Chapter 12
: Let me go head-to-head with Gu Wanquan?
"Winning the outer sect competition and becoming an inner sect disciple as the top student?"
If Su Yi's guess is correct, in the original storyline, the one who won first place and became the chief inner disciple should have been that person.
One day, one level; one month, one foundation-building stage, entering the inner sect!
Is it Gu Wanquan, the White-Clad Sword Immortal?
Seriously? To complete this task, I have to win a head-to-head match against the protagonist from the first expansion pack of the game?
This system is giving me way too much credit.
You want me to fight Gu Wanquan? I'd rather fight him with my head!
Su Yi twitched the corner of his mouth, unable to imagine how he could possibly defeat this undefeated sword immortal!
Should I sacrifice my beauty and use my mythical talent of being naturally alluring?
In the official background information, this white-robed sword immortal is portrayed as a brilliant and righteous genius sword cultivator in the first half of his story.
He is humble and polite, and has a gentle and courteous personality.
Their strength is such that they can kill opponents of the same level in one move, and those of higher levels can be defeated as easily as drinking water.
His cultivation speed was also extremely fast. From the beginning of his cultivation to the destruction of a sect by himself, it was only ten years, and he had already become a level 80 Transcending Tribulation Grand Cultivator!
This triggered a great war between the righteous and the demonic forces, and under the combined attack of the two great cultivators, Yin Chaoge and Shi Buran, he died and his cultivation vanished.
Throughout my life, this was my only defeat!
And then you tell me to go head-to-head with this kind of person?
Why won't you let me write Yama's name in the Book of Life and Death?
Su Yi felt like she was being played. Although she had often been played in games before, it wasn't like this.
Yes, Su Yi has experience from her previous life and knows Gu Wanquan, the first boss at the beginning of "Immortal Path".
These are all advantages, but they are completely useless in the face of absolute strength!
Because I don't have time!
Right now, he only has a blank alt account. Su Yi hasn't had time to explore the game strategies from his previous life, nor has he searched for those cultivation manuals, rare and precious materials.
Even if everything is excavated and everyone is armed to the teeth, Su Yi wouldn't dare say he's guaranteed to win against Gu Wanquan.
Because when the chosen ones fight, they don't reason at all!
Breakthroughs in the heat of battle, sudden bursts of power, and fatal blows... these unconventional methods are as easy as drinking water for these chosen ones!
Even if he were to be defeated by himself by sheer luck, who knows if Gu Wanquan would shout slogans like "I have a reason not to lose!" or "Burn, my universe!" and make a full recovery to defeat him.
You're saying it's only been a month? Even if Gu Wanquan is a genius, how could he possibly ascend to immortality in a month?
The answer is of course no, but that's where the worst problem lies!
In the month-long outer sect competition, Gu Wanquan's cultivation might even surpass his own!
In the storyline, Gu Wanquan achieved Foundation Establishment in one month!
The outer sect competition will be held a month later.
Even if there are some discrepancies, Gu Wanquan would have broken through to the Foundation Establishment stage around the time of the outer sect competition!
Su Yi is limited by the promotion mission; at most, he can only reach the ninth level of Qi Refining, which is level 9!
To defeat Gu Wanquan, one must at least reach the Foundation Establishment stage, but to reach the Foundation Establishment stage, one must first defeat Gu Wanquan.
It went from being one-track-minded to being blocked at both ends!
Su Yi glanced at Gu Wanquan, who was being pulled along by the old sect leader, with a sense of utter despair.
Gu Wanquan looked at Su Yi as if they were telepathically connected, and then flashed Su Yi his signature eight-tooth smile.
You're laughing at my ass!
Looking at Gu Wanquan's gentle smile, Su Yi felt inexplicably irritated.
After all, the other party had become a stumbling block on his path of cultivation, and Su Yi couldn't stand Gu Wanquan no matter how she looked at him.
Are promotion tasks really that difficult?
Logically speaking, the level 10 promotion quest shouldn't be something like delivering a message or finding a dog; at most, it should be about eliminating two bandits.
Why did things start so badly for me?
Does "Immortal Journey" have a hell mode?
Thinking of this, Su Yi glared at Gu Wanquan, who was smiling at her, with a dark expression.
Gu Wanquan was taken aback when Su Yi glared at him, then smiled even more brightly at Su Yi!
The old sect leader, holding Xiao Tian's hand in one hand and Ling Yao's hand in the other, was giving a spirited and eloquent speech to the new disciples.
What?! You are all the future of my Falling Clouds Immortal Sect!
What? This is just the beginning, and you get to decide the ending!
What? Qualifications don't matter, what matters is having a pure heart that seeks the Way!
When you say that, why don't you take your hands off Xiao Tian and Ling Yao?
Before the future, every single person here will be overthrown by that kid in the white shirt behind you ten years from now!
Thinking of this, Su Yi suddenly came up with a plan: should she expose Gu Wanquan as the savage white python in disguise?
Then, the old man who was the sect leader turned around and slapped Gu Wanquan to his death. Even if the slap didn't kill Gu Wanquan, it allowed him to survive by sheer luck.
They would definitely be hunted down by the Luoxia Immortal Sect, so how could they have time to participate in any outer sect competition?
Thinking of this, Su Yi's eyes lit up, and she immediately felt it was feasible!
But then I thought about it again and felt discouraged.
Not to mention that the barbarian demons have no spiritual roots and specialize in cultivating demon cores.
With Gu Wanquan having awakened his sword spirit root, no one would doubt his human identity.
In the storyline, it wasn't until Yin Chaoge risked her life that she forced Gu Wanquan to reveal his true form as a white python, bringing the truth to light.
Having remained hidden for so many years without being discovered, Gu Wanquan must have had a way of concealing that he was a barbarian demon!
Now, relying solely on his own words to claim that Gu Wanquan, who just discovered his sword spirit root, is a barbarian demon, will not only have no effect, but will also earn him a label of jealousy towards his fellow disciples.
Knowing this secret would definitely make him a target of Gu Wanquan's attention.
Who knows when this cunning worm might just get itself killed?
If we say no directly, should we use this secret as leverage to force the other party to deliberately lose to us in the outer sect competition?
"You wouldn't want others to know you're a demon, would you?"
It seems unlikely. He'd probably draw his sword and kill him the moment he uttered those threatening words.
After thinking it over, it seems that no matter what, I can't beat that cunning worm!
Su Yi scratched his head, feeling like it was about to explode.
Are you alright?
Suddenly, Shi Buran, who was standing next to Su Yi, turned his head slightly and asked softly, looking at Su Yi who looked troubled.
Wow, that's really strange! Buddha actually spoke on his own initiative!
Su Yi said irritably, "Something's wrong. I've realized I might only ever be practicing Qi cultivation for the rest of my life!"
Shi Buran was taken aback, wondering why Su Yi would say such a thing. He thought Su Yi was so disappointed because she saw that the others in their group were valued by the sect leader because of their mutated spiritual roots.
When he and Su Yi were the only ones with ordinary spiritual roots among the group, Shi Buran felt that Su Yi was the one who was like him.
He himself was also an ordinary metal-type spiritual root, but Shi Buran believed that he was no worse than those standing next to the sect leader at this moment.
Thinking of this, Shi Ran whispered to Su Yi, "I will stop here and persuade her."
"Man proposes, God disposes!"
If Su Yi's guess is correct, in the original storyline, the one who won first place and became the chief inner disciple should have been that person.
One day, one level; one month, one foundation-building stage, entering the inner sect!
