55: Chapter 55 I love being Brother Shui the most

At this moment, it felt as if even the wind had stopped; the small courtyard was completely silent.

Su Yi, possessing the effects of a Mythical talent, could still clearly sense several gazes fixed on the two of them from behind the tightly shut doors of the other rooms.

This group of Prodigies was also secretly watching Gu Wanquan, who had suddenly appeared.

Su Yi looked at Gu Wanquan, who was smiling gently before him, with a pained expression. Even though the other party was smiling, Su Yi felt a chill, as if he were being watched by a venomous snake.

So this guy had been hiding and avoiding everyone because he went off to bitterly cultivate for a Foundation Establishment Breakthrough!

He waited until he achieved a Foundation Establishment Breakthrough before appearing again, wanting to get back at him for the loss!

Who could withstand this? He had barely managed to defeat this "Son of the Version" at the Qi Refinement Stage by exhausting almost all his trump cards. Now that the other party had reached Foundation Establishment, who the hell could beat him!

Although his Copy skill cooldown was over, Su Yi didn't believe in the defense of that Golden Bell Protection at all.

Gu Wanquan, who could crack the Golden Bell back at the Qi Refinement Stage, had now achieved a Foundation Establishment Breakthrough. Facing that defensive skill again, Su Yi felt the other guy could probably crush his skull with an elbow!

Su Yi forced a smile and looked at Gu Wanquan with a worried expression. "Wanquan, you didn't come back; I've been looking for you all these past few days!"

"Please, Senior Brother, offer your guidance!" Gu Wanquan's smile remained unchanged, and he spoke gently.

"Where did you go these past few days? I've almost turned the entire Outer Sect upside down!"

"Please, Senior Brother, offer your guidance!"

"You've also achieved a Foundation Establishment Breakthrough; your talent is truly astonishing. I am truly ashamed of my inferiority!"

"Please, Senior Brother, offer your guidance!"

"Have you eaten yet? Do you want me to make you some noodles?"

"Please, Senior Brother, offer your guidance!"

Are you a freaking broken record? That's the only thing you can say!

Su Yi cursed inwardly. Looking at Gu Wanquan, who remained unmoved and smiling, he didn't know how to deal with the situation for a moment.

"It's cold outside, why don't you come inside to talk?" Su Yi stepped aside and gestured for Gu Wanquan to enter.

Hearing Su Yi's words, Gu Wanquan, who had turned into a broken record, flashed a hint of embarrassment on his face. He shook his head and said, "Senior Brother just needs to come outside and spar with me!"

"What if I refuse?" Su Yi asked curiously.

"Then I will have no choice but to force Senior Brother to make a move!" Gu Wanquan was all smiles, but his tone carried an undeniable air of refusal.

"Then can we just count it as me losing, all right?"

"Holding back might lead to getting injured, or even dying, Senior Brother!" Gu Wanquan continued, smiling.

"Damn it! If an old cat doesn't show its ferocity, do you really take me for a sick cat?"

Su Yi vented his anger once more, then helplessly said, "Why do you insist on fighting? Is it really that important who wins or loses?"

"Important!" Gu Wanquan affirmed without hesitation.

While others might accept failure, for Gu Wanquan, who was arrogant to his core, even a single failure was unacceptable!

With Gu Wanquan completely killing the conversation, Su Yi was out of options. The other party appeared after his Foundation Establishment Breakthrough; if they didn't have a fight today, he feared the other party would truly draw his sword against him.

Rather than being beaten like a dog by the "Son of the Version" in a fair fight, it would be better to calmly find a way out for himself!

To avoid losing too much face, Su Yi coughed, put away his smile, and spoke with feigned seriousness: "Wait for me a moment, I'm going back to my room to prepare!"

After saying this, he closed the door, and Su Yi paced around the room anxiously!

What to do? What to do?

Does he really have to fight Gu Wanquan again?

A "Son of the Version" at full strength in the Foundation Establishment Stage?

How is he supposed to fight that?

If he won, that would be fine. But if he was defeated this easily...

Someone as arrogant as Gu Wanquan, upon realizing he had been defeated by a fake like Su Yi, might fly into a rage and just end him with one sword strike!

But how the hell is he supposed to win!

Racking his brains, Su Yi thought of the Golden Epic skill quality upgrade book he had just obtained!

He really didn't want to be Brother Shuizi, but why did they have to force him?

Su Yi gritted his teeth and chose to use this skill quality upgrade book directly, and the target was his only purple-tier skill, Softness Around the Fingers!

Ding! skill quality upgrade book used successfully!

"Skill: Softness Around the Fingers!"

"Tier: Gold!"

"Effect 1: Can turn into flowing water, ignoring physical and Five Elements Evasion Technique attacks!"

"Effect 2: Incarnate into a water python, double the power of Water Element Evasion Technique, and can entangle in combat as a python!"

"Effect 3: Water Clone, manifest a Water Clone with the same power as the original body."

Looking at the three skill effects glowing with golden light before him, not only had the skill's power increased significantly, but there was even an extra Effect 3.

This Effect 3 looked awesome at first glance; it was different from a Water Clone, as it could manifest a Clone with the same power as the original body!

Su Yi attempted to activate the Clone effect.

A stream of water instantly appeared in the room, taking the form of Su Yi, identical in every way—not only in demeanor and facial features but even the clothes were perfectly replicated.

It was completely incomparable to the humanoid stream of water that was a standard Water Clone!

Su Yi curiously examined the Clone before him.

Suddenly, the Clone spoke:

"What the hell are you looking at? Are you sick or something? Staring at yourself for so long?"

Su Yi was stunned, standing there in shock. He stammered as he looked at the Clone: "Wait, buddy, you can talk on your own?"

Holy crap! This Clone is that awesome?!

The Clone replied with a look of disdain: "If I couldn't talk, how would I be exactly like you?"

Unexpectedly, this skill not only manifested a Clone with the same power as himself, but it could even speak!

Compared to Su Yi, this Clone was clearly more arrogant and conceited in its behavior!

It was like a completely different person from his own gentle and refined self!

"Seriously, buddy, don't you know what kind of person you are? Is this how you praise yourself?" The Clone curled its lip and said.

"Damn, you can even perceive my inner thoughts? Why can't I perceive what you're thinking?" Su Yi looked at the Clone warily.

This Clone was just too realistic, wasn't it?

The Clone looked at Su Yi speechlessly and said: "I am you, of course I can hear your thoughts. I just say whatever comes to mind, so of course you can't hear me!"

"Does that mean...?" Su Yi's eyes lit up.

"Yes, we can communicate directly through our minds!" The Clone immediately replied.

"Does that mean I'm schizophrenic?" Su Yi instantly thought of a terrifying fact and asked nervously.

The Clone shook its head and said: "I am just a pure version of you that doesn't hide your true thoughts!"

"That's good, that's good. It wouldn't be great to learn a skill and end up schizophrenic!" Su Yi said, patting his chest.

The Clone looked at Su Yi, who was still fearful, and said with some disdain: "Don't let your guard down yet. I can only appear for five minutes. Hurry up and dispel me; we still have to deal with that black-bellied snake in a bit!"

Upon hearing this, Su Yi immediately dispelled the Clone. Suddenly, a bold idea for showing off formed in his mind, and the corners of his mouth curled up involuntarily.

What the hell kind of Sword Cultivator, what the hell kind of Sword Dao.

I am the freaking Brother Shuizi!

I love being Brother Shuizi the most!
