Chapter 137 Turn-Based Game
“Alright.”
Gu Yuange’s expression was calm as she agreed without hesitation.
It was obvious that Fang Yuan already had a certain amount of prestige in the team, and with Gu Tianqing no longer opposing him, everyone basically did not say much about his arrangements during the Gu Dao convention. She went up to fight with her opponent, summoning her Gu worm and waiting for the judge’s countdown. She used a Gu worm that could greatly increase her close combat strength, and had already formed a set with the other Gu worms in her acupoints, complementing each other’s abilities.
Even though it was only a Silver quality Gu worm, its explosive effect was not weaker than Fang Yuan’s current Soul Devouring Gu’s Bloodthirsty boost.
It was even better.
With the Gu Immortal Sect’s unique rank nine-turns technique, its power was multiplied.
Gu Yuange was sent by Gu Zhenren, so there was no doubt of her strength.
In last night’s battle, even though she did not play a crucial role, her performance was commendable. After all, she was facing someone two layers stronger than her, and it was already good enough that she had an effect in battle.
If it was an ordinary third layer Enlightenment Realm Gu master, they would not even be able to get close to the black robed man.
Using the True Sight Gu to judge the strength of the spirit essence in her body, she had already surpassed most of the surrounding fourth layer Enlightenment Realm Gu masters.
All in all, Gu Yuange was slightly stronger than Ruan Qinghe.
She was more than enough to deal with the person on the stage.
After the competition started, as Fang Yuan had expected, the situation on the stage was one-sided.
The opponent was being pressured by Gu Yuange’s fierce attacks.
After only ten moves, he was knocked off the stage.
“The Gu Immortal Sect wins.”
They got two points. In the fifth life and death match, if the Gu Immortal Sect could win, they could get four points, so there was still hope of catching up to the other sects.
Fang Yuan personally fought against a Gu master at the fifth layer of the Enlightenment Realm.
“Qi Yuan Sect, Fang He.”
“Gu Immortal Sect, Fang Yuan.”
After exchanging names, Fang Yuan did not expect to meet a brother from his own clan.
However, even though both surnames were Fang, Fang Yuan did not show him any mercy.
He directly released the rank four Soul Devouring Gu, crushing the battle.
In the crowd outside, a young man narrowed his eyes.
“A rank four Gold quality Gu worm, just as Zhang Huan said, this kid is not easy to deal with.”
“However, I have yet to kill an eighty-seventh ranked prodigy, Hehe.”
“Gu Immortal Sect… Fang Yuan…” “There are three days, there is no rush, if there is no chance now, I can make some preparations first.”
“He can release many Gu worms’ abilities at once, I have to defend against this.” “How can I defend against it… the Evil Spirit Gu can restrict spirit essence. I can use it, but my killer move will also be restricted, if it is not lethal enough, it is not realistic to kill him.”
“How about… using poison?”
He retracted his gaze from Fang Yuan and walked out.
The Qi Yuan sect master looked at his second strongest teammate being easily defeated, and his expression was extremely ugly.
But on second thought, the other party was from the Gu Immortal Sect, one of the top sects in the Yan Shen Empire. There was nothing unreasonable about losing to them.
Looking back at the arrangement between the Gu Immortal Sect and them in these five matches, he could not help but praise them in his heart.
In these five matches, only two Gu masters who matched the Gu Immortal Sect’s strength appeared. It was obvious that they were trying to create doubts.
Moreover, these two people won in one strike, so the other sects could not figure out their strength.
“It seems that the Gu Immortal Sect is trying to preserve their strength.”
He sighed, bringing his team members back to the outer ring to watch the matches in the other arenas.
Fang Yuan also brought Gu Tianqing and the others out of the competition area. Their next opponent was the Tai Yi Sect.
Fang Yuan did not have many thoughts about fighting the Tai Yi Sect. He already knew the opponents’ levels when they met at the stairs. He could just crush them.
What he needed to pay attention to was the battle with the Tianxiang Sect, as well as the other two battles where they were challenged.
If he could not make preparations, he was destined to be on the defensive.
This was something that could not be helped.
The battles in several arenas were very intense, and there were all sorts of Gu worm skills shining
It looked like there was no way to determine the victor in a short period of time.
In the blink of an eye, the sun was setting and the sky was turning yellow.
“When will it be our turn to fight…”
Ruan Qinghe was a little bored. These people were too weak, and they could not win even after fighting for so long. It all depended on who could use the least amount of spirit essence to activate the Gu worms’ abilities.
In the end, whoever had more spirit essence would win.
Boring!
There was no passion at all.
In fact, this was something that could not be helped.
The strength of the sects participating in the Gu Dao convention was uneven.
Many of the small sects’ rising stars did not even have decent Gu worms.
There was no need to mention their battle experience. It was so rare that when they met Gu masters of the same level, they would fight like a turn-based game.
Gu Tianqing yawned. “It’s hard to say. Based on the current progress, if they have fought all five rounds, we should be able to finish them before dinner tomorrow night.”
Ruan Qinghe could not sit still anymore, so she suggested, “Why don’t we go out for a walk, and come back after a round?”.
“Stop fooling around.” Gu Tianqing glared at her. “What if we run into other sects that are challenging us? We are attending the Gu Dao convention under the sect master’s orders, if we delay the competition and it affects the final ranking, how are we going to answer when we return?”
Ruan Qinghe stuck out her tongue and did not reply. “I think it would be good to go out for a walk.”
Fang Yuan suddenly spoke, and he lowered his voice. “The longer the first stage of the competition lasts, the more advantageous it will be for us. What we should do now is to think of a way to wake Wan Qian and Junior Pang up and let them recover, only then will we have more confidence in the future competition.”
“But…”
“Junior Gu, I know what you want to say.” Fang Yuan smiled and said, “How about this, we split into two groups. Junior Ruan and I will go to the medical center in the capital city to see if there is a way to wake them up. You can go out and walk around if you want, but you have to leave two people to guard. If you encounter a challenging sect, go up first and take the first round. Just use the communication type Gu worm to inform us to come back in time. It doesn’t matter if you lose one point.” “This… is also ok.”
Gu Tianqing also knew that the second stage of the competition cannot be without the two unconscious disciples, so he did not object.
