Chapter 132: Leaving Her Alone in Her Frustration
Chapter 132: Leaving Her Alone in Her Frustration
As Su Chen spoke with Long Yunyun, he addressed her as Senior Sister Long each time.
His tone was polite, but the words he spoke were enough to make Long Yunyun feel uncomfortable.
Su Chen's demeanor remained calm and unhurried.
It gave the impression that he was in a very relaxed state when dealing with Long Yunyun.
The disciples from Tiangang City who had come to the Main Hall to observe the competition felt relieved.
The refreshing sensation seemed to sweep away their fatigue.
In Tiangang City, Su Chen was now famous, and many knew of his significant contributions on the frontline.
However, there were still many disciples in Tiangang City who were responsible for the rear logistics.
Regarding Su Chen, they had only heard rumors and knew a little about him.
It was fair to say they didn't dislike him, but they also didn't admire or fully acknowledge him.
After all, Su Chen was still an outsider who had been driven away from the Yunyang Sect and joined Tiangang City.
With this reputation preceding him, some disciples had reservations, and even discriminated against him.
But today, Su Chen's performance earned the recognition of all the Tiangang City disciples present.
If it weren't for Su Chen's intervention, everyone would have had to endure the frustration together.
Even the sect elders and hall masters had to endure the discomfort.
After this incident, most people would likely address him as Senior Brother Su sincerely.
Among the crowd, Jin Yue's eyes seemed to glow as she looked at Su Chen.
Su Chen's performance today was dazzling, and she seemed more excited than anyone else.
Ran Ting, standing by her side, gently pinched her to bring her back to her senses.
In front of the Main Hall, Long Yunyun was just as Su Chen had described—she was unwilling to accept defeat.
She still wanted to compete with Su Chen.
But as Su Chen had pointed out, she had already lost both opportunities to train in the Mountain River Pool.
If she wanted to compete now, what would they compete for? She had been so arrogant and proud before.
The competition must have a clear winner and loser, and the training qualification was at stake.
Su Chen had every right to make such a demand.
Long Yunyun's face was filled with anger, but the more she displayed her emotions, the more delighted the Tiangang City disciples felt.
"I still have a qualification to train in the Sand Dune Sanctuary. Let's have another competition.
If I, Long Yunyun, lose, then this qualification will be yours!"
Upon hearing this, Su Chen shook his head.
"Senior Sister Long had clearly stated that if I lose, I will give up one qualification slot.
But if you lose, you will have to give up two.
If you don't have enough stakes, then let's end it here today.
Tiangang City and Tianfeng Valley have always been brother sects.
Opening up our training grounds to each other is a sign of mutual trust.
If this causes resentment between the two sects, it would be a grave mistake for us, the younger generation."
Without sufficient resources to offer, Su Chen refused to compete further.
He left her alone in her frustration.
Upon hearing Su Chen's words, Upper Proclamation True Person immediately spoke up.
The elder and the youth had not rehearsed or discussed this beforehand, yet they seemed to be in perfect harmony.
Long Yunyun was still furious and wanted to ask her junior brothers and sisters for a qualification.
Then, she would challenge Su Chen again.
But when her junior brothers and sisters saw her gaze, they quickly avoided her, not wanting to engage with her.
She had already lost to Su Chen once, and her junior brothers and sisters were no longer as trusting as they were initially.
After the Upper Proclamation Elder's polite words, the atmosphere between the two sects began to ease.
The Tianfeng Valley disciples, who had previously been full of pride, now seemed more amiable.
It seemed that only Long Yunyun had suffered a blow in this incident.
In the subsequent proceedings, there were no more complications.
In the past, there would always be a mention of the training qualification issue.
But this time, no one brought it up.
Ding Jiujiang's gaze occasionally fell on Su Chen, as if pondering something.
The defeat in this competition made him view Tiangang City with a bit more respect.
Even if a major sect's paper strength is slightly lacking, it still has some foundation.
Speaking of which, the only one who feels truly uncomfortable is Long Yunyun.
She lost the training qualification in Mountain River Pool, and she lost face in front of everyone.
The qualification she had previously won was for the benefit of other members of Heavenly Wind Valley.
Now that she thinks about it, it doesn't seem worth it.
The training in Mountain River Pool is scheduled to begin tomorrow at late afternoon, leaving only one night for rest.
During this waiting period, Long Yunyun stays cooped up in her room.
As soon as she steps out, the disciples of Tiangang City will look at her.
And in their eyes, there will be a hint of disdain.
Feeling stifled and uncomfortable, what can she do now?
Lying on the bed, Long Yunyun's mind keeps replaying Su Chen's counter moves.
Even now, as she recalls, she still doesn't understand why she lost.
Clearly, she had seen through his moves, and it was all so obvious.
Long Yunyun's reactions also validate the Universal Technique taught by Autumn Frost, which is not easy to comprehend.
Deceptive Move Transformation sounds simple in theory.
But in practice, it's not something one can easily master.
Even after losing to Su Chen, Long Yunyun still can't see through his moves.
During their confrontation, she felt she had a chance to win.
But thinking back on the challenges and troubles, it seems something was off.
These past few days, while hosting the guests from Heavenly Wind Valley, the elders finally had some free time last night after everything was settled.
Today, they gathered to discuss the current situation.
Su Chen's victory over Long Yunyun yesterday brought a sense of relief to the elders.
After Gu Wei's loss to Long Yunyun, the elders didn't have a suitable candidate in mind.
Among those of similar age, the disciples below the Sixth Stage were at most on par with Gu Wei in strength.
Even if they were stronger, it wouldn't be by much.
However, they never expected Su Chen to be able to surpass Long Yunyun.
“You all witnessed yesterday's competition, so share your thoughts.”
The Upper Proclamation True Person smiled as he spoke, recalling Su Chen's performance, which seemed to put him in a good mood.
The Fourth Elder beside him also smiled.
“My opinion is rather straightforward. We in Tiangang City have found a gem.
Su Chen is not only skilled in tracking demons but also underestimated in his personal cultivation strength.”
As he finished, the Third Elder on his side nodded.
He agreed with the Fourth Elder's words.
“Regarding this child, we misjudged him from the start.
From character to ability, and now to his talent and potential, we elders may have been blinded by our age.
Thinking about it now, perhaps during the yearly test, even if Gu Wei displayed Seventh Stage Perfect Realm strength, Su Chen could still handle it.”
This recent competition has once again changed the elders' perception of Su Chen.
Heavenly Wind Valley's sect strength is inherently stronger than Tiangang City's.
Long Yunyun is indeed a talented disciple in Heavenly Wind Valley.
Her loss to Su Chen is sufficient proof of his abilities and potential.
“What did you observe from Su Chen's techniques and cultivation methods yesterday?”
The Upper Proclamation True Person asked again from his high position.
“Aside from Cloudwalking Steps, this child's cultivated methods don't seem to be from our Tiangang City or related to Yunyang Sect.”
Hearing the Second Elder's words, the Upper Proclamation True Person nodded.
“Most of this child's abilities and strengths are not derived from the sect.
We elders of Tiangang City should truly reflect on this.
Not just for Su Chen, but for other disciples as well, have we provided the necessary support and care in our sect?”
