56: Chapter 56 You wouldn't dare, would you?

Gu Wanquan, standing outside the room, was in no rush and stood there quietly.

Gu Wanquan had conducted a profound reflection on his failure in the Outer Sect Competition.

While Su Yi's repeated schemes were certainly a factor, the Dao of the Sword that Su Yi ultimately displayed was clearly superior to his own!

This was one of the reasons why Gu Wanquan was convinced of his defeat.

He did not understand why Su Yi possessed such strong talent in the Dao of the Sword, to the point where he could defeat him relying solely on sword Moves without using any sword techniques.

It was as if he were a swordsman who had practiced for many years!

With such natural talent, why would Su Yi still go and Cultivate the Water Element Evasion Technique?

In the remnant pages of the Dao-Enlightening Sword Immortal, Gu Wanquan had seen the broad road of the Dao of the Sword that soared straight into the clouds, and he believed that only the Dao of the Sword was the sole path to immortality.

Su Yi's behavior of burying his own talent and neglecting the fundamentals to learn the Water Element Evasion Technique left Gu Wanquan completely baffled.

Of course, if Su Yi knew that Gu Wanquan was puzzled as to why he was burying his own talent, he would probably just die laughing.

What the hell kind of talent?

Are you talking about my Born Alluring Talent?

Do you dare to stay alone in a room with me?

I will let you know what true mythical-level talent is!

Gu Wanquan was not worried that Su Yi would refuse to fight; the sense of honor as the winner of the Outer Sect Competition and the Chief Disciple of the Outer Sect would force Su Yi to duel him!

Could there really be anyone in this world who didn't care about their own reputation and face?

There is, brother, there is; your Brother Shuizi truly does not care!

If it weren't for the worry that Gu Wanquan, this child of the version, would hold a grudge against him, Su Yi couldn't be bothered to bicker with Gu Wanquan.

Gu Wanquan gripped the sword hilt hanging at his waist with his right hand; his face was smiling, but his gaze was sharp. Now that he had stepped into the Foundation Establishment Stage, he had gained new insights into the Dao of the Sword.

This time, he would definitely be able to defeat Su Yi!

Just as Gu Wanquan was steeling his resolve, Su Yi pushed open the door with high spirits. His peach-blossom eyes looked at Gu Wanquan, and he said with interest: "It seems Junior Brother will not stop until he achieves his goal today?"

Hearing Su Yi call him Junior Brother, Gu Wanquan frowned slightly, but he still bowed slightly toward Su Yi and said in a deep voice: "Please, Senior Brother, offer your guidance!"

With the golden skill as his backing, Su Yi stood straighter than ever before. He waved his hand, glanced around, and said: "Let's go, let's find a secluded place; this battle only needs the two of us to know about it!"

These words were meant for Gu Wanquan, and also for the various Prodigies peeking from inside the doors.

Gu Wanquan nodded and followed Su Yi out of the small courtyard, one after the other.

After the two left the small courtyard, the several Prodigies who had been peeking from inside almost simultaneously opened their doors.

"Is Brother Su really going to be okay? Why didn't he smash a cup as a signal just now so we could rush out and gang up on Senior Brother Gu?" The straightforward Xiao Tian naturally assumed that it was only right for the powerful Senior Brother Gu to be ganged up on by them.

"Although I do not know what method Senior Brother Su has to overcome Senior Brother Gu, he must surely have a foolproof plan in mind!" Shi Buran said calmly in a low voice.

Seeing the confident Su Yi, Shi Buran naturally chose to believe him; after all, this Senior Brother Su never fought a battle he wasn't prepared for.

Hearing Shi Buran say this, Ling Yao's little face instantly turned pale, and she stammered: "Ah? Did Su Yi poison the food again?"

She simply assumed that the foolproof plan Shi Buran mentioned was to poison the food again.

But that wouldn't work; she had eaten most of today's dinner, and Gu Wanquan hadn't eaten a single bite!

Wen Daoyi quickly spoke up to comfort her: "It won't be that; Senior Brother Gu hasn't been back for a few days, and Senior Brother Su couldn't have anticipated this sudden return."

Hearing Wen Daoyi's words, Ling Yao's complexion gradually improved.

Only Yin Chaoge, dressed in black, looked at the direction where Su Yi and the other had disappeared, full of worries. His fists were clenched tight, but his arrogance was completely gone.

He did not understand; clearly, he had been Cultivating extremely diligently, so why were the two of them leaving him further and further behind!

What exactly did he need to do to catch up to them!

Yin Chaoge bit his lip hard, and sparks of electricity flickered around his body involuntarily.

Protective Aura shielded his body, and lightning-attribute True Qi circulated around him.

At this moment, Yin Chaoge had already stepped into the Realm of the "Ninth Layer of Qi Refining"!

When Su Yi brought Gu Wanquan to a secluded dense forest, the two faced each other. Gu Wanquan rested his right hand on his sword hilt, ready to draw his sword at any moment.

Su Yi, however, waved his hand indifferently and said: "I cannot beat you!"

Hearing this, even Gu Wanquan, who possessed excellent self-restraint, saw his expression turn ugly.

The two of them had already come here; before the match, for Su Yi to say such things, was he pitying him?

"Is Senior Brother perhaps playing with me?" Gu Wanquan stared coldly at Su Yi before him.

Su Yi shook his head and said frankly: "If you continue to bring out that sword-drawing technique from last time or similar Moves, I really cannot beat you!"

"Didn't Senior Brother already block it last time? Now that you have reached the Foundation Establishment Stage, you must have improved even further, right?" Gu Wanquan sneered and retorted.

Su Yi spread his hands and said: "That Move also had some elements of trickery; let me be clear, that Move was prepared for you, solely to win against you!"

"Since Senior Brother wants to win against me so much, what is the harm in winning again?" Gu Wanquan immediately said.

"I can't win; that Move could only deal with you at the Qi Refinement Stage. Now that you have broken through to the Foundation Establishment Stage, that Move is already useless!" Su Yi stated the truth directly, without any concealment.

But Gu Wanquan did not believe him; he did not believe that after Su Yi reached the Foundation Establishment Stage, he hadn't improved the ability of that skill!

"How will we know if we don't try?"

Looking at the stubborn Gu Wanquan before him, he knew the other party would absolutely not be satisfied without having a fight.

Su Yi's expression began to become profound and unfathomable. His peach-blossom eyes stared at Gu Wanquan before him, and he said softly: "Do you know why I am obsessed with defeating you?"

"The winner is king; it is only natural!" Gu Wanquan said dismissively.

"No!" Su Yi's voice rose sharply, and the expression on his face was one of serious concern mixed with worry.

At this moment, the best actor Su Yi was back online!

Su Yi looked at Gu Wanquan earnestly and said: "Me winning against you is simply for your own good!"

Do you believe that?

Regardless of whether you believe it, Gu Wanquan only took it as Su Yi starting to ramble again, and he replied indifferently: "Please, Senior Brother, offer your guidance!"

At this moment, Su Yi did not evade. He took out his long sword from his Storage Pouch and said with a slight sigh: "Since you do not believe me, then I shall win against you one more time. However, I have one request!"

"You are not allowed to use the sword techniques you realized from your enlightenment, and I will only use the Water Clone; we two shall purely compare our understanding of sword Moves!"

As if afraid that Gu Wanquan would object, Su Yi immediately added: "You wouldn't dare, would you?"
