38: Chapter 38 Defeat

The Outer Sect Competition hasn't arrived yet, so losing to Gu Wanquan isn't a big deal.

It's a perfect opportunity to test the gap between myself and Gu Wanquan!

As for the so-called pride of a Prodigy, he, Su Yi, was a fake to begin with.

He didn't have any of that, and he, Su Yi, could afford to lose!

Yin Chaoge and the others, who had been keeping their heads down, instantly looked up, staring in disbelief at Su Yi, who had his back turned to them.

They didn't understand why Su Yi wanted to fight a battle that was impossible to win.

Su Yi's Aptitude of breaking through five levels in one day was indeed astonishing.

However, it was limited to an ordinary 8th Level of Qi Refining, even if his Water Arrow Technique was masterful.

But compared to Gu Wanquan, who could cause phenomena of heaven and earth, Su Yi, who was merely an ordinary 8th Level of Qi Refining, had no qualifications to cross swords with Gu Wanquan at all!

Because they could feel that Gu Wanquan's strength before them 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, Su Yi was completely bringing humiliation upon himself!

"Forget it, Junior Brother Su. I've just had a Breakthrough; surely you wouldn't want to take advantage of me, would you?" Gu Wanquan smiled and offered Su Yi a way out.

Su Yi blinked his peach-blossom eyes and said jokingly, "Of course, otherwise I'll have even less of a chance to win against you in the future, Senior Brother!"

Gu Wanquan looked at Su Yi, who was joking but had a serious look in his eyes, and narrowed his long, narrow phoenix eyes slightly. "Then I'm afraid I'll have to disappoint you, Junior Brother Su. Even now, you still cannot win against me!"

"That's why I want to try!" Su Yi insisted relentlessly.

The atmosphere between the two turned cold.

Shi Buran wanted to speak up and persuade him, but the words stuck in his throat and he couldn't say them.

Facing Gu Wanquan, who was simply invincible, he didn't even have the courage to meet his gaze.

Yet Senior Brother Su had directly spoken up to challenge him.

With such sincere courage, he, in his cowardice, wanted to persuade him to give up.

Shi Buran couldn't open his mouth, and neither could the others.

Yin Chaoge, meanwhile, looked at the figures of Su Yi and Gu Wanquan, biting his lower lip tightly, his brows furrowed.

He was furious, furious at why he had been so timid just now when meeting Gu Wanquan's gaze!

When Yin Chaoge felt humiliated and wanted to challenge Gu Wanquan, Su Yi had beaten him to it!

At this moment, Yin Chaoge's fists inside his sleeves were clenched tightly, his fingernails digging into his flesh without him even realizing it.

Gu Wanquan put away his playful demeanor, looked at Su Yi, tilted his head, and asked, "Are you serious?"

"Of course, I am very serious!"

"When?"

"The sooner the better, right now!"

Gu Wanquan stared at Su Yi for a moment, then smiled freely, nodded, and said to Su Yi, "Alright, I agree!"

The two distanced themselves, while the others retreated to the corner of the wall, watching the two standing in the middle of the courtyard nervously.

They didn't care about the outcome, because the outcome had been clear from the very beginning.

They were just nervous about how Gu Wanquan would defeat Su Yi after his enlightenment.

Ling Yao, who was the shortest, watched the two in the arena with some worry, concerned that Gu Wanquan might not be able to hold back his strength and accidentally kill Su Yi.

After spending these few days together, although Su Yi was quite detestable, he was unexpectedly to her liking.

"Go for it, Su Yi, hold on for a couple more moves!" Ling Yao suddenly shouted.

Xiao Tian, who was beside her, also chimed in, "Don't die, Brother Su!"

Su Yi had black lines all over his head as he turned back to glare at the two brainless Body Cultivators.

The fight hasn't even started yet, can't you wish me well?

Gu Wanquan, with his right hand resting lightly on the hilt of his sword, looked at Ling Yao and Xiao Tian with interest, then turned his head to look at Su Yi and said with a smile, "I didn't expect Junior Brother Su to be so popular?"

Su Yi didn't reply at this moment, but was rapidly simulating all possible scenarios in his mind.

"Take this! Take this! Take this!"

He started directly with the Grandmaster-level Water Arrow Technique, sending several water arrows flying rapidly towards Gu Wanquan as he retreated quickly.

When fighting close-quarters combatants from a distance, the most crucial thing is to keep your distance!

Gu Wanquan, standing in place, didn't even draw his sword. He simply extended his left index finger, and when the water arrows flew before him, he tapped them accurately with his index finger.

With a flick of his index finger, all the water arrows were deflected, scattering in all directions.

"The power is decent, but still too weak!" Gu Wanquan commented leisurely.

Su Yi didn't speak, but snapped his fingers, and the previously deflected water arrows suddenly changed direction, flying towards Gu Wanquan once more.

This time, Gu Wanquan didn't hold back, still using his left index finger to tap the water arrows.

But this time, the water arrows weren't deflected; they were shattered by the touch of his index finger.

"Water Whip Technique!"

A water whip lashed out towards Gu Wanquan, who dodged to the side, while several more water arrows rushed towards him again!

Caught off guard, Gu Wanquan's True Qi instantly surged around his body, directly blocking the few water arrows.

"To think you can achieve instant casting of the Five Elements techniques, Junior Brother Su's Aptitude is truly terrifying!" Gu Wanquan exclaimed in admiration.

"Take this! Take this! Take this!"

"Take this! Take this! Take this!"

Su Yi pointed his sword-fingers frantically towards 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 gripped the hilt of his sword with his right hand, lifted it slightly, and swept it across.

A domineering slash of True Qi directly cleaved through the rain of arrows.

Su Yi panted slightly, looking at Gu Wanquan, who hadn't even drawn his sword, and shook his head with a bitter smile.

He hadn't had time to learn the purple skill "Softness Around the Fingers" yet, and even if he had, Su Yi didn't intend to use it this time.

Aside from the protective "Water Wall Technique" and the life-saving "Water Clone" which he hadn't used, he had exhausted both of his offensive skills, yet he didn't even have the qualifications to force the opponent to draw his sword!

The Child of the Version is truly unreasonable!

There was no point in continuing the fight; his offensive methods had no effect on the opponent at all.

Su Yi raised his hand, shook his head towards Gu Wanquan, and said with a bitter smile, "Senior Brother's cultivation is unfathomable; I have lost!"

Gu Wanquan smiled gently and said, "Junior Brother's final move, that rain of arrows, was also extraordinary!"

It was extraordinary, so extraordinary that it didn't even qualify to force you to draw your sword.

Only then did Su Yi realize that this black sesame dumpling in front of him particularly liked to show off by elevating others!

It made him appear humble, while also making himself look even more awesome!

Damn it, is he even that clever when showing off?

Su Yi thanked Gu Wanquan, not even wanting to wash the bowls anymore, and turned to walk towards his room.

The onlookers thought Su Yi had been hit hard and was in a bad mood.

Su Yi's rain of arrows just now had indeed astonished them. They imagined that if they were to try and block that move of Su Yi's, it would probably be somewhat difficult.

And what made them feel even more desperate was that Gu Wanquan had received that move so nonchalantly.

They were all very clear in their hearts about just how large the gap in strength was.

Just as Su Yi was about to reach the door of his room, a familiar voice came from above:

"You two Junior Brothers are truly impressive!"
