Chapter 281: Chapter 44: Tricking the Master! I’m a Professional (6500-word Chapter)_2
"This..."
Wang Shouzhe slightly furrowed his brow.
"I’ve already created a small space with my spiritual sense, so you can speak freely. No one else can hear." Changchun Ascendant’s voice echoed again.
Binglan Ascendant frowned, glancing at Changchun Ascendant with a peculiar look.
Was she supposed to not exist here?
However, she didn’t stop them and wanted to hear what the young man had to say.
"Ascendant, we agreed to fight only one match," Wang Shouzhe said, "I need to save some strength for the tougher opponents later."
"If you fight one more match, I’ll give you three qian of Eternal Spring Spirit Tea," Changchun Ascendant offered directly as a bribe, "Your opponent is merely in the Qi Refining Realm; it won’t cost you much effort."
"One liang."
Of course, Wang Shouzhe knew the Eternal Spring Spirit Tea was a great thing, so he directly asked for a lion’s share.
"One liang! Do you take my Eternal Spring Spirit Tea to be like the wild tea spirit seeds outside?" Changchun Ascendant’s mustache twitched, "No more than five qian!"
"Five qian is too little." Wang Shouzhe shook his head, "This opponent is a Middle Grade A, at least eight qian, or else you can let other disciples go up."
Other disciples?
What kind of joke is that? To go up and embarrass themselves? Among the young ones from the Eternal Spring Valley, aside from Wang Shouzhe, who can fight a Middle Grade A Little Celestial Pride? They surely can’t send disciples in their thirties up to embarrass themselves, right?
"Eight qian then." Changchun Ascendant gritted his teeth, feeling pained, "But you have to fight well, showcasing the dignity of our Eternal Spring Valley."
Binglan Ascendant nearby twitched her brows, inwardly mocking.
This pair, the old and the young, really know how to play. Do they take my Profound Ice Hall for a dish? Such haggling, truly as if my Profound Ice Hall has no means? Hehe, you just wait.
Eight qian of Eternal Spring Spirit Tea, he indeed earned it.
Wang Shouzhe was unaware that Binglan Ascendant was spectating from the side. Having received the benefits, any reluctance in his heart naturally vanished.
He walked lightly onto the arena, cupping hands to Jiang Yunhao, "Brother Yunhao, I am many years your senior. Even if I win, it would lack honor. How about we call off this battle and you step down?"
Unexpectedly, Jiang Yunhao sneered a few times, "This elder brother, you should worry about yourself first. If you lose to me, wouldn’t it be a disgrace?"
Well, this is a case of good intentions being mistaken for liver and lungs~
Wang Shouzhe sighed in his heart but maintained his graceful demeanor, cupping his hands again, "If that’s the case, please, Brother Yunhao, make your move first."
"Alright!"
Jiang Yunhao did not hesitate and immediately drew the Ice Iron Cold Sword, displaying body techniques, and attacked Wang Shouzhe.
His body technique fundamentals were solid, like lightning, and his swordsmanship was outstanding, with sword momentum flowing seamlessly, fast and intricately woven.
Coupled with his powerful Profound Ice Bloodline, he summoned ice crystal snowflakes, seemingly forming an Ice Domain, chilling the surrounding air significantly.
Don’t underestimate his Ice Domain; the difference between masters often lies in tiny details. Being influenced by the domain, even a slight delay in movement means one word—defeat!
The boy’s strength was extraordinary, appearing barely a notch below the likes of Wang Luqiu or Wang Luojing, both celestial prides.
No wonder he had such a strong tone.
Unfortunately, his opponent was Wang Shouzhe. Nowadays, even if the five and six sisters joined forces, they wouldn’t be able to gauge his depths.
Let alone Jiang Yunhao, this Little Celestial Pride.
Wang Shouzhe merely flickered slightly, drifting away like a willow catkin, causing all of his opponent’s sword techniques to miss completely.
"Humph~ Putting on airs."
Jiang Yunhao’s expression turned cold, tightening his offensive, and his swordsmanship became even fiercer.
Yet, Wang Shouzhe continued to carry his hands behind his back, drifting casually on the arena as if a willow catkin in a storm, unfathomable.
Although Jiang Yunhao’s offensive was as dense as a torrential downpour, not a single strike landed on Wang Shouzhe.
Ultimately, he underestimated Wang Shouzhe.
Neither in his previous nor his current life did he slack off in cultivation, especially in honing the foundational Black Tortoise Tortoise Combat Technique Body Techniques, which he drilled tirelessly for over a decade.
He always understood one principle: no matter how good the talent, one must be grounded, as water eventually wears down stone.
"How is this possible?"
Jiang Yunhao’s face turned extremely unsightly.
He had battled against Spirit Platform Realm cultivators in his family before, confident in holding his own, yet he didn’t imagine Wang Shouzhe would be so troublesome.
His original plan was merely to entangle him, persisting as long as possible, forcing him to reveal as many trump cards as possible.
But now, Wang Shouzhe’s unpredictable body technique made him feel as if he was being played with.
"Brother Yunhao has good fundamentals." Wang Shouzhe praised, "When you reach the Spirit Platform Realm, you’ll surely be a formidable expert."
Jiang Yunhao was so embarrassed he wished he could find a hole to hide in.
His face flushed with shame and frustration, causing him to further accelerate his offensive.
No matter how he attacked, deploying any technique, Wang Shouzhe never engaged, merely using body techniques to maneuver around him.
Time ticked away, and Jiang Yunhao, merely in the Qi Refining Realm, gradually found it hard to sustain.
In contrast, Wang Shouzhe remained calm and collected, strolling leisurely, not even a hint of change on his face.
Faang You’an’s pupils slightly contracted as well.
He originally thought that even if Jiang Yunhao, the junior, would ultimately be defeated, he should be able to uphold the scene and probe the opponent’s foundations, yet he didn’t expect the opponent to merely toy with him using body techniques.
