My whole family are full of geniuses, I really don't want to be a succubus!

However, to achieve the peak effect of the Foundation Establishment stage using this skill, the amount of true essence consumed is enormous.

The remaining true essence in Su Yi's body was instantly cleared after the golden bell manifested.

The moment the true energy in his body was completely depleted, Su Yi didn't hesitate to upgrade immediately!

Having already retained his upgrade experience, Su Yi instantly stepped into the "Nine Heavens of Qi Refining" realm, just like Gu Wanquan!

Su Yi, who has player attributes, deliberately kept his "Eighth Level of Qi Refining" realm unadvanced for the sake of the effect of leveling up.

Compared to NPCs, although they will become slightly stronger after advancing their realm, their strength will not increase by much.

After leveling up, players will not only have full health and mana, but will also have certain negative effects removed.

This effect is as miraculous as taking the Nine-Turn Golden Elixir!

Su Yi, who was instantly at full health and mana, had his energy completely drained again by this skill!

Su Yi swayed, her face pale as she looked at Gu Wanquan, who had crashed hard into the golden bell.

With the combined true energy of the player and the NPC, the true energy of one being at the eighth level of Qi Refining and the other at the half-ninth level of Qi Refining was barely enough to unleash the white combat skill "Golden Bell Protection" used by Chen Feng, who was at the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage!

Everything is going as I expected, and it's still within my plan!

When Su Yi learned that Gu Wanquan was also stuck at the eighth level of Qi Refining and unable to advance, she knew what kind of plan he had.

That was a backup plan that Gu Wanquan had left for himself!

The Nine Swords of the Sword Immortal possesses immense power, but it also consumes a great deal of energy.

If a cultivator at the eighth level of Qi Refining fails to defeat their opponent using the "Nine Swords of the Sword Immortal" technique.

Gu Wanquan will then advance his cultivation level and use it again at the Ninth Heaven of Qi Refining.

Two strikes of "Nine Swords of the Sword Immortal" would be impossible for even a Foundation Establishment cultivator to withstand, let alone someone at the ninth level of Qi Refining!

This is also the biggest variable when facing Gu Wanquan!

Su Yi racked her brains trying to figure out how to force out this backup plan.

In the end, faced with the choice between a forceful attack and going berserk, Su Yi chose the underhanded approach.

So from the moment he started administering the drug in the morning, he began to weave a large net for Gu Wanquan.

  

From the very beginning of the competition before the grand finale, Su Yi had been setting a trap for Gu Wanquan.

He deliberately feigned weakness so that Gu Wanquan would not take him seriously.

Then, use laxatives to deplete Gu Wanquan's internal energy and disrupt his mental state.

This forced Gu Wanquan to improve his cultivation level and caused him to consume a certain amount of his true energy.

Once Gu Wanquan reaches the ninth level of Qi Refining, he will only have one chance to use the Nine Swords of the Sword Immortal!

Then Su Yi frantically used her small skills to wear down Gu Wanquan, harassing his mentality again until she forced him to use the "Nine Swords of the Sword Immortal"!

The reason he used this trump card, a copy of Chen Feng's, was to be able to defend against this attack from the "Nine Swords of the Sword Immortal"!

Even though he is the chosen one of this version and has mastered this mythical sword technique, Gu Wanquan is still only at the Qi Refining stage!

Even the "Golden Bell Protection" technique, which is at the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage, couldn't stop Gu Wanquan, who was in the Qi Refining stage, so Su Yi was completely helpless.

The difference between the ninth level of Qi Refining and the ninth level of Foundation Establishment is a whole huge gap!

If we could smooth things over with a single sword technique.

Then it's no wonder that Su Yi, who was going to fight Gu Wanquan, would be stuck in the Qi Refining stage for the rest of her life!

As long as he can block this attack, "Nine Swords of the Sword Immortal," with Gu Wanquan's current amount of true energy, he definitely won't be able to use it a second time.

Having withstood that attack, and now that Gu Wanquan had lost his sword immortal skills, Su Yi was truly not afraid of him!

Now that everything is done, the only question is whether the Golden Bell Protection can withstand this attack of the "Nine Swords of the Sword Immortal"!

Gu Wanquan, who was moving so fast that he almost left a blur of the PPT slides, felt a sudden chill in his heart when he saw Su Yi raise the golden bell, but it was too late!

Once the sword technique is unleashed, there is no possibility of retracting it. Gu Wanquan instantly drew his sword and slammed it hard against the golden bell!

"clang!"

The collision between the two instantly produced a loud metallic clang, like the sound of a tolling bell, ancient and melodious!

An invisible wave of energy transformed into a gentle breeze, sweeping outwards from the center of the training ground.

Everyone in the stands stared in disbelief at what they were seeing.

First, there was Gu Wanquan's astonishing sword-drawing technique, and then Su Yi used the Golden Bell Body Protection that only a peak Foundation Establishment cultivator could solidify.

The shockwave generated by the collision caused everyone in the stands to fall into deep self-doubt.

Are these two monsters really at the Qi Refining stage like me?

Why is their cultivation period different from mine?

I'm reporting them! These two people are cheating!

The Foundation Establishment cultivators, who had originally just come to watch the spectacle, turned pale as they stared at the scene before them.

Faced with Gu Wanquan's astonishing sword strike, he himself dared not say he could block it!

If I were really asked to take this sword strike, would I be able to use the same Golden Bell Protection as Su Yi?

After going through it in their minds, the few Foundation Establishment cultivators outside the arena couldn't help but feel ashamed.

These two monsters are too strong!

Su Yi almost lost her composure when she saw the golden bell cracking instantly in front of her!

Seriously, man, are you really that good?

Even the Golden Bell Protection at the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage can be broken?

As the cracks in the golden bell grew larger, a desperate Su Yi reached for her storage bag.

But the Qi Refining stage is still just the Qi Refining stage. The cracked golden bell remained sturdy and ultimately withstood the attack!

When Gu Wanquan looked at the golden bell that he had cracked, his face was unusually gloomy.

He finally understood all of Su Yi's schemes. He should say that he had fallen into Su Yi's trap from the moment Su Yi took the initiative to invite him to a competition ten days ago!

I originally thought this outer sect competition would be a stage to showcase my strength.

Gu Wanquan, who never thought he would lose, only thought about how to win the competition!

Gu Wanquan never expected that he would be forced to this point!

What's so strange?

Is Su Yi setting a trap for him?

Is it my own fault for being too careless?

He blamed himself for not learning some other sword techniques.

As Gu Wanquan looked at Jin Zhong, who had blocked his sword technique, a thought he had never considered before surfaced in his mind.

"Am I really going to lose?"

"How could I possibly lose! I am Gu Wanquan!"

Gu Wanquan roared, his usual composure and gentleness vanished, and his violent aura suddenly intensified.

With the enhancement of true energy, the longsword instantly transformed into a snake shadow, striking the golden bell once more.

The already shattered golden bell exploded into countless fragments, turning into starlight and dissipating between heaven and earth.

After landing, Gu Wanquan gave Su Yi no chance to catch her breath. He lunged forward again, gripped his longsword in a reverse grip, and charged toward Su Yi!

Although the speed was not as fast as before, this move clearly carried an extremely strong killing intent!

For the first time, Gu Wanquan harbored murderous intent towards Su Yi!

He's going to kill this bastard who's standing in his way!

A sweeping blow, carrying the force to shatter a thousand armies, came hurtling towards Su Yi!

"clang!"

To Gu Wanquan's disbelief, a long sword blocked his sweeping attack!

Holding a long sword, Su Yi calmly looked at Gu Wanquan and said:

"Sorry, I'm ready to win!"
