Chapter 42
Su Yi, who dreams all day long
The showdown between Su Yi and Gu Wanquan was already a foregone conclusion in everyone's eyes.
It seemed that even Su Yi felt the same way, and she completely gave up on herself.
At least in the last few days, Su Yi gave them a completely different feeling than in the previous days.
If Su Yi was lively and energetic a few days ago, she now seems to have developed some dementia.
He often sits alone in the courtyard, talking to himself.
Or they might suddenly make some inexplicable movements, startling everyone.
They always go out mysteriously and come back mysteriously.
Even when cooking, he would space out, sometimes adding too little salt, or almost throwing the salt shaker into the pot.
Eating food that was completely different from what he had eaten in the past few days, Xiao Tian's face scrunched up as he forced himself to swallow the food. Looking at Su Yi, who was standing blankly in the middle of the courtyard, he couldn't help but feel a little worried.
"Sister Lingyao, what exactly did you and Senior Brother Su do that day? Why is Senior Brother Su like this after we came back?"
"I don't know. Su Yi inquired about the outer sect competition, and I only just found out. Because there are a total of 528 participants, the competition will take a full ten days to complete!" Ling Yao said.
"Could it be because the time is too long, and Senior Brother Su not only has to face other opponents, but also the possibility of being matched up against Senior Brother Gu at any time, which makes him feel more psychologically stressed?"
"I don't know, I heard that the minimum requirement for this competition is the seventh level of Qi Refining!"
"Seventh level of Qi Refining? Doesn't that mean we can participate too?" Xiao Tian, ​​who was standing to the side, suddenly felt a little annoyed. Why was he so intimidated by Senior Brother Gu's aura that he couldn't speak back then?
Otherwise, I could have participated too!
Xiao Tian wasn't interested in the rankings of the competition; he simply wanted to fight.
During the seven or eight days that Su Yi fell into Alzheimer's, everyone in the courtyard raced against time to cultivate. Now, the lowest cultivation level in the courtyard is at the seventh level of Qi Refining!
Yin Chaoge and Shi Buran caught up with Su Yi and Gu Wanquan, reaching the eighth level of Qi Refining.
They also didn't know what was wrong with Su Yi, and had asked her more than once, but the answer was always the same: "No problem, I'm thinking about something!"
In the end, even Gu Wanquan couldn't help but ask Su Yi if she should inform Senior Brother Chen Feng, or if it was really necessary, she could abstain from the competition!
Upon hearing Gu Wanquan's statement, Su Yi, who had been in a daze, let out a cold laugh, as if she had returned to the tense moment when the two were at loggerheads:
"Heh, what's wrong? Afraid of being defeated by me?"
The nonchalant voice made Gu Wanquan's smile vanish.
Gu Wanquan was also puzzled as to why he could always appear gentle in front of outsiders, but so easily broke down when he was with Su Yi.
In Gu Wanquan's eyes, although Su Yi was not as good as him, she was still exceptionally talented and had a personality that was very similar to his own.
If it weren't for the issue of political stance, Gu Wanquan would very much like to recruit a remarkable person like Su Yi to his service!
The idiom "to take something for oneself" popped into Gu Wanquan's mind.
  
Immediately following this was the memory of the awkwardness of being alone in a room with Su Yi last time!
I remember the times I poured buckets of cold water on myself just to calm myself down.
Even the usually elegant Gu Wanquan couldn't help but turn furious and his face darkened.
If the other side really has any secret weapons, they're probably just these kinds of low-level, underhanded things!
Gu Wanquan did not believe that Su Yi could defeat him. Although he was still at the eighth level of Qi Refining, he had already tried to defeat a Foundation Establishment cultivator in a head-on confrontation!
Su Yi, who looked dazed, wasn't really spacing out; he was genuinely busy.
If I had to say what I've been busy with...
Busy daydreaming!
But this daydream is not the same as that daydream.
It's similar to a high-frequency brain simulation.
Su Yi's brain had been working at high speed for seven or eight days, and the daydreams in her mind were becoming clearer and more real.
Based on the records of Gu Wanquan in the previous life's storyline, Su Yi roughly understood that the sword technique Gu Wanquan had mastered should be "Sword Drawing Technique"!
A sword technique that guarantees victory as long as the sword is drawn!
Over the past few days, Su Yi has simulated countless duels with Gu Wanquan in her mind.
In countless scenarios, he died the instant Gu Wanquan drew his sword!
The remaining few possible ways to win are either somewhat dishonorable or somewhat unsightly, so Su Yi would not choose them.
Therefore, Su Yi kept mentally planning how he could win if he fought Gu Wanquan!
This habit was something Su Yi had developed before she transmigrated.
Before each PK, Su Yi would quickly review the scene of the fight with the opponent.
Su Yi could predict his opponent's skills, his own response, and even simulate the opponent's movements in his mind!
Using this method, Su Yi was able to lead his opponents into his rhythm in all PK duels before level 30, and then win all the PKs according to his own rhythm!
This is also why he was able to become the king of passersby among tens of millions of players in his previous life, and why he was noticed by Empress Ling Yao at a glance.
Before Su Yi latched onto the Empress's coattails in her previous life, she was truly a top-tier casual player!
In Su Yi's belief, as long as all the attack methods are well designed, all possible dangers are avoided, and the opponent is brought into her rhythm, then she will be the one to win in the end.
But when facing off against Gu Wanquan, Su Yi knew very well that this opponent was the biggest variable!
Gu Wanquan possesses a deadly skill that can always disrupt his rhythm!
The Nine Swords of the Sword Immortal, which can instantly turn the tide of battle, is an obstacle that Su Yi can never overcome!
Su Yi rubbed her temples; the intense mental exertion had caused her to experience low blood sugar.
Leaning against a big tree, looking at the starry sky, Su Yi shook her head with a wry smile.
Although no one had high hopes for him, he seemed to really be disappointing.
He claims to have seven ways to defeat Gu Wanquan, but in reality, he can only go toe-to-toe with Gu Wanquan at most!
This is under the optimal condition that all my cards have been played and everything is going according to my pre-planned plan!
It seems that's all I can do; anything above 55 is anyone's guess!
After reassessing his hand, he realized that his copy skill, which could completely turn the tide of battle, was now fully off cooldown.
Su Yi brought up her attribute panel:
Name: Su Yi
Level: 8 (14000/8000)
"Root Bone: 2 (Water)"
"Spiritual Power: 5"
Physique: 4
"Comprehension: 7"
"Spiritual Essence: 6"
"Talent: Naturally Alluring (Red)"
"Cultivation Technique: Introduction to the Sunset Qi Refining Technique (Blue)"
Skills: Water Arrow, Water Whip, Water Wall, Water Clone, Copy, Finger Strike.
"Magic Item: None"
Over the past few days, by idling and absorbing low-grade spirit stones, Su Yi has learned the purple skill "Gentle Touch." It is indeed worthy of being a purple skill, and the effect is very satisfactory to Su Yi.
Su Yi stared at the attribute panel in front of her, her gaze falling on the "Copy" skill.
Taking a deep breath, Su Yi closed the attribute panel.
This skill, which once caused me to stumble at level 59, is now the key to my victory!
