Goodness, he didn't even participate in a single competition, yet he won all the way to the finals.
Did Gu Xiaochui save the world in his past life?
Zhu Haohao took several deep breaths to barely suppress the feelings of envy, jealousy, and hatred in his heart.
He and Gu Xiaochui were about the same age and had similar cultivation levels.
However, he had just finished a competition not long ago and hadn't fully recovered yet.
But Gu Xiaochui is now at the peak of his career.
Therefore, his chances of winning this match are very slim.
Just as Zhu Haohao was feeling worried and concerned, Gu Xiaochui across from him suddenly looked at him and said, "You seem pretty tired, so why don't you..."
Upon hearing this, Zhu Haohao's eyes lit up immediately.
Could it be that Gu Xiaochui also felt it was unfair to let him participate in the competition in this condition, so he wanted to wait until he recovered before officially starting?
Thinking of this, Zhu Haohao felt a warmth in his heart.
After all, they had some past relationship, so it seemed Gu Xiaochui was too embarrassed to take advantage of him.
Zhu Haohao was about to nod in agreement with Gu Xiaochui's suggestion when he heard the other party continue, "How about we finish this quickly? You can go back and rest afterward?"
Zhu Haohao: "..."
Why is it different from what he expected?
Seeing that Gu Xiaochui had already started to draw his weapon and was preparing to fight him, Zhu Haohao quickly raised his hand and said, "Fellow Daoist Gu, wait a moment!"
Gu Xiaochui paused for a moment, then met his gaze, puzzled.
"What's wrong?"
"I expended a lot of energy in the last match, and I haven't recovered my strength yet," Zhu Haohao tried to evoke his empathy.
However, Gu Xiaochui simply blinked and asked a question in return.
"so what?"
Zhu Haohao twitched his lips, somewhat speechless.
Was Gu Xiaochui genuinely misunderstanding him, or was she pretending to be stupid?
Zhu Haohao let out a breath and went straight to the point: "So, if we just start the competition like this, wouldn't it be a bit...?"
Before he could finish speaking, Gu Xiaochui suddenly interrupted him.
"That's why I said we should hurry up and have the competition, so you can get some rest afterward."
As he spoke, he clicked his tongue in admiration, "Tsk, look at me, how considerate I am of you."
Zhu Haohao: "..."
Thinking of him?
Hehe...
Gu Xiaochui took out a high-level spirit sword, eager to try it out.
Zhu Haohao looked at the sword in his hand and recognized it as the one he had given to Rong Zi back in the Monster Forest.
He gave away two at the time.
Now, one of these two swords is in Yun Jing's hand, and the other is in Gu Xiaochui's hand.
Zhu Haohao glanced at Rong Zi, who was yawning in the spectator area, and lowered his eyes somewhat forlornly.
Gu Xiaochui brandished his sword, striking a pose, and said, "Draw your sword."
Zhu Haohao didn't move.
He thought for a moment and suggested to Gu Xiaochui, "Look, we're both weapon cultivators, and fighting each other isn't very interesting. How about we compete in something else? For example, we can forge a sword in public and see whose sword is of a higher grade?"
Zhu Haohao didn't want to compete with Gu Xiaochui in terms of strength.
Given his current condition, he's highly likely to lose in a physical confrontation.
Rongling Sect has already won so many matches, while Shuiyuan Sect has yet to produce a champion in individual battles.
He was the only one who made it to the finals.
He didn't want to lose.
The gap between him and Rong Zi was already so large; he didn't want to be unable to even beat her apprentice...
He doesn't have much of a chance in a fight, but he's confident he can beat Gu Xiaochui in a weapon-forging contest.
After all, he possesses a mutated spatial spiritual root, giving him absolute talent in weapon crafting.
And there's one more thing.
The preparation time required for refining weapons is very long. During this period, he can take the opportunity to slowly recover the energy he lost in the previous competition.
Gu Xiaochui refused without even thinking when she heard Zhu Haohao's words.
"That won't work."
Zhu Haohao asked, puzzled, "Why not?"
Gu Xiaochui frowned and said, "Forging swords consumes a lot of materials, doesn't it?"
Zhu Haohao: "..."
That stingy tone... that's definitely Rongling Sect's style.
Zhu Haohao raised his hand to his forehead, "How about this, I'll provide all the materials needed for forging the sword."
Upon hearing this, Gu Xiaochui immediately put away his sword and began to eagerly search for the forging furnace.
"Then what are we waiting for? Let's put it out!"
Zhu Haohao: "..."
...
After everything was ready, Zhu Haohao pointed to the two sets of sword-making materials in front of him.
"These are two identical sword-forging materials. Next, we need to use these materials to forge a sword within one hour. After the forging is successful, the two swords will clash. Whichever sword breaks or is damaged will be considered the loser."
After all, he was the beloved junior brother of the Shuiyuan Sect, and every material he brought out was extremely valuable.
Gu Xiaochui looked at the materials and raised his hand, saying, "Um, there's something I'd like to ask."
Zhu Haohao: "What is it?"
"If I win, can I take all the swords with me?" Gu Xiaochui asked earnestly.
Influenced by Rong Zi's subtle influence, Gu Xiaochui has perfectly inherited her fine virtue of plundering every feather that passes by.
Zhu Haohao's lips twitched slightly, and he nodded.
"Can."
"Alright then." Gu Xiaochui smiled and took all the materials. "Let's begin."
