The courtyard was deathly silent.

All eyes were fixed on the small house where Gu Wanquan was.

"Squeak!"

The wooden door was pushed open by a slender hand, and the overwhelming sword intent caused everyone in the courtyard to involuntarily take a step back.

Gu Wanquan, dressed in white, slowly walked out of the house, a sword hanging at his waist, his white robes fluttering.

His narrow, almond-shaped eyes narrowed into thin lines as he smiled, his joy genuine and heartfelt, without any pretense.

Even though he carried a secret that no one else knew, Gu Wanquan was genuinely excited at this moment because he had comprehended the Great Dao!

To everyone's surprise, just as they reached the doorway, a tile suddenly fell from the roof and shattered into pieces.

Those were the roof tiles that had been knocked down when the sword light pierced through the roof.

"We shouldn't have to pay for this, right?" Gu Wanquan glanced at the broken tiles and asked the crowd apologetically.

His smile remained gentle, as warm and approachable as a friendly older brother, as if the strange phenomenon he had just witnessed was not caused by him.

  

Seeing the complex expressions on everyone's faces, Gu Wanquan jokingly asked, as if he already knew the answer, "Eh? Looks like everyone's had a good meal. Well, I guess I won't be getting any good food tonight!"

Gu Wanquan was joking, but Yin Chaoge and the others looked unusually serious.

Whether it was the soaring sword light just now, or the unfathomable Gu Wanquan standing in front of them now.

They could feel as if there was an invisible chasm separating them from Gu Wanquan, who was standing in front of the door!

This insurmountable barrier acted as a screen, separating them from Gu Wanquan.

Before this insurmountable barrier, they were nothing but mortals, while Gu Wanquan was an immortal sitting high in the heavens!

This is the difference brought about by strength. At this moment, Gu Wanquan is like a high mountain, weighing heavily on everyone's hearts!

Even the arrogant and haughty Yin Chaoge lowered his head, not daring to meet those narrow, phoenix-shaped eyes.

With a sword at his waist, Gu Wanquan strolled leisurely to the front of the group, glanced at each of them, and spoke in a tone of senior brotherly admiration:

"Everyone has worked very hard these past few days; the minimum cultivation level is at least the fourth level of Qi Refining!"

At this moment, none of the geniuses in the courtyard had the courage to even look him in the eye.

When Gu Wanquan's gaze fell on Su Yi, he couldn't help but laugh as he looked into Su Yi's captivating eyes that were staring at him.

"As expected of Junior Brother Su, you've already reached the eighth level of Qi Refining so quickly!" Gu Wanquan, who was still at the sixth level of Qi Refining, praised.

Just as Su Yi was about to speak, Gu Wanquan in front of her took a slight breath, his internal energy surged, and his aura suddenly increased!

"Seventh Heaven of Qi Refining!"

"Eighth level of Qi Refining!"

In the blink of an eye, he broke through two realms.

Su Yi swallowed back the words that were on the tip of her tongue, and couldn't help but sigh, "The chosen one of this version is truly terrifying!"

Gu Wanquan let out a soft breath, and with a somewhat presumptuous smile, said to Su Yi, "The Ninth Level of Qi Refining is more complicated than I thought!"

In the midst of their conversation, the only difference between Su Yi and Gu Wanquan was instantly erased by Gu Wanquan!

A false pride.

By taking advantage of every opportunity and relying on system upgrades, he broke through five realms in a row.

This impressed even the most talented individuals, who felt inferior to him.

But the true prodigies.

He squatted in his room and, with just a tattered piece of paper, conjured up a strange phenomenon in the heavens and earth: ten thousand swords rang out in unison, and the world celebrated.

At this moment, in front of Gu Wanquan, who had comprehended the "Nine Swords of the Sword Immortal," Su Yi, who had been jumping around these past few days, seemed like a joke!

"Damn it, so what if you're the chosen one of this version? Acting all high and mighty!"

Su Yi cursed inwardly, but still smiled and said, "Congratulations on your successful enlightenment, Senior Brother Gu!"

"It was just a fluke. Junior Brother Su reached the eighth level of Qi Refining much earlier than me, which is why I feel ashamed of myself!" Gu Wanquan waved his hand and replied with a smile.

The two men's insincere pleasantries brought the assembled prodigies back to their senses.

Whether their feelings were genuine or shock and resentment, they all congratulated Gu Wanquan on his successful enlightenment with mixed emotions.

"May I ask, senior brother, what have you realized?" Su Yi asked curiously.

"It's nothing, I just learned how to draw a sword!" Gu Wanquan said modestly.

Oh my, I've just learned how to draw a sword!

Are you pretending to be someone you're not?

You've already attracted extraordinary celestial phenomena, and you're still being humble.

How about I trade my system for yours, and I'll become the white-robed sword immortal?

Su Yi rolled her eyes and mentally mocked herself, but the heaviness in her heart was no less than that of the prodigy beside her.

Although I knew that Gu Wanquan would comprehend the Nine Swords of the Sword Immortal in the next few days, I did not expect it to happen so quickly.

It's only been four days since I entered the Luoxia Immortal Sect, and the plot has already progressed to this point!

Looking at Gu Wanquan, who remained as calm as ever, Su Yi was very curious about the extent of his strength!

There are still more than half a month until the outer sect competition. If Gu Wanquan can break through in this half month, then what's the point of me playing around?

I recalled my ridiculously difficult main quest: "Win first place in the outer sect competition and become an inner sect disciple as the top disciple."

Putting yourself in a position to confront someone like Gu Wanquan is tantamount to declaring the mission a failure.

Then he would be stuck in the Qi Refining stage for the rest of his life, waiting for Gu Wanquan to destroy his sect and kill him!

"Hey, do you think if I knelt down before Gu Wanquan right now and begged him to give me the top prize in the outer sect competition, would he agree?"

It wasn't kneeling; my knees were a little weak and I wanted to rest, so I just begged the other person a little.

But considering Gu Wanquan's reputation for never having been defeated in his life, Su Yi knew that Gu Wanquan would never be so magnanimous as to pretend to lose to her just because she kowtowed.

Su Yi, who had already started thinking in a dirty mind, suddenly remembered her mythical talent, "Innate Allure"!

Does this mean the way to break the deadlock is to be alone in a room with Gu Wanquan, then frantically increase his favorability towards him, and then make him reject you?

With this leverage over him, he could threaten Gu Wanquan not to participate in the outer sect competition, or else he would ruin Gu Wanquan's reputation!

Thinking about this, Su Yi couldn't help but feel disgusted by her own thoughts.

Theoretically, it might be feasible, but if it really came to that, Su Yi would rather wait a few years and be killed by the other party.

He'd rather die than sell hooks!

But Su Yi didn't want to give up. Even if there was no hope, he was determined to give it his all!

At worst, I'll just die; I'll pretend I never transmigrated!

This is also due to Su Yi's personality. When she is driven to a dead end, she will turn into a mad dog and will bite the other party even if it means death!

Otherwise, how could Su Yi have been favored by the Empress among thousands of players and become the Empress's number one lackey?

Therefore, the most important thing now is to use the remaining time to figure out how to break the deadlock.

Gather as many useful cards as possible, then unleash a stunning move like a rabbit kicking an eagle!

Having decided to probe the other party's capabilities, Su Yi uttered a statement that left all the geniuses present in disbelief.

Su Yi looked at Gu Wanquan seriously and said:

"I'm really curious about what level you've reached, senior brother. I wonder if I could learn a few tricks from you?"
