Chapter 997: Chapter 152: Did You… See Clearly? (6K)_4
Chu Ling slowly said: “‘The revelation that I am not the best in the world’ is something bound to happen sooner or later. Actually, the blow you delivered to her now is a good thing for her.”
The more the battle intensified.
Mu Wanqiu became increasingly aware of the gap between her and Gu Shen.
The gap was small, within Deep Sea’s rating system, it was the difference between 99 and 100 points.
But this 1 point… was vast.
Mu Wanqiu was infinitely close to perfect, allowing her to achieve 99 points.
Gu Shen received 100 points because Deep Sea’s evaluation system only awarded a perfect score of 100.
The undefeated genius suddenly suffered a complete defeat.
Such an experience must be exceedingly painful.
Gu Shen gazed at the woman in front of him, unwillingly gripping the blade. For a moment, Mu Wanqiu’s figure slightly overlapped with Senior Sister Lu Nanjin’s image in his mind, but the two were different in essence despite the superficial resemblance.
Senior Sister Lu’s talent was not as strong as Mu Wanqiu’s.
But her determination was far more resolute than Mu Wanqiu’s!
“The path of cultivation is not achieved overnight.”
Gu Shen whispered softly, “The power of the North Continent Transcendents is the strongest I have witnessed… Every single Transcendent here possesses unwavering will and indomitable spirit.” ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ NoveI★Fire.net
Transcendents born in the North Continent joined the legion at a young age, either guarding the fortress or venturing into the [Old World].
Licking the blood from the blade’s edge.
Hovering between life and death.
Transcendents growing up in such an environment naturally are the strongest… Yet Mu Wanqiu was the best-protected “flower” in this brutal battlefield, her [Judge] was too powerful, those around her were too strong, and the “thorns” trapping ordinary Transcendents couldn’t hold her.
Of course, with her S-level talent, she would certainly become Titled in the future.
But to become a true “supreme being,” it’s still not enough.
After brief contemplation, Gu Shen conveyed a mind message to Zero Zero One.
“Honorable Qingzhong Guardian… could I trouble you to reinforce the ‘Ancient Talisman’ around the courtyard?”
Chu Ling chuckled upon hearing this.
She raised her head and gently said, “You are quite fortunate; Fisher is not here today, and there are no powerful beings within a five-mile radius, so… let your [Angel Envoy] take action without worrying about mental leakage.”
He looked toward Mu Wanqiu.
As Chu Ling said, this is the [Angel Envoy] I have highly regarded. If there appeared any errors during the cultivation process, I would certainly intervene to rectify them.
Gu Shen gently spoke, “If you wish to chase after me, then the following move…”
Mu Wanqiu was slightly startled.
Within the courtyard, the previously extinguished whirlwind rose once more —
The dim radiance in her eyes, at this moment ignited by the roaring wind, the fighting spirit coursing through the North Continent bloodlines, surged forth at this moment. Mu Wanqiu shot forth her battle saber, unsheathing it mid-air, as she sped toward Gu Shen like a lightning bolt.
The enormous ghost shadow of the [Judge], raised its great banner against the fierce wind, roaring as it chopped forward.
Deep Sea awarded this North Continent S-level battle performance a score of 100.
All the whirlwind was flattened.
Mu Wanqiu stared dazedly at Gu Shen’s finger resting between her brows.
A towering ancient tree enveloped her.
Countless green shades released a flourishing vitality.
Unbeknownst to her, she had arrived at such an imposing world, seemingly reaching thousands of feet high, its canopy as a sky, its giant trunk as a pillar, while the master of this world — the young man usually exuding an ordinary air — at this moment seemed to become the ruler of the entire world.
As though… becoming a deity!
With a gentle flick, Gu Shen withdrew his finger.
Pure Land, suspended timber, fluttering leaves, vanished entirely.
Mu Wanqiu’s vision blurred, and she returned to the courtyard.
The previous scenes, like illusions, dissipated cleanly, as if never appearing.
Gu Shen smiled asking, “Did you… see clearly?”
