Chapter 87 Invitation to Battle
Gu Zhuo shook his head slightly and said, "It's still the same two words."
Yu Sheng understood that this sentence meant rejection. He was quiet for a while and said softly: "There are many people outside who are curious about you. What are you going to do then? Or are you sorry for these two words?"
Gu Zhuo said: "You said something not long ago that everyone has their own secret."
"Yes."
Yu Sheng responded calmly: "But whether you can keep your secret is another matter."
This sentence sounded very much like a threat.
However, Gu Zhuo felt that the girl in the green skirt did not mean this. She was simply stating a fact that was bound to come, nothing more.
"What are you going to do next?" he asked suddenly.
Yu Sheng is a very sincere person in this regard.
"If you do something like this again, I will stop you."
"For justice?"
Gu Zhuo's tone was very calm, with no emotion audible, and it seemed like he was asking casually.
Yu Sheng looked at him, suddenly smiled and said, "Sorry."
This of course means refusing to answer.
Gu Zhuo was slightly startled when he heard this, thinking to himself, is this just treating the other person in his own way?
Thinking like this, he smiled and accepted the other party's rejection. After all, he had been rejecting the other party from the very beginning of their meeting. How could there be any reason to be angry at this time?
"It seems that we will be walking together forever."
"If you don't like me standing next to you, I can go a little further away so that you can't see me."
"How can you be so gentle?"
"Get used to it."
Yu Sheng responded with a smile.
Gu Zhuo glanced at her, feeling rare emotion, and muttered two sentences silently in his heart.
Such a gentle person.
What a domineering punch.
……
……
Before Yu Sheng actually appeared, Gu Zhuo had never regarded anyone in this summer festival as an opponent.
This has nothing to do with pride and everything to do with reality.
Chu Jun, the goddess of Jingtian, has long understood the truth, and is no different from him in terms of realm. More importantly, her fighting spirit is far beyond that of her peers. She is an extremely difficult opponent and is indeed difficult to deal with.
But her biggest problem is that a certain young monk has great resentment towards her.
Therefore, the two will definitely have a battle in the summer festival, and the victory or defeat will probably be on June 4th.
No matter who wins or loses, they are no longer a threat to Gu Zhuo.
As for Bai Langxing, he was the defeated general.
Even if the third prince uses the Frost Tribulation of All Things again, he will still be sure of victory and there is no need to worry.
Unfortunately, what Pei Jinge said to him that day was true.
In this summer festival, where there was no one who could compete with him, it turned out that there really was a person of his own generation who was as good as him.
Somewhat ridiculous.
Somewhat absurd.
This is something Gu Zhuo has never seriously imagined, because he has absolute confidence in himself.
With this in mind, he looked at Yu Sheng, who was walking side by side, and said seriously: "You are very strong."
Yu Sheng hummed and accepted this sentence, because it was the truth.
Then she seemed to feel that this was inappropriate and said sincerely: "You are also very strong. I never thought that any of my peers could be as strong as me."
Gu Zhuo remained silent.
Yu Sheng asked: "Did I say something wrong?"
Gu Zhuo shook his head, looked at her and said, "I'm just a little surprised that you have the same idea as me."
Yu Sheng frowned slightly, thought for a while, and said: "It feels like the conversation between you and me was meant to flatter each other, so I'm not very embarrassed. Can you understand what I mean?"
Gu Zhuo was stunned and said with a smile: "Actually, I'm a little embarrassed too."
For some reason, both of them felt that the other person was telling the truth at this moment, and they were both really embarrassed.
……
……
After walking through the ice and snow under the night sky and crossing the abyss-like cracks, Gu Zhuo and Yu Sheng passed the third level without any accidents.
Except for those candidates who had basically lost hope of passing the test, their rankings naturally fell to the bottom.
In fact, not long after the two passed the third level, the night and wind and snow directly swallowed up the candidates who were still in the second level, allowing these candidates to return to the divine capital physically and mentally, no longer having to suffer from the cold and suffering.
Just like what many people expected beforehand.
After passing the three levels, with most of the candidates eliminated, the invisible barrier has disappeared, and the geniuses at the top of the Tianxian Division's list can truly get together.
So the stage of the summer festival that attracted the most attention from the public began.
——Battle between candidates.
People in Shendu clearly saw that the candidates who passed the third level gathered in three different areas. The difference in the number of people was very small, about a hundred or so.
The rules of the battle are still simple - arena competition.
Whoever can occupy one arena and defeat three people in a row, or if no one dares to challenge for half an hour, will be considered successful.
However, the problem is that there is only... one arena in each of the three different areas.
When a strong person like Shen Jingtiannu occupies the ring, most candidates will subconsciously choose to avoid his edge, so that the Taoist genius can sit quietly on the ring for half an hour, and finally bid farewell.
This approach is reasonable, after all, few people can fight with her, but it also brings a trouble.
——Time continues to pass.
Every candidate knows that there must be a time limit for this level. Otherwise, as long as everyone reaches a tacit agreement and does not take action, they can pass the level by taking turns sitting on it for half an hour. That would be too ridiculous.
However, no one is sure that Her Royal Highness the Princess has limited this level to end within a few hours. What if the unbeatable geniuses in front of them take up all the time, and the remaining time is not enough for the other candidates to decide the winner?
This is what really forces candidates to feel anxious.
……
……
The Cangshan Mountain shrouded in night has never been silent.
The light from the bonfire illuminated a side of the wind and snow, reflecting the nervous faces of the boys and girls.
Lin Wanyi endured the cold in silence, thinking about the next countermeasures.
As one of the candidates who spent the least time in the third level, the preferential treatment she received in the arena competition was an opportunity to fail the challenge, and she did not have to worry about being eliminated directly.
However, logically speaking, with her already very close to Dong Zhen's strength and the chance of failure this time, she doesn't need to worry too much about this arena match.
The problem is that unfortunately there are three Dongma in the area where she is.
Lin Wanyi thought to herself that she was somewhat unlucky.
Now that Li Ruoyun was eliminated by Gu Zhuo, there are only five Dongzhen left in Xia Jiming, and three of them are with her, namely Shen Jing Tian Nu, Bai Lang Xing, and the southern genius who sits at the bottom of the list.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
Ever since the hot pot meal by the White Horse Lake, she had developed some friendship with the Goddess Jingtian, and they interacted with each other on a daily basis, so she knew very well that she was no match.
As for Bailangxing.
His Highness the Third Prince is now very low-key and no longer shows any signs of arrogance and pride, but this does not affect his strength.
Even though the Frost Tribulation of All Things he practiced was banned by the head of the Sky Patrol Department himself before the start of the Summer Festival and could no longer be used, he was still a cave genius who fought in the wilderness.
Lin Wanyi didn't think he could defeat him.
As for the last Dongzhen, he was born in the Xie family of Yinping, and his name was Daofei.
Compared with the other two, Xie Daofei is indeed inferior, but he is still a real person.
It would be difficult to cross the border and defeat this proud man of heaven...
How can you be sure that you can keep going?
Until reaching the top of Cangshan Mountain?
Lin Wanyi looked into the depths of the night, at the stone flat that was protected from the wind and snow, and glanced at Bailangxing, who was sitting on it waiting for the challenger.
Then she withdrew her gaze, found the goddess Jingtian who was concentrating with her eyes closed, and said something seriously.
"I want to try to break through the realm. Please help me protect the law. I owe you a favor."
Goddess Jingtian opened her eyes and said without hesitation: "Okay."
……
……
Another arena.
Monk Wu Gu's luck has always been very good. There is no Dongzhen in the area where he is, and naturally there will be no challengers.
He looked at the group of candidates below boredly and sighed deeply, wondering why he was so unlucky?
When participating in the Summer Festival this time, he never thought about competing for the top spot. His only thought was to beat Li Ruoyun, and then see if he could beat Chu Jun.
As a result, one of the two was directly eliminated by Gu Zhuo, and the other did not meet at all.
Isn't this a bad luck?
The more the little monk thought about it, the more disappointed he became.
Just when he thought he was going to sit there for half an hour, someone suddenly entered the ring.
That person is a candidate who has a second chance to challenge.
I saw him looking at Monk Wugou sincerely, and said seriously: "The elders in my family often told me that although Monk Wugong is young and not tall, he can already be described as superb in the realm of Buddhism. This opportunity It’s rare, so I want to try to challenge you, please give me some advice.”
He asked himself that these words were blameless and extremely complimentary.
For some reason, Monk Wugou remained expressionless.
The man was a little surprised, thinking that he was being direct and not complimenting?
The little monk looked at him and felt very angry, thinking that if you want to hit him, just hit him.
Why do I have to mention my height before I hit you?
Looking for a fight, right?
……
……
The last arena scene is the simplest.
When Gu Zhuo returned from the night, the candidates, after being slightly stunned, cleared a path to the arena as quickly as possible.
On the ring, the two candidates who were competing were slightly distracted because of this, and the winner was directly determined.
The loser is naturally unwilling to accept it, but the rule is that he must leave the ring no matter what.
What really surprised everyone in the arena and the people of Shendu was...the candidate who defeated his opponent actually left the ring after a moment of hesitation, not daring to stay.
As a result, the arena was empty.
Only wind and snow.
The candidates were all looking at Gu Zhuo.
The meaning is very clear.
--please.
——Please go first.
At this moment, Gu Zhuo turned his head and looked at Yu Sheng.
He asked: "Want to have a fight here?"
……
……
Gu Zhuo and Yu Sheng both passed the third level at the last moment.
To put it simply, they don't get a second chance.
If anyone loses here, they will be eliminated on the spot and their trip to this summer festival will be ended.
In other words.
This is an invitation to a fight to the death.
Sorry, I broke my promise yesterday because what I wrote in the early hours of the morning was really not human-like and there was no way I could send it out. After tinkering and revising it today, it finally looks good. Anyway, I’m still very sorry.
