Chapter 217 Why Men Persist

"Bet fight?" Lu Shiyuan tilted his head.

"That's right! I want to make a bet with you on martial arts! If I win, you should leave Shenlin as soon as possible and never come back again!" Gao Ling said seriously.

"What if you lose?" Lu Shiyuan asked with a smile.

"If I lose..." Gao Ling blinked, smacked the horsetail grass in his mouth, and began to think seriously about the bet.

Seeing that he was hesitant, Lu Shiyuan said, "If you lose, you can't chase me away. You have to come here every morning and be my sparring partner."

He could see that Gao Ling was a rare expert. If he could practice with him, his martial arts would be greatly improved.

Moreover, even if I lose the fight, it doesn’t matter. I can just practice martial arts in another place.

This guy didn't stipulate that Asase Hibiki couldn't change places with him.

"Okay!" Gao Ling nodded without hesitation, "It's just to be your sparring partner, I accept it!"

"Konbumaru, aren't you a hatamoto? How do you have so much time to come to Kamimori?" Asase Hibiki asked in surprise.

"I can skip work!" Gao Ling replied, "Of course, the premise is that I lose."

"You guy, you will be beaten to death by the general on the battlefield sooner or later!" Asase Hibiki couldn't help but complain.

"It's not that serious. It's just a deduction of some salary." Gao Ling waved his hand and emphasized again seriously and solemnly, "Only if I lose."

Miss Miko could only nod and said, "Then you go ahead."

After getting the approval of Asase Hibiki, Gao Ling was very confident. He raised his chin, pointed at Lu Shiyuan and asked, "Hey, you! Your spear skills are pretty good. Besides spear skills, what else can you do? Let me tell you in advance, whether it's sword skills or archery, I'm the best in the world. If you only know spear skills, you can only win me one game at most!"
Well, our fight is a best-of-three match, with a different weapon used in each round."

Seeing the other party's arrogant look, Lu Shiyuan laughed in his heart: "It seems that this gambling uncle is not just a fool. He knows that my shooting skills are better than his, so he chooses to use this method to win."

He looked at Gao Ling, smiled and said, "As for me, I know a little bit of everything."

Near noon, the gambling fight between the two came to an end, and Gao Ling was knocked down by Lu Shiyuan again.

During the nearly two-hour fight, they competed in gun, bow, and sword skills.

In terms of marksmanship, Lu Shiyuan won with a crushing victory. This Mist Cutting Takamine also knew that he could not win, so he admitted defeat simply and decisively.

Then, in the archery competition, the two ended up in a tie!
Gao Ling’s archery skills are indeed amazing, but he is a human being after all, and he has been practicing for too short a time. Compared with Lu Shiyuan, who is a cheater, it is already a rare achievement that he can tie with him.

After losing one and drawing the other, Gao Ling felt a strong sense of crisis. He believed that he was an excellent swordsman, but when facing Lu Shiyuan, a monster who was so strong that he had no blind spots and appeared out of nowhere, he still felt powerless.

Who would have thought that this guy is so good at shooting and archery! If he loses another game, he will be completely defeated!
It’s a pity that the arrow has been shot and Gao Ling can only draw his sword.

The third fight, which is the current sword fight, has continued to this day.

Lu Shiyuan has been playing the game for such a long time that he has mastered the basic martial arts of almost all the characters in the game. After mastering them, his swordsmanship skills have surpassed all others and reached the level of a god.

What's more, he didn't spend much energy in the first two fights, while his opponent had already consumed a lot of physical strength before the third fight began.

As one side gained strength while the other side lost strength, Lu Shiyuan's swordsmanship, which was one level higher than his opponent's, was particularly improved. Almost within three minutes of the start of the fight, Gao Ling had already shown signs of defeat. But this guy didn't know what was wrong. No matter how many times he was knocked down, no matter how many sword wounds he had, and no matter how his hand holding the sword trembled, he still gritted his teeth and insisted on not admitting defeat.

Looking at Gao Ling, who was struggling to stand up on the ground with a bruised face and nose, Lu Shiyuan showed admiration on his face.

Well done, he is worthy of being the sparring partner I have chosen. He is really tough and can still hold on after fighting for two hours. Such performance is really admirable.

Moreover, this guy's martial arts skills are indeed high. In just two hours of competition, Lu Shiyuan gained a lot and his martial arts skills improved a lot.

If I win this match, Gao Ling will become my sparring partner for a period of time in the future. It's exciting to think about having such a high-quality sparring partner in the upcoming training.

But why doesn't this guy fall down and admit defeat?

Thinking of this, he looked at Gao Ling with some confusion, watching the other party clench his teeth and hold the Mist Cutting tightly, with a will that could not be subdued in his eyes.

Lu Shiyuan looked at the Eye of the Rock God on the other person's waist and sighed in his heart, as expected, the Eye of the God will not make a wrong shot.

"But it's just a gambling fight, it shouldn't be like this." Although he knew that the other party was a strong-willed person, Lu Shiyuan still felt very strange.

Isn't it just being my sparring partner? If he is a martial arts lover, being able to compete with a strong man should be something he dreams of. But he is trying hard to push this good thing away... There must be something fishy about this!
Lu Shiyuan was cautious and fought again with Gao Ling who rushed up. Not long after, the latter was knocked down again.

"Mr. Gao Ling, don't go on. Your injuries are already..." Outside the competition venue, the extremely worried voice of Miss Miko rang out.

After hearing this, Gao Ling seemed to be stimulated. He stood up shakily and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth: "There is no word "give up" in my dictionary!
I will win, I will!"

As he said this, he smiled at Asase Hibiki in a cool way, but his smile pulled at his wound, causing him to grimace in pain, looking particularly funny.

"I see." Lu Shiyuan finally understood. Could it be that this gambler uncle was interested in the little girl Asase Hibiki? Judging from the situation, the latter also had the same feelings for the former? It was just that for some reason, there was always a layer of window paper between the two that had not been broken.

In the blink of an eye, Lu Shiyuan had imagined no less than ten scenarios.

Such as the rift between master and apprentice, the difference in status, obstruction between families, forced marriages and so on.

Lu Shiyuan felt that there was always a plot that applied to these two people.

Well, I've gone a little off topic. Let's get back to the point. I finally found out the reason why Gao Ling didn't want to admit defeat.

This guy simply doesn't want to admit defeat in front of the person he likes, that's all.

After understanding the other party's thoughts, Lu Shiyuan quickly came up with a solution.

He waited for Gao Ling to attack again, then he parried his opponent's knife and whispered, "I have someone I like."

Gao Ling's sword momentum faltered when he heard this.

Seeing that it worked, Lu Shiyuan continued slowly, "She is not a wife-less person. Although she is not with me now, I plan to marry her after I return to Liyue in a while."

After hearing this, Gao Ling finally felt relieved. The breath in his chest suddenly disappeared. His overwhelmed body could no longer support him to continue moving. He fell to the ground holding the knife. Before he fainted, he uttered a few words from between his teeth:

"If you didn't tell me earlier..."
