89: Will he break his promise again in Chapter 89?
At this moment, Yan Chenzhou also noticed the change in Bai Zhaowei.
This peer, whom he had always surpassed, had truly overtaken him today.
In Yan Chenzhou's understanding, there should be no young peer in Da Shun who could beat him; at most, it would be a draw.
Yan Chenzhou knew in his heart that there were only three or four people who could fight him to a standstill.
Among those three or four people, Bai Zhaowei was not included.
But today, Bai Zhaowei was about to win against him.
Even after he had used his Shadow-Chasing Sword, it was still difficult to gain the upper hand.
The surrounding onlookers also perceived Yan Chenzhou's situation at this point.
The way they looked at Bai Zhaowei had completely changed.
The progress this Prodigy of the Bai Family had made during this time was beyond expectation.
Now, taking one step further, she was already a young Martial Artist on the same level as Yan Chenzhou.
Another ten moves passed.
Bai Zhaowei sheathed the sword in her hand.
Yan Chenzhou, who had originally wanted to continue his attack, hesitated before also sheathing his long and short swords.
The expression on his face was somewhat unsightly; it was clear that he was still very indignant.
But no matter how indignant he was, he knew he had lost.
He had lost thoroughly, with no room for doubt.
“Young Master Yan possesses the New Wood Physique and has extraordinary Opportunity and luck.”
“But it is precisely because of the New Wood Physique that you do not dare to consume Medicinal Pills or seek help from them.”
“Being overtaken by me was actually just me taking advantage of the circumstances.”
Although Bai Zhaowei had won, she still admired Yan Chenzhou.
These words were entirely spoken to help Yan Chenzhou save face and explain his loss.
After saying this, Bai Zhaowei turned her gaze toward Li Yuan.
There was a hint of pleading on her face, and she appeared quite sincere.
“Young Master Li Yuan, you witnessed the entire exchange between Young Master Yan Chenzhou and me just now.”
“I believe you saw his capabilities very clearly.”
“I recognize him as an opponent. Although I won by luck this time, I know he will catch up soon.”
“In the future, if I want to win against him a second time, I will have to work desperately hard.”
“Gaining such a martial arts Genius is a blessing for our entire Da Shun.”
Bai Zhaowei looked at Li Yuan, stating her views.
Clearly, her stance was very straightforward; she was standing on Yan Chenzhou's side.
“Young Master Yan's New Wood Physique truly needs the assistance of medicine.”
“Right now, he still has a vast amount of room to grow.”
“Young Master Li Yuan, if you help Young Master Yan with the Drug Trial, it would be a good thing for all of Da Shun.”
“Although your path of cultivation will be affected, Young Master Yan will win back your share of glory along with his own!”
Bai Zhaowei continued to persuade him, her tone being what one might call earnest and well-meaning.
Hearing her words, Li Yuan stood up directly from his seat.
“I said before, it's not that I won't do the Drug Trial for him, it's that he is not worthy of me doing it.”
“The people from the Yan Family said the same things you did earlier.”
“I've already proven what needed to be proven. Is the word of people like you worth nothing more than a fart?”
Li Yuan questioned her directly like that.
Previously he had questioned Yan Chenzhou, and now that Bai Zhaowei had stepped forward, he questioned her as well.
Hearing this, Bai Zhaowei sighed and shook her head helplessly. “I rarely dislike a person this much.”
“Even though we've only just met, I truly feel some disgust toward you, Young Master Li Yuan.”
Li Yuan smiled. “Since I've exposed your selfishness, how could you not hate me?”
“Self-centered and breaking promises.”
“Being hated by people like you only highlights my own good character.”
Being addressed so bluntly to her face, Bai Zhaowei's expression turned cold.
“I just sparred with Young Master Yan and won by luck.”
“I wonder if Young Master Li Yuan is interested in exchanging moves with me?”
“Rest assured, I will also suppress my Realm. If you can defeat me, it will prove you can defeat Young Master Yan.”
“If he breaks his word then, I will help you hold him accountable.”
Bai Zhaowei's words were full of stiffness.
She gave off the feeling that she really wanted to give Li Yuan a beating.
She said all this just to humiliate Li Yuan a little.
Bai Zhaowei did not believe Li Yuan would agree to spar with her.
After her fight with Yan Chenzhou, she and everyone around believed Li Yuan would not accept the challenge.
Yan Chenzhou's strength and hers should far exceed Li Yuan's.
Even if she suppressed her martial Realm, Li Yuan would surely lose.
In her view, Li Yuan would only use words to question, respond, and make excuses.
The impact of such words on Yan Chenzhou had become very small after this spar.
With the strength of people like Yan Chenzhou and Bai Zhaowei, how could they possibly go and perform a Drug Trial for Li Yuan?
Da Shun needed outstanding talent; how could they casually sacrifice a young Prodigy?
Once today's events were spread around...
Even if Yan Chenzhou publicly declared his willingness to undergo the Drug Trial, people would step forward to stop him.
But what Bai Zhaowei did not expect was that as soon as she finished speaking, Li Yuan actually walked out.
“The atmosphere has already reached this point. If I still don't step forward, who knows what other excuses people like you will find.”
“In that case, we might as well exchange a few moves.”
Li Yuan stood in the center of the garden, looking at Bai Zhaowei in front of him.
Bai Zhaowei glanced at Li Yuan, then exchanged a look with Yan Chenzhou.
“Young Master Yan, rest assured, I will help you obtain this Drug Trial Opportunity.”
“Only after you get this Drug Trial Opportunity can you truly embark on this path of cultivation.”
“Although I won this time, I know you will catch up in three months at most.”
Bai Zhaowei was still talking to Yan Chenzhou; it seemed the relationship between the two was becoming somewhat ambiguous.
Not far away, the expression of Miss Zeng, who had just spoken up for Yan Chenzhou, became even more unsightly.
Compared to Li Yuan, she seemed to find this Bai Zhaowei even more annoying.
As for the others around them, they were mostly confused at this moment.
They didn't understand where Li Yuan got the nerve.
That was Bai Zhaowei. How could Li Yuan just go up like that and directly accept the challenge...
Borrowing a sword from a nearby guard, Li Yuan held it and looked at Bai Zhaowei.
The spar was about to begin, and no one bothered to guess the reason for Li Yuan's decision anymore.
In the garden, the clamor gradually died down.
Concentrating his mind, Li Yuan swung the edge of his sword.
This strike was very light and also very ordinary.
It looked like a probe.
The onlookers all shared this view, and so did Bai Zhaowei.
But when the sword in her hand collided with the edge of Li Yuan's sword, she instantly felt something was wrong.
The sword intent on this blade seemed as if it would swallow her whole.
A seemingly ordinary strike felt more like something a God of Swords would unleash.
There was no Ninth-Grade Supreme in Bai Zhaowei's Family.
However, she had received guidance from a Ninth-Grade Supreme before.
This single strike made her dazed for an instant, as if she were once again receiving a move from that Ninth-Grade Supreme.
Of course, that Ninth-Grade Supreme had been guiding her back then.
The pressure-filled sword moves were meant to lead her.
In Bai Zhaowei's view, this move of Li Yuan's must be him going all out.
Thinking of this, Bai Zhaowei also realized she had underestimated her opponent.
It was no wonder Yan Chenyao had lost.
