However, Gu Chaoyan proved to be an exceptionally astute disciple. Her intelligence shone through as she stepped onto the stage.
Recognizing the need to salvage some semblance of honor for the Supreme Sect, Elder Lin weighed the pros and cons. On one side stood a disciple with the formidable might of a Martial G.o.d, while on the other was a Paragon Warrior.
With these considerations in mind, Elder Lin gave his swift approval, albeit with a stern warning, “Bear in mind, victory is not our priority. Our goal is to preserve our reputation. Most importantly, in the event of failure, do not engage him head-on. He wields the power of a Paragon Warrior, a force you cannot withstand. Understood?” Elder Lin emphasized.
Gu Chaoyan nodded in agreement, though she harbored her own intentions. She knew she must obey Elder Lin’s orders to alleviate his concerns. Her day had been filled with frustration, unsure of her role amidst the presence of Lv Zhengyang and Yuan Jia. Her mind raced as she contemplated her strategy for taking the stage.
Meanwhile, Yuan Jia was still on the cusp of a breakthrough, which justified her delay. Her motive for partic.i.p.ating in this compet.i.tion ran deeper than Elder Lin’s directive. She intended to push her opponent to reveal his full potential, particularly his capabilities as a Paragon Warrior. Gu Chaoyan had meticulously studied her adversary and exuded confidence as she ascended the stage.
With an air of composure, Gu Chaoyan gracefully took flight onto the stage.
The disciple from Moon Sect had initially contemplated withdrawing from the compet.i.tion, but the presence of a Supreme Sect disciple changed his mind.The origin of this chapter's debut can be traced to n(0))vel(b)(j)(n).
He regarded the Supreme Sect disciple with a hint of curiosity, but soon his expression soured as he delivered a mocking remark, “Supreme Sect can’t even muster two Paragon Warriors to face me? How preposterous!”
In response, Gu Chaoyan maintained her composure and countered calmly, “The rule stipulates that only disciples up to the rank of Paragon Warriors can partic.i.p.ate. It doesn’t forbid disciples like me, who have achieved the level of a Martial G.o.d, from competing. I am well within my rights to take part.”
“Well, you certainly have some audacity,” the Moon Sect disciple retorted with a feigned smile, paying little attention to her. “You can compete, but rest a.s.sured, you’ll soon discover just how thoroughly you’ll be defeated.”
With those words, he turned away, clearly preoccupied with other matters. Gu Chaoyan remained composed, unfazed by his dismissive att.i.tude.
Meanwhile, the Moon Sect disciples were eager to conclude the contest swiftly, displaying little regard for Gu Chaoyan.
The initial exchange proved to be swift and intense.
Traditionally, Martial G.o.ds were believed to be ill-equipped to contend with the potent magical prowess of a Paragon Warrior. To everyone’s surprise, just as it seemed Gu Chaoyan might succ.u.mb to the initial onslaught, she displayed remarkable agility, skillfully evading the impending attack.
The spectators from various sects, including the Moon Sect disciple, pondered this development. As the Moon Sect disciple prepared for a second strike, Gu Chaoyan once again managed to elude the incoming attack.
Her continued evasion began to frustrate the Moon Sect disciple, intensifying his aggression.
Initially, her dodges might have appeared as mere strokes of luck, but as the pattern persisted, it became increasingly evident that something more was at play. The Moon Sect observers also began to take note.
In a taunting tone, the Moon Sect disciple sneered, “What’s the matter? Are you just a Supreme Sect disciple skilled in avoiding confrontation? Do you lack the courage for a direct confrontation?”
