“A month ago, Wenhao was at the third level of the Astounding Cloud Realm. Now, he should be able to reach the peak of the third level of the Astounding Cloud Realm.” Bai Chen looked at Gu Liyan. “In addition, Wenhao is also the new generation of strategist and talent of the Wen family. The Wen family is also supporting him. I think it would be better for you not to participate in the competition tomorrow, Young Master Gu.”
Gu Liyan stroked his chin and thought for a moment before speaking, "Since I have already accepted the challenge, there is naturally no reason to run away. Besides, I think I should participate."
Bai Chen's pupils contracted, unable to conceal the joy in her eyes. She spoke shyly, "Young Master Gu, why are you so concerned about me? Could it be that you really have feelings for me..."
Gu Liyan was taken aback, and hurriedly waved his hand, "No, no, I'm just curious about the abilities of the world's masters. If possible, I really hope to have a match with them and test my own strength!"
"Hmm? Could it be that you, Young Master Gu, are also a master of cultivation?" Bai Chen asked in confusion, while also sizing up Gu Liyan, but he couldn't detect any spiritual power on him.
Gu Liyan smiled slightly, stretched out his hand, and a wave of cold air swept over, instantly enveloping the room in coldness.
Bai Chen stared at Gu Liyan in astonishment, "You, you're a chess player?!"
Gu Liyan looked at Bai Chen with a puzzled expression. "A chess player? What is a chess player?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Bai Chen hurriedly stood up, ran to the window, and closed the window and door tightly.
"Young Master Bai, what, what's wrong?" Gu Liyan asked in confusion when he saw Bai Chen's nervous expression.
"I really didn't expect that you, Young Master Gu, would actually be a chess master!" Bai Chen looked at Gu Liyan with a delighted expression.
Gu Liyan looked at him blankly, having no idea what the "chess player" he was talking about was.
"I suppose you, Young Master Gu, are unaware of the Chess Master. This Chess Master is a powerful figure feared by both the Celestial and Flying Immortal factions. If you are truly like this, then I can only say that you have a very strong backer!"
Gu Liyan scratched his head. "But I don't know anything about any 'Chess Players' or anything like that. I'm not a member of the 'Chess Players' organization."
Bai Chen smiled slightly, "Whether you know it or not, as long as you demonstrate your abilities and are discovered by the Yi Zhe organization, they will directly regard you as one of their own. Even if you don't want to join, they will still try to recruit you. At that time, you can walk around this continent with impunity."
Mo Chen excitedly exclaimed in the contract space, "Ha, I never expected such an amazing organization to exist! Gu Liyan, what are you thinking about? Tomorrow, just freeze that weak scholar to death! Then join the Chess Masters Organization!"
Gu Liyan frowned and thought carefully: "No, I've just arrived in this world and I don't know any of the rules yet. Today's events are just a warning. I absolutely cannot be too ostentatious."
Gu Liyan spoke directly to Bai Chen, "Young Master Bai, I am a person who loves freedom by nature, so I think it's better not to reveal this ability."
"What? But what about tomorrow's match..." Bai Chen frowned, becoming somewhat anxious. "Why don't you just leave? I can handle him on my own."
Gu Liyan shook his head. "No, I accepted the challenge, I can't leave. Besides, Young Master Bai, you offended Young Master Wen because of me, I absolutely cannot selfishly run away."
"Then what should you do..." Bai Chen's tone softened.
Gu Liyan turned her head and looked at Bai Chen with a serious expression. "Young Master Bai, please teach me how to guide spiritual energy!"
Bai Chen was taken aback. "Ah? But, but I'm only at the first level of the Astounding Cloud Realm."
"You only need to teach me the basics; I can figure out the rest myself. If I can't beat them tomorrow, I'll see how it goes before using the Chess Master's ability," Gu Liyan said.
Bai Chen sighed, "Alright, since that's the case, then I'll teach you how to guide spirits into your body!"
The two sat cross-legged, and Bai Chen spoke with a solemn expression, "Entering the first level of the Soaring Swan Realm opens the path of cultivation. Many people lack talent and may only reach the first level in their entire lives. Reaching the Wind Control Realm is already a sign of exceptional talent. Only a group of old monsters can achieve enlightenment. As for Returning to Origin, they are truly god-level figures. Therefore, Young Master Gu, if you, who possess the Chess Master, can draw spiritual energy into your body, your talent will definitely be the best in the world!"
Gu Liyan smiled slightly, "I don't want to become the best in the world, I just want to do what I want to do."
“Young Master Gu indeed has his own ideas, then I will not interfere further.” Bai Chen said, “Young Master Gu, please get ready. I will condense the spiritual energy around you, and you can try to sense it.”
Gu Liyan nodded, and immediately felt the surrounding aura become pure, as if it were the source of the demons in Thousand Absolute Mountain.
Gu Liyan suddenly opened his eyes, looking around in shock. His Soul-Painting Eyes revealed countless glowing energy bodies condensed from spiritual power, causing him to exclaim in surprise, "This, this aura..."
Noticing Gu Liyan's change, Bai Chen said, "Young Master Gu, please hold your breath and concentrate. I will now teach you a technique for absorbing spiritual energy."
Gu Liyan nodded and sat down again. Bai Chen formed a hand seal and a divine sense entered Gu Liyan's brow. Gu Liyan immediately felt that a new cultivation technique had appeared in his mind.
Subconsciously following the technique in his mind, Gu Liyan immediately felt the surrounding spiritual energy surging into his body.
Bai Chen, sitting beside him, sensed this change and suddenly opened his eyes to look at Gu Liyan, utterly astonished. "This young master Gu is truly gifted! I never expected that my beginner-level cultivation technique would have such an effect on him!"
Gu Liyan absorbed all the spiritual energy around him, feeling as if all the meridians in his body had been cleansed. His strength increased several times over, and even his soul power improved significantly.
