Chapter 129: Understanding Breeds Confidence
Chapter 129: Understanding Breeds Confidence
Su Chen had just refuted her.
Long Yunyun's words praised Su Chen as insightful and perceptive.
These words of praise were actually given to Su Chen by Upper Proclamation True Person, the Great Elder.
As she kept repeating these words, it seemed like she was slapping the Great Elder in the face.
In the crowd, Jin Yue gently tugged at Su Chen's clothes.
Her face was filled with worry.
"Senior Brother Su, don't go. I asked around, and Long Yunyun already has the strength of a Seventh Stage Embracing Realm Perfection."
"Heavenly Wind Valley specializes in swift techniques, and your deceptive moves might not be effective against her."
"If you lose, it will also reflect poorly on the Great Elder, as people will say he has poor judgment and chose the wrong person."
Jin Yue's words were indeed reasonable.
In this situation, unless Su Chen could win, losing would only make things more awkward for the Tiangang City crowd.
Amidst the crowd, after Long Yunyun's words, the commotion grew louder.
Regarding Long Yunyun's criticism and ridicule, various voices chimed in.
Hearing these words, Jin Yue, standing beside Su Chen, seemed even more worried.
She stared at Su Chen, shaking her head repeatedly.
Standing before them, Long Yunyun's face now carried an additional hint of disdain.
"So many people are insulting me, but why doesn't anyone come forward to spar with me? I, Long Yunyun, grew up in Heavenly Wind Valley, and I was never a part of Tiangang City, nor will I ever be."
"I'm just stating the facts, and I don't understand why you're all so angry."
Amidst everyone's attention, Gu Wei stood up from the crowd.
As she passed by Su Chen, their eyes met for a moment.
In front of outsiders, the disciples of Tiangang City shared a common goal.
They all wanted to suppress Long Yunyun and make her take back her words.
Holding a high-quality long sword, Gu Wei stood opposite Long Yunyun.
Compared to Long Yunyun, Gu Wei was two years older.
Her cultivation was at the Seventh Stage Embracing Realm Perfection.
In terms of talent and strength, although Gu Wei was two years older, her cultivation was the same, putting her at a disadvantage.
But Long Yunyun had previously stated that she would accept challenges from anyone below the Sixth Stage, regardless of age.
"Beyond the Sky, Beyond the Tower, Arrogance Brings Its Own Ruin."
Mu Hall Master glared at Long Yunyun, his tone harsh.
Long Yunyun merely glanced at her grandfather without replying.
In front of the main hall, the two were already on the verge of a fight, ready to strike.
From this day forward, if Heavenly Wind Valley and Tiangang City were to meet again, their competitions would no longer be friendly sparring matches.
Today's words had escalated the situation, and they were even betting on the training qualification in Mountain River Pool.
Gu Wei couldn't afford to relax, and Long Yunyun couldn't afford to lose this sparring match.
In an instant, both of them made their moves.
As Gu Feng's sister, Gu Wei had her own pride.
Swinging her sword, the sword qi formed a rainbow.
The Vital Energy Techniques of the Seventh Stage Embracing Realm were already evident in her skilled execution.
However, the first move alone was enough to reveal Gu Wei's exceptional strength.
Although not as outstanding as Gu Feng, Gu Wei was no pushover.
The surrounding Tiangang City disciples revealed a hint of relief on their faces, and they began to mock and ridicule again.
The Heavenly Wind Valley crowd was also somewhat surprised.
In their eyes, Tiangang City was a backward and remote minor sect.
Perhaps there were one or two disciples with some talent.
They didn't know much about Gu Wei, who had just made her move, but her sharp sword and swift movements caught them off guard.
Long Yunyun held a sword in her hand, her expression slightly serious.
Facing Gu Wei's moves, she seemed unafraid.
Her figure seemed to transform into a Flying Dragon, her sword and body becoming one.
Like a Dragon soaring through the world, she was agile and carried a hint of profound intent.
Both their body techniques were exceptionally impressive.
If one's eyesight was insufficient, it would be challenging to discern their exchange, only seeing Residual Shadows before their eyes.
In the eyes of the strong spectators, the outcome was already apparent.
Gu Wei was clearly unable to keep up with Long Yunyun's Cloudwalking Steps.
Although it was a surprise attack, due to the difference in power, it failed to achieve its intended effect.
Instead, it gave Long Yunyun an easy opportunity.
Within a few moves, Gu Wei had fallen into a desperate situation.
At Seventh Stage Valley Completions, she held back nothing.
Yet, she still found herself in a disadvantageous position.
If she wasn't careful, she might have already lost.
Swinging her sword, several sword energies surged forward.
After forcing Long Yunyun back, Gu Wei finally caught a moment to breathe.
The hand holding the sword seemed to tremble slightly.
In contrast, Long Yunyun on the other side appeared calm and composed.
Her expression was as serene and unperturbed as before.
It was clear which of the two was superior.
In front of the Main Hall, the previous lively conversations and banter had quieted down.
Breathing heavily, Gu Wei looked up at her brother, Gu Yu.
In a moment, Gu Yu threw a long sword.
It was Gu Feng's exquisite long sword, radiating a dazzling green light and sharp edges.
Unexpectedly, Gu Feng had given his long sword to his sister and brother.
Holding this long sword, Gu Wei was now giving it her all, holding nothing back.
Her opponent, Long Yunyun, although also at Seventh Stage Valley Completions, seemed to have seen through Gu Wei's techniques and methods.
Her figure moved swiftly, even more effortlessly than when she first faced Gu Wei.
The power gap between them became even more evident at this moment.
Despite executing a full-power move, Gu Wei seemed to have fallen into a desperate situation.
Long Yunyun's swift movements forced Gu Wei to dodge.
This forced evasion, without escaping the previous predicament, led Gu Wei into another trap.
Although everyone had some estimate beforehand.
But when they saw Long Yunyun's sword blocking Gu Wei, it was still hard to accept.
It felt like a stone blocking their hearts.
Gu Wei's power, while not the strongest in the Seventh Stage Valley Realm, was not far behind.
The surrounding elders and hall masters of Tiangang City frowned unconsciously.
Also at Seventh Stage Valley Completions, they believed it should have been an even match.
Even if Gu Wei lost, it should have been a slightly inferior performance.
However, Gu Wei's defeat revealed a significant gap.
Especially after a while of exchanging moves, Long Yunyun's responses were clearly superior to Gu Wei's.
There were differences even within the Seventh Stage Valley Realm.
The other Heavenly Wind Valley disciples nearby regained their proud expressions.
Long Yunyun turned her head towards Mu Hall Master.
"Not having a thorough understanding of oneself is indeed arrogance.
Having sufficient self-awareness is confidence.
I am not a disciple of Tiangang City, so don't judge me by your standards."
After finishing her words, Long Yunyun finally revealed a smile.
Her gaze then turned towards Su Chen.
"That insightful and perceptive junior brother with a big picture mindset, do you think my words make sense?"
