Chapter 38
Defeat
The outer sect competition hasn't started yet, so even if we lose to Gu Wanquan, it's not a big deal.
This is a good opportunity to test the gap between myself and Gu Wanquan!
What utter nonsense about the pride of a prodigy? Su Yi is a fake.
There's no such thing. Su Yi can afford to lose!
Yin Chaoge and the others, who had been looking down, suddenly raised their heads and stared incredulously at Su Yi, who had her back to them.
They didn't understand why Su Yi would go and fight a battle he couldn't possibly win.
Su Yi's ability to break through five realms in a single day is truly astonishing.
However, this is limited to the ordinary eighth level of Qi Refining, even if one's Water Arrow Technique is superb.
However, compared to Gu Wanquan, who could cause extraordinary phenomena in the heavens and earth, Su Yi, who was just an ordinary Qi Refining Eighth Heaven cultivator, had no qualifications to fight against Gu Wanquan at all!
Because they could sense that Gu Wanquan's strength was like an abyss, and the long sword hanging at his waist seemed capable of taking their lives at any moment!
Fighting Gu Wanquan now would be utterly humiliating for Su Yi!
"Come on, Junior Brother Su, I just broke through. You wouldn't be thinking of taking advantage of me, would you?" Gu Wanquan said with a smile, offering Su Yi a way out.
  
Su Yi blinked her charming eyes and said with a laugh, "Of course, otherwise I'd have even less chance to beat Senior Brother in the future!"
Gu Wanquan looked at Su Yi, whose eyes were serious despite his joking tone, and narrowed his long, phoenix-shaped eyes slightly: "Then I'm afraid I'll have to disappoint Junior Brother Su. Even now, you still can't beat me!"
"So I want to give it a try!" Su Yi persisted.
The atmosphere between the two cooled down.
Shi Ran wanted to say something to persuade him, but the words just wouldn't come out.
Faced with Gu Wanquan, whom he could not defeat at all, he didn't even have the courage to look him in the eye.
However, Senior Brother Su directly challenged the other party.
Such sincere courage, yet you yourself are cowardly and advise the other party to give up.
If Shi Bu couldn't open his mouth, neither could anyone else.
At this moment, Yin Chaoge looked at Su Yi and Gu Wanquan, biting her lower lip and frowning.
He was angry, angry at why he had been timid when he looked at Gu Wanquan earlier!
When Yin Chaoge felt humiliated, she wanted to challenge Gu Wanquan, but Su Yi beat her to it!
At this moment, Yin Chaoge's fists were clenched tightly in his sleeves, his nails digging into his flesh without him even noticing.
Gu Wanquan stopped joking and looked at Su Yi, tilting his head as he asked, "Are you serious?"
"Of course, I'm very serious!"
"When?"
"Now is the best time!"
Gu Wanquan stared at Su Yi for a while, then smiled casually, nodded, and said to Su Yi, "Okay, I promise you!"
The two men distanced themselves, while the others retreated to the corner of the wall, nervously watching the two men standing in the middle of the courtyard.
They didn't care about winning or losing, because the outcome had already been decided from the very beginning.
They were just nervous about how Gu Wanquan would defeat Su Yi after he attained enlightenment.
Ling Yao, the shortest of the two, looked at the two in the arena with some worry, concerned that Gu Wanquan might lose control and accidentally kill Su Yi.
After spending the last few days together, although Su Yi was quite detestable, he was surprisingly to her liking.
"Come on, Su Yi, hold on for a couple more moves!" Ling Yao suddenly shouted.
Xiao Tian, ​​who was standing nearby, also shouted, "Don't die, Brother Su!"
Su Yi turned around and glared at the two brainless body cultivators, her face full of black lines.
The fight hasn't even started yet, can't you expect something good from me?
With his right hand casually resting on the hilt of his sword, Gu Wanquan glanced at Ling Yao and Xiao Tian with interest, then turned to Su Yi and said with a smile, "I didn't expect Junior Brother Su to be so popular!"
Su Yi didn't respond at the moment, but instead quickly simulated all the possible scenarios in her mind.
"I'm shooting! Shooting! Shooting!"
Su Yi immediately launched a Grandmaster-level Water Arrow Technique, sending several water arrows flying rapidly toward Gu Wanquan, while Su Yi retreated quickly.
When fighting melee opponents from a distance, the most crucial thing is to maintain distance!
Standing still, Gu Wanquan didn't even draw his sword. He simply extended his left index finger and accurately touched the incoming water arrow as it flew towards him.
With a flick of the index finger, all the water arrows veered off course and scattered in all directions.
"The power is alright, but it's still too weak!" Gu Wanquan commented leisurely.
Su Yi didn't speak, but snapped her fingers, and the water arrow that had been deviating suddenly changed direction and flew towards Gu Wanquan again.
This time, Gu Wanquan held back and once again placed his left index finger on the water arrow.
But this time the water arrow wasn't deflected by the index finger; it was shattered directly by the index finger.
"Water Whip Technique!"
A water whip lashed out at Gu Wanquan, who dodged to the side. Several water arrows then rushed towards Gu Wanquan again!
Caught off guard, Gu Wanquan's inner energy surged instantly, deflecting several water arrows.
"To be able to instantly cast the Five Elements Escape Technique, Junior Brother Su's talent is truly terrifying!!" Gu Wanquan exclaimed in admiration.
"Shoot! Shoot! Shoot!"
"Shoot! Shoot! Shoot!"
Su Yi pointed his sword wildly at Gu Wanquan, and in an instant, countless water arrows gathered in the sky, rushing towards Gu Wanquan like a rain of arrows.
Looking at the rain of arrows before him, Gu Wanquan's eyes became slightly more serious. He loosely gripped the hilt of his sword with his right hand and gently raised it to sweep it across the ground.
A powerful slash of true energy cleaved through the rain of arrows.
Su Yi breathed slightly, looked at Gu Wanquan who hadn't even drawn his sword, and shook her head with a wry smile.
Su Yi hadn't had time to learn the purple skill "Gentle Touch" yet, and even if she had, she didn't plan to use it this time.
Aside from the defensive "Water Wall Technique," the life-saving "Water Clone Technique" is useless. Even after using both of his attack skills, he doesn't even have the chance to force the opponent to draw their sword!
The version's chosen one really doesn't make any sense!
There's no point in continuing the fight; my attacks are having no effect on the opponent.
Su Yi raised her hand, shook her head at Gu Wanquan, and said with a wry smile, "Senior Brother's cultivation is unfathomable; I've lost!"
Gu Wanquan smiled gently and said, "Junior Brother's final move, 'Rain of Arrows,' was equally remarkable!"
It is extraordinary, so extraordinary that it doesn't even have the right to force you to draw your sword.
Su Yi then realized that this black sesame dumpling in front of her especially liked to show off by praising others!
It makes you appear humble, but also makes you seem even more awesome!
Damn, even their pretentiousness is so sophisticated?
Su Yi thanked Gu Wanquan, then turned and headed towards her room, not even wanting to wash the dishes anymore.
The onlookers assumed that Su Yi had been hurt and was in a bad mood.
Su Yi's rain of arrows just now was indeed amazing. Just imagine, if they wanted to block Su Yi's move, they would probably have some difficulty.
What made them feel even more desperate was that Gu Wanquan accepted the move with ease.
They were all well aware of just how big the gap in strength was.
Just as Su Yi was about to reach the room door, a familiar voice came from above:
"My two junior brothers are truly amazing!"
This is a good opportunity to test the gap between myself and Gu Wanquan!
What utter nonsense about the pride of a prodigy? Su Yi is a fake.
There's no such thing. Su Yi can afford to lose!
