47: Chapter 47 A Last-Minute Breakthrough as Expected!

Gu Wanquan looked at Su Yi before him; today, Su Yi's attire lacked his usual low-key style.

The white top and black culottes made him look full of youthful energy.

And those peach-blossom eyes rippled like the clear waves of spring water, looking moist as if they were whispering something softly.

If only he could be a bit more obedient, that would be even better!

The two stood there, facing each other in a stalemate, and the noisy spectators in the stands gradually quieted down.

"Are they going to fight or not? If not, I'm going home to sleep!"

"Striking a pose for so long? They're only at the Qi Refinement Stage; aren't they being a bit too pretentious?"

"As long as it looks good, isn't that enough? I think it's pretty exciting!"

"Hmm? Something's wrong with you!"

...

Because of their long standoff, the spectators in the stands began to whisper in dissatisfaction.

Finally, amidst the whispers, Gu Wanquan gently rested his right hand on his sword hilt, opened his eyes, and looked at Su Yi before him, saying with a gentle smile: "Please, Junior Brother Su, you may make the first move!"

Su Yi, as if he had just been woken from a nap, opened his eyes and said calmly to Gu Wanquan: "Please wait a moment, Senior Brother, let me gather some Qi first!"

Su Yi appeared calm on the surface, but inwardly, he was panicking!

Is the medicine really that slow?

Is the game's favorite's poison resistance really that high?

The few people on the stands had already disappeared without a trace a long time ago!

How could Gu Wanquan, who had ingested three times the dosage equivalent to those few people combined, act like nothing had happened?

Just as Su Yi was wondering if it was because the opponent was a White Python Savage Demon and that ordinary Pill Formula had no effect on him.

Gu Wanquan's face, which had been full of smiles, froze for a moment. He then wiped away his smile, looked at Su Yi, and said coldly: "You've gone too far, Junior Brother!"

Heh, the medicine is finally kicking in!

Su Yi was secretly delighted, but feigned ignorance and said: "Huh? What do you mean, Senior Brother?"

Feeling the tumultuous discomfort inside his body, Gu Wanquan knew he had to finish this quickly, or he might really capsize in the gutter!

But Su Yi acted faster than Gu Wanquan. The moment the words fell, Su Yi instantly raised his hand: "Water Wall Technique!"

A four-to-five-meter-high wall of water instantly blocked the space between them.

Su Yi didn't hesitate at all, and his next skill followed immediately: "Water Arrow Technique!"

Countless water arrows suddenly shot out from the water wall that stood between them.

Clusters of water arrow rain shot towards Gu Wanquan!

This move instantly stunned the spectators outside the arena; Su Yi's combination of offense and defense was truly astonishing!

Whether it was the proficiency of his instant-cast Five Elements techniques or the countless water arrows shooting out from the water wall, both were enough to make Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivators feel ashamed!

Activating Five Elements techniques requires hand seals, incantations, tracing arrays in the air, and a series of complex operations.

If a Cultivator at the Qi Refinement Stage can skillfully follow the procedures to execute a technique step-by-step, they are already considered qualified.

For someone like Su Yi to instant-cast skills and even modify techniques to combine offense and defense, in the eyes of others, this could no longer be described as merely terrifying!

Ordinary Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivators can at most instant-cast one or two skills, and that is only the result of years of practice making perfect.

But a Cultivator at the Ninth Layer of Qi Refining could actually change the casting form of a skill while instant-casting it.

Hiss, this kid's talent is terrifyingly high!

Just this one move completely surpasses ordinary Geniuses!

Facing the uproar, Su Yi thought it was nothing more than pressing buttons on a skill bar; what was there to make such a fuss about?

The water arrows shooting out from the water wall were just the result of his max-level water affinity combined with his Grandmaster-level Water Arrow Technique.

Gu Wanquan, surrounded by water arrows, calmly raised his sword hilt, and a Protective Aura instantly enveloped his surroundings.

The water arrows struck the Protective Aura and shattered into splashes of water.

It was like a rainstorm hitting the canopy of an umbrella!

True Qi body protection, the hallmark of the Ninth Layer of Qi Refining!

At the Ninth Layer of Qi Refining, the True Qi in the body is endless; when True Qi is released externally, it automatically forms a Protective Aura that covers the whole body!

With Gu Wanquan's talent, comprehending the Protective Aura at the Eighth Layer of Qi Refining was no harder than drinking water.

Su Yi never expected this move to cause any substantial damage to Gu Wanquan.

Does it need to cause damage?

What is needed is for Gu Wanquan to mobilize the True Qi in his body!

Watching Gu Wanquan's veins bulge on his face as the use of True Qi caused the medicine's effects to be fully triggered.

Su Yi knew it was his turn!

With a wave of his hand, two water whips surged out from the water wall and lashed fiercely at Gu Wanquan.

Gu Wanquan, who had been protected by his Protective Aura, had now retracted it. Forced to draw his long sword, he slashed the incoming water whips into two pieces without using any True Qi.

Not using True Qi?

Then don't blame me!

Instantly, countless water arrows shot towards Gu Wanquan again!

The rain of arrows filled the sky, attacking indiscriminately. After hastily dodging a few times, a disheveled Gu Wanquan was forced to activate his Protective Aura again.

His elegant and gentle handsome face was now beginning to contort.

Strike while the iron is hot!

Again!

Wave after wave of arrow rain shot continuously towards Gu Wanquan, and in an instant, Gu Wanquan was submerged in the rain of water arrows.

Watching this scene, even Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivators couldn't help but feel a lingering fear.

Under such a dense offensive, even they, at the Foundation Establishment Stage, would suffer a great loss if they were not careful!

No wonder this kid is called Brother Shuizi; does he have that much water?

Watching Su Yi, who had fired so many waves of water arrows, still looking as calm as ever, the spectators couldn't help but wonder just how vast Su Yi's True Qi reserves were!

Who understands the value of instant-casting without consumption!

Su Yi, who appeared to have expended a lot of True Qi, had actually, all things considered, only consumed one Water Wall Technique and one Water Whip Technique.

The completely cost-free water arrows were basically free!

Under Su Yi's continuous water arrow attacks, everyone believed that Gu Wanquan was undoubtedly defeated.

But a powerful Protective Aura instantly shattered all the water arrows, and even the water wall between them was shattered.

Gu Wanquan, now soaked to the bone, stood up somewhat disheveled, holding his sword in one hand.

The gentle smile on his face was gone, replaced only by a twisted, insincere smirk, and his wrist flicked slightly.

The powerful Protective Aura instantly transformed into a Sword Qi and flew towards Su Yi.

Su Yi's eyes narrowed, and his entire body instantly transformed into a Water Clone, disappearing from where he stood.

The Sword Qi instantly sliced the Water Clone in two, slamming hard into the railing wall and leaving a deep sword mark.

Protective Aura combined with external True Qi attacks!

Although disheveled, Gu Wanquan had now stepped into a brand-new Realm!

"Ninth Layer of Qi Refining!"

Half-step Foundation Establishment!

Gu Wanquan had a Breakthrough on the spot!

Gu Wanquan looked at Su Yi, who had dodged the Sword Qi, with a fake smile, and said with a smirk: "I originally planned to use this trump card only during the final duel; I didn't expect to have to use it right at the beginning!"

Su Yi scratched his head sheepishly and said: "Then I'm truly sorry, Senior Brother!"

Gu Wanquan, having broken through his Realm and successfully forced the medicinal effects out of his body, shook his head and said: "No need to apologize; I don't object to using any means necessary for victory!"

After speaking, Gu Wanquan changed the subject, instantly disappeared from where he stood, and appeared in front of Su Yi the next moment.

With cold light in his phoenix eyes, Gu Wanquan raised his sword and slashed towards Su Yi's neck, saying in a voice devoid of any emotion: "But in the face of absolute strength, these crooked ways will never make it to the big stage!"
