225: Not the same kind of people

“What are you Two People laughing at?”

Gu Tong felt a strong sense of ridicule, and his expression was exceedingly grim.

Especially since Shen Xi and the Savage Youth had previously been wary of him, considering him a formidable opponent, but now, their attitudes had clearly changed.

Not to say contemptuous, but at the very least, they no longer regarded him as a powerful adversary.

This made Gu Tong’s Face increasingly hard to maintain.

What was his status?

In the previous session, he was undefeated among his peers, overpowering the crowd to become the top ranker of his time, and had even stepped into the Martial Dao Five Realms Realm, holding a place even among Secluded Factions.

By what right did these Two People look down on him?

“I thought you truly possessed great perseverance and determination, intending to start anew. Now it seems I overestimated you.”

The Savage Youth’s personality was exactly like the Qi he exuded—straightforward and without pretense.

“What do you mean?”

Gu Tong’s expression darkened, his anger growing even fiercer.

“Literal meaning. You don’t have the determination to start anew; it’s simply because you lack confidence.”

Shen Xi added from the side.

Through their interaction, he and the Savage Youth had seen through Gu Tong’s true situation.

To put it nicely, it was called having great perseverance and determination, starting anew.

To put it harshly, wasn’t it just a lack of confidence in his own Martial Dao path, believing his path wasn’t stable enough, which led him to choose to cut himself off?

The former was for the sake of becoming stronger, for the sake of Nirvana.

The latter was out of necessity, having no choice but to do so.

The difference between the two was simply incomparable.

Originally, Shen Xi and the Savage Youth hadn’t thought in this direction, but Gu Tong’s slightly hesitant actions just now confirmed their suspicions.

If he were truly a fellow traveler on the Dao, he would absolutely not have backed down or retreated just now. How could a person who is timid in the Face of a strong enemy possess the courage to cut himself off?

The most reasonable explanation was that Gu Tong’s Cultivation had encountered problems, forcing him to do so.

Upon hearing this, Gu Tong’s Face instantly turned ashen.

The Two People were right.

He indeed had encountered problems in his own Cultivation, which forced him to cut himself off.

To be precise, there was a problem with the Cultivation Technique he Cultivated.

The rumors were true.

Gu Tong had obtained the Legacy of a Nirvana expert in the previous Chasing Wind Secret Realm.

However, he only acquired the upper half.

It was precisely because of the incomplete Cultivation Technique that Gu Tong’s Cultivation went awry.

And to remedy these issues, Gu Tong had cut himself off, re-entering the Chasing Wind Secret Realm to search for the lower half of the Cultivation Technique.

Otherwise, Gu Tong’s achievements in this life would be limited to the Dian Ling Realm.

Gu Tong hadn’t expected that Shen Xi and the Savage Youth would instantly see the crux of the problem and directly state it in front of everyone.

This made him lose Face and made his teeth itch with hatred.

But when he thought of the combat power of Shen Xi and the Savage Youth, he had to weigh whether he was an opponent for their combined strength.

These subtle changes in expression also did not escape the eyes of Shen Xi and the other Two People.

This made the Two People look down on Gu Tong even more.

From beginning to end, the Two People had never said they would join forces, nor did they bother to join forces against an enemy.

But Gu Tong was fundamentally not the same kind of person as them, so he naturally wouldn't think of this point.

This made the Two People feel that their previous high regard for Gu Tong seemed somewhat ridiculous.

“Don’t worry, I won’t make a move against you.”

Shen Xi said with a half-smile.

His tone was as if he was saying, don't be afraid, I will let you off.

“Me too, no interest.”

The Savage Youth shrugged, indicating his stance.

He yearned to fight a powerful opponent, not someone like Gu Tong.

Even if the other party was renowned, so what? If given enough time, he was a hundred percent certain he could surpass Gu Tong.

“Instead, I’m a little interested in you.”

Then, the Savage Youth’s gaze fell upon Shen Xi.

This was a kindred spirit.

Both were confident Prodigy-level Geniuses.

Such an opponent would have a tempering effect and be worth fighting.

“Anytime, but you’ll have to wait a moment.”

Shen Xi naturally wouldn’t back down, but he still politely refused.

“What do you mean?”

The Savage Youth frowned, thinking he had misjudged.

Could it be that this guy in front of him was like Gu Tong, a timid coward?

If so, it would be too uninteresting.

Could it be that there wasn't a single opponent worth noting on this trip to the Chasing Wind Secret Realm?

“I still have some important matters to resolve. Once I’ve resolved them, if you want to fight, I will fight!”

Shen Xi paused, then continued, “Of course, if you want to act now, I’ll accompany you to the end.”

Full of domineering aura!

Not yielding an inch!

Shen Xi’s attitude was very clear.

Although he still had things to deal with, if the Savage Youth still wanted a fight, he was fearless.

“Hahaha!”

The Savage Youth burst into laughter again.

However, unlike when he faced Gu Tong, this was not mockery, but the laughter of someone who had found an opponent and was eager for a challenge.

He had finally met an interesting fellow; otherwise, this Chasing Wind Secret Realm trip would have been too boring.

“Then I’ll wait for you to resolve your matters.”

With that, the Savage Youth stepped aside, no longer interfering.

As for Shen Xi, he refocused his gaze on Gu Tong, but his mouth said, “Chu He, this person is yours.”

“Alright!” Chu He excitedly stepped forward.

He knew that the reason Shen Xi had stepped forward was for him.

Using Xue Ye as a stepping stone, he seized the opportunity to make a point.

And then confront Gu Tong.

Everything was to give him the chance to personally avenge himself.

Chu He naturally wouldn’t let go of this excellent opportunity.

His eyes were fierce, filled with hatred, as he stared intently at Xue Ye: “Xue Family, Xue Ye, do you still remember me?”

Killing intent permeated the air.

Seeing Xue Ye, Chu He’s mind couldn’t help but recall the scene of his family’s demise.

“You are a remnant of the Chu Family?”

Xue Ye was greatly alarmed; he had already sensed Chu He’s current strength.

Late Acquired Realm, with combat power comparable to the Initial Stage of the Acquired Realm.

With his combat power, he was simply no match for Chu He.

“To hell with your remnant!”

Chu He was furious and immediately launched his ultimate move.

Seeing this, Xue Ye hastily cried for help: “Lord Gu Tong, save me!”

“Presumptuous!”

Gu Tong snorted coldly, seething with anger.

Ever since Shen Xi and the Savage Youth exposed his true situation, the Two People had selectively ignored him.

This made him, who had always been revered, feel defeated.

No one dared to treat him like this!

Now, Chu He even dared to attack Xue Ye in front of him, which felt even more like an invisible slap across his Face.
