The duel continued fiercely, and in less than a moment, it was Gu Qingze's turn to play.
Just when he was about to follow the agreement and ask the Sixth Elder for permission to give up the duel as soon as he got on stage.
Lin Yu, who was standing opposite him, suddenly spoke.
"Didn't Junior Brother Gu also say before the duel that he was looking forward to it? Why do you want to give up now?"
Can't you hear the polite words?
Just like "see you some other day", it's just a courtesy...why did he take it seriously?
Wait a minute, I haven't even opened my mouth yet, how did Lin Yu know that I wanted to give up this duel? Could it be that he has the ability to read minds?
The more Gu Qingze thought about it, the more he felt it was possible. After all, everyone in this world could cultivate immortality. But why hadn't he seen it in the Sutra Library...
So, Gu Qingze stopped his wild thoughts and asked with a smile.
"Why do you think I have such thoughts, Brother Lin Yu?"
"Because Junior Brother Gu, you have no fighting spirit at all. A sword cultivator wants to go all out in a duel. Even if it's just a perfunctory fight, there will be at least some fighting spirit. But the moment you step on the stage, I can sense everything."
After hearing Lin Yu's explanation, Gu Qingze nodded, agreeing with his statement.
After all, fighting spirit, like sword spirit, is a very mysterious thing. It may be that your realm is not deep enough, so it is normal that you cannot understand it.
"Why did Junior Brother Gu give up this duel that you and I were both looking forward to?"
Lin Yu raised his question again.
Only you have one-sided expectations, okay...
And I don't know why you're expecting it. Clearly, there's a huge difference in our cultivation levels. He doesn't even need to use any fancy sword moves; a simple swing could kill him... There's absolutely no need to expect anything...
Could it be that Lin Yu likes the pleasure of completely defeating others?
Gu Qingze nodded in agreement. He liked it too. Before he transmigrated into the book, he liked to bully weak players when playing games... But now, he was the weak player!
Forget it, I'd better tell Lin Yu the truth and then give up the duel.
If I were at another peak, I might worry about being ridiculed for this action, but I'm at Hidden Sword Peak. Senior Brother Helan isn't in Qingyun Sect right now, and even if he was, he wouldn't care about this matter. Senior Brother Lu is a very good person and won't say anything. As for Ling Xiao... if I listen to him and give up this duel... maybe he'll even give me a reward tonight...
So, Gu Qingze pretended to be helpless and said.
"Brother Lin, there's a huge gap between our strength. Although I'm looking forward to fighting a strong opponent, especially one as strong as you, I'm still lacking the strength."
Lin Yu didn't know whether he understood what he said or not, so he nodded and said.
"So that's the reason. It's all my fault for not thinking it through properly, and letting Junior Brother Gu down. How about this? I'll also suppress my cultivation to the early stage of the Golden Core, and we'll just compete in swordsmanship. What do you think? After all, this is a sword competition, so of course we're going to use swordsmanship. If everyone uses cultivation to suppress the opponent, then the sword competition will be meaningless."
An unexpected situation occurred...
Gu Qingze didn't know what to do for a moment. Neither he nor Ling Xiao had expected that someone could be so naive.
What should I do now? Should I agree or not?
