170: Want to compete? Then let's have a head-to-head competition!
The higher the cultivation base, the greater the difficulty in improving.
This is an eternal truth.
Likewise, the weaker the cultivation base, the faster the improvement under equal conditions.
This is also an eternal truth.
Wen Yunyao and Lin Bingqing were both at the Early Golden Core Stage. After Cultivating with Su Yang at the Ascension Platform for just two days, both successfully broke through the Bottleneck and entered the Middle Golden Core Stage.
After the Breakthrough, both were happy to continue Cultivating on the side.
Bai Lingxi had just entered the Void Refining Stage not long ago, so it was clearly impossible for her to have another Breakthrough in a short time. Therefore, she strictly followed the Cultivation rhythm previously planned by Su Yang and got up after Cultivating with Su Yang for one day.
With the support of the abundant Spiritual Qi at the Ascension Platform, plus Su Yang's own super-strong Cultivation speed, one day of Cultivation here was worth a week of Cultivation in the Hehuan Sect.
Even if it was just one day, she was very satisfied.
Both mentally and physically.
"Master, it's my turn again."
Gu Yue swayed her waist as she came to Su Yang's side, about to sit down while holding the Spiritual Root.
Luo Luo came up and said, "Gu Yue, I want to compete with you again! Let's see who can Cultivate for a longer time, and also, let's see who Master gives more essence to!"
Luo Luo was clearly unwilling to accept losing to Gu Yue last time.
She felt that the reason she lost to Gu Yue last time was fundamentally because it was her first time, and it was normal that her endurance wasn't good enough.
But now she had learned from the experience and was confident that she would definitely win this time!
Gu Yue was naturally not afraid of this.
She smiled proudly and seductively, "If you aren't afraid of losing, I'll compete with you! Compete however you want; I'll accompany you to the end!"
If it came to a fight, she was indeed no match for Luo Luo.
But when it came to everything regarding Cultivation with Master, she was confident she wouldn't lose to Luo Luo.
Seeing them about to compete again, Su Yang was helpless but also wanted to teach them a lesson!
Su Yang thought about it and decided not to Cultivate anymore; he got up and carried them over his shoulders, one on the left and one on the right.
He headed straight for the Immortal Cave.
"Since you want to compete, then compete at the same time!"
"Aren't you going to compete to see who can get more essence? The first round of the competition will be both of you going down at the same time to see who wins!"
"After the first round ends, we'll compare who can last longer!"
"Yun Yao, Bing Qing, Ling Xi, An Ran, Cold Moon, you all come in and act as referees. Just stand on the side and inspect the competition situation from 360 degrees. Finally, the five of you will judge the competition results together."
The five women looked at each other and curiously followed Su Yang into the Immortal Cave.
Luo Luo didn't understand what Su Yang meant, but Gu Yue clearly realized what was about to happen and immediately begged for mercy: "Master, Master, I was wrong. I won't compete with her anymore! I don't want to compete with her! Master, please put me down."
Luo Luo was still feeling smug at this moment. Hearing Gu Yue's plea for mercy, she mocked, "Giving up already? I insist on competing with you to see who is better! Hmph!"
"You idiot!"
Gu Yue scolded her indignantly.
Luo Luo immediately retorted, "You're the idiot, an idiot who is less skilled than me!"
Su Yang couldn't be bothered with their arguing!
If they had the energy to argue now, they should argue more!
They entered the Immortal Cave.
The competition officially began!
Now Luo Luo knew how Su Yang wanted them to compete.
Unfortunately, it was too late to beg for mercy and not compete now.
Su Yang's idea was that since they wanted to compete, they shouldn't go one by one. Su Yang made them go down together, competing on the same stage!
Was Su Yang really trying to make the two of them determine who was better?
Of course not!
What he wanted was to let them both experience some things together!
Normally, Gu Yue would definitely win in all aspects in this kind of competition, but Su Yang manipulated the outcome during the first round, deliberately giving Luo Luo more essence, letting her win the first round of the competition.
But by the second round of the competition, the possibility of Luo Luo winning was too low.
Even sitting still and Cultivating, she could only last for three days.
At this time, Su Yang was actively circulating his Qi, five minutes for each, completing the second round in a turn-based format. This was a completely different impact, and Luo Luo voluntarily conceded in less than a quarter of an hour.
Therefore, Gu Yue won the second round.
In the end, the two of them ended in a tie with a result of one to one.
When everyone came out of the Immortal Cave, the expressions of Wen Yunyao and the other five were truly spectacular; none of them could bring themselves to look at each other.
The expressions of Luo Luo and Gu Yue were even more spectacular.
They lowered their heads and followed behind Su Yang like two big and small kittens at a loss.
Su Yang looked back at the two of them and said with a smile, "In the future, if you want to compete, I can cooperate with you, but the way of competing is up to me. I say how to compete, that's how it will be."
Luo Luo immediately shook her head and said, "No more competing, no more! I don't want to compete with her! Anyway, it's a tie this time, I didn't lose to her, so let's just… let's just call it even, okay!"
Gu Yue actually knew that Su Yang had deliberately let Luo Luo win the first round, but she had no unwillingness now; all she had was the desire not to compete on the same stage with Luo Luo again.
Once competing on the same stage, both of their cultivation bases were suppressed by Su Yang, and how they competed was entirely up to his control.
She didn't want Luo Luo to be on top of her again.
Gu Yue also said resolutely, "Master, don't worry, I will never mention competing with her again in the future. Even if she takes the initiative to bring it up, I won't agree."
Luo Luo immediately said, "I will never take the initiative to ask to compete with her again, Master, believe me."
Su Yang shrugged indifferently and said with a smile, "Actually, it doesn't matter to me. If you want to compete, I can really cooperate with you until the two of you decide a winner."
"No more competing, no more!"
Both of them hurriedly shook their heads, each one more firm in their attitude than the other.
Su Yang secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but the expression on his face instead put on a look of great regret: "You're really not going to compete anymore? I quite liked you two competing back and forth."
Gu Yue and Luo Luo's faces flushed red at the same time.
In their hearts, they were both saying the same thing—Master, of course you like it.
Su Yang looked at them and said the opposite of what he meant: "Anyway, I'll repeat what I just said. Whenever you want to compete, you can call me anytime. I am willing to accompany you to determine the winner!"
Both of them shook their heads vigorously.
Neither of them wanted to compete on the same stage with the other again!
Su Yang smiled, "Since you don't want to compete for now, let's continue Cultivating. Gu Yue, you should be fine, right? Then let's follow the previously arranged rhythm: Cultivate for one day, and then let Luo Luo Cultivate for one day."
Gu Yue nodded and took Su Yang's arm, "I have absolutely no problem!"
Luo Luo also went up and took Su Yang's other arm, unwilling to admit defeat, but she dared not argue with Gu Yue anymore, for fear that Su Yang would drag them into the Immortal Cave and make them compete to see whose mouth was more powerful...
