Chapter 90: If Not for You, Gu Wei Might Have Already Lost
Chapter 90: If Not for You, Gu Wei Might Have Already Lost
At this moment, standing on the outskirts of the spectator stands, Gu Wei's face was filled with embarrassment.
Speaking of which, Gu Wei was originally a very proud person.
As Gu Feng's younger sister, she had her own sense of pride.
But today, her pride seemed to have been completely crushed.
In her mind, she recalled the words she had said earlier, feeling ashamed.
Especially when the people around her looked at her, Gu Wei felt like they were laughing at her.
"Second Sister."
Hearing her younger brother call her, Gu Wei still frowned tightly.
Earlier, she had blamed Gu Yu for not defeating Su Chen in three moves.
But her performance wasn't much better.
Before making her move, she had boasted so shamelessly and confidently.
Gu Wei felt that it was indeed embarrassing, and she had indeed lost face today.
During the mid-year examination, there were already many people present.
In Tiangang City, Gu Wei was also considered a relatively famous talented disciple.
Compared to Wu Yi and Yao Xiaoyu, Gu Wei's strength and status were obviously much higher.
But today, she had suppressed her strength to the initial stage of the seventh rank.
Yet she still couldn't defeat Su Chen.
In the end, she even attempted a sudden sneak attack, intending to injure him.
Seeing this, the spectators from Tiangang City couldn't help but gossip.
They would surely point fingers at her.
Feeling unable to maintain her composure, Gu Wei turned her head and quietly left the training ground.
Before leaving the training ground, Gu Wei couldn't help but turn her head and take one last look at Su Chen.
At first, she didn't even consider Su Chen worthy of her attention.
It wasn't that she looked down on him; she simply ignored him.
The winner of the Newcomer Martial Arts Tournament, just because he was slightly older and relied on a bit of luck to win the competition.
Moreover, he was the type of disciple who was greedy for credit and had low moral character.
She was even a bit angry that her younger brother gave Su Chen more attention.
But after their confrontation, she could clearly sense that he was different from her imagination.
Su Chen's use of the Cloud Walking Steps was surprisingly more agile than her own execution.
It was so agile that she wanted to describe it as bizarre.
Su Chen's movements and techniques were unpredictable.
If it were just his movements and techniques, it wouldn't be a problem, but the crucial point was the saber technique he employed.
Gu Wei had witnessed the Newcomer Martial Arts Tournament that day.
Her assessment of Hou Chenfei's loss was the same as many others—that Hou Chenfei lacked experience.
But now, she had a different understanding.
Observing from the sidelines, Gu Wei felt that she could see through Su Chen's feints at a glance.
However, when she entered the training ground and faced Su Chen, she discovered that she couldn't discern his moves.
The saying, "Those involved are often the last to know," seemed to materialize at this moment.
During their confrontation, Gu Wei even felt a sense of discomfort.
There were moments when she clearly identified flaws in his techniques, yet her heart struggled to confirm them.
She understood why Hou Chenfei had lost at that moment.
In the training ground, the spectators' gazes shifted from Gu Wei to Su Chen.
Instead, they paid little attention to the Upper Proclamation Master's words.
On the spectator stands, Jin Yue cautiously sat next to Ouyang Chuan.
"Senior Ouyang, the confrontation just now, it shouldn't have been intentional on Gu Wei's part, right? If she had continuously suppressed her strength to the seventh rank, I think Gu Wei would have lost."
She spoke in a hushed tone, as the Upper Proclamation Master was still speaking.
And Ouyang Chuan seemed to have little interest in listening to Shang Xuan Zhenren's speech.
He was also thinking about the recent sparring.
He had clearly observed that during the match, Gu Wei had fallen into a disadvantage.
Su Chen's deceptive moves were beyond her comprehension.
"My opinion is actually similar to yours.
Additionally, Little Yue, do you think the agility of the Xing Yun Bu Su Chen used is better than others?"
Upon hearing this, Jin Yue was taken aback.
"Is the Xing Yun Bu's body technique that Su Senior Apprentice used, Xing Yun Bu?"
She hadn't even realized that these were the body techniques of Xing Yun Bu.
Hearing these words, Ouyang Chuan didn't criticize Jin Yue.
Turning his head to look at the other students, he asked in a low voice.
Many of them shook their heads; they hadn't realized that these were the body techniques of Xing Yun Bu either.
"It's not your fault; the body techniques Su Chen used are based on Xing Yun Bu.
However, his application, speed, and form are far superior to our understanding of Xing Yun Bu.
Indeed, without a deep understanding of Xing Yun Bu, it's difficult to discern its essence."
After saying these words, the people behind him fell silent.
Their gazes couldn't help but turn towards Su Chen.
"So, when Hou Chenfei Senior Apprentice lost to Su Senior Apprentice, it wasn't because of an accident.
Su Senior Apprentice's talent and potential were underestimated."
Jin Yue spoke softly.
Hearing this, Ouyang Chuan nodded.
"Perhaps you're right; not only did we fail to understand Su Chen's character, but we also didn't see his talent and potential.
Today's Mid-Year Examination basically proves that Su Chen's victory in the sparring is genuine."
Ouyang Chuan was right; after today's match, the doubts about Su Chen would decrease significantly.
Before Gu Wei made her move, she had said so many disparaging words.
She had no reason to embarrass herself.
This match was enough to prove Su Chen's strength.
At this moment, Su Chen had already returned to sit behind Ji Sheng.
Su Chen's expression was calm, having defeated Gu Wei, and there was no sign of excitement.
On the contrary, his classmates by his side couldn't contain their smiles.
Their laughter wasn't to mock Gu Wei.
Instead, it was because Su Chen had fiercely slapped Ji Sheng's face.
He had spoken so affirmatively, so resolutely.
He had said that none of his disciples had talent or potential, and none of them were worth cultivating.
But Su Chen's performance just now was a fact.
Soon, Shang Xuan Zhenren finished his speech, and the Mid-Year Examination officially ended.
Next, the sect would judge which disciples to cultivate based on the results of the examination.
The training ground became noisy again.
Su Chen's classmates by his side seemed to have been holding back their anger.
"Mr. Ji, I hope you'll make a suggestion to the Elder; at least, arrange for Su Senior Apprentice to go to Mr. Ouyang's tutelage."
"You also saw Su Senior Apprentice's performance just now.
We, who lack talent, can be affected, but Su Senior Apprentice deserves better guidance. If not for you, Gu Wei might have lost earlier."
After one person finished speaking, I, the Elder, would have suggested something else."
"Mr. Ji, you won't forget what you said before, right?
You just said that Su Senior Apprentice could withstand Gu Wei's moves for twenty or thirty exchanges, and you acknowledged Su Senior Apprentice."
Now, Gu Wei was at a disadvantage during the recent match."
They took turns speaking.
Ji Sheng, who had always had a smile on his face, looking casual, seemed to have a change in expression at this moment.
