12: Chapter 12: Let me go head-to-head with Gu Wanquan?

"Win the Outer Sect Competition and become an Inner Sect Disciple as the top-ranked student?"

If Su Yi guessed correctly, in the original storyline, the person who should have taken the top spot and become an Inner Sect Disciple as the first-ranked student was that guy...

One layer of heaven a day, Foundation Establishment and entering the Inner Sect in one month!

It must be the White-Clad Sword Immortal, Gu Wanquan, right?

No way. To complete this mission, I have to fight and defeat the protagonist from the first expansion pack of the game?

This System is really overestimating me!

Fighting Gu Wanquan? How the Hell am I supposed to fight him, with my head!?

Su Yi twitched his lips; he couldn't imagine any way he could defeat this undefeated Sword Immortal!

Did he have to sacrifice his good looks and use his Mythical Talent, Born Alluring Talent?

In the official background lore, this White-Clad Sword Immortal was a perfectly righteous and brilliant Sword Cultivator in the first half of the storyline.

He was humble and polite to everyone, with a gentle and respectful personality.

His strength was such that he could one-shot opponents of the same rank and defeat those of higher ranks as easily as drinking water.

His Cultivation speed was also extremely fast; from the moment he started to Cultivate until he wiped out a sect single-handedly, it only took ten years for him to become an 80th-level Great Cultivator at the Undergoing Tribulation Stage!

Immediately afterward, he triggered the Righteous-Demonic War, and under the joint efforts of the two Great Cultivators, Yin Chaoge and Shi Buran, he perished.

Looking at his whole life, that was his only defeat!

And now you're telling me to fight such a person?

Why don't you just ask me to write the King of Hell's name in the Book of Life and Death!

Su Yi felt like he was being played. Although he was often played in the game before, it wasn't like this.

Yes, Su Yi had the experience of his past life and knew a lot about Gu Wanquan, the first BOSS at the beginning of "immortal path".

These were advantages, but in the face of absolute strength, these advantages were completely useless!

Because there was no time!

Right now, he was just a blank-slate low-level character. Su Yi hadn't had time to uncover those game guides from his past life, nor had he searched for those Cultivation Techniques, Secret Manuals, or Heaven And Earth Treasures.

Even if he finished uncovering everything and was armed to the teeth, Su Yi wouldn't dare say he could definitely defeat Gu Wanquan.

Because Children of Destiny didn't play by the rules when they fought!

Breaking through in the middle of a fight, exploding with power, fatal strikes... These unconventional methods were as simple as drinking water for these Children of Destiny!

Even if he was lucky enough to defeat him, who knows if Gu Wanquan would shout something like "I have a reason I cannot lose!" or "Burn, my little Universe!" and then revive at full health to kill him in return.

You say it's only a month; even if Gu Wanquan is a Genius, can he really achieve Immortal Ascension in a month!

The answer is, of course, no, but that is precisely the worst part of the problem!

In the Outer Sect Competition in a month, Gu Wanquan's Cultivation might even be higher than his!

In the storyline, Gu Wanquan achieved Foundation Establishment in one month!

And the Outer Sect Competition was one month later.

Even if there were discrepancies, Gu Wanquan would have reached Foundation Establishment around the time of the Outer Sect Competition!

Meanwhile, Su Yi was limited by his promotion mission; at most, he could reach Qi Refining Level 9, which was only level 9!

To defeat Gu Wanquan, he needed to reach the Foundation Establishment Stage, but to reach the Foundation Establishment Stage, he first had to defeat Gu Wanquan.

It was an impossible dead end!

Su Yi looked at Gu Wanquan, who was being pulled along by the old Sect Master, with a sense of hopelessness.

Gu Wanquan seemed to have a telepathic connection, looking toward Su Yi and then flashing his signature eight-tooth smile.

Smile your ass!

Looking at the gentle-smiling Gu Wanquan, Su Yi felt an inexplicable irritation.

After all, the other person had become a stumbling block on his path of Cultivation; no matter how he looked at Gu Wanquan, he found him displeasing.

Were promotion missions always this hard?

Logically, a level 10 promotion mission shouldn't be anything more than delivering a letter, finding a dog, or at most wiping out a couple of bandits.

How come he got a disastrous start right off the bat?

Could it be that "immortal path" had a Hell mode?

Thinking of this, Su Yi darkened his face and glared fiercely at Gu Wanquan, who was smiling at him.

Gu Wanquan, having been glared at by Su Yi, paused for a moment, and then smiled even more brightly at Su Yi!

The old Sect Master, holding Xiao Tian's hand with one hand and Ling Yao's with the other, was currently giving a passionate speech to the newly entered Disciples, looking refreshed and spirited.

Things like, you are all the future of my Luoxia Immortal Sect!

Things like, this is just the beginning, and you will determine the ending!

Things like, Aptitude is not important, what is important is having a pure heart to seek the Dao!

When saying that, you should at least let go of the hands of Xiao Tian and Ling Yao!

Future, my foot.

Every single person here will be wiped out by that kid in white behind you in ten years!

Thinking of this, Su Yi suddenly thought of a method: should he expose now that Gu Wanquan was a Barbarian Demon White Python?

Then, the old Sect Master in front of him would turn around and kill Gu Wanquan with one slap.

Even if he couldn't kill Gu Wanquan with one slap and let him survive by luck, he would definitely be hunted down by the Luoxia Immortal Sect, so how would he have time to participate in the Outer Sect Competition?

Thinking of this, Su Yi's eyes lit up, and he immediately felt it was feasible!

But upon second thought, he deflated again.

Not to mention that Barbarian Demons didn't have Spiritual Roots and specialized in Demon Cores.

With Gu Wanquan having Awakened a Sword Spirit Root, no one would suspect his Human Race identity.

And in the storyline, it wasn't until Yin Chaoge risked his life that he forced out Gu Wanquan's true form as a White Python, revealing the truth to the world.

Having hidden for so many years without being discovered, Gu Wanquan must have a way to hide that he was a Barbarian Demon!

Now, just relying on his own word to say that Gu Wanquan, who had just tested for a Sword Spirit Root, was a Barbarian Demon, would not only be ineffective, but he would also be labeled as jealous of his fellow Disciple.

And he, knowing this secret, would definitely be targeted by Gu Wanquan.

Who knows when this black-bellied snake would kill him off.

If saying it directly wouldn't work, should he use this secret as leverage to make the other party intentionally lose to him in the Outer Sect Competition?

"You wouldn't want the fact that you are a Barbarian Demon to be known by others, right?"

That didn't seem possible either; he was afraid that as soon as he spoke the threat, the other party would draw his sword and send him to his grave.

Thinking it over, it seemed that no matter what, he couldn't defeat that black-bellied snake!

Su Yi scratched his head, feeling like it was about to explode.

"Are you okay?"

Suddenly, Shi Buran beside Su Yi glanced slightly to the side, looking at the distressed Su Yi and asking softly.

Oh, how rare, the Buddha actually took the initiative to speak!

Su Yi said irritably: "I'm not okay. I realized that I might just be in the Qi Refining stage for the rest of my life!"

Shi Buran was taken aback, not knowing why Su Yi would say such things, assuming that Su Yi was feeling so disappointed because he saw that others in their group were valued by the Sect Master because of their mutated Spiritual Roots.

When he and Su Yi were the only ones in the group with ordinary Spiritual Roots, Shi Buran felt that Su Yi was the only one like him.

He also had an ordinary Metal Spiritual Root, but Shi Buran believed that he wouldn't be worse than those standing next to the Sect Master right now.

Thinking of this, Shi Buran whispered to Su Yi to comfort him: "Human effort can determine the outcome, it is not destined by Heaven!"
