Since it was not their turn yet, Gu Qingze and Chu Lingxiao were quietly observing the competition and fights between the disciples in the stands.
"Qingze?"
Chu Lingxiao patted his shoulder and said softly.
"What's wrong?"
Gu Qingze shifted his gaze away from the fighting disciples and tilted his head to look at Chu Lingxiao.
"Your opponent is Lin Yu, aren't you nervous?"
"What are you nervous about?"
Gu Qingze asked doubtfully.
"Didn't you say that Lin Yu is the favorite to win the championship? And when I got close to him just now, I could feel the pressure from his strength. If my feeling is correct, he should be in the Void Refinement Stage or even above."
Chu Lingxiao said unhappily. He felt that he had worried for nothing. There was a saying that went, "The emperor is not anxious, but the eunuch is." Although he was not a eunuch and Gu Qingze was not the emperor, it was obviously Gu Qingze's own business. It was not him who wanted to be an opponent of Lin Yu. Gu Qingze himself was not anxious, but he just wanted to comfort him and tell him not to be afraid...
"I know. It was mentioned in the Qingyun Review a year ago that Senior Brother Lin Yu's cultivation was at the early stage of Refining Void."
"He knows this, yet he acts so calm and composed. Does Qingze have some secret weapon?"
Chu Lingxiao asked curiously, "How could a Jindan-stage cultivator deal with a Lianxu-stage cultivator? If that secret weapon really existed, even if it wasn't Divine-grade, it would have to be upper-grade Heaven-grade, or even Half-Step Divine-grade, right?"
"Secret weapon? No, there isn't one. Although the Gu family isn't short of money and spiritual weapons, they require sufficient cultivation to use and control. Even if I use the best spiritual weapon at this level of cultivation, I might not be able to connect with a single move from Senior Brother Lin Yu."
"and you……"
"People only have one life to live, so we have to keep a good attitude. If things really don't work out, I'll just give up."
Gu Qingze pretended to be open-minded and tried to comfort Ling Xiao who was worried about him. However, his heart was actually broken into pieces after knowing the result.
"Qingze, am I ignorant? What did you mean by 'tanking'?"
Chu Lingxiao's attention was magically attracted to other things.
"Well, 'tanking' means knowing that the current situation cannot be resolved in a short period of time, so the only choice is to maintain the status quo or give up fighting."
Gu Qingze thought for a moment and said uncertainly that it had been six years since he traveled through time, and he was still a little confused about the meaning of this modern word.
"So, Qingze means that you should give up the duel with that Senior Brother Lin Yu."
Chu Lingxiao concluded based on his words.
"...You can't say that. When the duel comes, we should go up first. We definitely can't just give up. We can act according to circumstances when the time comes."
Although Ling Xiao's summary was pretty much the same, he should at least save some face for himself, okay...
Moreover, I had to give up this duel because of the difference in strength. Why did I feel so useless and worthless after hearing Ling Xiao's words?
So, Gu Qingze found a way to make amends for himself.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, Chu Lingxiao suddenly clenched his hand and said with a serious look.
"Qingze, if possible, I hope you will just give up this duel."
"Why?"
Gu Qingze said in surprise. He thought Ling Xiao would look down on him because of this action.
"Because I don't want to put you in a dangerous situation."
