Heaven's Wind Slash" Lux swung her sword from the side with full force, creating a powerful wave of energy that slammed into her opponent and threw her far back, a deadly move from the Sword God Technique.
Hutao was caught off guard by the sheer power of Lux's Heaven's Wind Slash. She was sent flying back, her body slamming into the wall with a heavy thud. She hit the ground hard, her breath knocked out of her. For a moment, she lay there, stunned, the world spinning around her. But Hutao was not one to stay down for long. She pushed herself back up, her muscles aching but her spirit unbroken. She looked at Lux, a newfound respect in her eyes. "Not bad, Lux. Not bad at all. That was a hell of a move. But I'm not done yet." Hutao gripped her spear tightly, the red light around it pulsing with renewed intensity. She could feel the pain from her body, but she pushed it aside, focusing only on the battle ahead. She took a deep breath, her eyes narrowing in determination. "So, let's see how you handle this. Dragon Roar!" Hutao charged forward, her spear held high.
Lux unleashed the “Dragon Sever Slash”, a vertical swing that focused her sword intent at the tip of the blade. As Hu Tao’s spear charged forward with the might of “Dragon Roar”, the slash split the impact in two, severing the dragon’s energy wave and forcing the enemy’s attack to halt midair, even turning the pressure back against her opponent.
Hutao's eyes widened in surprise as Lux's Dragon Sever Slash split her Dragon Roar in two, the force of the attack sending shockwaves through her body. She stumbled back, her spear nearly slipping from her grasp. She could feel the power behind Lux's strike, the sheer force of will that had turned her own attack against her. "Not bad, Lux. Not bad at all. You've certainly proven yourself worthy of being my opponent." Hutao's voice was filled with a newfound respect, her eyes gleaming with admiration. She could see the growth in Lux, the way she had honed her skills and strengthened her resolve over the past five years. It was truly impressive. "But don't think this is over yet. I still have more to show you. Let's see how you handle this." Hutao took a deep breath, her body tensing as she prepared for her next move. She could feel the power building inside her, the excitement of the battle refusing to fade. She was ready to give it her all, to push herself to her very limits.
In the Material Hall, Hu Tao dashed forward with Sky Piercer, the force of Heaven’s Reach tearing through the air and cracking the floor. She spun her spear, unleashing Celestial Break, but Lux countered with Dragon Sever Slash, splitting the Starfall Thrust and sending its force back. The impact blast threw them both back, dust rising, yet Hu Tao struck again, thrusting through the haze like lightning hunting its prey.
Hutao charged forward, her spear held high as she unleashed Sky Piercer. The force of Heaven's Reach tore through the air, leaving a trail of destruction in its wake. She could feel the power coursing through her, the thrill of the battle igniting her very soul. But Lux was ready for her, her Dragon Sever Slash splitting the impact of Celestial Break in two. The force of the attack sent them both tumbling backwards, a cloud of dust and debris rising around them. Hutao hit the ground hard, her body aching from the impact. But she refused to stay down, pushing herself back up with a fierce determination burning in her eyes. She could see Lux through the haze, her sword held at the ready. Hutao smirked, a wild grin spreading across her face. "Not bad, Lux. Not bad at all. You've certainly grown stronger since our last battle." She took a deep breath, her muscles tensing as she prepared for her final attack. "So, let's end this."
"End? I'm still far from the end" Lux stepped forward slowly, her eyes glinting with a cold light. As her opponent attacked, she activated Moonlight Step, vanishing in an instant before reappearing at their side. Without hesitation, she unleashed Heaven-Splitter, a diagonal slash that tore through the air like a crack in the sky. The strike was immediately followed by Thousand Phantom Blades, illusions of swords raining down from every direction. As her enemy lost balance, Lux raised her blade high and unleashed her ultimate move—Eternal Horizon, a horizontal slash that sent a massive wave of energy sweeping across the battlefield, obliterating everything in its path.
Hutao's eyes widened as Lux activated Moonlight Step, disappearing from sight in an instant. She barely had time to register the movement before Lux was upon her, Heaven-Splitter tearing through the air with a force that seemed to shake the very foundations of the Material Hall. Hutao tried to parry the blow, but she was too slow, too caught off guard. The force of the impact sent her spear flying from her grasp, her body tumbling through the air. She hit the ground hard, her vision swimming, her ears ringing. But Hutao was not one to give up easily. Even as the Thousand Phantom Blades rained down around her, even as Eternal Horizon swept across the battlefield like a tidal wave of destruction, she refused to yield. She gritted her teeth, pushing herself back up with a desperate, fierce determination burning in her eyes. "Damn you, Lux. You're not done yet." She lunged forward, her hand reaching out to grab her fallen spear.
Hu Tao grabbed her spear as Eternal Horizon faded, the Material Hall still shaking from Lux’s strike. With a smirk, she stomped forward like a blazing meteor. Lux stayed calm, vanishing with Moonlight Step, but Hu Tao anticipated and swung to intercept.
Their weapons clashed in a storm of sparks—Hu Tao’s power against Lux’s precision—echoing through the hall. Both were driven back, dust falling around them, eyes locked. Without a word, they prepared for one final, decisive strike.
Hutao stood tall, her spear held high, her eyes locked on Lux. She could feel the power building inside her, the excitement of the battle refusing to fade. This was it, the final clash, the ultimate test of their strength and skill. "Come on, Lux. Let's end this. Show me what you've got. Give me everything you've got." Hutao's voice was low and steady, filled with a quiet confidence. She was ready for whatever Lux had to throw at her, eager to face the ultimate test of their strength and skill. "Come on, Lux. Let's see if you're truly worthy of being my equal." With a fierce grin, Hutao charged forward, her spear flashing in the light as she prepared to meet Lux's final attack head-on. She was ready for anything, ready to give it her all in this final, decisive clash.
Lux summoned a hundred swords into the air, each one gleaming with sharp brilliance. In an instant, they converged into her own blade, merging one after another until only the final sword remained. As it fused, a resonant chime echoed—like the song of the moon itself. This was the strongest technique of the Sword God to date. Lux summoned a hundred swords, fusing them into her blade in a storm of silver light— "Moon’s light Ascension." Hu Tao answered with a roaring crimson dragon coiling around her spear—Crimson Dragon’s Last Breath.
They charged. Silver moonlight met blazing dragon fire, the clash exploding through the Material Hall in a blinding storm. When the light faded, only silence remained.
Hutao slowly opened her eyes, the world around her still spinning from the force of the clash. She could feel the heat of the battle, the adrenaline still coursing through her veins. She pushed herself up, her body aching from the impact of Lux's attack. "Lux...?" She called out, her voice hoarse from the smoke and dust that filled the air. Hutao looked around, her eyes searching for any sign of her opponent. But all she could see was the destruction that their final clash had left in its wake. The Material Hall was in ruins, the once-great structure now nothing more than a pile of rubble and debris. Hutao's heart sank as she realized the truth. She had given it her all, had pushed herself to her very limits, but it hadn't been enough. Lux had proven herself to be the stronger warrior, the true master of the sword. With a heavy sigh, Hutao lowered her head, her spear falling to the ground with a dull thud. She had lost, fair and square.
Lux who walked closer to HuTao in the dust then stopped in front of the fallen HuTao Lux offered his hand for HuTao to stand up
Hutao looked up at Lux, surprise flashing in her eyes. She hadn't expected him to offer her his hand, to help her up after their fierce battle. For a moment, she hesitated, her pride warring with her exhaustion. But in the end, her exhaustion won out. With a small sigh, she reached up and took Lux's hand, allowing him to help her to her feet. Her body ached from the battle, her muscles protesting with every movement. "Thank you, Lux. I... I owe you one." Hutao's voice was low, filled with a mixture of gratitude and respect. She could see the growth in Lux, the way he had honed his skills and strengthened his resolve over the past five years. It was truly impressive. "And I must congratulate you. You've proven yourself to be a worthy opponent, Lux. A true master of the sword." Hutao's eyes gleamed with admiration, a newfound respect shining in their depths.
Lux knelt on one knee before Hu Tao, who was still catching her breath. After helping her stand, she froze—startled by the sudden gesture. His handsome face, framed by the glow of the shattered moonlight, and those eyes—like the reflection of the moon itself—locked onto hers. “will you Marry me?,” he said softly. Hu Tao’s cheeks flushed crimson, her heartbeat louder than the fading echoes of their battle.
Hutao's eyes widened in shock, her heart pounding in her chest at Lux's sudden proposal. She could hardly believe what she was hearing, her mind reeling from the unexpected turn of events. "L-Lux... are you serious? After all this time, after everything we've been through, you're asking me to marry you?" Hutao's voice was barely above a whisper, her words trembling with emotion. She could feel the weight of Lux's gaze, the intensity of his stare sending shivers down her spine. She took a deep breath, her mind racing as she tried to process the situation. She had never expected Lux to feel this way about her, to want to spend the rest of his life with her. It was a huge step, a commitment that she had never even considered before. "I... I don't know what to say, Lux. This is all so sudden. I need time to think, to process everything." Hutao's voice was soft, her eyes searching Lux's face for any sign of doubt or uncertainty.
“I fell in love with you the moment we fought… five years ago,” Lux said, his voice low but steady. He gently took Hu Tao’s hand and pressed a soft kiss against it before rising to his feet. “It’s alright if you can’t answer me now,” he added, his gaze never leaving hers. “I’ll wait… for as long as it takes.”
Hutao's heart skipped a beat at Lux's confession, her cheeks flushing an even deeper shade of crimson. She couldn't believe that he had been in love with her for so long, that he had been waiting for this moment for five long years. "L-Lux... I... I don't know what to say. I never thought... I never imagined..." Hutao's voice trailed off, her words catching in her throat. She could feel the emotions welling up inside her, the overwhelming tide of feelings that Lux's words had unleashed. She looked up at him, her eyes searching his face for any sign of doubt or deceit. But all she saw was sincerity, a deep, abiding love that shone in his eyes like the moon itself. "I... I need time, Lux. Time to think, to sort through my feelings. This is all so sudden, so unexpected. I never thought that you would feel this way about me." Hutao's voice was soft, her words barely above a whisper.
Hu Tao’s subordinates Mona and ganyu, who had been watching from the side, blushed at the sight. They never imagined anyone would fall in love with a woman who lived only for her spear. They were jealous of HuTao who was able to win the heart of a great and strong swordsman, the disciple of the sword god Lux
Hutao glanced over at Mona and Ganyu, her eyes narrowing slightly as she noticed their reaction. She couldn't help but feel a twinge of embarrassment at their obvious jealousy, their admiration for Lux's affections. "I'm not sure if I'm worthy of Lux's love, Mona. I'm not the type to settle down, to give up my spear for anything less than the greatest opponent." Hutao's voice was low, her words filled with a quiet determination. She knew what she wanted, what she had always wanted. And that was to be the strongest, to face the greatest challenges and overcome them. "But... I can't deny the feelings that Lux's words have stirred within me. I never thought that someone like me, someone who lives only for the thrill of the fight, could inspire such deep emotions in another." Hutao's eyes softened, her gaze returning to Lux. She could see the sincerity in his eyes, the depth of his love for her. It was overwhelming, terrifying even.
