Fortune Soars, Treasure Grades

Whoosh!

A streak of light flashed, cutting across the sky.

"By a twist of fate, opportunity has come, and this blessing was meant to be mine!"

Chen Ping'an traveled by escape light, in exceptionally high spirits.

This encounter had truly been a fortuitous coincidence.

He had originally come for Dream-Eating Lotus Lord, never expecting to encounter Hua Ruyue.

Though the process had its twists and turns, the outcome could be considered perfect.

Aside from that tiny bit of stifled frustration and gloom, the entire affair had, by and large, been quite perfect.

The only flaw was that he had suppressed Hua Ruyue with the advantage of an entire major realm, yet still ended up with nothing more than a draw. Such an outcome was clearly hard for anyone to accept.

Moreover, this draw was only a temporary one. If they had truly continued fighting, no one could say what the result would have been.

The supreme confidence he had built after suppressing and killing Dream-Eating Lotus Lord the previous moment was taught a harsh lesson by Hua Ruyue, a Great Grandmaster, the next moment.

Along his path, while he could not claim to be invincible across all lands, he had rarely suffered defeat. Even when he encountered setbacks, it had been when facing Upper Realm Cultivators.

When had he ever been like this—one entire major realm above his opponent, yet only barely managing a draw, even facing the risk of defeat?

It was not that he had deliberately concealed his abilities. The other side had simply been far too ferocious.

This kind of situation truly made it hard to keep oneself together.

Hua Ruyue had really turned up the pressure on him!

If all Great Grandmasters were held to this standard, then most Celestials need not call themselves Celestials anymore.
